"What do you think Yusei, can he win?" Akiza asked.

"I'm not sure, but all we can do is hope for the best." Yusei said calmly.

"I guess, but still this isn't going to be easy." Akiza said.

Zone 4000 Paradox 4000: "I'll go first and I'll set one monster in defense mode and activate Foolish Burial to send Shining Angel to my graveyard, I'll end my move with two facedown cards." Paradox said. "That ends my turn."

"Alright, in that case it's my move." Zone said. "I start by playing two of my cards facedown, and next I'll summon Silent Swordsman LV 0 in attack mode."

"Are you kidding me, that thing only has 1000 attack points, it's too weak to win this duel." Paradox said calmly.

"We'll see, I attack with my Silent Swordsman." Zone said.

"Alright, you destroyed my Skull Servant." Paradox said. "Of course now I'm able to defeat you."

"We'll see I end my turn Paradox." Zone said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

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

"I know, but the duel is far from over." Akiza said. "There's plenty of time for Zone to turn it around."

"I hope so, because I have a feeling I know what's about to appear." Yusei said.

"It's my turn again Zone, so first I should thank you." Paradox said calmly. "You destroyed my Skull Servant last round, which gave me everything I needed."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Zone asked.

"In order to summon the three strongest monsters in my deck I need a light and dark monster in my graveyard, so now I remove Shining Angel, and Skull Servant in order to summon my Chaos Sorcerer." Paradox said confidently. "Now I'll attack your Silent Swordsman with Chaos Sorcerer."

"Big mistake, I play Turn Jump." Zone said. "This card jumps the duel ahead by three turns, and thanks to his ability, Silent Swordsman gains 500 attack points every turn."

"Wait, you mean your Swordsman has 2500 attack points?" Paradox asked in shock. "That's a twist."

"Exactly, so now Silent Magician attack and destroy Chaos Sorcerer." Zone said.

"In that case I'll end my turn with another facedown." Paradox said. "That ends my move."

Zone 4000 Paradox 3800: "It's my turn, so now my Silent Swordsman gains 500 more attack points." Zone said.

"I know, but I think I'll play my trap card, Chaos Exchange." Paradox said. "This let's me switch the Chaos Sorcerer in my graveyard with the two monsters I removed from play to summon it."

"So now you have a light and dark monster in the graveyard again." Zone said. "In that case I'll summon Silent Magician LV 0 in attack mode, and next I'll attack you with both of my monsters."

"Activate Negate Attack, this card stops your attack." Paradox said. "Looks like the duel is back to me."

"Not yet, I set one card facedown." Zone said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This is bad, if Paradox had one he might have all three." Yusei said nervously.

"You don't mean those two do you?" Akiza asked. "There's almost no way he can beat them."

"I know, and if he's holding that one in his hand the duel is as good as over." Yusei said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"It's my move." Paradox said.

"Hold on, since you drew a card my Silent Magician gains 500 attack points." Zone said.

"Fine, but now I'll start by activating the field spell Chaos Wormhole."

"What does that do?" Zone asked nervously.

"It allows me to sacrifice monsters that are removed from play in order to summon a monster from my hand." Paradox explained. "Now I'll remove my two monsters once again in order to summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End."

"That's not good, I was hoping you were holding the other one." Zone said nervously.

"I'm not done, I sacrifice Skull Servant and Shining Angel in order to play my Earthbound Immortal, I summon Ccarayhua in attack mode."

"This is not good." Zone said.

"It's worse than you know, I attack you directly with Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua." Paradox said. "Next I'll attack your Silent Magician with Chaos Emperor Dragon."

"I play the Fit of Rage trap card, this increases Silent Magician's attack points by the damage I took from Ccarayhua's attack." Zone said. "That brings his total to 4300."

"Not bad, but I'll still have life points after your attack." Paradox said.

"Sillent Magician, destroy the Chaos Emperor Dragon." Zone said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That was way to close." Yusei said. "Zone managed to survive that turn, but he's still far from winning the duel."

"I agree, if Paradox has a way to block his attacks this turn the duel is over." Akiza said. "Those facedown cards are about to decide this duel."

"I just hope Zone can get around them." Yusei said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You're good Zone, but I'll end my move with one final facedown card." Paradox said. "This is the last turn of the duel."

Zone 1200 Paradox 2500: "I agree, I start by activating the effect of Silent Swordsman, boosting his attack points to 3500." Zone said. "Next I play the Heavy Storm to destroy every spell and trap card on the field."

"I thought you might try that, which is why I set these three cards facedown, Chaos Call, Chaos Aura, and Chaos Return." Paradox said. "In simple terms these three cards allow me to call my three strongest monsters to the field regardless of where they currently are, namely Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, Chaos Sorcerer, and Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning."

"I thought you would play them, which is why I have this card, United We Stand." Zone said. "I can equip this to my Silent Swordsman, and increase his attack points to 5100, now I attack Chaos Sorcerer."

"I'm beginning to see a pattern here." the KotN said lazily as a third orb of darkness appeared. "Time to stop holding back, you're next."

"Don't worry, this winning streak is about to end." said another dark signer before stepping forward.

(Zone managed to defeat Paradox, and now the fourth dark signer is preparing to duel. Next chapter Yusei will duel again. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
