Yu-Gi-Oh! : Skyward Duel!

Duel! - The Rivals Clash!

In a future where Duel Monsters is still as popular as ever, new ways to play the game have been introduced, Duel Runners are obsolete so corporations have decided that the air is next to be conquered by the popular card game, prepare for Stratos Duel's!

The MC's voice bellows over the tannoy trying to drown out the screams of thousands!

"Welcome duel fans to the Saber Dome! the Stratos Duel championships are almost over, the final Duel is set, our champion Saber Daniels Vs. last years challenger and former champion Joey Torrent, duelists, take your place on your DuelBoards and prepare for take-off!"

"Well Joey, back again? i hope you have another rare monster for me to take from you! heheh"

"Listen Saber, ill win this time, ill make it interesting for ya, if i win i take your entire deck...if YOU win...ill give you my DuelBoard!"

Saber baulks at Joey's initial offer, but no matter how skilled a duelist he was, Joeys DuelBoard was state of the art and handled much better than his own.

"Hmm...your on!"

Before the Duel begins the MC makes another address to the crowd.

"Duel lovers, for you experts the next 5 minutes will be very boring for you, however for any aspiring Duelist watching! i must explain the rules of the Stratos Duel's!"

Rules

Each Duelist begins with 4000 LP.

Duelists use Hoverboards better known as "DuelBoards".

A normal deck of 40 cards or more is used.

A separate deck known as a Turbo Monster Deck (15-Card Limit) is also used and that's were it gets interesting..

Every time a monster is summoned the Duelist summoning it gains 1 Turbo Counter.

The maximum amount of Turbo Counters you can earn is 12.

Now look at this example card: Sky Fortress Golem (700/1900), it has 3 Turbo Counters on it, not stars like on the other monsters in your normal deck.

You cannot Summon a Turbo Monster on the same turn you summoned a monster from your Normal Deck and vice versa, However it is possible to summon a Turbo Monster if you Special Summoned a Normal Monster the same turn e.g. by effect of "Monster Reborn"

You cannot use Turbo Monsters for a sacrifice.

Turbo Monsters Cannot be sent to the Graveyard, they are removed from the game if they are destroyed so remember to make use of the 15-card limit of your Turbo Monster Deck!

Now i know what your thinking "What makes these monsters so special?" well these monsters have all kinds of special powers so don't knock' em till you see' em in action!

That's enough blabbering from me so lets get started!

3...2...1...DUUUUEEELLLLL!

The 2 DuelBoards rose at least 200 feet into the air and then...WHOOSH!...took off at high speed and began circling the arena, the fans began screaming at the top of their lungs!

The Duel

"Ill begin if you don't mind Saber..."

"Hmph...not at all, not like it'll change anything hahaha"

"Grrr...you'll regret ever insulting me!...I summon the Kaiser Swordsman! (1900/900) then ill place 1 card face down and end my turn"

Joey's Swordsman appeared below the DuelBoards awaiting Saber's counter...

"I summon Metal Material Giant in defense mode (500/2100) then ill play 2 cards face down...you're move loser!"

A circle lights up on both duelists Duel Disk, this keeps track of how many Turbo Counters they have.

"Defending on the first turn Saber? how dissapointing!...I activate the magic card Soul Enhancement, i pay 500 LP (4000-3500) an increase my Kaiser Swordsman's ATK by that amount (1900-2400) now my swordsman attack his Giant!"

The Swordsman lunged forward ready to strike but Saber couldn't help but smile

"Activate trap Mystic Portal of Doom, this card blocks your attack and destroys your monster, but he'll return in 2 turns"

"No...you'll pay!...i place a monster face-down and end my turn"

"I summon Winged Lion Guardian Beast in attack mode (1750/1100) attack his face down monster!"

Joey can't help but wince as his monster is destroyed

"Then ill place a card face down and end my turn"

"Hmm...my move Saber! and ill summon my Dark Lightning Mage in attack mode (1800/1300) now attack his Winged Lion!"

A bolt of dark energy shoots down and destroys Saber's Winged Lion (4000-3950)

"I'll end my turn with a face-down, your move "champ" hehehe"

"Ok...i sacrifice Metal Material Giant, in order to summon Red Gearoid! (2600/2600)"

"How did you summon a lvl.7 monster with 1 sacrifice?"

"My Giant can be used as 2 tributes if im summoning another Machine to the field!...so Gearoid attack!"

Red Gearoids attack leaves no trace of Joey's mage (3500-2700)

"You really should be trying harder, Joey, ive lost just 50 LP and now one of my best monsters is on the field, and thanks to his special ability, i gain a turbo counter if i destroy one of your monsters in attack mode so i have 4 to your 3"

"Now its time to turn it up a notch, i summon Eternal Ooze in Defence Mode (800/1600) and a card face down, now Kaiser Swordsman Returns to me in Defence Mode, your move Saber"

Saber looks at his Turbo Deck, but quickly turns his attention back to his hand.

"Come forth Gear Box Soldier! in attack mode (900/1100) he gains 400 ATK poins for every other machine monster on the field (900-1300) now my machines attack Kaiser Swordsman and Eternal Ooze!"

The Kaiser Swordsman is destroyed by Gear Box Soldier with ease, but Red Gearoid is having difficulty.

"What..the?..."

"My Ooze's special effect, i discard a card from my hand and i absorb your monster...and all of its abilities!...plus half its ATK hahaha! (800-2100) now its my turn and i summon Axe Dragon in attack mode (1800/400)...Eternal Ooze attack his pathetic Gear Box Soldier! (3950-2750) now Axe Dragon attack him directly (2750-950) ill stop the torment for now, but next turn YOU LOSE!"

"I'm afraid you've already lost this duel Joey, i activate all 3 of my face down cards, the first is Revival of the Fittest, it brings back any monster iv'e lost with the highest ATK, return to me Red Gearoid! (2600/2600) your Ooze's ATK returns to 800! then i activate Limiter Removal, doubling Red Gearoid's ATK (5200/2600) then the 3rd and final face-down Dust Barrage Hurricane, which destroys all face-down cards on your side of the field"

"You forget Saber, attack me with your Gearoid and all i have to do is discard 1 card and absorb your monster, thanks to Eternal Ooze's ability, now lets see if you got what it takes!"

"Oh we'll see all right, i use up all 5 of my Turbo Counters to summon Booster Knight! (2200/1900) now i activate his special ability, all effect monsters on your side of the field cannot activate on the turn my knight is summoned!"

"Noooooo!"

"Oh yes, Booster Knight! attack Eternal Ooze! (2700-1300) and now Red Gearoid! blast his Axe-Dragon right into the Graveyard!"

"Urghhh...THIS ISN'T OVER SABERRRRRRR!" (1300-0)
