Ulrich362: Let the fun begin.
The next day...
It is time. The Lancers walked to where the Signers are, and find Chojiro with Amanda, Frank, and Tarren.
"It's time, so are you guys ready?" Leo asked.
They nodded.
"I hope we are." Alex mentioned a bit nervously knowing she'll have to face Sly sometime.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Yusei smiled.
Alex nodded a bit.
"Then let's get going." Yuya smiled.
They walked to a huge arena to where the Friendship Cup is taking place. There were several duelists and people in the stands. They looked as they see a fierce competition.
"Hello Alex, it's been a while hasn't it?" asked a voice from behind her.
Freezing she turned.
Sly was smirking. "So, we never resolved our deal did we? This tournament should be a decent place to deal with that."
"S-S-Sly." She shook before asking, "W-W-What have you b-been up t-t-to?"
"Improving my dueling, for when I beat you." he smirked just before a blonde woman walked up to all the duelists.
They turned to her.
"If you all wouldn't mind going to the waiting room, we're about to start the Friendship Cup." She explained.
They nodded as they walked there.
"Ok duel fans, you've waited long enough for the Friendship Cup so let's get started right away." the woman smiled. "First up we have Crow Hogan going up against Aura Sentia."
"Huh who knew." Aura guessed before telling Crow. "I have a prediction this will be a tough battle."
"I can go easy on you if you want. I won't Synchro Summon." Crow offered.
"Please. Don't hold back." Aura told him. "That would be your undoing."
Crow nodded.
Aura got situated on her Duel Runner.
"Action Field: Crossover Acceleration activated." The Duel Runners called.

The two of them raced off as Crow deliberately slowed down to fall behind Aura.
Aura raced off on the loop as the announcer cried, "Whoa! And Aura is fast as a noble steed as she takes the first turn!"
"Not bad Aura." Crow grinned.
Aura 1st Turn:
"Well guess it's my move! Draw!" Aura cried drawing. "And I'll place 1 monster down in defense mode!" A face-down monster was shown. "And by playing two more face-downs that's all."
Crow 1st Turn:
"Huh, already?" Crow asked looking at his hand. "Well that's how it works I guess. You're probably about to lose Aura."
Aura merely grabbed an Action Card waiting for Crow. "Give me your best shot."
"Ok, since you have a monster and I don't I can summon Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn in attack mode." Crow stated.
A black feathered warrior appeared.

"See when you activated a trap by anything other then playing it regularly this card negates, and destroys that trap. And since you have more monsters then me you can't stop this."
Crow's eyes widened as his trap shattered. "Not bad Aura. In that case I'll use Sirocco the Dawn's ability to add the attack points of all of my Blackwings to Bora the Spear."
Bora the Spear: (ATK: 1700 + 1300 + 2000 = 5000)
"Oh, and Bora inflicts piercing damage." he added grabbing an Action Card.
"So your planning on attacking now?" Aura asked him.

Crow nodded. "Then that's it for now."
Meanwhile...
"That was a close one." Yuya admitted.
"Prediction Princess' are tricky." Stacy admitted.
"So is Crow." Yusei mentioned before pausing. "Is she scared of something?"
"Huh?" They turned to him.
"Over there." Yusei mentioned indicating a girl who was staring at one of the competitors with horror on her face.
"Hey isn't that..." Julia said finding her familiar.
"Yeah, I think it is." Kit agreed.
"Who's she looking at?" Dipper asked as they looked over seeing Yuri-Bot was there smirking. "Who's that?"
"No idea, but whoever it is he's clearly scaring her." Yuto pointed out.
"Should we do something?" Julie asked.
"What can we do?" Gong asked.
Declan only stayed silent before saying, "Go to her Riley. Assure her there's nothing to fear."
Riley looked surprised before nodding and walking over to her.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Stacy asked.
"Leaving others in fear would be a terrible thing to do." Declan answered.
Stacy nodded.
Meanwhile back at the duel...
"Wow! I Melissa Trail in all my years never seen anyone with a flip monster like that survived that bucking of a turn!" The announcer cried.
"You're up Aura, so lets see what you can do." Crow grinned.

"Wait what?" questioned a Tops woman.
"Did she just say Ritual? You mean someone actually uses Ritual Monsters?" inquired another Tops woman.
"Well this is certainly a twist, it seems that Aura Sentia uses Ritual Monsters. Who could have seen this coming?" Melissa asked. "Can Crow handle this unexpected move?"
"And now to except you all from waiting because by activating Prediction Ritual the main Princess of Fortune will appear as I offer Arrowsylph, and the Prediction Princess Crystaldine from my hand!" Aura grinned as the two monsters turned to flames being absorb in crystals.

"Ok, my turn and I start by using Gale the Whirlwind's effect to cut Tarotrei's attack points in half." Crow declared.
Tarotrei felt the winds. (ATK: 2700 / 2 = 1350)
"Question: Is that until end of turn?" Aura asked.
"Yeah, it only lasts until the end of the turn." Crow confirmed.

"Ok, Blackwing - Armor Master attack Prediction Princess Tarotrei!" Crow declared.
The 2500 monster charged.
Aura grinned, "I activate Prediction Princess Tarotrei's Special Ability!"
"Special ability?" Crow asked.
"One that flips all face-down monsters I have to attack mode!" Aura grinned as Prediction Princess Runo was flipped summoned. "And her flip effect activates!"

As she said this Armor Master attacked Tarotrei. (Aura: 1300) Before Tarotrei, and Runo switched to defense mode.
"Then I'll end my turn." Crow said with a smirk. "That means Tarotrei gets her points back."

Tarotrei's extra arms switched both Petalelf, and Runo face-down.
"Huh?" Crow asked before his eyes widened. "Wait so that's your strategy, not bad at all."
'And next turn I will show everyone something great.' Aura grinned thinking about it. "Your move Crow!"
"Huh, shouldn't Tarotrei attack?" Crow inquired.
"Tarotrei can't attack when I use that ability." Aura explained.
"Oh, alright then." Crow nodded.

'Comeback?' Crow thought in confusion.
"Crow I have been wanting to try this one out. So congrats your the first." Aura grinned.
"Ok...?" Crow stared.
"I now activate another Ritual Spell Card!" Aura revealed raising the card.
"Wait what?" Crow asked in shock.
"Can she do that, her field is empty and she barely has any cards in her hand so how can she Ritual Summon anything useful?" inquired a Tops man.
That was before they noticed Chidori the Rain Sprinkling is starting to vanish.
"Wait, what's going on?" Crow asked in disbelief.

"A ritual spell that sacrifices your opponent's monsters!" Kit cried in shock.
"I created that spell so she can counter the Fusion Dimension, and other possible opponents like Crow." Declan explained.
"And with the Chidori the Rain Sprinkling you were so kind to give I can now summon a level 7 Ritual Monster from my hand!" Aura grinned.

Everyone stared at the new monster in shock.
"Unbelievable." Melissa Trail said in shock. "She managed to Ritual Summon using Crow's monsters."
"So what does this one do?" Crow inquired.
"Well first I can summon a Flip Effect monster from my graveyard in face-down defense." Aura grinned setting Runo. "And now I attack Raikiri with Kazarina!"
Crow's monster shattered instantly.
"And if she destroys a monster by battle you take 800 points of damage for each Prediction Princess Ritual Monster in my graveyard!" Aura grinned.
(Crow: 3200)
"Not bad." Crow grinned. "Of course this duel is about to end."
"Well your not done yet!" Aura grinned. "Because now Ritual of the Forsaken's effect activates! When a Ritual Monster summoned by it destroys a monster by battle by banishing it you take Kazarina's attack points as damage!"
"Wait, what?" Crow asked in shock.
Kazarina fired light at Crow with her 2500 points striking Crow.
(Crow: 0700)
"That was a close one." Crow admitted.
'Okay I got this planned.' Aura thought. 'As long as he doesn't attack Kazarina which would destroy her with Runo face-down, I will flip Runo face-up to give her 1000 more attack points, and use both the attack, and Kazarina's ability to win!'
"I end my turn!" Aura cried.

It was revealed to be Runo who gave her energy with Kazarina.
Kazarina: (ATK: 2500 + 1000 = 3500)
Runo: (ATK: 300 + 1000 = 1300)
"Now I'll switch Armor Master to attack mode and have him attack Kazarina!" Crow declared.
"Huh?" Aura asked surprised as Armor Master charged. "What are you doing!? Now Armor Master will be destroyed, and you'll take 1000 points of damage!"
"Not quite, see when Armor Master attacks a stronger monster three things happen, first I don't take any damage, and second he isn't destroyed." Crow smirked.
Aura then asked, "If that's so then what was-" She stopped herself when Armor Master shot a feather on Kazarina which stuck on her.
"The point Aura, was that Wedge Counter see when Armor Master attacks he leaves one of them behind and by removing it your monster loses all its attack points." Crow revealed.
"What?" Aura asked shocked.
"You heard me." Crow grinned as the counter vanished.
Kazarina: (ATK: 3500 - 3500 = 0)
"Ok Aura, it's been fun but you lose. Elphin the Raven attack Prediction Princess Kazarina."
The Blackwing charged as Kazarina shattered while Aura cried out.
Aura: 0000
Crow: 0700
Crow wins the duel!
"That's the end of that, what an amazing opening match! After so many twists and turns Crow edges out Aura and wins the first match!" Melissa announced.
Aura stopped as she looked down in shock.
"Hey, are you ok?" Crow asked her.
"How did I lost? I have performed one of the most powerful rituals possible, and yet..." Aura trailed off.
"That happens sometimes." Crow mentioned. "Don't let it bother you. You did a great job in this duel."
Aura looked up before nodding smiling. Crow grinned only for two officers to walk up and grab Aura.
"You lost, so you're coming with us." one of them told her.
Aura winced at the force their using but didn't fight them. "Hey easy. Don't you two know how to treat a girl fairly?"
The two officers just walked her off the arena.
Meanwhile in the waiting room...
"I wonder how Aura is doing." Yuya said worried.
"I don't know." Alex admitted nervously.
Stacy grunted softly, "So we just leave her there? I am so against it!"
"For now, once this is over she'll be safe." Akiza told her.
"What about Lilly?" Zuzu asked.
"Riley will tell us once she gets back." Declan answered.
With Riley...
"No, this... this isn't possible." Lilly whimpered.
"Lilly?" Riley asked founding her.
Lilly instantly turned. "Who are you, what do you want?"
"It's okay." Riley assured. "I am Riley Akaba."
Lilly glared at Riley hearing that. "So what do you want with me?"
Riley flinched before saying, "I-I want to help you over what your afraid of."
"You and your Lancers should be afraid, there's absolutely nothing that scares a student of..." Lilly started.
"Ok, the second duel is about to begin." Melissa stated. "Yuri going up against Lilly."
Hearing that Lilly instantly froze and started to tremble.
"It's okay. There's nothing to be afraid about." Riley assured her.
"If you think that you'll end up dead." Lilly stated bluntly before fearfully walking out to the arena.
Riley looked stunned hearing that.
Suddenly Yuri looking a little mad, with Celina walked in front of Lilly.
Lilly's eyes widened seeing them. "Mommy, daddy?"
"Lilly that is not me." Yuri told her. "I never attended the Friendship Cup."
"Yeah. Seems like Roget, and Jarrod got busy, and created that fake." Celina told her looking at Yuri-Bot who was preparing his Duel Runner.
Lilly turned to the fake Yuri before her eyes widened and she clenched her fists. "I'm going to destroy that imposter!"
"You leave the destroying to me Lilly." Yuri told her. "Try not to damage TOO much."
Lilly looked ready to argue before sighing. "Ok, but... daddy can I ask you something?"
Yuri turned to her.
"That thing is an insult, and there's only one monster that deserves to beat him." Lilly admitted. "So... for this one match, can I use... him?"
"Starving Venom?" Yuri asked her.
Lilly nodded. "It's only right that your real ace card demolishes that imposter, and then in your hands destroys it."
Yuri smirked before saying, "That's my girl." Before handing her the card.
Lilly took the card before smiling and walking to the Duel Runner she was going to use and racing onto the track.
Yuri-Bot turned to her smirking, "Don't think I'll go easy because your a girl."
"Is that supposed to scare me?" Lilly taunted. "You're pathetic, and a waste of my time. No matter what you do it won't make any difference at all. In fact, give me everything you've got and I'll still beat you easily."
Yuri-Bot looks insulted to that.
"Oh, did I hurt your feelings?" Lilly taunted again. "Tough, you're barely worth my time. Lets get this over with shall we?"
"Gladly." Yuri-Bot said coldly.
Jarrod watching over with Roget asked, "Hey is it me or does something seem odd about that girl? She should be fearing the creation not bravely facing it."
"She's simply an ignorant girl, she'll learn the mistake she's made soon enough." Roget replied calmly.
"DUEL!" Lilly and Yuri-Bot declared together.

"A card that summons Fusion Monsters known as 'Masked HEROs'." Jarrod answered. "There is only one person who holds them, and that's Jaden Yuki back at the Academy."
"Jaden Yuki, wait but then how in the world does this girl have them?" Roget questioned. "Just who is she?"

"So now your big bad monster you're trying to summon doesn't get to attack, but please tell me that's not all you can do. I could beat that weakling in my sleep."

"What?" Lilly questioned in shock.
"A little gift called Action Crush." Yuri-Bot smirked.
Action Crush

"Didn't you hear me, if that's all you can do then I'll easily take you down." Lilly taunted completely unaffected by her card failing to work.
"Well the problem is that you seem to have trouble keeping it." Yuri-Bot smirked. "Your naive nature costs you! Now Ultimate Golem take out Anki with Ultimate Mechanized Melee!"
Ultimate Golem went to punch.
"And since he's attacking your spells, and traps can't do anything!" Yuri-Bot smirked.
Lilly nodded as Anki shattered. "I'm well aware of how that card works." (Lilly: 2400)
"Though answer this, he's not your strongest monster is he?"
"You seem to be a clever girl." Yuri-Bot smirked. "I can't summon him this turn so I'll end my turn with two face-downs."

Blast fired some winds at the Golem. (ATK: 4400 / 2 = 2200)
"Now I could attack into your Golem but that would be the dumbest move I could make given its ability so I'll end my turn there." Lilly smirked. "So, show me what else you have up your sleeve unless this weak Golem is your best card."

"Now my hounds merge to fusion summon!" Yuri-Bot cried as the four hounds fused in the portal.

"Fear, you should be afraid. So go ahead, your Chaos Giant has enough power to nearly end this duel unless you're scared of my monster!" Lilly smirked back.

"Wait a moment something's wrong." Jarrod mentioned to Roget.

Which means Starving Venom Fusion Dragon can attack all of your monsters!" Lilly declared. "Destroy Chaos Ancient Gear Giant, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, and end this duel!"
The dragon roared charging with a dark purple aura ready to finish the battle.
Lilly just smirked coldly as Yuri's Dragon destroyed the two monsters and wiped out Yuri-Bot's life points.
Lilly: 0100
Yuri-Bot: 0000
Lilly wins the duel!
Yuri-Bot was launched off as his Duel Runner exploded as he landed on the ground heavily damaged.
Lilly just stared at him before riding back to the waiting room. "Thank you daddy, that was... incredible."
Yuri smirked, "I am real impressed Lilly. You seem to use Starving Venom like a pro."
Lilly smiled brightly hearing that as she gave him the dragon. Yuri took his dragon back placing it back in his deck.
"Daddy, I've made up my mind." Lilly told him. "One day, maybe not for a long time, but I'm going to become a stronger duelist than even you. The strongest in all the Dimensions."
"What will have to be a goal sometime later." Yuri told her. "Because after this me, your mother, and you will be settling down, and relax as a normal family."
Lilly's eyes widened in shock before smiling. "Then we're in luck, the last one is competing right there."
As she said that Lilly pointed to Zuzu who was talking with Yuya and Stacy.
Yuri looked over, and smirked.
Suddenly Lilly's eyes widened. "Oh no!"
"What?" Yuri asked.
"Roget and Jarrod must have been watching, and I used your dragon. They know you're here." Lilly said nervously. "I messed up."
Yuri merely smirked, "Ah let them know. It will only be more exciting."
"Yeah... you're right." she nodded. "It's more fun this way too."
Ulrich362: Well... Crow beat Aura but that new Ritual Monster of hers has potential, and Lilly used her dad's dragon to great effectiveness in taking down Yuri-Bot... though I have a feeling Roget and Jarrod won't be making the same mistake again.
bopdog111: Indeed. Things for them are far from over.
Ulrich362: Of course after this intense match what could possibly be next? Well, you'll have to wait and see.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
