While Yusei dueled with Puck the others watched in the box beside Oberon and Titania.

"Who do you think is going to win?" asked Oberon.

"At the moment, I'd say it's anybody's game." said Titania "As tricky as the Puck is, none of us are entirely omnipotent, not even you my lord."

"What does she mean by that?" whispered Leo.

"Even beings of pure magic have a weakness." replied Luna "Fairies are vulnerable to iron."

Suddenly the Baby Dragon Jack started growling something, at the end of his sentence he accidentally shot a ball of fire out of his mouth.

"What was that?" asked Mina.

"I don't know, I don't speak dragon." replied Trudge.

"Patrick!" said Oberon "Give them some assistance."

Suddenly a small male fairy with green skin, orange hair, and a long nose appeared.

"Gladly my lord. Please restate your sentence."

Jack made the same growling noises he made a moment ago.

"Translation…. Blah, blah, blah, I hate your pixie guts, go to hell, and if you don't change me back I'll shove some iron up your you know what."

"Is that really what he said?" asked Carly.

"I might have paraphrased."

"As I've said, we shall restore him once the duel is over." said Oberon.

"It's my turn." said Puck "And I think I'll summon the Innocent Infant Dragon in attack mode!"

(ATK: 200 DEF: 100)

"Aww, it's so cute!" said Luna.

"That's the idea." said Puck "It's so cute that no monster will ever attack it, but for an infant he does pack a little punch… Once per turn he can inflict 500 points of damage!"

The Innocent Infant Dragon opened its mouth and shot a fire ball at Yusei.

(Yusei: 3500)

"Maybe that dragon isn't so innocent after all." said Akiza.

"And my turn's not over yet. In addition to my Galloping Ghoul's ability to leap out of danger, he can also bypass enemy monsters and attack directly! Galloping Ghoul, attack!"

The Galloping Ghoul leapt up into the air and came down at Yusei.

"I don't think so, I activate my face down trap card, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!"

The ghoul was stopped in its tracks.

"Now it's my turn, and I summon Junk Synchron in attack mode!"

(ATK: 1300 DEF: 500)

"Don't forget Yusei, every time you summon a monster, my Annoying Gnomes spell card give me another gnome token."

(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"Whatever, next I activate the spell card Double Summon, so now I can summon Shield Warrior!"

(ATK: 800 DEF: 1600)

"Then I get another token."

(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"Well now I'm going to tune my Junk Synchron to my Speed Warrior, to synchro summon Junk Warrior! Let's rev it up!"

(ATK: 2300 DEF: 1300)

"Wait a minute… Shouldn't Puck get another token?" asked Rally.

"It doesn't count if the monster was summoned from the extra deck." said Titania.

"Next I'll activate the spell card Domino Effect. But before I can use it I need to destroy a monster. Junk Warrior, attack his Galloping Ghoul!"

"I don't think so, now I get to activate my monster's effect and flip a coin!"

Puck tossed the coin.

"What?!"

"Tails, you lose!" said Yusei.

Junk Warrior destroyed the ghoul with one blow.

(Puck: 2700)

"And now I can use Domino Effect, by sending my Shield Warrior to the graveyard, I can destroy your Innocent Infant Dragon!"

The carcass of the Galloping Ghoul fell back on the Innocent Infant Dragon, apparently smothering it.

"Impressive." said Oberon "Puck summons a monster that can't be selected as an attack target, and he manages to destroy it on his very next turn."

"That's my Yusei." said Akiza.

"It's my turn, and I think I'll play the spell card Titania's Blessing!"

"That's right, I have a card named after me." said the fairy queen.

"This spell card forces the both of us to discard our hands and draw six new cards."

"He's gonna be sorry he did that." thought Yusei "I was down to my last card and needed a new hand."

"Now once again, I'll summon the Shapeshifting Fairy!"

(ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000)

"As I'm sure you remember, I can shuffle it into my deck in order to special summon another monster from my deck whose level is equal to or lower than its own. And I think I'll summon the Bellowing Banshee!"

(ATK: 1800 DEF: 1000)

"Whoa… that's one creepy looking chick." said Crow.

"Now I'll activate her special ability, once per turn she can destroy one monster on the field."

The banshee opened her mouth and let out a horrible wail. Everyone in the stadium covered their ears. Meanwhile Yusei's Junk Warrior was destroyed.

"Fortunately for you my banshee's effect does come with a price. Now she can't attack this turn, and I take damage equal to your destroyed monster's level multiplied by 100."

(Puck: 2200)

"I'll end my turn by playing one card face down."

"It's my turn, and I summon Max Warrior in attack mode!"

(ATK: 1800 DEF: 800)

"Then I get another gnome token."

(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"Do I look scared? Now I'll remove the Skill Successor in my graveyard from play so my warrior gets an extra 800 attack points!"

(ATK: 2600)

"But there wasn't a Skill Successor in your graveyard!"

"Not until you played Titania's blessing."

"Oh yeah."

"Now Max Warrior, attack!"

Max Warrior charged at Puck's banshee.

"No so fast Yusei, I activate the trap card, Whoopie Monster!"

"Did he just say Whoopie Monster?" asked Carly.

"Now I get to flip a coin, heads."

Puck flipped the coin and smiled.

"I love it when I'm right."

Max Warrior hit the Banshee and then… POOOUUUFFFPP.

"I knew something like that was going to happen." said Trudge.

All the fairies in the stadium laughed.

"Now, not only do I not take any damage from that battle, but I also get to summon a monster from my deck that has a lower level than the one you destroyed, and I choose the Green Ghost!"

(ATK: 500 DEF: 0)

"And since your Max Warrior just destroyed one of my monsters, its attack, defense, and level are all cut in half."

(ATK: 900 DEF: 400 LV: 2)

"Now it's my turn. And think I'll play the spell card, A Wish with a Twist."

"Well… this outta be interesting." said Leo.

"Yusei Fudo, this spell card let's you pick one card from your deck, any card at all, and add it to your hand."

"What's the catch?" asked Yusei.

"That's up to you." said Puck smiling "I'd tell you more, but why spoil the surprise?"

Yusei wasn't in the mode for a surprise, but since he was dueling Oberon's jester he knew he had no choice. So he looked at the cards in his deck.

"Okay… I choose Road Synchron."

"Excellent, since you choose a monster card, you take damage equal to that monster's attack or defense points, whichever one is higher."

(Yusei: 1900)

"And just like that Puck takes the lead." said Mina.

"And I'm not done yet. Since my Green Ghost is a ghost, it can't be selected as an attack target, and it gains 500 extra attack points for every spell card in my graveyard. There's a reason played Titania's Blessing, because my hand was full of spell cards I didn't need. Now there are a total of six spells in my grave, so my ghost gets 3000 extra attack points!"

(ATK: 3500)

"He uses weak monsters in ways you'd never expect… Like me." thought Yusei.

"No! If that attack hit's Yusei will lose the duel!" said Rally.

"I don't think we need to worry about that." said Akiza.

"Why?"

"This duel is over! Green Ghost, attack Max Warrior!"

"I'm sorry Puck, but I think you forgot something, I activate my Scrap-Iron Scarecrow."

The Green Ghost's attack was blocked.

"Err…Yusei Fudo simply refuses to say die. But when this duel ends I'll be doing the victory dance, then I'll enjoy some delicious… Tai."

"Victory dance and then enjoy some Tai?"

"They can't all be good."
