On one evening at the Obelisk Boys Blue Dorm, Wolflegs was lying down on his bed going over the previous events…
All the third year students from every dorm, gathered at Spitelout's classroom and watched the top ten students overall year scores. But at the very top was a perfect score from Wolflegs Ingerman.
"Congrats Wolflegs, you've done it again!" Spitelout congratulated. "With the highest scores, you'll be able to headline this year's graduation match! All that's left is to choose your opponent! So, who will it be?"
After much thought, Wolflegs of Duel Academy sat up.
'Who will I duel? The only one worthy…' He thought. 'It's time to give Hiccup his rematch…'
"AAAHHH!"
At the Slifer Dorm, Fishlegs was freaking out about his, Ragnar's and Hiccup's visitor: His older brother.
"Sorry about that…" He apologized to Wolflegs. "I never expected to see you, big brother."
"Wolf always freaks you out, Legs," Hiccup said staring as Wolflegs walked into the dorm, looking around.
"So, what brings you here?" Ragnar asked.
"You know in my entire three years at the Academy, I never had set foot in this dorm outside your cafeteria…" Wolflegs said amusedly. "It's nice to finally have a reason to now…"
"A reason?" Hiccup asked.
"A duel," said Wolflegs, making the Slifers face-fault.
"Are you serious?" Fishlegs asked.
"Very…" Wolflegs admitted. "I want to duel you in the Grad Match, Hiccup."
"Wow really!" Hiccup stared. "Well, you can count me in."
"The Grad Match!" said Fishlegs. "That's the biggest match of the year!"
"And you wanna duel, Hiccup!?" Hiccup asked.
"Right, til then…" said Wolflegs as he made his way to the door. "But you know, this dorm room, it suits you kids well…" And with that he left with a smile.
"You know, with him it's hard to know whether you giving a compliment or an insult," said Ragnar crossing his arms.
"To think, that last match of the year, and I'm in it!" Hiccup stared.
"Yeah, but think about it!" Fishlegs stated. "It's against the only student that you ever lost to and you're gonna be duelling him in front of the entire school!"
"Relax, Legs," Ragnar held his hands up. "It's not that big of a deal. It's just a duel…"
"No it's not!" Fishlegs continued. "If he loses, he'll be stuck in his Shadow forever!"
"Fishlegs, I just duelled against someone who wanted to rule the entire world I think a plain ordinary duel won't kill me," said Hiccup.
"You're good, Hiccup, but Wolflegs… he's undefeated. Sure there was that duel against Camula, but he lost on purpose to save me. Other than that he's undefeated, unbeaten."
Hiccup sighed. "Fine, if it makes you feel better… I'll prepare…" he went to sit at the desk and pulled out his deck, along with some extra cards.
Ragnar turned to smile at Fishlegs. "He'll be fine…" he assured.
"I hope so."
Elsewhere, Astrid, Heather, Snotlout, Speedfist and the twins were talking amongst each other.
"Did you guys hear the news?" Astrid asked them. "Hiccup's gonna be facing Wolflegs in the graduation match!"
"My, that has the makings of a great match!" Speedfist stated. "An Obelisk versus a Slifer; a third year student versus a first year; should be good!"
"And it's also the rematch that we've been wanting to see most…" Heather said.
"This will be so awesome," Ruffnut said excitedly.
"I know, I wonder there is going to be any explosions?" Tuffnut pondered.
The only one not excited by this news was Snotlout, who was stamping his feet furiously. "It should be me! Now that would be an awesome match!"
Suddenly, Agnar popped out of the trees spooking the six of them.
"Not sure about that Snotty!" he said as he landed on his feet. "You see with Wolf and Hiccup it'll be cool calm and collective versus fast and furious!"
"Well, I'm not sure about the furious part," Astrid mused. "But Hiccup definitely duels with more passion than Wolflegs…"
"That might be the main reason why Wolflegs chose him as his opponent," said Heather.
"He duels with more passion than anyone," Asami said. "Even Jason."
"Indeed…" Speedfist muttered. "But sometimes that could hurt your game…"
"Should be my game," Snotlout muttered loudly.
Everyone just stared at him.
Later that night, Hiccup was sitting behind the Slifer Red dorm, pondering over his next match.
'What a way to end the year!' He thought. 'I get a final match against the best duellist at the Academy… the only student who's defeated me…' He then growled at the remembrance of the loss. 'The one student who stands at me being the best!'
"No two ways about it, I gotta win!"
Toothless appeared behind him. "Don't get too worked up about it or you'll lose your cool." He then turned his head "And by the way… You have a visitor…" he alerted him to a new presence. And when Hiccup looked behind him, he saw his opponent for tomorrow… Wolflegs.
"Hey, Wolf what's up?" He greeted.
"What's up, is that our duel's tomorrow, you ready?" He stated.
"Yeah…" The Slifer nodded.
"Then, I'll see you at the duel arena…"
The next day, everyone was at the main arena with every student from every dorm in a seat, clamouring about what a great match this would be.
"It's about to start," said Fishlegs.
"Yeah," said Astrid.
"Wolf and Hiccup duelling it out on the last throwdown of the year," said Agnar crossing his arms. "Man, who could ask for a better match."
"A mismatch," said Speedfist pulling out his PDA. "According to my figures, Wolflegs is quite the favourite."
"Some things you can't figure," Astrid glared.
"She's right, Hiccup's beaten the odds before," said Heather.
"And I doubt he's gonna stop now," said Ragnar.
Snotlout just sat there in silence, he was still annoyed that Hiccup was chosen over him.
Down below, the two duellists stepped onto the platform and walked towards the middle of it, where the two of them stared each other down.
"All right Wolflegs may the best duellist win," Hiccup said quietly, holding out his hand.
Wolflegs nodded and took his hand, shaking it.
After exchanging pleasant formalities, the two duellists walked back to their ends and faced each other once again, their duel disks now activating. Hiccup took his five cards for his hand and looked up at Wolflegs, who was doing the same thing. The air in the arena was thick with tension.
Chancellor Stoick looked at Spitelout, who held a microphone and nodded.
Spitelout returned the nod and stood up, "Now, the Graduation Match between Wolflegs Ingerman and Hiccup Haddock!"
"Enough small talk!" Wolflegs snapped.
"You got that right," Hiccup shot back at him.
The two of them now had a look of fierce determination on their faces.
"LET'S DUEL!" the two of them shouted as their Life Point meters flared to life and the crowd cheered wildly.
Hiccup: 4000
Wolflegs: 4000
Hiccup's hand hovered over his deck. "So, who goes first?"
"You choose," Wolflegs offered.
Hiccup smirked. "Well, in that case, I'll go second."
Wolflegs blinked, surprised at the choice. "Really? Second?"
'Interesting choice,' he thought, staring at Hiccup.
'By going second Wolflegs won't be able to summon that powerful Cyber Dragon during the first round, because there won't be a monster out on the field let him do it,' Hiccup thought, glancing at his hand.
Wolflegs bit his tongue in thought. 'Looks like someone's studied up on.'
"All right, Wolflegs, that's do this!"
"Very well then, here goes!" Wolflegs drew his sixth card. "I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization! Now, by sending some select monsters from my hand to the Graveyard, I can summon a Fusion Monster!"
"Right now?"
"That's right, Hiccup! There's more than one way to skin a cat… or in this case, summon a dragon!" Wolflegs held up three cards. "I'll send the three Cyber Dragons in my hand to the Graveyard in order to summon the Cyber End Dragon!"
Everyone in the arena watched as Wolflegs' most powerful Dragon appeared on the field, its three heads roaring fiercely. (ATK: 4000/DEF: 2800)
"Dear me!" Speedfist gasped.
"And me," Fishlegs moaned.
"He's good," Astrid murmured.
"That was quick," Heather said.
"Very…" Ragnar agreed.
Hiccup was a bit shocked to see the Dragon, 'I was wondering why he didn't care who went first, but now I know. He's prepared for any situation… the question is, am I? Especially with that Cyber End Dragon out! When that thing destroys a monster in defence mode, it deals piercing damage! Man, not the best way to start a duel!'
Growling, Hiccup shook his head. "Well, are you done, or is there anything else you wanna throw at me?"
"As a matter of fact, there is…" Wolflegs placed a card into a slot. "Different Dimension Capsule! Now Hiccup, I select one card in my deck and remove it from play," he took a card out of his deck, "but two turns from now, it comes to my hand!"
"Hey, I remember this…" Hiccup watched as the strange coffin sank beneath the floor. 'In our first match, Wolflegs used the Capsule to add Power Bond to his hand… wonder if he's doing the same thing now?'
"Finally, I'll place one card facedown, and end my turn," Wolflegs finished as he slipped a card into his disk and emptying his hand.
'A facedown card too? I can't tell what those cards are, but I have a hunch. Yeah, that Capsule card must be Power Bond, and the facedown card must be De-Fusion! He must be planning to De-Fuse Cyber End Dragon, then use Power Bond to finish me off the rest of the way!'
Hiccup narrowed his eyes. 'I'm not gonna lose again!'
"Hiccup, go on, it's your turn now," said Wolflegs loudly, staring coolly at him.
Off to the sides, his friends saw how Hiccup was acting in this duel, worrying them.
"What's wrong with him?" Astrid asked in concern for her boyfriend. "It's like he's frozen up…"
"Aw man," Fishlegs whimpered.
"I'm sure he's fine…" said Ragnar, although concern could be heard in his voice. "He's probably just thinking…"
'Heh, Wolflegs thinks he's gonna outsmart me again, but this time…' Hiccup smirked a little. 'I'll outsmart him, and I'll do that right now!'
"Here goes!" Hiccup drew his card. "I summon Dragon Knight Hookfang in attack mode!"
Hiccup's musclebound knight appeared on the field, staring fiercely at the multi-headed dragon. (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1000)
"Now, I'm gonna activate the Spell Card Dragon Half!" Hiccup held up another card with the image of a dragon split in half. "It's got quite the effect, the first thing it does is cut the attack points of your monster in half!"
The three headed machine groaned in weakness. (ATK: 4000-2000)
"Now, a Half Token with the same number of attack points of your weakened dragon is summoned!"
An identical Cyber End Dragon appeared on the field. (ATK: 2000/DEF: 2800)
"I'm not done yet next I quit the Spell Card Inferno the Dragon Blade!"
A sword appeared in the air and Hookfang grabbed it.
"Hookfang, attack Cyber End Dragon with Inferno Dragon Sword!" Hiccup ordered, pointing to the real version of the three headed dragon. "Oh, and Hookfang gains 400 extra attack points when he battles against the monster."
A flaming aura surrounded Hookfang as a charge against the three-headed dragon. (ATK: 1600-2000)
Wolflegs kept a calm face as the hero came at his monster, and pressed a button on his duel disk, "I don't think so! I play De-Fusion"
Everyone watched as the Dragon split into the three separate ones. (ATK: 2100/DEF: 1000)x3
Hookfang backed up at the sight of the dragons.
Hiccup growled. "Against any of those three Cyber Dragons, I can still win, but against that one Cyber End Dragon, Hookfang still has a chance. A really small one, but I've got no other choice but to go for it and just hope for the very best…"
Once again, the muscular knight flew through the air and made contact with the Cyber End Dragon token, blowing it up completely, but the explosion took him with him.
"He did it…" Astrid murmured. "Hiccup destroyed Wolflegs' Cyber End Dragon!"
Speedfist nodded. "Indeed he did, Hiccup must've calculated that Wolflegs' facedown was De-Fusion. Impressive."
"Yeah, but that's not really Hiccup's style," Fishlegs piped.
"Really," Ragnar agreed. "He doesn't usually think two steps ahead, he much rather things on his feet… or foot as the case maybe."
"What's he thinking?" Heather asked.
"Hookfang may be gone, but says he was equipped with Inferno all of your spell and trap cards are now destroyed," said Hiccup.
Everyone watched as Wolflegs' capsule appeared on the field, but moments later was destroyed.
Spitelout gawked. "So, he was able to destroy the Cyber End Dragon on his first turn?" He shrieked in disbelief.
Stoick nodded. "Yes, it seems that way. Hiccup has really done his homework here…" he mused.
"The boys work is impressive, but it doesn't exactly fit with his style," said Gobber looking concerned.
Hiccup nodded his head. "In this duel, I'm playing with my head right from the get go!" He inserted a card into his disk. "Next, I'll place one card facedown and end my turn!"
"Oh, is that it? Very well," Wolflegs drew his next card. "First of all, the card removed from play using Capsule, returns to me."
"Hey!" Hiccup interjected. "Wait a sec! So… the card that was in there wasn't Power-Bond?"
"No, it wasn't. Seems like you've over-thought this one, Hiccup," Wolflegs turned over the mentioned card. "It was Card from the Different Dimension!"
Hiccup's eyes widened a bit. "Okay, didn't see that coming…"
"Due to this," Wolflegs went on, "We both get to draw two cards from our decks and add them to our hands…" they did, giving Hiccup four and Wolflegs three.
Ragnar nodded. "I get it. To summon his Cyber End Dragon, Wolflegs had to use four of his cards. If he had used De-Fusion, then Power-Bond right after, there wouldn't be any cards left in his hand to use!"
"And that would be Wolflegs in a tough spot," Speedfist agreed.
"No kidding," Snotlout added. "That's what I would've done."
"I knew Wolf was too smart and clever to mess up in the first turn," Heather stated.
"Yeah, you're right," Astrid murmured.
"That was smart," said Agnar. He then looked at Astrid mischievously. "Maybe you should root for him instead of your boyfriend."
"Shut up," Astrid growled.
"C'mon, Jay…" Fishlegs stared hard at the due. "Hang in there!"
"All right…" Wolflegs looked up at Hiccup. "Cyber Dragon wage a direct attack with Strident Blast!"
"Don't think so! I play a Trap called Draining Shield!" Hiccup cried out as his facedown was revealed. Moments later, a yellow dome appeared around him and absorbed the oncoming blast of energy.
"Sorry Wolflegs, but your Dragon's attack is cancelled!" Hiccup grunted as the dome disappeared. "And I get more Life Points, equal to the attack points!"
Hiccup: 6100
Wolflegs: 4000
"That's fine, Hiccup, you'll need them, because my remaining two Cyber Dragons are going to attack you, Hiccup!" Wolflegs pointed at Hiccup as his monsters reared upward. "STRIDENT BLAST!"
Both his dragons struck Hiccup with their double attack.
Hiccup: 1900
Wolflegs: 4000
"Next, I'll play one card facedown and end my turn," Wolflegs finished, slipping a card into his disk.
"Wow, Hiccup just barely survived that turn," Astrid breathed. "Too close."
"It'll be even closer next time," Speedfist thought aloud. "Those Dragons are still out, meaning that Hiccup's in a constant state of peril. He must neutralize them!"
"Yeah, no joke, Speedfist, but the question of the day is how…" Agnar scratched his head. "And more importantly, when?"
"You know…" Fishlegs sat back. "Normally, I would say not to worry but with the way that Hiccup's over-thinking things here, I'm really not so sure…"
"Me neither," Heather stared ahead.
Astrid frowned a little, knowing that he was right. "I know…"
"Stop over-thinking," Ragnar murmured from his seat.
Snotlout glanced at them both for a few seconds before looking ahead.
'Okay, maybe things didn't go exactly to plan!' said Hiccup mentally, glaring at the three beasts ahead of him. 'I just need to think of a way to get rid of those Cyber Dragons, and I've got to do it right now!'
"My turn!" He drew, having five. "I play the Spell Card Costs Down. So by sending one card for my hand to the Graveyard I can lower the level of the monsters in my hand by two." He then discarded his Dragon Emblem Trap Card. "Oh, and since I sent dragon emblem to the Graveyard I can look through my deck and grab an Dragon Knight and place in my hand," Hiccup began looking through his deck, "and I'm choosing Dragon Knight Stormfly and since she is now a level four I can summon her."
Suddenly appearing on the field was his favourite female warrior. (ATK: 2000/ DEF: 1900)
"And next I'll equip her with her trusty Dragon Knight Axe which will give an 800 attack point boost," said Hiccup as he inserted another card.
Stormfly outstretched her hand and a battle-axe appeared in it. (ATK: 2000-2800)
"Oh, and Stormfly is able to attack all your monsters at once," said Hiccup. He then turned his gaze on Stormfly. "Do your thing Stormfly and take out those Cyber Dragons!"
Stormfly raised her act and charged that the Cyber Dragons destroying them all with free swipes with her axe.
Hiccup: 1900
Wolflegs: 1900
"My goodness!" Spitelout shot up from his seat, horror-struck. "All three Cyber Dragons destroyed in one turn!"
Stoick stared in amazement. "Remarkable… this duel certainly is living up to its hype!"
Gobber just sat there looking concerned.
Hiccup smiled proudly. "Now look who's thinking two steps ahead."
Wolflegs scoffed and smiled a little at Hiccup. "You're a fool!"
"What?"
"I'm activate Return Soul! Since all three of my Cyber Dragons were destroyed, I can put them right back into my deck!"
Hiccup grit his teeth. 'Great, just perfect. Just when I thought I was rid of them, they're back and rarin' to get rid of me!'
Wolflegs slowly shuffled his deck, eyes, closed. "What a shame… I thought I picked Hiccup Haddock to be my opponent… wonder where he is?"
"Say what?" Hiccup looked at him, confused.
"You're not being yourself, you're not playing with your heart!"
"That's right!" Hiccup shot back. "Because to beat you, I gotta play with my head! Like I'm doing now!"
"What you're doing, Hiccup, is wasting my time."
"Sure I am…" said Hiccup. "You can quit the mind games, okay? They're not gonna work! I'm not gonna lose to you again!"
"Mind games?" Fishlegs looked at his best friend. "I don't think that's what Wolflegs' doing, but he does have a point. Hiccup's been duelling differently this whole game!"
Wolflegs drew his card. "It's my turn now, and I play the Spell Future Fusion! But, this is no ordinary Fusion… you see, I can fuse cards not in my hand!"
"I know how it works," Hiccup interrupted.
Wolflegs ignored him. "Therefore, I send three Cyber Dragons from my deck to the Graveyard in order to summon the Cyber End Dragon!"
Hiccup gasped as he heard Wolflegs' comment of the return of Wolflegs' signature monster. Moments later, Cyber End Dragon soon return to the field once more. (ATK: 4000/ DEF: 2800)
"Of course, monsters created by Future Fusion aren't allowed to attack on the turn their summoned, but I can wait."
'Hey, but I can't,' Hiccup thought as he stared up at the Cyber End Dragon. 'I need to think of a way to get rid of that thing, fast.'
"All right then, my turn!" Hiccup drew his card, having three and place the three of them on the field. "I'll place three cards facedown and that will do."
Wolflegs scoffed. "Still with your head. You can't win this way!"
"Don't think so?" said Hiccup. "Well, we'll just have to wait and see about that. Go ahead then, Wolflegs, make your move!"
Wolflegs frown deepened. "What a disappointment you've become…"
"Enough with the mind games!"
Wolflegs closed his eyes. "All right, Hiccup, fine. If you won't listen to my words, perhaps…" he paused and drew his next card. "Perhaps you'll listen to my cards! First, I'll play the Spell card, De-Fusion! Now, one Fusion monster on the field returns to my Fusion deck, and my three normal Cyber Dragons come back!"
The fusion monster split back into the three originals. (ATK: 2100/DEF: 1000)x3
"Now, my next card is…"
A blinding light ripped through the arena, causing Hiccup to yelp and cover his eyes as the light became brighter and brighter.
"Recognize it, Hiccup?" Wolflegs asked as a thick cloud formation appeared overhead. "It's Power-Bond, and I'm going to use it to bring back an old friend… the Cyber End Dragon!"
With an almighty roar and a flash of lightning, Wolflegs' best monster appeared on the field once more, taking its place behind its master. Everyone in the arena gasped and looked hard at the duel while Hiccup stared at his opponent, scared. (ATK: 4000/DEF: 2800)
"Wait, again?" Ruffnut blinked.
"But why?" Tuffnut asked puzzled.
"Because he's ready to finish this duel," said Ragnar.
"Why again, you may be asking?" Wolflegs said coolly. "Quite simple really, if a monster is summoned by the effects of Power-Bond, it's attack points are doubled!"
Cyber End Dragon roared at its major power boost. (ATK: 4000-8000)
'Just great! Looks like things then go exactly according to plan and ride into a giant loss.' Hiccup looked up at the mechanical hydra. 'And maybe a giant loss One that I may never live down!'
"And to think, I admired you Hiccup…" Wolflegs slowly shook his head, his eyes staring into Hiccup's. "I won't make that mistake again… nor will anyone else!"
"Oh no!"
"You're through!"
