[ragnarok1945]

if this is going to lead to Alex seeking retribution very soon, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 45 everyone. Enjoy.

 

[spoiler=Chapter 45]Mystery went back to the rest area where everyone else is at.

 

"I'm sorry. I couldn't bring him back." said Mystery.

 

"Don't worry. We found a way to get back after you won." said Nick. "Now if we could only get them to Duel us inside the mark of their Earthbound Immortals."

 

The announcer came up on the plasma screen in the rest area.

 

"Alright! Our next contestants are from Team Satellite and Team Ultimate Kingdom." said the announcer. "From Team Satellite its the kid with the mind of 100 researchers, Link! And from Team Ultimate Kingdom it's the second respected man of their country, the Kingdom - King!"

 

"Alright! Now it's my turn, so look out!" yelled Link.

 

"Which "Synchronized" Deck are you playing with?" asked Rein.

 

"My Tuner "Synchronized" Deck of course." said Link. "I'll test the other one next round when I win."

 

"If you win." said Malcolm as he and Madeline came over.

 

"Huh?" said Link.

 

"Malcolm's right, Link." said Madeline. "Our father shows no fear when it comes to Dueling, so I would keep my guard up."

 

"Don't sweat it." said Link. "I've never lost with this Deck before."

 

"Yes you have." said Nick stating the obvious.

 

"Well there was that one time with you, but not this time." said Link. "I've been cooking up strategies to use on my opponents during the tournament, so I'll be able to win hands down. Just you watch." said Link walking out of the rest area.

 

"He's going to lose." said Destiny.

 

"What?" asked Nick.

 

"Your friend is going to lose and there's nothing we can do about it." said Destiny.

 

"Aw man. Link." said Nick all worried.

 

They stepped out to the arena with their Duel Disks.

 

"Are our competitors ready?" asked the announcer.

 

"You bet!" yelled Link.

 

"Yes." said King.

 

They readied their Duel Disks.

 

"Alright!" yelled the announcer. "Duel........ Start!"

 

Duel!

Link/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

King/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Link: Turn 1

I draw. I play the Continuous Spell "Synchronized Gate", whenever I Normal Summon a "Synchronized" monster, I can Special Summon 1 "Synchronized" from my Deck. Next, I activate the Field Spell "Reverse-Synchronized Realm". Now I summon "Synchronized Frog"(LV2/WATER/Aqua/Tuner/ATK/1000 DEF/0) Now the effect of "Synchronized Gate" activates, so I Special Summon "Synchronized Angel"(LV4/LIGHT/Fairy/Tuner/ATK/1500 DEF/1000) Now I play the spell "Double Summon", so I can summon again this turn, so I summon another "Synchronized Angel"(LV4/LIGHT/Fairy/Tuner/ATK/1500 DEF/1000) And since I Normal Summoned again, I can Special Summon "Synchronized Arsonist"(LV5/FIRE/Pyro/Tuner/ATK/1500 DEF/500) Now I'm tuning my "Angel"(LV4) with my "Frog"(LV2). (King says: Synchro Summons can only be done with one Tuner.) That's where you're wrong when you're playing against this Deck. "Synchronized" monsters can be used for Synchro Summons with more than 1 Tuner. Now I Synchro Summon "Synchronized Brambles"(LV6/DARK/Plant/Synchro/Tuner/ATK/2300 DEF/1900) Now I activate the effects of my "Synchronized" monsters. "Angel"(s) effect increases my LP by 1000. (Link: LP 9000) And my "Frog"(s) effect allows me to draw 1 card. (Link: Hand: 2) Now I'm tuning my "Arsonist"(LV5) with my second "Angel"(LV4) so I can Synchro Summon "Synchronized Leviathan"(LV9/WATER/Sea Serpent/Synchro/Tuner/ATK/2700 DEF/2700) Now I activate the effects of my "Synchronized" monsters. "Angel" as you already know, can increase my LP by 1000. (Link: LP 10000) Now "Arsonist"(s) effect inflicts 1500 points of damage to my opponent. (King: LP 6500) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

 

"How do you like the Duel so far?" asked Link.

 

"Hmph. Stubborn child." said King. "Your confidence will be your downfall."

 

"Yeah right." said Link. "Your move."

 

Link/ 1 card/ LP 10000

King/ 5 cards/ LP 6500

Field: "Reverse-Synchronized Realm"

 

King: Turn 2

I draw. I summon "Kingdom - Mounted Knight"(LV4/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1200) Now I activate his effect, when he's Normal Summoned, by paying 1500 LP (King: LP 5000) I can Special Summon 1 "Kingdom" monster from my hand, so I Special Summon "Kingdom - Swordsman"(LV3/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1500 DEF/500) Now I activate his effect, once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 LV4 or lower "Kingdom" monster from my hand, so I Special Summon "Kingdom - Jester Imposter"(LV2/EARTH/Warrior/Tuner/ATK/800 DEF/800) Now I activate his effect as well, once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 "Kingdom - Court Jester"(LV1/EARTH/Warrior/Tuner/ATK/300 DEF/300) from my hand. Now I play the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (King: Hand: 3) Now I activate the Quick-Play Spell "Weapon Artilery", when this card is activated, if I control 2 or more "Kingdom" monsters, I can activate the "Kingdom - Artilery" Continuous Spell from my Deck. Now I activate the effect of "Kingdom - Artilery", once per turn, I can inflict damage to you equal to the combined ATK of all "Kingdom" monsters I control, so you take 4200 points of damage. (Link: LP 5800) Now I'm tuning my "Jester Imposter"(LV2) with my "Mounted Knight"(LV4) and my "Swordsman"(LV3). "To all peasants of this forsaken world, bow before the Ultimate Kingdom! Synchro Summon!" Take Flight! "Kingdom - Dragon"(LV9/EARTH/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/ATK/? DEF/2500) Now its effect activates, its original ATK are the combined total of ATK of the monsters used to summon it, so it gains 3900 ATK. (ATK: 3900) Next, I play the spell "Call the Guards", by paying 2000 LP (King: LP 3000) I can activate the "Kingdom - Guards" Continuous Spell from my Deck. Now I activate "Kingdom - Guards" effect, once per turn, I can destroy 1 face-up monster on the field, so I can destroy your "Synchronized Leviathan". (Link says: Crap!) Now "Kingdom - Dragon" destroy his "Synchronized Brambles". (Link counters: I activate the Continuous Trap "Synchronized Guard", when this card is activated, by removing 1 "Synchronized" monster from my Graveyard from play, I can negate your attack.) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

 

Link/ 1 card/ LP 5800

King/ 0 cards/ LP 3000

Field: "Reverse-Synchronized Realm"

 

Link: Turn 3

I draw. I summon "Synchronized Moth"(LV1/WIND/Insect/Tuner/ATK/0 DEF/0) Now I activate the effect of "Synchronized Gate", so I Special Summon another "Synchronized Arsonist"(LV5/FIRE/Pyro/Tuner/ATK/1500 DEF/500) Now I'm tuning my "Arsonist"(LV5) with my "Brambles"(LV6) to Synchro Summon "Synchronized Mentalist"(LV11/LIGHT/Psychic/Synchro/Tuner/ATK/2800 DEF/2800) Now I activate the effects of my "Synchronized" monsters. "Arsonist" inflicts 1500 points of damage to you. (King: LP 1500) And "Brambles" lets me Special Summon 1 "Rose Token"(LV2/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/800 DEF/800) to your side of the field in Attack Position. Now I'm tuning my "Moth"(LV1) with my "Mentalist"(LV11) to Synchro Summon "Synchronized Dragon"(LV12/DARK/Dragon/Synchro/Tuner/ATK/3000 DEF/3000) Now I activate the effects of my "Synchronized" monsters. "Moth" allows me to return 1 Spell or Trap card on the field to the owner's hand, so I can return your "Kingdom - Guards". And "Mentalist"(s) effect lets me draw 3 cards, but I lose 1500 LP. (Link: Hand: 4/ LP 4300) Now "Synchronized Dragon" destroy his "Kingdom - Court Jester". (King counters: I activate the trap "Appearing Moat", so I negate your attack, the Battle Phase ends, and I can activate the "Kingdom - Moat" Continuous Spell from my Deck.) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

 

"Just one more attack and you're finished." said Link. "This might be my easiest win yet."

 

"You're too overconfident." said King. "And that's why... you wil lose."

 

"Yeah right!" yelled Link. "What can you do?"

 

"Just watch." said King.

 

Link/ 3 cards/ LP 4300

King/ 0 cards/ LP 1500

Field: "Reverse-Synchronized Realm"

 

King: Turn 4

I draw. I tribute my "Court Jester" and my "Rose Token" so I can summon "Kingdom - King"(LV7/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2550 DEF/1650) I'm sorry, but this is the end. (Link says: Like I said, what can you do?!) Have you forgotten about my "Kingdom - Artilery" Spell? (Link says: Uh... AW MAN!! I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!) That is why I said you will lose. I activate "Kingdom - Artilery", so you take a total of 6450 points of damage. (Link says: THIS CAN'T BE!!!!!!!!!)

 

Link: LP 0/ Defeated

King: LP 1500/ Winner

 

"And the winner is... the Kingdom - King!" yelled the announcer.

 

The crowd cheered and roared, while Link was lying on his back and his face looking all messed up.

 

"I.... Lost." said Link. "And this was my first match. How could I lose? I noted every card known to Duel Monsters and came up with strategies to beat them, so how could I lose my first match?!"

 

Then Nick, Madeline, and Malcolm came in.

 

"Because you were too full of yourself." said Nick.

 

"Huh?" said Link.

 

"You kept ranting on about you winning and getting all the glory that you lost sight of the Duel and you lost your chance to win." said Malcolm. "That's what led you to this."

 

Link got up and took a moment of silence to think about what he did.

 

"Aw man. You're right." said Link. "Guys, I'm sorry for the way I acted. I was just excited about entering this tournament and I let the urge to win get the better of me."

 

"Don't worry about it." said Nick. "Alright, let's get you back to the rest area, because, my goodness, you look horrible."

 

"Heh, heh, heh." laughed Link.

 

Meanwhile where King is...

 

"Well done, King." said the Emperor.

 

"When will our time to strike come, your majesty?" asked King.

 

"Patience." said the Emperor. "We'll strike as soon as our friend tells us it's time. Isn't that right... Wiraq?"

 

Wiraq came out of the shadows and appeared in front of Team Ultimate Kingdom, without Malcolm or Madeline.

 

"Indeed, I will." said Wiraq. "And soon, the entire Duel Monster Realm will bow at our knees."

 

"I'm going now." said a voice.

 

"Don't lose on me, Makayla." said Wiraq. "After all, you are facing one of the Signers."

 

"That little girl won't stand a chance." said Makayla as she walked out to the arena.

 

"Alright! Our next competitors are one our Signers from Team Satellite, Miss Luna! And from Team Dark Signer, the one who bears the mark of the Hummingbird, Makayla Sharpton!" yelled the announcer.

 

Nick looked back and saw Makayla in her Dark Signer outfit and looked in her cold, Black, Dark Signer eyes.

 

("Makayla." thought Nick. "How did this happen? You're own sister is watching you about to Duel as a Dark Signer and yet you just stand there and look as if nothing mattered to you at all. Since you're facing Luna, you'll probably call upon your mark. And if that happens, Luna... Please bring her back.")

 

Luna walked up to the arena where Makayla is at, then Makayla called upon a circle of purple flame.

 

("Oh no!" thought Luna. "She didn't put us in her Earthbound Immortals mark. Now what?")

 

"Are you duelists ready?" asked the announcer.

 

"Yes." said Makayla looking angry. ("After I'm done with you, I'm going after my true target." thought Makayla.)

 

Makayla looked off behind Luna and looked at Nick.

 

("Nick." thought Makayla angrily. "I'll make you pay for what you did.")

 

"Yes, I'm ready." said Luna.

 

"Alright!" yelled the announcer. "Duel..... Start!"

 

"Let's Duel!" yelled Luna and Makayla.

 

Card of the Day: "Kingdom - Artilery"

 

 

Link's overreactive head got the better of him when he lost, but in the end, he learned a valuable lesson. Anyways, it looks like Team Ultimate Kingdom and Team Dark Signer are plotting together to see the destruction of Neo Domino and soon the whole entire Duel Monster Realm will be at stake. "Next Chapter"! It's Luna versus Makayla in a Shadow Duel between Signer and Dark Signer, but it looks like one of them will lose and I fear it won't be the person you were hoping to lose. Will Luna make it out alive, or will Makayla's dark powers overwhelm Luna? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!

[ragnarok1945]

impressive start, can't wait to see how the rest of the chap will turn out

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 45 is finished. Please read and comment.

[ragnarok1945]

pfffft. The being too full of yourself concept is getting too old now, but at least the duel turned out intense to compensate

[Mysty]

The duel is quite good. I should have expected Link's failure. At least the Kingdom gets at least 1 win in this tournament.

[ragnarok1945]

Yeah but it's a shame Link won't change his ways

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 46 everyone. Enjoy.

 

[spoiler=Chapter 46]Luna/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

Makayla/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Luna: Turn 1

I draw. I summon "Sunlight Unicorn"(LV4/LIGHT/Beast/Effect/ATK/1800 DEF/1000) Now I activate her effect, once per turn, I can reveal the top card of my Deck and if it is an Equip Spell Card, I can add it to my hand, but if it's not, it goes to the bottom of my Deck. (flips over card) So I add "Horn of the Unicorn" to my hand. And now I equip "Horn of the Unicorn" to "Sunlight Unicorn", which gives her 700 ATK & DEF. (1800 + 700 = 2500 ATK/ 1000 + 700 = 1700 DEF) Now I play 2 cards face-down and end my turn.

 

"Luna's doing good so far." said Yusei.

 

"Let's just hope she'll be alright." said Nick

 

Nick looked at Leo's face looking all worried.

 

("Luna." thought Leo. "Be careful.")

 

Then Nick looked at Rachel sitting right beside him. She looked sad and upset to see her sister dueling for the bad team.

 

("Makayla." thought Rachel. "I finally found you, but... I didn't want to find you like this.")

 

Luna/ 3 cards/ LP 8000

Makayla/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Makayla: Turn 2

I draw. I summon "Dark Thorn - Chrysalis"(LV1/EARTH/Insect/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/0) Now I play the Continuous Spell "Phase Change", when this card is activated, once per turn, I can choose 1 of the 5 phases of a turn and start from there, so I choose my Draw Phase, so I draw 1 card. (Makayla: Hand: 5) And since it's my Standby Phase, "Dark Thorn - Chrysalis" gains 1 Dark Thorn Counter. (DTC: 1) Now I activate "Phase Change" again and go back to my Draw Phase and draw 1 card. (Makayla: Hand: 6) And "Dark Thorn - Chrysalis" gains another Dark Thorn Counter. (DTC: 2) Now I'll activate "Phase Change"(s) effect one more time. (Makayla: Hand: 7/ "Dark Thorn - Chrysalis": DTC: 3) Now I play the spell "Double Summon", so I summon "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly"(LV4/EARTH/Insect/Effect/ATK/1700 DEF/1000) I play 3 cards face-down and end my turn.

 

"So she's also a Plant-type and Insect-type Duelist." said Akiza.

 

"Those Dark Thorn Counters might be trouble." said Yusei. "I just hope Luna can figure out her strategy."

 

"Of course she will." said Leo. "I know Luna more than anyone, so of course she's gonna figure it out."

 

Luna/ 3 cards/ LP 8000

Makayla/ 2 cards/ LP 8000

 

Luna: Turn 3

I draw. I play the spell "Double Summon", so I can summon twice this turn, so I summon "Dreamsprite"(LV2/LIGHT/Plant/Effect/ATK/300 DEF/200) and "Sunny Pixie"(LV1/LIGHT/Fairy/Tuner/ATK/300 DEF/400) Now "Sunlight Unicorn" destroy her "Dark Thorn - Chrysalis". (Makayla counters: I activate the Continuous Trap "Dark Thorn Veil", when this card is activated, this card gains Dark Thorn Counter(s) for each Dark Thorn Counter on the field, so it gains 3. ("Dark Thorn Veil": DTC: 3) And by removing 1 Dark Thorn Counter (DTC: 2) I can negate your attack.) I activate the trap "Fairy Wind", when this card is activated I can destroy all face-up Spell or Trap Cards on the field and we both take damage equal to the number of Spell or Trap Cards destroyed x300. (Makayla counters: I activate my second face-down, "Black Plantation", when this card is activated, I can negate the effects of a number of your Spell & Trap Cards and destroy them equal to the number of "Dark Thorn" monsters I control, so I negate and destroy your "Horn of the Unicorn" and your "Fairy Wind", which means my "Dark Thorn Veil"(s) effect takes place, so your attack is negated.) (Luna thinks: Oh no! She's really good. Now what do I do? I can't break her free since we're not dueling inside her Earthbound Immortals mark and she'll be able to inflict real damage to me next turn if I don't do something.) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

 

Luna/ 0 cards/ LP 8000

Makayla/ 2 cards/ LP 8000

 

Makayla: Turn 4

I draw. (Makayla thinks: Finally!) Since it's my Standby Phase, "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" gets a Dark Thorn Counter. (DTC: 1) Now I play the Field Spell "Dark Thorn Garden". While it's on the field, "Dark Thorn" monsters gain 100 ATK for each Dark Thorn Counter on the field, so "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" gains 400 ATK. (1700 + 400 = 2100 ATK) Now I activate "Phase Change", so I can switch back to my Draw Phase and draw 1 card. (Makayla: Hand: 3) And "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" gains another Dark Thorn Counter and 100 ATK. (DTC: 2/ 2100 + 100 = 2200 ATK) I'll activate it one more time. (Makayla: Hand: 4/ "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly": DTC: 3/ 2200 + 100 = 2300 ATK) Now I'll activate the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (Makayla: Hand: 5) Now I'll activate the 2 Continuous Spells "Dark Thorn Plantation" and "Dark Thorn Multiplication". Then I activate my other face-down, the Continuous Spell "Dark Thorn Growth". Now here's how this works. "Dark Thorn Growth" increases the ATK & DEF of all "Dark Thorn" monsters by 100 for each Dark Thorn Counter on the field, so "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" gains 600 ATK & DEF. (2300 + 600 = 2900 ATK/ 1000 + 600 = 1600 DEF) "Dark Thorn Multiplication"(s) effect allows me to Special Summon 1 "Dark Thorn Token"(LV1/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/0 DEF/0) for each "Dark Thorn" monster I control once per turn, so I Special Summon 2 "Dark Thorn Token"(s)(LV1/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/0 DEF/0) "Dark Thorn Plantation"(s) effect places 2 Dark Thorn Counter(s) on each "Dark Thorn" monster on the field during each of my Standby Phases, so by activating "Phase Change" again, it'll do just that. (Makayla: Hand: 4/ "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly": DTC: 5/ 2900 + 400 = 3300 ATK/ 1600 + 400 = 2000 DEF) (Luna thinks: She completely maxed her monster out.) Now I activate the effect of my "Dark Thorn - Chrysalis", by tributing it, I can Special Summon 1 "Dark Thorn - Butterfly"(LV4/EARTH/Insect/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1400) from my Deck. Though it may lower "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly"(s) ATK & DEF, (3300 - 600 = 2700 ATK/ 2000 - 300 = 1700 DEF) "Dark Thorn Growth" still increases "Dark Thorn - Butterfly"(s) ATK & DEF along with effect of "Dark Thorn Garden". (1600 + 500 + 500 = 2600 ATK/ 1400 + 500 = 1900 DEF) Now by tributing my 2 "Dark Thorn Token"(s), I can summon my great beast. (Luna thinks: Here it comes.) Come forth! "Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu"(LV10/DARK/Winged-Beast/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2500) Now "Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu" attack her directly. (Luna counters: I activate the trap "Dimensional Prison", when this card is activated, the attacking monster is removed from play.) Fool! "Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu"(s) effect activates when it's removed from the field. (Luna says: Oh no!) When "Aslla Piscu" is removed from the field, all of your monsters are destroyed and you take 800 points of damage for each one, so say goodbye to 2400 of you LP. (Luna: AAAAAAHHH!!!/ LP 5400)

 

"Luna!" yelled Leo.

 

"Yusei!" said Nick.

 

"Right! Let's go!" said Yusei as him and Nick hurried to the arena.

 

Luna/ 0 cards/ LP 5400

Makayla/ 3 cards/ LP 8000

Field: "Dark Thorn Garden"

 

Makayla: Turn 4 (cont.)

But the fun doesn't stop there. "Dark Thorn - Butterfly" attack her directly! (Luna: AAAAAAAHH!!!/ LP 2800) (Luna thinks: Even if she attacks me with her "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly", I'll still have LP left.) Now "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" attack her directly! Now I activate its effect. (Luna thinks: What?!) During my Battle Phase, once per turn, I can select 1 "Dark Thorn" monster on the field and this card gains 300 ATK during damage calculation for each Dark Thorn Counter on it, so I choose "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" and since it has 5 Dark Thorn Counter(s) on it, he gains 1500 ATK. (2700 + 1500 = 4200 ATK)

 

"Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" charged at Luna for the final attack until Luna let out with a yell...

 

"HELP ME!!!!!" screamed Luna.

 

Then Nick and Yusei came in and Yusei used his Signer powers to get them through the fire. Yusei held Luna to protect her and Nick let out with a yell...

 

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" yelled Nick as he raised his left arm.

 

He called upon his power of the Chaos Realm to his Left arm and punched back "Dark Thorn - Dragonfly" straight for Makayla. Makayla looked scared and traumatized when it came at her. Lucky for her, it completely missed and hit the wall of purple flames, but the outcome of the Duel was still accurate.

 

Luna: LP 0/ Defeated

Makayla: LP 8000/ Winner

 

The monsters and cards disappeared along with the circle of purple flame. And the announcer was scared stiff, but he had no choice but to call out the winner.

 

"And.... the winner is.... (sighs)... Makayla Sharpton." said the announcer all scared.

 

The crowd watched in silence as they saw what happened. Yusei carried Luna back to the rest area while Nick and Makayla remained as they stared at each other.

 

"You're lucky your monster missed you." said Nick. "I'm angry now, but... I'm also glad you're alive as well."

 

Makayla's eyes widened when she heard him.

 

"Why are you showing me sympathy?!" asked Makayla. "Don't you hate me for what I've done to your little friend?!"

 

"True, I hated you for what you've done to Luna." said Nick. "But the reason I said I'm glad you're alive is because I don't know how I could forgive myself if something happened to you while your sister is worrying about you!"

 

Makayla's eyes looked bleak when she heard Nick. She then turned away and said.

 

"Let her be worried." said Makayla. "And that Signer girl wasn't my enemy."

 

"What do you mean by that?!" yelled Nick as Makayla stopped and turned back.

 

"I'm only gonna say this once." said Makayla. "Nick Cunningham. You are my enemy."

 

Nick eyes looked furious after hearing her say that as walked away.

 

("Makayla." thought Nick. "I swear.... I will bring you and all the others back! Even if it costs me my life! And that's why...")

 

("And that's why..." thought Makayla as she looked back.)

 

("I will defeat you!" thought Nick and Makayla.)

 

Card of the Day: "Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu"

 

 

Luna suffered lots of damage when she lost. And Nick and Makayla thoughts were clear as night when both thought, "I will defeat you!". This truly was the most painful part of our story. "Next Chapter"! Akiza is now up against the Kingdom - Queen of Team Ultimate Kingdom. The question is, will her plants and Black Rose Dragon prove victorius, or will the Kingdom - Queen's army prove to be worthy of winning? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!

[ragnarok1945]

oh great, a psychopathic duelist who takes pleasure in hurting other people. You see those only 90% of the time these days

[Haou Devil 12]

Okay first, she's not psychopathic. The thing controlling her is psychopathic. Second, why is that every time I write something different in my chapters that you've seen before, you always make some smart remark about it?

[ragnarok1945]

well then the controller is only typical to see these days in tournies

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 47 everyone. Enjoy.

 

[spoiler=Chapter 47]Luna had some rest woke up later and Leo was right beside her the whole time sleeping.

 

("Leo." thought Luna. "Thanks for being here for me. But I couldn't return Makayla back to her old-self. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything Nick.")

 

Nick then walks in.

 

"You okay?" asked Nick.

 

"Yeah, I'm fine." said Luna looking all depressed. "Nick, I'm..."

 

"Don't worry about it." said Nick. "We're just glad you're all right."

 

Then the announcer came up on the screen.

 

"Alright." said the announcer still trembling. "After that traumatic Duel, we can move on to the next match. It's Team Satellite's Signer, Akiza Izinski versus from Team Ultimate Kingdom, the Kingdom - Queen."

 

"So Akiza is up next." said Luna. "I hope she does her best."

 

"Don't worry, she will." said Nick.

 

Akiza and the Kingdom - Queen walked out to the arena.

 

"Are our Duelists ready?" asked the announcer.

 

"Ready." said Akiza.

 

"As am I." said Queen.

 

"Okay!" said the announcer. "Duel...... Start!"

 

Duel!

Akiza/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

Queen/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Akiza: Turn 1

I draw. I play the Field Spell "Black Garden". Next, I set 1 monster and 2 cards face-down and end my turn.

 

Akiza/ 2 cards/ LP 8000

Queen/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Queen: Turn 2

I draw. I summon "Kingdom - Mounted Knight"(LV4/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1200) (Akiza counters: Now "Black Garden" activates, when you Normal Summon or Special Summon a monster, its ATK get halved. (1600 - 800 = 800 ATK) And a "Rose Token"(LV2/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/800 DEF/800) gets Special Summoned to my field.) Now I activate his effect, when this card is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 "Kingdom" monster from my hand, so I Special Summon "Kingdom - Queen"(LV7/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2450 DEF/1600) (Akiza counters: Now her ATK are halved (2450 - 1225 = 1225 ATK) and another "Rose Token"(LV2/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/800 DEF/800) for me.) Next, I play the spell "Double Summon", so I can Normal Summon again, so I summon "Kingdom - Jester's Assistant"(LV1/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/1900) And since its ATK are 0, your "Black Garden"(s) effect doesn't activate. Now his effect activates, when this card is summoned, I can Special Summon "Kingdom - Court Jester"(LV1/EARTH/Warrior/Tuner/ATK/300 DEF/300) from my Deck. (Akiza counters: Now "Black Garden" activates. (300 - 150 = 150 ATK) Now my third "Rose Token"(LV2/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/800 DEF/800) Now I'm tuning my "Court Jester"(LV1) with my "Jester's Assistant"(LV1) and my "Mounted Knight"(LV4) to Synchro Summon "Kingdom - Royal Castle Guard"(LV6/EARTH/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2500) (Akiza counters: I activate "Black Garden"(s) effect one more time. (2500 - 1250 = 1250 ATK) Come, my fourth "Rose Token"(LV2/DARK/Plant/Token/ATK/800 DEF/800) Now "Kingdom - Queen" attack her face-down. (Flips: "Hedge Guard"(LV3/EARTH/Plant/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/2100) (Queen: LP 7125) Now "Kingdom - Royal Castle Guard" destroy her first "Rose Token". (Akiza: LP 7550) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

 

"Alright, Akiza has all she needs for her summon." said Nick. "And she has another strategy within her strategy."

 

"What do you mean?" asked Luna.

 

"You'll see." said Nick.

 

Akiza/ 2 cards/ LP 7550

Akiza: Turn 3

I draw. I summon "Rose, Warrior of Revenge"(LV4/FIRE/Warrior/Tuner/ATK/1600 DEF/600) Now I'm tuning my "Rose, Warrior of Revenge"(LV4) with my "Hedge Guard"(LV3). "Chilling Flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Show yourself! "Black Rose Dragon"(LV7/FIRE/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1800) Now I activate my dragon's effect, when she's Synchro Summoned, all cards on the field are destroyed. Now "Black Garden"(s) effect activates, when it's destroyed all Plant-type monsters on the field and I can Special Summon 1 monster from my Graveyard with ATK equal to the total ATK of the destroyed Plant-type monsters and since the total ATK of my "Rose Token"(s) was 2400, I can revive "Black Rose Dragon"(LV7/FIRE/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1800) Now I equip "Thorn of Hatred" to "Black Rose Dragon", which means she gets 600 extra ATK. (2400 + 600 = 3000 ATK) Now "Black Rose Dragon" attack her directly. (Queen: LP 4150) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

Now I activate the effect of "Kingdom - Guards", once per turn, I can destroy 1 face-up monster on the field, so I destroy your "Black Rose Dragon". (Akiza counters: I activate the trap "Synchro Spirits", so I remove "Black Rose Dragon" from my Graveyard and Special Summon back the Material Monsters, so I Special Summon "Rose, Warrior of Revenge"(LV4/FIRE/Warrior/Tuner/ATK/1600 DEF/600) in Attack Position and "Hedge Guard"(LV3/EARTH/Plant/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/2100) in Defense Position.) Now I play the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (Queen: Hand: 2) Next, I play another "Pot of Greed", so I can draw 2 more cards. (Queen: Hand: 3) Now I summon another "Kingdom - Mounted Knight"(LV4/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1200) Now I activate his effect, so I Special Summon "Kingdom - Princess"(LV5/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2100 DEF/2100) Now I play the spell "Level Draw", by paying 500 LP (Queen: LP 1650) I can select 1 monster on the field and draw cards from my Deck equal to half the level of the selected monster, so I choose "Kingdom - Princess", so I draw 2 cards. (Queen: Hand: 2) Now I activate my "Kingdom - Princess"(s) effect, by removing 1 card from my hand from play, I can regain half the LP I lost this turn. (Queen: Hand: 0/ LP 2900) Now I activate the card I just removed from play known as "Kingdom Rush", when this card is activated when I removed it from my hand, I can activate as many "Kingdom" Continuous Spells from my Deck, ignoring the conditions, so I activate "Kingdom - Castle", "Kingdom - Moat", "Kingdom - City", and "Kingdom - Royal Family". (Akiza thinks: 4 "Kingdom" Continuous Spells on 1 turn?!) Now I activate the Field Spell "Ultimate Kingdom!"

 

"Our mom actually did it." said Madeline.

 

"She brought out "Ultimate Kingdom!"." said Malcolm.

 

Akiza/ 0 cards/ LP 7550

Queen/ 0 cards/ LP 2900

Field: "Ultimate Kingdom!"

 

Queen: Turn 4 (cont.)

Now I activate "Ultimate Kingdom!"(s) effect, when this card is activated, I can Special Summon "Hidden Archfiend in the Kingdom"(LV8/EARTH/Fiend/Effect/ATK/3900 DEF/3500) (Akiza thinks: Whoa! That monster is giant.) Now I activate the effect of "Kingdom - Guards", so I destroy your "Hedge Guard". (Akiza thinks: No!) Now "Hidden Archfiend in the Kingdom" destroy her "Rose, Warrior of Revenge". (Akiza: LP 5250) Now "Kingdom - Princess" attack her directly. (Akiza: LP 3150) Now "Kingdom - Mounted Knight" attack her directly! (Akiza: LP 1550) I end my turn.

 

Meanwhile in Luna's room...

 

"Oh no! Akiza's gonna lose." said Luna.

 

"No she's not." said Nick.

 

"What do you mean?" asked Luna.

 

"Queen activated "Kingdom Rush" and everyone in the Ultimate Kingdom dimension knows that if you activate "Kingdom Rush", you lose during your opponent's Standby Phase." said Nick.

 

Akiza/ 0 cards/ LP 1550

Queen/ 0 cards/ LP 2900

Field: "Ultimate Kingdom!"

 

Akiza: Turn 5

I draw! (Standby Phase) Huh?

 

Akiza: LP 1550/ Winner

Queen: LP 2900/ Defeated by card effect.

 

"And the winner is.... Akiza Izinski!" yelled the announcer.

 

The crowd cheered for Akiza.

 

("She knew that card would cause her to lose, but she played it anyway." thought Akiza. "Maybe she wanted to show me what Team Ultimate Kingdom's true power was. It helped, since she summoned that giant fiend monster.")

 

Meanwhile after Queen walked off the stage...

 

"I'm sorry your majesty, but it was the only way I could get past her defense." said Queen.

 

"No need." said the Emperor.

 

"Yes, it does seem like Akiza has learned enough of what your team can do." said Wiraq. "You're up next, Mark. Don't disappoint me."

 

"I won't, Master Wiraq." said Mark.

 

Meanwhile in the rest area...

 

"Good job, Akiza." said Crow.

 

"Thanks." said Akiza.

 

"Well, it looks like I'm up." said Yusei. "Wish me luck."

 

"Go get 'em Yusei!" yelled Crow as Yusei walked out to the arena.

 

"Alright!" yelled the announcer. "We're almost nearing the end of the first round of the tournament. Just 6 more matches to go and here we are with our next match against the leader of the Signers, Yusei Fudo and the on who holds the Giant birthmark from Team Dark Signer, Mark."

 

Mark formed a ring of purple flame around him and Yusei.

 

"What's wrong? Afraid of forming your Earthbound Immortals mark around us?" asked Yusei.

 

"I admit you are a formidable opponent, but I'm saving it for my true target." said Mark. "Now are we going to Duel or keep talking?"

 

They both readied their Duel Disks.

 

"Okay!" yelled the announcer. "Duel....... Start!"

 

"Let's Duel!" yelled Yusei and Mark.

 

Card of the Day: "Kingdom Rush"

 

 

Akiza won and also witnessed the true power of Team Ultimate Kingdom. Now It's Yusei's turn against the Dark Signers, but this may be his last. "Next Chapter"! Yusei and Mark are in a dead-heat match, but Yusei is the one on the verge of losing thanks to Mark's Beatdown strategy. Will Yusei prevail like he always does, or will Mark score another win for his team? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!

[ragnarok1945]

too short right now, I'll wait until you finish before I review it

[Mysty]

At least Turn 2 is up. Haou Devil forgot about the Black Garden activating at every summon though.

[ragnarok1945]

true, but I look for the WHOLE thing before trying to review

[Haou Devil 12]

Look, I'm sorry I haven't been on lately. And I'm sorry about forgetting "Black Garden"(s) effect. Anyways, I've been having Internet troubles at home. I've been using my mom's work computer, but ever since she got it fixed, I haven't been able to get on yugioh-wikia to look up Akiza's cards. My mom's work station blocked it out and she can't do anything about it. So I'm stuck trying to guess what card's Akiza uses just to get by. Anyway, I'll notify you guys when the chapter is done, alright?

[ragnarok1945]

of course. If you continue to have net problems, you can also post this at school

[Haou Devil 12]

Not from where I'm from. My school's website blocks out website that are (sarcastic) unessecary (not sarcastic) for school.

[Mysty]

Not from where I'm from. My school's website blocks out website that are (sarcastic) unnecessary (not sarcastic) for school.

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 47 is finished. (quote: THANK YOU!!) Please read and comment.

[ragnarok1945]

I'll expect Mark to be in for a serious drubbing for this duel

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 48 everyone. Enjoy.

 

[spoiler=Chapter 48]Yusei/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

Mark/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Yusei: Turn 1

I draw. I play the spell "Graceful Charity", so I draw 3 cards. (Yusei: Hand: 8) And discard 2. (Yusei: Hand: 6) Next, I summon "Junk Synchron"(LV3/DARK/Warrior/Tuner/ATK/1300 DEF/500) Now I activate his effect, when he's Normal Summoned successfully, I can Special Summon 1 LV2 or lower monster from my Graveyard, so I Special Summon "Speed Warrior"(LV2/WIND/Warrior/Effect/ATK/900 DEF/800) Now I'm tuning my "Junk Synchron"(LV3) and my "Speed Warrior"(LV2) to Synchro Summon "Junk Warrior"(LV5/DARK/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK/2300 DEF/1300) I play 2 card face-down and end my turn.

 

("Now let's see what this Dark Signer has for us." thought Yusei.)

 

Yusei/ 3 cards/ LP 8000

Mark/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

 

Mark: Turn 2

I draw. I play the Field Spell "Shadow Dimension". (Yusei thinks: I can barely see anything.) Next, I summon "Shadow Beast - Dread Bat"(LV3/DARK/Winged-Beast/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/400) And thanks to "Shadow Dimension", all "Shadow Beast" monsters gain 800 ATK. (1200 + 800 = 2000 ATK) Now I activate its effect, once per turn, I can send 2 "Shadow Beast" monsters from my Deck to my Graveyard. Now I play the spell "Shadow Roar", when this card is activated, I can destroy a number of cards on your field equal to the number of "Shadow Beast" monsters in my Graveyard and since there's 2, I can destroy your "Junk Warrior" and your right face-down. (Yusei says: No!) Now I play the spell "Return of the Beast", when this card is activated, by paying 1000 LP (Mark: LP 7000) I can Special Summon LV4 or higher "Shadow Beast" monster from my Graveyard, so I Special Summon "Shadow Beast - Malicious Rhino"(LV7/DARK/Beast/Effect/ATK/2200 DEF/1400) And "Shadow Dimension" powers him up. (2200 + 800 = 3000 ATK) Now "Shadow Beast - Dread Bat" attack him directly. (Yusei counters: I may not be able to see where it's attacking, but I do know I can negate its attack. I activate the trap "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", I can negate the attack of one of your monsters once per turn, then it re-sets itself.) In that case, "Shadow Beast - Malicious Rhino" attack him directly. (Yusei: AAAAAHHH!!!/ LP 5000) I end my turn. Now I activate the effect of my "Shadow Beast - Dread Bat", if it activated its effect this turn, I can send it to the Graveyard and Special Summon 1 "Shadow Beast" monster from my Graveyard, so I Special Summon "Shadow Beast - Silent Snake"(LV6/EARTH/Reptile/Effect/ATK/2100 DEF/1200) And "Shadow Dimension" powers it up. (2100 + 800 = 2900 ATK)

 

("That attack was... unbelievable." thought Yusei. "And for it to have so much ATK. And if the first monster had that much ATK, then the second monster might be the same. In any case, I either have to stay on the defensive or go on the offensive.) "My turn!" yelled Yusei.

 

Yusei/ 3 cards/ LP 5000

Mark/ 2 cards/ LP 8000

Field: "Shadow Dimension"

 

Yusei: Turn 3

I draw. I play the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (Yusei: Hand: 5) Next, I play another "Pot of Greed", so I can draw 2 more cards. (Yusei: Hand: 6) Since you control monsters, while I don't, I can Special Summon "Level Warrior"(LV3/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/ATK/300 DEF/600) And since he was Special Summoned, his level is treated as LV4. (3 + 1 = LV4) Next, I play the spell "Cost Down", by discarding "Quillbolt Hedgehog"(LV2/EARTH/Machine/Effect/ATK/800 DEF/800) from my hand, I can des=crease the levels of all monsters in my hand by 2. Now I summon "Road Synchron"(LV2/LIGHT/Machine/Tuner/ATK/1600 DEF/800) And since a Tuner Monster was summoned, I can Special Summon "Quillbolt Hedgehog"(LV2/EARTH/Machine/Effect/ATK/800 DEF/800) from my Graveyard. Now I'm tuning "Road Synchron"(LV2) with my "Level Warrior"(LV4) and "Quillbolt Hedgehog"(LV2). "Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon!" Synchro Summon! Ride on! "Road Warrior"(LV8/LIGHT/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK/3000 DEF/1500) Now I activate his effect, once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 LV2 or lower Warrior-type or Machine-type monster from my Deck, so I Special Summon "Turbo Booster"(LV1/EARTH/Machine/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/0) Now I play the Continuous Spell "Domino Effect" and equip "Road Warrior" with "Junk Barrage" Now "Road Warrior" attack his "Shadow Beast - Silent Snake". (Mark: LP 7900) Now "Junk Barrage" activates, so you take damage equal to half your monsters original ATK. (Mark: LP 6850) Now "Domino Effect" activates, when a monster you control is destroyed as a result of battle, by sending 1 monster I control to the Graveyard, I can destroy another monster on the field, so I send "Turbo Booster" to the Graveyard and destroy your "Shadow Beast - Malicious Rhino". I end my turn.

 

"Not bad, Yusei Fudo." said Mark. "But I've only showed you a sample of what my "Shadow Beast" Deck can do."

 

("Something tells me this might end horribly." thought Yusei.)

 

Yusei/ 0 cards/ LP 5000

Mark/ 2 cards/ LP 6850

Field: "Shadow Dimension"

 

Mark: Turn 4

I draw. Since it's my Standby Phase, "Shadow Dimension"(s) effect activates, if a "Shadow Beast" monster was sent to the Graveyard by its own effect, I can Special Summon on my next Standby Phase, so I can revive my "Shadow Beast - Dread Bat"(LV3/DARK/Winged-Beast/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/400) Now I play the spell "Level Draw", by paying 500 LP (Mark: LP 6350) I can select 1 monster on the field and draw cards equal to half the level of the selected monster, so I choose your "Road Warrior", so I draw 4 cards. (Mark: Hand: 6) Now I play the Continuous Spell "Dark Portal", when this card is activated, I can Special Summon 1 DARK monster with 1500 or less ATK from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard, so I Special Summon "D.T. - Shadow Beast - Dark Wasp"(LV9/DARK/Insect/Dark Tuner/ATK/0 DEF/0) from my Deck. Now I play the spell "Offerings of the Shadows", by sending a "Shadow Beast" monster I control to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a number of "Shadow Beast" monsters from my hand or Deck equal to the level of the tributed "Shadow Beast" monster, so I Special Summon from my hand "Shadow Beast - Malice Monkey"(LV3/DARK/Beast/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/1400), "Shadow Beast - Night Hawk"(LV4/DARK/Winged-Beast/Effect/ATK/1500 DEF/1000), and "Shadow Beast - Death Cougar"(LV3/DARK/Beast/Tuner/ATK/1100 DEF/500) (Yusei says: Wait. A Tuner and a Dark Tuner?) As you can see, I'm the only one in the Dark Signers who holds a Synchro and Dark Synchro Monster. That's why I'm one of Master Wiraq's most trusted soldiers. Now I activate another "Level Draw", so I pay another 500 LP (Mark: LP 5850) and select "D.T. - Shadow Beast - Dark Wasp", so I draw 4 cards. (Mark: Hand: 5) Now I activate the effect of my "Shadow Beast - Death Cougar", once per turn, I can increase this card's level by 1. (3 + 1 = LV4) Now I'm tuning my "Death Cougar"(LV4) to my "Night Hawk"(LV4) to Synchro Summon "Shadow Beast - Night Gorilla"(LV8/DARK/Beast/Synchro/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2400) And "Shadow Dimension" powers it up. (2500 + 800 = 3300 ATK) Now I'm Dark Tuning my "Dark Wasp"(LV9) with my "Malice Monkey"(LV3). "Darkness shall engulf the world with its black shadow, now begins its destiny of despair!" Dark Synchro! Devour! "Shadow Beast - Ravenous Shark"(LV-6/DARK/Fish/Dark Synchro/Effect/ATK/2550 DEF/1200) And "Shadow Dimension" powers it up too. (2550 + 800 = 3350 ATK) Now I summon "Double Coston"(LV4/DARK/Fiend/Effect/ATK/1700 DEF/1650) Now I play the spell "Double Summon", so I can summon again, so I tribute "Double Coston". And thanks to its effect that it is treated as 2 tributes to Tribute Summon a DARK monster, it's enough to summon my great beast. Come forth! "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu"(LV10/DARK/Fiend/Effect/ATK/3000 DEF/2500) Now "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu" attack him directly. (Yusei counters: I activate "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", so your attack is negated.) Then I shall continue the onslaught with "Shadow Beast - Night Gorilla" destroying your "Road Warrior". (Yusei: LP 4700) Now "Shadow Beast - Ravenous Shark" attack him directly! (Yusei: AAAAAAGHH!!!/ LP 1350) I end my turn.

 

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughed Mark. "Despair and Die, Yusei Fudo!"

 

("If I don't think of something now, I'm done." thought Yusei. "I guess it all depends on my last draw.")

 

Yusei/ 0 cards/ LP 1350

Mark/ 1 card/ LP 5850

Field: "Shadow Dimension"

 

Yusei: Turn 5

I draw. (looks at card) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

 

Yusei/ 0 cards/ LP 1350

Mark/ 1 card/ LP 5850

Field: "Shadow Dimension"

 

Mark: Turn 6

I draw. This is the end. Now "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu" END THIS!!! (Yusei counters: I activate the trap "Mirror Force". Now all of your Attack Position monsters are destroyed.) NOOOOOO!!! (Mark thinks: I don't have anything in my hand to summon.) I... end my turn.

 

Yusei/ 0 cards/ LP 1350

Mark/ 2 cards/ LP 5850

Field: "Shadow Dimension"

 

Yusei: Turn 7

I draw. Now I'll activate a spell that was given to me by a friend of mine. The Quick-Play Spell "Quick Trap", so I can activate a trap card from my Deck, so I activate another card given to me by my friend. The trap "Pot of Forgiveness", so I can draw 3 cards. (Yusei: Hand: 3) Now I play the spell "Trap Booster", so I can activate "Synchro Spirits" from my hand, so I remove "Road Warrior" from play and Special Summon "Road Synchron"(LV4/LIGHT/Machine/Tuner/ATK/1600 DEF/800), "Level Warrior"(LV3/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/ATK/300 DEF/600), and "Quillbolt Hedgehog"(LV2/EARTH/Machine/Effect/ATK/800 DEF/800) And you're not the only one with a "Level Draw" spell card. So I pay 500 LP (Yusei: LP 850) and select "Road Synchron", so I draw 2 cards. (Yusei: Hand: 2) Now I summon "Nitro Synchron"(LV2/FIRE/Machine/Tuner/ATK/300 DEF/100) Now I'm tuning my "Nitro Synchron"(LV2) with my "Quillbolt Hedgehog"(LV2) and "Level Warrior"(LV3). "Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon!" Synchro Summon! Blaze on! "Nitro Warrior"(LV7/FIRE/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK/2800 DEF/1800) Now "Nitro Synchron"(s) effect activates, since I Synchro Summoned a "Nitro" Synchro Monster, I can draw 1 card. (Yusei: Hand: 2) Now I play the Quick-Play Spell "Battle Tuned", when this card is activated, by removing from play 1 Tuner monster, I can select 1 monster I control and the selected monster gains the ATK of the removed Tuner Monster, so I remove "Junk Synchron" from play and "Nitro Warrior" gains his ATK. (2800 + 1300 = 4100 ATK) And since I activated a Spell Card this turn, "Nitro Warrior" gains 1000 ATK. (4100 + 1000 = 5100 ATK) Now "Road Synchron" attack him directly. (Mark: AAAAHH!!/ LP 4250) Now "Nitro Warrior" finish this with "Dynamite Crunch"! (Mark says: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)

 

Yusei: LP 850/ Winner

Mark: LP 0/ Defeated

 

The circle of purple flame dispersed.

 

"And the winner is... YUSEI FUDO!!" yelled the announcer.

 

The crowd roared and cheered.

 

"Mark. Are you... you?" asked Yusei.

 

"Don't think the war between Signers and Dark Signers are over." said Mark. "The Earthbound Immortals shall rule this realm!" said Mark as he walked out of the arena.

 

("Don't get too confident, kid." thought Yusei. "As long as the Signers and their friends are here, we'll protect this city with our lives.")

 

Card of the Day: "Nitro Warrior"

 

 

Yusei won his Duel in the shadows, but the animosity of the Dark Signers grows more stronger. "Next Chapter"! It's Jack's turn against another one of the Dark Signers, Alexander. The one with the Spider Birthmark. But the result will end tragically. Will Jack stand up to the challenge, or will he fall to his doom? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!

Cool chapter. Also, how big is this tournament? In other words, how many teams are there and who are all the members of each team?

[Haou Devil 12]

The tournament is not that big. And I already explained what the teams are and who is on them on Page 20-Post #387.
