((Special Note: I'd REALLY like to thank BlakDragon220 for helping me think
of Takura's Deck Theme because I was desperately thinking of one good deck
for him. So thank you very much!))

"Ghost Town eh?" Mink said. "Is it like a haunted theme park or something?"
"Ghost Town.... It's the western theme of Toon World." Devon said.
"Ahhh... Western stuff eh?" Jess smiled.
"Yeah plus it takes too long to get there so they have to ride them in the carts to get there." Devon pointed out as Takura and Daniel got in their own cart and the security guards drove them off.
Daniel sat there for a while, looking at his deck. He can remember only the way Yore looked as Takura beat him. It was strange and yet mysterious to what kind of deck Takura had.
Takura looked up behind Daniel and Daniel looked back. Takura smiled, waving and Daniel waved back. "Gah... I got to pull my self together. It can be anything!" Daniel thought.
The two carts entered a deserted town in the middle of the desert. "So this is what they meant about the Ghost Town." Takura said, amazed.
"Please take your places." The judge said.
Takura ran into the ghost town in the middle of the road and Daniel entered, taking his opposite side from Takura.
"And start!" The judge announced.
Both their life points rose up to 4000 and they got ready. "Well here goes!" Daniel announced, drawing his first round of cards. "Now! I summon Orpheus, in defense mode! (100/2500) I'll set a card and end my turn!"
Takura drew his next card, smiling as if this wasn't such a serious duel. "Now! I summon Wolf Kut, in attack mode! (1600/1200)" Takura announced. "I'll then place a card face down and end my turn!"
Daniel looked at him weirdly but Takura just looked normal. He was a strange kid when dueling but totally mysterious.
"Draw!" Daniel announced, drawing his next card. "Now! I summon Nin-Ken Dog! (1800/1200)".
Suddenly a dog dressed in a ninja outfit formed onto the field. "Haha!" Takura laughed, seeing the funny looking monster.
"Now! Nin-Ken Dog, attack and destroy his Wolf Kut!" Daniel yelled, pointing at the monster.
The dog threw a few shuriken's at the wolf, destroying it and reducing Takura's life points to 3800. Suddenly Takura smiled. "Now! You've activated Wolf Kut's special ability!" He yelled.
"What?!" Daniel said as a tumble weed rolled by behind him.
"By destroying Wolf Kut, I can summon this, Spirit Wolf! (2000/1300)" Takura announced as the transparent spirit formed onto the field.
Daniel's turn had ended. "What kind of monsters are those?!" Daniel said, a bit shocked.
"Draw!" Takura announced, drawing his next card. "I'll summon Nockt Eagle, in defense mode (100/2300). Now! Spirit Wolf attack and destroy his Nin-Ken Dog!"
The wolf let out a howl and charged at the ninja dog, destroying it. Daniel's life points reduced to 3800. Takura then ended his turn.
Daniel drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I sacrifice Orpheus to summon this, Baffomet! (1400/1800)" Daniel announced. "This monster allows me to put a Gazelle into my hand!"
Takura watched as a card slid out of his Deck Holster and then adding it to his hand. "Hmmm..." Takura said.
"Now! I play Fusion! Fusing Baffomet and Gazelle into Winged Beast, Chimera! (2100/1800)" Daniel yelled as Baffomet morphed into a two headed, winged beast. "Now! Attack and destroy his Spirit Wolf!"
"Nah uh." Takura smiled. "Activate trap, Shift!"
As the chimera charged at the wolf, a giant hand came out, grabbing Chimera and switching it to Takura's Nockt Eagle and destroying it.
"What the..." Daniel said.
"Now! I can summon this, Spirit Eagle! (0/2600) In defense mode!" Takura announced as the spirit of Nockt Eagle rose up from the ground.
"So what kind of deck does Takura have?" Jess said, turning her head to Devon.
"From the looks, like a Native Spirit Deck. It's strange because I've never heard of a thing like it." Devon said.
"That's it, we need to spend more time here." Mink said.
"Spirit monsters... But they act differently..." Daniel said.
"I hope you've figured out what kind of deck I have now." Takura smiled. "Because it's what I adopted with."
"Oh..." Daniel said. "I'll end my turn from here."
Takura drew his next card. "Now! I activate Spirit Axe, equipping it to Spirit Wolf." Takura announced as a axe appeared in Spirit Wolf's mouth. "It increases my spirit by 600 (2600/1300)"
"Ack.." Daniel said a bit nervous.
"Now! Spirit Wolf attack and destroy Chimera!" Takura announced.
The wolf began charging at the beast, ready to slash at it with the axe in it's mouth. "Activate trap card!" Daniel announced. "Mirror Force!"
A barrier came up, protecting Chimera but the wolf went right through, destroying Chimera and reducing Daniel's life points to 3300.
Takura chuckled. "My Spirit Monsters are unaffected by trap cards." Takura smiled.
"Well that explains why." Daniel moaned. "This is going to be a tough duel..."
"Holy crap. Takura has it made with those monsters." Allen said a bit shocked.
Takura ended his turn and Daniel drew his next card. "Because you've destroyed Chimera, I can chose one of it's fusion material monsters to return so I summon Gazelle! (1500/1200)" Daniel yelled as the beast returned to the field. "I'll then play this, Cost Down! Reducing all monsters in my hand by two levels. So now I'll sacrifice Gazelle to summon Buster Blader! (2600/2300)"
Takura smiled as the warrior formed onto the field. "You've got some strengths." Takura smiled.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Daniel announced.
Takura drew his next card. "Now! I activate Totem!" Takura announced as a giant totem pole rose up from behind him.
"What the?!" Daniel said.
"My kind of Spirit monsters usually takes a living being in order for it to be summoned. But with my field magic card, Totem, I can summon them freely." Takura said. "So now! I sacrifice Spirit Eagle to summon this, Rei- Taurus! (200/300)"
"More Spirit monsters..." Daniel said, amazed.
"Yes. Rei-Taurus' effect allows me to attack directly so now! Attack his life points directly!" Takura announced. The small bull charged at Daniel, bashing him in the chest. Daniel let out a yell, falling to the ground but getting back up. His life points reduced to 3100. "And it allows me to draw a card for each direct attack!"
Takura drew his extra card then ended his turn. "Come on! Get up!" Kai encouraged Daniel from the TV.
Daniel got up, drawing his next card. "Now! Buster Blader attack and destroy his Rei-Taurus!" Daniel called out.
The warrior rose it's sword up and charged at the bull, slashing it with it's sword but the bull just stood there. Daniel looked in shock as the sword had gone right through it.
"That's the great thing about having a deck totally made of spirits. They cannot be attacked physically if there are more other spirits." Takura smiled.
"But then how am I suppose to destroy them..." Daniel asked himself.
"That's what Yore asked." Takura smiled innocently.
Takura was really the strong duelist inside. There seemed to be no stopping his inner strength.
