In the middle of the desert in Nevada, near the Grand Canyon, Skyler Edge had found Ryan's Duel Runner abandoned near the canyon's edge. He seemed to be on the phone talking with someone.
Skyler: Yeah, I found his Runner out in the middle of nowhere… No, he just disappeared… Yeah, I'm gonna keep looking…
Skyler hung up the phone and sighed heavily.
Meanwhile, back at Miller Park, the Duel continued on. Makoto had just defeated the first member of Team Iron Legend and was now dueling against Vincent. She had Wattchimera (Lv.6 1400/1200) and the Continuous Spell Wattcine on the field while Vincent had Mythological Fortress Beast Leviathan (Lv.12 0/5000).
Makoto (LP 2300): *thinks: Okay, he can't attack on his first turn, so my Life Points are safe. I better at least do something to help Rita when her turn comes up.*
Vincent (LP 4000): *draws* I summon Scrap Recycler (Lv.3 900/1200)! And when he's summoned, I can send a Machine monster from my Deck to my Graveyard! *sends card to Graveyard* And now I'll use Leviathan's effect to destroy your chimera!
Leviathan Dragon fired its turrets at Wattchimera and Makoto, destroying him and inflicting Makoto with 700 points of damage.
Vincent: And now I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Wattcine Spell!
A mystical space vortex appeared and destroyed Makoto's Wattcine Spell Card.
Vincent: Now I activate MY Factory of Myth!
The field once again turned into the ancient, mythical factory.
Makoto (LP 1600): Not again!
Vincent: And that ends my turn!
Makoto: *draws* I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Wattchimera! And then he'll attack you directly!
Wattchimera lunged at Vincent and inflicted him with 1400 points of damage.
Makoto: And when Wattchimera deals direct damage, I can place a random card in your hand and place it on top of your Deck!
Makoto walked over to Vincent and sent a card from his hand to the top of his Deck.
Makoto: I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Vincent (LP 2600): *draws* Now I summon Jinzo-Returner (Lv.3 600/1400)! And while he does have the power to attack you directly, I'll have him attack Wattchimera instead!
Jinzo-Returner charged toward Wattchimera, but its snake tail pierced Jinzo-Returner and destroyed him, inflicting Vincent with 800 points of damage.
Vincent (LP 1800): And now Jinzo-Returner's effect activates! Allowing me to summon Jinzo (Lv.6 2400/1500) from my Graveyard! Jinzo, attack!
Jinzo shot a laser from his visor and destroyed Wattchimera, inflicting Makoto with 1000 points of damage.
Vincent: And now Scrap Recycler will finish you off!
Scrap Recycler rolled toward Makoto and just slapped her with its junk hand, reducing her Life Points to 0.
Vincent: Then I'll end my turn by sending Jinzo to the Graveyard to summon Jinzo-Lord (Lv.8 2600/1600)!
The annoying crowd cheered like they always do and Makoto went back to her team.
Makoto (LP 0): I'm sorry, guys. I did the best I could.
Jeremy: You did great, Makoto.
Colin: Eeh, she could have done a little better.
Rita smacked Colin in the back of the head.
Rita: You asshole! Anyway, I'm up.
Rita then took the stage, ready to duel against Vincent.
Vincent (LP 1800): Now, who are you exactly? I thought Team Rose had experienced duelists, not wannabe rookies.
Rita (LP 4000): Oh, you are so dead, asshole! *draws* I activate Graceful Charity to draw 3 more cards and discard 2! *draws and discards* I now remove my Light Unhappy Maiden and Dark Pitch-Dark Dragon to Special Summon Chaos Sorcerer (Lv.6 2300/2000)! Then I summon Dunames Dark Witch (Lv.4 1800/1050)! I'll end my turn by placing this card face-down and activating the Continuous Spell The Dark Door! Now we can only attack with one monster this turn!
Vincent: A face-down? You should know that face-downs are useless against the Jinzos! *draws* Now I use Leviathan Dragon's effect to destroy Chaos Sorcerer!
Leviathan Dragon fired his turrets at Chaos Sorcerer.
Rita: I activate the Quickplay Spell Shadow Shaw! When a Dark monster is targeted by a card effect, I can negate that effect for the turn!
A shadowy barrier appeared in front of Chaos Sorcerer and absorbed the turret shells.
Vincent: Fine, I still have an attack though! Jinzo-Lord, attack her Dark Witch!
Rita: I activate my face-down Quickplay Spell Sun Shaw! This protects a Light monster from being destroyed in battle this turn and that damage is redcued to 0!
A barrier of radiant light appeared in front of Dunames Dark Witch and stopped Jinzo-Lord's attack.
Rita: *mutters: Thank you, Makoto.*
Vincent: I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Rita: *draws* Now I release Chaos Sorcerer and Dunames Dark Witch to summon Dark Magician of Chaos (Lv.8 2800/2600)!
Vincent: Dark Magician of Chaos?
Ringford: Dark Magician of Chaos? !
Necros: Hahaha! Looks like one of their good cards slipped your radar!
Ringford: She shouldn't have that card! It's not registered to her Deck!
Necros: Then it's probably one of her teammates'.
Rita: And when he's summoned, I can add a Spell from my Graveyard to my hand! *adds Shadow Shaw to hand* Now, Dark Magician of Chaos will destroy your Jinzo-Lord!
Dark Magician of Chaos blasted a chaotic magic sphere at Jinzo-Lord and destroyed him, inflicting Vicnent with 200 points of damage.
Vincent (LP 1600): Factory of Myth now has 3 Counters on it!
Rita: I end my turn with a face-down!
Vincent: *draws* I'll set this monster face-down in defense mode and switch Scrap Recycler to Defense mode. Then I'll end my turn!
Rita: *Thinks: He didn't use his Leviathan's effect! He must know I only have one Shadow Shaw. If he does, he is such a dumbass.* *draws* I'll have Dark Magician of Chaos attack your Scrap Recycler!
Dark Magician of Chaos shot another sphere of chaotic magic at Scrap Recycler and destroyed it.
Vincent: I activate the Trap Self-Destruction! When a Machine-type monster is destroyed, I can send cards from either player's Deck to the Graveyard equal to the Level of the destroyed monster, and if I choose my Deck, I can select which cards I want to send! I now send 3 more Machine monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard to activate my Factory! So now my Factory gains 4 Counters, 3 from the monsters I sent and 1 more for Scrap Recycler, totaling now at about 7 Counters!
Rita: *thinks: He's trying to summon another one of those Fortress Beasts!* I'll set one monster face-down in defense mode and one card face-down! That ends my turn!
Vincent: *draws* *thinks: I should use Leviathan's effect to take out her Dark Magician of Chaos, but that face-down is probably her Shadow Shaw, that card she brought back from her Graveyard. Gah, I should have used his effect last turn! Oh well, I'll just make my move!* I now release my face-down monster to summon another Jinzo! Then I'll release him to summon another Jinzo-Lord! Then I'll equip him with Machine Conversion Factory to increase his powers by 300 points! Now, attack Dark Magician of Chaos!
Jinzo-Lord blasted a psychic shockwave at Dark Magician of Chaos, destroying him, removing him from play and inflicting Rita with 100 points of damage.
Vincent: That ends my turn!
Jeremy: Wow, Rita's doing pretty well; she's only lost 100 Life Points so far.
Colin: Yeah, I taught her well, didn't I?
Makoto: Colin, if you were dueling, you'd be already down to 100 Life Points!
Jeremy: Buurn! Nice one, Makoto!
Makoto: I've been saving that one, actually.
Colin: Great, now there're two of them!
Jeremy: Now you know I felt when you met Rita.
Rita (LP 3900): Achoo! Is someone talking about me behind my back?
Rita then turned back to her team and they hid behind the bench, to avert her evil glare.
Rita: Anyway, it's my move! *draws* I'll summon Dark Resonator (Lv.3 1300/300) in defense mode and end my turn!
Vincent: A Dark Resonator? I see what you're trying to do. Because of Dark Resonator's effect, it can't be destroyed in battle once a turn, and because of your Dark Door, I can only attack once, but I still have my Leviathan and it will use its effect to destroy your Dark Resonator! *draws*
Leviathan fired its turrets at Dark Resonator, but a shadowy wall appeared in front of it and stopped the turret shells.
Rita: I use Shadow Shaw to prevent Dark Resonator's destruction! So he's safe for the time being!
Vincent: Fine! I'll end my turn!
Rita: My move! *draws* I summon Mask of Darkness (Lv.2 900/400)! And now I tune Dark Resonator with Mask of Darkness to Synchro Summon the Synchro Tuner Twilit Knight (Lv.5 2100/1500)! Then I'll equip him with the Equip Spell Mage Power! This increases his attack power for each Spell and Trap I have! There are 3, so he gains an extra 1500 attack points! Now, Twilit Knight, attack Jinzo-Lord!
Twilit Knight unsheathed his sword and used it to cut Jinzo-Lord down, destroying him and inflicting Vincent with 700 points of damage.
Rita: That ends my turn!
Vincent (LP 900): *draws* Now that my Factory of Myth has 10 Myth Counters, I can send it to the Graveyard so I can Special Summon Mythological Fortress Beast Hydra (Lv.12 3000/3000)!
Out of Vincent's ancient factory came a nine-headed serpent-like creature that looked like it was made out of iron bars, balconies, cannons and turrets.
Vincent: You like? It's my own, personal war machine!
Rita: Oh please! My boyfriend's got a bigger war machine than that!
Colin: You're damn right I do!
Jeremy: The way she said that sounded kind of weird.
Vincent: You're attacking my pride now, you bitch! First, Leviathan's effect will activate and will destroy your Twilit Knight!
Leviathan fired his turrets at Twilit Knight, destroying him and inflicting Rita with 1800 points of damage.
Vincent: And now Hydra will finish you off!
Hydra was about to launch all of its missiles from its mouth when chains suddenly tied all of the heads together.
Rita (LP 2100): I just activated my Trap Shadow Spell! This prevents your monster from attacking or switching battle positions and decreases its attack power by 700!
Vincent: Crap! I end my turn!
Rita: *draws* I'll set this monster face-down in defense mode and one card face-down! That ends my turn!
Vincent: *draws* Leviathan, destroy her face-down!
Leviathan fired shells from its turrets and destroyed Rita's face-down Mystical Elf (Lv.4 800/2000), inflicting her with 400 points of damage.
Vincent: I'll then set this monster face down in defense mode and one card face down! That end my turn.
Rita (LP 1700): *draws* I'll activate the Spell Card Plentiful Bounty to draw until I have 6 cards in my hand! *draws 6 cards* Now I remove Dunames Dark Witch and Mystical Elf from play to Special Summon Soul of Purity and Light (Lv.6 2000/1800)! Then I activate the Spell Frontline Base to summon W-Wing Catapult (Lv.4 1300/1500) from my hand! Then I Normal Summon V-Tiger Jet (Lv.4 1600/1800)! And now I'll remove them from play to form VW-Tiger Catapult (Lv.6 2000/2100)! Then I'll use VW-Tiger Catapult's effect to switch the Battle Position of your Leviathan by discarding a card from my hand! And then I'll have Soul of Purity and Light attack your Leviathan!
Soul of Purity and Light fired a blast of light at Leviathan.
Vincent: I activate the Trap Superior Barrier! I equip this card to Leviathan and I take No Battle damage! And because you attacked it I can send this card to the graveyard to Avoid Leviathan's destruction!
The blast of light bounced off of Leviathan and he wasn't destroyed.
Rita: I end my turn with one card face-down!
Vincent: *draws* I now sacrifice my face-down monster to summon my last Jinzo! Now your Shadow Spell Trap is useless!
Jinzo fired a laser beam at the chains, destroying them and releasing Hydra.
Vincent: Then I'll switch Leviathan back into defense mode! Then I'll use his effect to destroy your Tiger Catapult!
Leviathan fired another series of turret shells at Tiger Catapult and destroyed him, inflicting Rita with 1000 points of damage.
Vincent: And now Hydra will attack your Soul of Purity and Light!
Hydra charged up the cannons in its nine heads.
Rita (LP 700): Not so fast! I activate the Quickplay Spell Shirnk! This halves your monster's original attack power! And in addition to Soul of Purity and Light's ability to decrease the attack of your monsters by 300 during your Battle Phase, Hydra's attack power should now be at 1200!
Soul of Purity and Light shot a radiant blast at Hydra and when it was hit with the blast, the charged cannons in each of Hydra's mouths exploded, inflicting Vincent with 800 points of damage. Rita waved as if to say goodbye to Hydra.
Rita: Bye-bye, bad bot!
Colin: She got it!
Makoto: Those things aren't invincible after all!
The Hydra heads then stuck out of the smoke and they hissed, snarled and seemed pissed off at Rita.
Rita: Wh-What the…?
Colin: No way!
Vincent (LP 100): Yes way! All Mythological Fortress Beasts can negate their own destruction 3 times!
Jeremy: So if you destroy it once this turn, you still need to destroy it 3 more to actually destroy it.
Vincent: And since I used up my attack this turn, I'll have to end my turn!
Rita: *thinks: Damn! Okay, I just need to draw one good card to win this! Hopefully, some of Colin's luck has rubbed off on me.* *draws* I activate Monster Reborn! And I got the perfect card in mind! The one I discarded from the effect of Tiger Catapult! Come back to life, Light and Darkness Dragon (Lv.8 2800/2400)!
A bright pillar of light rose up behind Rita and the Light and Darkness Dragon rose up as if it was brought back to life.
Colin: Light and Darkness Dragon? I forgot she had that.
Rita: Light and Darkness Dragon, destroy his Jinzo!
Light and Darkness Dragon fired a silver energy blast at Jinzo, destroying him and reducing Vincent's Life Points to 0.
Rita (LP 700): And now that Jinzo's gone, Shadow Spell reactivates!
The chains once again tied Hydra's heads together, preventing it from attacking or switching battle positions and reducing its attack to 2300.
Vincent (LP 0): Yeah, yeah, whatever!
Vincent went back to his team while Rita Turned back to her team and gave the Thumbs up. Team Iron Legend didn't like the look of this.
Xavier: No way! They're not supposed to be this good.
Kane: We knew it would be a tough duel, but that's because we thought Ali Clairoux would be dueling, not their slutty girlfriends.
Zero: It doesn't matter!
The other members look to Zero.
Zero: They haven't destroyed any of the Fortress Beasts yet and Soon they will be too overwhelmed to be able to stop them.
Kane: You're right. Now it's my turn!
