"Alright everyone after that match let's advance forward in the Fortune Cup like normal!" the MC declared before the four pictures shuffled showing Romin is first against Grieger, and Yusei is against Akiza, "And now let's begin the first of the semi-finals starting with Romin Kirishima against the towering giant Grieger!"
"Well miss Romin, I'm looking forward to our duel." Grieger smiled offering his hand.
Romin shakes it back with a smile, "That speech from the beginning was a well said one. But don't think that means, I'll go easy on you."
"I wouldn't expect you too." he smiled. "Ladies first?"
They both settle as the twins with Yusei, and Akiza stare on before Romin called, "Alright! Duel Guitar, set!" Her Duel Guitar exited it's Standby Phase, transforming into it's Duel Mode where Romin grinned letting out an electric solo.
Grieger activated his own Duel Disk.

(Romin: 3000/Hand: 2) "I take my top three cards, and send them to my graveyard. And if a Psychic is sent by this effect, I take a Psychic from the graveyard, and pop it in my hand!"

"Compliments won't make me go easy on you." he reminded her.
"I know." Romin looked up with a grin where everyone suddenly notices her eyes are now glowing red.
"What the?" Grieger questioned as Yusei's eyes widened in the waiting room.
'That... don't tell me Romin's a Signer.' he thought.

Romin wins!
"And with that Romin gave a spectacular performance while dueling, and earned her way to the finals!" the MC declared as everyone cheered loudly where Romin gave a short bow with a smile her eyes not red anymore.
"Wow." Leo whispered seeing that.
Romin looked to Grieger before smiling, "You were a great duelist, Grieger. Makes me wonder how strong you can be if you can Rush Duel."
"Maybe we'll find out one day." Grieger nodded. "For now though, you should watch the next duel. Yusei or Akiza will be your opponent."
Romin nodded as she headed back to where the twins, Yusei, and Akiza are.
"That was a really good duel." Yusei mentioned to her.
"A bit close, even if I get that mixed on something." Romin admitted with closed eyes, and a smile before opening them, "I wonder just how strong he can be if he can Rush Duel."
"Maybe you can teach us after this." Leo suggested with a small blush as Yusei and Akiza walked to the field where after an intense match Yusei managed to win.
"So I'm against him..." Romin trailed off seeing that, "After seeing that match, I should feel even a little intimidated. But strangely I'm not." She smiled to herself before saying, "I can't wait to see how this turns out."
That's when she noticed Sayer had walked up to Akiza before escorting her from the field and away from Yusei. Frowning at this she told the twins, "Do I have any time before the duel?"
"Huh, well I think..." Luna started.
"Alright Duel Fans, it comes down to one final match. Who will earn the right to challenge the Master of Faster himself in a one-on-one match?" the MC announced interrupting her. "Will it be the musical maiden Romin Kirishima, or the Satellite's rising star Yusei Fudo? Both duelists better rev up their engines and head to the starting line. The final duel is about to begin."
"Guess not." she admitted before pausing, "Wait, rev up their engines? What is he talking about?"
"A Turbo Duel." Leo answered before explaining it to her.
Romin looked shocked before suddenly looking sheepish, "Uh, I can't do this then... I don't exactly have stuff like those."
"Wait, then you need to forfeit?" Luna asked.
"Uh, maybe if I can talk with Sayer, and Akiza they can figure something out." Romin admitted before saying, "I just hope everyone can wait patiently for this."
"No-need to Romin."
She gasped hearing that, "That voice!"
Who was walking were three boys with one waving with a grin, one with his arms behind his back, and one with his arms crossed with a grin where she cried in shock, "Yuga? Gakuto? Luke?"
"Glad to see we can find ya here!" Yuga grinned to her, "And you managed to reach to the finals, that's the Romin we know!"
"At all honestly, I thought something dreadful happened but I can see your all right, I'm glad." Gakuto smiled with his eyes closed.
Luke looked around with a grin, "Well, this is certainly not the way, I expected of times back then. But whatever the case, it definitely reminds us of some lessons."
"Do you know them Romin?" Luna asked her.
Romin looked before saying, "Oh sorry..." She cleared her throat before introducing, "Boys, these two are friends I made here. Leo, and Luna. Their twin siblings." She then introduced to the two, "Leo, Luna, these are my friends back at home. This is our Student Council President, Gakuto Sogetsu." Gakuto gave a smiling nod to them with his arms crossed behind his back, "Then this is who's goal is to be the Duel King, and always a very strong duelist, Tatsuhisa Kamijo but we call him Luke." Luke only grinned giving off a peace sign, "And finally this is creator of Rush Dueling, Yuga Ohdo." Yuga grinned waving, "Hi!"
"It's nice to meet you." Luna smiled.
"We're glad to see you two took care of Romin." Luke grinned to them before asking, "So what's this about Turbo Dueling?"
Romin explained, "Turns out this final duel suppose to make me do a Turbo Duel..." She sighed before saying, "But I don't have a Duel Runner or Duel Board, or even have these Speed Spells."
Hearing that Yuga gave thought before grinning, "Not to worry Romin. I'll be able to make a Road perfectly suited for this in no time! Just give me a minute!"
"There's no time, the duel is starting now." Leo pointed out.
"Trust me, Yuga gets things done quick." Romin assured him.
Luna however blinked, "Road? What does he mean by Road?" As she asked that Yuga got to work.
"That's what he calls his inventions." Romin answered.
"Well, good luck." Yusei told her.
Leo blinked asking Yuga, "How did you do that so fast?"
Yuga grinned with a wink, and a thumbs-up, "An inventor never reveals his secrets."
"What about Speed Spells?" Luna asked. "She doesn't have any and even if she wants to pay life points she'll lose 2000 every time she plays a normal spell card."
"Well, that shouldn't be a problem. She doesn't have spells in her new Deck." Yuga answered with a grin, "From the way I see it, it is an advantage Romin has due to not using any Spells."
Leo frowned at that and just turned to the duel.
bopdog111: Is that really an advantage or is it a draw back?
Ulrich362: Hard to say.
bopdog111: Well thanks to Yuga being there, she's able to stay in the Fortune Cup. But does she have a chance against Yusei?
Ulrich362: Maybe? Yusei's a skilled duelist and it is her first Turbo Duel so... we'll have to wait and see. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
