Ulrich362: Things are getting pretty intense in this match wouldn't you agree Bopdog?

bopdog111: Yeah real intense. Mekanikle now back in action with Meklord Emperor Creation on it.

Ulrich362: Well, all we can do is wait and see what happens next.

bopdog111: I hope you guys are really enjoying this duel right now.

Ulrich362: It's nearing its end though, either Jarrod will win with his Meklords or Alex, Luna, and Leo will pull off a victory.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs, and Count Morningstar owns the Meklord Cards!

Ulrich362: Enjoy the chapter.

2 Synchro Tuner monsters + 1 non-tuner Synchro Monster

Effects to be revealed.


"We beat Mekanikle once, we can do it again." Leo stated.

"This is YOUR doing boy! I hope that your pleased with yourself!" Jarrod smirked manically looking at Mekanikle.

Leo flinched. "Our dragon can..."

"Can do nothing!" Jarrod smirked. "I activate Mekanikle's ability! Once a turn it can absorbed a Synchro Monster!"

Mekanikle shots wires aiming to snatch Holy Burst Dragon.

"I destroy Holy Burst Dragon to negate that effect but unlike Shooting Star Dragon or Red Nova Dragon... he doesn't come back." Leo revealed.

Holy Burst shattered as the wires missed.

"That still leave you three wide open!" Jarrod reminded before crying, "Mekanikle destroy the boy! The Cube of Despair!"

Mekanikle aimed it's cannon at Leo.

"I wasn't done, we each gain life points equal to the attack points of one banished monster, and I chose Skiel MK-II." Leo revealed.

(Leo: 2800)

(Alex: 4300)

(Luna: 4485)

"Trap card open! Life Giver!" Alex cried. "With then when I gain Life Points I can transfer the increase to Leo instead!"


Life Giver

Normal Trap Card

Whenever your Life Points increase you can give the increase to your opponent instead.


(Leo: 5100)

(Alex: 2000)

Then the blast struck Leo sending him flying before he hit the ground.

(Leo: 1100)

Leo groaned weakly before trying to get up only to cry out in pain and collapse again.

"Leo!" Luna, and Alex cried.

Leo grabbed his leg in pain. Alex raced, and helped him on her duel board as she said, "Don't worry... After we win I'll take you to Casey."

"I can't... Alex..." Leo started before crying out again as she noticed his leg was twisted and obviously broken from his crash.

Alex started tearing up.

"WHY!?" Jarrod screamed. "Why won't you three just die!?"

"Because unlike you... we have people we care about." Leo answered before looking at Alex. "Don't cry, I'll be ok. I promise."

"Come on... We need you Leo." Alex told him with tears building.

He hugged her close before frowning. "I'll duel from here, it's all I can do but Alex... you're wrong, you don't need me I'm the one who needs the two of you."

Alex sobbed hugging him back.

"Well, are you doing anything else this turn?" Leo asked Jarrod.

Jarrod growled, "Fine! That ends my turn!"

Alex cried, "B-Be care-careful L-Leo."

Leo nodded.

Luna 4th Turn:

"Ok... time to try something crazy." Luna admitted. "If this doesn't work, I'll lose."

Alex rode back beside her as she tried to keep herself from crying.

"Leo's ok, I promise." Luna reassured her before turning back to Jarrod. "Ok, I play the spell card Titania's Mischief!"


Titania's Mischief

Continuous Spell Card

After activation this card's controller must end their turn. At the start of each turn all monsters on the field are randomly shuffled and distributed to either side of the field.


"The hell is that?" Jarrod asked.

"A spell that ends my turn." Luna answered. 'And if we're lucky, gives us a fighting chance.'


Leo: 1100

Luna: 4485

Alex: 2000

Jarrod: 2075


Jarrod 12th Turn:

"And now you'll face the full wrath of Makanikle!" Jarrod promised drawing.

Suddenly a small fairy appeared before clapping as Mekanikle suddenly vanished only to appear hovering over Alex.

"What the hell!?" Jarrod cried shocked.

"Titania's Mischief, at the start of every turn the monsters on the field randomly go to someone else's field. So this turn, Alex has Mekanikle." Luna explained. "We don't have a monster strong enough to destroy him, so our only option is attacking when you don't."

Jarrod growled looking at his drawn card setting it face-down.

"Fine! Your move!" Jarrod yelled.

Alex 4th Turn:

The fairy appeared after Alex drew, and Mekanikle is getting randomized who gets control of it. Mekanikle appeared floating above Leo.

"But... It ain't his turn." Alex softly cried.

"No, but Jarrod doesn't have any monsters in play so he's vulnerable." Luna reminded her.

Alex nodded drawing before saying, "I summon Crystron Thystvern!" Thystvern appeared hissing.


Crystron Thystvern

Water Type

Level 3

Machine

ATK: 1500

DEF: 1500

You can target 1 face-up card you control; you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Machine-Type Synchro Monsters, also, destroy that card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Crystron" Tuner from your Deck. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 "Crystron" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Crystron Thystvern". You can only use 1 "Crystron Thystvern" effect per turn, and only once that turn.


Jarrod stared at the monster angrily.

"Now attack him directly!" Alex cried as Thystvern attacked Jarrod successfully hitting him. (Jarrod: 0575)

"Brat." Jarrod growled angrily.

"I end my turn." Alex ended.


Leo: 1100

Luna: 4485

Alex: 2000

Jarrod: 0575


Jarrod 13th Turn:

Jarrod drew as the fairy appeared as Mekanikle, and Thystvern were randomized. Thystvern appeared in front of Luna as Mekanikle appeared on Jarrod's field. Jarrod started laughing seeing this.

"I... play Battle Lock." Leo stated before groaning in pain revealing he had been slowly inching towards the card.


Battle Lock

Action Spell Card

Your opponent's monsters cannot declare an attack this turn.


Mekanikle was wrapped in chains.

"BRAT!" Jarrod screamed upset seeing that the monster he finally got back was trapped.

Leo just looked at him. "You can't beat us, I won't let you."

"I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!" Jarrod cried as fierce wings surrounded Titania's Mischief.


Mystical Space Typhoon

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; destroy that target.


Luna frowned as Thystvern moved in front of Alex returning all monsters to their original owners and leaving her and Leo with nothing.

"Your lucky I can't attack!" Jarrod yelled. "Your turn boy!"

Leo 5th Turn:

Leo drew his card. "I play Pot of Greed."


Pot of Greed

Normal Spell Card

Draw 2 Cards.


Leo drew twice.

Leo looked at his cards before his eyes widened. "I play the spell card Trap Gift, this lets me set a trap on someone else's field and in exchange until my next draw phase I don't take any damage. I set one card on Alex's field."


Trap Gift

Normal Spell Card

Set 1 Trap Card on your opponent's field. Until your next draw phase you don't take any damage.


With that he threw a card to her as she passed. Alex grabbed it checking what it is. Synchro Big Tornado. Alex nodded setting it.

"That's it, my hand is empty so I end my turn." Leo admitted before wincing. "I don't know how much more help I can be, the rest might be up to you guys."


Leo: 1100

Luna: 4485

Alex: 2000

Jarrod: 0575


Jarrod 14th Turn:

Jarrod drew, and cried, "Mekanikle attack the girl that doesn't have a monster! The Cube of Despair!"

Mekanikle turned, and aimed it's cannon at Luna.

"I summon Kuribon with her effect!" Luna cried.

Kuribon appeared as Mekanikle halted the blast.

You take no Battle Damage from this battle, your opponent gains Life Points equal to the attacking monster's ATK, and then you return this card to your hand.


"You can... give up... whenever you want." Leo said with a grin.

"How much more distractions would you use to continue!?" Jarrod yelled.

"We aren't going to lose, and sooner or later Mekanikle will be destroyed too." Leo told him. "I know it will."

"Fine! Your turn!" Jarrod yelled.

Luna 5th Turn:

Luna drew her card only to smile. "I play the spell card Eternal Magic, by shuffling a Fairy monster into my deck, one monster you control is destroyed. The only catch is you gain life points equal to its attack points, but it's worth it to destroy Mekanikle!"


Eternal Magic

Normal Spell Card

Shuffle 1 Fairy-Type Monster to your deck: Target 1 monster on the field, destroy that target. After this resolves your opponent gains Life Points equal to the destroyed target's ATK.


"Don't think I'm careless!" Jarrod cried before calling, "I activate Meklord Emperor Creation's ability! Whenever the equipped monster will be destroyed I can banish 1 Skiel, Granel, or Wisel monster from my graveyard! I banish Meklord Emperor Wisel MK-II!"

At that the spell fired the blast only for Mekanikle to block the blast with his shield.

"I... end my turn." Luna frowned.


Leo: 1100

Luna: 4485

Alex: 2000

Jarrod: 0575


Jarrod 15th Turn:

"My turn draw!" Jarrod cried drawing.

Leo, Luna, and Alex stared nervously.

Jarrod looked at the card before calling, "Mekanikle attack the girl!"

Mekanikle aimed it's cannon at Luna.

"Reverse card open! Shrink!" Alex cried quickly.


Shrink

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 face-up monster on the field; its original ATK becomes halved until the end of this turn.


"What!?" Jarrod cried.

Mekanikle: (ATK: 4000 / 2 = 2000)

The weakened Mekanikle blasted Luna sending her flying only to suddenly land on the ground gently.

(Luna: 2485)

"Luna!" Alex cried.

"I'm ok, but... Alex what can we do destroy Mekanikle?" Luna asked. "He can protect it at least four more times."

"There might be one way." Alex told her. "It's the only chance I have."

"Whatever you're planning will fail." Jarrod stated ending his turn.

Alex 5th Turn:

Alex drew as she looked smiled, "I summon the Tuner Monster, Crystron Rion!"

Rion appeared ready.

During your opponent's Main Phase or Battle Phase: You can target 1 of your banished non-Tuner monsters; Special Summon it, but it has its effects negated (if any), and if you do, immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Machine-Type Synchro Monster using only that monster and this card (this is a Quick Effect). These Synchro Materials are shuffled into the Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Crystron Rion" once per turn.


"Level 3 Rion tune with level 3 Thystvern!" The two flew up.

"Coral Dragon, go ahead." Jarrod smirked.

(LV: 3 + 3 = 6)

"Dragon of the Coral Reef come forth from the abyss, and show your presence to spread peace! Synchro Summon! Level 6, Coral Dragon!" Alex cried as her Dragon Tuner appeared roaring.

"Next I activate my own Mystical Space Typhoon!"

The fierce winds shattered Meklord Emperor Creation.

"Alex... you did it." Leo said with a smile.

"Now I discard one card! Say bye bye to Mekanikle!" Alex cried as the dragon charged, and tackled through Mekanikle destroying him.

"Ugh... These desperate moves change nothing." Jarrod grunted.

"Except they aren't desperate, and you don't have anything stopping Coral Dragon's attack." Luna pointed out.

"Except for this. I play the trap Meklord Medic! And when a Meklord is destroyed it prevents you from going to your battle phase I can draw 1 card, and I gain Life Points to Mekanikle's!" Jarrod smirked.


Meklord Medic

Normal Trap Card

Only activate when a "Meklord" monster you control is destroyed: Gain Life Points equal to the destroyed monster's ATK then draw 1 card. The battle phase cannot be conducted this turn.


"What?" Leo cried in shock.

Jarrod drew as he glowed. (Jarrod: 4575)

"At least Mekanikle, and Asterisk are gone." Alex mentioned.

"True, we just need to finish off his life points." Luna agreed.

Alex nodded, "Your turn Jarrod!"


Leo: 1100

Luna: 2485

Alex: 2000

Jarrod: 4575


Jarrod 16th Turn:

Jarrod drew, and eyes widen at what he drew. A spell known as Matrix Fusion. He started laughing manically.

"Why are you laughing?" Alex asked nervously.

"Congratulations!" Jarrod smirked clapping. "Congratulations! You three are gonna be first I test this new piece of machinery on!"

Hearing that Luna and Alex both raced for Action Cards.

"Now I activate Infinite Prison's effect! By discarding 1 card I take a monster card from my graveyard, and place it face-down!" Discarding a card he took Mekanikle's card, and place it face-down. "And now by sending Infinite Prison to the graveyard all monsters I added to my spell, and trap zone with it's effect are added back to my hand!"

With that the trap shattered as the face-down monsters were shown to be Asterisk, and Mekanikle before being added to his hand. "Now you will know how truly powerful these two really are!"


Ulrich362: Well... that isn't good.

bopdog111: Looks like there was something worse after Mekanikle after all.

Ulrich362: Something much worse. Also apologies for the shorter chapters, this duel has been more challenging to work through than we expected.

bopdog111: And sorry if it was less exciting. Though it will be made up at the final chapter next.

Ulrich362: Hopefully, and hopefully you enjoyed this arc.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!

Ulrich362: See you in the finale of Synchro.
