"The next round will be in another hour" croquet said raising his hand.
"I will claim all your souls" laughed Eron waiting by the duel machine.
"Some one has to stop him"muttered croquet glancing at Jack and Jaden.
"Soon I will gather enough souls to rise the great beast" Muttered Croquet Eron as he lifting up a card with Zanes face with a look of fear.
"The next round will begin soon so prepare your decks" a mans voice said over the intercom system.
"Ok duelists be ready"croquet said.
One Hour Later
"Gather around so we can activate the machine"croquet said as the duelists walked up to the dieling selection machine.
"Just activate the damn machine"Jack said in anger as he glared daggers at Eron.
"O-okay" Croquet said as the machine tossed the balls in the air and spit out two more balls.
"The first duelists is number 1 Jaden yuki"Croquet said as Jaden walked up and activated his duel disk.
"Who am I facing" Jaden said looking at Eron.
"His opponent is" "oh no" Croquet said as he lifted the ball showing a 4.

"Good another strong duelist to crush"Eron said.
"Ill beat you" Jaden said activating his duel disk drawing five cards.
"Duel" both duelists said in unison as Eron drew his five cards .
"ill start this duel with a field card known as Sky scaper"Jaden said sliding the card as a huge city rose around the two duelists "Then ill start with my elemental hero Avian in attack mode"Jaden said as a man in a green jump suit with feathers and talons arose in front of jaden 1000/1000"Ill also lay one face down and that's it for me"Jaden said watching Eron draw his sixth card.
"Ill play the spell Graceful Charity so I draw three cards and I get to discard two and I will send these two to the grave" Eron said as Avian and the face down were destroyed.
"Hey what the hell just happened to my cards"Jaden said as his only defense disappeared.
"Well let me explain the two cards I just discarded to the grave were dark world monsters but of a different caliber they were assassin of the dark world which when discarded destroys one monster and the other was tactician of the dark world when discarded I can destroy one face down card on my opponents field" Eron said with a smirk"Then I will lay a couple face downs and activate the spell The Cheerful Coffin which lets me discard three monsters to the grave but I only have one so I discard him"Eron said as he drew another card.
"What are you doing you already drew"Jaden said .
"I realize that but when I discarded Broww hunts man of the dark world I get to draw a card also ill play the card I just drew my Vangaurd of the darkworld "Eron said as a hideous fiend appeared in front of Eron 1600/1300.
"Attack his life points directly with shroud blast"Eron said as Vangaurd lunged at Jaden with shadows in his hands striking him to the ground.
Jaden:2400
Eron:4000
"Go I've done enough damage to you'
"I draw and summon my Wild heart" Jaden said slamming the card down as a jungle man arose with a large sword on his back 1500/1600.
"Also my Wild Heart is unnafected by trap cards and since my Sky Scaper Field card is in play and my Wild heart has less points then your Vanguard he gains 1000 attack points"Jaden said as Wild Heart began to glow as his points shot up to 2500/1600.
"Attack his monster with Wild slasher"Jaden said as Wild heart ran at the Vangaurd pulling his sword slashing him in half.
Eron:3100
Jaden:2400
"I reveal my trap card called Forced Requisition now when ever I discard a card so do you"Eron said with a smirk
"Fine your move"Jaden said as Wild Hearts attack returned to normal.
"I draw and what a nice card it is I play Tribute to the doomed"Eron said.
"No that card will help Eron and hurt Jaden more ways then one"Pegasus said as straps wrapped around Wild heart destroying him.
"Oh don't forget my trap for every card I discard you must do the same and I discarded one do t the effect of tribute to the doomed"Eron said as jaden discarded a card to the grave.
"Oh by the way say hello to my Brron Mad King of the Dark world 1800/1400 "Eron said as a fiend with purple hair and a wicked grin appeared next to Vangaurd.
"Now my king attack him directly King Smacker "Eron said as the king leaped in the air and smacked Jaden to the ground.
Jaden:700
Eron:3100
"I wanna have some fun so Ill let you live this turn go"
"My draw and since your trap activated and I had to discard a card ill activate the spell Warrior Returning Alive so technically I lost nothing and I choose my Avian and play the spell double fusion I fuse twice with this card so ill Fuse Avian and Burstinatrix to Form the Flame Wingman"Jaden said as the two monsters appeared then jumped into a vortex and a monster stepped out with a dragon red arm and a green body "but im not done I still have one more fusion so Ill fuse Sparkman with Wingman to form my Shining Flare Wingman"Jaden said as a huge amount of light began to show and a monster stepped out of the light showing a white monster with angelic wings 2500/2000.
"Ahh I cant stand the light"Eron said covering his eyes.
"Good and here's the kicker my Flare wingman gets 300 attack points for every hero in my grave and to my count granting him 1500 additional points"Jaden said as Flare wingman started to stretch as his points rose to 4000/2000.
"Now attack his king with shining feather slash"Jaden said as Flare Wingman began shooting feathers of light at the king.
"Reveal my trap deduction of points my monster may be destroyed but I take no additional damage other then battle damage and I know your effect of your Fare wingman it takes the attack points of the monster it destroyed and deals them directly to the opponent so I prepared for it"Eron siad with a smirk as his points dropped rapidly.
Eron:900
Jaden:700
"Fine ill lay a face down monster in defense and one face down end my turn."Jaden said with a scowl.
"I draw and"Eron said Glancing at the card he just drew and began to laugh"Your finished I've drawn the card of your destruction"Eron said as pegasus and Yugi looked at Erin shock"no he's drawn the seal" they said in unison.
"I play the Seal of Oricalcos" Eron said as the neon seal began to form around them.
"You remember what this card does right don't you the loser of the duel loses his soul and my monsters gain 500 additional attack points and I gain 5 more monster zones "Eron laughed manically as the seal finished its form and the small seal appeared on Erons forehead.
"Now I play card of sanctity now we draw till we have six cards so draw and be thankful so I draw five and you draw five"eron said as jaden and Eron drew there new cards.
"Perfect I play the spell Monster Reborn to ressurect my Brron King of the Dark world"Eron said as the monster reappeared next to Vangaurd"now gain your power boost"Eron said as Vangaurd and Brrons attack went up Brron 2300/1400 Vangaurd 2100/1300."Then I play yet anbother Cheerful Coffine"Eron said as he slid two cards in the grave as another Vngaurd appeared next to the other vangaurd gaining the power boost 2100/1300"Oh yeah by Flarewingman"Eron said as the shining hero shattered leaving Jaden wide open"Now ill lay one face down and die Jaden attack my mighty beasts"Eron said as the monsters lunged at jaden to only be thrown back to Erons field.
"What happened you should be dead by now unless"eron said looking at the face down card flipping up.
"Say hello to my Negate attack and what it does well exactly what it says negates your attack and ends your battle phase"Jaden said with a smirk as it shattered"what happened"
"Oh forgot to mention my face down Bear trap card this destroys one card used against my monster now where was I oh yeah now I remember attack finish this duel this duel is over"Eron said as the vangaurd slashed the monster and the other two monsters slashed at jaden slamming him to the ground.
"This duel is over"eron said as he began to turn away "Hey I still have points left"Jaden said struggling to get up.
"But how I attacked you directly"Eron said in shock.
"Well yeah your right but the monster you destroyed was my winged Kuriboh and when he is destroyed I take no damage this turn"jaden said with a grin as he pulled the card up to slide it in the grave"Thanks little guy you saved my butt right then"Jaden said to the card as it winked at him.
"Fine Go"
"My draw and its time to get my game on I play monster reborn and resurrect my Wingman"Jaden said as the red and green hero appeared next to Jaden 2100/1600.

"But you cant special summon it I dicarded it so it cant come to the field" Jaden said looking a little worried.
