bopdog111: Now let's Reks, and Leo's turn to see the fruits of their training.
Ulrich362: It won't be easy, but if they work together they might be able to pull it off.
bopdog111: But what can Nurzak do?
Ulrich362: Well if Stoica and Gill were any indication he'll be using a powerful Xyz Monster, but as for what it can do we'll have to wait and see. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's but we own the OCs!
The three readied themselves as Kazarina smirked, "Now Nurzak don't fall short unlike these two idiots."
"What I do is needed it's the skills that aren't lying." Nurzak stated to her, "They defeated Stoica, and Gill cause their strong it's simple."
Leo blinked hearing that. "Huh, you're defending us?"
"Why bother calling you weak when I know your not. Unlike the rest of my subordinates, I don't act like that. I respect my opponents cause of their skills, and abilities, and the fact that they also display quite a number of strategies." Nurzak answered.
Leo smiled. "Then it's only fair we return the favor, how do you want the duel to work?"
"After one of you has a turn it'll be mine, and then it shifts to the other, and so on." Nurzak answered, "And I'll still keep 4000 Life Points."
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Running Through The Storm by Scarlet White)
Reks & Leo: 4000
Nurzak: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Nurzak 1st Turn:
"As the opponent, I go first!" Nurzak called drawing looking over, "And to start things off, I Gilasaurus!"
A small Dinosaur appeared roaring.

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If Summoned this way: Activate this effect; your opponent can Special Summon 1 monster from their Graveyard.
"This card can by Special Summoned from my hand straight away then you two can summon a monster from the graveyard but since you don't it doesn't work." Nurzak told then, "Then, I sacrifice Gilasaurus to summon Super-Ancient Dinobeast!"
Gilasaurus vanished showing a huge Dinosaur that has silver skin roaring.

"Level eight already?" Akiza asked in shock.
"It can be summoned in attack mode by sacrificing a Dinosaur." Nurzak explained how he summoned it, "Then I activate the spell, Evolving Fossil!"
Evolving Fossil
Continuous Spell Card
Activate this card by paying 800 LP. Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Dinosaur monster in your GY: Special Summon it in Defense Position, but it cannot attack, also it is banished when it leaves the field. While this card is face-up all Attack Position Dinosaur monsters you control cannot leave the field except by battle.
"To use this card, I have to pay 800 Life Points." Nurzak explained. (Nurzak: 3200) "Then I summon Gilasaurus back from the graveyard!"
Gilasaurus rose up roaring.
"When a Dinosaur is summoned from the graveyard while Dinobeast is on the field, I can draw 1 card." Nurzak added drawing a card.
"His monsters are different levels, so he can't play an Xyz Monster this turn." Yusei noted.
"And now I activate the spell, Double Summon!" Nurzak called.
Double Summon
Normal Spell Card
You can conduct 2 Normal Summons/Sets this turn, not just 1.
"So now I can Normal Summon twice this turn. So I sacrifice Gilasaurus to summon Sauropod Brachion!" Nurzak called as another Dinosaur with a long neck appeared roaring.

If this card is Flip Summoned: Change all other monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. If this card is attacked, any battle damage your opponent takes from that battle is doubled.
"You were saying Yusei?" Jack frowned.
"And now I overlay both my Level 8 Dinosaurs!" Nurzak called as they entered the Overlay Network.
"Loyal Advisor of the Emperor! Gather wisdom from the palm of my hand, and be ready to conduct a strategy! Xyz Summon! Rank 8, Sabator!"
At that a huge minotaur like stone monster appeared with horns, and drills around his body appeared roaring.

If this card is in Attack Position, and your opponent's monster declares an attack that targets this card while it has exactly 1 Xyz Material: You can detach 1 Xyz Material; this card cannot be destroyed by that battle also change this card to Defense Position.
(ORU: 2)
Leo stared at the monster in shock before turning to Reks. "You mind letting me take the first shot at him?"
Reks looked before nodding, "Just be careful."
Nurzak sets a card ending his turn.
Leo 1st Turn:
Leo drew his card before nodding. "I'll summon Morphtronic Vaccumen in attack mode."
Morphtronic Vaccumen
Wind Type
Level 1
Machine
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
● While in Attack Position: Once per turn, you can send 1 card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
● While in Defense Position: Once per turn, you can equip 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls to this card. (You can only equip 1 monster at a time to this card by this effect.)
'If only it was in Defense...' Luna thought seeing the monster.
"Next up I'll equip my monster with Morphtronic Cord." Leo continued.
Morphtronic Cord
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a "Morphtronic" monster. Each time the equipped monster's battle position is changed, destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field.
"Then I'll use Gadget Driver's ability to switch Vaccumen into defense mode, and that triggers Morphtronic Cord's ability to destroy your facedown card."
The cord charged destroying Nurzak's face-down.
"Now I play Vaccumen's ability, when he's in defense mode he can equip himself with one of your monsters that's in attack mode." Leo grinned. "And your only monster is Sabator."
"Not when I activate Sabator's ability!" Nurzak called as as Sabator took an Overlay Unit in it's mouth, "It negates the effects of monsters on the field but it until the end of the turn! Tough Rock!"
Sabator glowed bright. (ORU: 2 - 1)
Leo frowned at that. "Sorry Reks, I thought I could do more."
"No it's okay at least we know what that monster can do... And it's an anti-Timelord card also." Reks admitted to him.
Leo nodded. "Well, I can set one card and end my turn."
Reks & Leo: 4000
Nurzak: 3200
Nurzak 2nd Turn:
"Now it's my turn again draw!" Nurzak called drawing looking, "I activate the spell card, Destroy Horn!"
Destroy Horn
Normal Spell Card
If you control 1 face-up "Sabator" that is in Attack Position: Monsters your opponents control lose 500 ATK/DEF, also if a "Sabator" you control attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent, also destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card in their hand. You can only activate 1 "Destroy Horn" per turn.
"So now your monsters lose 500 points but what I'm going for is that as I attack your monster in Defense Mode you lose 1000 points, and a Spell or Trap Card in your hand is destroyed!" Nurzak called as Sabator charged energy, "Brutecam Wilder!"
Sabator charged in as lightning was fired at Leo.
"Go Morphtransition!" Leo called.
Morphtransition
Normal Trap Card
Activate only when a face-up "Morphtronic" monster you control is selected as an attack target. Negate the attack, and change the battle position of the selected "Morphtronic" monster.
"It negates your attack and switches Vaccumen back into attack mode. Plus since Vaccumen's mode switched again my Morphtronic Cord can destroy your Evolving Fossil card."
The Cord fired a spark of lightning destroying Nurzak's spell as he revealed, "Should it stay on the field Dinosaurs that are in attack mode cannot leave the field except from being destroyed in battle."
"So now they can use effects to get rid of his dinosaurs, that'll help Reks." Akiza noted.
"Still he has to get pass that monster's ability of negating effects." Crow admitted to her.
Nurzak sets a card, "I end my turn."
Reks 1st Turn:
"Okay... Here goes something... I draw!" Reks called drawing looking.
"Oh wait, are Reks and I sharing a field too?" Leo asked suddenly.
"If you prefer to have separate fields go ahead." Nurzak answered patiently.
"What do you think Reks?" Leo asked him.
"Yeah... For a second there I thought we'd be sharing a field would be a total disadvantage over us." Reks admitted to him.
"Why say that you would win that way!?" Stoica asked Nurzak only to be intimidated by a glare from him.
"He is fighting us with all he has, and one of the worst ways to get defeated is without getting a chance to fight. I rather face my opponents fair, and square." Nurzak stated simply.
"...Yes sir." Stoica said a bit meekly.
"Why are you so different from the others?" Jack inquired.
"Resolving things with violence, and destruction are not what I do. I tend to go more of a pacifist route." Nurzak answered.
"And Dharak tolerated that?" Luna asked hearing that.
"That might've been due to Dharak's old self before the Silent Core corrupted him." Lightrei mentioned in her head, "I think that Dharak's real self battled the Silent Core to keep Nurzak."
Luna nodded. 'Then hopefully we can help him after this.'
"Alright... First I activate Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen!" Reks called as the spell appeared.
Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen
Continuous Spell Card
Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand. You must control no monsters to activate and to resolve this effect.
"So now once per turn if I don't control a monster, I can summon a Fairy!" Reks called before calling, "And speaking of that, I summon out Sandaion, the Timelord!"
Sandaion rose up with a grin.
Sandaion, the Timelord
Light Type
Level 10
Fairy
ATK: 4000
DEF: 4000
Cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck. You can only control 1 "Sandaion, the Timelord". If only your opponent controls a monster, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. Cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects. Neither player takes battle damage from attacks involving this card. At the end of the of the Battle Phase, if this card battled: Inflict 2000 damage to your opponent. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Shuffle this card into the Deck.
"What the...!?" Kazarina asked shocked as shocked looks spread across their enemies.
"This kid... He has the power of the Lords of the Universe!?" Gill asked majorly shocked.
"You guys look surprised." Crow smirked.
"And next up, I summon a face-down monster, and then Sandaion attack Sabator!" Reks called as Sandaion charged an attack firing at Sabator, "Our battle damage involving Sandaion becomes zero!"
Nurzak grunted called, "I activate the ability of Sabator! Force Rock!"
Sabator took it's last Unit roaring. (ORU: 1 - 0) The attack struck as Sabator roared being destroyed as Nurzak grunted. (Nurzak: 2200)
Leo grinned seeing that.
"Why would he waste that Overlay Unit, and take battle damage?" Dexter asked confused.
"I don't know, he took less damage but he lost his only monster." Patty admitted. "It doesn't make sense to do that."
"Sandaion's ability deals 2000 points of damage after it attacked at the end of the Battle Phase. By doing that he reduced the damage he would take." Yusei explained to them.
"Yeah, but now he doesn't have his monster." Dexter pointed out. "That means he can't use one of those Battle Gear cards anymore right?"
"True... Unless of course you someone like this. The trap card, Xyz Reborn!" Nurzak called revealing a face-down.
Xyz Reborn
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 Xyz Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, and if you do, attach this card to it as an Xyz Material.
"This revives Sabator with a Unit!" Nurzak called as his Xyz Monster rose up roaring. (ORU: 1)
"I hate to say it, but that was a smart move." Akiza frowned. "He protected his life points and had a way to bring back his monster."
"Which meant what my move done only scored damage." Reks said seeing this.
"Unlike my comrades I happen to rely more for brains then on brawn." Nurzak explained to them, "Being a strategist has it's perks."
"Maybe, but we aren't giving up yet." Leo grinned.
"I place one card down. That's it." Reks ended his turn.
Reks & Leo: 4000
Nurzak: 2200
Nurzak 3rd Turn:
"Then it's my turn again! Draw!" Nurzak called before saying, "I activate Battle Gear Boost!"
Battle Gear Boost
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 Xyz Monster you control: Equip 1 "Battle Gear" Equip Spell from your Deck to that monster who's name is listed in that card's text, and if you do, attach this card to that monster as an Xyz Material. You can only activate 1 "Battle Gear Boost" per turn.
"So now I give Sabator, Battle Gear - Chompixx!" Nurzak called as a machine having two mechanical blades appeared on Sabator's back.
Battle Gear - Chompixx
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to "Sabator". The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle while in Attack Position. Once per turn, while the equipped monster is in Attack Position: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field, destroy it, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent. If the equipped monster is changed to Defense Position: Negate the effects of the equipped monster, then take 2000 damage.
"While Chompixx is equipped, I can no longer be destroyed in battle!" Nurzak said as Sabator roared, "Then while in Attack Mode one Spell or Trap Card is destroyed each turn then you two take 500 points of damage."
"No Overlay Unit recovery ability like the other two?" Reks asked hearing that.
"Apparently not." Jack noted.
"Then Boost becomes an Overlay Unit." Nurzak said as it attached to Sabator (ORU: 1 - 2) "And now I activate Chompixx's effect! I destroy that Morphtroic Cord! Chamber Land Breaker!"
The two sickle blades at that raised up, and charged down at Leo's equip spell.
Leo winced at that.
(Leo/Reks: 3500)
"You alright?" Reks asked him.
"Yeah, I'm ok." Leo reassured him.
"And I'll end my turn with that." Nurzak stated to them.
"He didn't attack?" Airzel asked at that.
"Vaccuman is in Attack Mode yes but knowing these humans they have a Trap Card set to protect that monster, and blast down our offense." Nurzak explained to them.
Reks grunted staring at his face-down, 'He wasn't kidding... If he attacked then I would use my face-down Shift to force him to battle Sandaion, and it would give him another 1000 points of damage... He's real smart...'
Leo 2nd Turn:
Leo drew his card before pausing. "Sandaion's special ability activates shuffling him back into my deck."
Sandaion started to glow only for Nurzak to call, "Sabator's ability activates! Tough Rock!"
Sabator took a Unit roaring. (ORU: 2 - 1)
"Huh?" Reks looked confused.
"If I allow you to shuffle it back you would be able to summon another Timelord without a cost. True it would leave a big obstacle but it prevents you from summoning another Timelord." Nurzak explained to him.
Leo looked at his hand before his eyes widened. 'Wait, this is...' "I summon Morphtronic Scopen in attack mode."
Morphtronic Scopen
Light Type
Level 3
Machine/Tuner
ATK: 800
DEF: 1400
● While in Attack Position: Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 "Morphtronic" monster from your hand. Destroy it during the End Phase.
● While in Defense Position: While this card is in face-up Defense Position, it is Level 4.
"Now thanks to Scopen's ability I can summon Morphtronic Videon from my hand but it has to be destroyed during the end phase."
Morphtronic Videon
Light Type
Level 4
Machine
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000
● While in Attack Position: This card gains 800 ATK for each Equip Card equipped to it.
● While in Defense Position: This card gains 800 DEF for each Equip Card equipped to it.
"What's he doing?" Stoica asked seeing that.
"Level three Morphtronic Scopen tunes with my level four Morphtronic Videon!" Leo called as Scopen became three green rings and Videon turned into four stars.
(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)
"Docking strength with courage to protect the world's peace! Synchro Summon! Envoy of love and justice, Power Tool Dragon!"
Power Tool Dragon
Earth Type
Level 7
Machine/Synchro
ATK: 2300
DEF: 2500
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn: You can reveal 3 Equip Spell Cards from your Deck, then your opponent randomly adds 1 of them to your hand, and you shuffle the rest back into your Deck. If this card would be destroyed while equipped with an Equip Spell Card(s), you can send 1 of those cards to the Graveyard instead.
His mechanical Dragon appeared roaring.
"What is that? It felt like those other two dragons before." Airzel admitted.
"I play Power Tool Dragon's ability, I show you three equip spells in my deck and you can randomly add one of them to my hand." Leo explained. "So I'll pick Central Shield, Megamorph, and Double Tool C&D."
Nurzak looked over the three cards before pointing, "The right."
Leo nodded putting it in his hand before grinning. "That's just what I wanted, I activate Megamorph!"
Megamorph
Equip Spell Card
While your LP is lower than your opponent's, the equipped monster's ATK becomes double its original ATK. While your LP is higher, the equipped monster's ATK becomes half its original ATK.
Nurzak narrowed his eyes, "I'm gonna go out on my mustache, and guess your not using it on your dragon though."
"Nope, I'm playing it on Sabator." Leo answered.
The spell fastened on Sabator as Stoica asked, "Why would he put a spell of his own on Nurzak's field instead on his?"
"It's because of Megamorph's ability, if I have less life points than my opponent it doubles my monster's attack points." Leo explained. "But, since my life points are higher it would cut my monster's attack points in half."
Sabator roared as it's strength got stolen. (ATK: 3000 / 2 = 1500)
"Now I'll use this last card Limiter Removal!" Leo declared.
Limiter Removal
Quick-Play Spell Card
Double the ATK of all Machine monsters you currently control, until the end of this turn. During the End Phase of this turn, destroy those monsters.
Power Tool Dragon: (ATK: 2300 * 2 = 4600)
"Attack Sabator, Crafty Break!"
Power Tool Dragon charged in only for Nurzak to call, "I activate Sabator's other ability!"
"Huh?" Leo asked in shock.
"When it only has one Overlay Unit, I use that Unit to switch Sabator to Defense Mode!" Nurzak called as Sabator knelled, "Then it can't be destroyed by this attack! And since Sabator changed to Defense, Chompixx's other effect negates Sabator's abilities, and then I lose 2000 points!"
A bomb set up which made him grunt. (Nurzak: 0200)
Leo's eyes widened at that. "I... end my turn."
Power Tool Dragon shattered.
"Sorry Reks, I got ahead of myself."
"No it's alright." Reks smiled as Power Took Dragon was revived, "By using Future's Guide a trap from my hand when we attack, I get to revive a monster that was destroyed this turn.
Leo nodded at that before turning to Nurzak. "Your move."
Vaccuman vanished as Reks added, "Also it Tributes a monster who's level is 4 or lower."
Reks & Leo: 3500
Nurzak: 0200
Nurzak 4th Turn:
"My turn draw!" Despite weakened Nurzak drew looking, "I switch Sabator to attack mode!"
His Xyz stood up.
"And then I use Chompixx's ability to destroy Megamorph!" Nurzak called as Chompixx's blades charged down, "Chamber Land Breaker!"
Megamorph shattered.
(Leo/Reks: 3000)
Sabotor: (ATK: 1500 * 2 = 3000)
"And now, I activate the spell, Range Sonic!" Nurzak called using a spell.
Range Sonic
Normal Spell Card
While you control 1 "Sabator" in Attack Position: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent, also if it destroys an opponent's monster by battle this turn, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of that monster in the GY. You can only activate 1 "Range Sonic" per turn.
"So now you take 1000 points of damage!" Nurzak called as Sabator fired a blast.
(Leo/Reks: 2000)
"And when it destroys your monster in battle you both take damage equal to that monster's points." Nurzak added to them.
"What?" Gill questioned.
"I activate Shift!" Reks reveals his face-down.
Shift
Normal Trap Card
When your opponent targets exactly 1 monster you control (and no other cards) for an attack, or with a Spell/Trap effect: Target another monster you control that would be an appropriate target; that attack/Spell/Trap now targets the new target.
"That trap!" Luna cried.
"It allows me to change the target of an attack or an effect to a new monster!" Reks explained which makes Nurzak's eyes widen, "I pick Sandaion, the Timelord!"
Sabator suddenly did a U-Turn tackling Sandaion but it didn't effect the Timelord as it grinned.
"Then... they win." Dexter grinned.
"And at the end of the battle you take 2000 points of damage!" Reks called as Sandaion fired a light spear at Nurzak who looked on before closing his eyes as the attack hit.
Leo/Reks: 2000
Nurzak: 0000
Leo/Reks wins the duel!
"So that's it... Even my strategic mind is overcome..." Nurzak said to himself before smiling softly.
"Are you ok?" Leo asked him.
"Don't worry about the old man now." Kazarina smirked stepping in front of them, "Now it's my turn to set an example."
Akiza stepped forward. "I'll be your opponent."
"And not the other two?" Kazarina asked her.
"No, just me." Akiza answered.
"Alright. First you, and then those other two." Kazarina smirked.
"You won't be beating me." Akiza told her.
"DUEL!"
Ulrich362: Leo and Reks got lucky.
bopdog111: Nurzak is a tough guy, and is a good strategist.
Ulrich362: True, he is. Though now Akiza is going to take on Kazarina.
bopdog111: And Akiza recently got new support.
Ulrich362: True, well we'll have to see if it's enough. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
