*Atlantis City, Hotel Lobby, 2:10 pm. LST*
Derek: Where the Hell is Colin?
Team Rose had all met in the Lobby. Their duel with Team Dark World is at 3 and Derek decided to have the team meet an Hour earlier to go over Strategy…the one problem was Colin wasn't in there yet.
Derek: If he's still sleeping I'm going to kick his Ass SO HARD! ! !
Ali: Give him a break. He's been having trouble sleeping lately.
Derek: That's no excuse to sleep in until 2.
Colin: Yaaaaaaaawn! I'm up.
Colin finally showed up and he looked freaking exhausted.
Colin: Yeah, I'm here, so let's talk and stuff.
Derek: Okay, quick review! Our duel with Team Dark World is a 4-on-4 single elimination match. Their members include Tristian, Sally, Molly and Boris, the leader, and they duel in that order, too. Tristian and Boris are the best duelists, so if we beat Tristian first, we might have a good chance of taking out the other two members. So, I think we should start out strong, but keep our best duelist as our closure.
Colin: Oh, cool, I'm the closure. Got it.
Derek: Actually… I was thinking Ali.
Colin: O_O What? !
Derek: I think she's the best duelist on the team.
Colin: You've got to be freakin' kidding me!
Ali: What's so unbelievable about that?
Colin: Because I'm the best duelist on the team!
Jeremy: Well, let's see. Let's compare your one NDC championship compared to her 22. Now let's compare your World Championships to hers. Oh, wait, you don't have one.
Colin: … Ouch, Jeremy.
Derek: Fine, Colin, you can go up before Ali. But we need someone who can start strong in a duel to go first.
Marc: Hey, let me do it. I can start strong.
Laura: Yeah, but then you choke.
Marc: Oh, come on, Laura. I bet I can take that guy out.
Derek: Okay, fine. And Sam, you can go second.
Sam: Wha? Me? Why?
Derek: Because you never dueled professionally before. We toss you out there and they won't know what to expect.
Sam: All right.
Derek: Okay, that's the order then. Marc, Sam, Colin and Ali.
Krystal: Hey, everybody! Tybalt's got a surprise for us!
Everyone looked over toward Krystal and Tybalt and Tybalt was holding a box.
Tybalt: Uh, Krystal suggested this, but I took the liberty of designing special outfits.
Colin: Outfits? Are you serious?
Tybalt: Oh, shut up.
Tybalt puts the box down, opens it and reveals a team jacket with the words Team Rose on the back with the Team insignia printed on it. The insignia resembled a rose with ten different colored petals.
Rita: Wow, that looks just like the Spirit Rose.
Colin: Nice.
Colin takes a jacket out of the box and holds it up.
Colin: This is just sweet.
Inside the Atlantis City stadium, Commissioner Ringford sat in his private suite and was sitting across from Raza while they were playing a game of chess.
Ringford moved a bishop and took one of Raza's pawns.
Raza: The pawns are doing exactly what they should.
Raza then moved a knight and took Ringford's bishop.
Raza: I just hope Boris plays that little card I gave him.
Ringford: What kind of card did you give him?
Raza: One that reflects his soul. It reflects the souls of all men, of course. It is a sin that they relish in too much.
Ringford then moved a rook. Raza then noticed that in the corner of the suite, he saw a small globe. He walked over and picked it up.
Raza: Hey, you don't mind if I steal this, do you?
Ringford: Why do you want it?
Raza: To be a map of the future.
Ringford smirked and Raza had the thing enveloped in green flames as it disappeared.
Raza: Well, I gotta get a better seat. I wanna watch the duel.
Raza then enveloped himself in green flames and disappeared. Ringford then looked at the chessboard and then out at the dueling arena.
Ringford: And so it begins. And once it ends, this world and the spirit world will both be mine.
Team Rose had arrived at the stadium and those who weren't dueling were sitting in the stands and those who were stood over by the arena. Cameras had surrounded the area as the Duel was about to commence, and there was Colorful Commentary by Radio and TV Personality Zack Rucker.
Zack: YOyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo! All you dueling Dudes and Babes out there, this is your MC for the Day, Zack Rucker, Here LIVE to show off a duel Between Team Dark World and Team Rose! This will be Totally Righteous! Alright, let's get this Game Rollin!
Marc had already taken the stage as did his opponent, Tristian.
Tristian: I hope you're ready for a beatdown!
Marc: No, I hope you're ready to be beat up!
Laura: GO MARC! KICK THIS GUY'S ASS!
Makoto: I'm sorry, could you be any louder?
Laura: Sure I can! MAAAAAAAAARC!
In his suite, Ringford was holding a glass of wine and the glass shattered. Meanwhile, on the side of the arena, Boris was watching and was talking with Tristian.
Boris: We can't afford to lose this. They mock us by thinking we're weak. Show them otherwise.
Tristian: Don't worry, I got this.
Marc (LP 4000): You ready to duel or what?
Tristian (LP 4000): *draws* I summon Dark Ice Glacial Shield (Lv.4 0/2250) in defense mode!
A medium-sized glacier appeared on Tristian's side of the field.
Tristian: Then I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Marc: *draws* I summon Strategist of the Ice Barrier (Lv.4 1600/1600) in attack mode! Then, I'll set two cards face-down!
Tristian: *draws* Now, I activate Glacial Shield's effect! During my Standby Phase, I can select one Water or Dark monster in my deck with less defense points than it and add it to my hand!
Tristian selects his card and his deck was auto-shuffled.
Tristian: Then, I release Glacial Shield to summon Mobius, the Frost Monarch (Lv.6 2400/1000)! And when he's Tribute Summoned, I can select up to 2 Spell or Trap Cards and destroy them!
Marc's face-down cards were both destroyed.
Tristian: But before the attack proceeds, I activate my face-down Trap Perfect Ice Sculpture! This creates an Ice Sculpture Token with the same Level, Type, Attack and Defense points and Attribute! Then I activate Graceful Charity to draw 3 more cards and discard 2! *draws and discards* Then I activate the Spell Preserved In Ice! This allows me to bring back a monster from my Graveyard, but it can't attack or switch battle positions! I choose to bring back the Tuner monster Dark Ice Trilobite (Lv.2 200/200)!
Incased in a massive glacier was a somewhat fossilized bug.
Tristian: But I don't plan to attack with him, I plan to tune! I now tune Dark Ice Trilobite with my Ice Sculpture Token to Synchro Summon Dark Ice Dragon (Lv.8 3000/2000)
An Ice Dragon Flew Down onto the Arena with Malice intent. Once it touched down the entire floor of the arena turned to ice.
Tristian: Now, Dark Ice Dragon, Destroy his Strategist of the Ice Barrier. Dark Blizzard Flare!
The Dark Ice Dragon fired a Blue Flame at the Strategist inflicting 1400 points of damage to Marc.
Tristian: Now Mobius will attack You Directly!
Mobius charged toward Marc and punched him, dealing out 2400 points of damage. The glass looked like it shattered and water splashed up. It appeared that Marc fell through the glass and into the ocean.
Laura: MARC!
Tristian: What the hell…?
When the smoke cleared, Marc was kneeling up and hovering over the water that looked like it was disturbed.
Marc (LP 200): Whoa! This must be that Duel Tower Ringford designed.
Ringford: *thinks: Perfect. The test run is going very well.*
Marc stood up and dusted himself off.
Marc: *draws* All right, let's see if I can come back from this. I activate the Spell Card Medallion of the Ice Barrier! This allows me to add 1 Ice Barrier monster from my Deck to my hand! Then, I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 more cards! *draws 2 cards* Then I activate the Spell Card Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier! Here's how it works: I show you three different Ice Barrier monsters in my hand, and then I can select 1 card you control and destroy it. Then I can Special Summon any Ice Barrier monster from my hand! So, I destroy your Dark Ice Dragon!
Marc revealed three Ice Barrier monsters in his hand: Dewdark of the Ice Barrier, Dance Princess of the Ice Barrier and General Grunard of the Ice Barrier. A triangle appeared where Marc and Tristian were dueling and a blizzard started within that triangle. The blizzard destroyed Dark Ice Dragon and as the blizzard subsided, Marc summoned General Grunard of the Ice Barrier (Lv.8 2800/1000).
Marc: But that's not all! Since that was a Special Summon, I can Normal Summon the Tuner monster Dewdark of the Ice Barrier (Lv.2 1200/800)! Then I activate General Grunard's ability! I can summon another Ice Barrier monster in addition to my usual Normal Summon, so I now summon Dance Princess of the Ice Barrier (Lv.4 1700/900)! Now, General Grunard will attack Mobius!
General Grunard pulled out an ice sword and slashed Mobius with it, destroying it and inflicting Tristian with 400 points of damage.
Tristian (LP 3600): Since Dark Ice Dragon was destroyed, 3 Ice Tokens (Lv.1 0/0) appear on my field in defense mode!
Marc: Then Dewdark and Dance Princess will destroy two of them!
Dewdark and Dance Princess destroyed two of the Ice Tokens, leaving only one left.
Marc: Since I have no other cards in my hand, I'll end my turn!
Tristian: *draws* *thinks: Damn! There's nothing else I can do, except this!* I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!
Marc: *draws* Time to end this! Dance Princess destroy that last Ice Token!
Dance Princess threw her chakrams at the last Ice Token and destroyed it.
Tristian: I activate the Trap Infinite Prison! By sending one card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can select a monster in my Graveyard and Set it down as a Spell Card!
Tristian discards a card in his hand and places Mobius in the Spell and Trap Card Zone.
Marc: Now, Dewdark and Grunard will attack you directly!
Grunard and Dewdark joined attacks and reduced Tristian's Life Points to 0.
Tristian (LP 0): Since the turn's not over yet, I can activate my face-down Quickplay Spell Quick Token! This summons a Quick Token (Lv.1 0/0) to the field in defense mode!
Marc (LP 200): Well then, that's game, you lose!
Laura: Yay, Marc! I love you! That's my boyfriend out there!
Tristian left the arena and went up to Sally, who was getting ready to duel.
Tristian: Sally, I left you a pretty good combo. Use it wisely.
Sally: I will, don't you worry.
Sally then ran out onto the field, ready to duel. In the Stands, Raza stood at the very highest seat in the stadium and watched the duel.
Raza: *Thinks: They better play that card, or I'm going to be really upset.*
Raza was shuffling a deck of Cards in his hands, and a dark Aura started to radiate from them. Sally drew her cards and was ready to duel.
Sally: Alright here I go! *Draws* First I'll destroy Infinite Prison to add Mobius the Frost Monarch to My Hand. Then I'll sacrifice the Quick Token to Summon Mobius to the Field! Then I'll activate the Spell Assistance of the Monarchs! This allows me to Special Summon a Monarch Card from my hand, but treat it as a Tribute summon, And I Summon Zaborg the Thunder Monarch (Lv.5 2400/1000)! And when he's Tribute Summoned, I can destroy 1 monster on the field and I choose your General Grunard!
Zaborg sent an electric blast from its hand and shot it at General Grunard, destroying him.
Sally: Now Zaborg will destroy Dewdark. Thunder Blast!
Zaborg fired a bolt of lightning from his fists that Struck Dewdark and destroyed him. The Lightning than ricocheted off and struck the wall just below the stands where the audience were sitting. The Wall was blown away and the audience started to freak out at the destruction being caused. Raza was just laughing.
Raza: Hahaha! What Frightened little children they all are. The worst part is that this is the reality of the world they live in. Pointless destruction caused by others' actions. They should wake up out of their cozy little sheltered lives and see the truth! But no they just look away and watch a stupid little card game to escape their reality. What arrogant little bastards!
Marc (LP 0): Dang, not even a chance to counter attack.
Marc went back to the area and saw Sam Getting ready.
Sam: Now I gotta Be Impressive now!
Colin: You? Impressive? Yeah right.
Sam: I'll show you!
Ali: Good luck Sam.
Sam blushed and Gave her a confident thumbs up and went onto the stage, He avoided the Hole in the ground caused by Mobius' earlier attack and he drew his cards.
Sam (LP 4000): You ready for a Real duel Babe?
Sally: Why? You gonna surrender and have Ali duel?
Sam: No! You're Dueling me! *Draws* *Thinks: Ok I have Dance Princess of the Ice barrier on the field…that ain't gonna help. So let's see…* I'll discard 2 Level 4 Machine-type monsters from my hand to Special Summon Machina Fortress (Lv.7 2500/1600)! Then, he'll attack Zaborg!
Machina Fortress aimed its cannon at Zaborg and shot a massive beam at it, destroying it and inflicting 100 points of damage to Sally.
Sam: I'll set two cards face-down to end the turn!
Sally (LP 3900): *draws* I'll summon Dark Wolf (Lv.4 1800/1000) and I'll Tribute it to special Summon Dark Werewolf (Lv.8 2800/2000)!
First a Shadow of a Wolf appeared on the field but then turned into a Shadow of a Werewolf with sharp claws and Fangs.
Sally: And he'll attack your Machina Fortress!
Sam: I activate the Trap Threatening Roar! This stops you from declaring any attacks this turn!
Sally: I'll end my turn with a face-down card!
Sam: *draws* First, I'll activate Card Destruction to force us to discard our entire hands and draw the same amount we discarded!
They both discard their hands and draw more cards.
Sam: I activate the Spell Soul Release to remove 5 monsters in my Graveyard from play! *removes 5 monsters from play* Then, I'll activate my face-down Trap Return from a Different Dimension! Now I can bring back Machina Gearframe (Lv.4 1800/0), Red Gadget (Lv.4 1300/1500) and Cyber Dragon (Lv.5 2100/1600)! That's an all-star line-up, right? But wait, here comes the closure!
Makoto: What's with the football terminology?
Rita: It's baseball. A closure is a pitcher who comes out to win the game.
Makoto: Oh, really? I don't know that much about sports.
Sam: Now, with Cyber Dragon on the field, I can send him and other Machine monsters to the Graveyard to Special Summon the Chimeratech Fortress Dragon (Lv.8 0/0)!
Colin: Nice, Sam!
Sam: For each monster I sent to the Graveyard to summon him, he gains 1000 attack points! I used Cyber Dragon, Machina Gearframe, Machina Fortress and Red Gadget! That's four monsters and 4000 attack points! Now he'll attack your Dark Werewolf!
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon charged up energy in its body and mouth and it fired that blast at Dark Werewolf.
Sally: I activate the Trap Magic Cylinder! This will take your attack and deflect the damage to you!
Fortress Dragon's attack went through one of the Cylinders and came out of the other one and it headed right toward Sam.
Sam: I activate the Quickplay Spell De-Fusion! This returns a Fusion Monster to my Extra Deck and summons all the Fusion Material Monsters from my Graveyard!
Chimeratech defuses, but the whizzed by him and blew up another wall, right by Colin, Ali and Marc.
Colin: Heaven almighty, Sam! Aim a little closer to us next time, why don't ya? !
Sam: Hey, it wasn't my fault! *thinks: But what a huge mistake, and now I don't have anything strong enough to take out that Dark Werewolf. Most of my monsters were Special Summoned in defense mode, but I still got Machina Fortress.* Machina Fortress, attack Mobius!
Machina Fortress attacked Mobius and destroyed him, inflicting 100 points of damage to Sally.
Sam: I'll switch Dance Princess into defense mode and end my turn!
Sally (LP 3800): *draws* First, I'll activate Monster Reborn to bring back Zaborg the Thunder Monarch! Then I'll activate my Fairy Meteor Crush! I'll equip it to him so he can inflict piercing damage! Then, I'll activate another Equip Spell, Heartbreaker, to Dark Werewolf!
Sam: Oh, damn!
Sam: Now Zaborg will attack your Machina Gearframe!
Zaborg destroyed Machina Gearframe, inflicting 2400 points of damage to Sam's Life Points.
Sally: And Now, Dark Werewolf will attack you directly!
The Dark Werewolf jumped over all other monsters and slashed Sam across the chest inflicting 2800 points of damage.
Sam (LP 0): We're not done yet!
Sally: That's 2 down!
Boris and Tristan were watching the duel as Sam went back to bring out the next duelist.
Tristan: Alright! Way to Go Sal!
Boris: It was wise of you to convince me to bring your girlfriend onto the team.
Tristan: She's the best I know, other than you Boris.
Boris: Do you think she would leave if she received a better offer to join a better team?
Tristan: What? No, not Sally.
Boris: I hope your right.
Sam returned to the others and Colin was already to go.
Colin: Nice job, Sam. You did good.
Sam: Are you kidding? I barely touched her.
Colin: I know, I was hoping you'd do just that.
Sam: Huh?
Colin: Now I'm gonna show you why I'm supposed to be the closure instead of little Miss French Braid over there.
Ali: Are you still complaining about that? ! You are such a child!
Colin: Yeah, I'm a child who's about to kick some ass!
Colin got his Duel Disk on and jumped onto the stage.
Zack: Now Colin Kennat takes the stage! Will he be able to even the score, or will Sally take a third victim?
Colin (LP 4000): I hope you're ready, French Fry, it's my move! *draws* *thinks: Thanks for the Cyber Dragon, bro! It's nice!* I activate the Spell Power Bond! This is like Polymerization exclusively for Machines! I now fuse the Cyber Dragon on my field with the two in my hand to summon the Cyber End Dragon (Lv.10 4000/2800)! And thanks to Power Bond, his attack is doubled, so its attack is now 8000!
Sally: 8000? !
Colin: That's right, now Cyber End Dragon, attack Dark Werewolf! Super Strident Blaze!
Cyber End Dragon's three heads spewed a blue, laser-like fire at Sally's Dark Werewolf and destroyed it, reducing Sally's Life Points to 0.
Zack: Yoooooo! It's a one-hit wonder! Yo!
Colin: Next!
Sally went back to her team and she looked sad and felt even worse.
Sally: Sorry, there was nothing I can do.
Tristan: Don't worry about it Sal. You did great. And because of Power Bond's Effect he'll take damage equal to his Cyber End Dragons attack.
Molly: Not Right away he won't.
Molly, another member of Team Dark world got her Deck and Duel disk ready.
Tristan: What are you talking about Molly?
Molly: Becaue He beat Sally, I must take my turn. NDC rules state when an opponent is defeated, the effects of all cards are negated until the next turn. So, he won't feel Power Bond's effect until he officially ends his turn. And with his Cyber End Dragon, he can end this duel in two turns without losing a single Life Point.
Boris: You better stop him.
Molly: I can try.
Molly then got up onto the stage and drew her 5 cards.
Molly (LP 4000): *draws* I activate Swords of Revealing Light! This will keep you from attacking me for 3 turns! Then I'll set one card and a monster face-down! Your move!
Colin: *draws* *thinks: Damn! So much for winning this thin fast! Oh well, it's more fun this way.* I'll sacrifice my Red Gadget to summon Spell Canceller (Lv.5 1800/1600)! And with him out, all Spell Cards are negated, such as your Swords and my Power Bond, which makes me free to attack you! Cyber End Dragon, attack her face-down monster!
Cyber End Dragon attacked Molly's face-down monster and destroyed it.
Molly: You just destroyed Dark Knight Einrich (Lv.4 1600/2000)! When he's destroyed, all battle damage I take this turn becomes 0!
Colin: Oh, well, I can still destroy your Zaborg. Machina Fortress, attack Zaborg!
Machina Fortress destroyed Zaborg, but Molly took no damage due to her knight's effect.
Molly: I activate the Trap Two-Pronged Capture! If you destroyed 2 of my monsters this turn, I gain control of the monster with the highest attack power on your field! And I think your Cyber End Dragon has the highest attack, doesn't it?
Colin: Oh, damn.
Cyber End Dragon then switched fields.
Colin: I'll end my turn by setting two cards face-down!
Molly: Pity, I was hoping for something more from a great duelist such as you.
Colin: Aw, shucks, you're making me blush.
Molly: My uncle told me all about your rare Machine cards. I wanted to see them all for myself.
Colin: Your uncle has great taste. Who is he?
Molly: Clyde Edwards.
Colin: … Oh, double damn.
Molly: Don't worry. I'm not part of his "organization". I'm just an honorable duelist with no malicious intent, whatsoever. *draws* Except right now, Cyber End Dragon, attack!
Colin: I activate Mirror Force! Now your attack goes right back at ya!
Cyber End Dragon's attack was reflected right back at it and it was destroyed.
Molly: Good move, but mine is better! I activate Monster Reborn to bring back your Cyber End Dragon!
Colin: Lucky for me its attack goes back down to 4000 then.
Molly: I end my turn with one card face-down!
Colin: *draws* I summon the Tuner monster Robotic Alchemist (Lv.1 500/500)! Now, I tune Robotic Alchemist with Machina Fortress to Synchro Summon Dragonic Machine King (Lv.8 3500/2700)! And since I used Robotic Alchemist to Synchro Summon a Machine-type Synchro Monster, I can destroy one Spell or Trap you control! And I'll destroy your face-down card!
Molly's face-down card, Gravity Bind, was destroyed.
Colin: Then I activate my face-down Call of the Haunted to bring back Machina Fortress! And I count 2 Machines on the field, so Dragonic Machine King gains 1000 attack points! But he also gains 500 more for Cyber End Dragon! So now his attack power is at 5000! And he'll attack your Cyber End Dragon!
Dragonic Machine King destroyed Cyber End Dragon and inflicted 1000 points of damage to Molly.
Colin: And now my other monsters are free to declare a direct attack!
Molly (LP 3000): I play Battle Fader (Lv.1 0/0)! When you declare a direct attack, I can summon Battle Fader from my hand to end the Battle Phase!
Colin: Fine, I'll finish my turn with a face-down!
Molly: *draws* I'll sacrifice Battle Fader to summon Caius the Shadow Monarch (Lv.6 2400/1000)! And when he's Tribute summoned, I can remove one card on the field from play and if it's a Dark monster, you take 1000 points of damage! Since you control no Dark monsters, I'll just remove Dragonic Machine King from play!
Dragonic Machine King vanished into thin air.
Molly: Now, Caius will attack Spell Canceller!
Cauis charged up a shadow ball, threw it at Spell Canceller and destroyed it, inflicting 600 points of damage to Colin.
Molly: Now that that thing's out of the way, I activate the Field Spell Yami! This increases the attack power of all Fiends and Spellcasters by 200 and reduces the attack of Fairies by the same amount! Oh yeah, my Sowrds are back in effect until the End of your next turn! That ends my turn!
Colin (LP 3400): *draws* I activate Premature Burial to bring back Robotic Alchemist at the cost of 800 Life Points! Then I summon Mechanicalchaser (Lv.4 1850/850)! Now, I tune Robotic Alchemist with Mechanicalchaser and Machina Fortress to Synchro Summon the ultimate weapon of mass destruction! MACHINE OVERLORD!
The stadium shook as the mighty Machine Overlord came out of the ground.
Colin (LP 2600): And now I use Robotic Alchemist's effect to destroy your Swords!
The Swords of Revealing Light were destroyed and Colin's monsters were free to attack again.
Colin: Now, Machine Overlord, attack Caius! ATOMIC CRUSH!
Machine Overlord delivered a massively devastating punch to Caius, destroying him and inflicting 1400 points of damage to Molly.
Colin: And thanks to Yami, Dance Princess gains a slight boost in power since she's a Spellcaster! Dance Princess, attack!
Dance Princess attacked Molly directly, reducing her Life Points to 0.
Molly (LP 0): Son of a…
Molly walked off the stage and saw Boris getting ready.
Molly: Sorry, Boris, I-
Boris walked right past her, pushing her a little bit to get her out of the way and made his way to the stage.
Molly: What the hell was that about? !
Boris (LP 4000): I will end this duel with my own hands! You will not make me look like a fool!
Colin: Dude, who's making you look like a fool? We're just having a duel.
Boris: You will not fool me! I know about your sinister game! *draws*Since I have Yami on the field, I can summon my very best monster! I Special Summon Kage no Yami (Lv.1 0/0)!
A black sphere came out of the dark abyss of the Yami Field Spell.
Colin: What's so special about that card?
Boris: When he's Special Summoned, he gains the stats and abilities of one of your monsters!
The black sphere transformed into the shape of Machine Overlord, right down to the last detail.
Colin: You've got to be kidding me!
Boris: No, I'm not kidding. I now activate the Spell Card Illegal Hand! This forces me to remove all cards in my hand from play! And for each card I removed from play, Kage no Yami gains 300 more attack points! Now, Kage no Yami, destroy Machine Overlord!
Kage no Yami attacked in the same way as Machine Overlord and destroyed him, inflicting Colin with 1400 points of damage.
Boris: Hahahaha! Your move, but it will do you no good!
Colin (LP 1200): *draws* I play the Spell Monster Reborn to bring back Machine Overlord! Then I'll use his special ability! I remove a Machine monster from play, and he gains half of its attack points until the turn's end! I remove Cyber End Dragon from play so he gains 2000 extra attack points! Now, Machine Overlord, claim your vengeance!
Machine Overlord, with his newfound strength, destroyed Kage no Yami and inflicted Boris with 600 points of damage.
Colin: And now Dance Princess will attack you directly!
Dance Princess attacked Boris directly and inflicted him with 1900 points of damage.
Colin: That ends my turn!
Rita: Go, Colin! End this duel!
Laura: Use that Dance Princess! That is one good card!
The crowd was starting to cheer Colin on as he was almost finished. Raza just kept watching the duel and smirked as he noticed that this made Boris even angrier.
Boris (LP 1500): *thinks: Listen to them! Ugh! This is MY time to win! I will not let this slip away!* Now that your turn has ended, all the cards I removed from play with Illegal Hand return to my hand! *draws* *Thinks: It's Raza's Card! …Fine!* I will Now Remove EVERY CARD IN MY HAND AND DECK FROM PLAY!
Raza: *Thinks: Yes!*
Colin: What? Why would you do something so Stupid?
Boris: So I can win! I summon Pride Sublimium (Lv.0 4400/5000)!
An angelic, devil-like creature appeared on Boris' side of the field. A dark aura had surrounded the aura with an all-too-familiar feeling.
Colin: *thinks: This is just like Necros and Apocalypse!*
As the card was summoned, it felt like it was draining energy from someplace.
*New Domino City, Undisclosed Location*
The three Emperors of Yliaster sat on their high chairs when they finally noticed that their circuit was becoming undone.
Jakob: What's happening?
Primo: The circuit's unraveling!
Lester: All our hard work! What's doing this? !
The Yliaster were then shown a vision of the duel happening right now and they noticed that all the circuit's energy was being drained by Pride Sublimium.
Primo: That monster… !
The Yliaster were shown another vision of Raza, sitting in the stands, smirking. He then looked up as if he knew the Yliaster were watching. He smiled at them and waved hello.
Lester: That snake!
Jakob: He will pay for this.
Back at Atlantis City, the duel continued.
Boris: As long as Pride is on the field, you can't declare an attack! Plus, he's unaffected by all card effects!
Colin: No way! He's too powerful!
Boris: Exactly, which will allow me to win! Attack Dance Princess of the Ice Barrier!
Pride flew across the stage and was about to attack Dance Princess.
Colin: Wait, I have a Trap!
Boris: Your Trap won't affect my Pride!
Colin: I don't plan for it to, 'cause I activate Covering Fire! When a monster's attacked while I control another monster, I can increase the attack target's attack by the monster's attack! Now, Machine Overlord, assist Dance Princess now!
Machine Overlord threw his arm in Pride's path and protected Dance Princess as her attack power jumped from 1900 to 5900. Dance Princess then jumped over Machine Overlord and struck Pirde with her chakrams, destroying it and reducing Boris' Life Points to 0.
Raza: It's almost symbolic. His own pride was his downfall.
Raza then disappeared into his wall of green flames. As the duel ended, the duel towers deactivated and the damage done from the battle were now nonexistent. Colin then went back to his team, where everyone seemed to have gathered now.
Colin (LP 1200): And that is why I deserve to be the closer, ladies and gentlemen!
Ali: Fine! Fine! I get it! You can close! Whatever!
Marc: Who are we dueling next? I'm feeling pretty good about this!
The team returned to their hotel where they had a toast to their small victory.
Colin: To all we defeated and all we shall defeat! Cheers!
Everyone: Cheers!
The celebration was interrupted by a large, old man in a white hood who just entered the room.
Jakob: Which one of you was the one who defeated Team Dark World today?
There was a moment of silence, as everyone seemed a little cautious about the old man.
Colin: That was me, old man. Why do you want to know?
Jakob: Come with me, I have much to speak with you.

Jakob: Did I say you had a choice?
Suddenly, Colin and Jakob just suddenly vanished out of thin air.
Rita: Colin! Oh, now I've got a bad feeling.
