"So what'll you guys be willing to wager if you lose?" Rex asked.
"How about one rare card from each of the two losing duelists?" Joey suggested.
"Fine with me," Ryan said.
"Yes that's sounds fair," Mako said.
"All right then," Rex said. "So the winner will win two new cards."
The other duelists nodded in agreement and the four duelists drew their first five cards.
"I'll start," Joey said drawing an additional card. "I play Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) in attack mode and I'll put one magic or trap face down ending my turn."
As the metallic warrior appeared, a large card appeared behind it. Gearfried was looking from Rex, to Mako, and Ryan since each one was an enemy to him.
Rex's turn-
"Now I'll go," Rex said drawing his card. "I'll special summon Gilasaurus (1400/400) and I..."
"Not so fast," Joey said flipping his face down card. "I activate Trap Hole, sending any monster summoned with 1000 or more attack points straight to the graveyard!"
As the velociraptor appeared on the field, the floor beneath it began to give way. Suddenly, the floor broke open about to send the dinosaur to the graveyard, but it had leaped up high evading the hole.
"How did that happen?" Joey asked.
"You don't know much about dinosaur cards Wheeler," Rex said. "Gilasaurus has an effect where I can choose for it to be special summoned. And Trap Hole doesn't work on special summoned monsters. You just wasted a good trap card."
"Aw crap," Joey said placing his Trap Hole trap card to the graveyard.
"Now I'll normal summon Mad Sword Beast (1400/1200) in attack mode and end my turn playing the Field Magic card Wasteland, powering up my dinosaurs."
As a rabid styracosaurus with a sharp metal dagger on the end of his snout materialized and appeared by Rex's Gilasaurus. The white room changed greatly, transforming into a rocky, barren expanse of wilderness, dotted here and there by dead shrubs.
"Whoa cool," Joey said looking at the new surroundings. "Virtual Reality to the extreme."
"That makes Gilasaurus a 1900/900, and Mad Sword Beast a 1950/1700. Too bad none of us can attack the first turn. Wheeler would've lost a nice chunk of life points then." Rex said as his dinosaurs pawed at the ground feeling more at home.
"Dream on Raptor," Joey told him. "I'd like to see you attack me."
"Just wait until next turn," Rex said as if he had a plan up his sleeve.
Ryan's turn-
"Now I'll go," Ryan said drawing his card. "I play two cards face down and I'll summon Helping Robo for Combat (1600/0) in attack mode, ending my turn."
As the two cards appeared defending the red-haired duelist, a primitive looking robot appeared. On its left arm was a frying pan in its right was a vacuum hose and on its back was a metal basket holding different pieces of scrap metal.
Mako's turn-
"Well now it is my turn," Mako said drawing a sixth card. "I'll first play the Field Magic card, Umi!"
Suddenly, a huge wave rose from behind Mako and crashed onto the field. Suddenly Rex's Wasteland shrunk in size and the ruined land turned into a wasteland island. The same went for everyone else and they were all on small pieces of dead land.
"That isn't all," Mako said. "I play the catch of the day, 7 Colored Fish (1800/800) in attack mode."
As the rainbow colored fish appeared, it dove into the water and raising its head to face its opponents.
"From Umi, 7 Colored Fish's attack and defense rise to 2300/1300. Plus it decreases all Pyro and Machine type's attack and defense by 200." Mako said.
Suddenly, Ryan's Helping Robo for Combat got a bit rusty from the sea breeze of Umi.
"And I'll end my turn playing one card face down." Mako said placing the card in an empty slot on his Duel Disk.
Joey's turn-
"Okay now it's time to do some damage," Joey said drawing his card and looking at the monsters played on the field. "All right I play Garoozis (1800/1500) in attack mode and I'll play the Magic card, Shield and Sword. Now everyone's monsters attack and defense switch with each other. That makes Gearfried a 1600 and Garoozis 1500."
Ryan's cool head went worried now that his machine monster's attack power was now at zero.
"Now Garoozis, attack 7 Colored Fish, Five Way Slash!" Joey shouted pointing to Mako's monster.
The dragon-headed beast-warrior obeyed and jumped off Joey's wasteland island and landed in shallow water near Mako's rainbow fish. Garoozis then rose up his axe to turn the fish into sushi.
"Activate Tornado Wall!" Mako said and a mighty wind blew around him.
The winds picked up faster and faster. When Garoozis still swung his axe around forming a pentagram and slashing the fish into sushi. As soon as the fish died, the winds picked up Garoozis and threw him around.
"What was that?" Joey questioned as his dragon-headed monster returned to his part of the field.
"Forgot about my Tornado Wall?" Mako asked as the winds continued to blow around him. "It reduces any damage to my life points to zero."
"Aw damn," Joey said but then turned his eye to Rex. "Well I still have you. And with Shield and Sword still in play, your dinos are still pretty weak."
"Go for it," Rex joked.
"Go Gearfried. Attack Rex's Gilasaurus, Iron Blade Strike!" Joey ordered and his metallic knight jumped up and came crashing down slicing Rex's velociraptor down its neck, sending it to the graveyard.
"So much for your raptor, Raptor," Joey joked.
"Ha, ha," Rex laughed sarcastically. "You done yet? My dinos are hungry!"
"Yeah I'm done," Joey said.
Joey: 8000
Rex: 7300
Ryan: 8000
Mako: 8000
Rex's turn-
Rex drew his card and smirked over at Joey, "Heh, heh. I play one card face down and I'll play Gagagigo (1850/1000) in attack mode. Go Gagagigo, attack Garoozis!"
The reptilian warrior obeyed by swimming through the water and rose out slashing at the dragon-headed monster. Garoozis tried to block with its axe, but the reptile's claws broke threw slashing at its face, sending him to the graveyard.
"That's not all," Rex said to Joey but then turned to Ryan. "Go, Mad Sword Beast, attack Helping Robo for Combat, Horn Skewer!"
The styracosaurus roared and ran right off the wasteland island running through the shallow water and arriving to Ryan's side of the field. As the curved metal horn was about to drive in the primitive robot's chest, Ryan flipped one of his face down cards.
"Activate trap card, Sakuretsu Armor!" Suddenly, Ryan's Helping Robo was covered in silver armor. The armor unleashed a force of energy around the primitive robot and as Rex's Mad Sword Beast arrived, the rabid dinosaur drove it sword to impale the machine. However the armor's force broke the Mad Sword Beast's horn clear off sending it to the graveyard.
"Sakuretsu Armor destroys any one of your attacking monsters," Ryan said. "So My Robo is safe."
"That's what you think," Rex said flipping his face down card. "I activate Michizure!"
As Rex's Mad Sword began to fade from the field, a piece of land on Ryan's side of the field holding his Helping Robo sunk into the sea and into the graveyard.
"Whenever one of my monsters is sent to the graveyard, I can activate Michizure which can destroy any monster on the field," Rex said.
'So Rex is using some trap cards besides all dinosaurs,' Joey thought. 'I'd better watch out for some of those then.'
"That'll end my turn," Rex said to Ryan.
Ryan's turn-
Ryan had a frustrated look on his face as he looked at his hand.
When he drew his card he sighed with relief. "I play one card face down, and I'll play Sapphire Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode!"
The beautiful sapphire dragon appeared on the field and looked on towards its opposing monsters, reluctant to fight them.
"Wow," Joey said marveling at the card. "Nice card, Ryan."
Ryan ignored Joey's comment and continued his turn, "And I'll attack your Gagagigo, Raptor. Go Sapphire Dragon, avenge Helping Robo. Sapphire Blaze!"
The blue dragon took flight and flew toward Rex's reptile warrior. It breathed a river of blue fire towards it, burning Gagagigo to a crisp.
"That'll do it for me," Ryan said ending his turn.
Joey: 8000
Rex: 7250
Ryan: 8000
Mako: 8000
Mako's turn-
"Well I see no one's attacking," Mako said drawing his card. "Why change a good thing? I play one card face down, ending my turn."
Joey's turn-
"Well it's time someone did some real damage and you Raptor are wide open," Joey said drawing his card.
Rex got nervous at what he heard.
"Yeah you should be worried," Joey said to him. "All right, I'll put one card face down and I'll summon Alligator's Sword (1500/1200) and I'll..."
"Sorry Joey," Mako said flipping his face down card. "I activate Torrential Tribute! That wipes out every monster on the field."
Another huge wave appeared towering over Mako. This one however crashed into all the monsters on the field sending them all directly to the graveyard.
"Then I'll end my turn," Joey said seeing no more that he could do.
Rex's turn-
"Well Wheeler," Rex said with a smile. "It seems the tables have turned. Thanks Mako."
"Don't mention it," Mako said giving him a thumbs up.
"Well I'll first play Pot of Greed letting me draw two more cards," Rex said drawing two more cards. "Well this is gonna hurt Wheeler. I first play another Mad Sword Beast (1400/1200) but from the Wasteland field, he becomes a 1900/1200. But his power won't stop there. I'll equip with Gravity Axe increasing his attack to 2400."
As another styracosaurus materialized to the field, its sharp metal horn was replaced by an Axe Blade. The axe blade gave off an eerie green glow as the monster pointed its new weapon towards Joey.
"But that isn't all," Rex said to Joey. "I hold in my hand one of the strongest dinosaurs in the game. I play Guardian Grarl (2500/1000)!"
As Rex played the monster card on the field, a dinosaur-like person appeared. Resembling like a tyrannosaurus, this monster had bulging muscles wielding a large battleaxe and blood red eyes.
"I can special summon if this is the only card in my hand and if I have Gravity Axe on the field. From the Wasteland, Grarl's attack and defense rise to 3000/2000!" Rex said proudly. "Now Grarl, Mad Sword Beast! Attack Wheeler's life points directly!"
As the two dinosaurs obeyed, they crossed the sea of the field card Umi with ease. And as they arrived to Joey's portion of the field they were ready to strike him down.
"Not so fast," Joey said flipping his face down card. "I activate Scapegoat!"
Four different colored goats appeared on Joey's side of the field to defend him.
Grarl lifted up his battleaxe and slammed it on the pink goat splitting it in two and into the graveyard.
"Well that doesn't help you from Mad Sword Beast's assault," Rex told Joey.
Mad Sword Beast turned its head and swung the across the yellow goat and a force of gravity hit Joey directly for 2400 damage.
"That ends my turn," Rex said.
Joey: 5600
Rex: 7250
Ryan: 8000
Mako: 8000
Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew his card, looked over at Rex's monsters, then at Mako's side of the field. "I play Makyura the Destructor (1600/1200) in attack mode and I'll have him attack one of your goats, Wheeler."
As the triple-clawed dark warrior appeared, it turned to the left and leaped over to Joey's side of the field. It landed down and slashed the blue goat, sending it to the graveyard.
"Hey!" Joey shouted. "What was that for?"
Ryan ignored Joey and announced, "I'll end my turn."
Mako's turn-
"Well I can't rely on my Tornado Wall forever," Mako said drawing a card. "I play Giant Red Seasnake (1800/800) from Umi, his stats increase to 2300/1300 and I'll have him attack your monster, Ryan."
As the red aqua monster appeared on the field, it dove into the water swimming towards Makyura. The Seasnake rose out from the water roaring at Makyura. It dove towards the dark warrior, devoured it whole and swam back to Mako's side of the field.
"Thanks Mako," Ryan said smiling. "You activate Makyura's special ability. When he's sent to the graveyard, I can play a trap card from my hand.
Ryan played the only card in his hand on an empty slot on the field and said, "And I'll play the trap card Sixth Sense!"
As Ryan played the card he pulled out a dice and threw it to Joey. "Now I pick 2 numbers between one and six. You Joey roll the dice. If the dice lands on either of the numbers I picked, I draw that many cards. If I choose wrong, I discard that many cards from my deck equal to the number. I choose the numbers five and six. Now roll Joey."
"Okay," Joey said as he caught the dice and rolled the dice.
The dice hit the ground and rolled several times. When it stopped, it landed on a five.
"All right," Ryan said drawing five cards. "Sixth Sense does work."
"Then that ends my turn," Mako said.
Joey: 5600
Rex: 7250
Ryan: 7300
Mako: 8000
Joey's turn-
As Joey drew his card he looked at his hand then thought to himself, 'Why did Ryan destroy one of my scapegoats? Hey wait! That's why.'
"Okay here I go," Joey said. "I first play Panther Warrior (2000/1600) in attack mode. Then, I'll play the magic card Graceful Dice."
As Joey played the card, a little man with a winged top hat held a blue dice about twice as big as he was. Then the small man dropped the dice and it rolled several times. When it stopped it landed on a six.
"All right!" Joey exclaimed. "That increases my Panther Warrior's attack to 2600/2200. And by sacrificing my scapegoat, I can have him attack. And I'll attack your Mad Sword Beast, Rex!"
As the final red scapegoat's energy went into Panther Warrior's blade, the feral beast-warrior charged towards Rex's axe-horned dinosaur. As Panther Warrior arrived, it slashed Mad Sword Beast in two. Then the beast-warrior returned to Joey's side of the field.
'I see what Ryan was doing,' Joey thought. 'My scapegoats are exactly what Raptor wanted. So Ryan got rid of one knowing it'd basically be a direct attack for Rex's trampling Dinos. So maybe he is trying to help me out.'
"And I'll end my turn," Joey announced.
Joey: 5600
Rex: 7050
Ryan: 7300
Mako: 8000
Rex's turn-
As Rex drew his card, he seemed really secure, "This is gonna hurt. The ice age was unlivable for dinosaurs and it's no place for you either, Stone. I play Cold Wave!"
As Rex played the magic card, everyone's magic and trap cards were covered in ice.
"Until my next turn, none of us can set or play magic or trap cards. And now I'll attack your life points directly, Stone. Go Grarl, Battleaxe Assault!" Rex shouted as his tyrannosaurus charged towards Ryan, slamming his axe into him for 3000 points of direct damage.
"That ends my turn," Rex said smugly.
Joey: 5600
Rex: 7050
Ryan: 4300
Mako: 8000
Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew his card giving him six, but with Rex's Cold Wave in effect, a multitude of his cards were unusable. He looked at the cards in his hand and wondered on what to do...
"How about one rare card from each of the two losing duelists?" Joey suggested.
"Fine with me," Ryan said.
"Yes that's sounds fair," Mako said.
"All right then," Rex said. "So the winner will win two new cards."

"Whoa cool," Joey said looking at the new surroundings. "Virtual Reality to the extreme."
"That makes Gilasaurus a 1900/900, and Mad Sword Beast a 1950/1700. Too bad none of us can attack the first turn. Wheeler would've lost a nice chunk of life points then." Rex said as his dinosaurs pawed at the ground feeling more at home.
