RIDING DUEL:
Chinami: 8000 LP (VS) Geoffrey: 8000 LP
...
"Ladies first Oniichan!" Chinami chirped as they headed for a corner.
"Only if you can make it around the corner first, Chinami." Geoffrey pointed out to his younger sister as he picked up his pace.
His pinkette sister got a devilish look on her face that she his well as she called out in a sweet tone, "Oh, Oniichan! I LOVE you!" she drawled out, putting emphasis on the dreaded 'L' word. It got the desired effect as Geoffrey immediately lost his focus and began swerving out of control. Chinami giggled madly as she passed him and sped around the corner. "Looks like I'll be starting, Onnichan." She told Geoffrey as he caught up in a too innocent tone.
Geoffrey shot her a dirty look, his face completely flushed. "That was SO not cool and low, sis." He hissed at her with a glare he saved for annoyances and irritating people. In other words, it was a neutral face that clearly said 'I so despise you'.
Chinami giggles worsened as she prepared to draw. "All's far in love in war, you know that, Oniichan. Atashi no turn!" Chinami said as she drew her first card and looked at her hand. Adopting a serious composure, she began the Duel. "Breaker the Magical Warrior, Tsūjõ Shoukan in Attack mode!"
Breaker the Magical Warrior [LV4/DARK/Spellcaster/Effect1600/1000]
"When this monster is Normal Summoned, it gains a Spell Counter, which increases its attack points from 1600 to 1900! I set two cards face down. Turn Shūryou." she finished her turn as the holograms of two set cards briefly appeared beside her before vanishing.
"Then it's my draw then. Ore no turn!" Geoffrey called out as he drew his first card.

Andy, who was boarding alongside the sibling duo, was lost at this time.
"How come both your Speed Counters increased by one?" he asked.
Chinami answered for him. "Due to Speed World 2's effect, both players receive a Speed Counter during every Standby Phase after the first turn. The more Speed Counters one has, the stronger Speed Spells can be played."
Andy nodded in understanding and turned back to watch the Duel unfold just as his best friend began his move.
"Since you control monster(s) and I don't, I can Special Summon this card from my hand. Vice Dragon, Tokushu Shoukan in Defense mode, but its attack and defense points are cut in half when summoned this way." Geoffrey called out as he slapped his card onto his Duel Disc.
Vice Dragon [LV5/DARK/Dragon/Effect/1000/1200]
"Next, I banish Vice Dragon from play in order to Special Summon this next monster. Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Tokushu Shoukan in Attack mode!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon [LV10/DARK/Dragon/Effect/2800/2400]
"And I activate Red-Eyes' effect, allowing me to Special Summon any Dragon from my hand or Graveyard once per turn. Prime Material Dragon, Tokushu Shoukan from my hand in Attack mode!"
Prime Material Dragon [LV6/LIGHT/Dragon/Effect/2400/2000]
"And I'll wrap things up with Mirage Dragon, Tsūjõ Shoukan from my hand in Attack mode!"
Mirage Dragon [LV4/LIGHT/Dragon/Effect/1600/0600]
"BATTLE! Prime Material Dragon, attack Breaker the Magical Warrior! Material Surge!"
"Not so fast, Oniichan! Trap Card, open: Mirror For- HEY! Why isn't my trap card activating!?" Chinami asked in a panicked voice.
"Mirage Dragon's effect prevents you from activating trap card during the battle phase, so tough luck there sis. Prime Material Dragon, finish your attack!" Geoffrey directed his monster.
"Ah!" Chinami cried out as the shockwave of her destroyed monster hit her.
[Chinami LP: 8000 to 7500]
Geoffrey continued his assault. "Mirage Dragon and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, attack her directly! Illusionary Stream and Red Metal Flare!"
Chinami grunted slightly from the attack as her Life Points decreased.
[Chinami LP: 7500 to 3100]
"I set two cards face down. Turn End." he finished his turn as well as two set holograms flickered into sight and disappeared.
"Back to me, Oniichan! Counterattack time! Atashi no turn!" Chinami declared.

"First off, Trap Card open: Reckless Greed, activate! This allows me draw two cards from my Deck, but prevents me from drawing for the next two Draw Phases. Next, Speed Spell - Angel Baton, activate! When I have two or more Speed Counters, this card lets me draw two cards from my deck so long I discard one card from my hand. Next, Speed Spell - Count Up, activate! By discarding two cards from my hand, this spell grants me six more Speed Counters!"
[Chinami SC: 2 to 8]
"Speed Spell - Summon Speeder, activate! This spell allows me to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my hand when I have four or more Speed Counters. Magician's Valkyria, Tokushu Shoukan in Defense mode!"
Magician's Valyria [LV4/LIGHT/Spellcaster/Effect/1600/1800]
"Next I then activate Speed World 2's effect, so by lowering my Speed Counters by 7, I can draw another card from my deck."
[Chinami SC 8 to 1]
Chinami saw her new card and smiled. "Delta Flyer, Tsūjõ Shoukan in Defense mode."
Delta Flyer [LV3/WIND/Dragon/Tuner/1500/0900]
"Then by using Delta Flyer's effect, which allows me to raise the Level of another monster until the End Phase. I raise Magician Valkyria's level from 4 to 5. I now tune my Level 5 'Magician's Valkyria' with my Level 3 Tuner monster: 'Delta Flyer'!" Delta Flyer flew into the air and became three Synchro Level Rings as Magician's Valkyria flew into them and became transparent.
"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Bear witness to its creation shaking power! SHINKURO SHOUKAN!" Magician's Valkyria became five Level Stars as a beam of light erupted through the Level Rings.
"My soul, Red Demon's Dragon in Attack mode!" Chinami said as she completed the Synchro Summoning process and a large red dragon appeared from the light.
Red Demon's Dragon [LV8/DARK/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/3000/2000]
"Oh boy…" Geoffrey shuddered, knowing what was coming next.
"BATTLE! Red Demon's Dragon attack Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon! Absolute Powerforce!"
"Geh!" Geoffrey grimaced as he felt the shockwave of his monster being destroyed.
[Geoffrey LP: 8000 to 7800]
"I set one card face down. Turn Shūryou, Oniichan."
Geoffrey shook his head as he attempted to clear it after the last attack. "Not too shabby sis, but this ends now! Ore no turn!" he told Chinami with a malicious gleam in his eyes as he sees what he had drawn.

"He he he he he…" Geoffrey snickered evilly.
Chinami recognized the snicker as her brother's signature evil laugh he saved for when he was about to win, thus dreaded the answer to her question as she nervously and reluctantly asked, "W-What did you draw, Oniichan?"
Geoffrey just smiled evilly at her, sending a chill down the pinkette's spine. "You're about to find out! First though… Trap Card, open: Double Intake, activate! This card can only be activated when I have over double the amount of Life Points of that of my opponent, then I can cards equal to the difference in Life Points divided by 1000. Since the difference is 4700, I can draw four cards from my deck. Next up… Continuous Trap Card, open: Call of the Haunted, activate! This card allows me to revive a monster from my Graveyard in Attack mode. Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Tokushu Shoukan!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon [LV10/DARK/Dragon/Effect/2800/2400]
"I now play this! Plaguespreader Zombie, Tsūjõ Shoukan in Defense mode!"
Plaguespreader Zombie [LV2/DARK/Zombie/Tuner/0400/0200]
"I now tune my Level 6 'Prime Material Dragon' with my 'Level 2 Tuner monster: 'Plaguespreader Zombie'!" Geoffrey's Tuner monster flew into the air and became two Level Rings as the said dragon flew into them and became transparent.
"Clustering hopes will become a shining new star! Become the path its light shines upon! SHINKURO SHOUKAN!" Prime Material Dragon turned into six Level Stars as a beam of light shot through the Level Rings.
"Take flight, Stardust Dragon in Attack mode!" Geoffrey said as he threw his Synchro monster onto his Duel Disk, prompting a silver dragon to fly out of the holo light.
Stardust Dragon [LV8/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/2500/2000]
"I now activate Red-Eye's effect in order to revive a Dragon from my Graveyard in Attack mode. Prime Material Dragon, Tokushu Shoukan!"
Prime Material Dragon [LV6/LIGHT/Dragon/Effect/2400/2000]
"Next up… Speed Spell - Speed Energy, activate! When I have 2 or more Speed Counters, this spell raises the attack points of one monster by 200 for every Speed Counter I have. Since I have 3 Speed Counters, I now raise Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's ATK points from 2800 to 3400. BATTLE! Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, attack Red Demon's Dragon! Red Metal Flare!"
"Quick-Play Speed Spell – High Speed Crash, activate! When I have 2 or more Speed Counters, I can now destroy one of my cards in order to destroy one of yours! So I destroy my face-down Mirror Force in order to destroy your Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!" countered Chinami with a smug face.
"Not if I can help it Chinami! I activate Stardust Dragon's effect! When you activate a card that can destroy one of mine, I can sacrifice Stardust Dragon in order to negate your card's effect and destroy it all together! Victim Sanctuary!"
"What!?" Chinami squeaked in terror as she saw what was happening on the holographic display before her.
"Now go, Darkness Metal, and finish your attack!"
"Ah!" Chinami cried again as her best monster was destroyed.
[Chinami LP 3100 to 2700]
"Time to wrap things up! Prime Material and Mirage Dragons, attack Chinami directly! Material Surge and Illusionary Stream!"
"Ahhhh!" Chinami cried even louder as the two attacks hit her and her Life Point gauge plummeted downward faster than a sack of lead.
