Duel for Speed

(Bad reference I know...)

Evan's POV

"I'm going to show you the true strength of Turbo Duels!" Fujiko shouted as she accelerated toward. "I activate the spell card, One for One! I sent one monster card from my hand to Special Summon a level one monster from my deck! Come out Tuning Supporter (LV: 1, DEF: 300)!"

'With Tuning Supporter's level manipulation effect and if she has Junk Synchron in the hand she could instantly go for any Synchro monster from the levels four to seven!' she will probably start hitting hand from the beginning, that's if Tuning Supporter survive until her next turn.

"I set two cards and end my turn!" Fujiko declared as the cards formed before vanishing. "Take your turn!"

"I guess it's my move then. Draw!" I looked at the card, Chroneality De-Fusion, before putting it in the holder.

Turn 2

Fujiko's LP: 4000, Hand: 1

Evan's LP: 4000, Hand: 6

"When I control no monsters I can Special Summon Chroneality Rush Tuner (LV: 1, ATK: 100) from my hand!" the little blue ball appeared beside my D-Wheel speeding along with it. "Then I normal summon Chroneality Cuden Curtain (LV: 3, ATK: 200)!"

A blue portal opened to my left and Cuden Curtain flew out of it, following my D-Wheel.

"I tune my Level 3 Chroneality Cuden Curtain to my Level 1 Chroneality Rush Tuner!" The two monsters flew into the air. Rush Tuner turned into a green ring which went around Cuden Curtain who then turned into three orbs of light.

"The dark blade created by the deeps of Earth, break through the hearts of the weak! Descend now! Synchro Summon! Level 4! Chroneality BreakSword Gram (LV: 4, ATK: 2200)!"

A beam of light shot through the rings and formed into the monster. Then the top card of my deck started glowing.

"When Chroneality Rush Tuner is sent to the graveyard I draw a card!" I looked at the card and smiled. "Nice, but first things first. I attack Tuning Supporter with Chroneality BreakSword Gram! Breaking D-Swing!"

"I activate my trap card!" Fujiko countered as a shitty scarecrow appeared in front of her monster and took the hit instead. "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow negates one attack and then resets itself!"

"Damn, I don't have any more attacks." I said and took the cards from my holder. "Then, using the scale one, Chroneality Foxy Magician (LV: 5, PS: 1) and the scale eight, Chroneality Wolfy Helper (LV: 2, PS: 8), I will set the pendulum scale!" The two monsters raised in my pendulum columns, holding their weapons closer.

"Awwww, we are support again?" Chroneality Foxy Magician whined.

"Focus onto the duel at hand!" Chroneality Wolfy Helper scrolled her sister.

"I set a card and end my turn!" I declared and tried to catch with Fujiko.

"No Pendulum summon?" she asked confused then accelerated toward. "It doesn't matter! My turn, Draw!"

Turn 3

Fujiko's LP: 4000, Hand: 2

Evan's LP: 4000, Hand: 2

"I normal summon Junk Synchron (LV: 3, ATK: 1300)! Then I activate Graceful Revival to special summon one level two or lower monster from my graveyard! I call Junk Speeder!"

A black portal opened and a monster that looked close to Speed Warrior but more mechanical and bulkier with a red visor speeded into the field.

Junk Speeder LV: 2/Wind/Warrior/ATK: 800/ DEF: 300

"When Junk Speeder is special summoned I can draw a card!" Fujiko said taking a card from her deck. "Next, I tune the level 2 Tuning Supporter to the level 3 Junk Synchron!" Junk Synchron pulled the string onto its back turning into three rings. Tuning Supporter gained a bright yellow outline as it moved through the rings before turning into two orbs.

"The never surrendering warrior, gathers the bonds of the weak! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Level 5! Junk Mighty Warrior (LV: 5, ATK: 2300)!"

The monster shot from the beam of light into the air and spun before taking the same battling stance as the original Junk Warrior did when it get summoned.

"When Tuning Supporter is sent to the graveyard as Synchro material I draw a card! Furthermore, Junk Mighty Warrior gains the combined attack of all level two or lower monsters on the field!" a bright golden aura shot from Junk Speeder into Junk Mighty Warrior raising its attack.

Junk Mighty Warrior (LV: 5, ATK: 2300 - 3100)

"However, since a monster has just been summoned from the extra deck Chroneality Foxy Magician's allows me to draw a card." I explained taking a card from my deck and putting it into the holder.

"Battle! Junk Mighty Warrior attack Chroneality BreakSword Gram! Power Scrap Fist!" Junk Mighty Warrior dashed toward BreakSword Gram and formed a fist.

"I activate Chroneality Cuden Curtain's effect in the graveyard!" I countered and Chroneality BreakSword Gram shoot back into my duel disk as two clocks formed on its place onto the field. "I return Chroneality BreakSword Gram to the hand to summon Chroneality Cuden Curtain (LV: 3, DEF: 1700) and Chroneality Rush Tuner (LV: 1, DEF: 200)!" The two clocks transformed into the monsters and gained blue aura. "You didn't really expect me to use BreakSword to battle you, did you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?!" She snapped at me.

"Just think about it. Won't it be stupid to use a monster that's weaker than yours?"

"You used it to learn what my set cards were!" Fujiko shouted back furious. "Then I attack Chroneality Cuden Curtain with Junk Mighty Warrior! Power Scrap Fist!" My monster prepared itself as a large fist hit it in the face, sending it bouncing on the track before shattering. "Next, Junk Speeder attack Chroneality Rush Tuner! When Junk Speeder attacks its original attack doubles until the end of the battle!"

Junk Speeder LV: 2/Wind/Warrior/ATK: 800 - 1600/ DEF: 300

The warrior dashed toward and kicked Rush Tuner shattering it to pieces as well.

"When Chroneality Rush Tuner is sent to the graveyard I draw a card!" I said taking another card from my deck.

"I end my turn here." Fujiko said frustrated.

"My turn then! Draw!"

Turn 4

Fujiko's LP: 4000, Hand: 3

Evan's LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"The true duel begins here!" I claimed taking Cursed Phantom from the holder. "I summon Chroneality Cursed Phantom (LV: 4, ATK: 1500) and activate its effect! When Phantom is normal summoned I can special summon a level four or lower Chroneality from the hand or graveyard! Come back again, Chroneality Rush Tuner (LV: 1, DEF: 200)!"

"You revived the tuner again." Fujiko noted annoyed.

"It's too early to get annoyed." I joked and looked at my cards. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Chroneality Fusion! With this I fuse Chroneality Cursed Phantom and the Water-Attribute Chroneality Rush Tuner!"

The Fusion portal formed above me along with a giant clock. My monsters jumped inside of the machine and the clock arrows started to move at inhuman speed.

"The warrior cursed by fate! Become one with the little beast of innocence and revive in the form of a new devil! Fusion Summon! Freeze this fragile world! Level 6! Chroneality Zero Inferno (LV: 6, ATK: 2400)!"

The clock burst forth as the fiend first took the form of a grinning demon face before turning into its correct form with its claws outstretched toward our opponent.

"When Chroneality Zero Inferno is Fusion Summoned the opponent takes four hunder points of damage for each Chroneality used as Fusion Material for its Fusion Summoning! I used two Chroneality so you take twice the damage!" Ice spikes formed on the backs of Zero Inferno's hands and it threw them at Fujiko. For a moment her D-Wheel lost balance, before recovering but it was long enough for me to take the lead.

Fujiko's LP: 4000 - 3200

"Battle! Zero Inferno attack Junk Speeder! Hallow Frostblade!" I shouted and Zero Inferno puts its hands together creating a giant spear of ice then threw it at Speeder.

"Did you forget about my set card?!" Fujiko pointed toward her monster as Scrap-Iron Scarecrow appeared and took the hit instead.

"I think you forgot about mine instead!" I smirked and clicked my face-down card onto the screen of my duel disk It flipped face-up showing a whirlwind destroying Phantom Knights Dark Gauntlet, Curse of Statue and Chain Destruction. "Counter trap, Chroneality Hidden Striker! The activation of Scrap-Iron Scarecrow is negated and then I destroy two cards on the field. Of course my targets are Junk Mighty Warrior and Junk Speeder!"

Electricity sparks flew from Scrap-Iron Scarecrow as it was flipped facedown. Zero Inferno's ice spear then shattered into pieces and show toward Fujiko's monsters destroying all of them.

"Battle! Zero Inferno attack the opponent directly! Hallow Frostblade!" I ordered and Zero Inferno slashed Fujiko in the back with an ice sword.

"Damn it!" She cursed and glared at me.

Fujiko's LP: 3200 - 800

"I thought that you were going to teach me a lesson!" I laughed. Well, after all even Yusei's tactics weren't perfect. "So far it's you who's getting schooled here!"

'Did I actually overestimated her? That's isn't like me at all.' I thought. It would be really boring if the duel end like this.

"Just you wait!" Fujiko shouted and speeded toward. Then she passed me. "No matter the disadvantages, I will continue toward and surely defeat you!"

"That's the spirit. I end my turn!"

"It's my turn! Draw!" Fujiko declared.

Turn 5

Fujiko's LP: 800, Hand: 4

Evan's LP: 4000, Hand: 4

"She surely has a spirit." Foxy told me from the pendulum zone.

"She must have been going easy since you were new at Turbo Duels, master." Wolfy added.

"First I summon Synchron Explorer (LV: 2, ATK: 0)!" A far red robot appeared beside Fujiko and its belly started to glow. "When this card is Normal Summoned I can Special Summon one Synchron from my graveyard! Revive, Junk Synchron (LV: 3, ATK: 1300)!"

Synchron Explorer bent backward with its belly glowing, Junk Synchron jumped out of that portal and took a battling stance at the opposite side of Fujiko.

"Next, I tune the level 2 Synchron Explorer to the level 3 Junk Synchron!" Junk Synchron pulled the string onto its back again, turning into three rings. Synchron Explorer gained a bright yellow outline as it moved through the rings before turning into two orbs.

"Gathering stars will come together and call out a new speed's horizon! Become the path that lights our way of hope! Synchro Summon! Level 5! Junk Over-Synchron!"

The monster was the size of Junk Warrior with yellow goggles and a black scarf around its neck. Its body was covered in heavy white armor with three glowing blue, yellow and green orbs in the center of its chest. The monster's arms were large and had the form of platforms.

Junk Over-Synchron, LV: 5/Wind/Machine/Tuner/ATK: 800/ DEF: 2300

"With Foxy Magician's effect I draw a card!" I reminded her.

"When Junk Over-Synchron is Synchro Summoned I can Special Summon a Synchro from my graveyard. Come forth once again! Junk Mighty Warrior (LV: 5, ATK: 2300)!" The monster flew in the air. "The attack of the monster summoned by Junk Over-Synchron becomes zero and its effects are negated!"

Junk Mighty Warrior (LV: 5, ATK: 2300 - 0)

"I tune the level 5 Junk Mighty Warrior into the level 5 Junk Over-Synchron!" Junk Synchron pulled the strings onto its shoulders firing five green rings before vanishing. Junk Mighty Warrior gained a bright yellow outline as it moved through the rings before turning into five orbs.

Fujiko speeded toward a collapsed wall as she started to chant. "Clustering wishes will become our new power! Become our warrior with cosmic might!" She then used the collapsed wall as a ramp and flew into the air. At the same moment column of light shot in front of her. "Synchro Summon! Level 10! The Sacred Savior - Stardust Warrior (LV: 10, ATK: 3000)!"

A warrior flew into the air with its hands crossed into an X shape. His armor was a copy of Stardust Dragon's design but without the wings. Stardust Warrior's body was glowing with a bright white light and sparks were falling from its body.

"It's amazing!" I said in awe. Just looking at the warrior made me feel like I was in the presence of something majestic. Or was it because of how the light falls over Fujiko?

"Look! That's my true strength!" Fujiko shouted, raising her arm toward Stardust Warrior. "Battle! Stardust Warrior attack Chroneality Zero Inferno! Cosmic Fist!"

"It seems you miss the point of my deck. Chroneality' greatest strength is that they are equally powerful no matter if they are on the field or not! I activate Foxy Magician's other pendulum effect! Time Pendulum!" The girl raised her golden staff over her head and the gears atop of it started to spin. Zero Inferno jumped through the clock gear that appeared behind it, transforming into a new monster. "During either player's Battle Phase: I can Tribute Summon one Chroneality monster! Come forth! Chroneality Spacebreaker Tiger (LV: 6, ATK: 2500)!"

"I predicted that you would try this trick again!" Fujiko retorted. "I activate Stardust Warrior's effect! When a monster is Special Summoned I can tribute this card to negate the Summon! Victim Miracle!"

Stardust Warrior vanished in a shower of sparks which then shoot at Spacebreaker Tiger whose body started glowing until it shattered into sparks as well.

"If a pendulum monster's summon is negated it gets sent to the graveyard instead of the Extra Deck." I explained and put Spacebreaker Tiger in the slot. "And since a fusion monster left the field Chroneality Fusion returns to my hand."

"I set three cards and end my turn. At this moment Stardust Warrior returns to my field by its own effect!"

'Damn! She now practically has a no-cost Solemn Warning to use every turn!' I thought.

"We shouldn't underestimate her." Wolfy warned me.

'I know. Those three set cards aren't a bluff. They are probably additional defense for the case I somewhat get past Stardust Warrior.'

"It's getting so intense!" Foxy exclaimed happily.

I smiled then took the top card of my deck. "Let's see how long Stardust Warrior will be able to interfere with my plays. MY TURN!"

Turn 6

Fujiko's LP: 800, Hand: 0

Evan's LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"This is!" my eyes widened as I put the card in the slot. "With the already set pendulum scale I pendulum summon! Revive from my Extra Deck, Chroneality Cursed Phantom (LV: 4, ATK: 1500)! And then, from my hand, Chroneality Scrap Golem (LV: 5, ATK: 2200)!"

"I activate Stardust Warrior's effect! Victim Miracle!" Fujiko declared as her monster flew toward mines, grabbing them before all three vanished from the field. Fujiko smirked at that. "Phantom has the power to copy any monster's effect and Scrap Golem can be treated as any attribute, right? You were going to copy Stardust's effect with Phantom's ability then use Scrap Golem for a Fusion Summon and force me into using Stardust Warrior's effect to destroy it while leaving myself exploded for a direct attack. But if that didn't work you would still be able to negate my monster's revival at the End Phase!"

"I had that opinion." I admitted and looked toward the red pendulum swinging between Wolfy and Foxy. "But the path of victory isn't straight toward and you know it. There is never just one way, just one possibility." I took a card from my hand and showed it to Fujiko. "But you were right about something. All of my chances to win were in using a second Fusion Summon." I put the card in my duel disk. I activate Chroneality Fusion to fuse Chroneality Blessed Sola and Chroneality Illusion Mage from my hand!"

Chroneality Illusion Mage had a somewhat cartoonish appearance with funnily large hands and a blank face with a red question symbol in the center of it. The monster had a black top hat with a large clock in the middle. It was also wearing a large red coat with yellow lining that had six buttons in the form of clock gears and a white cloak with purple linings and small bells attached to the ends. Instead of legs it had four branches-like forms that had a few similarities to Shooting Quasar's limps.

Chroneality Illusion Mage, LV: 5/Wind/Spellcaster/ATK: 2000/ DEF: 600

"Time to fuse!" Sola exclaimed happy and Illusion Mage crossed his hands as the two turned into a green and yellow whirlpool of light.

"Magician blessed by fate, cross your future with the arcane dimension illusionist and burn through the limitation of this world! Fusion Summon! Beast with wings blazing from the oppression across time and space! Chroneality Rebellion Phoenix!"

Flames burst from around me and for a moment I saw then turn into a smiling devil before they changed shape and took the form of a bird which flew into the sky. The flames soon died down revealing a mechanical bird. It was yellow in color with green eyes and two orbs of the same color on its chest. The phoenix had a clock gear coming from its chest, going through the wings and coming out from its back. Another gear was sticking from its head as flames were coming from its back.

Chroneality Rebellion Phoenix, LV: 7/Fire/Winged Beast/ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"With Foxy's effect I draw a card." I took the card. "Chroneality Illusion Mage's effect activates as well! When it's sent to the graveyard I can return a Chroneality card to my hand. I choose Chroneality Cursed Phantom!"

"Battle! Rebellion Phoenix, attack Fu-! AAAHHHHHH!" Suddenly my D-Wheel went out of the path and headed toward a house.

I quickly deactivated the Autopilot, however I still had no idea how to control that thing! I closed my eyes and braced myself for the crash.

It never came.

I slowly reopened my eyes and saw something shocking. Rebellion Phoenix was flying in front of my D-Wheel using the flames from its tail to control the wheels and make a path. My monster has just saved my life!

"Thanks." I bowed my head.

"That was amazing!" Foxy shouted.

"Are you ok?" Fujiko asked me worried. I simply nodded and she sighed in relief. "Something must have happened with the AI since the D-Wheel hasn't been used in quite some time."

"But I can't drive on manual." I sweat dropped.

"Don't worry, there aren't many turns. Just keep it steady and balance your weight."

"R-right. Where were we with the duel? Ah yeah! Rebellion Phoenix, attack Fujiko directly!"

"You don't know when to quit, do you? Trap open - Stardust Flash! With this I revive a Stardust in my graveyard! Come forth, Stardust Warrior (LV: 10, ATK: 3000)! Next, I activate my second trap - Shooting Star to destroy Rebellion Phoenix!"

"I activate Rebellion Phoenix's effect!" I countered. "Once while this card is on the field I can banish a trap from the graveyard and activate its effect! I give Chroneality Rebellion Phoenix the effect of Chroneality Hidden Striker! In other words, your trap is negated and I destroy Stardust Warrior along with your third set card! Go! Immortal Flames!"

"I activate Starlight Road!" Fujiko shouted as yet a third stardust support card showed up. Is her deck really Junk!? "When an effect is activated that would destroy two or more cards on the field I can negate the activations then Special Summon a Stardust Dragon from my Extra Deck!"

The trap fired electricity toward my Phoenix. The beast shielded itself with its wings, blocking the effect.

"Too bad because Rebellion Phoenix can't be destroyed by card effects!" I explained. "Also, if it banished a card by its own effect my monster gains five hunder attack!"

Chroneality Rebellion Phoenix, LV: 7/Fire/Winged Beast/ATK: 2500 - 3000/ DEF: 2000

"Chroneality Rebellion Phoenix's effect doesn't negate so Starlight still resolves." A beam of light burst behind Fujiko as a monster that I believe we are familiar with flew into the air and roared. "Take flight! Stardust Dragon (LV: 8, ATK: 2500)!"

"And due to Foxy's effect I draw another card." I said adding another card to my hand.

'She used all of her set cards in one turn.' I thought. 'Right now if I attack Stardust Dragon with Rebellion Phoenix that would be 500 damage, but then Stardust Warrior will still be able to negate my summoning. What should I do?'

"Do what is right." Foxy told me with a serious voice. "Do what you need to do in order to win."

'But Rebellion Phoenix saved me!' I tried to argue. 'I can't just destroy it after that!'

"That's right, it saved you." Wolfy nodded. "Rebellion Phoenix saved you not only because it cares about you, but because it wants you to win! We know that there will be times when you will have to sacrifice some of us in order achieve victory. Because of that no matter the situation our bonds will always stay firm."

I closed my eyes. She was right, Chroneality exist to help each other out in any way possible. Even if that meant to sacrifice themselves, they would do it because the bond between each of them is far stronger than that. Then, there is no reason for me to think about it!

"I attack Stardust Warrior with Chroneality Rebellion Phoenix! Flare Stream!" Rebellion Phoenix spreaded its wings as flames burst through them covering its entire body.

"But they have the same attack values!" Fujiko shouted.

Rebellion Phoenix charged toward Stardust Warrior and fired a fireball which the later dodged. Fujiko's monster then tried to push mine, but it flew away before the hit could make contact. Rebellion Phoenix fired another fireball and Stardust Warrior pushed it, creating an explosion that destroyed both monsters.

"Yes!" I cheered. Then out of the smoke came Fujiko along with Stardust Dragon and Road Warrior (LV: 8, ATK: 3000). "But how?!" I shouted seeing the large monster. When did she summoned that thing?

"When Stardust Warrior is destroyed I can summon a level eight or lower 'Warrior' Synchro monster from my Extra Deck." Fujiko said proud of herself.

"That's a sweat effect." I admitted. "But since a Chroneality Fusion Monster left the field Chroneality Fusion returns to my hand!"

"After all this she just traded one three hundred attack power monster for another one." Wolfy said admiring my opponent.

'Yeah, but to balance for that Road Warrior's effect is pretty much shit.' I told them mentally.

"What are you going to do now, Evan?" Fujiko asked me.

"It doesn't seem like I have much of an option so I activate Wolfy's pendulum effect! I pay 500 of my life points to add a Chroneality spell or trap card from the deck to my hand! Premature Time!" Wolfy Helper's air-skateboard started to glow and a portal opened in front of me as a card landed in my hand.

Evan's LP: 4000 - 3500

"Continuous spell - Chroneality Unit Returning, activate!" The card showed Chroneality Timerush Dragon breaking through a giant clock. "When Chroneality Unit Returning is activated I add one Chroneality from the graveyard to my hand; the card I choose to return is Chroneality Spacebreaker Tiger. Then I Normal Summon Chroneality Cursed Phantom (LV: 4, ATK: 1500)!"

"It seems we got ourselves in quite the situation, huh?" Phantom looked at me. "Let's do it!"

"I activate Cursed Phantom's effect! Pendulum Unity!" Phantom raised his sword and swung it toward the ground. A dark portal formed and his chains dragged Blessed Sola out of the graveyard.

"Hey! Don't summon me like that!" She hissed fighting against the chains. Phantom ignored the protest and threw her on the ground with a thud. "Ouch! You did it intentionally!" Sola shouted at Phantom with tears in her eyes.

I, Wolfy, Foxy and Fujiko were sweat dropping at the scene before us. While it was just me and my spirits that could hear each other's voices, practically everyone could see what my monster are doing when they are summoned during a duel. Phantom and Sola are making me feel a hundred percent embarrassed right now.

"As I was saying…" I continued ignoring the cat fight between my monsters. "I use Phantom's effect to revive Chroneality Blessed Sola (LV: 3, DEF: 800) from my Graveyard. I set a card and end my turn."

"That was the most awkward turn I ever witnessed." Fujiko noted. "My turn then. Draw."

Turn 7

Fujiko's LP: 800, Hand: 1

Evan's LP: 3500, Hand: 5

"I activate Road Warrior's effect!" Fujiko shouted. "Once per turn, I can Special Summon a level two or lower monster from my deck!" Road Warrior took the piece black piece onto its back and aimed it toward, creating a road of light from which Fujiko's next monster emerged. "I Special Summon Nitro Synchron (LV: 2, ATK: 300)!"

'Nitro Synchro? She uses the other Synchrons as well?'

"Spell card, Junk Reborn, activate!" the card appeared next to Fujiko. It was showing a factory rebuilding a broken Junk Giant. "I can Special Summon a Junk monster from my graveyard, but it cannot attack and is destroyed during the end phase! Return once more, Junk Mighty Warrior (LV: 5, ATK: 2300)!"

"It's coming." I smirked.

"I tune the level 5 Junk Mighty Warrior with the level 2 Nitro Synchro!" the pressure gauge on Nitro Synctron's head went to the red as it turned into two rights. Junk Mighty Warrior gained a bright yellow outline as it moved through the rings before turning into five orbs.

"Our thoughts combine to call forth a new power! Become the path that lights the way! Synchro Summon! Burn up, Nitro Warrior (LV: 7, ATK: 2800)!"

"Due to Foxy's effect I draw a card!" I said.

"When Nitro Synchron is used to summon a Nitro Synchro monster I draw a card as well!" Fujiko interjected taking a card from her deck as well. "Perfect! I activate the spell, Tuning Greed!" the card showed Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth and Scrap Archfiend with two cards in front of them. "I draw a card for every Synchro monster on my field! Therefor I draw three cards!"

'She got three Synchro monsters and a new hand nevertheless.' I gritted my teeth.

"I activate the spell Synchro Recovery!" This card's artwork showed four Synchro rings flying up into the sky while a single white feather is falling down. "For every Synchro monster on my field I recover 600 life points!"

Fujiko's LP: 800 – 1400 – 2000 – 2600

"Battle!" Fujiko pointed toward my monsters. "I attack Chroneality Cursed Phantom with Road Warrior! When a 'Warrior' Synchro monster attacks I can discard Rush Warrior from my hand to double my monster's attack! Double Lightning Claw!"

Road Warrior (LV: 8, ATK: 3000 - 6000)

"Trap open!" I countered as Road Warrior dashed toward. "Chroneality Time Fix! Cursed Phantom's destruction is negated and all damage I take is halved!" A clock gear flew in front of Phantom creating a barrier. Road Warrior flew toward and smashed it, but missed Phantom.

Evan's LP: 3500 - 1250

"I'm not done yet!" Fujiko threw her right fist toward. "Next I attack Chroneality Cursed Phantom with Nitro Warrior! Next, Nitro Warrior's attack increases by a thousand the turn I used a spell card! Dynamite Knuckle!"

Nitro Warrior (LV: 7, ATK: 2800 - 3800)

"Chroneality Time Fix can negate a monster's destruction only once per turn." I lowered my head. "But the damage will still be halved."

Evan's LP: 1250 - 100

"If Nitro Warrior destroy a monster by battle I can change a defense position monster into attack and attack it!" Fujiko declared as Nitro Warrior smashed the ground, creating a shockwave which knocked Sola on her back.

"Hey!" Sola protested. "Not again!"

Chroneality Blessed Sola (LV: 3, DEF: 800 – ATK: 1000)

Nitro Warrior (LV: 7, ATK: 3800 - 2800)

"It's over now! Nitro Warrior attack Chroneality Blessed Sola! Dynamite Knuckle!"

"I was hoping that I won't need to use it so early, but it can't be helped. I activate Chroneality Unit Returning's other effect! I can destroy both it and another spell or trap card on my field to make the damage 0!"

"What?!" Fujiko shouted as Nitro Warrior smashed Sola. "Then I will attack directly with Stardust Dragon!"

"The damage reduction effect of Unit Returning is in effect for the rest of this turn." I explained as a barrier blocked her attack.

"Damn it!" Fujiko cursed. "Then I set a card and end my turn!"

"My turn then. Draw!"

Turn 8

Fujiko's LP: 2600, Hand: 0

Evan's LP: 100, Hand: 7

"Wait!" Fujiko interjected. "At this timing I activate my trap card, Synchro Storm!" the card flipped showing a storm with three Synchro rings in the middle generating thunders. "If there's a Synchro monster on my field I can destroy up to two cards on the opponent's field! And the only cards you have right now are Chroneality Foxy Magician and Chroneality Wolfy Helper!"

"EH?!" Foxy shouted. "Wait! Timeout!"

"Better brace yourself!" Wolfy shouted at her sister.

A dark whirlwind shot from Fujiko's card blowing my two partners away before shattering them into sparks.

"Synchro Storm's other effect let me halve the opponent's life points if I control three or more Synchro monsters on my field!"

Evan's LP: 100 – 50

"Nice going." I smirked. "But you will need more to shatter my pendulum!" I told Fujiko and showed her two cards in my hand. "With the scale two, Chroneality Blade Crusher (LV: 4, PS: 2) and the scale eight, Chroneality Spacebreaker Tiger (LV: 6, PS: 8) I set the pendulum scale!" I shouted and swiped the two cards on my duel disk; the word 'PENDULUM' appearing on it. Blade Crusher and Spacebreaker Tiger levitated inside of the columns, raising above my head.

"Swing, pendulum of destructive victory, create a path to everyone's future! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! From my Extra Deck! Chroneality Blessed Sola (LV: 3, ATK: 1000)! Chroneality Cursed Phantom (LV: 4, ATK: 1500)! Chroneality Foxy Magician (LV: 5, ATK: 1800)! And from my hand Chroneality Timerush Dragon (LV: 6, ATK: 2500)!

"I'm back everyone!" Foxy waved.

"Please let me smash that ugly green jerk!" Sola shouted in anger.

Phantom and Timerush Dragon face palmed at the girls' behavior. I can sympathize with them.

"I activate Chroneality Fusion, fusing Chroneality Timerush Dragon with Chroneality Blessed Sola and Chroneality Foxy Magician!" Blessed Sola and Foxy Magician turned into purple and yellow whirlpool of light and Timerush Dragon fell in it, vanishing.

"Dragon warrior between times! Magician blessed by fate! Miraculous sorcerer from parallel worlds! Become one now and link to the future with your tremendous power! Fusion Summon! Gather! Mechanical master of Eons' knowledge! Level 10! Chroneality Nextgate Dragon!"

The whirlpools merged with Timerush Dragon and it started to evolve. The beast grow five times in size, the armor that covered its body has been removed revealing its dark purple scales and blue chest. The beast's tail became longer ending with a gear in the form of a fan. The wheels on the back of the legs have been replaced by heavy purple armor with two smaller jets connected to its thighs, while the ones on its back that used to work as wings were now replaced by real demonic ones. The dragon's shoulders and back had what appeared like a giant missile laughter on them. Its hands had evolved into large claws and its head has changed as well, becoming even more dragon-like with three large spikes pointing backward as the middle one was purple while the ones at the sides were yellow.

Chroneality Nextgate Dragon, LV: 10/Wind/Machine/ATK: 3100/ DEF: 2400

"It's large…" Fujiko's eyes widened at the sight of my monster.

"Battle!" I declared throwing my fist toward. "Chroneality Nextgate Dragon attack Road Warrior! When Chroneality Nextgate Dragon attack I can look at the top three cards of my deck and Special Summon any level four or lower Chroneality monster among them!" I said taking the cards from my deck and look at them; unfortunately none was level four or lower Chroneality.

"Luck wasn't on your side." Fujiko declared victoriously.

"Don't be so sure! I activate Chroneality Blade Crusher's pendulum effect! Iron Heart!" Blade Crusher monster raised his sword Nextgate Dragon and Road Warrior started to glow. "My monster's gains five hundred attack and yours lose the same value!"

"What?!" Fujiko looked up as her monster became weaker and mine stronger

Chroneality Nextgate Dragon, LV: 10/Wind/Machine/ATK: 3100 - 3600/ DEF: 2400

Road Warrior (LV: 8, ATK: 3000 - 2500)

Nextgate Dragon flew in the sky and looked down at its target. Nextgate's back then opened revealing a large energy cannon which started to charge a blue energy blast.

"Supreme Energy Destruction!" I shouted. Nextgate Dragon released the energy blast toward Road Warrior, which vanished in just a moment.

"Kyyyaaaahhh!" Fujiko shouted as her life points decreased.

Fujiko's LP: 2600 - 1500

"Next I activate the Quick-play spell, Chroneality De-Fusion to return Chroneality Nextgate Dragon into my Extra Deck and summon the materials from my graveyard or Extra Deck!" Two golden gears appeared over Nextgate Dragon's head and under its legs respectively then moved toward each other meeting around Nextgate's chest. The dragon started glowing and split into three.

Chroneality Blessed Sola (LV: 3, ATK: 1000)

Chroneality Foxy Magician (LV: 5, ATK: 1800)

Chroneality Timerush Dragon (LV: 6, ATK: 2500)

"Now, Chroneality Fusion returns to the hand by its own effect and I activate it again!" I declared as the three monsters started to fuse again. "Fusion Summon! Chroneality Nextgate Dragon!" Nextgate Dragon flew into the sky and roared. "I use Nextgate Dragon to attack Nitro Warrior!"

Nextgate's back then opened again and the large energy cannon took aim before it started to charge a blue energy blast.

"Supreme Energy Destruction!" I shouted again and Nextgate Dragon released the energy blast destroying Nitro Warrior.

Fujiko's LP: 1500 - 1200

"I activate Chroneality Nextgate Dragon's last effect!" I declared pointing at my dragon. "At the end of the damage step after it battle I can return Nextgate Dragon to my extra deck and summon Chroneality Timerush Dragon!"

The golden gears appeared around Nextgate Dragon's body again. The dragon started glowing and transformed, turning into its younger form.

"Chroneality Timerush Dragon attack Stardust Dragon!" Timerush Dragon leaned toward, taking a low start position. The jets on its back activated and it dashed toward Stardust Dragon. Fujiko's monster in return fired a beam. The two attacks collided with one another as the two monsters destroyed each other.

"I attack directly with Chroneality Cursed Phantom! Cursed Sword Blasting!" Phantom dashed toward, slashing Fujiko as three dark swords appeared and stabbed her.

Fujiko's LP: 1200 - 0

"Kyyyaaaaaahhhh!" Fujiko shouted as her D-Wheel stopped.

Turn 8

Fujiko's LP: 0, Hand: 0

Evan's LP: 50, Hand: 3 [Win!]

"How was I?" I braked next to Fujiko and took off my helmet.

"Are you sure you have never drive a D-Wheel before?" she asked me taking off her helmet.

"Maybe I'm just a fast learner." I joked. "Have you calmed down now?"

"Is that why you accepted my duel?"

"I can understand why you became so angry that I gambled for money." I told her with a smile. "I apologize if the words I said made you mad; I don't expect from you to agree with my ways of doing things and I won't try to force my ideas on you." I stretched out my arm. "What will you say? Should we try to find a middle way?"

"You risked your life in a duel to relieve my stress and then say something like that?" Fujiko giggled and took my hand. "You are weirder than Shin."

"I will take than as a compliment." I told her laughing.

"But you won the duel so I guess you deserve a reward." Fujiko told me.

"A reward, huh?" I repeated stroking my chin.

"Cuddling!" Wolfy quickly shouted.

"A girl's smile is the only reward a boy could ask for." Sola said with a somewhat royal accent.

"S*x!" Foxy blurted out.

"Foxy for leader of Chroneality!" Phantom yelled.

"I don't really know." I told Fujiko. "I don't want a material prize, so maybe a kiss or somethi-!"

Before I could react Fujiko leaned toward and kissed me on the cheek. I stared at her for a few moments until my brain completely processed what happened. OH GOD I WAS KISSED BY A GIRL! A REAL KISS! ON THE CHEEK!

"D-don't stare at me like that!" Fujiko said looking away from me. But even so I could see that her face has turned red like a tomato!

"Amazing ending!" I heard a voice followed by slow clapping. I and Fujiko turned and saw three young men standing on the roof of a small house.

The one in the middle who was also the one clapping had dark skin with long spiky hair and green eyes. He wears a light grey form-fitting motorcycling suit with yellow lines going down his sides with spikes on his elbows and knees with black boots.

At his left side was a man with blonde hair swept to the right and blue eyes. He was wearing a more casual outfit consisting of a white shirt, a dark brown jacket over it with light brown chest and black shoulder plates, fingerless gloves, dark pants and white shoes.

The man on the right however took most of my attention. He wasn't some random folk like the other two, but Kyosuke Kiryu himself! He was the one person in the entire series who was the closest to defeat Yusei!

"Michale…" Fujiko hissed.

"Hello Fujiko." The one in the middle, Michale waved at her with a smile. Then he turned serious. "Unfortunately I'm not here for you." He then narrowed his eyes to me. "I have some business with your boyfriend here."

"He is not my boyfriend!" Fujiko shouted back.

"What business do you have with me?" I asked him raising my duel disk, just in case.

"Have you heard the name Grelyson before?" he asked showing a card in his hand. It was a Synchro Dragon-type monster. My eyes widened and he took notice of that. "It seems there are things that we need to talk about, don't you think?"

I relaxed my fists and smirked. "You bet I do."

A/N: Woah! This damn chapter even made me break my not-more-than-9-pages rule! But the more imporant thing is how this damn duel took me so LONG to write. I originally wanted to make Fujiko use a pure Junk deck but then I realized that unless she has some fancy tech like Stardust Warrior she is pretty death and my dream of Yusei's deck being focused around 1 archetype was ruined even in my own fanfiction. Great job Konami!

Somewhere around the middle I also suddenly realized that Evan's deck needs a serious nerfing. For a moment I thought that I'm going crazy when I had to calculate how many cards Evan has in his hand at the begining of his turn, right after sending four of the cards in his hand to the Graveyard the previous turn. And the result I always got was 9 or higher...

"Whoah son calm down! Who do you think you are? Doll (Dubs: Strings) from Duel Monsters?"

Since most of us won't realize who Kyosuke Kiryu (writen in English style: Kiryu Kyosuke ) is because most of you probably remember better 5D's dub names - that's Kalin Kessler. Ah, I can't get over how some writers use the Dub names for some characters and the Sub for others! It gets really confusing when you don't know what you need to google in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia. That's more awkward English-Japanese that what silvernet is telling me about!

There wasn't much activity from the readers' side this time (not like I am in any position to complain about it).

EH! Who cares!

Response to ScalchopWarrior: I'm happy that you liked it. For the questions on the first I haven't decided yet and I believe this chapter is more than a clear answer to the second.
