"But wait! I'm not done! Now I banish X Head Cannon, Y Dragon Head, and Z Metal Tank in order to perform a Contact Fusion! These three monsters combine to form XYZ Dragon Cannon!"

"Since I can't wage an attack on the first turn, I end my turn, which triggers both of my Pendulum Spirits' Pendulum Effects! Since I was able to Pendulum Summon this turn, they both return to my hand!" Lincoln said, as he got back both his Sumo and Kendo Spirits.
Lincoln Loud: Hand: 2
"Alright, now it's time for me to make a move, and I draw!" Yusuke said, as he drew his card, "First, I choose to activate 3 Spell Cards. Two of them being 'Dark Contract with the Gate: These Continuous Spell Cards enable me to add one D/D to my hand per turn, then, I take 1000 Points of Damage at the start of my next turn, per Contract. The two Monsters I now add to my hand are D/D Cerberus and D/D Vice Typhon. Next is the Continuous Spell Card, Dark Contract with the Swamp King! This card deals me another 1000 Points of Damage at the start of my next turn, but it allows me to Fusion Summon a D/D/D Monster from my Extra Deck without the need for a Polymerization Card. I now fuse D/D Cerberus with D/D Vice Typhon in order to Fusion Summon D/D/D Flame High King Genghis!"

"I now activate D/D/D Flame High King Genghis' Special Ability! Since a D/D Monster was summoned while he was one the field, I can bring back a D/D Monster from my Graveyard once per turn, and I choose to bring back D/D Vice Typhon," Yusuke said.

"Now the time has come. Level 3 D/D Night Howl will Tune with Level 7 D/D Vice Typhon, in order to Synchro Summon Level 10 D/D/D Gust High King Alexander!" Yusuke said, as he two monsters combined to create a white, armored fiend with glowing green wings, and a wavy blade.

"Now then, onto the battle! First, Flame High King Genghis will slay your Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yusuke declared, as his monster went in to attack.
"I don't think so! I play the Action Spell 'Snow Decoy'! This Action Spell Card summons a Snow Token Monster! It stays on the field for one turn, but during that turn, you're not allowed to attack any other Monsters besides this one! If that weren't enough, the Token Monster can't be destroyed once per turn!" Lincoln said, as a snowman appeared, and took the hit for Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon.
"Hmm, clever. I end my turn," Yusuke commented.
Yusuke Hagiwara: Hand: 1
Back at the Juvenile Facility,
"Whoa, this guy is good!" Lola commented.
"The fact that he's risking 3000 LP just to summon those two powerhouse Monsters shows that he's not hesitant to take a hit," Lisa observed.
"But Lincoln might have a strategy up his sleeve to win, even against those Monsters," Luan commented.
"All we can do now is wait and see," Lori replied.
At the Royal Woods Mental Institute,
"This guy may prove to be too much for Lincoln," Lucy commented.
"Well, you never know. Lincoln could pull off a comeback," Leni replied.
At the Royal Woods Boot Camp,
"Now it's Lincoln's turn. Let's hope he can pull something off," Luna commented.
"Maybe if he summons that Five Headed Dragon he used in our Duel?" Lana suggested.
"True, but he needs 5 Dragon-Type Monsters to pull it off, from what he told me," Rhonda replied.
Back at the Royal Woods Duel Dome,
"It's my move, and I draw!" Lincoln said, drawing his card, "Once again, I'll set the Pendulum Scale with Yoko-Zuna Sumo Spirit and Kai-Den Kendo Spirit!" Lincoln said, as he placed both Pendulum cards back on the field, "Next, I play Card of Sanctity! Now both of us must draw until we're both holding six cards!" Lincoln declared, as he and Yusuke drew their cards.
Lincoln Loud: Hand: 6
Yusuke Hagiwara: Hand: 6
"Alright, now I can Pendulum Summon 3 Monsters! Emerge, Dark Magician, Red Eyes Black Dragon, and Junk Synchron!" Lincoln said, sending out the three aforementioned Monsters, "Ok, first up, I Overlay Level 7 Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Dark Magician in order to build the Overlay Network, and XYZ Summon Rank 7, Dark Anthelion Dragon!" Lincoln declared, as both Monsters were sucked into the Overlay Network. A Dark Dragon with jeweled orbs on it's body, much like Odd Eye Pendulum Dragon had emerged from the Overlay Network.

Attack / Defense: 3000 / 2500
"Next up, Level 3 Junk Synchron will Tune with Level 7 Red Eyes Black Dragon! I Synchro Summon Level 10, Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon!" Lincoln said, as his two aforementioned Monsters merged to create a serpentine dragon that also looked like a demon, and had a face on it's chest.

"Now I'll proceed to Battle! First up, I activate Dark Anthelion Dragon's Ability! By using one Overlay Unit, my Dragon can cut the Attack Points of one of your Monsters in half, then gain that same amount until the end of this turn, and I choose to halve Gust High King Alexander's Attack Power!" Lincoln declared, as his Dragon absorbed one of it's Overlay Units, and siphoned off Alexander's Attack Power.
D/D/D Gust High King Alexander
Attack: 3000 / 2 = 1500
Dark Anthelion Dragon
Attack: 3000 + 1500 = 4500
"Now then, I'll attack the weakened Alexander with Dark Anthelion Dragon!" Lincoln declared.
"Don't think so! I activate the Action Spell, Evasion, to help my Gust High King avoid being destroyed," Yusuke said, quickly playing an Action Spell, which allowed Alexander to get out of the way.
"Tsk. Alright then, then I'll have Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon attack D/D Cerberus!" Lincoln declared.
"Again, not happening! I activate the same Action Spell you played! Snow Decoy now diverts your Dragon's Attack to the Snow Token! And since your Dragon didn't destroy it, it can't make a second attack! All that's left if XYZ Dragon Cannon, but even it's special Ability is powerless against the Snow Token," Yusuke stated, as he tapped something on his Duel Disk.
"Very well. I end my turn with two face downs, and both my Spirit Cards return to my hand! Both of our Monsters return to their original Attack Point Value" Lincoln said, as both his Pendulum Spirits returned to his hand.
Dark Anthelion Dragon
Attack: 4500 → 3000
D/D/D Gust High King Alexander
Attack: 1500 → 3000
Lincoln Loud: Hand: 3
"But at least with your contracts, you'll be spotting me 3000 Points of Damage," Lincoln pointed out.
"Contracts? What Contracts?" Yusuke asked, as all three of his Contracts were destroyed.
"Huh?! Wait, did you play what I think you did?!" Lincoln questioned.
"Indeed. The Trap Card 'Contract Laundering'. It negates the effects of all Contract Cards and destroys them. Then, not only do I get to draw the same amount of cards as I destroyed, but I also receive 1000 LP for each one," Yusuke stated, as he drew four cards.
Yusuke Hagiwara: LP: 11, 000 Hand: 10
"Ok, that snowballed rather quickly," Lincoln commented.
"Now then, I Summon D/D Lilith, in Attack Mode!" Yusuke said, summoning what appeared to be some kind of plant type creature.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate only one of these Effects per turn.

"Now I activate D/D/D Flame High King Genghis' Ability! Since I was able to Summon a D/D Monster, I can Special Summon one D/D Monster from my Graveyard! And I choose to bring back D/D Vice Typhon!" Yusuke said, as Genghis brought back Vice Typhon, "Now then, I Overlay Level 4 D/D Cerberus and D/D Lilith in order to build the Overlay Network! I XYZ Summon D/D/D Wave King Caesar!" Yusuke said, as he brought out a dark armored monster wielding a massive sword.

2 Level 4 Fiend-Type monsters
During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; at the end of the Battle Phase, Special Summon from your Graveyard as many monsters destroyed this turn as possible, but during the next Standby Phase, take 1000 damage for each monster Special Summoned by this effect.

Attack / Defense: 2400 / 1200
"Though I wouldn't get to comfortable with him, because now, I activate the Spell Card 'Rank Up Magic Astral Force'! It allows me to use the XYZ Monster I have with the highest Rank as XYZ Material, then I can summon an XYZ Monster from my Extra Deck that's 2 Ranks Higher! And I only have one XYZ Monster, so I Overlay D/D/D Wave King Caesar with his two Overlay Units to build the Overlay Network, and XYZ Summon Rank 6 D/D/D Wave High King Caesar!" Yusuke said, as he brought out a Monster that looked like Caesar, but was wielding a massive club instead of a sword.
D/D/D Wave High King Caesar

Attack / Defense: 2800 / 1800
"Next up, Alexander now activates his Special Ability. Since I control at least 3 D/D/D Monsters, Alexander's Attack Point Value increases by 3000," Yusuke said.
D/D/D Gust High King Alexander
Attack: 3000 + 3000 = 6000
"Now, the time for Battle has come! First, I attack Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon with D/D/D High Gust King Alexander!" Yusuke said.
"Not so fast! I activate the Action Spell 'Mirror Ice'! This card Special Summons one Mirror Ice Token Monster to take the hit! Any battle damage that would've been dealt to me is reversed onto you!" Lincoln said, as a creature made of a reflective ice appeared, ready to take Alexander's attack.
"Not so fast! I activate Wave High King Caesar's Special Ability! By using one Overlay Unit, I can negate the activation of and destroy any Spell Cards that Special Summons Monsters, including Token Monsters. Then if I do this, I can choose one monster on my field; That Monster gains 1800 Attack Points until the End of this Turn, and that Monster will be Flame High King Genghis!" Yusuke said, as Lincoln's Action Spell was destroyed, along with the Mirror Ice Token, and Alexander grew even stronger, and continued it's attack on Lincoln's Dragon.
D/D/D Flame High King Genghis
Attack: 2800 + 1800 = 4600
Lincoln LP: 8000 – 2000 = 6000 LP Remaining
"You forget about my Nethersoul Dragon's Ability to keep from Destroyed in Battle!" Lincoln said.
"Maybe so, but Genghis can still wage an Attack on Dark Anthelion Dragon!" Yusuke said, as Genghis went to slay Lincoln's XYZ Dragon, when...
"I activate Dark Anthelion Dragon's Ability! By using it's last Overlay Unit, the Attack Points of Genghis are reduced by half, while my Dragon gains those Attack Points!" Lincoln said, as he quickly used his Dragons Effect, siphoning off Genghis' Attack Strength, resulting in the Flame High King's destruction.
D/D/D Flame High King Genghis
Attack: 4600 / 2 = 2300
Dark Anthelion Dragon
Attack: 3000 + 2300 = 5300
Yusuke LP: 11, 000 – 3000 = 8000 LP Remaining
"Clever, but for now, I end my turn with four face downs" Yusuke said.
Yusuke: Hand: 5
Dark Anthelion Dragon
Attack: 5300 → 3000
D/D/D High Gust King Alexander
Attack: 6000 → 3000
"Alright, time for a comeback!" Lincoln said, drawing a card, "First up, I'm activating XYZ Dragon Cannon's Special Ability! By discarding one card from my hand, I can Destroy one Card to the Graveyard, I can destroy one card on your side of the field!" Lincoln said, as he discarded one card, and his tank took aim at one of Yusuke's Face-downs, and blasted it off the field.
"Now onto the battle! First up, Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon will attack D/D/D Gust High King Alexander!" Lincoln said, as his Dragon blasted away Alexander.
Yusuke: LP: 8000 – 1000 = 7000
"And my Dragon's Ability allows it to make a second attack upon destroying one of your Monsters!"Lincoln said, as his Dragon then destroyed Caesar.
Yusuke: LP: 7000 – 1200 = 5800 LP Remaining
"And now, Dark Anthelion Dragon will now attack D/D Vice Typhon!" Lincoln proclaimed, as his dark dragon prepared it's attack.
"Not so fast! I activate the Spell Card 'The Dark Door'! Now neither of us is allowed to attack with more than one Monster per turn!" Yusuke said, activating one of his Face-downs.
"Good move, but not good enough! You forgot about XYZ Dragon Cannon's Ability! All I have to do is discard one card from my hand so that I can destroy The Dark Door!" Lincoln said, preparing to discard one of his cards.
"Not quite! I also have the Trap Card 'Fiendish Chain'! This Trap Card prevents your Cannon from activating it's ability!" Yusuke said, activating his Trap Card, which wrapped around Lincoln's Dragon Cannon, stopping it from using it's effect.
"Very well, I end my turn with a Face Down," Lincoln said, setting one card face-down.
Lincoln Loud: Hand: 2
"And now, I shall make my move. I draw!" Yusuke said, "First up, I'm going to activate the Spell 'Card of Demise'! As you know, this allows me to draw five new cards from my Deck, but if I am unable to use them all in five turns, then I must discard my entire hand!" Yusuke said, drawing his five cards.
Yusuke Hagiwara: Hand: 10
"Next, I'm going to set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 D/D Savant Copernicus and Scale 10 D/D Savant Newton! Time for me to up my game!" Yusuke said, as he set his Pendulum Scale with two, mechanical monsters in his Pendulum Zones. One of them looked to have a a sun in it's center, while the other had a set of five orbs, swinging back and forth, "I am now able to Summon D/D Monsters that are Levels 2 through 9, all at once! And here's my three monsters!" Yusuke said, as he Pendulum Summoned three powerful looking Monsters. Two of them appeared to be some kind of Demons, sitting on a throne, while the other one looked like some kind of crystalline creature, "Presenting a duo of D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok and D/D/D Doom King Armageddon!" Yusuke said.

"Now then, I activate the Effect of one of my Oblivion King Ragnaroks. I Tribute my D/D Vice Typhon, then I can banish one monster you control. And the Monster I choose to get rid of is Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon!" Yusuke said, as Vice Tyhpon was sacrificed, in order to activate the effects of one of his Ragnarok Monsters, which then removed Lincoln's Synchro Dragon from the field.
"That's not good!" Lincoln commented.
"And it's going to get even worse, because now I activate the effect of both of my Oblivion Kings! Since they were Summoned successfully, I can Special Summon one D/D/D Monster from my Graveyard per king. And the two Monsters I'm choosing to bring back are D/D/D Gust High King Alexander and D/D/D Flame High King Genghis!" Yusuke declared, as both aforementioned Monsters were summoned back to the field, "But wait! There's more! First up, I activate two Continuous Spell Cards! First is Dark Contract with the Entities! At the price of being dealt 2000 Points of Damage at the start of my next turn, I can activate an effect, depending on which type of Monster I summon forom the Extra Deck. Next, I activate the Spell Card 'Forbidden Dark Contract with the Swamp King'! Once per turn, I can Special Summon one D/D/D Monster from my hand in Defense Mode, but it's effects are negated. Then, I can perform a Fusion Summon of a D/D/D Monster using whatever Monster I summon this way, as well as Monsters on either my Hand or Field. But for now, I overlay Level 8 D/D/D Doom King Armageddon with one of my D/D/D Oblivion King Ragnaroks in order build the Overlay Network and XYZ Summon Rank 8 D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon!" Yusuke said, as he was able to summon an even more fearsome Monster that looked to have some kind of golden ring around it's body, with two orbiting lights.

"Dark Contract with the Entities now Activates! Since I was able to Summon an XYZ Monster, I can now Banish one card from either the Field or from the Graveyard. And I choose to Banish XYZ Dragon Cannon!" Yusuke said, as Lincoln's Dragon Cannon was banished.
"Next, I use the Effect of Forbidden Dark Contract with the Swamp King to summon a second /D/D/D Doom King Armageddon in Defense Mode! Now, I fuse Armageddon with Ragnarok to Fusion Summon D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon!" Yusuke said, summoning another, really fearsome looking Monster that had the body of his Doom King, but had demon wings, and a large snake like growth.

"Since I performed a Fusion Summon, I gain 1000 LP," Yusuke said.

"Now I actiave the Effects of both D/D/D Gust High King Alexander and Flame High King Genghis! I now Special Summon D/D/D Doom King Armageddon! I also Normal Summon the Tuner Monster D/D Ghost from my Hand," Yusuke said, as his Doom King Armageddon reappeared, along side a big yellow crystal.

"Now, Level 2 D/D Ghost will Tune with Level 8 D/D/D Doom King Armageddon! I Synchro Summon Level 10 D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon!" Yusuke said, as his two Monsters combined to form a bright, white Monster with two detached arms.

"Alexander activates his Ability once again! Since another D/D/D Monster was summoned, I can Special Summon D/D/D Doom King Armageddon from my Graveyard!" Yusuke said, as Alexander brought back his Doom King, "And don't forget, since there are at least 3 D/D/D Monsters, Alexander's Attack points increase by 3000."
D/D/D Gust High King Alexander
Attack: 3000 → 6000
"And Dark Contract With the Entities Effect for Synchro Monsters now activates! Bright Armageddon cannot be targeted with Card Effects!" Yusuke said.
At the Juvenile Facility,
"Those Monsters are all way strong!" Lola commented.
"Yeah, how's Lincoln going to be able to beat those things? They're all strong enough to take down his last Monster, leaving Lincoln open to a direct attack!" Luan added.
"Don't be so sure, sisters. Remember, Yusuke has that Dark Door Spell Card in effect, which prevents BOTH of them from attacking with more than one monster," Lisa stated.
"I had no idea that Duel Monsters could be THIS intense!" Lori commented.
At the Royal Woods Boot Camp,
"But I have a feeling that Yusuke will take out his own Spell Card, just to wage an onslaught on Lincoln," Lana commented, sounding uneasy.
"Things may look bad now, Lana, but have faith in your brother. He was able to pull off that victory against the eight of you, and that was taking into account how much damage he took from Night Hawk," Rhonda pointed out.
"True, but Yusuke looks like he's just been toying with Lincoln all this time," Luna replied.
At the Royal Woods Mental Institute,
"Do you think Lincoln can win?" Leni asked.
"I honestly haven't a clue if he can, but he may pull off some kind of a big comeback," Lucy replied.
At the Royal Woods Duel Dome, in the Stands,
Ross, Randy, and Rachel were all sitting in the audience, along with Lily, watching their nephew take on the Number One Duelist in the world, and grew concerned about the situation he was in, "C'MON LINK! You can do this!" Randy called out.
"You're a brilliant strategist, Lincoln! I'm sure you can pull through!" Rachel called out.
"We're with you all the way!" Ross called out.
"Glad to hear that, but things aren't looking too promising," Lincoln said, as he stared up at Yusuke's five D/D/D Kings, then back to his own Monster, "Without any Overlay Units, Dark Anthelion Dragon is just a sitting duck! Thankfully, I have this face-down! Go, Overlay Regen! This Spell Card attaches itself to one XYZ Monster on my side of the field as an Overlay Unit, giving Dark Anthelion Dragon one more Overlay Unit!" Lincoln declared, 'And gives me one last chance to pull off a serious blow to Yusuke's LP,' he thought.
"I now play the Spell Card Temple of the Kings! This allows me to use a Trap Card in the same turn I set it! So I set one card face down, then activate it! Raigeki Break! This Trap Card allows me to destroy one card on the field, so long as I discard one card from my hand! I now use Raigeki Break to destroy my Dark Door!" Yusuke said, as his trap card destroyed his own Spell Card.
"Uh oh, this really isn't good!" Lincoln commented.
"You're right! And now, I attack with D/D/D Gust High King Alexander!" Yusuke said, as his King went in to attack.
"I activate Dark Anthelion Dragon's Ability! By using one Overlay Unit, my Dragon reduces Alexander's Attack Points by half, then my Dragon gains those Attack Points!" Lincoln said, as he used his Dragon's Ability once more.
D/D/D Gust High King Alexander
Attack: 6000 / 2 = 3000
Dark Anthelion Dragon
Attack: 3000 + 3000 = 6000
Upon making contact with Lincoln's Dragon, Alexander was destroyed.
Yusuke Hagiwara: LP: 6800 – 3000 = 3800 LP Remaining
"I now activate D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon's Special Ability! I use one of it's Overlay units, then, for every Pendulum Monster I have out on the field, I can destroy one card on your side of the field! I have four Pendulum Monsters, but you only have three cards on the Field, so now I destroy all of them!" Yusuke said, as his Monster obliterated all the Cards on Lincoln's field.
"No... it's all over!" Lincoln lamented.
"You're right, because now I attack with D/D/D Super Doom Kings Dark and Purple Armageddon!" Yusuke said, as his Monsters waged their furious onslaught on Lincoln.
Lincoln Loud: 6000 – 7000 → 0 LP Remaining
Winner: Yusuke Hagiwara
"It's all over! Despite his best efforts, Lincoln has been defeated by the Number One Duelist in the World, Yusuke Hagiwara!" the announcer bellowed.
"Good game, Yusuke," Lincoln congratulated the older boy, as he got up.
"Thanks. Glad to see you're not sore about the loss," Yusuke said.
"Yeah, I am bummed that I lost, but I have inspiration to always be a good sport, even in defeat," Lincoln replied.
"Oh yeah?" Yusuke asked, as they walked back.
"Yeah. One of my sisters got the rest of my family in trouble with the law a few months ago, all because of some stupid softball game she lost. She blamed me for it, stating that I was 'bad luck'. I won't go into any more details," Lincoln said, as they sat back down among their fellow Top Duelists.
"That was a most entertaining match, Lincoln, Yusuke," Hadji commented.
"That was probably the closest Duel I've ever seen," Mei-Mei commented.
"The next match-ups are going to be announced," Julie commented, looking at the Jumbo-Tron.
At the Juvenile Facility,
"Man, tough break for Lincoln," Luan commented.
"True, but he did the mature thing... Congratulating his opponent for his win, and getting back up," Alistor replied.
"Wish Lynn could learn something from this," Lola grumbled.
"I know, which is why I'm going to recommend to your Aunts and Uncles that she get hypnotic therapy to find the root of her obsession with winning," Lila replied. A ruckus was heard from outside, and Lynn burst back into the office.
"Finally back! Has Stinkcoln gone already?" she asked impatiently.
"Yeah, he just went up against that Yusuke guy?" Luan replied, sounding rather irritated by Lynn's rude behavior.
"And I trust that Stinkcoln had the common sense and decency to win?" Lynn asked.
"He did his best, but Yusuke proved why he's the Number One Duelist in the World,"Alistor replied, pressing a button on his desk. Lynn took a moment to process what she had just heard, and became severely outraged.
"STINKCOLN LOST?!" she screamed loud enough for the entire prison to hear.
"Indeed, he did. But unlike you, he showed good sportsmanship, and chose not to make excuses and blame someone else for his failure," Lila replied.
"I can't believe this! Stinkcoln beat ME, then he had the gall to go loose to some nobody?! I'm going to break him in two when we get out of here!" Lynn screamed, just as a team of Special Forces Guards stormed into the Office, and restrained her, "LET ME GO!" Lynn tried to wrestle her way out, but the guards proved to be much stronger than she was. They quickly put her into a straight jacket, and put her onto a trolley.
"Lynn Loud Jr., we have had it with your out of control pride! In fact, we're so sick of it, we're going to recommend that your guardians sign you up for shock therapy!" Alistor said.
"BITE ME!" Lynn spat.
"I would keep you here much longer, specifically, but we're only allowed to have you as an inmate for 3 months, and your time here is almost up, so I suggest you stat cooperating with us for once, and behave!" Alistor yelled.
"Get her out of here, and put her into solitary confinement!" Lila ordered the guards, who wheeled Lynn out of the office.
"Shall we head back to our cells?" Lisa asked.
"Yes. I have some more guards coming to escort you girls there, personally,"Alistor replied, as four more guards came in, and took the remaining four Loud Sisters out of the office, "I swear, it's like their parents were only trying to instill a sense of victory into Lynn, and not good sportsmanship," he said, popping a piece of peppermint into his mouth.
"I know, sweetie, but now that all 11 of them are out of their parent's custody, they'll receive much needed discipline," Lila replied.
In the Solitary Confinement Wing,
Lynn was still struggling to get out of the straight jacket, but it was fastened too tightly for her to move freely, "We should've done this from the start! Maybe spending some time alone will teach you the difference between behavior that's acceptable and what's not!" the guard said, as they undid the straight jacket, and shoved the disgraced athlete into the cell. Lynn was quick to get up, and lunged at the guards, only for them to slam the door shut, causing her to slam face first into the door.
"GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAH! This is so unfair! Here I was, the greatest athlete in Royal Woods, destined for greatness, all for that stinkin' jinx of a brother of mine to ruin everything! I'm not the one who's in the wrong! Stinkcoln is! He knew that Dad hates Duel Monsters! If he had just followed the rules and had no interest in that forbidden game, none of this would've happened!" Lynn screamed. But since the cell was soundproofed from the outside, no one could hear her tantrum. Then, she thought of something; the word "forbidden", "Wait, what did the others say about a Forbidden Deck?" she asked herself.
Flashback, one month ago, 1 ½ months into the sentence,
The Loud Sisters were exercising along with several other inmates. Lynn was exercising the most furiously, thinking about how to get revenge on Lincoln for putting her in the Facility. She had been slamming weights so much, that the guards had to put her in restraints. "Let that be a lesson in respecting the property of others!" the guard said, unsympathetically, as they shackled Lynn to the wall.
"Ugh! This is ridiculous! We don't belong here!" Lynn groaned.
"We wouldn't be here if you had just accepted your loss like a proper winner, instead of using our brother as a scapegoat," Lisa countered.
"That good for nothing geeky looser should've kept quiet! This was a family issue! We never even broke any REAL laws!" Lynn yelled.
"Knock off with the noise, Loud!" one of the guards said, spraying her with a hose.
"What makes you so certain that locking Lincoln out wasn't really a crime?" Luan asked.
"Because it wasn't a crime! Stinkcoln is a jinx! He doesn't even deserve to be treated as a person! He's even less than a cockroach!" Lynn spat.
"Such vulgar behavior certainly does warrant police intervention. Unlike our brother, our actions were forbidden by law. It would've been a matter of time before our actions caught up with us," Lisa stated.
"Right. Clyde and the rest of Lincoln's friends would've come asking questions about where he was, and get suspicious if we gave them half answers," Lori replied.
"And if they did get suspicious, they would've searched around Royal Woods for Lincoln, and when they found him, they would've gotten the police involved," Luan added.
"Like I said before, this was a family matter! How we treat each other is of no concern to anyone else!" Lynn proclaimed.
"Speaking of forbidden stuff, what do you girls think that 'Forbidden Deck' Lincoln talked about with Night Hawk was about?" Lola asked.
"Don't tell me you actually believe that load of crap!" Lynn exclaimed.
"The face that Night Hawk lost his own soul upon being defeated shows that he was willing to go to great lengths to get what he wanted, so it's plausible that there is a Forbidden Deck somewhere in Royal Woods," Lisa countered.
"I'll tell you exactly what makes a deck forbidden! Any deck that has Spell and Trap Cards! It's called 'Duel Monsters', not 'Duel Monsters with Spells and Traps'!" Lynn said.
"Loud, that was your last warning! It's back to your cell!" the guard said, as Lynn was taken back to her cell.
Real Time,
"Hmm, maybe if the Forbidden Deck does exist, maybe it has enough power to wipe out Stinkcoln and avenge my loss, not only to that looser, but for that softball game he ruined!" Lynn cackled, as she began to devise a plan.
