Ken: "Now let's get up to speed with YuGiOh 5D's!: Now's the time for the Fortune Cup Semi-Finals. But before we could actually get through the tournament, someone decided to hold a tag-team duel for an exhibition match. With Gabriella as his partner, Jason went up against a pair of creepy twins named Taylor and Tyler. Jason and Gabe managed to put up a fight, but when the twins called out that Flamvell Nihdogg, the arena literally blew up and knocked out Gabe and Jason! You think they can pull through? Let's hop on, rev it up, and find out!"


Without a trace of memory, Jason Issac Hutchins awakens in the back of a ghetto alleyway. This slum is home to bums and criminals who, exiled from the city, bear an inscription called a 'marker' on their faces.

It is there he notices a duel disk attached to his left arm, indicating that he is, in fact a duelist! In days ahead, what kind of destiny awaits him on...

Ride 33: Duel Terminal-Round 5

Part 2: Fire and Ice


From where we last left, Jason and Gabriella had their wind knocked out of them due to Flamvell Nihdogg. Their bodies just lay there like heaps of scrap. No one knew what to make of it. And no one knew if they could wake up.

"Katherine, get a grip! You gotta calm down!" Ken was grabbing hold onto the raging Katherine, trying to keep her from clawing somebody's face off.

"NO! LEMME GO! LEMME GO! HOW DARE THEY HURT GABE AND JASON LIKE THAT! LET GO OF ME!"

"Look, I know how you feel, but, running over there like a rabbie-ridden dog isn't gonna- Hey, what's that?"

Katherine stopped thrashing long enough to see that her two favorite people were actually moving. Fighting against anguish, they managed to rise to their feet, but barely. And that was enough to have her tear in relief, "Oh, wow! I knew they were alright! I told you so!"

Kenichi just sweat dropped...


"Gabriella, are you alright?"

"I felt better... And you?"

"Yeah. Just what was that that monster just did?"

"I don't know, Jason; but if I had to guess, they may be the same as that Black Rose character."

Taylor: "Hey! What are you guys whispering about?"

Tyler: "Yeah! Quit stalling and lets keep dueling already!"

Jason and Gabe noticed the twins were waiting on them. They returned to their original positions, "How did you do that?" Gabriella asked the twins.

"Oh, it wasn't us-" Taylor started.

"-It was all Ymir and Nihdogg!" Tyler finished.


Meanwhile, in Goodwin's private box...

"Would you care to explain what happened down there, Goodwin?" Isis Kaiba demanded.

"Well, if you must know, then I'll have to start from the beginning, before the origins of Duel Monsters was first discovered-"

"Oh, another fairy tail? Can't you wait until nighttime for that?"

"Just listen," Goodwin explained, "You see, long ago, there were a series of powerful Duel Monsters known as the Duel Terminals. These 'fairy tails', as you would put it, tell of a time when Duel Monsters once ruled world; some lived in peace and harmony, and others bent on chaos and destruction."

"What does that have to do with Hutchins, that green-haired girl, and those two weirdos of twins?"

"The Duel Terminals each command an army, which can call forth a small portion of their leaders' power. No one knows how many armies they are, but as you see in the arena before you, four of them are being wielded, each by one of the duelists you see now. Taylor commands the Ice Barrier army; Tyler controls the Flamvells; Gabriella uses the Fabled, or the 'Fiend Roar Deities', as were dubbed in ancient times; and finally, Jason Hutchins wields the Genex army."

"That's real nice and all, but that doesn't explain how that dragon exploded like that."

"I'm just about to get there. Out of the many Duel Terminals clans, some of them belonged to a special group known as the Seven Spirits, seven mystical creatures whose power laid waste to the world. However, the spirits' rampage came to an end when they became imprisoned within seven Duel Monster cards, and can only unleash their power when called upon. You've only caught a glimpse of what the spirits of Fire and Water can do."

"And you left these two spirits in the hands of mere mortals, why?"

"As you have known before, we opened this tournament to uncover the five Signers; and what better way to test D-5 Epsilon's power than to have him face of two of the most fearsome Duel Monsters in history..."


"I end my turn for now," Tyler concluded, "But not before I activate the effect of the face-down I played," a small metal machine appeared and fired a beam from its spotlight, bringing the ice dragon back to the field (ATK: 3300).

"Before Nihdogg activated his special ability, Tyler activated Interdimensional Matter Transporter, to remove Ymir from play and keep her safe from Nihdogg's ability!" Taylor explained, "Let's see what you can do against two dragons at once!" the two dragons stood side-by-side, their elemental energies coliding and causing the air to become heavily humid.

"It's my turn," Gabriella called, 'That Titan Wyrm can negate any spell and trap card just by simply sending a card from her hand to the graveyard. So I'll just have to take that dragon down...' "I activate the spell Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two cards from my deck!" she drew twice, "Next I activate Monster Reborn, and bring Ragin back from my graveyard!" in a flash of light, the gold-and-black armored demon returned (ATK: 2900), "Next, I summon another Fiend Roar Deity Raven tuner-monster!" another crimson-winged fiend appeared (ATK: 1300), "And now I tune my Raven with Ragin to synchro-summon one of my most powerful monsters!" Raven separated into two gates and surrounded Ragin, while Gabriella chanted:

"The sparkles of light are the seven coronas! Light is mana; power enriched by the heart! Synchro-Summon!"

"The spirit of mana, (*) Ancient Sacred Wyvern(2100/2000)!" Glowing out of the synchro-summon released a giant serpentine dragon. Its sliver scales glistened in the light, as does its blonde mane. It also had two horns on its head (ATK: 2100), "Thanks to her special ability, she also gains ATK power equal to the difference in me and my opponent's ATK points; as long as mine's higher then theirs," the sacred wyvern's aura began to sparkle brightly with stardust.

Ancient Sacred Wyvern: (ATK: 3100)

"Too bad it can't attack, because while Ymir is on the field, all monsters have to wait one turn to attack or be sacrificed!" Taylor teased as she watched the wyvern recoil and fall into Ymir's cold spell.

"Then I guess I'll have to send some reinforcements. I activate the spell card known as (5D's)Fabled Spirit Jar!" a spell card was played showing a blue-glazed jar, with giant yellow eyes and a big, toothy grin, "With this card, I can remove from play one Field Roar Deity monster in my graveyard," Gabriella showed Valkirus to her opponent before pocketing it, "And since Valkirus is a level-8 monster, I get to draw 4 cards, two for each level!" the Fabled Duelist drew four cards, "Next I equip my wyvern with Shine Palace, giving her 700 more ATK points!" the wyvern began to glow even brighter.

Ancient Sacred Wyvern: (ATK: 3800)

"Now I activate Forbidden Chalice, to increase your monster's ATK power by 400!"

Ymir, Titan Wyrm of the Ice Barrier: (ATK: 3700)

"But why would you-"

-do that to our monster?"

"Because then you monster's effect is negated for this turn!"

"Ancient Sacred Wyvern, attack Ymir, Titan Wyrm of the Ice Barrier! Go, Illumina Blaze!" on command, the wyvern spat out an overflowing torrent of light, which pored through Ymir's ice-encased body, which in turn, shattered the dragon itself into tiny ice shards.

Taylor: 3900

Tyler: 2500

Gabriella: 5000

Jason: 200

"Our Titan Wyrm-"

"-It's gone!"


Ken: "Great move! Without any cards in her hand, Taylor can't activate her Titan Wyrm's ability! And now, Gabriella won't have to worry about Ymir cancelling out her cards!"

Katherine: "She's the best! Absoblutely nothing can stop her! Oh... BUT YOU'RE GREAT TOO, JASON!"


"Finally, I place one card face-down," a reverse card appeared in front of Gabriella, "It's your move, Taylor."

"You're gonna pay for that!" Taylor shouted as she started her turn, "I activate my own Pot of Greed!" Taylor drew twice, "I summon Reese the Ice Mistress in DEF mode!" the laser-toting ice-user appeared (DEF: 800), "This card can't be destroyed in battle! I'll end my turn right there!"

"Then I guess it's my turn again," Jason drew, "Maybe this will help. I activate the spell Card of Demise," Jason drew four cards; when the forth card was drawn... 'Wait. This card, it's...'

Flashback...

It was late at night and Jason still couldn't sleep. He was still wondering why Goodwin did what he had done. Jason was talking about how he was denied his Genex cards for the Fortune Cup. Then Goodwin suddenly decided that he could. It was then he found his answer. Along with that letter, he found a pair of duel monster cards, along with a P.S. note:

'Make sure you put on a good show.'

"Maybe this is why..."

End Flashback.

'Alright, Goodwin; you want a show, then I'll give you one.' "I summon Genex Controller in ATK mode!" a third copy of Jason's primary tuner appeared (ATK: 1400), "Next, I special summon the monster known as (5D's)(*) Omni Genex(1000/1000)!" following the tuner, a giant four-pronged shield appeared, each of the four sections glowed a different color: red, blue, green, and bronze. The center which connected the four together contained a gem glowing a bright scarlet-red, "This level-5 monster can only be summoned when I control a level-4 or lower Genex monster on the field. Now I tune my level-3 Genex Controller with my level-5 Omni Genex, to synchro-summon a new monster of mine!" as the Controller spun its gears, it changed into three synchro-gates. They surrounded the shield as it freed itself from its outer frame, and created five stars. All the while, Jason chanted:

"Divested stars form into a hidden world of power! Become the new vessel to venture the new frontier! Synchro-Summon!"

Out of the synchro jet, yet another dragon appeared. Its scales run with multiple colors of light. It was armed with glistening silver armor, "(5D's)(*) Genex Dragon(2800/2400), Accelerate!" the dragon roared to remind everyone of its arrival (ATK: 2800), "Check this out! First Genex Dragon gains 200 ATK points for every Genex monster in my graveyard," the spirits of the five monsters in Jason's grave appeared as his dragon powered up.

Genex Dragon: (ATK: 3800)

"Then he gains a special ability depending on the attribute of the monsters used to summon it! And Omni Genex is treated as attributes of fire, water, earth, and wind!" the dragon glowed with energies of all four attributes, "With the power of earth, he cut a monster's power in half!" the dragon then slammed its foot into the ground,

Flamvell Nihdogg: (ATK: 1750/DEF: 1500)

"Now's the time to attack! Genex Dragon, blast that Flamvell to rubble with Omni Flare!" the dragon threw a cannon of multi-colored energy from its mouth, boring through Nihdogg's chest before it completely annihilated it.

Taylor: 3900

Tyler: 450

Gabriella: 5000

Jason: 200

"My Flamvell-"

"-Nihdogg!"

"And with the power of fire, Genex also dishes out 300 points of damage for each level of monster he destroys. And since Flamvel Nihdogg is a level-10, you lose 3000 life points!" the dragon fired a barrage of fireballs at Tyler.

"Not so fast! I activate the Damage Polarizer trap card! That means your effect is negated and we all get to draw one card!" after Taylor's reverse card activated, everyone drew once.

Sonya: "Despite that last move, that was amazing! in a few sweet moves Jason and Gabriella slayed the two twin terrors! I wonder what else they have under their sleeve!"

"I'll just end my turn with a couple of face-downs for now," two reverse cards appeared.

"It's my turn!" Tyler called, "I activate the equip-spell card, (5D's)Flamvell Tribute!" he played a spell card showing various fire monsters surrounding a glowing pit of lava, "When this card is activated, I can select one Flamvell monster in my graveyard! Then I have to destroy all monsters on my field, then remove fire-attribute monsters in my graveyard from play equal to the level of that monster I'm about to summon, then equip it to this card! So I remove Flamvells Uruquizas and Magician!" Tyler showed his opponent said cards before placing them in his coat pocket.

"But that's a total of 10 stars..." Gabriella wondered aloud, "(gasps)That only means one thing!"

"That's right! Welcome back-"

"-our Flamvell Nihdogg!" Tyler raised his right arm up and a giant burning geyser erupted from the ground. The lava then formed into the shape of a massive beast. The hide became partly hardened, and the fire kanji appeared on its armored chest (ATK: 3500), "But sadly, Nihdogg's special ability is negated, and I can't attack on the turn it's summoned. So I'll end my turn with a face-down for now."

"Then it's my turn," Gabriella drew, "I place one card face-down and end my turn," a reverse card appeared in front of her.

"It's my move!" Taylor snickered at the card she drew, "I activate the Ice Barrier Tribute equip-spell!" a spell card showed many water-attribute monsters surrounded by an ice sculpture on the ground, shaped like a six-pointed snowflake, "This card does the exact same thing my brother did; except it summons an Ice Barrier monster instead!" the symbol appeared on the field, and the spirits of Ice Barrier Dragon and Geomancer appeared before being absorbed into the insignia. Then a shockwave of cold winds rippled through Reese before destroying her. Erupting from a freezing water geyser, the Titan Wyrm returned (ATK: 3300).

"Now Taylor's dragon is back too," Jason grimanced, "We're right back where we started!"

"If you think things look bad now, just wait untill you see her attack!" Taylor proclaimed.

"But you can't! That equip spell should negate it!"

"Oh, it does! That's why I'm activating this!" Taylor slapped a spell card onto her disk, "The Quick Attack spell card allows any frozen monster to attack instantly this turn! Go, Ymir! Attack D-5 Epsilon with Blizzard of Niflmheim!" the ice dragon fired a blast of frozen winds at our favorite Satellite!

"I activate my face-down: the trap Wall of Revealing Light!" as soon as Gabriella's trap activated, a massive barrier wall rose up between opposing sides of the field. The sparkling lights sprinkling around it protected both her and Jason from Ymir's attack, "When activated, I have to pay a multiple of 1000 life points. Then all opposing monsters can't attack if their ATK power is lover than the amount of life points I gave up!"

Taylor: 3900

Tyler: 450

Gabriella: 1000

Jason: 200

'I hope this shield will hold out,' Gabriella thought, 'Cause that's just about all I got.'

"I'll end my turn for now!"


Katherine: "Those dragons just won't go away! No matter how many times they go down, they always come back!"

Ken: "Don't count 'em out just yet, Kat!"


"It's my turn again," Jason called, "I'll have to skip my turn for now."

"It's my turn!" Tyler started his turn, "Perfect! Just the card I need to finish this, Taylor!"

"Well, what are you waiting for, Tyler?"

"Nothing! I activate the spell card Gold Sarcophagus!" once the card activated, a giant golden box with an eye imprinted on it appeared on the field, "And this card is just what we needed to win this duel! First I search for a card in my deck..." Tyler fanned his deck and looked over it until he found what he needed, "Then I place that card into the sarcophagus, thus removing it from play!-"

"-And during our second standby-phase, the card is added to the players hand! And this is the card we chose for your defeat!" a giant version of the card hovered over the golden box, and what the card was nerved both Jason and Gabriella.

"Oh, no way!"

"That card; it's..."

"That's right!-"

"-It's the trap card Ring of Destruction!"

They were correct; the Ring of Destruction trap card floated above the golden box before settling down inside and sealing itself inside, "Now I activate the spell Nightmare Steelcage!" a giant metal cage descended around the arena, "And now the countdown's been set to one-"

"-And then you're done!"

Taylor/Tyler: "We end our turn!"

The twins' ring can deal damage to every player of the attached monster was powerful enough. So Jason and Gabriella only have one turn each to come up with an idea ti stop it from happening.

"It's my turn!" Gabriella called, "I activare Dian Keto the Cure Master, and use it to increase Jason's life points!" her life points boosted by 1000.

Taylor: 3900

Tyler: 450

Gabriella: 1000

Jason: 1200

"Then I place one card face-down and end my turn!" a reverse card appeared.

"It's my turn!" Taylor drew, "I end my turn with a face-down!" another reverse card appeared, "Now you only have one turn left! Make it count!"

"Gladly!" Jason started his turn, "I'll just end my turn with a couple of face-downs!"

"Then here comes my turn!" Tyler drew, "And comes the effect of Gold Sarcophagus!" he added the card to his hand and placed it face-down right away, "Now I activate the spell Hammer Shot! This card destroys a monster with the highest ATK! In this case, it's Flamvell Nihdogg!" a giant meteor quickly descended from the skies and crashed right on top of the dragon.

"But why did you do that?" Gabriella wondered.

"Because with Nihdogg destroyed, it triggers my trap card, Wish of Final Effort!" Taylor flipped over her face-down, "When this trap's activated, my partner gains life points equal to that monster's ATK!"

Taylor: 3900

Tyler: 3950

Gabriella: 1000

Jason: 1200

"And finally, I place my last card face-down!" Tyler sets a reverse card, "That's it for my turn!"

Sonya: "This is it, folks! One draw, one card! If the twins decide to play Ring of Destruction at the start of Gabriella's turn, it's all over!"


Ken: "Now Gabriella has to pull out a win if she doesn't want that ring to blow up in their face!"


"...It's my turn," Gabriella drew.

"I activate Ring of Destruction!" Tyler equipped the ring onto the ice dragon, "And as soon as it equips to a monster, that monster is destroyed and we all lose life points equal to its ATK power!"

"Taylor/Tyler: "So say bye-bye!"

The ring itself exploded along with the dragon, sending shards of ice every which-away. When the smoke cleared, the current score was this:

Taylor: 600

Tyler: 650

Gabriella: 4300

Jason: 4500

"What the heck happened?-"

"-The Ring of Destruction was supposed to take away your life points! Not give them away!"

That was when the caught sight of what caused it...

Taylor/Tyler: "It's a Rainbow Life trap card!"

"That's right," Gabriella's face-down was flipped face-up, "By discarding one card from my hand, I can reverse the effect of your trap card."

"That goes double for me," Jason activates a reverse card, the same one that Gabriella played, "Instead of losing life points, Rainbow Life grants us the same amount!"

"At least you can't attack now-"

"-Because you can't attack with a partner's duel monster!"

"Actually, she can!"

Taylor/Tyler: "Huh?"

"Ready, Gabriella?"

"When you are, Jason," Gabriella flipped her final face-down, "I activate Jason's Masquerade spell card! With this, I can select one monster on my partner's side and treat it as my own for one turn! And whom better than Jason's Genex Dragon!" the dragon roared for his new master, "And with no monsters on your field, it's game over for the two of you!"

Just when they thought they won this match, the twins were countered with an even quicker play! Knowing it was over, they turned to the one thing they could do: the held on to each other and begged!

"Oh no!-"

"-Please don't attack!"

"Please?-"

"Pretty please?"

Taylor/Tyler: "Pretty, pretty please?"

"Beg all you like, but it won't stop us from achieving victory! Genex Dragon, end this!" Genex Dragon fired off one last blast of energy, especially delivered to Taylor, "And since you life points go to zero, then so does your partners!"

Taylor: 0

Tyler: xxxx

Gabriella: 4300

Jason: 4500

Sonya: "And Gabriella wins it for the team! The winner of the exhibition match is Jason Hutchins and Gabriella Cheshire!"

The crowds cheered on the team for a job well done.


Katherine: "THEY DID IT! I KNEW THEY COULD DO IT!"

Ken: "Now, if it wasn't for the lack of dramatic dialogue, I'd say this is one of the most intense duels I had ever watched!"


Back in Goodwin's private box, Goodwin was rather pleased with the results, although it was not the ones expected.

"I guess that guy wasn't a Signer after all, eh?" Isis teased.

"...Then we'll just have to try even harder."
