Once the Hellsing Knights seal the evil Primordial Prophet Dragon cards that cause a catastrophic disaster that almost annihilate the Middle East, the Daesh remnants still controls their capital, Raqqa. Even so, Sir Nosferatu Arucard notices something strange on the deserted city during a cloudy night.
Two strange cloaked riders appears suddenly along the northeast gate of Raqqa, but not take so long to be unnoticed, as along their trail, several Daesh vigilantes was laid down, defeated by those unknown Duelists.
"Oh! Two strong Duelists!", says Arucard, while watches, using their Eye to keep track of them.
A few moments later, when the moonlight casts a shadow along the cloaked duelists, Arucard discoveries the real deal, they are a peculiar form of Duelists: A Riding Duelists using their D-Wheels. But the most intriguing discovery was the fact that the Duelists are… Vladimir Putin, the autocratic President of Russia, and Donald Trump, the new anti-system President of the United States!
"Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, here ?!", says Arucard, while hides their massive dark presence.
The Russian leader feels something beyond any conceivable bad-omen, but turns their attention against his real foe, "The newborn POTUS are really a frightened hypocritical leader, or a hidden dragon slayer waiting for revenge?", asks Putin to Trump.
"If I could choose, I bet the second chance, since your bet was who could arrive first on Raqqa, the infamous capital of the Islamic State."
"And also the home of the strange Pendulum Summon!", Putin grins, even it likes this summoning mechanic.
Suddently, the lights along the main boulevard lights up, and an holographic screen appears in the middle of air. The main black screen change the ISIS flag to a computer generated image, along a cavernous voice: "Welcome to Raqqa! Home of kafirs exterminators!"
"A welcome party to us?!", Putin exclaims, along the Trump remark, "To make the King Duelist great again!"
Few seconds later, both the main screens of Putin's and Trump's D-Wheels turn on, and generate the main warning: "Riding Duel… Start!".
The holographic screen of Raqqa disappears, but the cavernous voice continues, "Two powerful kafirs invaded our homeland! A Duel will start… A Duel will start...", while some advanced mechanic lanes opens above the boulevard ground, and forms a kind of special and protected Duel Lanes. "Oh! ISIS was mastered the technology of the New Domino City ?!" , says Donald, dumbfounded.
"What a marvelous notice! Now we have a real Duel, where the winner will take the main prize to seize control of Raqqa!", Putin exclaims!
Immediately, both D-Wheels change their forms, and shifts to Dueling Mode, as warns, "Auto-Pilot On… Waiting to Sync...", and automatically the D-Wheels rides to the main Duel Lane.
It takes only a few seconds to jump to the main lane, and both duelists inserted their Decks to the Duel Device, and generate an holographic screen where appears the Main Monster Zone, Trap and Magic Zones slots, and a new Extra Monster Zone which cause some strangeness to Putin.
The hidden Master of Ceremonial continues, "Activate the Action Riding Duel Main Magic Card… Golden Millennium Caliphate World", and resumes, "In this riding duel, both duelists can pick a random Action Card along the Main Duel Lane, and activate immediately...", causing Putin to disdain, "Great! I forgot the ISIS strange likeness for Actions Duels!"
"Now start the beta version of Link Action Duel", which makes the two duelists a little worried, "The main duel rules change is the introduction of Link Summon, as both kafirs should enforce it, this means, both of you can only summon a Extra Deck Monster to the Extra Monster Zone, unless you update their Decks to use Link Monsters!", says the MC.
"Nuts! I need to add this new strange cards!", says Putin, while Trump says, "Finally! I can unlock this cards of my Extra Deck..."
"Updating Complete!", appears on both D-Wheels holographic screens.
"Starting Duel… In 10 seconds…, 9…, 8…, 7...", and points to a holographic starting mark.
"It will begin shortly!", says both duelists.
"Link Summon ?!", Arucard while watches the new scenario, speaks, "Interesting..."
The two D-Wheels rides at a top speed of 300 km/h along a huge straight lane, and the MC continues the countdown, "6…, 5…, 4…, 3…, 2…, 1...", and Putin and Trump exclaims, as their known the magic words, "Action Riding Duel! Acceleration!..."
Duel: Trump (LP 8000) vs Putin (LP 8000)
When the Duel starts a flow of Actions Card drops along the Duel Lane, and automatically five cards for each Duelist generates above the new holographic Duel Machine.
Trump gains some advantage and makes a sharp turn to the first lane bend, winning the right to take the first turn.
Turn 1 (Trump)
5 cards on hand, LP 8000
"Ha… Ha… I won the first turn...", and he knows that cannot Draw for now, "I summon the Continuous Trap Card, Dark Leader Hive, and the Continuous Magic Card, Great Leader Sanctuary!"
"What ?! The same card archetype that even al-Baghdadi uses ?! ", exclaims Putin.
"It only uses a few cards of them, not the real Leader Deck!", Trump explains, before resumes, "If Dark Leader Hive and Great Leader Sanctuary was summoned together on the same turn, I can use the first card effect to Special Summon from my Hand, Main Deck or Graveyard one Dark Leader Monster Card of Level 4 of less", and the first monster appears, directly from the Main Deck:
"Jump to the battlefield!", screams Trump, "Dark Leader Servant Minion".
Dark Leader Servant Minion: LV 4/Dark. Normal/Effect 1000 ATK/ 0 DEF
"Now I use the Minion effect...", and makes a swift pause before resumes, "If this monster was special summoned, I can create a Dark Leader Servant Token, with the same Level of Minion, even it won't have neither ATK of DEF.
"Now you have two Level 4 monsters!", Putin makes a fast supposition, and thinks to himself, "Now it will be a Xyz Summon or anything else ?!"
"Finally… I Normal Summon another Level 4 monster...", making Putin a little nervous, "Arise here!", and Trump proclaims, "Dark Leader Servant Shifter !"
Dark Leader Servant Shifter: LV 4/Dark. Normal/Effect 0 ATK/ 0 DEF
"Three Level 4 monsters!", says Putin, "A Xyz Summon with 3 Tributes on your First Turn ?!"
Trump grins, and laughs, "Maybe… maybe not… If you take notice of your real challenger, then..."
"Don't mean you can...", Putin understands quickly want their rival will make.
"I will tribute Dark Leader Servant Shifter, Dark Leader Servant Token, Dark Leader Servant Minion, to make a Link Summon from my Extra Deck!", the Trump's D-Wheel opens a portal which disintegrate the three tributes, and summons a new kind of monster!
"Link Summon!", and appears on the left Extra Monster Slot, from the Trump perspective, "Arise the nebulous savior of a corrupted nation, to give birth to a genius autocrat!", and appears, for the first time, a Link Monster, "Link 3, since it takes three tributes", and announces, "Dark Leader of Enlightenment Tyranny Salazar"
Dark Leader of Enlightenment Tyranny Salazar:
Link 3/Dark. Link Mark: Bottom Left/Bottom/Bottom Right
Types: Dark Tyrant/Link/Effect.
2000 ATK (And Link Monsters don't have DEF!)
"So… that's a Link Monster ?!", Putin notices the new pattern, "So it had a Link Number instead Levels, but have also some bizarre characteristics that breaks the backwards compatibility from previous old Decks", while speaks to himself, "Well, but I don't arrive here unprepared!"
"Since the Link Markers of Salazar points to three own Monster Zones, I can Special Summon form my Extra Deck up to three monsters, using the usual summoning procedures..."
"Very interesting", Putin understands the new rules, "So the Link Monsters acts as support for Fusion/Synchro/Xyz monsters, but also limits the Extra Deck swarming that Daesh mastered so well."
"Now I will use the Graveyard's effect of Shifter !", Trump continues, "By banishing up to three Dark Leader from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Fusion Monster!"
"Now begins a Extra Deck Summon Combo!", Putin waits.
"I have two monsters, since Tokens don't count...", and summons, "I banish Shifter and Minion to make a Fusion Summon!", and makes do so, "Fusion Summon!… Dark Leader of Starving Corruption Stroessner!"
Dark Leader of Starving Corruption Stroessner:
Level 8/Dark. 3000 ATK/ 2500 DEF
Types: Dark Tyrant/Fusion/Effect.
"And I use the special summoning effect of Stroessner!", making Putin double surprised, "I can Special Summon any Level 4 or less Dark Leader Monster from my Graveyard!"
"And you will summon the Minion one!"
"That's right! When Minion was Special Summoned, I can create a Token, as before… But I will use the Great Leader Sanctuary effect, to special summon any Great Leader or Dark Leader monster of my Graveyard, as long those two cards are together, and the Shifter was also revived!"
"A Xyz Summon now ?!", asks Putin.
"First, I will use the Shifter special effect!", Trumps answers joyful of himself, "By destroying Magic or Trap cards I control, I can treat the Shifter as a Tuner Monster, and the Minion will increase their Levels by the number of destroyed Continuous Magic and Trap cards, so it will grow from Level 4 to Level 6!", but also adds, "And when it happens, it can be treated as a double tribute!"
"A Synchro and Xyz Summon!", Putin was genuinely dumbfounded, for the chain of effects.
"Finally… I synchronize the Token, Level 4, and the Shifter, Level 4, to make a...", and makes a little pause, "Synchro Summon!… Dark Leader of Deathly Revolution Fidel!"
Dark Leader of Deathly Revolution Fidel:
Level 8/Dark. 2500 ATK/ 2500 DEF
Types: Dark Warrior/Synchro/Effect.
"First, a right-wing dictator, now a left-wing one ?!", Putin expects some ideology coherence, however, "In fact, Trump don't have any reasoning logic!"
"At least, I build an Overlay Network, of a double self-tributed Minion by own effect", and concludes, "Xyz Summon!… Dark Leader of Bloodshed Usurper Pinochet"
Dark Leader of Bloodshed Usurper Pinochet:
Rank 6/Dark. 2800 ATK/ 2000 DEF
Types: Dark Tyrant/Xyz/Effect.
"Now Stroessner, Fidel and Pinochet are Linked to Salazar, in own Link Zone! This means, for each Special Summoned Dark Leader from Extra Deck, the Salazar ATK will increase 800!"
"Since you summon three of them...", says Putin.
"It will increase from 2000 ATK to 4400 ATK...", and concludes, "And finally, I put the remaining two cards reversed, and end here my turn."
"Two reversed cards… Ahem! What decides the fate of a Duel, is our strategy, not the luck...", Putin knew that could be traps, "Draw..."
Turn 2 (Putin)
6 cards on hand, LP 8000
"If the so-called Link Summon is like this, then...", Putin draw the necessary card, "Then I summon...", causing Trump to disdain, "Shinsengumi Heaven-Style Divine Sword, Level 1, Scale 3… And Shinsengumi Earth-Style Ruler Sword, Level 8, Scale 9", and inserted on the Pendulum Zones, which share two of Magic and Trap Zones slots, "Setting the Pendulum Scale".
"Pendulum Summon ?!", Putin was expecting some Pendulum, but not on adversary's first own turn, "And you use a Shinsengumi Archetype Deck ?!"
"It this current setup, I can Special Summon, any monster from Level 4 to Level 8!"
"Pendulum Summon!", and several monsters materialize from the Pendulum Portal, "Appear here… Two Shinobi Apprentices, both Level 4… And one Honorable Samurai, Level 7"
"A martial Japanese themed Deck ?!", Putin notices, "what's odd."
"And finally, I Normal Summon this Level 1 monster, Heaven Sword Caller", and resumes, after a quick breathing pause, "When this card is Normal Summoned, I can tribute them to Special Summon again from the Graveyard all the remaining cards on my Field, once they are used as a tribute to make any Special Summon!"
"Nuts! Where it comes!", exclaims Trump.
"Since you like Link Monsters...", makes a swift pause, "Then I tribute both all Shinobi and Samurai to do a… Link Summon!", and summon it, "Reborn the true self of Shinsengumi!… Shinsengumi no Tennen Rishin-ryuu Jutsu!"
Shinsengumi no Tennen Rishin-ryuu Jutsu:
Link 3/Dark. Link Mark: Bottom Left/Bottom/Bottom Right
Types: Shinsengumi/Link/Effect.
1000 ATK (Remember that Link Monsters only have ATK)
"And if you remember it", says Putin, "By the Heaven Caller effect, Shinobi and Samurai cards are Special Summoned again to my Monster Zone."
"And you can make our round of Special Summons from your Extra Deck, since your Link monster was enabled it", the Putin's Link Monster was summoned to the other Extra Monster Zone, making both on their left side, and the enemy one on their right side.
"Exactly!", says Putin, overconfident, "I tribute my two Shinobi to create an Overlay Network!...", and appear, "Xyz Summon! Rank 4!… Shinsengumi Captain Tonochi Yoshio!"
Shinsengumi Captain Tonochi Yoshio:
Rank 4/Dark. 2500 ATK/ 2000 DEF
Types: Shinsengumi/Xyz/Effect.
"Now are ancient Japanese warriors!", Trump was also intrigued, due to the fact why a Russian would use a samurai, ninja themed Deck.
"Now I use the Pendulum effect of Heaven Sword !", which cause an overreaction from Trump.
"What ?! But your monsters don't...", but it was replied by an angry Putin, "Shoushi", which means , colloquially, death by fire, or to say a fool and ignorant person.
"I create a token which Level is equal to one Level/Rank or Link from my field, and placed on my Monster Zone!", and make a level 3 token, "And create the Tuner Kiseki Token of Heaven"
"What the hell ?!", Trump notices that Putin, when plays for real, was not kidding!
"Then I tune the Kiseki, Level 3, and Samurai, Level 7...", and concludes with an uproar, "Synchro Summon!… Level 10!… Shinsengumi Captain Kondou Isami"
Shinsengumi Captain Kondou Isami:
Level 10/Dark. 3500 ATK/ 2500 DEF
Types: Shinsengumi/Synchro/Effect.
"Xyz… Synchro… And finally Fusion ?!", exclaims Trump.
"Finally, I use the Pendulum Effect of Earth Sword!… ", and Putin points to the ground, "Once per turn, I can banish up to three monsters from my Graveyard to make a Fusion Summon!", and make it, "So I banish… Kiseki, Level 3, and Samurai, Level 7...", resulting, "Fusion Summon!… Level 7!… Shinsengumi Captain Serizawa Kamo"
Shinsengumi Captain Serizawa Kamo:
Level 7/Dark. 3000 ATK/ 2500 DEF
Types: Shinsengumi/Fusion/Effect.
"Battle!", speaks Putin, "Shinsengumi no Tennen Rishin-ryuu Jutsu, attack Salazar"
"What ?! A 1000 ATK monster against 4400 ATK ?!", however Trump recovers, "However, I activate the effect of Salazar, that is, since I have three Linked Monsters, I can negate up to three times a battle between any of those four monsters!"
"Do you think that I am foul ?", Putin answer maliciously, "Then I use the Jutsu Link effect!", which cause some anxiety to Trump, "When my Link monster controls the three Shinsengumi Captains, when I target an adversary Link monster, and their Linked ones, all of their ATK will drop to… Zero!"
"What ?!", Trump exclaims, "So the second resource effect, which would add their ATK to one of my Linked Monsters are… useless!"
"And also any of your Linked Monsters will be destroyed… Causing 500 LP of penality!"
In a single blow, all Trump monsters was destroyed, and their life drops to 6000 LP.
"And then Serizawa Kamo, Kondou Isami, Tonochi Yoshio… Direct Attack!", which would give an additional 9000 points of damage, ending the duel.
However, Trump receive the first attack, reducing own life to 3000 LP, but at second round, it open one reversed card, "Reverse Card… Open!", and flip it, "Dark Leader Revenge", which add the current monster ATK to own LP, which in practice, maintains at LP 3000.
Even so, Trump receive the third direct attack, ending with only 500 LP.
"At least, you set an emergency option, but you receive too much damage", says Putin, "Turn End!"
At least, Trump maintains a reversed card, but suffer a would-be-OTK, leaving only 500 LP, against an adversary that have a Link Monster, 3 Extra Deck Monsters, and 2 Pendulum monsters on field!
