And on this „anniversary", Skylar from LinariteLavania's Infinitas, Yukio from Dvdryms Fifth Factor, Nico Bessho one of my old Danganronpa OCs vs Starve Venom, Clear Wing and Dark Rebellion, in Arc—V Era Master Duels and at a starting LP of 8000!
Since this didn't really get released on the 6th anniversary, check in the ending authors note for more info.
POV 1 Nico Bessho
Am I dead? I remember... a space station? No that makes no sense, but I have the feeling that whatever follows next won't be a sensible course of events either.
"So you are the spirits of the other dimensional dragons.", someone else says, proving my assumption right.
I see three different-looking dragonic creatures and a spiky-haired young boy with a duel disk.
"You wouldn't happen to know why I'm here?", I ask.
"...No.", he answers, „Who are you?"
"To introduce myself, I am Nico Bessho, Hope's Peak Academy's Ultimate Guesser, but I have no guesses, educated or otherwise as to how I could have landed in this area."
"I am Yukio Tachibana and sadly am not affiliated with that Academy. But I have a guess as to why I am here.", he introduces himself, „Or, I should say, I know why I am here."
"And that is? It's definetly going to involve something blatantly supernatural, you don't need intuition on my level to get that.", I say.
"Yeah, you could say that. The short answer is: 1. There is a multiverse 2. Some of them are based on 4 separate mechanics of the game duel monsters. 3. Because someone made really good and touchable holograms there was an interdimensional war. 4. This is a weird training simulation and another duelist should be arriving soon."
Speaking of the devil, a girl with less spiky hair appears.
"Seems there's been a bug in the transporter, so we have a stowaway.", the black dragon says.
"Oh, can we bring her back somehow?", the girl says.
"You probably can, but I assume the transporting device will only bring me back after I participate in one of your duels.", I say.
"How do you know?", the girl asks.
"She apparently is the Ultimate Guesser of Hope's Peak Academy.", Yukio explains.
"Then can you guess my name?", the girl wonders out loud.
"Skylar. And you have the codename Scarlett. Should I predict your last name, too?", I ask.
"No need.", Skylar says, "Anyway, those dragons have the same name as the duel monster card they are based on, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon is the black one, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is the white one and Starve Venom Fusion Dragon is the purple one."
"Nice to meet you!", Clear Wing Synchro Dragon says.
"We should go straight to the point.", I say.
"It won't be perfectly staight to the point.", Dark Rebellion interrupts, "Do you know what a sequential duel is? Or even what dueling is?"
"Yes, no guessing required, since we do have Yugi Muto, the Ultimate Duelist as member of Hope's Peak.", I answer, "I also have a deck and my duel disk with me. How convenient."
"Then what order should we use?", Yukio asks.
"I will go first.", I decide, "And for the enemy team, let's choose the dragon that didn't say a word so far."
"Alright!", the purple dragon says, pumping his fists, "I like people that don't waste time and go straight for the brawl, let's duel!"
Nico Bessho (8000lp) vs Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (8000lp)
"You know, you may be good at guessing, but how can you adjust to a situation like this so easily? Since you did not in fact have a guess as to how you ended up here.", Yukio wonders.
"I think my last memory is a different kind of weird.", I say, "I remember being on a space station and a weird teddy bear commanded us to play a deadly game. And there was a Wizard girl, but I don't remember whether she could use actual magic or just really good tricks."
"Okay, yeah, that's a different weird alright.", Skylar says.
"I start my turn by summoning Gishki Diviner. (ATK: 1000) I use it's effect, calling Miracle Draw as the top card of my deck. I got correctly, so it is added to my hand. I set three cards and end my turn."
"Of course you'd play a Convulsion of Nature deck without actually requiring Convulsion to function.", Yukio comments.
"I start. I summon the level 5 Starve Venom Pig without a tribute, but if I do so it moves to your field at the End Phase.", Starve Venom starts.
"But since it gains an additional effect from having your name and can straight up summon itself to the enemy's field, then the card representing you probably can steal the effect of enemy monsters.", I say, "And you next words will be: 'that wasn't that hard to figure out!' in an idignant tone."
"That wasn't that hard to figure out!", Starve Venom says in an indignant tone, "What the-?"
"Oh great, jojo references from another world.", Yukio mutters.
"I hope that won't turn into a light novel title.", Skylar adds.
"Anyways, I activate Venomous Glare, granting my name to the piggy. Pig's advanced effect allows me to once per turn imitate Pot of Greed. As you said, my Starve Venom monsters can also straight-up special summon themselves to the enemy field! I give you Starve Venom Rat!"
"So your monsters from the Chinese Zodiac?", I guess.
"I'm not gonna confirm that yet. I activate Super Polymerization! I discard Starve Venom Dog to fuse both of the monsters on the field into Starve Venom Zodiac! (ATK: ?)"
...
"You know, usually you use the words 'not' and 'yet', when there is much more than a few seconds left until you do the thing.", Clear Wing mutters.
"Oh, but Zodiac could mean a number of things! I now use it's effect revealing me from the Extra Deck to take my name and the 2800 ATK! And since it was summoned with 2 materials, I shuffle Pig and Rat from my GY into my deck to grant their effects to Venom."
But since he likes to deny the obvious, I won't comment further.
"I can basically use Pot of Greed a second time and also gain LP equal to my ATK! (SV LP: 8000-10800) Then I activate Venomous Horoscope to search a Starve Venom monsters from the Ying and the Yang half of the chinese zodiac!"
"You won't gain any of that, because I activate my face-down Magic Drain!"
"Oh, do you have something with a crazy effect when discarded?", Starve Venom wonders.
"That one is Magic Jammer. Magic Drain either let's the enemy have their spell's effect negated, or they can discard a spell instead.", I explain.
"Oh, in that case, you get a one-for-one negation. I then use Polymerization to fuse Zodiac with the Battle Fader in my hand to summon Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon. Since Zodiac was summoned with 2 materials, I can replace up to 2 materials, meaning I can use a monster that might be DARK, but not level 8 or lower, like a regular Predaplant, which I would be required to use otherwise."
"Are you sure you need to deal 3300 damage now?", Yukio wonders, but then looks closer at Zodiac's effect description, "Oh wait, I'm the dumb one, the stolen ATK go away at the end of the turn, yeah, you definetly needed to use the Zodiac as material. And since Gishki Diviner is only level 3, the regular Starve Venom could not steal it's effect, even if there was another way to give him Pig's effect."
"Indeed. I negate Gishki Diviner's effect with that of Greedy me and drop his ATK to zero. Then I declare an attack on this monster!"
"I flip up Ordeal of a Traveler. Now we flip the script and my opponent has to guess something.", I say.
"Usually the main Action of a deck are monster cards, with spells and traps on the side, so I call monster!"
"It is not a monster. Is is the spell Afterglow. Greedy Venom will return to your hand.", I say.
"I know that one, once her deck is emptied, she is basically guaranteed to deal 4000 points of effect damage the next turn.", Skylar says.
"Yeah, but with her guessing skills, she won't need to play Lightsworns.", Yukio says.
Obviously, Lightsworns will be the deck of Skylar.
"Dammit. I set three cards and-", Venom says.
"Before you do that, I'll open my Miracle Draw. Whenever I guess a draw correctly, I inflict 1000 points of damage and whenever I fail, I take 1000."
"At least Gishki Diviner is permanently negated.", Venom reminds me.
"In my second turn, I predict that I will draw the card SPYRAL Super Agent.", I reveal and got it correctly, (Starve Venom LP: 10800-9800) "Then I predict that your next draw is a spell, if I get it correctly, I can Special Summon Super Agent and destroy one card in your backrow."
"The top card of my deck is Violet Flash, so yeah, summon the thing.", Venom mutters.
"After summoning Super Agent, I choose to destroy the middle card in your main monster zone."
"It was was Venomous Infestation, which could swap your attacking monsters with my Starve Venom monsters or steal attacking Starve Venom monsters and treat them as having my name. Not a bad one to take out."
"I normal summon a second Gishki Diviner and declare that my next card is Archfiend's Oath.", I get it correctly of course, "I activate it I pay 500 Life Points and declare that I will draw the newly released Crystal Brilliance." (Nico LP: 8000-7500)
"Heh? I know she takes feminine intuition to a whole new level, but that card doesn't even make the slighest bit of sence for her deck!", Dark Rebellion comments.
"Maybe if she's this good at guessing stuff, she has constructed her deck in a way so that it can change theme in the middle of a duel!", Clear Wing says.
"No. This time, I got it wrong on purpose, because if I do, Archfiend's Oath sends them to the GY. And the card that I will mill is Wulf, the Lightsworn Beast, which van revive itself instantly! Next, I overlay both Gishki Diviner's into Phantom Knights Break Sword!"
"Hey! How dare you use Yuto's monster like this!", Dark Rebellion complains.
"Uhm, who's that?", I ask.
"Couldn't you guess?", Yukio asks, "no pun intended."
"I had no reason to try and guess other connections you might have. And while this pun is unintended as well, I do own the card Tri-and-Guess. And both Reficule and Simochi Allergy."
"In a way, he's my master and uses Phantom Knights.", Dark Rebellion grumblingly answers.
"One natural limit of my guessing is that while it is very accurate, I have to actually 'try' and use it intentionally. So, sorry for not being able to prevent something like this.", I hapharzardly apologize, „It does not work like a social Ultra Instinct."
"Eh, I was overreacting.", he says. people don't usually get over their overreactions this quick, but he is a sentient duel monsters card, so I guess it is possible.
"I detach an overlay unit from Break Sword to destroy my own Ordeal of a Traveller and another one of your face-down card, this time, the left one."
"Storming Mirror Force.", Venom reveals.
"Then I activate Afterglow, but this card require me to banish all further copies of it from my deck before shuffling it back in there. I attack directly with Super Agent, Wulf and Break Sword. (Starve Venom LP: 9800-3800) I set one card and end my turn."
"I'm suprised you don't have a rank 4. XYZ monster here. No Utopia Rising or anything?", Yukio wonders.
"Utopia Rising wouldn't make sense right now.", I state bluntly, „But no, not even monsters that make ense."
"Sadly, I have to wait a little before using my Violet Flash to guarantee an uninterrupted Fusion Summon with added drawing, because this needs to be activated at the beginning of my turn, I use my face-down trap, Delayed Fusion! In exchange for waiting to use this, I get a free summon! I choose to use my supreme version! Come forth, Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom! With this, I get to negate and steal effects, even from the GY. I steal the powers of your detached Diviner from the GY!"
"Do you really think you can copy her guessing too?", Yukio wonders, "Or since when do you use cards to stack your deck?"
„You're one to talk with your constant success at Foresight Draw, besides, I have another trick to get what I want! I have the heart of the cards! I declare that I will draw Instant Fusion!"
"Heart of the what?", Yukio wonders.
"In my world I heard Yugi Muto mention that concept. It basically amounts to getting the cards that you need, as you can guess from this situation.", I explain, „though usually it is used at more climactic and decisive points."
"You know, even if you don't stress the word guess, it feels like a silly pun.", Skylar says.
"And the card I got WAS Instant Fusion!", Starve Venom proudly declares.
"Obviously a card would be able to use the heart of the cards.", I say.
"I activate Violet Flash, to make sure you don't negate this and then I activate Instant Fusion, for 1000 Life Points. (SV LP: 3800-2800) I get to again, skip fusion materials, but here the monster's level has to be lower than 6! You see, the chinese Zodiac, doesn't just have animals, it has elements, too! And which element would be more fitting for a dragon than this! Come forth, Starve Venom Fire! (ATK: 1500)
My base form needs to be summoned with materials from the field to gain it's full power, but that won't extinguish my Fire! Because if this card is summoned without material from the field -and my Life Points are not placed on the field-, I can once per turn swap Fusion monsters of my archetype for fusion monsters of my archetype and I can swap the non-fusion parts for non-fusion parts and treat the revived monster as having my name. Oh and yeah, it has to be from the GY, should have probably started with that.
So now I'm going to draw from Violet Flash before I forget it. Oh, and one important thing to mention, I can revive the same monster that I tributed, so I get to reset Supreme King Starve Venom's soft once per turn effect. I once again steal the powers of Gishki Diviner and declare that I will draw Aurora Draw!"
The card on top of his deck is Fusion Treasure. He won't get to draw, but this card stays on top of his deck.
"If you're going to use a mind game by asking me what I'd guess, I'd just call out something that couldn't possibly be in your deck, like Gadget Box or Kshatri-La Fenrir, Magical Sheep Girl Meeg-Chan, Shairle, the Novice Sushi Fairy .", I say, „Or maybe Millenium Thousand-Eyes Virus."
"The card I drew from Violet Flash sadly was the following, Pot of Desires. I still get two cards, but Fusion Treasure will be banished alongside the other 9 cards on top of my deck. I attack Phantom Knights of Break Sword with Supreme King me."
(Nico LP: 7500-6700)
"Since I don't have any Phantom Knights in my GY, I don't get to use Break Sword's other effect.", I note.
"Guess' ya didn't need that?", Starve Venom says, "I use the spell card Bloodrush, for half of my LP (SV LP: 3800-1900) I get to keep attacking as long as I destroy monsters! I attack Wulf, then your Super against- I mean Agent! (Nico LP: 6700-6000-5200) Then a direct attack from me and the fire! (Nico LP: 5200-900) I set one card and end my turn!"
"You took the risk of copying Gishki Diviner twice, because you assumed, that I guessed I would be drawing Afterglow now, right? I won't, I'll draw Upstart Goblin, I use it right away."
"So the healing of Upstart Goblin and the damage from Miracle Draw will cancel each other out. How lucky for me.", Venom says.
"I set a monster and use my face-down DNA Chechup. Now the guessing is on the enemy again. Which attribute does my face-down card have? You have 2 guesses."
"It's going to be an annoying Flip Monster for sure, so it's either Earth or Dark.", Venoms says.
"No, the monster is Consecrated Light. You guessed wrong, so I get to draw 2 more cards."
"Do Earth and Dark even have the most flip monsters?", Yukio wonders.
"They do. But Light still has 32, thanks to the Duel Terminal's Worm archetype.", I answer, "Consecrated Light cannot be destroyed by battle with a dark monster, prevents dark monsters from attacking and prevents the enemy from summoning dark monsters."
"Uh, Looks like I gotta defeat her.", Clear Wing says.
"Hey! Don't count me out just yet!", Starve Venom complains.
"My next card is Nekroz Kaleidoscope, I send the level 6 Ell Shadoll Apkallone from my Extra Deck to the GY to Ritual Summon Nekroz of Brionac. Apkallone allows me to send Shadoll Beast from my deck to the GY, who himself has the ability to let me draw one card. Brionac can shuffle 2 monsters that were summoned from the Extra Deck, back into it."
"Wait, a minute, I use Waboku, before you try to defeat me this turn! Too bad I couldn't split my supreme king form into 2 pendulum monsters to weaken your monsters.", he mutters, „Oh wait, except for Odd-Eyes, who isn't here, they only affect the same card type. Forget what I just said."
"I use the power of Archfiend's Oath. (Nico LP: 900-400) I declare that I will draw Millenium Thousand-Eyes Virus."
"This is gotta be another intentional wrong.", Skylar says.
"Yes, I unfortunately don't have the strongest card in all of duel monsters. The card on top of my deck is Felis, the Lightsworn Archer, he can also revive himself upon being milled. I tune him and Brionac into the level 10 Baronne de Fleuer! (ATK: 3000) She can destroy one card per turn, but she can also negate and destroy one card while face-up on the field! I end my turn now."
"Off, that's bad.", Dark Rebellion says.
"That's the understatement of the century from your viewpoint.", Yukio says.
"Okay, please, heart of the card, give me something to get out of this mess, no matter how little sense it makes! I guess I got Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand. (ATK: 2100) It at least allows me to desecrate the consecrated light.", he destroys it, "However, when I now end my turn."
Powerhand is destroyed since Starve Venom doesn't have the Core to discard or a trap card to reveal.
"That is not a card that I could have predicted and definetly fits the bill of not making sense.", I say, "But unfortunately, all it would allow is letting Dark Rebellion make the next move. If I do not get another one, that is. I predict that I will draw Miginagi, the Talismanic Warrior. But I reveal damage mage. (Nico LP: 400-1000=0) however these special rules to allow me to posthumously use her effect to summon me and regain the LP I took as damage.(Nico LP: 0-1000) Her DEF are 1300."
"Ultimate BS.", SB prematuely mopes. Prematurely by a few seconds anyway.
"I then attack directly with Barrone de Fleur." (Starve Venom LP: 1900-3000=0)
WINNER: Nico Bessho
"Well- uh, at least her joke declaration wasn't something even more useless, like Larvae Moth or overpowered, like Vera the Vernalizer Fairy Goddes.", Clear Wing tries to cheer his... brother up.
"Those are weirds word to try and lift up someone's spirits.", Skylar notes.
"They're sentient cards, it would be weirder if they were completely normal.", Yukio says.
"You're next.", Dark Rebellion points at Clear Wing, "She might have another Consecrated Light, but I know for a fact that Yukio and Skylar don't. Skylar might use Shadow Imprisoning Mirror, but that one I can deal with."
"Okay, alright.", Clear Wing mutters.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (8000lp) vs Nico Bessho (1000lp)
"I start by summoning my Rescue Rabbit, I banish it for 2 copies of the normal monster Clear Wing Butterfly! It's a level 4 Tuner monster, so I use Clear Wing Lower Altitude to swap one of them for a level 3 Clear Wing! I summon the level 3 Clear Wing Archeo! I tune them both to summon me! I have 2500 ATK and... You know, you have quite a lot of female intuition, so I think the perfect counter to your guessing is manly idiocy!"
"I'm alread getting a migraine, what the heck is he planning?", Dark Rebellion mutters.
"Probably some dumb risk.", Yukio says.
"Not a risk, just fighting someone strong because that's the manly thing to do! I crash into Baronne de Fleur!" (Clear Wing LP: 8000-7500)
"Okay, and because you did that, she is going to be magically bad at guessing?", Dark Rebellion says.
"Yes. I end my turn!", Clear Wing says.
"Well, at least he's not nervous anymore.", Starve Venom mutters.
"I guess that I will draw the card Drawber, which was correct. (Clear Wing LP: 7500-6500) I now activate it, if I guess corrctly which card you are going to draw next, everything you have will be shuffled back into your deck."
"But if you don't, I have one card extra.", Clear Wing reminds me.
"It will be Clear Wing Falcon.", I say confidently
"It wasn't, it was this!", he reveals a card called Clear Wing Flying Fishes.
"It worked?", Skylar says, trying to comprehend this.
"Dammit, but I attack you directly! (Clear Wing LP: 6500-3500) I end my turn. And I still can negate one card effect per turn!"
"It's once while on the field.", Yukio reminds me.
Dammit again.
"Hehe, I activate Clear Wing Takeoff! I control nothing, so I can summon the level 5 Flying Fishes from my hand! Since I control a monster of my archetype, I special summon my second Clear Wing Archeo! I then normal summon my third Butterfly. I synchro summon Clear Wing Fast Dragon with those monsters! Flying Fishes then allows me to summon a level 1 tuner token. I then activate Re-Tune Upgrade, removing the tuner status from Flying Fishes to boost it by one level. Then I tune it with the token to summon my normal self again! Then I activate Synchro Treasure, with 2 Synchro Monsters on the field, I can draw 2 cards! I negate Barrone the Fleur's effect with Fast Dragon and lower her attack towards nothing! Then I attack her with Synchro Dragon!" (Nico LP: 1000-2500=0)
WINNER: Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
POV 2 Clear Wing
"Hah! My plan absolutely worked!", I boast.
"I guess it did.", Rebellion says, "Are you really certain she only guessed wrong because of one unlogical move?"
"Who knows?", I say.
"It did confuse me and I didn't see it coming. I can foresee misplays, but this... I guess I still have a lot to learn.", Nico says.
"Then it's time for me.", Yukio says.
"If you want to go second, sure.", Skylar says.
Duel 3: Yukio Tachibana (8000lp) vs Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (3500lp)
"If you think that leaving Damage Mage on the field give me dead weight, then you're wrong.", Yukio says, "But first, since you didn't take Miracle Draw of the field, I have to guess now, don't I? Uhm, I guess, maybe Tense Great Shield?", he draws and reveals something called Karma Manifestation. (Yukio LP: 8000-7000)
"Usually, I'm luckier at guessing-based drawing effects.", he says, "At least I got a good card, but I preemptively use Mystical Space Typhoon on my Miracle Draw, before it gets out of hand. Next, I use Wonder Wand, equipping it to damage Mage and tribute it to draw 2 cards. Then I set the Pendulum Scales with scale 0 and 10 Domination and Supremacy Magician! I pendulum Summon Null Magician, Replication Magician and Nexus Magician! I summoned three monsters, so I get to draw 3 cards by the effect of Domination. I activate the Ritual Spell, Advanced Foregone Ritual, this can properly Ritual Summon a Ritual Monster at the cost of reducing my bigger pendulum scale by the amount of monsters I control, AND its stats are 0 and it cannot use its effects this turn, I choose Disaster Karma Ritual Dragon, which I can still use it for this! I activate Karma Manifestation, tributing Null and Replication Magician as well as Disaster Karma Ritual Dragon in my hand. Oh, unfathomable Dragom, I offer you the Supreme King power dwelling within me! Emerge from formless Chaos and restore order to a world ravaged by despair with your supreme power! Ritual Summon! Manifest now, Level 12! The Supreme King Destiny Dragon, Swaying Karma Ritual Dragon! (ATK: 4000)"
"You certainly have a thing for the dramatic.", Nico comments.
"This monster certainly deserves it, but one of its effect relies on the opponent having more cards than the user, while Clear Wing and Yukio both control four cards in this moment. He also cannot gain ATK from having less LP.", Dark Rebellion points out.
"Oh, but it is immune to Fast Dragon because that one targets, and I will destroy Fast Dragon with Swaying Karma. (CW LP: 3500-2000) Thankfully, your other cards don't seem to be that useful either, so that there was no need to destroy them. I end my turn."
"My turn, draw! I shuffle the me that I crashed during my duel against Nico back into my deck! I special summon Clear Wing Angel! I don't need to target you, if I use the other regular me still on the field to summon myself with Crystal Wings! He gains your Swaying Karma's 4000 ATK during the battle!"
"I banish Null Magician to negate that damage. I can also revive a monster and gain LP equal to its ATK. Since Swaying Karma is more of a turn-the-tides kind of dragon, I revive the Disaster Karma that I tributed. (Yukio LP: 8000-11300) When a Ritual Dragon gets destroyed, I also add back Karma Manifestation to my hand."
"F*ck, I'll end my turn.", I mutter.
"I'm amazed at how the confusing point in relation to this swearing is not that this dragon is a trading card creature, but the fact that he has a rather reserved personality.", Nico notes.
"What about the fact that it's a dragon?", Skylar wonders.
"Eh, it's a monster, they can swear if they can talk.", Nico says.
"My turn, draw! I pendulum summon Replication Magician and Synchronic Magician, this time, I'll draw 2 cards. Now Replication copies the level 3 of Nexus Magician, I use those three monsters to summon my own Fast Dragon. With it, I'll try to take your Crystal Wing's power and effects! What are you going to do?"
"I guess I have to negate this one and won't be able to negate Disaster Karma..., but Crystal me rises to 5500 ATK, just so you know.", I say.
" I destroy him with Disaster Karma. (Clear Wing LP: 2000-1600)Then I'm gonna set two cards just in case and use my own Foresight Draw, discarding the Karma Manifestation in my hand!"
"Really, even though Clear Wing destroyed your guessing luck along with Nico's?", Venom wonders.
"He was trying to combat her feminine intuition and I'm also a dumb-risk taking dude, so that Miracle Draw was just a fluke! I guess that I will draw a spell!"
He reveals Dragonpit Magician.
"This has never happened to me before.", Yukio mutters, "The rest of my milled cards are Nobledragon Magician, Apex Dimensional Architect Magician, as well as Dowsing Magician and finally my trusty Tense Great Shield. But you know, here's the thing, my set cards take advantage of what's in my GY and while I may not be able to draw the next turn, I can just use my pendulum cards! But first, I use Magicalized Synchro Minus! I banish Dragonpit and Nobledragon as level 6 and 2 monsters to make way for Tempestuous Gale Paladin! (ATK: 3000) I use his effect to try and bounce all of your monsters and deal 400 damage for each!"
„Nope, not happening!", I counter, „I activate Clear Wing Roost, this card negats and destroys your monster at the „cost" of milling one Clear Wing monsters. I choose Clear Wing Warbler. Oh, but this card also has the convenient addition of giving me LP equal to its DEF. (Clear Wing LP: 1600-2700) ."
„That make it suspicious that you didn't mill something better, but you're not a mindgamer, so I'll proceed like normal. I still have another face-down. I use Dragon's Mirror! I banish Dowsing Magician and Dimensional Architect Magician to Fusion Summon Starving Venemy Dragon (ATK: 2500) First, I'll attack directly with this one! And then with Disaster!"
(Clear Wing LP: 2700-200)
„You probably thought that my face-down would be stronger if you rushed in with the stronger monster first, but you're dead wrong! I activate Clear Wing Final Flight! This ends the turn and summons one Clear Wing for each monster that you have, from my EXTRA DECK! I summon Clear Wing Lindwurm and Dragon Tamer! Lindwurm allows me to draw a card for each monster on the field, which is four!"
„Ch, well, it's not exactly possible to predict last-ditch Deus ex Machina cards.", Yukio says, „And it still requires me to deal more damage than you have LP, so I in fact, DID do the right thign by attacking with Venemy first. But now it makes sense you didn't mill something with higher DEF."
„And in my turn, I normal summon Clear Wing Mosquitoe, he is level 2, while Lindwurm is level 3 and Tamer is level 4, so I synchro summon the level 9, Clear Wing Hazard Dragon!
(ATK: 3500) He can destroy one monster for each of his materials, but I only need 2 out of 3, Venemy and Disaster Karma go away and Hazard gets boosted by their ATK! That makes for 9300 in total! I attack you directly!" (Yukio LP: 11300-2000)
„By the way, since you killed a Ritual Dragon, Karma Manifestation returns to my hand. To bad Disaster wasn't Ritual Summoned, or I could revive one of his tributes now and destroy the whole field."
„Then I set 4 cards and end my turn."
„Now he has to skip a draw phase, because he guessed wrong on foresight draw. But he does have his Magician's duo to make up for that.", Nico notes.
„As I said. I Pendulum Summon Replication Magician and Synchronic Magician. This gives me two cards. I use Replication Magician's effect to give it the same level as Synchronic Magician. I activate the Spell Lost Tradition, discarding a Ritual Spell -obviously Karma Manifestation- to draw 2 cards. I activate the Spell Extra Stars, this lets me ditch a monster from my ED to add its Stars to my monsters. I ditch the Xyz Monster Startime Magician to turn the 4 Rank Stars into level stars on both Synchronic and Replication Magician."
„Now it's time for my alternate form.", Dark Rebellion says, „And I'm kinda miffed you weren't all trying to keep track of whether Starving Venemy, Fast Dragon and Anthelion had shown up."
„What he said. (What he said ATK: 3000) I detach one overlay unit to halve Hazard's mountain of ATK and gain it, LP equal to it and turn those attack points into a shield that prevents its destruction!"
„I have a simple counter for that!", I yell out, „I use Assault Mode activate, tributing my Hazard Dragon for Clear Wing Hazard Dragon/Assault Mode, who has 500 more in both base stats! Now I use his effect to negate Anthelion's powers destroy it and give me his ATK points! That should boost me to 7000!"
„I use Rank Up Magic Dimensional Force, since I control nothing, I can rank-up the Anthelion that's now face-up in my Extra Deck! I turn it into Darkbright Sunspot Dragon! (ATK: 3400) I detach an overlay unit to-"
„Don't bother, I activate Silver over Ashes, this negates an XYZ monsters effect and gives it's ATK to the Synchro Monster it would have affected. This makes for 10400 ATK on me."
„Then I use the card version of a specific form of XYZ summoning, I activate Add-Up Xyz Ascension! This combines the Rank 8 on my field, with the Rank 4 Startime Magician in my GY to create Void Prominence Dragon! (ATK: 3800) Unlike the normal Add-Up Xyz, I don't need to detach any materials to do it. I detach an overlay unit from Prominence to drain 400 ATK from your Assault Hazard for each level it has!" (ATK: 10400-6000)
„This effect isn't stronger at all! It should be a guarantee to defeat ANY monster of ridiculous ATK! Are you trying to mock me!", Dark Rebellion says.
„Well, if it could've reduced you to zer- are you're not gonna listen anyways. I attack you and use the non-drawing Magician to double my dragon's ATK in exchange for an inability to deal battle damage here!"
„Since Hazard Dragon Assault Mode was destroyed, I get to revive the original. Since I just summoned a Synchro Monster from the GY, I also get to activate Majestic Rise, which summons Majestic Dragon from my deck and a Majestic Token, which has no stats and a level of one. But that is all I need."
„Your monsters have almost as many ways to upgrade themselves as mine.", Yukio notes, „But I end my turn with that."
„I start my turn by using my monsters to Synchro Summon Majestic Hazard Dragon (ATK: 5000), which negates the effect of every other monster on the field, destroys them and gains their ATK!"
„Didn't I mill my Tense Great Shield earlier? I can now banish this card to let Void Pominence survive this destruction in exchange for halving its ATK down to 1900. But your Majestic Rise has one disadvantage, it makes it so that Void Prominence's ATK is its original value again when it battles this turn."
„Usually things mentioned at the last second about a card's effect benefit their user, not the opponent.", Rebellion comments, „Well, it can't always go perfect."
„I can still destroy it, since this also means you can't use your Wizard to double its power! So yes, this sudden, but not so sudden, since it's only a few moments after the initial activation, mentioned clause DOES have a benefit for myself and it can always go perfect. Attack, Majestic Hazard!"
(Yukio LP: 2000-800)
„You probably should start reading card effects. I may be unable to place Void Prominence in the pendulum zone, but I can use its effect to inflict damage equal to half its own ATK! So, nope, this one didn't go perfect."
(Clear Wing LP: 800-1900=0)
„I'm still gonna use one power from beyond the grave! I activate my face-down Assault Mode Zero! I tribute Majestic Hazard Dragon, to summon its Assault Mode Version from my hand! (ATK: 5500)"
WINNER: Yukio
POV 3 Dark Rebellion
„You know, I kinda feel like the next part is gonna be really short.", I say, „I'm still gonna set five cards into my backrow."
The effect of the beast that Clear Wing left behind is the following
At the start of each battle phase, negate the effects of every monster your opponent controls, destroy as many of them as possible and this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster(s) total ATK and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK gained. During your End Phase and after this card battles a monster or if this card is destroyed, choose one Dark or Wind Dragon monster in your Extra Deck, return this card to the Extra Deck and summon that monster, if the summoned card was an Xyz monster, attach this card as an overlay unit instead.
But Yukio doesn't have any monsters.
„And NOW, I defeat you the obvious way.", I declare.
(Yukio LP: 800-5000=0)
WINNER: Clear Wing
„Now it's down to the final two.", Skylar says, „In the Null Dimension, my Lightsworns were known as a „suicide deck" not because of the dangers of self milling, but because it was strong and easy too use, so the Obelisk Force had to eliminate their users with extreme prejudice and priority. But witht he various upgrades I'm gonna test now, I think I'm think I'm safe against, „rocks over head" squads."
„That explanation is still missing quite a few details.", Nico says.
„Aren't you trying to return to your own world?", I ask, „You can wait asking for her life's story until that fails."
„Yeah, her and my story could make for quite the exposition dump.", Yukio says, „though mine is a lot longer. No innuendo intended."
Nico is blushing.
Dark Rebellion (8000lp) vs Skylar (8000lp)
„I think I should start. I activate the continous Spell Lightsworn Sanctuary and Realm of Light. Both gain counters whenever something is sent from the deck to the GY. And since the interdimensional war does not have to abide by the banlist, I use Painful Choice! I reveal Felis, the Lightsworn Archer, Wulf, the Lightsworn Beast, Lumina the Lightsworn Summoner Ryko the Lightsworn Hunter and Minerva, the Lightsworn Maiden. Which one will I receive?"
„Felis, since he can't be normal summoned, but Wulf only has bigger stats and no other effect except summoning himself upon milling.", I explain.
„Both of the aforementioned spells now have one counter. And my field spell gives my Lightsworns 100 ATK for every counter on it. However, since Minerva got milled I have to mill another card. Which makes for a second counter on both cards and a boost of 200. The monster I milled was Shire, the Lightsworn Spirit. Since I have 4 Lightsworns in the GY and they all have different names, I get to summon my archetype's boss monster, I summon Judgement Dragon! (ATK: 3000) I will pay 1000 Life Points (Skylar LP: 8000-7000) to destroy every other card on the field."
„Your spells could protect themselves by removing a counter. But if I negate your power, they don't have to do even that. So I'll kindly use Dragon King's Aura to negate and destroy your Judgement Dragon. I will not banish a monster from to revive it on my field. Aren't I a nive fellow?"
„Then I'll normal summon Eccentric Archfiend and tribute it to destroy Majestic Clear Wing.", Skylar proceeds.
„He allows me to summon a monster from my Extra Deck and becomes its overlay unit. He may lack self-protection, but he does have a backup. I use it to summon a Dark Anthelion Dragon of my own. And I'm going to show Yukio how to upgrade this alternate version of me properly."
„I use Lightsworn Sanctuary to discard Felis and add Lumina back to my hand. Then I pendulum summon Lumina and the Archfiend Eccentric from my Extra Deck and Yukio's leftover Pendulum also allows me to draw 2 cards. I use Lumina's effect, discarding Gragonith to revive Minerva. I use Minerva the tuner, alongside Archfiend Eccentric and Lumina as Synchro Material! I summon Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"
„That's one of the things that alot of tournament players in your world used, despite nobody using an Ice Barrier Deck, right?", Clear Wing asks.
„Yes, and now the one card in your hand, Anthelion on the Field and Dragon King's Aura in your GY will be banished."
„Now it's time to show the proper upgrading. I activate Rank-Up Trap Escape Trick! Anthelion becomes immune to Trishula's Powers and then gets ranked up! I summon Dark Glory Dragon! (ATK: 3500)"
„Like Anthelion, Glory actually is also an optical phenomenon similar to a saint's halo.", Nico explains.
„See? Your first upgrade is only named Sunspot. How boring is that?"
„I think the real matter is its effect, if you want to outdo me, do me- uhm, that in those deparments.", Yukio says, „Besides, Anthelion is not the main star, so its not a deal breaker. Chaos Karma's upgrade names are far more important."
„I could probably think of something cooler than Disaster and Swaying.", I argue, „At least something cooler than Swaying, because Disaster sounds pretty cool already."
Dammit, I was supposed to be the serious one, but I just cannot resist here.
„If that's how you go, then why didn't you use the terms Parhelion or Anthelic points as basis for the naming?", Yukio argues.
How does he even know those words? Did he google them in case we would be arguing this?
„Glory is a word that sounds awesome outside of being a sciency word related to the sun.", I argue.
„Then your remaning for Disaster and Swaying Karma can only use religious terms that are used in normal language as well!", Yukio insists.
How normal is Nirvana? But Nirvana Karma Ritual Dragon doesn't sound that cool? Maybe Chaos Nirvana Ritual Dragon? Sounds alright, bu I need something even better.
„Meanwhile, I use De-Synchro on Trishula, so that I may repeat its effect.", Skylar interrupts.
„You may not, because Dark Glory's totally superior effect will go against that! I detach two overlay units to use all of its effect! I weaken your Trishular to zero ATK! I immunize it to all following effects, meaning it stays on the field and De-Synchro doesn't work and I gain LP equal to the ATK of ANY monster on the field, I pick my own Dark Glory! (DR LP: 8000-11500)"
„You didn't immunize Dark Glory against anything, which means I can destroy him now!", Skylar points out, „And Sunspot could halve every monster the enemy had. So I doubt YOUR version of the upgrade is that good. I activate Arrival of Twilight. I banish Jain the Lightsworn Paladin from my deck and can summon a darker version of him from there! Come forth, Jain the Twilightsworn Paladin. He still gains the boost that Realm of Light provides. (ATK: 1800-1900)"
„It's just some little knight.", I shrug.
„Oh, but I can banish Gragonith from my GY to reduce your monsters ATK by 300 for each of its levels. Which basically means that your Glory loses ATK equal to Jain's ATK! (ATK: 3500-1700) Now I can easily take it out! (DR LP: 11500-11300)"
„He puts itself into my pendulum zone as rank 9. He can also put any Pendulum Monster that comes from the face-down Extra Deck into my other pendulum zone.", I say „What was Sunspots pendulum effect again?"
„I gain LP equal to ATK changes and he can Xyz Summon himself from the Pendulum Zone by using three level 8 monsters. Doesn't sound like a terrible deal to me.", Yukio says.
„You're lucky I don't have access to our final and combined form.", I say.
„I don't need to know and don't want to what this exactly means.", Nico says.
„My turn. I use Trap Recovery, putting the remaining 3 pieces of backrow into my deck and draw 3 new cards. I use Dark Glory's Pendulum Effect to put Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon into the other pendulum zone, creating a scale of 1 and 9. I Link Summon three copies of Coward of the Dark Rebellion!"
„What.", Nico says, „Okay, Clear Wing's random crashing really has defeated my guessing skills because nothing could prepare me for this."
„It's kind of a really dumb name -worse than any of my cards to be honest- but aren't you overreacting a little?", Yukio asks.
„I-i'm used to my guessing working. But it seems- it's used up now.", Nico says.
„My effect takes strength from the enemy, so it makes PERFECT sense to name my main deck monsters after stuff that would be HARMFUL to a rebellion!", I argue, „I summon my original self with two of them. Then I tribute the remaining Coward to add a Rank-Up Magic to my hand. I add Contrarian Force! This instanstly allows me to turn myself into Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon! I can use its effect like a quick effect now, but my Requiem cannot deal more damage than its base ATK this turn ! I defeat Jain (Skylar LP: 7000-4000) But with this Dragon, I stay at 4800 ATK until you take it off the field. I end my turn."
„Alright, then I turn Trishula in Defense Position. (DEF: 2000) I pendulum summon Eccentric Archfiend and draw an Extra Card for that!"
„Just so you know, Requiem can also detach an overlay unit to negate the destroying effect and also revives something on top of that.", I point out.
„I have other ways. I use my Sanctuary's effect! I discard Rinyan, Lightsworn Rogue to add Minerva back to my hand! I normal Summon Raiden, Hand of the Lighsworn, I mill 2 cards and boost him to 1900 if I get any Lightsworns. I also get to use Jain's effect to mill two additional cards. I milled the Lightsworns Celestia and Lyla with Raiden,. That means my cards have 2 counters each. Now I use the level 4 Raiden and level 3 Eccentric Archfiend as Synchro Material! I summon the level 7 Michael the Archlightsworn! (ATK: 2600-2800) I pay 1000 Life Points to banish Requiem! (Skylar LP: 4000-3000)"
„And there she found the weak spot in its armour.", Nico comments.
„I attack directly with Michael!" (DR LP: 11300-8500)
„That hurt a little, but its basically nothing compared to what you have.", I say.
„Hey, it's not over until the final Life Point.", Yukio says.
„Yes, and now I use March of the Dark Brigade, I add the Lumina from my GY to my hand and banish the top 3 cards from my deck, one for each level that she has! I banished another Rinyan, Shire and Lightsworn Sabre!"
„She goes from sending to GY to banishing?", Clear Wing wonders.
„I then set 3 cards and end my turn. Michael mills three cards, which means the 3rd counter on each of my cards and a boost of 300 by my field spell! But one of the cards I milled was Lightsworn Judgement and Twilight Twin Dragons! These add Judgement Dragon from my deck and the milled Punishment Dragon from my GY to my hand! Twilight Twin Dragons also banishes 4 cards from the top of my deck.
Those are the Twilightsworn versions of Lumnia, Ryko, the normal Aurkus and another Realm of Light."
„Are we really certain that Academia was afraid of these because it was too easy to play?", Starve Venom wonders, „This feels a bit complicated."
„Well, with these additions they certainly aren't going to be the good guy counterpart to Ancient Gears in the terms of monolithic boring, but effective mook deck.", Yukio asks.
„Because they're interesting, varied, partially evil because of the twilightsworns?", Nico wonders.
„Yes, but mostly because it's not gonna be that simple to play if the Twilightsworn style is perfected.", Yukio says, „Dark Rebellion is right on that one."
„My turn, I activate Dark Rebellion Conversion. I can steal a weakened monster you control and make it into level 7 or 4. I take the obvious Trishula and choose the lower one. Then I pendulum Summon Dark Rebellion Ditherer, who is level 7, but can reduce himself to 4 during an Xyz Summoning.
I summon a copy of myself and use Ditherer's other effect to instantly rank myself up!
I summon Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Since he has a Dark attribute xyz material, I negate the effects of all other face-up monsters! And Also, I gain 800 ATK, since I used the stolen Trish as material."
„It only does the negating after detaching something for its effect.", Skylar points out.
„Fine smartypants, I do that and bring myself to 6400 ATK! Since the Xyz summoned Arc Rebellion cannot be destroyed, I'll attack your Michael."
„Looks like we have another misprediction of BS luck here. I activate Lightsworn Barrier, which mills 2 cards –two Pots of Desires- to negate this. But my cards sadly only gain counters from Lightsworn monsters milling stuff."
„This card doesn't negate, but for continous spells and traps, destroying during resolution is enough! I chain Twin Twister! I discard to destroy this and another face-down!"
„Are you waiting for a Giant Trunade to destroy Realm and Sanctuary? Unfortunately, I simply reveal Imperial Custom, which prevents the destruction of continous traps! The attack negation goes through!"
„You know, what if I make you mill yourself to death? I use Rank UP Magic Rush Force! This card ranks up a boosted monster and transfers those boosts! I summon Arc Rebellion Paragon dragon, which now has 6900 ATK! I'll attack!"
Everyone starts to snicker and only Nico Bessho looks the slightest bit ashamed at this.
„This reminds me of that incident with the Tyler Sisters.", Yukio snickers.
„What's your counter this time?".I ignore those words.
„How about a Magic Cylinder?", she asks.
„I detach an overlay unit to negate your card. Which sadly leaves me open for the other thing.", I grit my teeth.
„Yes, my Barrier mills Pot of Avarice and Aquisitiveness to negate that."
„2 set card and this turn is over.", I say.
„My turn. I have to be careful, this time, I only pendulum summon Lumina from my hand and draw only one card. I discard the Trap Light Spiral to revive Minerva and Synchro Summon Briona, Dragon of the Ice Barrier."
„Bottomless Trap Hole for that.", I counter, „You were too careful when you didn't summon Eccentric Archfiend. It seems if we're a bit too wary of BS luck, it won't appear."
„Then I'm gonna summon Judgement Dragon, since I have those Lightsworns in my GY. I pay 1000 Life Points to nuke everything else! (Skylar LP: 4000-3000)"
„I detach another thing from Paragon to negate this, and since I negated a monster, I rise to 9900 ATK."
„But will he survive Michael? (Skylar LP: 3000-2000)"
„Then it's time to upgrade in reverse! I use Rank Down Trap Escape Folly! It immunizes me to your effect and then I Rank Down! I summon Dark Law Xyz Dragon! (ATK: 800) The summoned monster is also immune to everything else. It's own effect detaches an overlay unit to reverse a battle outcome, but at halved damage. And regardless of that when it deals damage it gains that as power."
„Since I also have the right amount of banished Lightsworns, I summon Punishment Dragon. (ATK: 3000) And with 4 light monsters in the GY, I can also summon Lightray Daedalus.
I use his effect to try and destroy my Field Spell alongside your Pendulum Cards. I remove one of Realm of Light's Counters to make it survive though."
„Since Lighray Daedalus destroys those cards at the same time, having an indestructible Field Spell allows her to reuse its powers indefinetly!", Yukio boasts.
„Like it's ever gonna stay on the field for several turns!", Starve Venom argues.
„I also summon Lightray Diabolos, since I actually have at least five lights. Now it's time to fight XYZ with XYZ! With my Lighrays, I summon Voloferniges the Darkest Doomrider (DEF: 2100) Also, I guess I should be using my Magical Planter to trade my Barrier for 2 more cards."
„We've been getting a little nervous and confused, haven't we? Shouldn't you have done that right at the start of the turn?", I tease.
„Shutup. But before I do much with Volo, I attack Dark Law with Michael."
„I detach that overlay unit to do the thing I just said. (Skylar LP: 2000-100 Dark Law ATK: 800-2700)"
„But now I can shuffle the Lightsworns from my GY back into my deck and regain 300 LP for each. (Skylar LP: 100-4400) Okay and now, I overlay Judgement and Punishment into Number 38, Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy! I end my turn!"
„My turn, draw!"
„Since Lightray Diabolos is an overlay unit of the Dragon Type, I can use Volo's effect as a quick effect! I detach both overlay units to destroy your dragon and since it had rank 2, multiplying it by 300 makes for a 600 ATK boost on Titanic Galaxy!", Skylar... basically counters before I even start my turn.
„Ch, fine, I set a card and end my turn."
„Guess this is our turnabout. Finally, we're in the lead again.", Yukio grins.
„Oh, I swear I will jinx that!", I declare.
„Isn't jinxing when you ruin your own chances by being overconfident?", Clear Wing asks, „And just now, you might have been acting a bit overconfident."
„Those details don't matter as long as I win.", I say.
„That's definetly more jinxing, brother.", Starve Venom points out.
„I'm gonna make sure the answer is yes.", Skylar declares, jinxing herself, „I change Voloferniges into ATK mode, where his power is at 2500. Then I attack directly with both of my monsters. (DR LP: 8500-4900-2400) Then I set a card and end my turn. Also, Titanic Galaxy drops to 3000 ATK as the boost by Voloferniges ends."
„Of course that set card wouldn't deter you.", I say as I draw a card, „I open it to reveal a Raigeki."
„I negate it with Number 38's effect and make it its overlay unit.", Skylar counters.
„Now it's time for my final trick, I use Dragon's Mirror! I banish myself and Dark Law from my GY to summon Dark Rebellion Fusion Dragon! As fusion, I have the same ATK as Venom, but can use my Treason Discharge twice per turn for free. Simple but effective. I halve each monster's power once and grant them to Fusion Dragon (Voloferniges ATK: 2500-1250 Number 38 ATK: 3000-1500 Fusion Dragon ATK: 2800-4050-5550) Then I destroy your Number 38. (Skylar LP: 4400-350) I end my turn. There also. one Advantage that Dark Rebellion Fusion Dragon has: Its boosts are eternal."
„I expected something bigger for your so called final trick.", Skylar says, „But unfortunately I can't finish you off just yet either. I use a card borrowed from Yukio, the good old, regular Pot of Greed!"
„Dammit, will she make the winning move?", Venom grits his teeth, „Brother, you really shouldn't have called this the final trick!"
„Not instantly, but very soon.", Skylar says, looking at her drawn cards, „I set one card and then use my own AFTERGLOW! I don't need to repeat the explanation, do I? I end my turn."
„Let's hope the BS-Luck predictions are correct this time.", Yukio says.
„I draw. I simply summon a Sangan (ATK: 1000) If you kill it with the face-down, I might get a search. So, will your card make it worse to attack with the strong or to attack with the weak? Both can defeat you."
„Just try it. Or end you turn and hope for me not drawing Afterglow. That might work as well.", Skylar says.
„Yes, there will be no damage if you don't draw it immediately the next turn, but that is to risky. I decide to attack with Sangan!"
„Wrong order!", Skylar exclaims.
„Yes! We've won!", Yukio shouts.
„To be precise, I use Punch in the Box, it sends one monster you control, apart from the attacker to the GY and then it weakens the attack by its stats! Dark Rebellion Fusion Dragon dies and Sangan's power is reduced to zero! Another way to save you from this would have been to not summon anything."
„Gr... Fine, I'll end my turn! Draw your last pathetic card!"
Skylar takes a deep breath.
„My turn, DRAW!", she yells.
A few moments of silence.
Skylar turns around the drawn card.
It is Aferglow.
„Now-" (Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon LP: 2400-4000=0)
WINNER: Skylar
„Well, that was an interesting round of training.", Clear Wing says, „Though you should have used Afterglow after succesfully emptying your own deck."
And then a portal opens again.
„Oh right, you were intending to leave.", Clear Wing says, sheepishly.
„Yeah, this was certainly an interesting event.", Nico says.
„Maybe after this war is over, we're gonna make some visits to your world.", Yukio offers.
„That could be very interesting.", Nico says, „Until then, farewell."
Funny how in the meantime ygotas 85 came out which featured grandpa using Ordeal of Traveler
Why is this released early? Well, I mentioned that hypothetical non-ff story in one AN in the original ARC-VRAINS and to focus better on that, I will thinnen the amount of „sidesteam writing" I produce. However, with the view specials, there will periodically another stream to focus on, so I will fix the amount and content of specials, to what will be noted below, in the order noted below.
Why did I have Lightsworns as the final player of the non-dragonic side? Simply, I had that deck one IRL.
Order: (Also, all off the following will be with 8000 LP and post vrains emz rules)
Mayoi vs Hotaru
Chihiro vs Ibuki vs All/Nothing, with three-way rules like in that one chapter of Cross-VRAINS, but still 8000lp and post VRAINS EMZ rules
Ruri and Yoruno from Hidden Power (Deleted, but I have the wayback machine) vs Futaba and Yuto,
The Davinator style View Special
Anzel, Effect Veiler and Roboyarou/Lady from Curran's Tale vs Zwijo, Manabu and Rovian from Go RUSH will obviously feature rush rules
In reference to the hypothetical real bookm a 6-way between Crystal Beasts, Generaider, Prankids, Melodius (focus on tam-tam), Archfiends and Aromages, it will make sense if it actually does end up becoming a real book
Crystal Beats will be played by Yukari
As tribute to Kazuki Takahashi,
a 6v6 WRGP-Style Duel with Yugi, Yusei, Jaden, Yuma and Yuamu (so that this isn't a complete sausage fest) and Shoma Yusa from OCG Structures (Tenyi Deck that he used in the first duel) aka, the protags not appearing in Arc-VRAINS against decks referencing his non-YGO manga, which are:
1.Spyrals (the Comiq was a murder myster, they kinda have to do with investigations)
2.Dragon Rulers (Drump was something with Dragons)
3.Masked Heroes (He wrote a one-shot for marvel, so I chose a Hero Archetype, I hadn't written yet)
4.Dinowrester (Tennenshoku Danji Burai was about wrestling)
5.U.A. (Reference to ING Love Ball and Go-Q-Choji Ikkiman)
6.Raid Raptors (He wrote Tokyo no Taka, which means Tokyo's Falcon)
Dinowrestler will be used by Go Onizuka and Spyrals by the Arc-VRAINS OC that used them, while Raidraptors will be done by Shun. This duel will combine Rush, Speed and Dimension Dueling from the Darkside Movie
The final one is another WRGP-Style 6v6 with the following players
The Yu-Boys, Yusaku and Mayoi vs
1. Elliot Reid from Arc-VOC by Opfan37
2. Yukimoto Kabuto from Darkus Duelist of Miami by tigerkim1027
3. Malik from enGage by HereIcome
4. Q from Kim-Chang-Ra's Q,Q,Q!
5. Muiko from Yugioh Muikai by Newcomer1
6. Omega from Paralell Pendulum of Time by ghost83
