"That's really bad, Jack can attack Akiza next turn and if he brings back his Earthbound Immortal she'll lose." Zone said nervously.

"Maybe, but I have a feeling this duel isn't going to end the way you expect." Yusei said confidently.

"I hope you're right, I really hope you're right." Zone said quietly.

Akiza 3600 Jack 1600: "It's my move Jack, so first I switch Black Rose Dragon into defense mode, and next I'll set one card facedown." Akiza said. "That ends my move."

"A simplistic move, but it won't help you." Jack said with a smirk. "It's my move so I'll play the card you saw coming, Monster Reborn to bring back Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu."

This is it, I only hope my idea manages to take out the last of his life points, Akiza thought.

"Now then, I hate to keep a lady waiting." Jack said. "Aslla Piscu attack Akiza directly."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That was close, Akiza was smart to switch her dragon into defense mode." Zone said.

"Maybe, but that buys her at most one turn." Yusei said. "Akiza needs to win the duel in this move."

"Well all we can do is hope she pulls off a miracle." Zone said nervously.

"I agree, but it's all we can count on at this point." Yusei said.

"Well Akiza, it's been fun but the duel is almost over, so I'll attack your Black Rose Dragon with Red Nova Dragon." Jack said confidently.

"Not so fast, I play a trap card, Rose Shield." Akiza said before Dandylion jumped in front of Red Nova Dragon. "This card forces you to attack all plant type monsters on my field before you attack my dragon, and with Dandylion sent to the graveyard I can summon two fluff tokens to take it's place."

"Alright Akiza, in that case I'll just end my move, but the duels over next round." Jack said calmly.

Akiza 1100 Jack 1600: "I use your field spell to add a card to my hand." Akiza said. "Next I set one final card facedown and end my turn."

"That was disappointing, your last turn was anticlimactic Akiza." Jack said. "I suppose I'll end the duel now."

"I play my trap card, Rose Blaze." Akiza said suddenly. "This card requires me to send Black Rose Dragon to my graveyard, and in exchange I can destroy one card on the field."

"What are you planning Akiza?" Jack asked calmly.

"I destroy Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu." Akiza said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Awesome, with that Immortal sent to the graveyard Akiza's safe." Zone said. "She just might turn this duel around after all."

"No, Akiza just cost herself 1600 points." Yusei said. "This is bad."

"What, but why would she do that?" Zone asked. "She just gave Jack the victory."

Wait a second, I get it nice move Akiza, Yusei thought. "Don't worry, everything is going exactly like she wants."

"I hope you're right." Zone said.

"Akiza, I know you wanted to destroy my Earthbound Immortal, but there's a price for that, now every monster you control is destroyed and for each one you lose 800 life points." Jack said. "With two fluff tokens that's 1600 points of damage."

"Exactly, just enough." Akiza said calmly. "I activate my other facedown card, Nature's Reflection. This card reflects the damage from your effect and deals it to you instead."

"Wait, are you serious?" Jack asked. "Not bad Akiza, looks like I've got two people to take down now."

"Not bad, you managed to win the first duel." the KotN said while a black orb surrounded Jack and lifted him into the air. "This will protect him from the effects of the other Immortals during our battle."

"So once we beat the seven remaining dark signers you'll leave and they'll be safe." Yusei said.

"Of course, we agreed on that did we not." the KotN said calmly.

"In that case I'll go next." Yusei said.

"Interesting, well in that case why don't we have you duel him." the KotN said as another of the hooded figures stepped forward.

"We haven't dueled in some time Yusei." Crow said with a grin. "This should give me a chance to test my backup."

"I agree, but you aren't the only one with an extra deck Crow." Yusei said.

"That sounds fun, well may the best duelist win." Crow said calmly.

"Let's duel." said Yusei and Crow simultaneously.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Good Luck Yusei, the other's won't be easy to beat." Jack said. "Especially that girl, I don't know if anyone can take down her two ultimate monsters."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What do you think they plan on using?" Zone asked.

"I don't know, but whatever it is we need to hope that Yusei manages to win." Akiza said.

"Yeah, you're right." Zone said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yusei 4000 Crow 4000: "I'll take the first move Crow, so I'll start by setting one monster in defense mode, and next I'll play three cards facedown to end my turn." Yusei said. "It's your move Crow."

"Not bad Yusei, but the duel is just getting started." Crow said. "I start by playing two of my own cards facedown, and next I'll summon Harpie Lady #2 in attack mode." Crow said. "Now I'll attack your facedown monster."

"Not bad Crow, but the duel is far from over." Yusei said.

"We'll see Yusei, I end my move." Crow said calmly.

"It's my turn, so I'll summon Blast Magician in attack mode, and next I'll attack your Harpie with my magician." Yusei said.

"I play the Aerial Maneuvers trap card." Crow said. "Thanks to this, both my Harpie and my life points are safe."

"Alright, in that case I'll end my turn." Yusei said calmly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This is bad, if Crow has what I think he has Yusei's in a bad spot." Zone said nervously.

"I know, Harpie decks are powerful normally and with Crow using them who knows how this duel will turn out." Akiza said.

"Well, I only hope Yusei can find a way to win." Zone said nervously.

(Akiza managed to defeat Jack, and now Yusei is dueling Crow. Next chapter the duel will continue. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
