DUEL:
GEOFFREY: 4000 LP (VS) XIAO FUNG: 4000 LP
...
"I'll go first! Ore no turn!" Geoffrey shoutedas he drew his card and examined his opening hand before deciding what to do. "Magic Card: Ancient Rules, activate! Thus lets me Special Summon a Level 5 or higher Normal monster from my hand. Seiyaryu, tokushu shoukan in Attack mode!"
Seiyaryu [LV7/LIGHT/Dragon/2500/2300]
"I'll then play this! The White Stone of Legend, tsujou shoukan in Defense mode!"
The White Stone of Legend [LV1/LIGHT/Dragon/Tuner/0300/0250]
"I now tune Level 7 'Seiyaryu' with Level 1 'The White Stone of Legend'!" Geoffrey shouted out as The White Stone of Legend flew into the air and became a single Level Ring. Soon Seiyaryu flew into the air and into the ring as it became seven Level Stars.
"Clustering hopes will become a shining new star! Become the path its light shines upon! Shinkuro Shoukan!" As Geoffrey cried out those last words, a beam of light shot through the Level Ring and enveloping the Level Stars. "Take flight, Stardust Dragon in Attack mode!"
Stardust Dragon [LV8/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/2500/2000]
"Whenever The White Stone of Legend is sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing me to add a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck to my hand. Magic Card: Trade-In, activate! This lets me discard a Level 8 monster like the my Blue-Eyes in order to fraw two cards from my Deck. With that, I set two cards face-down. Turn end."
"Then its my round to go. "Watashi no turn." Xiao Fung drawled out as he drew.

"I'll start things off by discarding a WATER-attribute monster like Fishborg Blaster from my hand, I can Special Summon this from my hand. Swap Frog, tokushu shoukan in Defense mode."
Swap Frog [LV2/WATER/Aqua/Effect/0100/0500]
Geoffrey saw the monster and a sinking feeling entered his stomach. "Ugn, you're running a Frog Monarch Deck, aren't you?" he asked, dreading the answer.
Xiao Fung chuckled at the human's inquiry. "Indeed I am, and you'll soon see my full power without having to enter Stage Two of the battle ritual! I next activate Fishborg Blaster's effect from my Graveyard. Since I control a Level 3 or lower WATER monster, I can discard acard from my hand to Special Summon Blaster to the field. I discard Spawn Frog. Fishborg Blaster, tokushu shoukan in Defense mode!"
Fishborg Blaster [LV1/WATER/Fish/Tuner/0100/0200]
"Magic Card: Double Summon, activate! This Spell allows me an extra Normal Summon this turn. So I release Swap Frog and Fishborg Blaster. Adobansu Shoukan! Mobius the Frost Monarch and Caius the Shadow monarch in Attack mode!"
Mobius the Frost Monarch [LV6/WATER/Aqua/Effect/2400/1000]
Caius the Shadow Monarch [LV6/DARK/Fiend/Effect/2400/1000]
"Oh no…" Geoffrey winced upon seeing the two newly summoned monsters, knowing what was coming.
"Oh, you have no idea what I have in store for you, mortal. But first, Mobius's effect activates when it is Advance Summoned, allowing me to destroy up to two of your Spell and Trap Cards. zso say farewell to your only face-down cards!" At his command, the frosty monster sent out a blizzard towards Geoffrey's face down cards.
The Keyblade wielder countered immediately. "I don't think so! I activate Stardust Dragon's effect! When you activate an effect that would destroy a card or cards on the field, I can release Stardust to negate the activation of that card and destroy it! Go, Victim Sanctuary!"
"Hmph." Xiao Fung grumbled at the loss of one of his monsters. "You may have stopped my Frost Monarch, but I still have Caius, whose effect also activates wen it's Advance Summoned. Caius banishes a card on the field, so I banish your face-down card on the left."
"Damn it..." Geoffrey groaned as his Mirror Force was removed from play.
"BATTLE! Caius, attack this mortal directly! Shadow Force!" the Wind Demon ordered as his monster unleashed a stream of dark energy at the new Keyblade wielder.
"Gah!" Geoffrey yelpedss the attack hit him and caused actual damage thwt he was not used to feeling in a Duel.
[Geoffrey LP: 4000 to 1600]
"I next activateSpawn Frog's effect in my Graveyard. By banishing it, I can draw up to as many cards from my Deck equal to the Level of a non-WATER attribute monster I control divided by two. Since Caius is Level 6, I draw 3 cards. Turn end." Xiao Fung said as he rested his case.
Geoffrey was panting as he attempted to recover from the last blow he had taken. "W-What was that? I never felt an impact like that in a Duel before…" he wondered aloud.
The Wind Demon seemed to have heard his mumbling, for he answered back, "Hoho, so you noticed the power that we Demons can inflict during a Duel, hm? Any damage you take in a Duel involving the forces of darkness such as we Demons will always inflict real damage to you weak humans!" he declared.
Kero was the first to figure out what this meant. "If he had taken that hit from the Neo-Heartless back in Aselia, then Geoffrey would have…"
"…been destroyed, or worse, killed." Yue finished for the Sun Guardian bluntly in his usual monotone voice.
Zidane shot a glare at the Moon Guardian. "What are you, made of ice?! How can you be so calm when your supposed Master is in a life and death situation like this?! Don't you care?!"
Yue snorted as he turned his attention back to the Duel. "Of course I care. But I believe in our new Master's strength. He will turn this around. Watch." Zidane just huffed in annoyance at Yue's apparent cold shoulder as he and Kero too returned to watching the Duel.
Geoffrey had by now returned to a standing position and had recovered enough to get is usual confidence and concentration back. "Alright, I'm taking you down! First off, Stardust Dragon's effect activates during the End Phase of a turn it activated its effect, thus Special Summoning it back from the Graveyard and to my field in Attack mode!"
Stardust Dragon [LV8/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/2500/2000]
"And now it's time for some payback! Ore no turn!" Geoffrey shouted as he drew.

Geoffrey saw his drawn card and smirked. "Dread Dragon, tsujou shoukan in Attack mode!"
Dread Dragon [LV2/FIRE/Dragon/Tuner/1100/0400]
"I now tune Level 8 'Stardust Dragon' with Level 2 'Dread Dragon'!" Dread Dragon flew into the air and become two Level Rings as Stardust Dragon flew between the Rings and become eight Level Stars.
"Energies of hellfire unify to form an inferno of immense power. May our hearts unite with the stars above! Shinkuro Shoukan!" Like last time, a beam of light shot through the Level Ring and enveloping the Level Stars, signaling the finishing of the Synchro Summoning. "Come forth, Trident Dragon in Attack mode!
Trident Dragon [LV10/FIRE/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/3000/3000]
"Trident Dragon's effect activates upon his Summoning, destroying up to two cards I control, so I'm destroying my set card, letting Trident gain an extra attack for this turn!" Geoffrey declared as his last set card was destroyed.
"But that would mean…" the Wind Demon muttered to himself as he anticipated calmly what was coming.
"BATTLE! Trident Dragon, attack Caius the Shadow Monarch and Xiao Fung with a direct attack! Double Trident Blaze!"
"Grrr…" Xiao Fung grunted as he stood his ground against the double assault, which is rather amusing considering he IS the WIND Demon, not the EARTH Demon. Get it? Geh, everyone's a critic. Moving on…
[Xiao Fung LP: 4000 to 3400 to 0400]
"What, don't you flinch?" Geoffrey asked, a little annoyed the Wind Demon didn't appear to be fully affected from the last attack.
"Alright!" Kero and Zidane cheered together. Yue just watched on, but a faint smirk was forming on his lips if one looked hard enough.
"So, had enough?" Geoffrey asked, rather arrogantly and out of character as he got over-confident over the situation.
The Wind Demon slowly got back into his original posture and postion before responding. "Heh… hehehe… HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden gale of laughter that erupted from the Wind Demon. Within minutes, the Demon finally calmed down, and Geoffrey saw a gleam of light pass over those red eyes that gave him another sinking sensation.
"Trust me, if you were me, you would laugh too. I can feel your fear, mortal, and you have every right to be afraid. For by doing that last move, you have sealed your fate. Allow me to show you why. Since you've inflicted me with damage, I can now Special Summon this from my hand. Gorz the Emissary of Darkness, tokushu shoukan in Attack mode!"
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness [LV7/DARK/Fiend/Effect/2700/2;500]
"And whenever Gorz is Special Summoned in this manner, his other effect activates. Since you inflicted me with Battle Damage, I can Special Summon an Emissary of Darkness Token with Attack and Defense points equal to the last amount of damge I took."
Emissary of Darkness Token [LV7/LIGHT/Fairy/Effect/3000/3000]
Geoffrey groaned as he saw what he was now up against as he glanced at the last three cards in his hand. "I set two more cards face-down on the field. Turn end."
Xiao Fung couldn't help but laugh at this situation. "I told you you had no hope of winning this Duel, and even less of getting past Stage Two. This ends here! Watashi no turn!"

"Magic Card: Dark World Dealngs, activate! Both of us draw a card our Deck then discard a card from our hand to the Graveyard. Magic Card: One For One, activate! By discarding a monster from my hand to the Graveyard I'm allowed to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my hand or Deck. So by discarding Level Eater from my hand, Treeborn Frog, tokushu shoukan in Defense mode!"
Treeborn Frog [LV1/WATER/Aqua/Effect/0100/0100]
"I next activate Level Eater's effect. By lowering Gorz's Level from 7 to 6 I can Special Summon it from my Graveyard."
Level Eater [LV1/DARK/Insect/Effect/0600/0000]
"Next, by banishing Swap Frog from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon this from my Graveyard. Ronintoadin, tokushu shoukan in Defense mode!"
Ronintoadin [LV2/WATER/Aqua/Effect/0100/2000]
'Ah crap… He has five monsters on the field, if he attacks with the Token he can end this with Gorz…' Geoffrey thought as he stared up at the two menacing monsters and ignored three reptiles beside them.
Xiao Fung smirked at the panicked expression on Geoffrey's face. "Now while I could defeat you right here and now, I have bigger plans to destroy you. I release Gorz, Emissary Roken, and Level Eater. Adobansu Shoukan! Arise from the sands of Egypt: Obelisk the Tormentor in Attack mode!"
Obelisk the Tormentor [LV10/DIVINE/Divine-Beast/Effect/4000/4000]
Geoffrey's legs become extremely weak upon seeing the towering monster appear before him. Even those like the Card Guardians that had no knowledge of Duel Monsters could feel the raw power that was radiating off of the five-story tall blue behemoth.
"H-How do you have th-that card? I heard those three cards had been sealed away by the Nameless Pharaoh ages ago…" Geoffrey stuttered out as he kept eye contact with the God, for some odd reason he couldn't fathom.
Xiao Fung just laughed. "We Demons have been imprisoned in the Nether World for so long, we've done much research on the many worlds that were parallel to our prison. This is how we altered our rules for sealing to a Three-Stage-Plan. It is also how we found the three Egyptian God Monsters lingering in sealed limbo and liberated them to serve our cause."
The young Keyblade wielder continued to gaze into Obelisk's eyes, and saw something that made his heart stop for a moment.
Tears.
Understanding filled Geoffrey's eyes as renewed determination filled him. He quickly regained his confidence and composure and got back into his Dueling stance. "Bring it on, Xiao Fung the Wind Demon! Give me your best shot!" he shouted without any fear.
That statement made the said Demon to laugh evilly and harder than earlier. "You must have lost your feeble mind in the presence of true power, but so be it. I activate Obelisk's effect! By sacrificing two monsters I control, Obelisk can destroy all monsters you control. So I sacrifice Treeborn Frog and Ronintoadin to destroy Trident Dragon!"
Geoffrey smirked, knowing his plan was working. "Trap Card, open: Mirrored Synchronization, activate! This trap can only be activated when I control a face-up Synchro monster and…"
"Trap cards don't work on God cards, you foolish mortal!" Xiao Fung interrupted.
"Whoever said I was using this on your monster?" Geoffrey countered with a smirk at seeing the surprised look on the Demon's face. "As I was trying to say; this card requires I have a face-up Synchro monster. I can then select another Synchro monster in my Extra Deck with the same type and Level and the Synchro monster I currently control gains the selected monster's effect until the End Phase. I choose Drascension the Supreeme Sky Dragon!"
"It doesn't matter what you do, Obelisk's effect will still destroy all your monsters! Go, Charged Fists of Power!" Xiao Fung roared as Obelisk's fists charged with bright blue energy that was released, thus destroying Trident Dragon. "HAHAHa, now Obelisk can attack directly and end this Duel and… WHAT BLASIMY IS THIS?!" he roared as the smoke cleared.
From the smoke that had been made upon Trident Dragon's destruction rose up two monsters in Defense mode that had been controlled by the Keyblade wielder earlier in the Duel, much to the Wind Demon's anger and Geoffrey's giant smirk only made it worse for it.
Dread Dragon [LV2/FIRE/Dragon/Tuner/1100/0400]
Stardust Dragon [LV8/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/2500/2000]
"HOW?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" Xiao Fung screamed at volumes that made some of the surrounding rocks crumble from the sheer pressured voice.
Geoffrey's smirk evolved into a full-blown grin. "Did you forget my trap card: Mirrored Synchronization? Trident Dragon had gained the effect of Drascension the Supreme Sky Dragon. So when Trident was destroyed, I was able to Special Summon from my Graveyard all the monsters I had used to originally Synchro Summon him. Thus, this is where we stand."
"It matters not! I will just do all over again! By lowering Obelisk's Level from 10 to 9, I can Special Summon Level Eater from my Graveyard in Defense mode!"
Level Eater [LV1/DARK/Insect/Effect/0600/0000]
"And by banishing Treeborn Frog from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon Ronintoadin once more from my Graveyard in Defense mode as well!"
Ronintoadin [LV2/WATER/Aqua/Effect/0100/2000]
"And I now sacrifice both Level Eater and Ronintoadin to activate Obelisk's effect! Go, Charged Fists of Power!"
Again, Geoffrey was ready for it. "I activate Stardust Dragon's effect! Like before, he can sacrifice himself to negate and destroy Obelisk! Go, Victim Sanctuary!"
"You fool! A God cannot be targeted by any card effects!" Xiao Fung countered.
Geoffrey was still calm, with his smirk back in place. "Stardust may not be able to destroy Obelisk, but he can still negate its effect!" he retorted smugly.
This just made Xiao Fung even angrier than before. He as already a giant purple toad, but seemed to grow even larger, which made him look like a comically large purple balloon about ready to pop.
"So be it, I'll just settle things the old fashion way for now. BATTLE! Obelisk, destroy Dread Dragon! Fist of Fate!"
Geoffrey winced upon his remaining monster's destruction, but was ready. "I activate Dread Dragon's effect! When it's destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can select a Level 3 or lower Dragon-type monster from my Deck and add it to my hand. I choose Dragunity Aklys."
The Wind Demon seemed to blow up even further, but managed to contain itself. "You just barely survived this round, mortal. I'll settle things next turn. I set a card face-down on the field. Turn end."
If Geoffrey's previous grins and smirks had an annoying effect before, they now rose to immeasurable levels. And this is why.
"I activate Mirrored Synchronization's other effects! During the End Phase of the turn it was activated, if the monster its effect was used on was destroyed by a card effect I can Special Summon from the Graveyard to the field. In addition, I can also Special Summon the Synchro monster I chose for Mirroed Synchronization's effect from my Extra Deck as well. However, both monsters' effects must be negated and their Attack and Defense points reduced to zero. I play them in Defense mode!"
Trident Dragon [LV10/FIRE/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/0000/0000]
Drascension the Supreme Sky Dragon [LV10/LIGHT/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/0000/0000]
"Also, like before, Stardust Dragon also returns to the field during the End Phase in Attack mode!"
Stardust Dragon [LV8/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/2500/2000]
"And now I'll end this! Ore no turn!" Geoffrey shouted as he drew.

"Trap Card, open: Assault Mode Activate, activate! With this, I release a Synchro monster I control, and then Special Summon from my Deck '/Assault Mode' monster whose name includes the released monsters name. Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, tokushu shoukan in Attack mode!"
Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode [LV10/WIND/Dragon/Effect/3000/2500]
Xiao Fung snorted. "So you now have two useless monsters and a new one that's just as useless as they are. None of them compare to the might of my Egyptian God!" he boasted arrogantly.
While Geoffrey didn't want to admit it, the Demon had a point. The two cards he had in his hand were the monster card: Dragunity Aklysand a Quick-Play Spell Card: Double Up Chance. Both cards were currently useless and neither card could help him in this current situation.
Just as he was about to give up hope, his Keyblade materialized into his right hand and a bright light enveloped the entire area around him, thus blinding the raven-haired teen.
When his vision returned, Geoffrey found himself floating in front a large ship of some kind. It looked old. Really old. And it was surrounded by sand. An entire wide-spread desert as far as the eyes could see. And the dark sky seemed to hold three suns.
What really drew his attention though, was the ominous glowing white figure that was hovering in front of the antique vessel.
Said figure soon spotted Geoffrey and spoke up in monotone voice, "You seem to be a kind hearted person. I will soon be sent on journey and my powers scattered across the realms. Before that happens, I would like to entrust a piece of my power to someone I know I can trust."
The figure then held out its right hand, which was holding a card face-down, so Geoffrey couldn't identify it. He silently took it and examined it.
It was blank.
Geoffrey looked up to ask the strange figure if this was some kind of joke, but saw he was back to the Duel site. Everyone was looking at him oddly. But what was really odd was in his right hand.
The card Geoffrey had received from the strange figure. Information seemed to flow into him as he continued to look at the blank card. And as time went on, the card began to form a picture within seconds. Geoffrey soon realized it was an Xyz Monster card he was holding, and he knew now what he had to do.
'Just who was that guy, and why did he entrust me with a card like this?' Geoffrey thought as he continued to glance down at the once blank card that was slowly becoming an Xyz Monster card. At first, the card seemed to be written in a language he had no idea or clue of understanding. But as the card's picture and other features came into focus, the text and card name slowly flashed and became Japanese kanji. 'Oh well, I'll figure it out some other time.'
Geoffrey held the shifting card up in the air. "Mad time! I overlay Level 10 'Trident Draogn', 'Drascension the Supreme Sky Dragon', and 'Stardust Draogn/Assault Mode'!" At his command, his three monsters turned into glowing orange balls of energy before spiraling into the air. A galaxy-like portal formed in the sky as the three monster energies flew towards it.
"San tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" At this all three energy waves had entered the galactic vortex, creating an explosion to occur in the sky. "Come forth, Nanbazu Kyuu-Juu-Kyuu: Kibo-Ou-Ryuu Hopu Doragun!"
Number 99: Dragon King of Wishes, Hope Dragon [RK10/LIGHT/Dragon/Xyz/Effect/4000/2000/OU:3]
Xiao Fung stared on dumbstruck as an enormous dragon that had a bright '99' tattooed onto its skin materialized from the galaxy portal created from the Xyz Summon. He knew how to Duel well, but this form of Summoning was one he had never seen before and hadn't expected the new Keyblade wielder to pull something like this off. What really confused the Wind Demon were the three balls of energy that kept circling around the new dragon, and wondered if those were part of the monster's design.
While Geoffrey was still new to the art of Xyz Summons, he had learned the jist of it from Kaibaman's Duel back on Aselia. And he also knew what he had to do now to end this Duel.
"BATTLE! Hope Dragon, attack Obelisk the Tormentor! Hope Stream!" he ordered as his new dragon began charging up for its attack.
"You fool! Both of our monsters have the same number of Attack points! Have you finally lost what was left of your competence or are you just mad?!" Xiao Fung roared as he kept his eyes on the large dragon powering up.
Geoffrey just smirked. "Actually, I'm just smart. A 'Number' monster like Hope Dragon has an effect that only lets other 'Number' monsters destroy it in battle, so you'll be the only one to lose a monster here!"
"WHAT?!" the Wind Demon screeched in shock as Hope Dragon seemed to have gathered all the power it needed for its attack.
Geoffrey noticed as well. "Go, finish Obelisk off now!" Hope Dragon seemed to give the barest of nods as it unleashed a powerful stream of light at the towering Egyptian God.
"I don't think so, mortal! Trap Card, open: Mirror Force, activate! This trap activates whenever my opponent declares an attack. It then destroys all monsters you control that are in Attack mode, so say farewell to Hope Dragon!" Xiao Fung gloated as a purple colored barrier appeared in front of Obelisk and seemed ready to reflect Geoffrey's attack.
Geoffrey was ready for it. "I won't be saying goodbye to anything, Demon! I activate Hope Dragon's effect! Whenever a card effect activates that would force Hope Dragon to leave my side of the field, I can use an Overlay Unit to not only negate that card's effect, but destroy all other monsters on the field! In addition, you take damage equal to the combined Attack points of the destroyed monsters, so you're taking 4000 points of damage!" Geoffrey countered.
One of the three energy balls that had been circling Hope Dragon was absorbed by said monster, who then unleashed a powerful hurricane that not only shattered Xiao Fung's Mirror Force, but sent an endless barrage of wind at the blue Egyptian God that eventually destroyed it in a giant explosion that sent shockwaves flying at its card holder.
"TH-THIS CANNOT BE! NO! NOOOOOOO!" Xiao Fung screamed as Obelisk's destruction created an explosion that impacted him and sent him flying backwards in pain.
