"You've got to be kidding, a strategy where any move you can make depends on what you draw is powerless against my Meklord Emperor." Lester said confidently.
"No, Kalin's got you in the palm of his hand, trust me I've been in this situation before." S. Yusei said.
"I'm glad you remember my cards Yusei, and now I'll show this brat, when I have no cards in my hand Infernity Archer can attack you directly, so I'll do just that, direct attack." Kalin said.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I play the special ability of Skiel Guard, now once per turn I can negate the attack of one of your monsters." Lester said smugly. "Looks like you're strategy is flawed."
"Is that so, well your Meklord is certainly strong, but I still have another monster in attack mode, Infernity Destroyer, and his attack points are higher than your Meklord Emperor Skiel." Kalin said.
"You honestly think that matters, than try." Lester said mockingly.
"If you insist, Infernity Destroyer attack Meklord Emperor Skiel." Kalin said.
"I play the trap SA3, now I destroy Skiel Attack in order to summon Skiel Attack 3, and now since Meklord Emperor Skiel's attack points are based on the attack points of all the other Meklord parts on my field, his attack points increase to 2400." Lester said smugly.
"Great, I'll end my move." Kalin said.
Kalin 3900 Lester 4000: "My move, so I'll draw." Lester said before breaking out into a huge grin. "I play a rare magic card, Inverted Infinity. Now I send all of my Meklord Emperor parts to the graveyard, and I can summon new monsters to take their place, so I summon Meklord Shadow Skiel ∞, Shadow Skiel Top, Shadow Skiel Attack, Shadow Skiel Guard, and Shadow Skiel Carrier."
"So you got rid of your blue monster in order to summon one that's a tiny bit darker? That was a waste of a turn." Kalin said.
"My move isn't over yet, I play the special ability of Meklord Shadow Skiel, now once per turn I can absorb a synchro monster from your extra deck, and Skiel gains all of it's attack points." Lester said. "Now then, which of your synchro monsters should I take?"
"I only have one, so just take my Hundred Eye Dragon." Kalin said angrily. "This duel is far from over though."
"I beg to differ, now I'll attack your Infernity Archer with Meklord Shadow Skiel." Lester said.
"Kalin, be careful." S. Yusei said.
"Keep your concern Yusei, I told you that this duel is far from over." Kalin said.
"Well if I were you I'd just quit now." Lester said. "I'll end my move."
Kalin 700 Lester 4000: "You made one mistake kid, I play the Pot of Greed Magic card, so now I draw two new cards." Kalin said. "Perfect, I play Earthbound Shadow Awakening, now I can summon a monster from my deck, and who better than Infernity Doomslinger."
"What's the point of that move, you can't beat my Meklord Shadow." Lester said lazily.
"Well it's a good thing my spell has another effect, I add an Earthbound Shadow to my hand, so I'll add Earthbound Shadow Ccapac Apu." Kalin said while adding the card to his hand. Can't show the signers my real ace yet, he thought.
"That's all find and good, but you still haven't played anything that can beat my Meklord Shadow." Lester said.
"I play the field spell Infernity Wasteland, now all of my Infernity monsters gain 300 attack and defense points, but that's not the reason I'm playing this card, now I sacrifice both Infernity Guardian and Infernity Doomslinger in order to summon Earthbound Shadow Ccapac Apu." Kalin said. "Our duel is almost over."
"I'll admit that monster is powerful, but it's still over 2000 points too weak." Lester said. "If you attack you'll lose the duel."
"Let's put that to the test shall we?" Kalin asked with a smirk. "Earthbound Shadow Ccapac Apu, attack him directly. That's right, Earthbound Shadows can attack directly and you can't target them for attacks."
"Wait, you've got to be kidding me." Lester said angrily as his life points decreased. "Now I'm really mad."
"That isn't my problem, I end my move." Kalin said calmly.
"Unreal, Kalin's about to beat Lester." S. Crow said.
"Don't forget, Lester has a lot of moves he can make to wipe out Kalin's life points." Leo said. "Plus his Meklord is the weakest so we still have to worry about that."
"True, not to mention any abilities the Meklord Shadow's have that the original Meklord Emperors didn't." S. Akiza said.
Kalin 700 Lester 1000: "You may have brought out an impressive monster, but it's not strong enough, I play another effect of Meklord Shadow Skiel, I sacrifice the monster he's equipped with to deal you damage equal to it's attack points, so I win this duel." Lester said.
"Not quite, I play the special ability of the Infernity Doomslinger in my graveyard, now your effect is negated and we play a little game, you can either stop your damage effect, or we check the card on top of my deck, and if the card is a monster you take damage equal to the damage I would have taken, but if it's a spell or trap card I take the damage as normal." Kalin explained. "Oh and by the way I forget how many monsters I have left, so it's completely up to luck."
"If I don't take this chance I can't possibly win, so fine draw your card." Lester said angrily.
"Alright, the card that decides our duel is…" Kalin said before drawing his card. "The monster, Infernity Necromancer, and you know what that means kid."
"Alright, I'll admit you have some talent, but I'm far from done with you." Lester said vanishing in a flash of light.
"Kalin, thanks for the help." S. Yusei said.
"Don't get the wrong idea Yusei, you and I have a score to settle, but as long as Yliaster is around it'll have to wait. I need to go back, just know that our duel is going to be the last one you ever experience." Kalin said before getting on his runner and riding away.
(Kalin managed to defeat Lester, but the youngest Emperor of Yliaster is far from finished. Next chapter the shadow signers and signers will discuss the duel. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
