"ARE YOU READY?" the MC shouted over the PA system.

The crowd in the stadium roared that it was.

It was the day of the Ultimate Duel. Team Satellite was on the podium along with Team 5D's.

"I can't believe it... it really is them!" Ali said, barely keeping himself from jumping up and down.

"Will you behave. Be cool, calm, collected." Burdok said. This coming from the guy who was eyeing up Aki.

"Ahem." Jasmine said, when she noticed this. "Need I remind you, she's with Yusei?"

"Sorry..." Burdok said, taking a last glance at Aki.

"Besides guys we need to focus. Try and remember every duel that these guys have been in... try and remember each card they've used. That way we can maybe anticipate their strategies." Jaffa said.

Jack Atlas heard this latest statement.

"Hmmph. No-one can anticipate the strategy of Jack Atlas! My power is unimaginable. I cannot be defeated."

"Except by Yusei." Rua said, before Jack took a swing at him.

"Nice to know their team's a little dysfunctional as well." Stuart gave a little chortle.

Yusei nodded.

"But our team's dysfunctionality, is part of our strength. Our differences make us who we are, and through that gives us our power." he said.

"Wow. That sounded like a fortune cookie. Yusei's got a lot of speeches doesn't he?" asked Susan.

This statement made Team 5D's laugh a little.

"Well I suppose I do tend to make a few speeches now and then." Yusei admitted.

"A few? Yusei I swear sometimes you just come up with these speeches in your spare time and your sleep." Crow laughed.

"Just wondering, where have you guys been? There was a really big mystical mess, and since you guys were out of town, we decided to clean it up for you." Jaffa said.

"Well we were having a little R and R over in Nazca."

"Ahem. Now that the team's have familiarised themselves with one another...let's see who is going to duel who!" The MC declared activating the KC randomiser machine.

The three headed Blue Eyes White Dragon machine spun all the balls in ins container.

Then two balls ejected out of the machine, one out of each of the side heads.

"And the first pair up is...Jaffa Jeffers, and Crow Hogan!"

Jaffa and Crow both looked at each other.

"A battle of the sky monsters... should be fun." Jaffa said.

"Let's see how your harpies handle the Blackfeathers! I won't go easy on you." Crow said.

"The next pairing is..." The MC said, looking at the machine.

"Ali Jeffers and Rua!"

Jaffa held his head in his right hand.

"Oh god, the two most hyper duellists and they paired them against each other..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ali asked.

"You're going down little man!" Rua declared, not giving anyone a chance to explain to Ali the problem.

"In your dreams!" Ali retorted.

"Ahem." the MC coughed.

"The next pairing is... Burdok McCulloch and Jack Atlus!"

"I will overwhelm you with the power of my deck!" Jack declared.

"You want power Jack? I'll give you more power than you can handle." replied Burdok.

"The next pairing is... Susan and Ruka!"

"The two children of light." Stuart muttered. "One with the Duel Spirits, the other with the element of light itself..."

"Should be interesting to see how that goes." Yusei agreed.

The two girls looked at each other.

"Good luck." Susan said.

"You too." Ruka said.

"The second last pairing is... Jasmine and Aki Izayoi!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, you may want to take cover with that portion of this tournament." Jaffa joked, before getting punched in the arm by Jasmine.

Aki just looked at her team-mates who all started to whistle innocently, as if the thought of saying anything had never crossed their minds.

"And finally we have Stuart James, paired against Yusei Fudo!"

Stuart and Yusei both just looked at each other, grasped arms, and just nodded at each other.

"Now that the pairings have been determined...lets get ready to duel! If all the contestants could take their positions?" the MC asked.

Jaffa, Jasmine, Stuart, Crow, Aki, and Yusei all went to their D-Wheels, whilst the other 6 took position across from each other on the main Duel Arena floor.

"Hey, let's see if your copy cat Blackbird can keep up with the real deal." Crow said, when he saw Jaffa's D-Wheel.

"Oh, I assure you, Falcon is far superior to your Blackbird." Jaffa replied. "And it isn't a copy. It just happens to look like your D-Wheel."

"The Duels will take place straight after one and other. First duel will be Jaffa and Crow, then it will be Jasmine and Aki, then Ali and Rua, then Susan and Ruka, then Burdok and Jack, and finally Stuart and Yusei. The second duel will commence as soon as one person's life points reach zero. Whoever is the winner of the duel, their team mate will automatically go first. Any questions?" the MC asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Right then, then let's start this tournament final!" the MC declared, followed by a roar from the crowd. "Jaffa and Crow, take your places at the starting line!"

Both Jaffa and Crow drove up to the starting line.

Then the onboard computers brought up a map of Neo Domino City, and highlighted a randomised route.

"This is the route that you two will be taking... Computer bring up the routes for the other four Riding Duelists!" the MC said.

Yusei and Stuart's route took them in the opposite direction from Jaffa and Crows, whilst Jasmine and Aki's route was on a perpindicular to both routes.

All of the routes started and ended at the Stadium.

"Are you ready?" the MC asked the first two duelists.

"Ready." both Crow and Jaffa said.

The Stadium brought up the countdown sequence.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." the MC started.

"ACCELERATION!" both the crowd and the MC roared at the same time, when the lights changed colour.

Both D-Wheel's floored it immediately.

When they left the Stadium, they were neck and neck.

"You're ride's all right for speed... but now the real race begins." Crow said, pointing at the computer screen.

The first corner was coming up.

Both of them throttled it, trying to get to it first.

I'll do the same thing I did to Bommer when we were racing for the first corner. Crow thought. Then I'll take the first turn.

Just as they were about to reach the corner, Jaffa put on more speed and pushed a button on his right handle.

A claw ejected from the side of his D-Wheel, and penetrated into the wall of the building on the corner.

He then used the momentum to keep his speed and take the first corner, retracting the claw before the turn was fully completed.

Crow whistled.

"Clever. Nice move there... you've added a few things to the Blackbird design."

"Thanks. I figured you might try and make me do the same thing you tricked Bommer to do when he was a Dark Signer. But as I said back at the Stadium, this ain't the Blackbird, and its much, much better than you can imagine. Now I believe I take the first turn."

"I draw!" Jaffa said. Both Speed Counter's go up to one.

"I first of all Summon out my Harpie Lady 1." he declared.

The red-headed harpie appeared onto the field. (1300, 1400)

"Next I activate 2 Speed Spell - Over Boosts to gain 4 speed counters each." Jaffa said.

His speed counters went up to 9.

"Now I activate my two Speed Spell - Elegant Egotists, in order to special summon out two more Harpie Lady 1's. Speed Spell - Elegant Egotist requires me to sacrifice 3 speed counters to activate."

"Hence the overboost... clever." Crow admitted. "Still not gonna help you."

Two more red-headed harpies appeared. (1300, 1400)

"The thing with Harpie Lady 1 is that, she powers up each and every wind monster on the field by 300 points, including herself. So with three of them..."

Each of the harpies started to glow with a green light. (1300, 1400) x 3 - (2100, 1400)

"And I'll end my turn with one face-down." Jaffa said.

His speed counters went back down to one.

"Nice turn, but it cost you every card in your hand." Crow said as he drew. Both sets of Speed Counters went up to two.

"Yeah, but the clever thing is, it didn't cost me any more Speed Counters than I already had." Jaffa pointed out.

"True, but now I'll show you how a Riding Duel with Winged Beasts is supposed to Swarm." Crow said.

"I summon out my Blackfeather - Sirocco of Dawn!"

A man with bird legs, black wings, and a bird hood appeared. (2000, 900)

"Yeah, that was only able to be summoned cus I had more monsters on my field than you...well guess what? I prepared for this. Go Trap Hole!"

Jaffa's face down lifted to reveal the trap card.

Sirocco looked down and plummeted down a hole in the ground.

"Ouch...damn that was good." Crow muttered.

"Sometimes the old school cards are the best." Jaffa said with a grin. "Now you can't swarm the field with your Blackwings until your next turn. Assuming you have a next turn."

"Well, just to make sure of that problem of monsters, I Special Summon from my hand Blackfeather - Gust the Adverse Wind. This guy can be Special Summoned if I control no cards."

A monster simililarly attired to Sirocco, except it had blue wings, and had green feathers around its head. (900, 1400)

"OK...so maybe you'll be able to swarm..." Jaffa muttered.

"I now Special Summon my Blackfeather - Gale of the Hurricane, since I control a Blackfeather monster."

A bird like monster appeared next to Crow. It had blue feathers all over its body, and green feathers all over its head, except for its pale yellow face, with no mouth. (1300, 400)

"I now Special Summon another Blackfeather monster, this time my Blast of Black Lance!" Crow said, as another bird man appeared, this time with a red bird hood, and black wings, wielding a giant lance. (1700, 800)

"Now I tune my level 4 Black Lance with my level 3 Gale."

The smaller bird burst into stars and circled around the lance wielding bird.

"Darkened gales, become the wings which will soar to heavens! Synchro Summon! Blackfeather - Armored Wing!"

There was a burst of light, and an armored winged man appeared. (2500, 1500)

"Crap. That's gonna be a problem." Jaffa muttered. "That monster can't be destroyed in battle, and it leaves him with no battle damage. And then there's those damn counters..."

"You see now? Harpie's may be all well and good when it comes to Ground Duels, but they don't hold a candle in a Riding Duel to my Blackfeathers." Crow gloated.

"Now, Armored Wing will attack one of your Harpie Lady 1's." he said.

The armoured monster, flew straight at the harpie on the left, and punched it in the face, making it burst into pixels.

"And with one less Harpie Lady 1, both of your other harpie's lose 300 attack points." Crow said.

The harpies glow slightly dimmed. (2100, 1400) x2 - (1900, 1400) x2

"That's a problem." Jaffa muttered. "OK deck, you had better help out here. We need this win...come on now." he muttered to his deck.

"Talking to your deck isn't gonna help." Crow said.

"Why not? You guys do it all the time when you hit a tough spot in a duel." Jaffa pointed out.

Crow scratched his chin.

"You've got a point there... hey!" Crow then said pointing a finger at Jaffa. "Stop trying to distract me."

"My move then?" Jaffa asked.

"Yeah, your turn." Crow said as they turned a corner. "Man... you guys must have had some party while we were gone. I don't remember the city being this wrecked when we left."

"Yeah, we'll tell you guys the whole story at our victory bash." Jaffa said as he drew. Speed Counters go up to three.

OK deck, you seem to be working. I see what you're planning, now we've got to stall for a while.Jaffa thought to himself.

"I attack your Blackfeather - Gust the Adverse Wind."

One of the harpies broke formation and dived at the monster.

"Whenever a Blackfeather monster is selected as an attack target whilst my Gust is on the field, the attacking monster loses 300 attack."

"It's still enough to destroy your monster." Jaffa said as his harpie lost 300 points.

The harpie clawed down the middle of the blackfeather, making it burst.

"Ergh." Crow grunted as he swerved a bit.

"That's one point to harpie power over blackfeathers. And I end my turn there."

"All right, I draw." Speed Counters go up to four.

"Armored Wing, destroy another harpie. So much for harpie power."

The armored monster punched another harpie into pixels.

"I place one card face down, and end my turn." Crow said.

"Ok deck, lets keep this up." Jaffa said as he drew. Speed Counters go up to five.

"I switch my harpie to defense mode, and I end my turn there." Jaffa said.

The next few turns are gonna hurt, but they're needed. Jaffa thought to himself.

"I don't know what you're planning, but I'm gonna take your life points down nice and quick. I special summon another Black Lance." Crow said after drawing. Speed Counters go up to 6.

Another lance wielding bird man appeared. (1700, 800)

"I then sacrifice it to summon out another Sirocco of Dawn, and then I special summon another Black Lance."

"Shit... I can see where this is going." Jaffa groaned. "Deck you had better give me the next card I think you're gonna give me on the next turn, cus if you don't then we're toast."

The first lance wielding birdman vanished and was replaced with the bigger birdman. (2000, 900)

Then the black lance wielding birdman appeared again. (1700, 800)

"Now then, I activate my Sirocco's effect to increase my Black Lance's attack score equal to the power of every other Blackfeather on my field."

"That's an extra 4500 attack points." Jaffa grumbled.

The lance wielding birdman grew in size as it gained the extra attack points. (1700, 800) - (6200, 800)

"Oh crap this is gonna hurt big time!" Jaffa said.

Even the harpie blanched in fear as it realised where this was going.

"Now my Black Lance attacks your harpie, and it deals penetration damage." Crow said.

The lance wielding blackfeather lunged at the harpie, and pierced straight through it and almost hit Jaffa's D-Wheel.

Luckily he accelerated just before it could connect.

"What was that about?" Crow asked as Jaffa's score decreased, and he lost 4 Speed Counters.

Jaffa simply raised his right arm in response. His mark was giving a faint glow.

Crow looked down at his Dragon's Tail mark. It was giving a faint glow as well.

"Well, I guess that explains why you sped up to avoid the attack." Crow shrugged. "But it puts a whole new spin on things."

"Indeed." agreed Jaffa.

"Your turn." Crow said.

"Alright deck, it's now or never." Jaffa said as he made what could be his last draw. Jaffa's speed counters went up to 3, whilst Crow went up to 7.

He took a look at the card he drew.

"That's what I'm talking about." Jaffa muttered, so Crow couldn't hear him.

"I play two face-downs, and end my turn there." Jaffa said.

"I don't know what you're up to, but it's not going to save you." Crow said as he drew. J, SC=4, C, SC=8.

"Now then, Sirocco attack's you directly." Crow ordered.

"I activate my first face-down, Hysteric Party! By discarding a card, I get to Special Summon as many Harpie Ladies as possible from my Graveyard."

A giant disco ball appeared in the sky between them, and then dance music started pounding out.

"Urgh." Jaffa groaned. "Why oh why, did this card have to come with this crap that people try to say is music?"

Then the three harpie lady 1's in his graveyard all burst onto the field.

"Sirocco, hold your attack." Crow ordered. "Armored Wing attack instead."

"Now I activate my other face-down. Treaty of the Skies!"

"Never heard of it." Crow said, as a fierce wind suddenly appeared.

"Here's how it works. When I activate this card, it ends the battle phase, and I get to swap the monsters on my field with monsters from my deck whose combined level is equal to or less than the combined level of the monsters that were originally on the field. So long as the monsters levels do not exceed the level of the monsters I swapped."

The harpies all waved goodbye, and then vanished into the wind and back into Jaffa's deck.

In their place, shadows appeared.

"Say hello to Dragunity - Tribul, Dragunity - Brandistock, Dragunity - Dux, and Dragunity - Phalanx." Jaffa said.

Tribul was a man in white robes, with a black bird helmet and white wings. (500, 300)

Brandistock looked like a little grey monster with silver armour and wings. He looked like a rat type thing in a bowling ball, with a spiky head. (600, 400)

Dux was another man, but this time had more mechanical looking wings, and was wielding some kind of fan thing. (1500, 1000)

Phalanx looked like a blue dragon in golden armour. (500, 1100)

"What good did that do... hold on...Tuner monsters... You're gonna try some Synchro Summoning on your next turn. Well you can try, but I know about the Dragunity Knights, and not one of them can handle themselves against my Armored Wing, or any of my Blackfeather Synchros."

"You may be right, but it's worth a shot." Jaffa said, trying to keep Crow from realising his real plan.

"I end my turn with that then." Crow said.

"OK, then time to show this decks true power." Jaffa said as he accelerated. Jaffa's Speed Counters went up to 5. Crow's went up to 9.

"Umm, I hate to burst your bubble, but there's a wall straight ahead, you're gonna have to slow down."

"We'll get to that wall when it comes to it. First I tune my level two Phalanx and my level four Dux, in order to Synchro Summon Dragunity Knight - Gaebolg."

The two monsters burst into light and out of that light emerged the silver dragon and its silver armoured rider. (2000, 1100)

"Now then, I tune my level one Brandistock, and level one Tribus."

"A level two Synchro?" Crow asked looking a bit perplexed.

The two monsters burst into light and then from the tunnel came out a blonde woman, wearing a brown corset, a green and brown arm shirt, mini-skirt, brown boots, and a green bow. (500, 500)

"Behold, Ventus Synchron." Jaffa said.

Just then, Jaffa's screen was changed from the duel mat screen to a video feed...from Jasmine.

"Oh...um... hi there. Now's not a good time Jas." Jaffa said.

"What's with the level two Synchro?" Jasmine asked, looking slightly annoyed.

"I don't know what you mean." Jaffa replied innocently.

"You know exactly what I mean. Why does it look like that?" Jasmine asked.

Jaffa sighed.

"I didn't come up with the way the card looks. It just came to me in my sleep, and I drew it in my sleep... and by the time I realised what had happened, it was too late to call it back."

Jasmine didn't look convinced.

"We'll talk more later, I promise, right now though... I've got to focus." Jaffa said.

"All right. Win this duel, and we'll talk about this after we win our duels."

"It's a deal." Jaffa said.

The screen changed back to the duel mat. Then a warning light flashed up.

"Warning, collision imminent if you do not reduce speed." the computer intoned.

"Override safety protocols." Jaffa ordered. "Authorisation, Jaffa Alpha Gamma 1"

"Safety protocols overridden. Don't say I didn't warn you." the computer said.

"Dude, you're gonna hit that wall." Crow said. "Slow down so you can turn!"

"Who said anything about turning. I know this part of the track Crow, and I know that wall." Jaffa said, pressing a button on his console.

Two claws shot out from the front of his D-Wheel, and embedded themselves into the wall, in the distance.

He pressed another button and the claws started to retract.

It pulled the wall down, turning it into a ramp.

"What are you doing? That D-Wheel can't make that jump." Crow said.

"I've already told you, this ain't your Blackbird design. The Falcon can do more than you might think." Jaffa said, hitting the accelerator.

Then his mark began to glow with an even brighter light.

"Hold on... level two Synchro, and a level 6 synchro...oh no! You can't be trying what you're trying to do!" Crow exclaimed as he realised what was going on.

"Oh I am. But first I've gotta activate Ventus' effect. I can reduce a monster's level by up to the same number of cards in my hand. I have one card in my hand. So that means a monster loses one level. And I choose my Gaebolg!"

Ventus made an arrow appear between her index and middle finger on her right hand. She then nocked the arrow onto the bow string, took aim at Gaebolg and let loose.

The arrow hit Gaebolg, and made him lose one level. Level 6 - Level 5.

"What was that for?" Crow asked.

Jaffa didn't respond. He just put on more speed and headed straight for his newly made ramp.

"Ladie's and gentlemen... Jaffa must have lost his senses! The jump he is proposing will take him over one of the parts of the city that is completely covered by the ocean! If he doesn't make it then he is dead!" the MC declared with a worried look on his face.

0

0

Alright...focus. Jaffa thought as he closed slowly closed his eyes and put on even more speed.

The front of his D-Wheel began to glow with a green light.

"Let's do this! I tune my Ventus Synchron and my Dragunity Knight - Gaebolg!"

Ventus shot out a series of arrows, that then formed a tunnel in front of Jaffa. She then burst into stars, and started to circle around Gaebolg.

"Almighty winds break free from my soul! Behold the ultimate evolution of the Winged Beasts!" Jaffa chanted.

Then he jumped off the ramp and started to soar over the gap between the two pieces of road.

He unconsciously pressed a button that engaged the wing systems and activated the engines, causing him to soar even further over the water.

Then he disappeared in a flash of green light.

"Where did he go?" Crow exclaimed as he turned the corner and continued down the track.

Then a green stream of light burst from behind him when Crow had reached the side of the track where Jaffa was supposed to have landed.

"Emerging from the Winds of Speed! Accel Synchro! Freedom Eagle!" Jaffa finished.

A giant shadow was cast over Jaffa's D-Wheel, then they looked up and saw a creature that resembled a golden eagle, excepet it was massive and had green glowing eyes!

It let out a massive cry as it soared over the Duel Field. (3600, 3000)

"You... actually did it! You successfully Accel Synchro summoned!" Crow exclaimed.

"Heh, I'm a little surprised myself." Jaffa admitted.

"Wait, you accel synchroed with doubts? How's that possible?" asked Crow.

"Nah. I just suppressed the doubts and focused. Helps that I've had a second mind running around in my head for a while." Jaffa said.

"Second mind... let's talk about this after the duel." Crow suggested.

"Oh yeah. You guys missed a lot!" Jaffa said. "But back to business."

"My Freedom Eagle attacks your Sirocco of Dawn." said Jaffa.

The giant eagle breathed in, and then sent out a green blast of energy at the unfortunate monster.

"Damn... no matter. My Armored Wing will get your monster on my turn." Crow muttered as he lost a speed counter.

"I end my turn there Crow."

"Alright then, my draw!" Crow said as he drew. Jaffa's SC= 6, Crow's SC = 9

"Armored Wing, attack his Freedom Eagle." Crow ordered.

The armored warrior flew at the giant eagle, punched it in the chest, then flew back down to Crow.

"I'm guessing next turn you're gonna take out its attack points using your monsters effect?" Jaffa asked. "Cus, that's all you can do with that monster at this point."

Crow grinned.

"I place a monster in defence mode, and play a card face-down."

A sideways card appeared, then a vertical face-down.

"Your move." Crow said.

Crow's obviously laid a trap for me... he's testing my monster to see exactly what it can do. Jaffa thought to himself.

Then he grinned.

If that's what he wants, that's what he'll get.

"All right Crow I draw." Jaffa's Speed Counters went up to 7. Crow's went up to 10.

"Freedom Eagle, attack his mystery monster."

"Ha, you fell for my trap card! Go, Magic Cylinder! Now all of your monsters attack points will be reflected back at you! You lose!"

A pair of tubes appeared. One of them got in front of Freedom Eagles blast, whilst the other then sent the blast straight at Jaffa's D-Wheel.

0

"Ladies and gentlemen, we could be witnessing the downfall of this promising duelist. And with his loss, his entire team's possible wins mean nothing due to the conditions set by the Tournament officials." the MC declared.

0

"Wings of Reflection!" Jaffa said.

Freedom Eagle's wings glowed with a green light, and the blast was redirected towards its chest.

The blast got absorbed into Freedom Eagles chest, and then shot out of its wings straight at Crow!

"Argh. What happened there?" asked Crow as he lost 3600 Life points and 3 speed counters.

"It's one of my monsters special abilities. If my opponent tries to inflict damage to my life points through an effect, I can redirect the damage to my opponent's life points." Jaffa explained.

"One of its abilities... what else can this monster do?" Crow asked himself.

"I'll place a card face-down, at that will end my turn Crow." Jaffa said as a card briefly appeared next to him.

"OK, so that thing can reflect my effect damage..." Crow muttered as he drew. J SC= 8, C SC= 8

"I flip over my Blackfeather - Blizzard of the North Pole." Crow said.

The side on card flipped over to reveal a small seagullish looking monster. (1300, 0)

"What was the point in it being face-down?" asked Jaffa.

"I was testing your monster...now then, I tune it along with my Black Lance!"

The seagull burst into stars and circled around the lance wielding monster.

"Pitch-dark power, lodge in its great wings and stir up the divine winds! Synchro Summon! Gust fiercely, Blackfeather - Arms Wing!"

Another armored winged man appeared, this time this one had red spiky hair shooting out of its head, and was holding a rifle of some sort. (2300, 1000)

"I now Summon out another Blizzard of the North Pole."

Another seagull looking monster appeared.

"Now I tune them together!"

The seagull burst into lights and then spun around Arms Wing.

"Darkened gales, become the wings that soar from resolved hope! Synchro Summon! Soar, Blackfeather Dragon!" Crow chanted.

There was an explosion of light, and both marks on Jaffa and Crow began to glow with an even brighter light than before.

When the light faded, flying above Crow was a monster that had a crows body, four wings attached to each other, four silver ribs stretching downwards, and silver tail feathers streaming behind it. (2800, 1600)

"So now the real duel begins." Jaffa said as they turned another corner. "Signer Dragon versus Chosen Beast... Freedom Eagle, let's show him what the Element of Wind can do!"

The giant eagle roared in agreement as it looked at its counterpart.

"I activate my Armored Wings special ability. By removing the Wedge Counter he left in your giant bird last battle, your monster's attack score goes down to zero!"

A small black lump of rock emerged from Freedom Eagle's chest and cracks started to form around the area it came from.

The giant eagle shrieked in pain as it lost it's strength.

"Now then, Blackfeather Dragon, attack his Freedom Eagle!"

The dragon's wings turned red with black stripes, and then those wings shot out a blast at Freedom Eagle.

"Freedom Eagle, use your Divine Wind ability!" Jaffa yelled over the roar of the blast.

The eagle roared, and the cracks in its body disappeared.

They then reappeared on Blackfeather Dragon's body!

"What happened there?" Crow asked.

"Freedom Eagle has another ability. Whenever it's attack score is reduced, I can transfer the deduction to another monster on my opponent's side of the field." Jaffa explained.

Freedom Eagle's attack score returned to 3600, whilst Blackfeather Dragon's attack score went down to zero.

The blast pettered out, and the giant eagle roared at the dragon, and then launced a blast of its own at the dragon, blowing it to pixels.

"And that's the duel." Jaffa said triumphantly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what a turn around!" the MC declared. "Jaffa of Team Satellite has taken the first victory over Team 5D's!"

"Hmm." Jack started after witnessing the duel. "This team may have potential. But not enough to defeat Jack Atlus!"

"We'll have to be careful around the other five. They may have cards similar to Freedom Eagle." Aki suggested.

Yusei simply nodded.

Freedom Eagle was originally thought up by Bigbudddo. I gave it the effect, attack and defense score, and the visuals though. It was a joint effort.

The Treaty of the Skies card and Ventus Synchron card are my own creations.

All of the other cards have either been shown in the anime or are actually in production, either in OCG or the TCG.
