Author's Notes: Hello, this is R! I know I don't pop in much, but I did today because I wrote the majority of this episode and to say thank you for reading! D & I have a lot of fun planning and thinking about episodes. I used to write fanfiction by myself, but when D suggested we publish this together, I was interested into seeing how it would turn out. It's much better than writing alone. We hope you enjoy this story and leave a review!

P.S- D & I need your help: "Connector of Nephthys" (a new ritual monster) comes out in November, and we need help deciding which three cards currently in our Decks are going to have to get the axe. (Check Episode 1's Card Corner for more details.) anyways, I'll list the six non-Nephthys monsters in our Decks here, and if you guys want, let us know which three should go to make room! (Please note: D & I have different cards in our Nephthys Decks. If you see a /, that means that the cards listed are the monsters that are different in each Deck.)

Episode 21: Yumiko's Paradiso

(Divine Comedy Pt. 3)

Yumiko, mounted on her Duel Runner, takes deep breaths as she waits for David O'Dill's introduction. Her mind going through everything Kiba taught her about Turbo Dueling, as well as her past victories, and the friends waiting for her.

The MC's voice rings out.

"And here we are, folks! The final duel between these TWO SKILLED TEAMS!"

Whistles, screams and names of various duelers pour from the crowd.

"REPRESENTING TEAM GEKKO, THEIR TEAM CAPTAIN, THE RISING FIREBIRD, YUMIKO HITORI, RIDING HER DUEL RUNNER, THE RISING PHOENIX!"

Yumiko's Runner, Rising Phoenix, bursts into the arena with a humming sound, and makes its way up to the starting line. Yumiko's face is serious behind her helmet's visor, and her body appears tense, although she tries to lighten up as she waves to the crowd.

Nami notices this, as she and Colt wave back.

"Colt, does she look super nervous to you? Like more than usual?"

Colt nods.

"Yeah…. but that's when she does her best."

David O'Dill continues with the announcing.

"AND Representing Team Divine Comedy, THEIR TEAM CAPTAIN, Lead singer, and Guitarist, Paradisus, RIDING THE MERKABAH!"

The revving of Paradiso's Duel Runner engine is piercing as he cruises up to the starting line. It is an absolute monster. It is a four-wheeled Runner, and honestly looks like it could be classified as a small car. It has a pearl-white coat, with the front shaped like an angel. At the back of the vehicle, sitting like a king, is Paradisus. His Runner's seat is lined with red velvet, and multiple exhaust pipes stretch out behind it, giving the impression of wings. Paradisus speaks through his helmet's comm system, whistling as he looks at his opponent.

"So, I finally get to Duel this little fire bird. I really hope ya can make it worth my while for not lettin' me face your Wolf."

Yumiko scowls as she responds.

"Seeing as how he's the one that trained me, you'll get the Duel you want."

Paradisus chuckles.

"Haha! Let's do this!"

As the two rev their Runners, Yumiko hopes her dueling matched her smack talk. The MC speaks.

"ALRIGHT! BOTH CONTESTANTS ARE READY, LET'S START THE COUNTDOWN!"

"READY!"

"SET!"

"GO!"

The two Runners race across the Arena, and by all logic and reason, Yumiko's Rising Phoenix should have gotten the lead, as it did in practice runs, but its driver's mind was elsewhere momentarily, and when she realizes it, it's too late. Paradisus takes the first turn.

Yumiko swears.

"Dammit!"

Paradisus' voice rings through the comm system.

"Gotta pay attention, firebird! The field is mine!"

DUEL START!

Yumiko's LP: 8000

Paradisus' LP: 8000

An automated voice speaks.

"Speed World Custom- Primum Mobile, the Cosmic Sanctum activated."

Speed World Custom- Primum Mobile, the Cosmic Sanctum

Field Spell Card

(This card's name is always treated as "The Sanctuary in the Sky".)

Cannot be negated, cannot be destroyed. Neither player may activate Spells, other than "Speed Spell" cards. During each player's Standby Phase: that turn player places 1 Speed Counter on a face-up "Speed World" Spell they control (Max. 12). Once per turn: The turn player can remove the appropriate number of Speed Counters from their face-up "Speed World" card, and activate 1 of the following effects;

2: Add 1 card whose text lists "The Sanctuary in the Sky" in it from your Deck to your hand.

6: Target 1 "Agent", "Mystical Shine Ball", or "Master Hyperion" that is in your GY/or is banshed: Special Summon it.

12: Destroy all non-Fairy monsters on the field, and if you do, Special Summon 1 LIGHT Fairy monster from your hand, Deck, or GY, whose Level is equal to or less than the number of monsters destroyed by this effect.

Paradisus grins.

Speed Counters: 1

"Alright then. I'll start off by laying three cards, face-down, and Summoning The Agent of Wisdom- Mercury onto the field in DEF Mode!"

The Agent of Wisdom- Mercury

Level 4/LIGHT/Fairy/Effect/ATK 0/DEF 1700

During your Standby Phase, if you controlled this face-up card and had no cards in your hand at the end of your opponent's last End Phase: Draw 1 card.

"I think I've done enough, so I'll end my turn. You're up!"

Turn End.

Yumiko's Turn.

"I draw!"

Speed Counters: 1

"I'll start off by playing Chronicler of Nephthys in DEF Mode!"

Chronicler of Nephthys

Level 2/WIND/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 300/DEF 1200

You can target 1 "Nephthys" card in your GY, except "Chronicler of Nephthys"; destroy 1 card in your hand, and if you do, add that target to your hand.

You can only use each effect of "Chronicler of Nephthys" once per turn.

Yumiko continues.

"I then lay two cards, face-down, and I'll end my turn! Go!"

Turn End.

Paradisus' Turn.

Paradisus speaks, amusement in his voice.

"Not much for attackin' right away, huh? Well don't worry about that! I draw!"

Speed Counters: 2

He continues.

"I'll lay one card, face-down, and I'll then bring out my Agent of Creation- Venus in ATK Mode!"

The Agent of Creation- Venus

Level 3/LIGHT/Fairy/Effect/ATK 1600/DEF 0

Pay 500 LP: Special Summon 1 "Mystical Shine Ball" from your hand or Deck.

Paradisus throws his hand out dramatically as he continues.

"I then use Venus' effect! By payin' 500 LP apiece, I can Summon a Mystical Shine Ball from my hand or Deck! I pay 1500 to bring out all three of the ones I have in ATK Mode!"

Paradisus' LP: 6500

Paradisus' Venus shines, and throws out her arms. As she does so, three spheres of glowing light manifest out onto Paradisus' field.

Mystical Shine Ball

Level 3/LIGHT/Fairy/Normal/ATK 500/DEF 500

A soul of light covered by a mystical shine. When you see its beautiful shape, your dream will come true.

Paradisus continues.

"I'll now attack your Chronicler with my Venus! Get her!"

Venus blasts Yumiko's Chronicler, with Paradisus' amusement evident.

"And now that you're defenseless, I'll have all three of my Mystical Shine Balls attack you directly! Sic her!"

Paradisus' balls swing low, and bombard Yumiko, inflicting damage.

"AH!"

Yumiko's LP: 6500

Paradisus shrugs.

"I guess you weren't all up to snuff. I end my turn!"

Turn End.

Yumiko's mind flashes back to her training.

Yumiko and Kiba come to a halt after yet another Turbo Dueling session. Yumiko has lost and lets out a sigh as she removes her helmet.

"This is hopeless, Kiba. Teach Colt or Nami because this just isn't working for me!"

Yumiko puts her helmet down on the seat of the Duel Runner, as Kiba removes his own and approaches her.

"You know, Babe, Nami talks to me, and she tells me interesting things about you."

Yumiko's arms are folded as she speaks.

"And what does that have to do with anything?"

Kiba shrugs.

"Nothin' much, except somethin' happened two years ago regarding a certain gymnastics competition, in which you took silver in vault."

Yumiko is quiet as Kiba continues.

"I thought this was pretty interestin' because my data picked up that vault is your worst event, and Nami said you hated it, and yet you got silver. Why?"

Yumiko unfolds her arms, but her eyes still do not look up at Kiba as she answers.

"Because… because I wanted to kick its ass instead of falling on mine. I fell every time I did that event."

"Do you fall now?"

"…No."

"Well, Same thing goes for Turbo Duelin', either it kicks your ass, or you kick it. You have the cards, you know the rules, what you lack is the confidence, and ya ain't gonna get that if you quit now."

Yumiko nods her head as the two re-mount their Runners and speed off into the practice arena.

Yumiko's Turn.

"I draw!"

Speed Counters: 2

Yumiko thinks to herself.

"It would've been nice if I still had Chronicler, but I think I can still make do with this…"

She speaks.

"Okay, Paradisus! I Summon Matriarch of Nephthys in DEF Mode!"

Matriarch of Nephthys

Level 2/WIND/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 600 /DEF 600

You can target 1 Level 4 or lower "Nephthys" monster in your GY, except "Matriarch of Nephthys"; destroy 1 card in your hand, and if you do, Special Summon the targeted monster in Defense Position, but negate its effects. During your next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed by card effect and sent to the GY: You can Special Summon this card from the GY. You can only use each effect of "Matriarch of Nephthys" once per turn.

"I now use her effect! By destroying a card in my hand, I can now Special Summon my Chronicler back onto the field in DEF Mode!"

Chronicler of Nephthys

DEF 1200

Paradisus scoffs.

"So what? I'll just get to destroy it with my Venus again next turn!"

"That's what you think! I now use my Chronicler and Matriarch as Xyz Material, allowing me to access the Overlay Network!"

Yumiko's monsters spiral into a galaxy-shaped gate as she speaks.

"I call on a monster strong as stone, stronger than iron! The immovable object! I Xyz Summon Gachi Gachi Gantetsu, in DEF Mode!"

Gachi Gachi Gantestu

Rank 2/EARTH/Rock/Xyz/Effect/ATK 500/ DEF 1800

2 Level 2 monsters

If this face-up card would be destroyed: You can remove 1 Material from it, instead. Face-up monsters you control gain 200 ATK/DEF for each Material attached to this card.

Yumiko feels a surge of confidence.

"This guy's no pushover! You see, as long as he has Material, all monsters I have get a 200 ATK/DEF boost for each one he has! This makes his DEF strong enough to resist anything you can throw at me!"

Gachi Gachi Gantetsu

DEF 2200

Yumiko grins.

"I end my turn!"

Turn End.

Paradisus' Turn.

"Alright! I draw, and since it is now my Standby Phase, and I had no cards in my hand when your turn ended, My Mercury allows me to draw one more card!"

Speed Counters: 3

Paradisus grins as he looks at the cards he's just drawn.

"I then play the Speed Spell- High-Tune!"

Speed Spell- High-Tune

Spell Card

If you have 3 or more Speed Counters: Target 1 face-up monster you control; it is treated as a Tuner monster this turn, but it cannot be used as Synchro Material, unless it is for the Synchro Summoning of a Level 7 or higher Monster. Monsters you control cannot attack the turn you activate this card, except Synchro Monsters. You may only activate 1 "Speed Spell- High-Tune" per turn.

"With this card, I can have one of my Mystical Shine Balls be treated as a Tuner monster this turn, and now that it is a Tuner, I think I'll make use of it! I Tune my Mystical Shine Ball with my Mercury, and another Shine Ball, in order to Synchro Summon Light End Dragon!"

Light End Dragon

Level 8/LIGHT/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/ATK 2600/DEF 2100

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner LIGHT monsters

If this card battles an opponent's monster (Quick Effect): You can decrease this card's ATK/DEF by 500, and, if you do, your opponent's monster loses 1500 ATK/DEF until the End Phase.

Paradisus' dragon emerges from the clouds, brimming with light. As his dragon roars out, Paradisus speaks.

"I now attack your Gantetsu with my Dragon!"

Yumiko shakes her head.

"Nice try, but by removing a Material from him, I can save him from getting destroyed!"

Gachi Gachi Gantetsu

DEF 2000

"I know, and that was what I was hopin' for! You see, by reducin' my Dragon's strength, I can have your monster lose 1500 ATK/DEF until the end of the turn, makin' him more than weak enough to blow away!"

Light End Dragon

ATK 2100/ DEF 1600

Gachi Gachi Gantetsu

ATK 0/DEF 500

Paradisus continues his attacks.

"Now, Venus! Attack her rock!"

"Did you forget? I can remove another Material from him to keep him around!"

Gachi Gachi Gantetsu

DEF 300

"Yeah, but now he's weak enough that my Shine Ball can take him out! Go get him, Mystical Shine Ball! Attack her Gachi Gachi Gantetsu!"

Mystic Shine Ball swings low, and crashes through the chest of Yumiko's monster, causing him to dissolve into dust.

Paradisus shakes his head in disappointment.

"Sheesh! This is too easy! Maybe ya aren't gonna give me the fight I'm lookin' for, huh?"

Yumiko doesn't answer, but Paradisus can hear her breathing heavily over the intercom.

"What, you got nothing to say back?"

"Hush, you're disrupting me from mapping out my victory."

Paradisus seems taken aback.

"Guh, why you-!"

Turn End.

Yumiko's Turn.

Yumiko draws.

"I don't think so! I activate my Trap Card, Storming Mirror Force!"

Storming Mirror Force

Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Return all your opponent's Attack Position monsters to the hand.

Yumiko's Trap creates a barrier of swirling winds, which blasts Paradisus' monsters back. Yumiko speaks.

"This little number returns all of your attack position monsters back to your hand, leaving my Hand safe, and your monster zones empty!"

Paradisus exclaims in surprise.

"Grah! You little-!"

He breathes in, and then exhales, smiling.

"It was a good move, I'll give ya that, but since it's still my turn, I'll bring my Venus back out onto the field in ATK Mode, and end my turn!"

Turn End.

Yumiko's Turn.

Yumiko draws.

Yumiko adds the card to her hand and continues.

"I then activate my Hand's effect! By Tributing both her and my Sonic Bird, I'm allowed to Special Summon Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys from my Deck!"

"Yeah, I don't think so! I activate Divine Punishment!"

Divine Punishment

Counter Trap Card

When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated, while "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

"This negates your Hand's effect, stopping you from bringing out your Phoenix, and leaving you with no monsters on your field!"

Yumiko grimaces.

During your next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed by battle or by card effect and sent to the GY: You can Special Summon this card from the GY.

Cerulean turns to Yumiko and speaks to her.

"I can sense your anxiety."

"It's pretty bad, isn't it?"

"Yes, and no. It is not the presence of anxiety that makes our character, but what we do with it, and I would say that you are handling matters well."

Yumiko smiles at Cerulean.

"In that case, we have a Duel to win! Cerulean, attack his Agent of Creation! Go!"

Cerulean attacks Venus with a blast of bright blue flame. Paradisus scowls as he takes damage.

Paradisus' LP: 5100

"I then end my turn!"

Turn End.

Paradisus' Turn.

"I draw!"

Speed Counters: 5

"I then use Hyperion's effect, by banishing my Mercury, I'm allowed to destroy one card on the field! I choose your Phoenix!"

Hyperion creates a glowing ball of fiery light and destroys Cerulean.

"Fear not, I will make my return!"

Paradisus continues.

"But wait, there's more! By banishin' a Mystical Shine Ball, I can take out yet another card! I choose the Spell/Trap you have in the center spot!"

Card destroyed was Speed Spell- Special Lease.

Paradisus laughs.

"And since you're now defenseless, I attack your LP directly!"

Yumiko's LP: 3800

"I now end my turn!"

Turn End.

Yumiko's Turn.

Yumiko grins.

"I now use Cerulean's ability! By destroying the Defender of Nephthys in my hand, I can now destroy one monster you have! I choose your Hyperion!"

Paradisus pales.

"NO!"

"Yes!"

Cerulean burns Hyperion away with her blue flames. Yumiko continues.

"Now, Cerulean! Attack his LP directly!"

"Gah, no, I'm not losin' this Duel!"

"Neither am I!"

Paradisus' LP: 2100

Magic Drain

Counter Trap Card

When your opponent activates a Spell Card: They can discard 1 Spell Card to negate this card's effect, otherwise negate the activation of their Spell Card, and if you do, destroy it.

Paradisus goes-wide eyed. Looking at the one card in his hand, it is clear cannot discard it, as it is a Trap Card.

"What!? No!...That means my Saturn will be too weak to take out your bird!"

"Got it in one, Paradisus!"

Yumiko's Trap sucks the color out of Paradisus' Spell, and it shatters. Paradisus goes quiet.

"I…..I end my turn with a face down."

Turn End.

Yumiko's Turn.

"I draw!"

Speed Counters: 4

"And now, since it is my next Standby Phase after I destroyed it, I now utilize the effect of the Defender of Nephthys that resides in my GY, allowing me to destroy 1 Nephthys monster from my Deck! I choose my Sacred Phoenix!"

Yumiko sends the designated card from her Deck to the GY and continues.

"And finally, four! Since my Sacred Phoenix was brought out this way, she destroys every Spell/Trap on the field! Obliterating Ashes!"

Yumiko's Sacred Phoenix lets out a cry, and with a wave of scorching hot fire, destroys the three cards Paradisus had face-down on his field.

Yumiko continues.

"I use the effect of my Cerulean Phoenix once more! By destroying my Matriarch, I can now destroy your Gellenduo! Take care of that pair of marshmallows!"

Blue flames roast Paradisus' monster. He roars out at Yumiko in defiance.

"No amount of fire you throw will defeat me!"

Yumiko smiles.

"Sorry, Paradisus, but this is the end for you! Sacred Phoenix, attack his LP directly and end this Duel!"

"With pleasure!"

Paradisus braces himself as Sacred Phoenix attacks.

Paradisus' LP: 0

Duel Over!

WINNER: Yumiko

The Runners come to a screeching halt and the crowd cheers. The two Duelists dismount, and Paradusis approaches Yumiko, chuckling. He holds out his hand.

"Well, firebird, ya beat me. How about a rematch sometime? The Wolf can wait another day."

Yumiko smiles as they shake hands.

"You bet!"

Paradisus hands a card over to Yumiko.

"Here. Ya won it fair and square."

Yumiko nods, taking the card.

"Thanks."

The two then depart the arena and reunite with their teams.

"Yumiko, you were fantastic!"

"Thanks, Nami. It's a shame Kiba missed it."

Nami coos.

"Aww, you miss him!"

Colt snickers at the statement.

Yumiko, on the other hand, has her face go pink at this statement.

"N-Nami! He was my Turbo Dueling coach, that's all!"

Colt rolls his eyes.

"Yeah. Riiiiiiiiiiight."

"Seriously! There's nothing I like about him other than his Dueling skills! He's an ass!"

Yumiko continues to try and defend herself from her friends' teasing as the three walk away from the Arena, a light rain falling down outside as they make their way to meet up with their other teammate.

Yu-Gi-Oh Legends: Episode 21

The End.

Author's Note: (D) This episode was…problematic for me. I liked how it turned out, but due to the timeline-related issues that occur with the next handful of episodes, I was so distracted by that problem that I just couldn't get into writing this episode. In the end, I just wrote the Duel itself down, and R wrote the rest of the episode. I edited it afterwards, and this is the result. I'm happy with it.

Anyways, off to the Card Corner!

The first thing we hear is swearing.

"GODDAMMIT!"

We are now in the resort suite, where Kiba is. He's shirtless, and seems to be in the process of stitching up a rather large cut on the side of his torso. His shirt is lying on the ground, bloodstained. He speaks.

"Okay. I don't have much time for this, so here's the Deck recipe for the Agent Deck!"

He hisses as he applies more antiseptic to the wound before continuing to sew himself up.
