Hey everyone, Poke'boy24 back with the next chapter of Duelist Loud where we will continue where we left off between Lincoln and Stephan's Duel as well as some more stuff happening back home.

Remember that I don't own Loud House or Yugioh in any way since they belong to their Original Creators except for the OC Cards I made for Lincoln's Deck.

Also if you want a better description on what Lincoln's Monsters look like, then check out my DeviantArt Gallery KidJuly24.

Now let get on to the Story!

(Chapter 7: Dino Dynamite!)

"Hmm, look like you still need some practice Rookie." Stephan said wishing he could forfeit but can't since he has a reason for being here in the first place.

"Hey don't talk down on me like that! I get enough of that from back home, just you wait and see because I'll be turning things around in no time!" Lincoln exclaimed as he drew his next card while the Hoodie wearing Middle Schooler just stared blankly as his Monster snarled ready to take on anything that comes its way.

"Careful Lincoln, though some think Armored Lizard is mediocre it's still a very tough Monster." Trek said as he watched from the sidelines looking at the difference in both their Life Points.

(Stephan's LP: 3500 vs. Lincoln's LP: 2800)

Unaware to the three, they never noticed the Camera broadcasting their Duel from the trees nearby.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'LL BE GONE FOR A WEEK?!" Rita yelled as Harold and Howard explained that they allowed her Son to attend some Card Tournament overseas.

"I'm sorry Ms. Loud, but the boys made such a well compelling explanation that just had to let your Son attend it seeing as he was invited!" Howard fearfully explained hiding behind his Husband since the Mother of their Son's friend came over to get answers onto why her Son was on an Island in the first place.

"Invited? By who?" Lynn Sr. asked with a raised eyebrow wondering who invited Lincoln in the first place as the McBrides began explaining.

/ / /Flashback, the Day before Lincoln left for Duelist Kingdom/ / /

"Now as you could see from this presented items that now only has an famous Game Creator made me a Deck using the drawing I have entered within a Card Design Contest years ago, but had also personally invited me to attend this special event he's hosting. And judging by these Star Chips and this Gauntlet along with this new suit of clothes, he felt that I should also participate in this Tournament as well." Lincoln reasoned dressed in Cylde's Suit since his was still at his house with Harold and Howard sitting on the couch with said items on the table in front of them.

"As reasonable as that presentation was, we can't allow you to leave seeing as we promised your Parents that we would look after you for the Summer." Harold said with his husband nodding in agreement.

"Plus who knows what might be on that Island, wild Animals? Poisonous Plants? Destructive Hurricane Storms?!" Howard added panicking about the possible dangers on the Island since they know nothing about it!

"Howie calm down, remember what Dr. Lopez said about spiraling!" Harold said calming the other Dad down as he started taking calm breathes before handing him a cup of Tea.

Seeing that Lincoln needed help, Clyde decided to step in and help his BFF. "But Dad, Lincoln is given a chance to play in a very special event that many people will watch. Plus the Maximillion Pegasus, Creator of this Card Game, had personally invited Lincoln to join this event and we don't want to be rude of such a world renown CEO invitation do we?" he asked getting his Dads to think about since they raised their Son to always be polite and clearly don't want to feel like they're offending a Celebrity and owner of such a major business.

"Well… We don't want to come off as rude, but what about the Dangers on the Island?" Howard said still not feeling the idea of sending a Kid away to an Island was a good idea.

"Mr. Pegasus hosted this exact Tournament 10 years ago so he must have taken great safety precautions as well as rules for this type of Tournament." Lincoln explained as he watched a couple of old recordings from that time before the Game had its permanent set of rules.

"Plus we can pack everything Lincoln would need like First-aid kit, Sleeping-bag, stuff that he'd needs on the Island." Clyde added as his Dads thought about it but still weren't convicted.

"Plus People you lose all their Star Chips are sent back home so if I'd lose a Duel, I'll still be able to come home likely it would be like going to Camp for a week." Lincoln added getting the McBrides to agree since this would work out for everyone with Lincoln getting a chance to participate in the Tournament and they would still be taking care of him when he comes back.

/ / /Flashback Over/ / /

"So you see, Lincoln will be find since we made sure he packed everything he needs while on the Island." Harold reassured the Loud Parents that their son would be fine but both of them still couldn't help but worry seeing as their only son was now out on his own miles away between Oceans.

/ / /Duelist Kingdom/ / /

"I summon *Flash Drago-fly in Atk mode!" Lincoln exclaimed placing down his Monster card onto the scanner as holographic image of the Insect type Monster appeared from within a zipping whirlwind before crying out stretching his limbs and wings before stepping onto his zone.

*Flash Drago-fly: Lv3
Element: Wind
Type: Insect/Effect
Atk: 600/Def: 900

"Why would you summon a weak Insect when my Lizard eats Insects for a meal?" Stephan questioned wondering why his opponent would do that but played it off as a Rookie mistake.

"Because next I'll be equipping him with this, the Equip Spell *Pinecone Mace to give him 400 extra attack points!" the White hair boy exclaimed placing it under his Monster's zone as the Forest themed weapon appeared within the Dragonfly's hand, giving it a few twirls, as he got in a readied position while his attack power increased.

*Flash Drago-fly(Atk: 600 + 400 = 1000)

"Now Drago-fly, attack Armored Lizard with Blur Strike!" Lincoln exclaimed as his Monster buzzed before quickly rocketing towards the Blue Reptile Monster who snarled before charging towards the incoming Insect and snapped its jaw only for the Anthropomorphic Dragonfly to suddenly disappear.

"Look like Lincoln's Drago-fly's Effect kicked in." Trek said from the sidelines since his already knows his friend's Monster's effect from their practice Duel back on the ship.

"Where did it go?" Stephan questioned wondering where the younger Boy's Monster was since it wasn't destroyed.

"That would be why he's called FLASH Drago-fly since when this guy attacks, his attack points double but seeing as he now has an Equip card on him, then his points increased by the original amount. Now Drago-fly, strike from above!" Lincoln exclaimed pointing upward getting the Middle Schooler to look up to see the Insect type Monster reappear above his Armored Lizard before slamming his Mace down hard upon his Monster's head.

"ROOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR! ! !" the Reptile Monster roared as it fell onto the ground before bursting into light particles.

*Flash Drago-fly(Atk: 1000 + 600 = 1600) vs. Armored Lizard(Atk: 1500)

(Stephan's LP: 3500 – 100 = 3400)

"And with that I end my turn." Lincoln said with a grin seeing as his skills were improving since this was one of the few strategies he came up with prier to the Tournament as his Monster's attack points returned to normal.

'Got to say I didn't see that move coming, but it will take more than that to convince me otherwise.' Stephan thought as he drew a card and looked at his current hand as he decided it was time to use the Field. "I summon Anthrosaurus in Atk mode!" he called as a large Red muscular humanoid Dinosaur with a Blue face and underbelly appeared onto the field.

"RRRRRRROOOOOOO-RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !" Anthrosaurus roared swiping its long arms and snapping its huge under-bite jaw as it was hungry for action.

Anthrosaurus: Lv3
Element: Earth
Type: Dinosaur
Atk: 1000/Def: 850

"WHOA THAT IS SO COOL!" Lincoln exclaimed looking at the new Monster since it looked like some of the Heroes/Villains from his Comic Books.

Sweat-dropping from the White hair boy's excitement from seeing one of his Basic Monsters, Stephan decided to press on with the attack. "Anthrosaurus, attack that Dragonfly with Prehistoric Assault!" he called as his Monster roared before charging with its arm ready to swipe at its target.

"But wait, both of our Monsters are evenly matched?!" Lincoln exclaimed as Flash Drago-fly blocked the Humanoid Dinosaur's clawed hand with his Mace only to cry out as he was caught in the Dino's jaw.

"LINCOLN, THE FIELD! His Dinosaur is powered by the Wasteland part of the Field!" Trek called out getting Lincoln's attention before his eyes widen upon seeing that Anthrosaurus's stats gained an extra boost.

Anthrosaurus(Atk: 1000/Def: 850 + 30% = Atk: 1300/Def: 1105)

"Yep, this Wilderness Field is actually a combination of the Wasteland and Meadow meaning like how your Warriors gets powered from the Meadow, my Dinosaurs will also get powered by the Wasteland." The older Boy explained before snapping his fingers as Anthrosaurus clenched its jaw causing Lincoln's Dragonfly to cry out before being snapped in two as Pinecone Mace fell onto the ground before bursting as well.

Anthrosaurus(Atk: 1300) vs. *Flash Drago-fly(Atk: 1000)

(Lincoln's LP: 2800 – 300 = 2500)

"See what I mean about Rookie Duelists hardly being a challenge. Now I'll end my turn with a facedown so your move." Stephan plainly stated ending his turn as Lincoln was now becoming nervous.

'Great, just when I thought I got a handle on things, something else comes up out of nowhere.' The Middle Loud child thought as he drew his next card before at his current hand seeing as he has two Monsters with one being Orange with the image looking like a Pangolin halfway curled up with its claws in a ready to strike position while the other was Yellow with the image of what looked like a massive Golem with a Tree-like body with root-like limbs standing tall and mighty before looking at the card he drew seeing it was a Trap Card with the image of two Dices, one White with Black spots and one Black with White spots, white two Snakes with inverted Colors popping out of the Dices ready to strike.

Frowning at his current hand Lincoln saw he couldn't go on the offense since the Pangolin Monster had less attack point while the Tree Golem Monster had higher attack points it was a Level 6 Monster meaning he need a tribute to summon it. "I set a Monster in Def mode and end my turn with a facedown." He said as both Monster and Spell/Trap zones flashed as he ended his turn.

"Seem you have been push onto the defenses, but let see if your defense can handle this." Stephan said drawing a card before placing it in his hand as he picked another before placing it onto the Zone scanner. "Mad Sword Beast in Atk mode." He said as a Grayish-Brown Rhinoceros-looking Dinosaur Monster with a Dark-Green shell on its back with Sword-blades for Horns, Tusks, and one on its shoulders appeared onto the Field.

"SSSNNN-AAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR! ! !" M.S.B. snarled as its Red eyes glowed as it received the Field's power bonus.

Mad Sword Beast: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Dinosaur/Effect
(Atk: 1400/Def: 1200 + 30% = Atk: 1820/Def: 1560)

"Now Sword Beast, attack his Defense Monster with Wild Blade Charge!" the Hoodie wearing Boy exclaimed as his Monster roared before charging at full speed as Lincoln's facedown Monster revealed to be a large Orange and Gray scale covered Sphere-like Monster before ramming it Sword-horn against it with enough force that a large dust cloud was kicked up.

(Lincoln's LP: 2500 – 420 = 2080)

"Wait how come I lost Life Points when my Monster was in Defense mode?!" Lincoln exclaimed confused upon seeing his Life Points go down.

"Lincoln that's because Mad Sword Beast has a special Effect." Trek said making the White hair Boy even more confused.

"He's right." Stephan said crossing his arm getting Lincoln's attention. "My Sword Beast has an Effect that allows it to deal damage even if my Opponent's Monster was in Defense mode. Seeing as my Monster's Attack point were higher than your Monster's Defense points, that mean you took the differences as damage." He explained getting Lincoln to understand what they were saying.

/ / /Royal Woods, Santiago House/ / /

Sitting on her bed Ronnie Anne was watching some more of the Duels recorded earlier today. "Heh well what do you know, this game actually seems like fun." She said to herself as she continued watching to Duel between two Girls.

Knock~ Knock~

Hearing the sound of someone knocking on her bedroom door Ronnie Anne paused the video and got up to open the door to see her Mom Maria dressed in her Nurse's uniform.

"Hey Mom, another late shift." Ronnie Anne said sounding more like a statement than a question seeing as her Mom had been working a lot at the Hospital.

"Yes Ronalda, work had really been piling up lately so I'm sorry to leave you and Roberto alone again." Maria sighed since the Hospital was tight on staff at the moment but she wish could spend more time with her kids since her Husband was stationed in Peru.

"It's okay mom, I thought this might happen which is why I got dinner heating up in the oven so me and Bobby will be find before he has to go to his Grocery Store job later." Ronnie Anne said before feeling her Mother rubbing her head causing her to blush a little as she was happy Lincoln didn't tell anyone about this since it would dampen her School Cred as a Cool Kid.

"How did I get so lucky with you?" Maria said smiling since her Daughter was always on top of things but felt conflicted because on one hand she feels proud about her youngest growing into a dependent young woman, but on the other hand she feels bad that she was glowing up a bit too fast seeing as most of the time they hardly have any Family bonding. "Well I'm off to work, and maybe one night we can all go out when I'm not busy." She added before grabbing her purse and heading to the front door.

"Good luck at work Mom." Ronnie Anne said waving bye to her Mom as she left for work.

"Oh and maybe we could invite your Boyfriend Lincoln since I barely got to meet him last time." Maria added causing her Daughter to blush in embarrassment.

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" she yelled causing her Mother to chuckle before leaving for work as the youngest Santiago went back to her bedroom to finish watching the video before taking dinner out of the oven.

/ / /Duelist Kingdom/ / /

"Anthrosaurus attack him directly!" Stephan exclaimed as his Monster roared as it charged across the Field as the dust from his Sword Beast's earlier attack cleared revealing the curled up sphere of scales before uncurling itself as the Dinosaur roared as it was knocked back by an unexpected tail swipe causing all three Boys to look at the Field confused.

"OOOOAAAA-OOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW! ! !" A loud groaning-sound bellowed as the dust settled revealing a semi-anthropomorphic Pangolin with Orange scales with Gray scales going along his head down to his long powerful tail, glowing Green eyes, Brown fur over his face and underbelly, and large Gray claws with three on his fore-paws and two on his feet.

*Proto-Pangolin: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Beast/Effect
Atk: 800/Def: 1400

(Stephan's LP: 3400 – 100 = 3300)

"Wait, I thought my Sword Beast destroyed your Monster?" Stephan questioned since he was surprised to see Lincoln's Monster was still on the Field.

"Lincoln, didn't you read your Monster's Effect before placing it?" Trek asked getting the White hair Boy to remain silent giving the Red head his answer.

"Okay, so maybe I didn't ready all of my Effect Monsters hehe~" Lincoln chuckled sheepishly before reading the Effect. "Twice per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle." He read as he realized he placed down a strong defense seeing the his Monster can take not one, not two, but THREE Attacks.

"Well Rookie, I'm surprised to say that you've lasted longer than I expected. But that beginner's luck will run out eventually." Stephan said before ending his turn.

Sweating nervously, Lincoln drew his next card before smiling. "YES! Finally a Monster great for this Field!" he exclaimed before placing the Card he just drew onto the Monster Zone next to his Pangolin as the zone on the Field light up. "Time to make this a Dino vs. Dino brawl because I summon *Pummel Pachy in Atk mode!" the White hair boy exclaimed as his Monster appeared on the Field.

"GGGGGRRRROOOO-OOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAWWWWWWW! ! !" Releasing a loud bellowing roar was an Anthropomorphic Pachycephalosauridae with Light-Blue scales, Blue eyes, a Light-Brown skull-dome and underbelly, 6 Gray spikes with two small ones on his nose and four longer ones around the back of his head, Red thick spotted scales along his elbows, shoulders, back, and legs, and big Orange three-digit hands clenched closed so it appears he's wearing boxing gloves.

(AN: Think of the Pachy-Zord from the Power Ranger Dino Thunder Series for a better description.)

*Pummel Pachy: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Dinosaur/Effect
(Atk: 1800/Def: 1100 + 30% = Atk: 2340/Def: 1430)

Lincoln grinned as his Monster got the Field bonus before calling his attack. "Now Pummel Pachy, hit Anthrosaurus with Jurassic Uppercut!" he exclaimed as his Monster charge with his fist reared back.

"RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR! ! !" Anthrosaurus roared as it was punched upward by Pachy's fist before bursting into light particles as soon as it impacted against the ground.

*Pummel Pachy(Atk: 2340) vs. Anthrosaurus(Atk: 1300)

(Stephan's LP: 3300 – 1040 = 2260)

"WOO-HOO! ! !" Lincoln cheered excitedly seeing as he manage to do some damage as their Life Points were no nearly equal.

"I wouldn't cerebrate yet because I activate my facedown, Fossil Excavation!" Stephan exclaimed as his facedown revealed to be a Trap Card with the image of a Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green humanoids digging out a Dinosaur skull. "By discarding a card from my hand, I can special summon one Dinosaur Monster from my Graveyard." He explained picking one of the cards in his hand before placing it on his Graveyard Zone. "And the Dino I'm bringing back is the one I just discarded! Say hello to my strongest Dino, Frostosaurus!" he exclaimed as the whole Field started becoming colder as a blizzard blast up from one of his Monster zones.

"RRROOOOOOAAAAAA-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR! ! ! ! !" A loud deep echoing roar sounded over the Arena as large Yellow eyes glowed before the blizzard disbursed reveal an extremely massive Sauropod Dinosaur with Dark-Artic-Blue skin encased in thick body of ice as it stomped its front feet down causing the whole area to shack as well causing Lincoln and Trek to fall off balance.

"T-T-That's one big Dinosaur!" Trek gasped as his goggles fell off showing his eyes which were widen in shock from how massive the older Boy's Monster was.

Frostosaurus: Lv6
Element: Water
Type: Dinosaur
(Atk: 2600/Def: 1700 + 30% = Atk: 3380/Def: 2210)

"Now Frostosaurus, stomp his Pachy with Glacier Crush!" Stephan called as his Dino lifted itself up on its hind legs before stomping one of its massive fore-feet on top of the smaller Dinosaur type Monster creating a massive ice sheet upon impact.

Frostosaurus( Atk: 3380) vs. *Pummel Pachy(Atk: 2340)

(Lincoln's LP: 2080 – 1040 = 1040)

"O-Ok-k-kay, t-that-t w-was j-just-t c-c-cold!" Lincoln yelled shivering through chattering teeth because even though it's a hologram, he could still feel how cold that attack really was.

"Now Sword Beast, attack his Pangolin!" the Hoodie wearing Middle Schooler added as his second Dino snarled before charging at Lincoln's only remaining defense even though his Beast type Monster withstood the attack, he still took damage because of Sword Beast's ability.

M.S.B.(Atk: 1820) vs. *Proto Pangolin(Def: 1400)

(Lincoln's LP: 1040 – 420 = 620)

"And with that I end my turn. Now you see what I mean about how different our skill levels are? Because no matter how hard you try or think you're great, there will always be someone much better skilled out there." Stephan said speaking from personal experience before ending his turn as Lincoln was on his knees panting from the massive amount of damage he took.

'H-He's just too strong! He was right, I'm just not cut out for this!' the White hair Loud thought seeing as he was way out of his league. Stephan and Trek had both been playing this game longer than he has and there are still thinks he don't know about!

"Lincoln, remember what I said back in our Practice Duel!" Trek called out hoping to help his friend snap out of the mental turmoil he was going through.

That was then Lincoln recalled the Red head's words from that Duel. "It's not over until the final card is drawn." He muttered pushing himself back up as he drew his next card and looked at it before a plan came to his head. "I tribute *Proto Pangolin to summon *Tree Golem in Atk mode!" he exclaimed surprising the Middle Schooler as his Pangolin disappeared from the Field as giant roots shoot out of the ground before forming into a large Golem with a Tree-like body with roots forming into limbs with four root-claws on its hands for fingers while two root-claws for toes before thick masses of leaves grew out on its head, elbows, and knees as large Forest-Green eyes glowed from within the head leaves.

"GGGRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !" the Golem released a deep hollowed bellow as it clenched its fists ready for battle.

*Tree Golem: Lv6
Element: Earth
Type: Plant
Atk: 1900/Def: 2200

Seeing the new Monster, Stephan wondered why his opponent summoned it in attack mode and not set it in defense? 'Just what are you planning…' he thought wondering what the Rookie's next move will be but didn't think of it much since this Duel will be over next turn anyway.

"Now Tree Golem, attack his Sword Beast with Forest Frenzy!" Lincoln called punching the air as his Golem punched the ground sending a huge tremor towards M.S.B. before giant roots shot out from under its.

"SSSSNNNNOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR! ! !" the Rhino-looking Dinosaur snorted/roared as it was snared by the roots before getting crushed and bursting into light particles.

*Tree Golem(Atk: 1900) vs. M.S.B.(Atk: 1820)

(Stephan's LP: 2260 – 80 = 2180)

"Next I'll end my turn with a facedown." Lincoln added ending his turn.

Drawing his next card, Stephan decided to go ahead and attack. "Frostosaurus, deep freeze that Tree with Glacier Crush and finish this Duel!" he said as his Ice Dino lifted itself up before bringing both of its front feet down.

"I activate my Trap, Shadow Spell!" Lincoln exclaimed activating one of his facedowns as shadowy chains shot out snaring Frostosaurus around its legs and neck bringing it down negating its attack.

Frostosaurus(Atk: 3380 – 700 = 2680)

"Not only does this Trap negates your Monster's attack, it also lower its attack points by 700 as well keeps it from changing position." Lincoln explained with a grin as he managed to hinder his Opponent's Monster.

"Impressive, but that won't hold my Dinosaur for long. I'll set a Monster in Def mode and end my turn." Stephan said before setting a Monster in Def mode as he was impressed that the Middle Loud child lasted this long.

"Okay, hope this is a Monster this time." Lincoln said to himself as he drew his next card before sighing as it was an Equip Card but sadly it couldn't be equipped to his Golem. "Tree Golem, attack his facedown Monster." He called as his Golem slammed its root fist against Stephan's facedown Monster revealing it to be a Bronze colored Tyrannosaur with glowing Yellow eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth as it roared before getting destroyed.

Tomozaurus(Def: 400 + 30% = 520)

"I end my turn." Lincoln said ending his turn.

"I set a Monster in Def mode and end my turn with a facedown." Stephan said setting another Monster followed by a facedown.

This went on for a couple of turns with Lincoln so far just drawing two more Equip Cards and his *Mammoth Beetle while Stephan set his next three Monsters in defense with them revealing to be his Drooling Lizard, Beaked Snake, and a Red colored Tyrannosaur(Little D) and Trek watched on wondering why the older Boy was staying on the defensive.

/ / /Pegasus's Castle/ / /

"My, my, Lincoln-boy, seems you are having a bit of trouble. However this time our Arenas are set on a timer and it seems times almost up." Pegasus said glancing towards the Clock before looking back towards the screens showing all the Duels recorded today as the Boat carrying the ones who lost all their Star Chips prepared for departure.

/ / /

Back at the Duel Arena Lincoln finally drew a Monster Card he could summon. "I summon *Forest Barbarian in Atk mode!" he exclaimed placing the card down as a very muscular Beast-Man with Dark-Green skin, a Deer/Wolf-like face with three-prong horns on his head and a mouth full of fangs, a thick mane of Brown hair with a patch on his chest, clawed hands and feet, and dressed with a Brown Loincloth with wooden braces around his forearms and shins wielding a spiked wooden club ready to attack as he gained the Field power bonus.

*Forest Barbarian: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Warrior
(Atk: 1700/Def: 1400 + 30% = Atk: 2210/Def: 1820)

"Next I'll equip my Barbarian with *Boulder Hammer giving him 1000 extra attack points to crush your Frostosaurus into ice cubes!" Lincoln exclaimed as his Barbarian's Club was replaced with the large stone War-hammer as his let out a battle snarl before charging towards the large chained up Dinosaur Monster with the Hammer reared back ready to smash.

"I activate my facedown Rush Recklessly to my Frostosaurus 700 extra attack points, which is just enough to counter attack your Barbarian." Stephan said activating his Quick-play Spell as his Monster glowed a bit as it eyes glowed very blight.

"ROOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW! ! !" Frostosaurus bellowed from the power boost before slamming its tail into the incoming Warrior type knocking him away as he burst into light particles.

*Forest Barbarian(Atk: 2210 + 1000 = 3210) vs. Frostosaurus(Atk:2680 + 700 = 3380)

(Lincoln's LP: 620 – 170 = 450)

"I-I-I end my turn…" Lincoln stuttered sweating as he was down to a very small chunk of Life Points as Frostosaurus attack power gone back down since it was still bound by his Shadow Spell Trap so at least that's good.

"My turn." Stephan said as he drew his next card and smiled. "I have to say, you lasted longer than I expected." He suddenly said getting the Loud Boy's attention.

"Is that good?" Lincoln asked with a confused expression as he was getting a bad feeling in his stomach.

"Yeah, but remember when I said about how your beginner's luck will run out?" the Hoodie wearing Boy asked getting the White hair boy to nod. "Well this is how, I play the Spell card Twister to destroy your chains releasing my Frostosaurs and returning him back to full strength. Sadly I have to pay 500 Life Points for using this but like my Dad used to say, 'Progress can't be done without a few obstacles in the way', and you Lincoln are my obstacle." He said as a huge Tornado formed around his Monster destroying the chains around it releasing it.

(Stephan's LP: 2180 – 500 = 1680)

"ROOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW! ! ! ! !" the ice encased Dino bellowed loudly as it was freed from its shackles as its attack points returned to full strength.

Frostosaurus(Atk: 2680 + 700 = 3380)

"I got to thank you for giving a challenge, but sadly this is the end. Frostosaurus, stomp his Golem with Glacier Crush!" Stephan called as his Monster lifted itself up before stomping down on Lincoln's Golem as the White hair boy was scared that he had lost before seeing the Trap he forgot that he set earlier.

"I activate my Trap card *Damage Dice!" Lincoln exclaimed as he revealed his facedown as the Middle Schooler's Dinosaur stomped down onto his *Tree Golem before two reverse colored dices launched upward. "When a Monster I control gets destroyed by a Monster with 2000 or more Attack points, then both of us each roll a Six-sided dice and these three outcomes could happen. 1) If the number I rolled is higher than the number you rolled, then you take the damage. 2) If the number I rolled is lower than the number you rolled, then I take the damage. 3) If we both rolled the same number, then we both take damage." Lincoln explained as he was hoping to get the first effect so everything comes down to this finally roll.

Frostosaurus(Atk: 3380) vs. *Tree Golem(Atk: 1900)

(Stephan's LP: 1680/Lincoln's LP: 450)

The dices soon fell down with Stephan's Dice(Black with White spots) landed on a '3' as Lincoln's Dice(White with Black spots) spin on the end before falling getting all three Boys to sweat wondering what it will land on only for the Holograms to suddenly disappear.

"Wait, what happened?" Trek asked out loud as the Arena powered down as Lincoln and Stephan are confused about what was going on.

"{Duel Arena W/S-05 Automatic-timer Activated, Duel had been declared a Draw, Powering down for night.}" the Arena said before powering off as both Boys walked off before it returned back underground.

"Guess Pegasus must have added timers to them?" Stephan said since this was defiantly a new feature.

"I'm just glad it ended in a draw since I was scared there for a moment." Lincoln said releasing the breath he was holding before looking towards the more experienced Boys. "Are all Duels this intense?" he asked as both of them nod getting him to slump onto his knees.

"I did say things were going to get harder as the Opponents will become tougher." Trek said remind his new friend from when he won his Duel against that Jerk earlier today.

"Plus be happy you survived since the first day of the Tournament is normally used to cut down the beginners." Stephan said patting the Middle child on the shoulder since he has some more experience with Tournaments than Trek does. "Plus it's not just knowing the different kind of Cards there are, it's also about how you play them." He added seeing that Lincoln isn't going to last long on his own so he might as well help seeing the White hair Boy actually gave him a challenge since most Beginners just go with powerful Monsters.

"This is going to be a long week~" Lincoln moaned falling onto his back think that he probably read all of his Effect Monsters Effects before entering a Duel showing that he still got some room for improvement.
