Lucy pushed her glasses up as she seemed to analyze Yujin, she then smirked, a smile similar to the ominous smile she had a few seconds ago.

"Ladies first." She said, taking a deep bow.

"Draw. I'll use Gem-Knight Fusion."

"Oh so early?" Lucy remarked.

"Brilliant Sardonyx of good fortune! Sharp jet-black darkness! In a whirlpool of light, combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! Gem-Knight Zirconia!"(EARTH, Rock, Level 8, ATK 2900, DEF: 2500)

The giant Gem-knight appeared once again to Yujin's side, looking as menacing as ever.

"Now, with Obsidian's effect, I'll special summon Sardonyx!"

"Predictable, I'll use Bottomless Trap Hole on it."

Before Sardonyx even appeared on the field he fell into a giant pit and disappeared.

"Eh!? Well, I'll use Gem-Knight Fusion's effect to return to my hand!"

Lazuli slowly entered out of the deck as she looked at Yujin, she was still asleep and woke up due to Yujin.

"Wait what, we're in a duel? With that Lucy chick?"

Yujin looked at his partner and slowly nodded before looking back at Lucy.

Enter Battle Phase

"Zirconia, smash the face-down!" Zirconia jumped in the air smashing the unknown card, only to reveal for it to be-

"You destroyed my Vampire Sorcerer, with his effect, when destroyed, I can add 1 Vampire card to hand. I'll add Shadow Vampire."

"Hold on, you use VAMPIRES?! What, you really don't look like a girl who uses that."

"I've been spreading clues on my deck if you noticed."

"Oh so that explains the book, but what were the other ones?"

"The fact I knew how the one loop works from the top of my head maybe, or maybe the fact I was playing the organ. You know, I was playing Toccata and Fugue in D minor."

"What?" Yujin and Lazuli said in unison scratching their heads.

"The one theme from Dracula."

"Oh."

"Uncultured swine." She facepalmed.

"Well, I'll set 1 card and end my turn." Yujin said.

Field:

Spells/Traps: 1 face-down

"I'll activate the Spell Card: Soul Exchange. Now I can use one of YOUR monsters for a tribute summon! I'll tribute your petty fusion to summon Shadow Vampire" (DARK, Zombie, Level 5, 2000 ATK, 0 DEF) A tall imposing creature appeared, it held a shield and a sword emanating a dark evil aura, the armor had crimson red symbols on it, the face was obscured by shadows, but the crimson red eyes could be seen as they penetrated right through Yujin.

"When he's Normal Summoned I can special summon another Vampire from my hand or deck, but to his summon I'll chain my trap card!"

"… What?"

"I'll use Vampire Takeover. If I have no card in my Field Zone and all monsters I control are zombies, I can activate the Field Spell, Vampire Kingdom!"

The field around Yujin and Lucy changed, it turned dark as a giant castle appeared behind Lucy and bats were swarming everywhere, a blood red moon illuminated the now dark clouded sky. Multiple houses appeared from the side, and the temperature seemed to drop multiple degrees.

"Also, I can summon 1 Vampire from my grave in Defense mode, so say hello to Vampire Sorcerer!" (DARK, Zombie, Level 4, 1500 ATK, 1500 DEF.)The demonic wizard vampire appeared in full view to the field.

"And don't forget, Shadow Vampire will still summon a monster! Say hello to Vampire Duke!" (DARK, Zombie, Level 5, 2000 ATK, 0 DEF)A vampire similar to the typical depictions of Dracula appeared, sporting a wicked smile.

"Then, when Duke is special summoned you'll have to send 1 card from your deck to your graveyard, from the type I declare. and I say, monsters. You have no normal monsters in your graveyard, therefore, you can't send Lazuli to +1. And you having less targets to fuse with will help me."

"So, that's why you used bottomless on my Gemini instead of Zirconia huh, genius move if I have to say, well I'll send Gem-Turtle."

"By the way, that was not everything. Thanks to my Field Spell, once per turn when a card is send to the grave from your deck, I can destroy 1 card, then send 1 vampire to my graveyard from my own deck. So goodbye backrow! Now I'll send Vampire Grace to my graveyard."

"Tch." Yujin destroyed his Battle Fusion.

"I would like to enter the Battle Phase, however, due to Shadow Vampire's effect, only Duke can attack this turn, however due to Soul Exchange, I can't attack anyway this turn."

"Well, what will that do if you can't attack me?"

"I overlay the Level 5 Shadow Vampire and Vampire Duke!"

"What!?" Yujin looked in terror at a black hole opening in the middle of the field as the 2 monster turned into 2 dark orbs flying around it, then entering it."

"With these 2 monsters I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Rise from the depths of hell! Ruler of the Night, King of the Vampires! Noble Knight of the Bloody Moon! Crimson Knight, Vampire Bram!" (DARK, Zombie, Rank 5, 2500 ATK, 0 DEF)

The armor of Shadow Vampire rose from the black portal as a mist enveloped it, a body appeared in the mist. It had long white hair, a completely lifeless and pale face, and the same red eyes that felt as threatening as ever.

"Sheesh, you sound like you have the worst case of Fangirl now."

"Looks like I haven't broken you hard enough, I wonder what happens when I'll steal your monsters!"

"Say WHAT?!"

"I'll use Bram's effect, by detaching 1 xyz material, I can summon 1 monster from your graveyard, to my field, but only that monster can attack this turn. Not like it matters, due to Soul Exchange, but oh well. Say hello to the new and improved Gem-Knight Zirconia! Gem-Knight Zirconia!"(EARTH, Rock, Level 8, 2900 ATK, 2500 DEF)

Zirconia appeared, but this time opposing Yujin, he was enveloped in a dark aura, its cape was tattered, red stains were on its armor and it now felt like a lifeless puppet attached to Bram's strings.

"My little toy, for me to mess with. It'll obey all my commands, and next turn, it'll finish you." Lucy moved her fingers around like a puppeteer, causing Zirconia to follow the movements.

"I'll end my turn. Your turn."

Turn 4: Yujin

Hand: 1

Field:

Monsters: Gem-Knight Zirconia (2900 ATK), Vampire Bram (2500 ATK), Vampire Sorcerer (1500 ATK)

Spells/Traps: Vampire Kingdom (Field Spell.)

Yujin went silent for a second and glanced at Lucy's field. He was clearly upset at her for stealing his monster.

"DRAW!" He shouted as he looked at the card he drew.

"I summon Gem-Armadillo, I search for Obsidian!" (EARTH, Rock, Level 4, ATK: 1700, DEF: 500).

"I fuse my monsters now! Activate Gem-Knight Fusion! Gem Tinged with fire! Sharp-Jet Blackness! In a whirlpool of light combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! Appear! He who destroys! Gem-Knight Ruby! (EARTH, Pyro, Level 6, ATK: 2500, DEF: 1300.)

Garnet, a tall Gem-Knight in slim red-orange armor fused with Obsidian and then a gem with a shining red armor, with hints of gold appeared, it had a big blue cape and held a scythe-like staff in his hands.

"A new monster huh, well it's ATK won't kill Bram OR Zirconia."

"Obsidian summons Garnet." (EARTH, Pyro, Level 4, 1900 ATK, 0 DEF.)

The red-orange warrior appeared, its hand seemed to burn with excitement.

"I'll use Ruby's effect, by tributing one Gem- Monster, he gains that much attack, I tribute armadillo." Ruby slammed his weapon into Armadillo as he absorbed his power.

"Killing your own teammates for power. Seems a bit savage, don't you think." Lucy seemed to enjoy messing around with Yujin.

Gem-Knight Ruby (ATK: 2500+1700=4200)

Enter Battle Phase

"Ruby attack Bram!" Ruby charged with full speed at Bram as he tried to counter it with his shield.

"Kingdom's effect, my lovely Bram gains 500 ATK during Damage Calculation."

Crimson Knight Vampire Bram (ATK: 2500+500=3000)

Ruby kept slamming into Bram and finally broke through his shield, cutting the vampire in half.

Lucy LP:8000 - 1200= 6800 LP

"Garnet, attack Sorcerer! FLAMING….IRON….FIST!"

Garnet charged his fist up with energy until it was on fire as he jumped and punched the enemy vampire in the face, burning it alive.

"Sorcerer's effect, I add Duke to my hand."

"I'll set 1 card and end my turn, Ruby's attack returns to normal."

Gem-Knight Ruby: (4200 ATK-1700=2500 ATK)

Spells/Traps: Vampire Kingdom (Field Spell.)

"You've got guts, but you don't think a vampire dies that easily, do you? When Bram dies, he'll return the next Standby Phase, however, in Defense Mode." (DARK, Zombie, Rank 5, 2500 ATK, 0 DEF)

Bram appeared on the field, still cut in two pieces. The two cut halves of Bram connected back together as tentacle-like appendages dragged the cut body of the vampire back together and he seemingly healed his wounds and fixed his armor and shield, then crouched down on his knee and raised his newly repaired shield.

"Too bad, such wasted time. Now, I banish the Sorcerer from my graveyard to summon Vampire Duke without tributing for it." (DARK, Zombie, level 5, 2000 ATK, 0 DEF)

"When Normal Summoned, he can summon another Vampire from my Graveyard, in defense mode, of course. I'll summon another one." (DARK, Zombie, level 5, 2000 ATK, 0 DEF)

"When a level 5 or higher Zombie is summoned, I can pay 2000 Life Points to summon Vampire Grace! Almighty queen of the undead, bathe in the blood of my enemy!" A creepy looking queen appeared, dressed in a dark-colored dress with spider-leg motif on it. She had a staff in one hand and a glass, presumably filled with blood in the other.

"Duke's effect, send 1 monster to your graveyard from your deck, and then I'll use the effect of my Kingdom to destroy your backrow."

Yujin send another Gem-turtle to grave, but smirked.

"I'll chain! Mystical Space Typhoon! I'll destroy your kingdom!" a ravaging Typhoon appeared destroying the city around them as the castle crumbled and the mountain collapsed, and even the blood red moon disappeared.

"Screw you!" Lucy said, with a clear hint of anger in her voice.

"I'll overlay my 2 level 5 dukes to construct the Overlay Network! Descend from heaven, fallen angel who will end all life! Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon." (DARK, Fiend, Rank 5, 2600 ATK, 1700 DEF.)

An angel descended from the sky, but it was a dark being, black feathered wings, and a crimson red dagger in its hand, long black hair, a skeletal build and claw like hands. And similar red eyes to those of Bram.

"Now, by detaching 1 Material, I can destroy 1 face-up card of yours, goodbye Ruby! And with grace's effect you'll have to send another monster to your graveyard."

Adreus pointed his dagger at Ruby as he drained his soul from the body causing the armor to fall down and disappear. Lazuli had been watching the whole time still and was somewhat worried, Yujin smiled at her to show he's okay as he send his last turtle to the graveyard.

Enter Battle Phase.

"Adreus, attack! End of the World!" In one flash Adreus cut Garnet in half destroying it.

"Now Grace, attack!" Multiple bats appeared around Grace as she commanded them to attack Yujin.

Yujin LP:8000-700-2000=5300 LP

"Set 1, and end my turn."

Yujin was silent and drew his card.

"Cat got your tongue?" Lucy taunted Yujin.

"A duel says more than words. I'll use the spell card: Raigeki! All your monsters are destroyed!"

A thunderstorm appeared striking all of Lucy's monsters killing them.

" Why do you keep destroying my THINGS?" Lucy was getting clearly annoyed.

"Why do YOU keep destroying MY things woman!" Yujin snapped back.

"I'll end my turn."

Lucy looked at her face-down card and smiled.

"Draw, I'll normal summon Pyramid Turtle." (EARTH, Zombie, Level 4, 1200 ATK, 1400 DEF.) A giant turtle appeared holding an entire pyramid on its back.

He who chases the enemy! Gem-Knight Citrine! (EARTH, Pyro, Level 7, 2200 ATK, 1950 DEF.) A warrior similar to Ruby appeared, only the hands were on fire, the armor was a more orange color, and it seemed to made of wood and it had a sword made out of molten magma in his hand.

"Fusion's effect to return it back to my hand, banish Topaz."

Enter Battle Phase

"Attack! Effect, you can't activate any cards or effects until the end of the damage step! So Turtle's effect won't trigger, nor that face-down!"

"Draw! Damnit, this card's useless!, I'll set 1 monster and card and I'll end my turn." Lucy said.

"I stop." Yujin shut off his duel disk and walked away.

"You can't do that!" Lucy shouted at him.

"Yes I can, you have no field, and you have no backrow to counter me, the only way you'd win is by drawing a Book of Life, and-" Yujin revealed the card he would draw, Bottomless Trap Hole.

"See? You lost."

"You can't leave me here! I'm here to duel!"

"I wasn't here for my own pleasure, remembered what I said? A duel speaks more than words? I see the way you duel, no passion. Just… hatred, you don't show any love for it. You were a waste of my time." Yujin walked away, leaving Lucy and Lazuli in shock of what he said.

"You'll regret saying that!" Lucy said.

"You were so much more fun when you didn't act like a 5 year old. Oh well, goodbye miss Stalker."

Yujin walked outside of the door and went back to his dorms.

"Hey, where were you man? You got homework, remember?" Zephyr said, playing video games.

"Nothing, so why aren't you doing your homework?"

"Already did it."

"Sure, if you say so." Yujin grabbed one of his text books and started working on his homework.

"She was strong, if she actually put some heart in it, I wonder how much power she would have… And why me? I mean, I wasn't the only person to OTK… Something.. feels off." Yujin was mumbling.

"Let's just celebrate we won, okay?" Lazuli said, trying to comfort her friend.

"You okay there, buddy?" Zephyr said.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just tired." Yujin sighed.

"Something… feels so off."
