Rua: Finally, I'm up!
MasakiSora-chan: Yes, you are.
Just to mention, I cut the duels that weren't changed down, it would get too much otherwise.
Also this is the first time Reborn of Blue-Eyes will show up and I have to warn you that it got some pretty nasty effect but therefore it's self-made.
I'll give you the whole description of the card at the end of the chapter, so please read and enjoy until then!
Surprise during the first round
Rua, who had entered as Ruka, had lost his duel against Bommer, which made him a bit depressed. Even Yusei's try to cheer him up a bit didn't really work but eventually he lighted up again. Well, he just couldn't be mad for long.

Afterwards came the duel of block C with Kodo and Aki in it.
"Let's see what you have learned in the meantime, Aki." Sara thought.
But she soon recognized that Aki was still not able to control her powers and Kodo had done a good job.
He had promised Goodwin to reveal that Aki had the power of a Signer and they got that proof. He made Aki that angry that she nearly destroyed the Stadium, even if they could see her mark of the dragon.
"Pretty aggressive your friend." Catherine said to Sara as they all together watched the duel.
"Yes, she is the same as back then, no, she is even worse." Sara gave back with a frown on her forehead.
During the duel Aki was able to summon her Black Rose Dragon, her key card, which revealed her to be the Black Rose Witch, who was feared by mostly every citizen of Neo Domino City, because of ther power to let Duel Monsters Cards become alive and of course for using them against innoncent persons.
"That is really not what I wanted to show you, Aki"' Sara thought sadly.
Next up was Yusei's duel – and the first Turbo Duel of the tournament. He had to duel against Shira, the mysterious Shadow Duelist, who had made himself a name in the underground duels.
But it wasn't going as planned, because Shira had been knocked out so that the former Dueling Pro, Mukuro Enjo, who had been beaten by Jack, took his place.
Goodwin told the MC to go on and Yusei also accepted Mukuro's challenge. While the latter tried to win by gaining a maximum speed, Yusei was able to win by slowing down and believing in his deck.
So the first three duels were over and it was now Sara's turn to win.
"Good luck!" Joey said patting her shoulder.
Sara on the other hand shoved him off.
"Thanks, but I won't need it. I'm going to make this quick." She answered before going down into the arena.
"Say, does she have a bad temper today?" Joey asked Catherine curious.
"No, that's not it. But she wants to win this tournament to get her father, uncle and company back and therefore she has no time to spend on litte fish, that's all. And don't forget, in cases of personality she comes more after Seto than me." Her mother replied.
"Yeah, you got that right. Would have never imagined to get a female Kaiba. One is just enough." Joey gave back.
Catherine flinched by his mentioning of Seto but Joey didn't seem to notice.

In the meantime the duel was about to begin.
"Everybody listen! Now we're beginning our last duel of the first round. Who will be the last of the four remaining finalists? On one side we have Professor Frank!"
While the people were cheering for him Sara was also brought up into the arena.
"But on the other side we have also the girl, who posesses a deck full of dragons! Are Professor Frank's techniques good enough to stand up against the 'Queen of Dragons'? We'll see soon!"
Sara looked emotionless at Professor Frank, who had the first move.
He drew his card.
"I'll Summon Symmetry Rorschach and play one card face down. That should do for now."
Without saying anything more he ended his turn.
Even that he was finished she didn't move or say one word.
"Are you scared of something?" Frank asked her in an singsong voice.
"This duel is over." Sara answered not until then she drew her card.
Still not moving much or saying anything she activated another card from her hand.
"I activate Ancient Rules to play my Red-Eyes Black Dragon in Attack Mode! Then I Normal Summon my Tuner-Monster White Stone of Legend. Next I tune my White Stone with my Red-Eyes to Synchro Summon – Reborn of Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
The Dragon roared and only a few moments later her Life Points were cut in half and the four Blue-Eyes White Dragons were on her side of the field.
Without hestitating any time the Dragons attacked. Obviously Frank tried to activate his trap but it didn't work so the attack fully hit him, destroying his monster and letting his Life Points drop to zero.
He fell onto his knees and with a last roar Sara's dragons disappeared.
It was deathly still in the arena. Nobody had the slightest clue or could believe what just had happened.
Among the spectators, Joey stated: "Now that's what I call a quick duel."
The Professor looked up at her. "What was that?" He croaked.
Sara waited a moment before answering. She could hear the breathings of the people, everyone waited for her explanation.
"I activated the Special Ability of 'Reborn of Blue-Eyes White Dragon'. This allowed me to play my four Blue-Eyes-White Dragons after cutting my Life Points in half and when all these dragons are special summoned together with this effect my opponent can't use any Spells, Traps or Monster Effects until the End Phase of the turn they are summoned. That's how you lost." Sara looked down at him before turning on her heels and leaving the dueling space with her white coat that looked really simular to the one of her father, flying magestically around her.
But suddenly – "Not so fast."
Sara stopped without turning around. She didn't know this voice but it was definetly not Frank.
Then someone else began to laugh. "You're as arrogant as your father, Sara Kaiba."
Sara's head bounced up before turning on the spot. She had recognized that voice.
"But that's impossible. He would never dare coming here again." She thought her head spinning.
"You really resemble your father. Never thought something like that was possible, though. Him having a family, I mean." The stranger went on.
Sara didn't respond, she just stared in the direction from where the voice was coming.
Everyone else waited curious because nobody knew what was going on and the Professor just began to come to his feet again.
Suddenly two figures came out of the other entrance to the arena and stopped few meters behind Professor Frank.
Sara's eyes narrowed in annoyance as she recognized one of them without any doubt.
