1 Unrevealed Face Down Trap Card.
Kite says: "I anticipate your strategy and will stop it." Tron replies: 'You don't know what I have in store against you!' Kite then says: "We'll see about that. I use ! Photon Slash on **** Heraldic Beast Monoceros!" Kite puts Photon Slash in his Duel Disk. Tron then says: 'That isn't going to work, Kite! Reveal Trap Card Control Medallion, which destroys your Photon Slash card and allows me to take control of any monster on your side of the field, and I take control of Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon now!' Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon roars angrily. 'I now order that monster to attack Heraldic Beast Monoceros!' Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon attacks as ordered with a light beam from it's mouth. Heraldic Beast Monoceros shatters into what looks like large pieces of glass.
Due to the fact that Tron was controlling another opponent's monster's Attack but not officially making it his own, Tron loses Life Points from this action. Tron: 4,000 - 2,900. Tron then says: 'I use ! Positive Medallion to fix the outcome of losing Life Points significantly. Tron: 2,900 - 3,900.
Tron: 'I now activate the effect of Heraldic Beast Monoceros. After it's destroyed I can declare another Duel Monster on my field to become indestructible, and I choose One-Eyed Skill Gainer!' A blue aura illuminates around One-Eyed Skill Gainer. It is now indestructible, as stated. Kite: "Okay, I put one Trap Card face down on my side of the field (Photon Wall) and end my turn. The boy on the side lines looks onward at the duel.
[Scene Switch - Yuma's Bedroom]
Yuma is sleeping. The Emperor's Key goes off. Astral floats to the window. Yuma senses this and wakes up. "Astral... What are you doing up?! I told you a million times already - I can't help you save the world when I sprained my ankle! Please, Astral-" Astral looks at Yuma and says: 'I know already. I merely had the feeling that something terrible was happening right now, Yuma.' Yuma: "Don't worry- I'll help you out tomorrow morning- I.. swear it..." Yuma puts his pillow over the side of his head and falls back to sleep. Astral looks back into the sky again.

Tron goes next - Life Points at 3,900.
Draw: **** Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise: When on the field, destroy this monster.

Atk: 1,200 / Def: 900 | Attr: Dark / Type: Beast A giant black torotise with some red along the lining of the bottom of it's shell and going across the top of it. Tron says: "I Normal Summon Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise in Attack Mode!" Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise comes to the field as stated. Tron says: "I now destroy Black Tortoise to activate it's Effect - When this card is destroyed I can take any unused Monster you have, and I think I'll choose your Number Mons-" Kite interrupts: 'I activate the Trap Card Photon Wall which cancels any destructive effect.' Photon Wall gets activated and a grid-like wall comes out stopping any destructive effect from occurring. Tron then says: "If you want it that way, then fine - I'll just take your Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon's likeness as my own! One-Eyed Skill Gainer - I use an XYZ Overlay Unit to take the likeness of Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon now!" One-Eyed Skill Gainer receives an XYZ Unit to begin it's Effect. It then puts it's swords together and fires a light purple plasma beam at Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon. It then loses it's form and becomes Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon on the field and in name. Tron says "The downfall of the Faker family begins HERE!" Kite just angrily stares. "My Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon - attack Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!" Kite then says: 'Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon - use your Effect to Banish both monsters from the Field.' Both Duel Monsters warp from the field.
Both Duel Monsters return to their fields at the end of the Battle Phase. Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon returns with 1,000 extra Attack Points for each XYZ Unit the other monster that was banished had on it while One-Eyed Skill Gainer returns to the field as itself rather than as Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon. Heraldic Beast Black Monoceros' Effect remains for One-Eyed Skill Gainer. Tron then ends his turn placing a Trap Card on the field and ending his turn at that.
Kite goes next - Life Points at 4,000.
! Photon Lighthouse - Negate the Effects of the targeted Monster on the opponent's side of the field for 1 turn. The card looks like a lighthouse. The base of it is blue-green while the light at the top is blue. It is seen on an angle in the card. Kite says: "I use Photon Lighthouse on Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise." Photon Lighthouse comes to the field. It shoots its light at Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise. It's Effects were negated. Kite then goes on with an attack: "Now, Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, attack Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise." Tron interrupts: "Reveal Trap Card Confusion Medallion! Now I can reroute your attack to a different monster - One-Eyed Skill Gainer!" One-Eyed Skill Gainer gets attacked but stays on the field due to Heraldic Beast Monoceros' Effect. Tron loses 1,500 Life Points, down to 2,400 Life Points. Photon Lighthouse disappears. Kite: "I end my turn there." The boy watching roots for Tron and hopes he can make a comeback.
Tron goes next - Life Points at 2,400.
Draw: ! Doom Light Medallion - All of your Opponent's Monsters that look into the light turn into stone, have their Attack Points go down to 0, and get Banished rather than go to the Graveyard after being destroyed. The edges are black. The medallion is gold while the center is a red light. Tron says: "I play Doom Light Medallion." The Doom Light Medallion comes to Tron's side of the field. The Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon apparently looked at it, since it turned to stone. Kite says: 'What happened?!' Tron replies: "Your monster has lost all of it's Attack Points. Now is the time for a full frontal assault! Heraldic Beast Black Toitose attack Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!" Heraldic Beast Black Toitose goes in for an attack with it's spinning flying shell onto it's stated target. Tron continues: "Now, One-Eyed Skill Gainer, attack Kite directly!" One-Eyed Skill Gainer attacks Kite directly as stated. Kite loses 2,500 Life Points down to 1,400. Tron: "I end my turn."
Kite goes next - Life Points at 1,400.
Draw: ! Mind Control - Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Take control of it until the End Phase. Kite: "I use Brain Control on Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise." Tron's Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise changes sides. Kite: "Now I use the Effect of Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise by destroying it-" Heraldic Beast Black Tortoise gets destroyed. "-and I bring out ********* Number 95: Galaxy Eyes Dark Matter Dragon. - Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. When this card is Special Summoned: You can banish any number of Dragon-Type monsters from your Deck; banish an equal number of monsters from your opponent's Deck. This card gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of the Xyz Materials attached to it.

When this card battles an opponent's monster: You can banish both the opponent's monster and this card. Atk: 0 / Def: 0 | Attr: Dark / Type: Dragon. Kite: "The monsters I choose are as follows: Photon Delta Wing [+1,800], Photon Pirate [+1,000], Photon Thrasher [+2,100], and Photon Crusher [+2,000]." Tron loses Heraldic Beasts Amphisbaena, Berner's Falcon, Aberconway, & Unicorn. Number 95's Attack Points become 7,000. Kite: "Now, prepare for defeat! Galaxy Eyes Dark Matter Dragon - attack One-Eyed Skill Gainer! Number 95 launches are surge of red and black debris from it's mouth at One-Eyed Skill Gainer. While it can't be destroyed due to the effect of Heraldic Beast Monoceros, Tron loses 4,500 Life Points losing him the duel.
Winner: Kite Tenjo
The force of Number 95: Galaxy Eyes Dark Matter Dragon is so strong it kicks up lots of dust and debris into the air. It was strong enough to toss Tron's mask backwards. The attack stops. Number 95 disappears as Kite Tenjo is officially declared the winner through the Duel Disks. Kite runs forward, looking for Tron. He can't find him. "Tron! Where you?! Tron?! Tron?!" There is nothing but silence. Kite: "Grrr - I don't have time for this!" and Kite takes off in his jet pack's glider mode. The crest platform they were dueling on disappears after that.
The boy watching searches the top area of the tower he is on for the mask. 'That mask has got to be somewhere, right?' From behind him the eye of Tron's mask glows. He sees it from the corner of his eye. He runs to it. 'Yes! This is Tron's mask!' He reaches to pick it up but it floats above him. 'Tron's spirit is still here!' he declares. Tron: "I am here. You have not gone unnoticed by me. Who are you?" The boy says 'I am Kyoji Yagumo, and I play a Spider Deck.' Tron replies: "Yes, you can help me out greatly. Are you ready?" He says: 'Umm, perhaps. How will this work?' Tron: "Ohh, just wear the mask, and I'll do the rest! We're going to get revenge on the Faker Family once and for all - This defeat can be eradicated. I just need your help." Kyogi Yagumo: 'Then you have it!' Tron: "Excellent!" Fragments of Tron's Crest go behind the mask. The mask turns around and Yagumo looks in it. Then the mask goes into his face and Yagumo morphs with Tron.
He slowly gets up. He looks towards where the duel took place. "Now is actually the time to make up for losing. Next time you will see. I will be prepared!" Yagumo waves 2 cards that quickly become Number Monsters - Numbers 35: Ravenous Tarantula and Number 84 Pain Gainer. "I will be prepared next time, Kite! Victory will be mine!"
