"So, what now Hiccup?" Wolflegs asked. "You think you can beat my dragon? You've got one monster and she is about to be blasted into oblivion, it's over for you."

'No, it can't be,' Hiccup thought looking at the field. 'I know I can think my way out of this and I better start or else…'

"Come on, what's wrong?" Wolflegs asked and closed his eyes. "Unless, you're afraid. Is that your problem?" Hiccup didn't answer and Wolflegs looked at him with a firm expression. "Well then, I'll put you out of your misery! Cyber End Dragon, attack!"

"Not so fast," said Hiccup as he pressed a button on his duel disk. His face down card revealed itself to be a trap card with an image of a dragon growing twice its size. "Dragon Force! This card allows me to double the attack point of a Dragon-type on my side of the field until the end of the turn meaning Stormfly is going to get a power boost."

Stormfly stood firm as aura covered her body. (ATK: 2800-5600)

"That's pointless," said Wolflegs looking unimpressed. "You see, Hiccup, with my Power Bond I still have enough points to take out your Stormfly."

Hiccup just closed his eyes.

"Farewell, Hiccup. Cyber End Dragon, attack and end this duel!"

Everyone watched as the three dragon heads fired off a separate burst of energy that converged into one powerful stream headed straight for Stormfly.

The blast covered Hiccup side of the field as everyone wondered has Wolflegs won.

Their answer came up with Hiccup appearing out of the smoke, minus one Stormfly and two facedowns.

"Sorry, Wolflegs… but we're not done," he grinned slyly, crossing his arms. "Yet!"

Hiccup: 500

Wolflegs: 1900

Wolflegs' eyes widened in shock. "I don't understand, that hit you dead on. This match should be done!" He exclaimed as murmurs of surprise rippled through the audience.

Hiccup stood there, breathing heavily after the devastating attack. "Talk about activating a Spell in the nick of time," he muttered. "Thank you Emergency Provisions…"

Hiccup had used the effect of Emergency Provisions to gain 1000 more Life Points at the cost of his Dragon Force Trap card when you activated it, increasing his life points to 2900 before the 2400 points of damage went through.

Stoick chuckled and nodded in approval from his place in the stands.

Astrid held her hand over her heart. "That was too close!"

"Any closer and Hiccup would be defeated," Ragnar added.

"Now," Hiccup pressed a button on his disk. His last face down card revealed itself to be a trap card with the image of Dragon Knight Skullcrusher blowing a horn with the Dragon Knight emblem on it. "I'll play Dragon Knight Horn! With this, I can summon any monster with Dragon Knight in its name as it has four stars or less! And I choose Dragon Knight Scaldy!"

Then suddenly Scaldy jumping onto the field. (ATK: 800/DEF: 1000)

"Also, when Sclady is the only card on my field I get to draw two extra cards," said Hiccup he drew two cards from his deck.

'I may have survived this round, but just barely! So much for using my head over my heart…'

Wolflegs looked at the two cards in his hands and held one up. "Now, I'll summon Cyber Kirin!"

The machine that appeared was like a small metal giraffe. (ATK: 300/DEF: 800)

"And if I should sacrifice him, all card damage this turn, goes to zero! That means that my Power Bond damage is negated!"

Kirin vanished.

Speedfist whistled at the move. "Flawless!"

"Totally," Agnar said with a nod.

"Now he has a monster with 8000 ATK points on the field!" Heather gasped.

"Now that's card playing," Ragnar admitted.

"C'mon, where's the Hiccup that almost beat me before?" Wolflegs demanded.

Hiccup closed his eyes. "You're right Wolflegs," Hiccup admitted. "I wasn't duelling like myself and that was my biggest mistake."

Wolflegs raised an eyebrow. 'So he finally sees it…' he nodded.

"Okay, I should have played like myself from the get go and I was stupid enough to think that I could outthink you, but I won't make that mistake again," said Hiccup firmly. "You better watch out Wolflegs, because I'm back."

"I think we're in for a match now," said Stoick with a warm smile.

"Indeed, things are starting to get interesting," said Spitelout

Spitelout frowned at them, "Just what do you mean?"

"I mean that Hiccup learned a valuable lesson," Stoick turned and met his colleague's stare. "You see, Hiccup's a great duellist, but not because of his booksmarts, but because he plays with his heart, his soul! And also for the fun of it! Wolflegs helped him find the duellist that he left behind."

"Left behind?"

"All right, let's go, Wolflegs!" said Hiccup as he held up his disk. "Now then…"

Wolflegs chuckled. "Bring it!"

"My draw!" Hiccup drew, having three. "First Pot of Greed will let me draw twice!" He picked up two cards.

"Now I'll play one I summon Dragon Knight Windshear in defence mode!" The black haired female warrior appeared on the field in a defence position. (ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1200)

"Then I play discard Dragon Knight Sneaky! This little guy allows me to snatch one spell card for my opponent's Graveyard."

Wolflegs smiled "Seems like the old Hiccup's back."

A blur of movement made Wolflegs look down saw as a child in dragon-like armour similar to Sharpshot, only it was aqua blue, began to rummage through the Graveyard.

"Thanks Wolflegs! Future Fusion! Now, all I gotta do is to sacrifice a couple of monsters that can be used for a Fusion and bam! I get what they woulda made," he tossed a couple of cards into his Graveyard.

"So say goodbye to Fanghook and Meatlug and say hello to Dragon Knight Guardian."

Then appearing on the field was a large female warrior with purple and brown Dragon-like armour holding a large shield. (ATK: 1900/ DEF: 2600)

"He's special ability forces you to attack him and he deals to you is doubled," said Hiccup. He then inserted two cards in his duel disk. "I'll set to cards facedown and end my turn."

"Impressive, but too little too late!" Wolflegs drew his card.

"I summon forth Cyber Phoenix in attack mode!" Wolflegs cried. A mechanical bird appeared on his side of the field. (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 1600). "With Phoenix on the field any Spells or Traps targeting a certain monster are destroyed. Which means their effect gets cancelled out…" He then looked at Hiccup, "see where I'm going with this, Hiccup?"

"I got it, the Cyber End Dragon can't be targeted by Spell or Trap cards," Hiccup said grimly. 'That means it's practically invincible.'

"Will Hiccup finish up and lose already," Snotlout grumbled.

"This is a tough spot," Speedfist admitted.

Agnar looked at Astrid. "Your boyfriend not doing so well."

"Hiccup is no quitter, he'll find a way," Astrid glared.

"I'm not sure how he's going to accomplish that," said Ragnar grimly.

"He is in a bit of a mess," Heather admitted.

"I'm glad you finally figured out what was wrong, Hiccup, but right now, it doesn't matter! Cyber End Dragon, attack Guardian!" Wolflegs roared.

Hiccup watched as the familiar beams of energy went flying at his fusion monster.

"I activate my Spell, De-Fusion!" Hiccup announced pressing a button on his duel disk. "It lets me take one of the fusion monsters on the field and spread them back apart."

"Sorry, Hiccup, Cyber End Dragon can't be split, Cyber Phoenix is protecting him, remember?" said Wolflegs gesturing to his Phoenix.

"Who said I was going to split Cyber End Dragon?" Hiccup smirked and Wolflegs looked up. "I'm going to de-fuse Guardian!"

Wolflegs watched in puzzlement as guardians split into the two monsters that formed her. Both Fanghook and Meatlug soon reappeared on the field in attack mode. (ATK: 1400/ DEF: 900), (ATK: 1300/ DEF: 2000)

Cyber End Dragon's shot right between them.

"Why did he do that?" Ragnar frowned.

"I know, Cyber End Dragon will just attack one of them now," said Heather in puzzlement.

"Hiccup must have a plan," said Astrid.

Wolflegs was equally as puzzled. 'Even if you combine those Knights attack points they don't come close to my Dragons 8000. He's making a grave error.' His eyes and widen as he realised what Hiccup's plan was. "Unless…"

Hiccup smirked. "Unless, I'm not attacking I'm sacrificing. I now activate my facedown card!" He pressed a button on his disk and his facedown was revealed. "Here comes Elemental Burst!"

"Oh no!" Wolflegs stepped back a bit.

"Oh yeah! By sacrificing a Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire attribute monster, each and every card on your field gets totally destroyed!"

Soon his four monsters became pillars of elements. The four streams of power soared through the air and wrapped themselves around the Dragon and Phoenix, obliterating them with ease. Wolflegs, as well as everyone else in the arena, stared in complete surprise.

Hiccup smirked. "So long, Cyber End Dragon… can't really say I'm gonna miss him!"

Wolflegs slowly turned and looked right at him again, "You won't have to miss him, because the by destroying Cyber Phoenix I get to move one card from my deck my hand." Wolflegs and drew a card from his deck and smiled at it. "Don't you see way I've calibrated my deck is that Cyber End Dragon is never really gone, I'll always find a way to bring him back!"

"You're bluffing!"

"But I'm not, Hiccup," Wolflegs looked down at the card he drew. "Because the card I play now is a Spell called Time Fusion! With it, time is most certainly on my side! By removing one card in my hand from the game, it activates," Wolflegs explained, "meaning, I can automatically call up a Fusion monster next turn, without having to wait for a single summoning requirement!"

'So, he's right!' Hiccup bit his cheek. 'Cyber End Dragon will return, and soon too!'

"You can't win, and you'll see why next turn, Hiccup! Then, the Academy will see that you're a fraud!" Wolflegs glared at him, a confident look in his eyes. "Don't feel bad, you lost to the best!"

"Already writing your Graduation speech, Wolflegs?" Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "Not so fast, 'cause I'm still here!"

"Oh please, not very much longer," said Snotlout.

"Perhaps," said Speedfist.

"He needs one good draw," said Fishlegs.

"Let's hope he gets it," said Ragnar.

"He hasn't failed yet," said Heather.

"Come on, Hiccup, try and hang in there," said Astrid.

"All right, my turn," he drew his card. "I'll place this card face down and end my turn."

Wolflegs kept looking at Hiccup as he drew his card. 'You'll have to do better than that, Hiccup, especially after you see what I have for you!'

He took a card from his disk. "My turn, Hiccup! First, this returns to me! Card from a Different Dimension! I removed it from play when I played Time Fusion, but now it's back and it doesn't stop there. Next, its special effect activates and you know what that means: we both get to draw two cards!"

Both of them drew their cards, Wolflegs having three and Hiccup two. They looked at what they had drawn.

'Too bad nothing can help you now, Hiccup.'

'Wolflegs must be pretty confident to let me draw cards…'

"And now, I call forth…" Wolflegs raised a hand to the sky, towards the light above him. "CYBER END DRAGON!"

Another Cyber End Dragon appeared. (ATK: 4000/DEF: 2800)

"Not again…" Fishlegs moaned in misery.

"For once," Astrid blinked slowly. "You think he'd do a combo without that dragon…"

"It's his trademark," Heather reminded.

"Of course!" Speedfist snapped his fingers. "Because the monster was summoned by Time Fusion, it can't attack until next turn!"

Snotlout groaned. "Next turn? Man, how long do I have to wait until I see Hiccup lose."

Ragnar looked down at the stadium. "I have to admit the suspense is killing me."

"I'll end my turn with one facedown," said Wolflegs coolly as he a card into his disk.

Spitelout gulped and tugged at his collar. "Dear me, I'm sweating bullets over here! Can't we just declare Wolflegs the winner yet?" he pleaded.

"Not yet, Spitelout, after all, if there's one thing I've learned is to never count my son out until his Life Points are out," said Stoick quietly, his eyes dancing with excitement.

"Besides, this is getting good," said Gobber.

"My draw," said Hiccup, having three. "All right, I Spell Card polymerization and fused together Dragon Knights Toothless and Skull…" Both Toothless and Skull appeared on the field, but vanished as quickly as they appeared. "In order to form Dragon Knight King!"

Appearing on the field was Hiccup's mighty king in all his glory with sword in hand. (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000)

"And as for the cherry on top his special ability means he gained 300 extra attack point for every Dragon Knight in my Graveyard," said Hiccup at the silhouettes of his monsters appeared behind him, "and in case you haven't been keeping track that's nine meaning he gains 2700 attack points."

Dragon Knight King was soon covered by a bright aura as his foreman comrade gave him power. (ATK: 2500-5200)

"All right, now attack Cyber End Dragon my King!" Hiccup ordered.

Dragon Knight King raised sword and charge straight towards Cyber End Dragon and sliced right through him.

Hiccup: 500

Wolflegs: 700

"Oh yeah! But, Dragon Knight King's not done yet! After your monster is destroyed, you get dealt damage equal to its attack points… and that's 4000!"

Wolflegs watched in shock as Dragon Knight King floated above him with a plasma orb in his hand.

Hiccup smirked. "School's out, Wolflegs!"

"Not yet it's not!" Wolflegs cried, pressing a button on his disk. "I play a Trap card! Damage Polarizer! Now, all damage from a special effect goes to zero!" he explained as an electric current went around the or the Dragon Knight King just threw.

Hiccup rubbed his chin, growling a little. "I gotta admit, Wolflegs, that's a sweet card…"

"And, as you said it, for the cherry on top, we both draw one card, and for your sake, I hope it's good one!" Wolflegs reached down and drew his card while Hiccup did the same.

'I can't believe…' Hiccup thought

'I drew…' Wolflegs looked at his card.

'Battle Fusion!' They finished at the same time.

Hiccup looked at Wolflegs solemnly replaced the card he got in a slot. "I'll place this card facedown and end my turn." He then looked back at Wolflegs. "I guess you're up. What's it gonna be this time?"

"You'll see!"

"Well, whatever it is, good luck, because I have a feeling that this will be the last round!"

"I agree," said Wolflegs with a nod. 'The last round for you, Hiccup. My victory is assured. Prepare for the bitter taste of defeat!' He thought as he drew his card. He looked at it and smiled.

Fishlegs gulped. "I don't like the way he's smiling…"

Astrid glanced at him. "Especially since Wolflegs never smiles. Something's up here."

"Yeah," Agnar nodded behind them. "I think we're about to see what's up very soon… get ready for the final round between the school's two best duellists!"

Heather grinned. "This duel has been awesome! I'm excited to see how it ends!"

Ragnar nodded in agreement to his girlfriend. "Same here…"

"Hiccup, it's been fun, but now, I'm afraid that it's over," he held up the card he just drew. "I activate Power Bond! Now, by sacrificing the right monsters, I can once again summon the Cyber End Dragon!"

Snotlout blinked and leaned over the railing. "But how? You gotta have monster to sacrifice 'em!"

"Snotlout is right for once!" Speedfist agreed, staring as well. "His field is bare!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot… I don't need monsters!" Wolflegs plucked a card from his hand. "I activate Cybernetic Fusion Support! By trading in half of my Life Points, I don't need to make any sacrifices to summon my Fusion monster!"

Hiccup: 500

Wolflegs: 350

Once again, the multi-headed metal beast appeared with a roar, a strong gust of wind blowing around it as it roared. (ATK: 4000/DEF: 2800)

Hiccup looked up at it. 'You know, I'm starting to get really sick of this thing…'

Toothless reappeared nodding. 'I couldn't agree more…'

"And thanks to Power Bond, his strength doubles!" (ATK: 4000-8000) "And next I activate this, Limiter Removal!"

"Trouble," said Snotlout.

"Very severe trouble," said Speedfist.

"All coming for Hiccup," said Astrid.

"Thanks to this all Machine-type monsters out get their attack points doubled and guess what type my dragon is," said Wolflegs as Cyber End attack points were doubled once again. (ATK: 8000-16000)

"You're through!"

"I don't think so!" Hiccup pressed a button, "Go, Battle Fusion! Now my monster gains as many attack points as Cyber End over there since he's a fusion monster!"

Dragon Knight King grew in size towering over Wolflegs' machine. (ATK: 5200-21200)

"He can't do that!" Spitelout pointed and looked at his superior. "That simply must be against the rules!"

Stoick shot up from his seat. "Oh please, this is what duelling is all about!"

"Besides, we couldn't stop this duel even if we wanted to," said Gobber.

Wolflegs looked at the Dragon Knight, but his smile remained. "Nice move, but it's all for naught! I use the Spell card Battle Fusion!" He roared, taking a card from his hand. "That's right, Hiccup, I have one too!"

"Uh-oh," Hiccup looked up at the Dragon as it seemed to grow larger with more and more attack points pouring into it's body. (ATK: 16000-37200)

Suddenly, it all became quiet. The excitement in the air, the noise from the audience, even the growling from their monsters were gone. Hiccup Haddock and Wolflegs Ingerman were now alone in their own little world, staring each other down with a look of both pride and admiration in their eyes.

"Wow, Wolflegs, you really are the best!" Hiccup praised with a smile. "I'm gonna miss ya."

"And I, you, Hiccup," said Wolflegs evenly. "That's why, I'm passing you the torch."

"Huh?"

"When I leave here, you will be the best duellist at this school. Despite your rank, you will be the best, so make me proud, Hiccup."

The Slifer's smile widened. "I'll give it my all, Wolflegs, and I'll start right here, 'cause this duel's not over yet!"

Wolflegs' head went back a little, a look of confusion in his eyes. "Huh?"

As quickly as it had disappeared, everything came back: the monsters, the electricity in the air, the anxious audience all around them.

"That's right, I still have one trick up my sleeve, and here it comes!" Hiccup waved his hand and his facedown card was revealed. "I activate the Trap known as Final Fusion!"

Wolflegs' confused look became one of admiration. "How clever…"

Toothless laughed. 'Good going, Hiccup…'

"If this card's played, both of us take damage to our Life Points equal to our monsters combined attack points! You know what that means…" Hiccup trailed off, a sly smirk now on his face.

Wolflegs nodded, his own smile coming back to his face. ""Sure do!"

Everyone watched as both Cyber End Dragon and Dragon Knight King both monsters with incredibly high attack points flew at one another. A bright glow filled the arena, making everyone watch in awe moments before a tremendous explosion rocked the room, a huge cloud of smoke covering the duelling platform.

"What happened?" Snotlout demanded.

"Who won?!" Speedfist cried.

"I can't tell!" Astrid tried to see.

"I can't see!" Heather exclaimed.

"Me neither!" Ragnar added.

Everyone rose to their feet, all of their hearts practically on the verge of stopping completely. They watched as the smoke cleared away, and they could see what had happened to the duellists. Wolflegs was on one knee while Hiccup was laying on his back. While it looked like Wolflegs survived the blast, the result of the duel was the same for both duellists.

Hiccup: 0

Wolflegs: 0

(Draw)

One by one, a student or faculty member in the stands began clapping for the duel, and for the incredible duellists that showed them what they could do. Hiccup opened his eyes and looked at the crowd, still laying on the platform.

"You okay?"

The Slifer looked up to the side to see Wolflegs standing right next to his head.

"I think so…" Hiccup said with a nod.

Wolflegs smiled and looked at the crowd. "Looks like the duel's a draw…"

"Yeah…" Hiccup nodded and looked out at the audience as well. "Does that mean… we gotta duel again?"

"Absolutely," Wolflegs looked over his shoulder at Hiccup. "Someday, we will."

Hiccup looked at him, a familiar smile crossing his face. "Cool! I guess… until then, Wolflegs."

Wolflegs held out his hand. "Until then."

"Good," Hiccup slapped Wolflegs' hand. "I could use a break!"

"Me too…"

With that, both duellists laid back and started to laugh while the crowd continued to clap for them and their awesome duel. Hiccup's friends stood there among the clapping, proud of their friend and what he had done against the Wolflegs' final school match. This was a duel that no one would be forgetting anytime soon.
