Bee: 8000
"Let's duel!"

Bee: 7000
Now it was Bumblebee's turn to get excited. "How did my life points go down?"
"My machine's effect is when it destroys a monster in battle damage is inflicted equal to the level of the monster times 500. So level four equals 2000 damage. Your move."
"Very clever, Sparky. I activate Insect Barrier."
A force field appeared on the field between the two duelists.

"Let me finish. I summon Dragonfly."

"First I set a card."
Cyborg looked at his Gadget Soldier then talked to it.

A mechanical version of the freaky monster now stood erect on the field.
"Now, Metal Devilzoa, attack the cocoon."
The monster stomped forward and was about to slice the cocoon it disappeared.
"What happened?"
"It was my Sub-Space Matter Transfer Device (Interdimensional Matter Transporter). It lets me remove a monster from play for a turn."
"You saved your cocoon, but your bug is weaker now. I noticed how whenever it was the only insect on the field its attack went from 2000 to 1000 so attack."
The monster changed direction and slashed the Arsenal Bug.

A blue machine with two barrel cannons on its shoulders appeared.
"I also activate Frontline Base which lets me summon a Union monster of level four or lower in a main phase. Now Metal Devilzoa will attack that cocoon."
"I don't think so. I activate DNA Surgery which lets me change the type of all monsters on the field. I choose to make them all Insects. So remember when you mentioned the Insect Barrier working only on bugs? Guess what? Now all your monsters are bugs."

"Leghul, attack again."

Cy: 5050
"Nothing you have can stop my moth."
"You sure about that? I sacrifice Gradius and the Scouter to summon Revolver Dragon."
Barrel Dragon

Machine/Effect
Dark
2600/2200
A big mechanical dragon with guns for arms and a nose appeared.
"What good is it when you can't attack, Sparky?"
"I may not be able to attack, but I can still use my dragon's effect. I flip three coins and if I get two heads I can destroy one of your monsters."
Cy flipped three coins, one came up heads another tails. The last kept spinning.
'I hope I get lucky,' Cy thought.
The coin finally landed on ... heads!
"Boo-yah! Say goodbye to your moth."
The dragon powered up its cannons and fired all three on the giant moth. The moth shrieked as it was shot down. (If you've seen YU-GI-OH you know what the moth sounds like)
"Noooo! You may have beaten my moth, Sparky, but I'm far from beaten. I'm not a leader for nothing. I have a backup plan."
"Really? Then show me, Bee. I'm done," Cy taunted.
"I sacrifice Roachball and Bloodsucking Flea to summon Metal Armored Bug."
Metal Armored Bug

"My monsters are machines again. Jinzo, attack Leghul."
The android held up his hands as energy built up between them, and then fired the ball at the pest.
Bee: 1850
"I should finish you off, but I wonder if you have another plan?"

(IQ: 2800/2400 — 3100/2700)
"She can't attack unless I sacrifice a monster first so I'll use an Army Ant."
The queen looked at the ant, bent down, and then ate it in one gulp.
"That is sick," cried a nauseous Cyborg.

(IQ: 2900/2700 — 2500/2700)
