" A second WRGP? And you want us to enter. You must be joking. " Drake said.
" We should totally enter!" Aero replied. " Me, you, and Sam! The three of us would be unbeatable! Sam! You try to convince him!
" I would, but what if this WRGP ends up being like the first? We all know how well that turned out. The thing turned into a giant mess and that Yusei Fudo fellow had to come save everyone." Sam told Aero.
Drake, Sam, and Aero. Three friends since childhood. Two years after the end of the first WRGP, they came to New Domino City looking for a challenge that they were soon about to find.
" But what are the chances of that happening now? Close to nothing." Aero debated
" He's got a point Drake. This could be the challenge we came to New Domino for."
" Fine, I concede. We'll enter the WRGP, on one condition." Drake said with a grin.
Aero asked the one thing he was afraid of asking. " And what would that be?"
" I get to come up with the Team's name!" he declared.
Sam stood up for his chair. " Fine then. You can come up with the name if it makes you happy. Tomorrow training starts! Let's all meet at the practice course at "
***The next day***
" A three-way duel? Sounds interesting." Drake said.
The three duelists were at the practice course ready to duel.. Sam had come up with the idea of having a three-way duel to practice dueling under tough conditions.
" Everyone ready to start?" Sam asked
" I sure am!" Aero yelled. " This is gonna be great! The three of us haven't dueled together in a while! Regular rules of a Turbo Duel right? First one around the corner gets the first draw! And no one can attack on the first turn"
"Sounds good to me" Drake answered.
" I'm alright with that." Sam agreed.
3…. 2…. 1….
"DUEL!"
The three of them speed off, pushing their Duel Runners to go faster. The three were almost completely tied until….
" The first corner is mine! So I get the first turn!" Drake yelled. " My turn! Draw!"
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 1
Sam: LP – 4000/SPC: 1
Aero: LP – 4000/SPC: 1
"I summon Dragunity Tribus (ATK: 500) in attack position! Then Dragunity Tribus's monster effect activates! When Dragunity Tribus is normal or special summoned I can send a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type from my deck to the grave! I send Dragunity Phalanx! Then I set 2 cards face down and end my turn!"
"My turn!" Sam declared. "Draw!"
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 2
Sam: LP – 4000/SPC: 2
Aero: LP – 4000/SPC: 2
Sam thought for while before doing anything. 'The card that was sent from the deck to the grave was Dragunity Phalanx. When Dragunity Phalanx is equipped to a monster it can special summon it. So that means Drake'll summon something to equip Phalanx too! But in the rules of a three-way duel, no player may declare an attack on their first turn. In that case….'
"I summon Jurrac Stauriko (ATK: 500) in attack position! I'll end my turn!"
"That's all Sam?" Aero asked. "I thought you would drop something more impressive! My turn! Draw!"
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 3
Sam: LP – 4000/SPC: 3
Aero: LP – 4000/SPC: 3
" I summon Genex Undine (ATK: 1200) to the field in attack mode! Genex Undine's effect! By sending a WATER monster from my deck to the grave, I can add a Genex Controller to my hand! I'll send a second Genex Undine to the grave! Now I activate Speed Spell – Tuner Chime! When I have a Tuner in my hand whose level is equal to my Speed Counters, I can special summon it! I summon Genex Controller! (ATK: 1400) Now I tune the Level 3 Genex Undine to the Level 3 Genex Controller!"
The raging waters will be tamed be the controller of the elements! Synchro Summon! Crashing waves, Hydro Genex!
Hydro Genex (ATK: 2300)
" I'll set 2 cards to finish my turn!"
" My turn! Draw!"
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 4
Sam: LP – 4000/SPC: 4
Aero: LP – 4000/SPC: 4
"I summon Dragunity Dux (ATK: 1500) to the field in attack mode! Dragunity Dux's effect activates! When Dux is summoned I can equip it with a Dragunity in my grave! I equip Dragunity Phalanx! Then Dux's next effect kicks in! It gains 200 ATK for each Dragunity on the field! I have three Dragunitys on my field (ATK: 2100)! Now Phalanx's effect activates! When it is equipped to a monster I can special summon it!
Dragunity Phalanx (ATK: 500)
"Now I'm tuning my level 4 Dragunity Dux and my level 1 Dragunity Tribus to my level 2 Dragunity Phalanx!"
In the valley of dragons, the 7 lords reside! Synchro Summon! The Dragon lord of power, Dragunity Knight – Trident!
Dragunity Knight – Trident (ATK: 2400)
" Trident! Attack Jurrac Stauriko! The difference in ATK is 1900!"
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 4
Sam: LP – 2100/SPC: 4
Aero: LP – 4000/SPC: 4
"Seems it worked." Sam said silently. "Drake! You've fallen straight into my trap!"
"What!" Drake seemed surprised.
"When Jurrac Stauriko is destroyed by battle I can summon two 'Jurrac Tokens' (DEF: 0) to field in defense position!"
" I set a card face-down and end my turn!"
"My turn! Draw!" Sam yelled.
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 5
Sam: LP – 2100/SPC: 5
Aero: LP – 4000/SPC: 5
"Drake! Aero! One of my strongest monsters is about to be summoned! This turn one of you will be eliminated from our duel!"
"He must be bluffing!" Aero said confident he was right.
" If I know Sam as well as I think I do, then I know he's dead serious!" Drake yelled back at Aero.
" The titan of prehistoric beasts shall now rise! I tribute both Jurrac Tokens! Appear before me, Jurrac Titano (ATK:3000)!
"Counter Trap activate! Power Break!" Drake yelled, " This card destroys the strongest monster on the opponent's field!"
"Sorry Drake, but Jurrac Titano can't be targeted by the effects of Traps or Effect Monsters! This means the target becomes Aero's Hydro Genex!"
" No way!" Aero exclaimed as Hydro Genex was destroyed, " Damn! Now I don't anything to shield me from an attack!"
"There's more! Jurrac Titano's monster effect activates!"
"You can't be serious!" Drake was amazed. He knew that Sam's Jurracs were some tough monsters, but this kind of power was becoming too much for him to handle.
"By removing a Jurrac in the grave with an ATK of 1700 or less, my Titano gains 1000 ATK! Now I activate the Speed Spell – Shock Force! Until the end phase, Spell & Traps can't be activated! Go! Jurrac Titano attack Aero directly! Tyrant Burst!"
Drake: LP – 4000/SPC: 5
Sam: LP – 2100/SPC: 5
Aero: LP – 0/SPC: 5
"Ahh!" Aero yelled as his life points hit zero, "Awesome Sam! It feels amazing to know we have such a strong duelist on our team!"
"That Aero…" Sam said silently, " Even in defeat he's still able to find the good in things…"
"Sam!" Drake called out, "Its come down to just me and you! The victor will be either my Dragunitys or your Jurracs!
Preview"Sam! This may just be a practice duel, but I won't hold back! Not one bit!"
"I wouldn't expect you to! I'll give it me all, just the way you have Drake!"
"Bring it on Sam! There's nothing you can dish out that I can't take!"
"I wouldn't be so confident if I were you!"
