(Note: Storm does the normal singing, while Akira will do the rapping, just for fun... ^^")
(Instrumental) The scene begins as there are 4 D-Wheels on a starting line as while the lights on the track was counting down, a few frames appears such as a hand throttles on, a foot on a pedal, then a duelist's vizor shines and smoke appears from the fast spinning tyres as they began to speed away after the light turns green.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) The title appears from the smokes.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) 4 duelists, Amber in the lead, Storm at the second, followed by Kira and Akira passed through the title as they summoned out their monsters.
(jouhou kiri ga naku Update utsushidasu Display) The scene shifts to Amber,fixing her ride as she wipes off her forehead with the back of her hand and looks outside, which it seems to be sunset.
(kangaeru koto wasure Never ends, Games that never ends) Kira was leaning against the wall at the alley and biting his sandwiches as he looks to the side, full of people walking by.
(sono maki nukedasou Stand up, Get out) Akira was riding his D-Wheel while racing towards the sunset with a big smile on his face as he shifts his D-Wheel and rides it in reverse.
(Listen up kokoro no koe Oh yeah) Storm was at the bridge while sitting on his ride, looking at the sea and grasp the necklace tightly.
(narihibiiteru siren That says kizukazu doko made No way) Yusei and Bruno are inside the garage, trying to upgrade their engine and testing it.
(modorenai on the freeway You go… don't know why you go) Jack and Crow are on the streets, speeds away as Carly waves her hand happily in her car, making Jack speeds up faster and leaving Crow with a sweatdrop.
(mou tome ni dekiru nara… Back in your life) Aki and the twins are helping out Martha at the orphanege as the kids are playing with Trudge and Mina.
(Hear my voice kikoeru nara Right now) The Signers' Marks glows brightly, warned them about a threat is appearing soon.
(honmono no tsuyosa to wa jibun no tame ni dake ja naku) The scene then shifts at the stadium where the camera zooms in at the opponents of Team Elements, which is Team Ace with their Sacred Beasts, Team Eternal with the Wicked beasts and one other team with a huge shadow beast behind the team.
(dare ni de mo sashidaseru sono te~ (Don't stop, You don't stop…)] Team Elements and Team 5Ds was ready to go for a duel as Storm closes his eyes and the illusion of Kizuna appears at his back with a smile.

[Ride on! Right time, Ride on! Right time (hashiri makure Like a Cheetah)] Team 5Ds summons out their ace Synchro Monsters.

(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) The scene changes back to the Neo Domino City in peace once again as the sun rises up without the Ark Cradle.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) All of the 5Ds characters and Team Elements watching the sunrise as Kira walk towards a portal that leads him back to his time and the music ends.
Chapter 35: Light Over Darkness
Here's a recap from the previous chapter of a duel:
(Turn 13: Amber = 4000, Iruka = 4000) (SC: Amber = 2, Iruka = 6)
On Amber's field:
Number of cards on her hands = 2
Divine Phoenix Maka = (4200/2700)
And a facedown
On Iruka's field:
Number of cards on her hands = 6
And a facedown.
Alright, let's end this duel and Break it Down!
Iruka: Well now, shall we get this duel started?
Amber: *smirks* You betcha! Time to end this battle once and for all! My team will be the ones that will advanced to the semis! You better remember that!
Iruka: *chuckles* My, such big words coming from a little girl who doesn't know her fate of being defeated by my strongest Wicked monsters of all time. And with that, allow me to begin my advances!
Amber: Bring it on! There's no way I'm chickened out from this duel!
(Turn 13: Amber = 4000, Iruka = 4000) (SC: Amber = 2, Iruka = 6)
Iruka: I'm going to start for the preparation of your demise, mortal! *draw* First of all, I activate the trap card that my disciple prepared earlier for me, Reinforced Truth! When I played this card on the field, I can special summon out 1 level 2 or lower Warrior-Type monsters from my deck and the card that I will special summon is Hero Kid! (300/600)
A beam of light streams down on her D-Wheel, which she doesn't seem to like it and covers her eyes, despite that she already has her black hood on and also wearing a helmet with dark visors on them and when a little portal opens up, there's a kid in fully armor flying out from the hole and follows along her D-Wheel. Geez, if she's afraid of getting a light covers up her eyes, why did she use the light monsters in the first place? At least try using a Zombie deck, for crying out loud…
Iruka: That's not all it can do. When Hero Kid is special summoned, I can special summon 2 more Hero Kids from my deck to the field! Come on out, my apprentice! (300/600)
As the current Hero Kid is on the field is wavering his hand, trying to call out his partners, two more appears out from it, and it was ready to take down anything in its path, despite that they aren't full fledged heroes. These guys sure has determination that I can salute to them but now, it's not a good time to admire it and I should lead my team to the next round!
Amber: 3 Hero Kids… I can tell what's going to happen next…
Iruka: Do you really think that you're the only who can do something that is impossible? Even without the cards that I've used on the field, I can find another way to summon out my card on the field. And now, onto the main event…
As she was about to summon out her ace monster, the cloud was suddenly turned dark and also, not only that the thunder clashes in the dark clouds, but it also began to take form of a tornado among the clouds, leaving the large circle gap right in the middle of it and the three Hero Kids enters right in it.
Iruka: O thee, the dark sphere of the Netherworld, the beast that rivals with the Beast of the Lights, accept these sacrifices for your grand return and blacken the world with your overwhelming darkness!
The chants caused the dark hollow tentacles capturing the 3 Hero Kids and entangled them tightly before pulling them into a Dark Sphere, absorbing their lives before descends from the dark sky.
Iruka: I summon thee… The Wicked Eraser! (?/?)
Amber: *gets worried for a bit* A Dark Sphere… this monster's appearance looks kinda similar to the Winged Dragon of Ra – Sphere Mode but for some reason, it overwhelms my monster just by its appearance and it hasn't took any appearance just yet… but I'm not going to back down from a fight! *smiles widely* This is MY kind of fight!
Kira: - Oi, don't let your head being fooled by its appearance. They didn't called that monster the most Wicked of the Wicked beast for a reason… -
Amber: We'll see about that! I activate my trap card—
Iruka: *shouted at her* HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
Amber: *surprised for a bit* Huh? What's wrong? Did you make a wrong move or something?
Iruka: *chuckles* It's not that… it seems like I've forgotten to tell my Avatar's effect. You see, until my second turn of summoning my monster out, you cannot activate any Spells or Trap cards!
Amber: Tch, I knew that's gonna happen… but I don't have to worry about my monster's attack since that it is already strong enough to take on your monster!
Iruka: It seems like you overlooked my monster's power… you see, its attack are determined by any of the strongest monster on the field and it will also gain an additional 100 ATK and DEF with that monster as an extra boost. Therefore…
Without a doubt, this is going to be troublesome and I can see where this will lead up to… not only that it stops me from using my trap and Speed Spell Cards, but also her monster is even stronger with a difference of 100. As in right now, it began to shape shifting into my Maka but it was all covered in black and drops of black ooze coming out from that monster's physical look and wings alone is telling me that monster is even stronger than mine.
(Avatar's ATK/DEF = 0 to 4300/2800)
Iruka: Now go, destroy the original one and show it to her your gruesome power! Black Burning Stream!
Her Wicked Avatar began to advance by flapping its black wings to the sky and gathers a lot of dark energy that was around the dark sky which it covers all over its body toward its mouth, charging up for an attack and so does my Maka with one of its own blazing fireball. But something unexpected happens. Her monster stopped attack suddenly and she just laughed at me… geez, I just hate duelists that play around with their monster and she is no exception, just like those Yliasters.
Iruka: *chuckles* It seems like you are lucky this time, young mortal. Due to Reinforced Truth, I cannot declare an attack in this turn. By setting 2 cards face down, this will be it for now… now then, I want to see if you are able to turn things around since that the only thing you can activate is your monster's effect but judging by the way you duel, I can already tell that you REALLY rely much on your set cards… I want to see you struggle on this one…
(Turn 14: Amber = 4000, Iruka = 4000) (SC: Amber = 3, Iruka = 7)
This just great, she just summons out a monster that makes a big difference of any monster on the field. And to make things worse, I can't use any of my set cards or even activates a Speed Spell… if I can draw a card that can help me out, that would be so great.
Amber: Here goes something… *draw*
Akira: - Say, girly. Is it a bad time to say that you've been cornered like a trapped rat with baits all over the place, waiting for you to being tricked? -
Amber: *sigh* You just have to say it to me, aren't you? This is seriously annoying… I don't have any specific card that can counter that monster's effect until her next end phase.
Kira: - So, apparently… you just dodge a bullet by a mile in this turn, huh? -
Amber: Technically, yeah… but as long as her monster is still in place, no matter what kind of monster I tried to play, her monster will power up each time we tried to summon something stronger.
Kira: - In the meantime, I think that you better strengthen your defense until your end phase. Can you do that? -
Amber: Usually I don't take any commands from anyone, but in this case, it might not be hurt to follow some advices from my friends from time to time…
Kira: - So I'm a friend now? -
Amber: But still, you can be annoying at times… *take a look at the hand and just sigh* I set one more trap cards face down and I set a monster. With that, I end my turn…
Akira: - Get ready, cause she's gonna be using a big gun right at you, girly! -
Like hell I'll let that happen! If she's bringing out the big gun in her disposal, I might as well bring along my own trick up on my sleeves! Believe me, she won't see this coming at all.
(Turn 15: Amber = 4000, Iruka = 4000) (SC: Amber = 4, Iruka = 8)
Iruka: *laughs madly* Is that all you can do now? Staying low to the submission and all on your knees? It seems like you are about to reach the end of your despair! But don't worry, I'll be sure to make your partner in black jacket would do the trick… *realized* Oh yes, I remember about that boy, for some reason, he can't duel due to injuries of some sort… which means… *chuckles before pointing at Amber* it's the end of the line for you!
Kira: - Can someone find me a zipper so that I can shut her trap already? Just hearing these three witches mumbling some mumbo jumbo is already annoyed the heck out of me… -
Akira: - You know, I kinda like listening to what the girls said just now. Heck, if they are cosplaying as a witch and turns out to be just harmless girls, man, I think I just hit a jackpot… -
Kira: - Is that so? *chuckles* -
Akira: - Hey, why are you taking out your black book all of the sudden and what are you scribbling in there? -
And before the feud that I've listened for a while is kept going on right now, I just turned off the communicator and better focused on my duel. Honestly, where did Storm get these guys that acts like a child while the future is at stake, no thanks to the Yliaster? There are times that I can't understand how men acts over such a thing… even having Jack around was already hard enough with his large pile of bills over his expensive cup of coffee. Now I understand how Crow feels about it…
Amber: (Alright, Amber… I better calm my nerves down and better focused on the duel ahead of me… don't let my game being thrown off just because of the silly talk that I've overheard just now…) *takes a deep breath*
Iruka: Oh ho~ What's this? Why are you feeling quiet all of the sudden? Does this mean that I was right? Is it the end of a line for you?
Amber: Not really. *looks at her with a confident smile* I can tell that right after this, I'm gonna end your reign with those monsters that you have and carved my way to victory! Besides, in the end, the light will always overwhelm the darkness, right?
Iruka: I beg to differ, but this isn't what it looks like in this situation. Oh well, I might as well end this battle and lead you to despair! *draw* First of all, I summon out my The Tricky by discarding a card from my hand. (2000/1200)
And because of that, even her Wicked Avatar begin to morph into the dark version of the Tricky with an additional boost of 100 on its ATK and DEF. It's a good thing that this monster only copies the one with the strongest attack on the field, much to my chargin. But no matter, that alone would be sufficed for my comeback later on…
(Wicked Avatar's ATK/DEF = 0 to 2100/1300)
Iruka: And now, I can sacrifice my The Tricky in order to Tribute Summon my Strong Wind Dragon! (2400/1000)
And without a doubt, the Wicked Avatar began to morph once again and this time, it is the dark version of Strong Wind Dragon and its wings are also dripped with black ooze that literally makes the road on the ground creates a crater on it. She only sacrificed her monster, just to summon out a better one? That's a waste in my book…
(Wicked Avatar's ATK/DEF = 2100 to 2500/1300 to 1100)
Iruka: I guess this is where the part on I should defeat you at this time. But before I do so, I activate Speed World 2's effect! By removing 4 Speed Counters, since I have 1 Speed Spell in my hand, you will take an additional 800 damage!
(Iruka's SC = 8 to 4)
While I was brace for cover on that incoming thunder attack, instead of the usual white one, the black one struck on me instead and I can feel the pain rushing in my body from that black strike. Is this… is this something which is similar to the one that Yliasters planted on the duel as well?
(Amber's LP = 4000 to 3200)
Iruka: *chuckles* At this time, I activate my Speed Spell – Silver Contrails! When I played this card on the field, by removing 2 Speed Counters…
(Iruka's SC = 4 to 2)
Iruka: I can increase my Strong Wind Dragon's ATK by 1000! Now, acquire your new powers, my Dragon!
A stream of wind began to flow inside that dragon and as it roars out in anger, in this turn, its attack, claws and the beat of its wings is getting stronger by that card's effect. I can tell that she's going for the kill. If I can withstand in this round, I know that I can turn things around in a heartbeat!
(Strong Wind Dragon's ATK = 2400 to 3400)
(Wicked Avatar's ATK = 2500 to 3500)
Iruka: This is the end for you! Now go! My wicked Avatar will destroy your set card!
The Avatar flaps its wing and dived down for the kill and since that it is only a replica of the original one, it doesn't do much damage on me but instead, the set card that I've prepared for her was none other than Giant Germ (1000/100) and due to its effect, when this card is destroyed, my opponent suffers 1000 damage and as an added bonus to me, I can special summon another 2 Giant Germs in defense mode from my deck. (1000/100) And the look on her face when she's receiving my surprise card… it was priceless, despite her face was covered by her vizor.
(Iruka's LP = 4000 to 3000)
Iruka: How dare you! Making a fool out of me!
Amber: It's your fault to fell for it… don't blame me for it. You just got suckered by my tricks!
Iruka: But a little damage was a small payment to my victory. With a huge difference between my monster's ATK and your puny DEF will soon be shattered! Now go, Strong Wind Dragon! Blow away her monster and end this battle once and for all!
And this time, it was the real one that spread its wing out and dived down for a kill. Usually, this is where it ends for me in this turn and she just laughed her butt off for my defeat, but after that small explosion occurs, something unexpected happens…
(Iruka's LP = 3000 to 2000)
(Amber's LP = 3200 to 1400)
Iruka: What? That's impossible! You're still survived even after that attack? But how…?
Amber: I just have a little friend in my hand that will help me out in this kind of situation… and its name is Stronghold Guardian! (0/1500) During the damage calculation, I can discard this card in order to raise my monster's DEF by 1500. And that's the reason why I can easily save from your final attack that you've placed onto me. *laughs for a bit* Oh boy, you just got suckered out not once, but twice in a row! Nothin' beats that!
Iruka: That's impossible! I… I end my turn!
(Strong Wind Dragon's ATK = 3400 to 2400)
(Wicked Avatar's ATK = 3500 to 2500)
Amber: And with that, I can now use my Spell and Trap cards once again. You better get your heads up cause it's payback time for what you did to me!
(Turn 16: Amber = 14, Iruka = 2000) (SC: Amber = 5, Iruka = 3)
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, what we just witnessed here was a total miracle! Despite the odds that was against her for the last two rounds, she was still able to dodge the final blow on her and leaving her opponent in such surprise as well! But, the odds are also against her as well since that her opponent controlled such a strong monster that will forced Amber to think of a way to defeat it once and for all! Can she do it?
Amber: Here goes something… my trump card that will change things around! *draw* Okay now, you ready for a beatdown of your life? I activate my trap card, Call of the Haunted! With this card, I can special summon back my monster from my graveyard, and it will be—
Iruka: *panics for a bit* I won't let that happen! I activate my trap card, Raigeki Break! I discarded my last card on my hand in order to stop you from summoning out your monster! Now, shatter away your trap card!
It looks like she managed to dodge the first bullet and she just laughs at my attempt, but that wasn't I was aiming for. I just wanted to know what kind of a trap card that she has on that field and she just wasted it for good. This is a good time for me to end this matter once and for all and also make another surprise that she won't seeing it coming at all.
Amber: You fell for my trap… I wasn't about to summon out a monster, you silly witch!
Iruka: *shocked* W-What? T-then, it was all for naught?
Amber: By the looks of it, yeah! But first, I switched my Giant Germ in attack mode and don't be fooled by its look. This little guy is stronger than what you think!
Iruka: *confused* Huh?
Amber: Here's my real intention! I activate my last trap card, The Light Rays of Hope! Here's how it works, by removing from play one Light Synchro Monster that I have on the field, I can transfer its full attack onto one monster that I have on the field. And since I'm removing my Divine Phoenix Maka from play, my Giant Germ will gain an additional 3600 ATK onto it! But as a counter payment, I took damage of 100 LP for every level of the banished card and I have to discard one Spell Card as well. Luckily for me, I still have my Speed Spell card that I've draw out earlier.
By discarding my last card in my hand, the pair of wings that was materialized at my back began to flap and separates from me as I took the damage for it. And my Maka enters inside the Giant Germ, which in return grew larger and covered in flames. I guess this monster can't take the heat, but this is where it ends!
(Amber's LP = 1400 to 400)
(Giant Germ's ATK = 1000 to 4600)
(Wicked Avatar's ATK/DEF = 2500 to 4700 / 1100 to 200)
Amber: I might not be able to defeat your Avatar, but your blunder in placing your Strong Wind Dragon in attack mode is all what I needed the most! Now go! Break that dragon down and let us advance to the next level!
Iruka: *stutters for a bit* No… it can't be… *screams in anger* NOO!
(Iruka's LP = 2000 to 0)
(Duel End. Winner: Team Elements)
MC: That is it, ladies and gentlemen! The Wicked monsters have fallen to the power of the will of Team Elements! Despite the odds of facing for the team, they don't seem to bother about it and managed to pulled out a miracle out of nowhere! And because of that, Team Elements will move on to the semifinals! But one question remains… who would be their opponent in the next round? Let's keep tune in to find out! But for now, up next, it will be Team 5Ds will duel against Team Ragnarok to find a place for the semis as well! Be sure to capture that moment!
Like I said before, nothing is impossible if you kept believe in your deck. Besides, having a Variety deck which consists of different archetypes sure helps me a lot in dueling, rather than stick to one group. When I returned back to my pitstop, I can see that the twins are heading towards me with a smile on their faces and Yusei just approached to me as I gave him a nod before taking off my helmet.
Rua: *gets excited* Wow, Amber-nee-chan! I can't believe that you managed to win!
Ruka: *nods happily* Despite the odds that was against you, you kept on going, Amber-nee-chan.
Amber: *smiles at them and pat on Rua's head* Aww, thanks, you guys. *looks at Yusei* I guess it's your turn to make a move, huh?
Yusei: Yeah, let's just hope that we can duel each other at the finals. *offers a handshake*
Amber: *shakes his hand* I can't wait for that to happen.
And after that shake, the 5Ds went to their pitstop and prepared themselves for their battle. Meanwhile, Kira and Akira walks towards me and congratulate me for my success. And as the day continues on, the defeated Team Eternal walk towards us and for some reason, they wasn't that mighty when we first met.
Kasumi: U-um… *fiddling the fingers* C-congratulations for your win…
Kira: Eh? What's this? Why they suddenly turned into a soft harmless kitten?
Elena: Um, you see… *gets nervous for a bit* H-how should we say this…?
Iruka: What you guys see there is only our act to fit in the character for the cards that we have… but since that we lost in this tournament, we can't put up the façade anymore and just… be us…
Amber: Is that so? (Man, things can be weird at times… but that what make things interesting, no doubt about that) So, what brings you here?
The question that I asked them makes that surprised for a little bit before their team leader handed them their emblem to me. When I think about it, Team Ace does the same thing by handed in their emblem to Storm. I guess this is what they put the trust in winning the tournament to our team then. I gladly took the emblem and placed it under the Team Ace, reminding them that we will win to the end, making the girls happy before they took their leave.
Akira: What did I tell you guys? There's more than meets the eye.
Kira: *looks at Akira* Oh geez, thanks a lot, Captain Obvious…
Akira: *confused* Eh?
And as both of them continued to argue with each other, I have a different set of mind in this state. I guess there is something I need to discuss with Storm for a bit before the next round. This is one problem that really needed to fix before things will go haywire and I can't afford to lose this battle, no matter what!
And with that, Team Elements will go on to the next round. What kind of discussion that she wanted to have with Storm? Let's Break It Down to the next chapter!
The card of the day:
The Light Rays of Hope (Normal Trap Card)
By discarding one Spell Card, you can remove from play one Light Synchro Monster from your graveyard to apply its attack onto a monster on the field. You take 100 damage for every level of the banished card.
