"Ladies and gentlemen, with his brilliant strategies Jaden is keeping Billy and the mighty Uria Lord of Searing Flames at bay, but the question is for how long? For how long?!"
"Atti, you're my brother and I love you, but will you please shut up!" said Alexis.
"Hurry up and make your move slacker, these people haven't got all night!" said Billy.
"Are you still babbling about things as insignificant as what dorm I used to live in? You're even more childish than I thought."
"Just make your move so Elizabeth and I can have our happily ever after!"
"Someone is eager to lose. I play the spell card Pot of Greed to draw two cards, next I'll switch both Elemental Hero Heat and Lady Heat to defense mode, and summon Elemental Hero Knospe!"
(ATK: 600 DEF: 1000)
"Since I have more Elemental Heroes on my field besides Knospe, you can't select him as an attack target, and he can attack you directly!"
(Billy: 4300)
"And when Knospe deals damage his second effect activates, now he loses 100 defense points, but gains 100 attack points!"
(ATK: 700 DEF: 900)
"And now I'll activate the spell card Dark Designator! Now I get to declare the name of one card, and if it happens to be in your deck then it's automatically added to your hand, and I choose Hamon Lord of Striking Thunder!"
Billy took the card from his deck and added it to his hand.
"What is Jaden thinking?!" exclaimed Chazz "Why would he play a card that lets Billy bring a Sacred Beast card to his hand when he has everything he needs to summon it?!"
"He did what?!" asked Blair.
"And you're being so helpful why?"
"I'm not." said Jaden "I activate the spell card Exchange!"
"No! Not that!"
"Yes, that. Now we both get to take a card from our opponent's hand."
Jaden walked over to Billy and took Hamon from his hand.
"I'll take that, and you can take this." he said handing him Elemental Hero Ocean, the only card in his hand.
"That was brilliant." said Zane "Now as long as he keeps Hamon in his hand, Billy can't touch it."
"That's my Jaden." said Alexis.
"And now I'll end my turn, so Elemental Hero Lady Heat's effect activates dealing 200 points of damage to you for every Elemental Hero on my field."
(Billy: 3700)
"Err… Our hatred for you has made a bond between me and the Sacred Beasts Jaden, you can't keep Hamon from me forever!"
"Yeah sure, just make your move."
"I activate the effect of Archfiend's Oath, now by paying 500 life points I can guess the top card of my deck."
(Billy: 3200)
"And thanks to my Convulsion of Nature, I know that it is the continuous trap Cloak and Dagger. Now Uria, destroy his Lady Heat!"
Uria blasted Jaden's monster into nothingness.
"It's my turn! And I'll attack you directly again with Knospe!"
(Billy: 2500)
"Now he loses 100 defense points, and gains 100 more attack points!"
(ATK: 800 DEF: 800)
"It's my turn! And once again I'll pay 500 life points to activate Archfiend's Oath and draw Skill Drain!"
(Billy: 2000)
"Uria, attack!"
Uria blew away Jaden's Elemental Hero Heat.
"It's my turn again! First I'll switch Knospe to defense mode, next I'll place a card face down and play Mirage of Nightmare."
"It's my turn, I draw!"
"Now my Mirage activates, enabling me to draw until I have four cards in my hand, next I'll activate my face down Emergency Provisions to ditch Mirage and gain 1000 life points!"
(Jaden: 5000)
"You'll need them Jaden, I'll use Archfiend's Oath to draw Mirror Wall!"
(Billy: 1500)
"Uria, attack and destroy his Elemental Hero Knospe!"
Needless to say Jaden's monster went up in smoke.
"And with that I'll end my turn, and since there are seven cards in my hand I need to discard one, and I think I'll discard Mirror Wall so Uria gains another 1000 attack points."
(ATK: 6000)
"It doesn't matter how many points that thing has." said Syrus "Billy has still used up more than half his life points, and Jaden hasn't lost any!"
"Hmm… Maybe he doesn't need my cards after all." said Chumley.
"Okay Bill it's my turn, and I think I'll just summon a monster in defense mode."
Billy drew his card, and smiled.
"I activate Card Destruction, this forces us both to discard all the cards in our hands to the graveyard and draw cards equal to the amount of cards we discarded, and when monsters obtained via Exchange are sent to the graveyard, they are sent to their owner's graveyard, so you get back your Elemental hero, and I get back Hamon!"
"Not good." said Jesse.
"And since I just sent four trap cards to the graveyard, Uria gains 4000 more attack points!"
(ATK: 10,000)
"Next I activate the continuous spell card Recycle, and now I'll activate Monster Reincarnation, by discarding one card I can bring one monster card in my graveyard back from my graveyard to my hand, and I think you know which monster I want."
Hamon returned to Billy's hand.
"I told you nothing could break our bond of hatred, and since I sent Curse of Darkness to the graveyard with Monster Reincarnation, Uria gains 1000 more attack points!"
(ATK: 11,000)
"11,000 points?! That's nuts!" said Jasmine.
"And now I'll sacrifice Archfiend's Oath, Convulsion of Nature, and Recycle to summon Hamon Lord of Striking Thunder!"
(ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000)
"Hamon, attack and destroy his face down monster with Cerulean Sky Fire!"
Hamon blasted Jaden's monster destroying it.
"And as I'm sure you know, when Hamon destroys a monster in battle, you lose 1000 life points!"
(Jaden: 4000)
"The great Billy Jobs is making a comeback!" said Elizabeth over the speakers "And the crowd is electrified!"
The audience was silent.
"I said… The crowd is electrified!"
In response to Elizabeth's statement Hamon fired a mild blast of electricity at the audience.
"YAY!!!" they exclaimed.
"Ooo… I like that." said Billy.
"Nice special effect, but I've got one too. When my Dandylion is sent to the graveyard, I can summon two fluff tokens to take its place!"
(2x ATK: 0 DEF: 0)
"It's too bad they don't stand a chance against my Sacred Beasts! Uria, attack!"
Uria blasted one of Jaden's fluff tokens.
"It's my turn! I activate the spell card Monster Reborn, and I'll use it to bring back Hero Kid from the graveyard!"
(ATK: 300 DEF: 600)
"Let me guess, he was sent there when I played Card Destruction."
"Yes, and when he's special summoned, I can special summon every other Hero Kid in my deck."
(2x ATK: 300 DEF: 600)
"And I'll sacrifice two of my Hero Kids so I can summon Yubel!"
(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)
"Uba! Uba!"
Yubel waved at Sakura and turned to Jaden.
"Alright Jaden, let's go kick some sacred butt."
"I'll end my turn by sacrificing my last Hero Kid to keep Yubel in play."
"If you think your precious guardian angel will be enough to protect you, think again. I summon Phantom Skyblaster!"
(ATK: 1100 DEF: 800)
"And thanks to its special effect I can now summon two Skyblaster Tokens!"
(2x ATK: 500 DEF: 500)
"And since they're all fiends I can now sacrifice them to special summon my third and final Sacred Beast, Raviel, Lord of Phantasms!"
(ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000)
"Here we go again; I'm staring down all three Sacred Beasts for the third time."
"Bring it on." said Yubel.
"I know very well that if I attack your precious Yubel with any of my three beasts I'll only wipe myself out, but there is still presently one other target for me to pick. Hamon, destroy his final fluff token!"
Hamon blasted the fluff token away with its cerulean sky fire.
"And since I just destroyed another one of your monsters with Hamon, you lose another 1000 life points!"
(Jaden: 3000)
"And I'll end my turn with a face down."
"It's my turn, and I play Graceful Charity, this lets me draw three cards from my deck."
Jaden drew his cards.
"Okay, if this works I can end this duel right now."
"Well then by all means play it Jaden, these people haven't got all night."
"Okay… I play Revoke Fusion! By discarding a Polymerization card from my hand, I can send one monster in my fusion deck to the graveyard and special summon from my hand a fusion material monster that is listed on that card. I'll send Chaos Neos to the graveyard so that I can special summon my Elemental Hero Neos!"
(ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000)
"Next I play Miracle Fusion, and I'll use it to fuse the Neos on my field with the Elemental Hero Heat, Elemental Hero Ocean, Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, and Neo-Spacian Glow Moss, to summon Elemental Hero Divine Neos!"
(ATK: 2500 DEF: 2500)
"And now I'll activate the spell card Emergency Card Stash, since there are no other cards in my hand, I can now draw six cards from my deck, I just need another Hero…"
Jaden drew his cards.
"I summon Elemental Hero Avian!"
(ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000)
"And since you just normal summoned a monster, I can use Raviel's effect to summon a Phantasm token."
(ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000)
"And now I'll activate Divine Neos' special effect! By removing Elemental Hero Knospe from play, he gains his special effect and 500 attack points!"
(ATK: 3000)
"And since I have another Elemental Hero in play, Divine Neos can use Knospe's effect to attack you directly!"
Neos started to fly at Billy.
"I activate my face down trap, Divine Wrath! By discarding on card from my hand I can negate your monster's effect and automatically destroy it!"
Everyone watched in horror as Neos was struck by lightening and sank into the lava.
"Oh boy… I guess I'll end my turn by sacrificing Avian to keep Yubel in play."
"It's my turn, and I'll use my Pot of Greed to draw two cards. Next I'll place a card face down. And now I'll remove Uria, Hamon, and Raviel from play in order to summon the ultimate Sacred Beast… Armityle the Chaos Phantom!!!"
(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)
Everyone's jaws dropped when Armityle emerged.
"What in the world?!"
"But… It's got no attack points." said Hassleberry.
"Don't worry, Armityle's bite is as bad as his bark. You can't destroy it in battle, and during my turn its attack points increase to 10,000!"
(ATK: 10,000)
"Next I play the equip spell card Unholy Powers from beyond!"
"Why don't I like the sound of that?" asked Jaden.
"This card allows Armityle to copy the special effect of one of the Sacred Beasts I have removed from play to summon it once per turn, and this turn I choose Raviel, Lord of Phantasms, and I'll use it to tribute the token I have out to give its points to Armityle!"
(ATK: 11,000)
"Eleven thousand?!" exclaimed Mindy.
"But it doesn't matter if its attack points are eleven million." said Alexis "As long as Yubel is in play, if Billy attacks her he'll just wipe himself out."
"I know your little guardian angel will protect you from even Armityle's assault Jaden, so I'll just have to remove her from the equation… I play the spell card Raigeki!!!"
"Oh no!"
"Oh yes!"
Yubel screamed in pain as she was struck by lightning from the sky. When the smoke cleared she was gone, and Jaden could hear Sakura crying. He also saw that both Billy and Armityle's eyes were glowing.
"We've both waited a long time for this Jaden, the ultimate Sacred Beast and I… are about to turn your game off… Armityle… ATTACK!!!"
Armityle fired its attack at Jaden and there was a huge explosion of dark energy.
"NO!"
"JADEN!!!"
"MWAH-HA-AH-AH-HA-AH-AH!!!"
