"Let's duel!" said Cloudy Kicks and Twilight.
Cloudy Kicks LP: 4000
Twilight LP: 4000
Turn 1: Twilight
"I'll make the first move," said Twilight. "I set a monster and place three cards face down. That ends my turn."
Turn 2: Cloudy Kicks
"I play U.A. Stadium," said Cloudy. "Now if a U.A. monster is normal summoned, I can take another U.A. monster from my deck and add it to my hand. I summon U.A. Midfielder in attack mode! Now I'll use my Stadium's effect and add U.A. Goalkeeper to my hand. Then I'll special summon him to the field in attack mode by returning my Midfielder to my hand. By the way, my Stadium has another effect. When a U.A. is special summoned, all my U.A. monsters gain 500 ATK points." (U.A. Goalkeeper ATK: 1000 – 1500) "Next I'll equip him with the U.A. Powered Jersey! It gives 1000 extra ATK and DEF points, and the ability to inflict piercing damage." (U.A. Goalkeeper ATK: 1500 – 2500/DEF: 2800 – 3800) "And here's the best part, if he destroys a monster in battle, he can attack again."
"Woah," said Twilight. "That's not good."
"No it isn't," said Cloudy. "Now I play Shield and Sword to switch his points." (U.A. Goalkeeper ATK: 2500 – 3800/DEF: 3800 – 2500) "U.A. goalkeeper, attack her face down monster!" The face down monster was Hydrogeddon. (3800 – 1000 = 2800)
"Shoot!" said Twilight.
Cloudy Kicks LP: 4000
Twilight LP: 1200
"One more left," said Cloudy. "Goalkeeper, attack!"
"I activate my trap!" said Twilight. "Defense Draw! Not only is your damage blocked, but I also get to draw a card."
"Oh well," said Cloudy. "I'll score victory in my next turn. I place two cards face down and end my turn." (U.A. Goalkeeper ATK: 3800 – 2000/DEF: 2000 – 3800) "Now if she manages to get past my Goalkeeper, I'll be ready. With No Entry, I can block her attacks, and with Solomon's Lawbook, I can skip my standby phase, so my Goalkeeper can stay on the field. She's done for."
Turn 3: Twilight
"My turn!" said Twilight. "I play Bonding - D2O! Now I can send one Oxygeddon and two Duoterions from my hand to the graveyard and special summon Water Dragon Cluster from my deck! Plus, when he's special summoned, I can negate your monster's effects, and reduce his ATK power to 0 until the end of the turn!"
"Then it's a good I have this!" said Cloudy. "The trap, No Entry! It switches every monster on the field into defense mode. Guess your dragon will have to wait."
"Not quite," said Twilight. "I activate my dragon's other effect. By sending him to the grave, I can special summon two original Water Dragons from my deck to the field in defense mode. Then I'll activate Final Attack Orders to switch all our monsters back to attack mode. Finally, I'll activate Bonding – DHO! Now by returning one Duoterion, Hydrogeddon, and Oxygeddon to my deck, I can special summon another Water Dragon Cluster!"
"Dang it!" said Cloudy.
"Now you know why four heads are better than two," said Twi. "Water Dragons, flood the field!"
"No!" cried Cloudy.
Cloudy Kicks LP: 0
Twilight LP: 1200
"Duel!" said Hard Hat and Sunset.
Sunset LP: 4000
Hard Hat LP: 4000
Turn 1: Sunset
"I'll go first," said Sunset. "I summon Rose, the warrior of Revenge in attack mode. I place one card face down and end my turn. I'd like to see him get past my Blazing Mirror Force."
Turn 2: Hard Hat
"My turn then," said Hard Hat. "I play Soul of the Pure, then I'll chain it with Emergency Provisions, then I'll chain it with Chain Summoning! Now I gain 1800 life points, and I can summon three monsters."
Sunset LP: 4000
Hard Hat LP: 5800
"Wonderful," said Sunset.
"Yes it is, for me anyway," said Hard Hat. "Now I summon Drillroid, Drillago, and Jumbo Drill. Now for my Jumbo Drill's effect, he can increase the levels of all my machine monsters by 1." (Drillroid Level: 4 – 5) (Drillago Level: 4 – 5) (Jumbo Drill Level: 4 – 5) "Now I will overlay them all to Xyz summon Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry!"
"That's some machine ya got there," said Sunset.
"Thanks," said Hard Hat. "But you ain't seen nothing yet. I activate his effect! By using one overlay unit, I can send the top three cards of your deck to the graveyard. And if there are any monsters among those three cards, I can destroy cards on your side equal to the number of monsters I sent."
"Oh boy," said Sunset as she discarded three cards. (Copycat, Trans, the Magical Swordsman, and Stop Defense)
"I see there where two monsters huh?" asked Hard Hat. "And, you've only got two cards on the field. So say bye-bye to both of them."
"Crud!" said Sunset.
"Now Digvorzhak, attack her directly!" ordered Hard Hat.
"Ah!" cried Sunset.
Sunset LP: 800
Hard Hat LP: 5800
"Guess I'll take a lunch break and end my turn," said Hard Hat as he bit into a sandwich.
Turn 3: Sunset
"Okay, my turn," said Sunset. "Yes! I play Raigeki, which destroys all your monsters!"
"What?!" asked Hard Hat, coughing on his sandwich.
"Now I'll construct some monsters of my own," said Sunset. "I summon Goblindbergh and I'll use his effect to special summon Bri Synchron! Now I'll tune them together to Synchro summon Hot Red Dragon Archfiend! Plus, when I use Bri Synchron to Synchro summon a monster, he gains 600 ATK points." (Hot Red Dragon Archfiend ATK: 3000 – 3600) "Now I'll remove Hyper Synchron and Breaker the Magical Warrior to special summon Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning!"
"Oh no," breathed Hard Hat.
"Now my monsters, attack him directly!" ordered Sunset.
"Dang it!" yelled Hard Hat.
Sunset LP: 800
Hard Hat LP: 0
"Let's get it on!" said Rainbow and Steamer.
Rainbow LP: 4000
Steamer LP: 4000
Turn 1: Rainbow
"Ladies first!" said Rainbow. "I draw! I summon Emerald Tortoise in defense mode. I place card one card face down and end my turn."
Turn 2: Steamer
"Cool, I draw!" said Steamer. "I activate the field spell, Revolving Switchyard! With this spell, I can send a card from my hand to the graveyard, and add a level ten monster to my hand, like Heavy Freight Train Derricrane. But first, I summon Night Express Knight in attack mode."
"How can you summon a level ten monster?" asked Rainbow.
"With his effect," answered Steamer. "I have to reduce his ATK and DEF to zero, but it's worth it." (Night Express Knight ATK: 3000 – 0/DEF: 3000 – 0) "And since a level ten monster was summoned, I can special summon my Heavy Freight Train to the field by halving its own ATK and DEF." (Heavy Freight Train Derricrane ATK: 2800 – 1400/DEF: 2000 – 1000) "Now I shall overlay them to Xyz summon, Number 81 Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora! All aboard!"
"Woah," said Rainbow. "That's a heck of a train."
"Thanks," said Steamer. "Now I activate its effect, by using one overlay unit, it can't affected by other cards effects this turn."
"NO!" thought Rainbow. "Now my Dimensional Prison trap is useless."
"Now I activate Tribute to the Doomed," continued Steamer. "By discarding one card, I can destroy your Tortoise."
"Actually, he goes into my spell zone," said Rainbow.
"Same deal, he's out the way," said Steamer. "Now my Super Dora will attack you directly!"
"Ah!" cried Rainbow.
Rainbow LP: 4000
Steamer LP: 800
"I end my turn with a face down," said Steamer.
Rainbow 3: Rainbow
"Then it's my turn," said Rainbow. "I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down card." (Rare Metalmorph) "Now since you have a monster and I don't, I can special summon Level Warrior as a level four monster." (Level Warrior level: 3 – 4) "Next, I'll summon Jet Synchron so I can tune him with my Level Warrior to Synchro summon Jet Warrior! And when he's summoned, I can return a card on your field to your hand, and I choose your Super Dora!"
"No!" cried Streamer.
"Next, I play Double Attack!" said Rainbow. "By discarding my Rainbow Dragon, my Jet Warrior can hit you twice."
"Yipe," said Steamer.
"Now get to it, Jet Warrior!" ordered Rainbow.
"Looks likes this is my last stop," said Steamer as the attack hit.
Rainbow LP: 0
Steamer LP: 800
"I can't believe I forgot to get tomatoes at the store yesterday," said Fluttershy. "Good think there's a vegetable stand here. Excuse me, Roma. I need a tiny bag of tomatoes, please."
"Sure," said Roma. "That'll be two bucks."
"But last time it was only one dollar," said Fluttershy.
"That was then, this is now," said Roma. "Sorry, it's business, hone."
"Okay," said Fluttershy.
Pinkie Pie then walked over and looked at Roma. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Mindin' my own business," said Roma. "Maybe you should try it."
"Two bucks for tomatoes is outrageous," said Pinkie. "One buck is the right price."
"Well I say its two bucks now," said Roma.
"One buck," said Pinkie.
"Two bucks!" said Roma.
"One buck!" said Pinkie.
"Two bucks!" said Roma.
"One buck!" said Pinkie.
"Two bucks!" said Roma.
"Two bucks!" said Pinkie.
"One buck!" said Roma.
"Two bucks!" said Pinkie.
"One buck!" said Roma.
"I insist!" yelled Pinkie. "Its two bucks or nothing!"
"One buck and that's my final offer!" yelled Roma.
"Have it your way, one buck it is!" said Pinkie.
Roma took the dollar, then realized what she had just done. "Hey!"
"Yeah?" asked Pinkie giggling.
"You tricked me!" said Roma. "I demand my money!"
"But you said it was your final offer," countered Pinkie.
"Fine then!" said Roma. "I see you're a duelist, fortunately, so am I!"
"Cool!" said Pinkie. "Are you in the World Carnival?"
"Yep," answered Roma. "If you win, you can go. If I win, you pay me my money!"
"You got it!" said Pinkie.
"Let's duel!" said the two.
Pinkie LP: 4000
Roma LP: 4000
Turn 1: Roma
"I'm up first!" said Roma. "I set a monster and two cards face down. That's all for me."
Turn 2: Pinkie
"Okay, my turn!" said Pinkie. "I summon Madolche Chouxvalier in attack mode. Now, attack her face down monster!"
"Thanks," said Roma. "That monster was Cherry Inmato, and when he's destroyed, I can special summon up to two Inmato monsters from my deck to the field. I choose Inmato and another Cherry Inmato."
"Something big is coming, isn't it?" asked Pinkie.
"Maybe," said Roma.
"Oh boy, I can't wait to see the big surprise," said Pinkie. "I place one card face down and end my turn."
Turn 3: Roma
"Alright, my turn," said Roma. "I summon Mystic Tomato in attack mode. Then I'll tune him, along with my Inmato and Cherry, to Synchro summon Vermillion Dragon Mech!"
"Woah," said Pinkie.
"Glad you like him," said Roma. "Now I activate his ability. By removing a tuner from my grave, I can destroy one of your cards, so I'll destroy your little horseman."
"Uh-oh," said Pinkie. "Oh, by the way, when my Madolches are destroyed, I can shuffle them back into my deck."
"Looks like you're wide open," said Roma. "So I'll activate my face down Call of the Haunted to bring back my Inmato. Now Vermillion, attack!"
"I activate a trap!" said Pinkie. "Madolchepalooza! Now I can special summon any number of Madolche monsters from my hand to the field. So I'll bring out Madolche Mewfeuille and Madolche Hootcake in defense mode."
"Okay then, I'll my other face down, Ultimate Offering!" said Roma. "Now I can pay 500 life points and summon one additional monster. But I'll pay 1000 so I can summon another Mystic Tomato and a second Inmato! Attack her Madolches!"
Pinkie LP: 4000
Roma LP: 3000
"Once again, I return them to my deck," said Pinkie.
"Don't care," said Roma. "Now Vermillion will attack you directly!"
"Ah!" cried Pinkie.
Pinkie LP: 1300
Roma LP: 3000
"Now I play Dian Keto the Cure Master, so I can regain all my lost points," said Roma. "I end my turn."
Pinkie LP: 1300
Roma LP: 4000
Turn 4 Pinkie
"Okay…" said Pinkie. "I draw! Alright, I equip Nitro unit onto your Dragon Mech!"
"What's that do?" asked Roma.
"If your monster is destroyed in battle, you'll lose life points equal to its original ATK power," said Pinkie.
Roma gasped.
"Now I summon Madolche Messengelato in attack mode," continued Pinkie. "Then I'll activate Riryoku! This cuts the ATK power of your monster in half, and increases the ATK points of my Messengelato by that amount."
"No!" cried Roma. (Vermillion Dragon Mech ATK: 2700 – 1350) (Madolche Messengelato ATK: 1600 – 2950)
"Messengelato, attack that mean old Trash Dragon!" ordered Pinkie.
"Dang!" said Roma.

"Thanks Pinkie," said Fluttershy.
"No problem, Fluttershy," replied Pinkie.
"Let's duel!" said Twilight and Lucky Clover.
Twilight LP: 4000
Lucky Clover LP: 4000
Turn 1: Twilight
"Ladies first," said Twilight as she drew. "I set a monster, then I'll place three cards face down and end my turn."
Turn 2: Lucky Clover
"I'm feeling lucky," said Lucky. "I summon Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast in attack mode. And don't worry, I know his points get cut in half." (Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast ATK: 2800 – 1400/ 2000 – 1000) "But that's still not low enough."
"Huh?" asked Twi.
"This outta help," said Lucky. "The equip spell Darkworld Shackles, and I'm equipping it onto my Dual-Mode Beast." (Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast ATK: 1400 – 100/ 1000 – 100) "Then I activate Machine Duplication on my Dual Mode Beast so I can special summon two more from my deck. Now I'll overlay my three monsters to Xyz summon Number 7: Lucky Straight! And now for his effect, by using one overlay unit, I can roll a die twice. Then I times the number of the higher result by 700 and that becomes his new ATK points until your next end phase."
"Wow," said Twi.
"Okay, here goes!" said Lucky as he rolled the dice. The results were a 1 and a 6. "Oh! And one more thing. If I happen to roll a 1 and 6, I can send all other cards on the field to the graveyard."
Twilight gasped.
"And now, my Lucky Straight gets a little power boost," said Lucky. (Number 7: Lucky Straight ATK: 700 – 4200) "Sorry."
"No, I'm the one who's sorry," said Twi. "For you."
"Huh?" asked Lucky.
"I activate my trap, Dice Try!" said Twilight. "This card negates the effects of any card that requires a dice roll, and destroys it!"
"What?!" cried Lucky.
"I thought I might come across a dice duelist at some point in this tournament," said Twi. "So I placed this card in my deck. After all with over 10,000 duelists in this competition, I knew someone was going to be a gambler."
"Very smart," said Lucky. "I'll just place three cards face down and end my turn."
Turn 3: Twilight
"Very well," said Twi. "I draw."
"Hold up!" said Lucky. "I activate Fire Darts! Since I don't have any cards in my hand, I can roll a die three times. Then you lose life points equal to all my results multiplied by 100. Here goes!" The results were all sixes. "Yes! So you lose 1800!"
"Darn," said Twi.
Twilight LP: 2200
Lucky Clover LP: 4000
"Now I activate my next trap, Sixth Sense!" said Lucky. "Here's how it works, I guess two numbers from 1 to 6. Then you roll a die, if your result is one of the numbers I guessed, I get to draw that many cards. If not, I have to send that many cards from the top of my deck to the grave. I call five and six!"
"Okay," said Twi as she rolled the die. The result was six. "Shoot!"
"Alright!" said Lucky. "Now I get six new cards. But that's not all, now I play my final trap, Dice-nied!"
"What's that do?" asked Twilight.
"It lets me roll a die," answered Lucky. "Every time you special summon a monster, if that monster's level is the same as the result I roll, that monster goes back to your hand."
"Yikes," said Twi. "Guess I'll just have to summon a level seven or higher monster. But first I have to get rid of that trap. I activate Twister! By paying 500 life points, I can destroy your trap!"
Twilight LP: 1700
Lucky Clover LP: 4000
"Not so fast!" said Lucky. "I activate the effect of Herald of Green Light! By discarding him, plus Agido, I can negate the effect of your spell and destroy it."
"Okay," said Twi. "Then I guess I'll play Mystical Space typhoon instead."
"Then I'll just discard another Herald," said Lucky. "Along with another Agido."
"Shoot!" said Twi. "Guess all I can do is reveal my second face down, Royal Degree!"
"I activate the effect of my Purple Herald!" said Lucky. "I discard him and Dice Leveler to negate your trap."
"Okay this is getting ridiculous," said Twi.
"Sorry," said Lucky. "Guess I'm just too lucky."
"Takes more than luck to win," said Twi. "Now I activate my final trap, Bad Aim! When you activate a card effect, I can destroy a card on the field."
"No!" cried Lucky. "My trap!"
"Finally," said Twilight. "Now I summon Magical Scientist in attack mode. Then I'll flip over my face down monster, Re-Cover! Then I'll overlay them together to Xyz summon Number 78: Number Archive!"
"What could you do with a library?" asked Lucky.
"Win this duel," answered Twi. "By using one overlay unit, you have to choose a random card from my extra deck, and if it happens to be a Number Xyz monster with a number between 1 and 99, I can special summon it and use my archive as its overlay unit."
"It can do all that?" asked Lucky.
"Yep," said Twi. "Now which one of my fifteen cards, will you choose?"
"I choose….." said Lucky. "Shoot! I bet she planned this from the beginning. Oh well, with my luck, I won't choose a strong monster, and I'll take her out next turn. I choose your fourteenth card."
"Thanks," said Twilight. "It was Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon!"
"What?!" cried Lucky. "4000 ATK points?!"
"All aimed at you," said Twi. "Dark Matter Dragon, attack!"
"No!" cried Lucky.

And since I have, I can now special summon Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus in defense mode! Then I'll play Book of Taiyou to flip my Herald back face up. Now I'll overlay my two monsters to Xyz summon Number 77 The Seven Sins!"
"I know one of the sins she's guilty of," thought Pipsqueak.
"I end my turn," said Nelly.

(Number 77 The Seven Sins ATK: 4000 – 5000) "Next, I summon Gimmick Puppet Gear Changer! Now, since you two have monsters and I only have one Gimmick Puppet on my side, I can special summon Gimmick Puppet Magnet Doll. Then I'll use my Gear Changer's effect to change its level to the same number as my Magnet Doll." (Gimmick Puppet Gear Changer Level: 1 – 8) "Now I shall overlay both of them to Xyz summon Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!"
"What could that little puppet do against our monsters?" asked Pip.
"Cut them down to size," answered Claude. "Observe, I activate his effect, by using an overlay unit, I can destroy a special summoned monster on the field. And if, it happens to be a Xyz monster, you lose life points equal to its ATK original power."
"What?!" cried Nelly and Pip.
"And I can do this twice per turn," added Claude. "So I'll remove both my units to destroy your monsters and win the duel!"
"No!" cried Pip and Nelly.

Rainbow was rearranging her deck when a challenger approached her.
"So you're the Turbo Queen, huh?" asked A.K. Yearling.
"A.K. Yearling!" cried Rainbow. "Oh my gosh, it is such an honor to meet you and I am suuuuuch a huge fan. Can I please have your autograph?"
"Only if you beat me in a duel," said A.K. "Deal?"
"You bet!" said Rainbow.

(Chronomaly Gordian Knot Level: 3 – 6) "Now I'll overlay my two monsters to Xyz summon Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis!"
"Whoa," said Rainbow. "That is so awesome!"
"Glad you like it," said A.K. "Now I'll activate Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force to overlay Atlandis and bring out a Chaos Xyz monster, Number C6 Chronomaly Chaos Atlandis!"
Rainbow's mouth dropped.
"You think that's jaw dropping? Wait til you see its effect," said A.K. "By removing all three of my monster's overlay units, I can reduce your life points to 100."
"What?!" asked Rainbow.
Rainbow LP: 100
A.K. Yearling LP: 4000
"Yep," said A.K. "Now I activate Chronomaly Pyramid Eye Tablet! This card gives every Chronomaly monster 800 more ATK points."

"Say what?" asked A.K.
"You'll see," said Rainbow. "I activate Future Fusion, and I'll use it to send all seven Crystal Beasts from my deck to the graveyard. Then in two turns, a new fusion monster will be summoned, the Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Over Dragon!"
"Sounds intense," said A.K.
"It is," said Rainbow. "By why wait? I play Dragon's Mirror to summon it right now! Say hello to my new and improved dragon!" A large majestic dragon appeared out if a rainbow vortex.
"Wow," said A.K.
"Here's the best part," said Rainbow. "I can tribute him, and send all cards on the field back to our decks."
"You're kidding, right?" asked A.K. "Seriously, you're joking right?!"
"Nope," said Rainbow as all the cards disappeared.
"Wonderful," said A.K.
"Yes it is," said Rainbow. "And that was all just a fusion summon. Now I summon Marauding Captain and I'll use his effect to special summon Hyper Synchron.

"Yes!" cried Rainbow.
"Let's duel!" said Flip and Fluttershy.
Fluttershy LP: 4000
Flip LP: 4000
"May I go first, Miss Shy?" asked Flip.
"Of course," said Fluttershy.
Turn 1: Flip
"Why thank you very much," said Flip. "I'll place a monster in face down defense mode and two cards face down. Finally, I'll activate Burden of the Mighty. That's all for now." His hand contained Porcupine Fish and Flipangutan.
Turn 2: Fluttershy
"My turn, I draw," said Fluttershy. "Finally, a chance to test out my new cards. I play Giant Trunade to return all your spells and traps back to your hand."
"Aw man!" thought Flip.
"Now that it's all clear, I summon Swallowtail Butterspy in attack mode," said Fluttershy. "Now I can special summon Blue Mountain Butterspy as well. Then I'll overlay them to Xyz summon Photon Papilloperative! Now for her effect, by using an overlay unit, I can flip your monster face up, then it loses 600 ATK points."
"Uh-oh," said Flip. The face down monster was Chewbone. (Chewbone ATK: 300 – 0) "Now you get three Chewbone Jr. Tokens on your side."
"I see," said Fluttershy. "Now I'll just activate Oni-Gami Combo. This lets me remove all the overlay units from my monster, then she can attack twice this turn."
Flip gasped.
"I'm really sorry about this," said Fluttershy. "But my wish is to get a big donation for the animal shelter. So attack him twice, Photon Papilloperative!"
"Ah!" cried Flip.

"Let's duel!" said Sunset and Star Tracker.
Sunset LP: 4000
Star Tracker LP: 4000
Turn 1: Sunset
"Ladies first," said Sunset. "I summon Spirit Reaper in defense mode. Then I'll place two cards face down and end my turn."
Turn 2: Star
"Here goes," said Star as he drew. "Since I have no monsters on the field, I can special summon Solar Wind Jammer." (Solar Wind Jammer ATK/DEF: 800/2400 – 400/1200) "Then I'll normal summon Planet Pathfinder. Now I can activate Tannhauser Gate, which combines my monster's two levels together and raise them both to that combined number." (Planet Pathfinder Level: 4 – 9) (Solar Wind Jammer Level: 5 – 9) "Now I'll overlay these two to Xyz summon Number 9 Dyson Sphere!"
"It that… a sun?" asked Sunset.
"No. It's a space station," answered Star. "But it's about to get bigger."
"Bigger?" asked Sunset.
"Oh yeah," said Star. "I activate Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force to rank up my monster into Number C9 Chaos Dyson Sphere!"
"Yikes," said Sunset.
"Now I equip it with Gravity Blaster," continued Star. "Now every turn, I can increase my monster's points by 400." (Number C9 Chaos Dyson Sphere ATK: 3600 – 4000) "Then I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down on the right. Now Chaos Dyson Sphere, unleash your power on that reaper! Oh, and by the way, whenever my Dyson Sphere attacks a monster, that target becomes an overlay unit for my monster."
"What?!" asked Sunset. "Great."
"Yeah, cool, isn't it?" asked Star. "But my monster also has two more effects."
"Seriously?" asked Sunset.
"Oh yeah," said Star. "First, you lose 300 life points for each one of my Dyson Sphere's overlay units. Which is currently four."
"I activate my Spell!" said Sunset. "Space Cyclone. This detaches one overlay unit from a monster on the field. So I only lose 900 points."
Sunset LP: 3100
Star Tracker LP: 4000
"Good thinking," said Star. "But wait til you hear the last effect. I can remove any number of units form my monster to inflict 800 points of damage to you for each one. So I'll remove all three."
"Shoot," said Sunset.
Sunset LP: 700
Star Tracker LP: 4000
"I end my turn," said Star.
Turn 3: Sunset
"Okay, it's my turn," said Sunset. "First, I'll remove my Spirit Reaper from play, so I can special summon White Dragon Wyverburster. Then I'll normal summon Breaker the Magical Warrior." (Breaker the Magical Warrior ATK: 1600 – 1900) "Since I summoned a level four monster, I can special summon Kagetokage. Now I'll overlay them all to Xyz summon Number 57: Tri-Head Dust Dragon! And when this card is special summoned, I can select a monster on your side, and this card gains ATK power equal to your monster's current ATK points."
"But I only have one monster," said Star.
"That's right," said Sunset. "So my dragon gains 4000 points." (Number 57: Tri-Head Dust Dragon ATK: 100 – 4100) "Finally, I'll play Galaxy Storm. Since your monster has no overlay units, it goes to the graveyard."
"No!" cried Star. "Everything's ruined!"
"Sorry kid," said Sunset. "Now, Tri-Head Dust Dragon! Attack him directly!"
"Ah!" cried Star.
Sunset LP: 700
Star Tracker LP: 0
"Sorry," said Sunset. "But it's only one piece. And that's no reason to give up. Besides, with your skills, I know I'll see you at the finals."
"Wow," said Star. "Thanks."
"Let's duel!" said Applejack and Flash Magnus.
Applejack LP: 4000
Flash Magnus LP: 4000
Turn 1: Applejack
"Okay, I draw!" said AJ. "Granny always said, "Take your medicine." So I play Blue Medicine, so I gain 400 life points."
Applejack LP: 4400
Flash Magnus LP: 4000
Magnus raised a brow.
"Now I summon Bull Blader in attack mode," continued AJ. "Then I'll slap a card face down (The Golden Apples) and end my turn."
Turn 2: Magnus
"Cool, I draw!" said Magnus. "Since you have a monster and I don't, I can special summon Heroic Challenger - Assault Halberd. Now I summon Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades. Then I'll use his effect, by discarding a Heroic card from my hand, (Heroic Challenger - Clasp Sword) I can special summon another Heroic monster from my deck. Then my Thousand Blades goes to defense mode. Oh, and the monster I choose was another Thousand Blades. So I'll use his effect to discard Heroic Challenger - War Hammer, and special summon another Thousand Blades. Then I'll discard Heroic Challenger - Night Watchman to special summon Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword."
"Something tells me this ain't good," said AJ.
"You're right about that," said Magnus. "I now overlay all five of my monsters to Xyz summon Number 86: Heroic Champion – Rhongomyniad!"
"Only 1500?" asked AJ.
"Oh don't worry," said Magnus. "I'm not done yet. My Champion gains five effects because he has overlay units."
"Say what?!" asked Applejack.
"Oh yeah," said Magnus. "First, he can't destroyed in battle. Second, he gains 1500 ATK and DEF points." (Number 86: Heroic Champion – Rhongomyniad ATK: 1500 – 3000) "Third, he is unaffected by other cards effects. Fourth, you cannot normal summon or special summon any monsters. Fifth, I can destroy all of your cards."
Applejack's mouth dropped as all her cards disappeared.
"Look on the bright side," said Magnus. "You only lose one heart piece. But I'm sure you'll get another one in your next duel. Rhongomyniad, attack!"
"AH!" cried AJ.
Applejack LP: 400
Flash Magnus LP: 4000
"I place one card face down and end my turn," said Magnus. "Even if she does manage to summon something stronger, my Heroic Retribution Sword trap when give her every single bit of damage, plus my monster can't be destroyed. At least, not for a few turns."
Turn 3: Applejack
"Okey dokey, I draw!" said AJ. "This card reminds me of that comic, Night of the Living Apples. Meteor of Destruction! Now ya'll lose 1000 life points."
"Yikes," said Magnus.
Applejack LP: 3000
Flash Magnus LP: 400
"I place two cards face down and end ma turn," said AJ.
"Well, here's some good news," said Magnus. "Now my warrior loses an overlay unit, so I can't destroy all your cards anymore."
"Well that's a relief," said Applejack.
Turn 4: Magnus
"But now it's my turn!" said Magnus.
"And because it is, I can activate Bad Reaction to Simochi!" said AJ. "Now instead of gaining life points, ya'll will lose em instead. Like this, I activate Tri-and-Guess! Now we both count the number of one type of monsters in our extra decks, and the player with the higher number gains 3000 life points. I choose Xyz monsters."
"I see," said Magnus. "Whoever has more Xyz monsters will lose the duel thanks to your trap. Okay, I have three." (Heroic Champion – Excalibur, Heroic Champion – Gandiva, and Heroic Champion – Kusanagi)
"I have one," said Applejack. (Gagaga Cowboy)
"Well then, I guess I lose," admitted Magnus.
"Yee-ha!" said AJ.
