"Could you hurry up, already?" Rex said impatiently on Ryan who had been
thinking of what to do for about four minutes.
"Don't rush me," Ryan said looking at his cards then finally made a decision. "I play Thunder Nyan Nyan (1900/900) in attack mode and from Umi, her stats are raised to 2400/1400."
As the female electric drummer appeared, she began playing a tune on her drums.
"Now Thunder Nyan Nyan, attack Mako's seasnake, Electro Shockwave!" Ryan shouted.
The drummer obeyed and slammed her drumsticks on one drum unleashing a sound wave of electric energy directly towards Mako's Giant Red Seasnake but as it did, Mako's Tornado Wall took effect surrounding him in a thick barrier of wind. The electric wave of energy hit Mako's monster scorching it but it did no damage to Mako's life points.
"Thanks to Tornado Wall, no matter how strong the damage is dealt to me I will feel none of it." Mako said as the Tornado Wall faded.
"Since there's nothing else I can do, I'll end my turn." Ryan said.
Mako's turn-
As Mako drew his card, he said, "I'll play one card face down in defense mode and I'll end my turn."
Joey's turn-
As Joey drew his card, he looked at his hand and thought to himself, 'Warrior Dai Grepher, Polymerization, and Baby Dragon... hmm.
"Are you finished, Wheeler?" Rex asked. "Grarl's hungry for some panther!"
"Alright Rex," Joey said. "I play one magic or trap card face down and I'll play one card face down in defense mode, ending my turn."
Rex's turn-
"Nice defensive strategy Wheeler..." Rex said drawing his card. "But you forgot to put your Panther Warrior to defense mode!"
'That's right, attack my monster..." Joey thought.
"First I'll play one card face down..." Rex began, "And I'll have Grarl attack with Battleaxe Assault!"
As Rex's Tyrannosaur lifted up his axe, he charged towards Joey's feral beast-warrior and as he was about to strike Panther Warrior down, Joey acted.
"I activate, Chained Boomerang!" Joey said flipping the card he played on his first turn as a steel boomerang held by a chain tied around Panther Warrior's right arm materialized. "Not only does that increase my Panther Warrior's attack by 2500, but it also switches your Grarl to defense mode."
As the chain was about to ensnare Rex's axe-wielding tyrannosaurus, it was his turn to react.
"Sorry Joey," Rex said flipping his face down card. "I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit! By paying 1000 life points, I can negate and destroy a trap card. So say goodbye to your Chained Boomerang!"
It was so. Before the chain could bind Guardian Grarl, it faded from the field and sent to the graveyard. As it faded, Grarl continued with his attack axing Panther Warrior, splitting his torso in two before vanishing from the field.
'Aw man,' Joey thought. 'I forgot. Rex is using traps to give his dinosaurs more defense. He might have something else up his sleeve.'
"That'll end my turn," Rex said.
Joey: 4600
Rex: 6050
Ryan: 4300
Mako: 8000
Ryan's turn-
"Well Mako," Ryan said to him drawing his card. "Your Tornado Wall's comin down. I play Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying Umi and when it goes to the graveyard, so does Tornado Wall."
A mighty wind came down and blew away Mako's field card on the field causing the entire field to dry up of water and what remained was Rex's Wasteland.
"You like direct attacks, right Rex?" Ryan asked him. "Well I first play Drillago (1600/1100) in attack mode. Having a non-light monster on the field sends Thunder Nyan Nyan to the graveyard And with his effect, he can attack my opponent's life points directly if they control all face up monsters and they have 1600 or more attack points. So Rex, I'll attack you directly for 1600. Go Drillago, Drill Tunnel!"
As Thunder Nyan Nyan faded from the field and to the graveyard, Ryan's drill-clad machine obeyed as the drills all over its body whirred as it dug deep into the ground. When it arose from the ground, it was behind Rex's Guardian Grarl. The machine struck Rex with a drill punch to his chest for 1600 direct damage. After it attacked, it entered the tunnel and returned to Ryan's side of the field.
"I'll end my turn now," Ryan said pretty content.
Joey: 4600
Rex: 5450
Ryan: 4300
Mako: 8000
Mako's turn-
"I'm not sure why you're so happy," Mako said drawing his card. "You should've attacked while you had the chance."
"Is that so?" Ryan asked him.
"Yes and you'll see right here," Mako said. "I first play Aqua Madoor (1200/2000) in attack mode and I'll flip my face down monster, Island Turtle. And now I'll play the ritual card, Turtle Oath!"
As Mako played the ritual card, Aqua Madoor and Island Turtle faded and left their souls behind. Their souls were placed into an odd spherical, hard-shelled relic and were placed in a small stream. The stream carried out of the duel and it seemed to have left with out a trace. But that was far from the truth. Seconds later, a huge wave arrived hitting the wasteland. When the water vanished, what remained was an enormous crustacean with two powerful claws and protected in a hard shell.
"It summons Crab Turtle (2550/2500)!" Mako proclaimed. "But I'm not yet finished. I'll play the field card, Umiiruka!"
As Mako played his second field card, the ocean returned and every duelist was on their own portion of a wasteland island. However this ocean wasn't as gentle as Umi. Powerful waves rose up all around and showed now signs of stopping. Mako's Crab Turtle quickly left the island and entered the raging ocean and was strong enough to endure the waves.
"From the new Duelist Kingdom rules, Umiiruka will raise all Water monsters' attack by 750 and decrease their defense by 500." Mako said. "That makes Crab Turtle 3300/2000. Now, Crab Turtle. Attack Ryan's Drillago, Torrent Claw!"
As waves rose up, Mako's Crab Turtle swam through the water. A big wave gathered at Ryan's side of the field and in the wave was Crab Turtle, ready to attack. As the wave crashed along Ryan's portion of the field, Crab Turtle took Drillago with him and dismantled him with his mighty claws. The remains of Drillago sunk to the bottom of the sea and into the graveyard.
"That ends my turn," Mako said.
Joey: 4600
Rex: 5450
Ryan: 2600
Mako: 8000
Joey's turn-
'Oh man,' Joey thought. 'Now Mako's got a tough monster out and he hasn't even lost a life point yet. I could attack Rex's dinosaur, but that'd leave me open for Mako's monster. Agh, what to do?'
When Joey drew his card, his answers were solved.
"Yes!" he shouted. "I'll first flip my face down card, Baby Dragon (1200/700) in attack mode. And I'll play Time Wizard (500/400)!"
As his face down card revealed the youthfulness of Baby Dragon, Time Wizard appeared in between Panther Warrior and Baby Dragon.
"If Time Roulette lands on a Time Machine, it'll wipe out everyone but my monsters on the field. But if you think that's worse, it'll also turn my Baby Dragon into a powerful Thousand Dragon. Now spin, Time Roulette!" Joey said to his Time Wizard.
The spellcaster of time obeyed and the arrow on his wand began to rotate clockwise.
Rex had felt the pain from Time Wizard before, and it was what defeated him in his duel with Joey. From this memory Rex got nervous.
As it continued to spin, it showed no signs of slowing down. But after ten more seconds, it slowed down and as the arrow stopped and landed on a...
"Skull?!" Joey shouted in horror as he saw his plan backfire.
"Skull!" Rex shouted in joy at the same time Joey shouted.
Time Wizard did its lesser effect. A hole in time appeared above Joey's monsters and all three of them were sucked in and sent to the graveyard and half of their total attack was deducted from Joey's life points.
"No..." Joey said as his life points plunged by 1800 and he was open for a direct attack. "I'll end my turn."
Joey: 2800
Rex: 5450
Ryan: 2600
Mako: 8000
Rex's turn-
"Well Wheeler," Rex began as he drew his card. "Looks like you're not the luckiest person after all. I only need one more dinosaur to really wipe you out
When Rex looked at his card, he responded, "Damn, looks like you still have some luck."
Joey let out a sigh of relief from what he heard.
"Well I guess I could just wipe you out with Grarl," Rex said. "I'll switch him to attack mode and..."
'Oh no!' Joey screamed in his mind. 'What do I do? What do I do!? All's I got face down is Polymerization! That can't help me! I'm outta the tournament! What do I do!? What do I—that's it!"
"Go Guardian Grarl!" Rex shouted. "Attack Wheeler! Wipe him out, Battleaxe Assault!"
As the Tyrannosaurus obeyed and lifted up his axe and running through the waters of Umiiruka to axe Joey out of the tournament.
Joey smirked and said, "You sure you want to attack?"
Joey placed his right hand on the face down card as if to about to activate Polymerization as if it was a trap card.
"What's that?" Rex asked.
"I can't say that's a smart move," Joey said. "But if you like getting booted out of the tournament during the preliminaries, go ahead. Attack me."
Grarl was almost out of the raging waves of Umiiruka and ready to chop Joey up.
"Nice try Wheeler," Rex said smugly. "That's the lamest trick in the book."
"Good for you Raptor," Joey told him. "Trust your instincts over common sense."
Rex began to go through a battle of decisions in his mind.
"I'm going with my instincts," Rex said. "Later Wheeler. See you next tournament."
Joey sighed and pulled the card out of the slot to activate the card.
"Wait!!!" Rex shouted. "Grarl! Stop!"
As Grarl was about swing his axe towards Joey's neck. He stopped an inch before hitting Joey.
"Phew," Rex said sighing with relief.
'I can't believe that worked," Joey thought looking at the card he faked to pull out. 'Dai Grepher, you just saved my ass.'
"Instead," Rex announced. "I'll attack you, Stone. Go Guardian Grarl, attack Stone directly!"
The axe-wielding Tyrannosaur turned towards Ryan and charged at him through the water to hit him at full force.
"Sorry Raptor," Ryan said activating his trap before Rex could stop. "I activate my trap card, Negate Attack!"
When Grarl arrived and struck his axe at Ryan, a dimension sucked in the blade twisting it around, and negating the attack. Hence the name of the trap card.
"Then I'll end my turn," Rex said frustratingly.
Ryan's turn-
When Ryan drew his card and looked at it, he wasn't worried at all by Mako's monster.
"I play Satellite Cannon (0/0) in attack mode," Ryan said placing another machine card on the field.
As soon as Ryan placed the card on the field, a space shuttle appeared. It was launched high into the sky carrying with it a large piece of metal cargo.
The metal cargo was released and it began to unravel. Four long metal poles extended out and from them unleashed solar panels. It began to stretch and extend forming a point at the end. In the middle of the machine two long metal panels extended out and began rotating. The point of the device opened up forming a cannon. It orbited high in the sky, out of reach of most anything.
'Hey, I remember that card,' Joey thought. 'Kaiba had to take on that machine when we were dueling the Big 5. And its power gets stronger after each turn.'
"And I'll end my turn," Ryan said. "But each time I end my turn, Satellite Cannon's attack increases by 1000."
Mako's turn-
As Mako drew his card, he pondered on who to attack.
'Joey doesn't have any monsters but who knows what that face down card could be. However I can't let that Satellite Cannon get any stronger,' Mako thought.
"Okay," Mako said firm on his decision. "I'll send Crab Turtle to attack... you Ryan. Attack his Satellite Cannon, Crab Turtle! Torrent Claw!"
Crab Turtle dove into the raging ocean and generated a whirlpool. The whirlpool was so powerful it took up the entire dueling arena. Crab Turtle used the powerful momentum and shot out of the ocean and into the sky. As the enormous crustacean closed in on Satellite Cannon, he prepared his claws to bring the ship down and dismantle it.
"I don't think so," Ryan said flipping his last face down card. "I'll activate Magic Cylinder, sending your attack right back at you for 3300 direct damage."
As Crab Turtle arrived into the stratosphere it was taking a nonstop course towards Satellite Cannon. However, a large cylinder leading into darkness sucked Crab Turtle in. Then, another cylinder appeared pointing down towards Mako. The second cylinder unleashed Crab Turtle and he fell like a meteor down on Mako for a devastating 3300 direct damage.
Crab Turtle survived the blow and went into the ocean and felt restored.
"You'll pay for that," Mako said to Ryan. "And I'll end my turn."
Joey: 2800
Rex: 5450
Ryan: 2600
Mako: 4700
Joey's turn-
"Okay time for me to get the ball rolling," Joey said drawing his card. "I play Pot of Greed. Now I'll draw two more cards and..."
The first card Joey drew was Blast with Chain. The second card he drew was Spirit Ryu (1000/1000) but that made him think to himself, 'Spirit Ryu? Why'd I put this in here? I don't have that many dragons in my deck. I must've put in by mistake. Hey wait! I think Dai Grepher and Spirit Ryu are used in something. But I can't remember what. Was it a fusion? Well time to try it out.'
"Alright," Joey began, "I flip my face down card, Polymerization. And I'll fuse the two monsters in my hand, Warrior Dai Grepher and Spirit Ryu!"
The fusion was successful and the two cards appeared on the field and Spirit Ryu merged with Dai Grepher. The result looked like Dai Grepher but his head and shoulders were covered by Spirit Ryu as a form of armor.
"The result makes Ryu Senshi," Ryan told Joey. "It's a 2000/1200."
"Good enough for me," Joey said. "And I'll end my turn playing one card face down."
Rex's turn-
As Rex drew his card, he was in a moment of deep thought.
"Okay," he began. "I'll have Guardian Grarl attack your Ryu Senshi, Wheeler! Battle Axe Assault!"
As the humanoid tyrannosaur lifted up his axe and charged towards Joey's dragon warrior.
"Well at least I won't have as much life points lost," Joey said activating his trap card. "But I activate Blast with Chain, increasing his attack by 2500."
As several sticks of dynamite tied together by a chain materialized on Ryu Senshi's right forearm, he quickly tore it off. Suddenly the fuse on the stick of dynamite was lit.
"Either you're a great strategist," Ryan told Joey. "Or a lucky fool."
"What do you mean?" Joey asked.
"When Blast with Chain is destroyed by a card effect, it can destroy any card on the field," Ryan told him.
"But what card effect?" Joey asked.
Ryan hit his forehead, "Ryu Senshi can't be equipped with any Equip Magic cards. They're automatically destroyed."
"Oh cool," Joey said then turned his attention to Rex. "With Blast with Chain's effect, I'll destroy Guardian Grarl."
As Grarl was close to Ryu Senshi, the dragon warrior threw the stick of dynamite at the axe wielding Tyrannosaur. It hit Grarl on the chest and seconds later exploded with a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Grarl was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it," Rex said placing one of his strongest cards to the graveyard. "I'll end my turn."
Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew his card and knew exactly what to do.
"I'll play two cards face down, and I'll bring out Reflect Bounder (1700/1000) in attack mode," Ryan announced. "And I'll have it attack your life points directly, Rex."
As the mirrored machine appeared on the field, the mirror on its chest fired a blinding white blast of light directly at Rex.
"Then I'll end my turn," Ryan said. "And as I do, Satellite Cannon's power rises to 2000."
Joey: 2800
Rex: 3750
Ryan: 2600
Mako: 4700
Mako's turn-
"Your Satellite Cannon's power stops here," Mako said drawing his card. "I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon, to destroy the first card you played face down."
As Mako played his magic card, a great wind emerged from the sky and destroyed Ryan's Limiter Removal.
"Aw damn it," Ryan groaned sending the magic card to the graveyard.
"That would've made your monsters untouchable by Crab Turtle," Mako said. "But not any more. Now I'll destroy your Satellite Cannon with Crab Turtle. Go Crab Turtle! Torrent Claw!"
Crab Turtle dove deep in the water again and generated a powerful whirlpool. As Crab Turtle launched itself out of the water, it shot towards Satellite Cannon.
"Activate Trap Card," Ryan said activating his last face down card. "Shift!"
As Crab Turtle continued towards Satellite Cannon, it vanished and was replaced by Reflect Bounder.
"Oh no!" Mako shouted.
As Crab Turtle pulled back its claws to strike, Reflect Bounder acted first by creating a mirror image of Crab Turtle. The mirror image plunged down and struck Mako directly for 3300 damage. The original Crab Turtle clamped on to Reflect Bounder and ripped it up, turning it into scrap metal. Then Crab Turtle landed back in the waves of Umiiruka, unharmed.
"I'll end my turn," Mako said in deep frustration.
Joey: 2800
Rex: 3750
Ryan: 1000
Mako: 1400
Joey's turn-
'Man,' Joey thought to himself. 'Ryan's always has got somethin' up his sleeve.'
Then Joey drew his card and smirked over to Rex.
"I'll play one card face down, and you have no monsters to defend you." Joey stated obviously. "Go Ryu Senshi, attack Rex directly. Dragon Blade Slash!"
The dragon warrior gripped his sword tightly and ran through the waters and arrived over to Rex. The warrior then virtually slashed Rex across the chest for 2000 direct damage.
"Your turn," Joey told Rex.
Joey: 2800
Rex: 1750
Ryan: 1000
Mako: 1400
Rex's turn-
When Rex drew his card, he began laughing.
"Hey what's so funny?" Joey asked.
"I now hold in my hand the strongest Dinosaur in my deck!" Rex told him. "I'll first play Guranadora (1900/1700) in attack mode."
A reptilian monster with several spikes protruding out of its back and huge fangs out of its mouth.
"As soon as he's summoned, I gain 1000 life points to put me at 2750," Rex said. "But here's what's gonna be the beginning of your defeat, Wheeler! I play the magic card, Super Evolution Medicine and by sacrificing a reptile on my side of the field, I can bring out a Dinosaur from my hand. And I'll bring out Dark Tyrano (2600/1800) in attack mode!"
As soon as Rex played Super Evolution Medicine, Guranadora began to evolve. The spikes on its body sunk in to its bones and its brown pigment changed to black. Its feet and legs grew several feet higher; its tail extended and was about nine feet long, its bladelike arms turned into small claws, but its head changed with massive jaws and teeth to rip its opponent to shreds. Several purple marks appeared all over but black was still the primary color. When the evolution ended, the result was a tyrannosaurus rex.
"Behold my Dark Tyrano!" Rex shouted with pride. "Now Dark Tyrano, attack Wheeler's Ryu Senshi, go get your dinner!"
The tyrannosaurus obeyed and charged towards Joey's Dragon Warrior to wipe out the last of his monsters...
NOTE: As you all may have read, I used the show's way of summoning Thousand Dragon. It isn't really fun to just fuse two monsters together, unlike the heart pounding fate of Time Roulette.
Also, the show seems to have the characters play fusion monsters but they just seem to appear and don't get the actual fusion cards out of their fusion decks. If they have any of the actual fusion cards, the show has a hard time of showing it.
"Don't rush me," Ryan said looking at his cards then finally made a decision. "I play Thunder Nyan Nyan (1900/900) in attack mode and from Umi, her stats are raised to 2400/1400."
As the female electric drummer appeared, she began playing a tune on her drums.
"Now Thunder Nyan Nyan, attack Mako's seasnake, Electro Shockwave!" Ryan shouted.
The drummer obeyed and slammed her drumsticks on one drum unleashing a sound wave of electric energy directly towards Mako's Giant Red Seasnake but as it did, Mako's Tornado Wall took effect surrounding him in a thick barrier of wind. The electric wave of energy hit Mako's monster scorching it but it did no damage to Mako's life points.
"Thanks to Tornado Wall, no matter how strong the damage is dealt to me I will feel none of it." Mako said as the Tornado Wall faded.
"Since there's nothing else I can do, I'll end my turn." Ryan said.
Mako's turn-
As Mako drew his card, he said, "I'll play one card face down in defense mode and I'll end my turn."
Joey's turn-
As Joey drew his card, he looked at his hand and thought to himself, 'Warrior Dai Grepher, Polymerization, and Baby Dragon... hmm.
"Are you finished, Wheeler?" Rex asked. "Grarl's hungry for some panther!"
"Alright Rex," Joey said. "I play one magic or trap card face down and I'll play one card face down in defense mode, ending my turn."
Rex's turn-
"Nice defensive strategy Wheeler..." Rex said drawing his card. "But you forgot to put your Panther Warrior to defense mode!"
'That's right, attack my monster..." Joey thought.
"First I'll play one card face down..." Rex began, "And I'll have Grarl attack with Battleaxe Assault!"
As Rex's Tyrannosaur lifted up his axe, he charged towards Joey's feral beast-warrior and as he was about to strike Panther Warrior down, Joey acted.

It was so. Before the chain could bind Guardian Grarl, it faded from the field and sent to the graveyard. As it faded, Grarl continued with his attack axing Panther Warrior, splitting his torso in two before vanishing from the field.
'Aw man,' Joey thought. 'I forgot. Rex is using traps to give his dinosaurs more defense. He might have something else up his sleeve.'
"That'll end my turn," Rex said.
Joey: 4600
Rex: 6050
Ryan: 4300
Mako: 8000
Ryan's turn-
"Well Mako," Ryan said to him drawing his card. "Your Tornado Wall's comin down. I play Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying Umi and when it goes to the graveyard, so does Tornado Wall."
A mighty wind came down and blew away Mako's field card on the field causing the entire field to dry up of water and what remained was Rex's Wasteland.
"You like direct attacks, right Rex?" Ryan asked him. "Well I first play Drillago (1600/1100) in attack mode. Having a non-light monster on the field sends Thunder Nyan Nyan to the graveyard And with his effect, he can attack my opponent's life points directly if they control all face up monsters and they have 1600 or more attack points. So Rex, I'll attack you directly for 1600. Go Drillago, Drill Tunnel!"
As Thunder Nyan Nyan faded from the field and to the graveyard, Ryan's drill-clad machine obeyed as the drills all over its body whirred as it dug deep into the ground. When it arose from the ground, it was behind Rex's Guardian Grarl. The machine struck Rex with a drill punch to his chest for 1600 direct damage. After it attacked, it entered the tunnel and returned to Ryan's side of the field.

When Joey drew his card, his answers were solved.
"Yes!" he shouted. "I'll first flip my face down card, Baby Dragon (1200/700) in attack mode. And I'll play Time Wizard (500/400)!"
As his face down card revealed the youthfulness of Baby Dragon, Time Wizard appeared in between Panther Warrior and Baby Dragon.

As the Tyrannosaurus obeyed and lifted up his axe and running through the waters of Umiiruka to axe Joey out of the tournament.
Joey smirked and said, "You sure you want to attack?"
Joey placed his right hand on the face down card as if to about to activate Polymerization as if it was a trap card.

As soon as Ryan placed the card on the field, a space shuttle appeared. It was launched high into the sky carrying with it a large piece of metal cargo.
The metal cargo was released and it began to unravel. Four long metal poles extended out and from them unleashed solar panels. It began to stretch and extend forming a point at the end. In the middle of the machine two long metal panels extended out and began rotating. The point of the device opened up forming a cannon. It orbited high in the sky, out of reach of most anything.
'Hey, I remember that card,' Joey thought. 'Kaiba had to take on that machine when we were dueling the Big 5. And its power gets stronger after each turn.'
"And I'll end my turn," Ryan said. "But each time I end my turn, Satellite Cannon's attack increases by 1000."
Mako's turn-
As Mako drew his card, he pondered on who to attack.
'Joey doesn't have any monsters but who knows what that face down card could be. However I can't let that Satellite Cannon get any stronger,' Mako thought.
"Okay," Mako said firm on his decision. "I'll send Crab Turtle to attack... you Ryan. Attack his Satellite Cannon, Crab Turtle! Torrent Claw!"
Crab Turtle dove into the raging ocean and generated a whirlpool. The whirlpool was so powerful it took up the entire dueling arena. Crab Turtle used the powerful momentum and shot out of the ocean and into the sky. As the enormous crustacean closed in on Satellite Cannon, he prepared his claws to bring the ship down and dismantle it.
"I don't think so," Ryan said flipping his last face down card. "I'll activate Magic Cylinder, sending your attack right back at you for 3300 direct damage."
As Crab Turtle arrived into the stratosphere it was taking a nonstop course towards Satellite Cannon. However, a large cylinder leading into darkness sucked Crab Turtle in. Then, another cylinder appeared pointing down towards Mako. The second cylinder unleashed Crab Turtle and he fell like a meteor down on Mako for a devastating 3300 direct damage.
Crab Turtle survived the blow and went into the ocean and felt restored.
"You'll pay for that," Mako said to Ryan. "And I'll end my turn."
Joey: 2800
Rex: 5450
Ryan: 2600
Mako: 4700
Joey's turn-
"Okay time for me to get the ball rolling," Joey said drawing his card. "I play Pot of Greed. Now I'll draw two more cards and..."
The first card Joey drew was Blast with Chain. The second card he drew was Spirit Ryu (1000/1000) but that made him think to himself, 'Spirit Ryu? Why'd I put this in here? I don't have that many dragons in my deck. I must've put in by mistake. Hey wait! I think Dai Grepher and Spirit Ryu are used in something. But I can't remember what. Was it a fusion? Well time to try it out.'
"Alright," Joey began, "I flip my face down card, Polymerization. And I'll fuse the two monsters in my hand, Warrior Dai Grepher and Spirit Ryu!"
The fusion was successful and the two cards appeared on the field and Spirit Ryu merged with Dai Grepher. The result looked like Dai Grepher but his head and shoulders were covered by Spirit Ryu as a form of armor.
"The result makes Ryu Senshi," Ryan told Joey. "It's a 2000/1200."
"Good enough for me," Joey said. "And I'll end my turn playing one card face down."
Rex's turn-
As Rex drew his card, he was in a moment of deep thought.
"Okay," he began. "I'll have Guardian Grarl attack your Ryu Senshi, Wheeler! Battle Axe Assault!"
As the humanoid tyrannosaur lifted up his axe and charged towards Joey's dragon warrior.
"Well at least I won't have as much life points lost," Joey said activating his trap card. "But I activate Blast with Chain, increasing his attack by 2500."
As several sticks of dynamite tied together by a chain materialized on Ryu Senshi's right forearm, he quickly tore it off. Suddenly the fuse on the stick of dynamite was lit.
"Either you're a great strategist," Ryan told Joey. "Or a lucky fool."
"What do you mean?" Joey asked.
"When Blast with Chain is destroyed by a card effect, it can destroy any card on the field," Ryan told him.
"But what card effect?" Joey asked.
Ryan hit his forehead, "Ryu Senshi can't be equipped with any Equip Magic cards. They're automatically destroyed."
"Oh cool," Joey said then turned his attention to Rex. "With Blast with Chain's effect, I'll destroy Guardian Grarl."
As Grarl was close to Ryu Senshi, the dragon warrior threw the stick of dynamite at the axe wielding Tyrannosaur. It hit Grarl on the chest and seconds later exploded with a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Grarl was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it," Rex said placing one of his strongest cards to the graveyard. "I'll end my turn."
Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew his card and knew exactly what to do.
"I'll play two cards face down, and I'll bring out Reflect Bounder (1700/1000) in attack mode," Ryan announced. "And I'll have it attack your life points directly, Rex."
As the mirrored machine appeared on the field, the mirror on its chest fired a blinding white blast of light directly at Rex.
"Then I'll end my turn," Ryan said. "And as I do, Satellite Cannon's power rises to 2000."
Joey: 2800
Rex: 3750
Ryan: 2600
Mako: 4700
Mako's turn-
"Your Satellite Cannon's power stops here," Mako said drawing his card. "I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon, to destroy the first card you played face down."
As Mako played his magic card, a great wind emerged from the sky and destroyed Ryan's Limiter Removal.
"Aw damn it," Ryan groaned sending the magic card to the graveyard.
"That would've made your monsters untouchable by Crab Turtle," Mako said. "But not any more. Now I'll destroy your Satellite Cannon with Crab Turtle. Go Crab Turtle! Torrent Claw!"
Crab Turtle dove deep in the water again and generated a powerful whirlpool. As Crab Turtle launched itself out of the water, it shot towards Satellite Cannon.
"Activate Trap Card," Ryan said activating his last face down card. "Shift!"
As Crab Turtle continued towards Satellite Cannon, it vanished and was replaced by Reflect Bounder.
"Oh no!" Mako shouted.
As Crab Turtle pulled back its claws to strike, Reflect Bounder acted first by creating a mirror image of Crab Turtle. The mirror image plunged down and struck Mako directly for 3300 damage. The original Crab Turtle clamped on to Reflect Bounder and ripped it up, turning it into scrap metal. Then Crab Turtle landed back in the waves of Umiiruka, unharmed.
"I'll end my turn," Mako said in deep frustration.
Joey: 2800
Rex: 3750
Ryan: 1000
Mako: 1400
Joey's turn-
'Man,' Joey thought to himself. 'Ryan's always has got somethin' up his sleeve.'
Then Joey drew his card and smirked over to Rex.
"I'll play one card face down, and you have no monsters to defend you." Joey stated obviously. "Go Ryu Senshi, attack Rex directly. Dragon Blade Slash!"
The dragon warrior gripped his sword tightly and ran through the waters and arrived over to Rex. The warrior then virtually slashed Rex across the chest for 2000 direct damage.
"Your turn," Joey told Rex.
Joey: 2800
Rex: 1750
Ryan: 1000
Mako: 1400
Rex's turn-
When Rex drew his card, he began laughing.
"Hey what's so funny?" Joey asked.
"I now hold in my hand the strongest Dinosaur in my deck!" Rex told him. "I'll first play Guranadora (1900/1700) in attack mode."
A reptilian monster with several spikes protruding out of its back and huge fangs out of its mouth.
"As soon as he's summoned, I gain 1000 life points to put me at 2750," Rex said. "But here's what's gonna be the beginning of your defeat, Wheeler! I play the magic card, Super Evolution Medicine and by sacrificing a reptile on my side of the field, I can bring out a Dinosaur from my hand. And I'll bring out Dark Tyrano (2600/1800) in attack mode!"
As soon as Rex played Super Evolution Medicine, Guranadora began to evolve. The spikes on its body sunk in to its bones and its brown pigment changed to black. Its feet and legs grew several feet higher; its tail extended and was about nine feet long, its bladelike arms turned into small claws, but its head changed with massive jaws and teeth to rip its opponent to shreds. Several purple marks appeared all over but black was still the primary color. When the evolution ended, the result was a tyrannosaurus rex.
"Behold my Dark Tyrano!" Rex shouted with pride. "Now Dark Tyrano, attack Wheeler's Ryu Senshi, go get your dinner!"
The tyrannosaurus obeyed and charged towards Joey's Dragon Warrior to wipe out the last of his monsters...
NOTE: As you all may have read, I used the show's way of summoning Thousand Dragon. It isn't really fun to just fuse two monsters together, unlike the heart pounding fate of Time Roulette.
Also, the show seems to have the characters play fusion monsters but they just seem to appear and don't get the actual fusion cards out of their fusion decks. If they have any of the actual fusion cards, the show has a hard time of showing it.
