Okay time for the next Q&A everybody!
Question 1 from Ulrich362:
Actually would anybody else be able to answer questions?
Dan: Who in particular?
Question 2 from Royal2:
Hey Dan what do you think of Ray as a sister or a mom figure?
Dan: That's a tough one I would honestly say mentor, and sister kind of figure.
Questions answered here, and now it's time for the Team Matches here. For better coordination we will only see Team Lancers' duels, and they'll be couple of chapters long. ENJOY!
The next day...
"Okay fellow duelists! It's day two of the Friendship Cup, and yesterday we had gotten Round 1 of the one-on-one matches taken care of! And now it is time for Round 1 of the second half of the Friendship Cup! And now let's bring forth the teams!" Melissa Trail called as all the teams walked forward showing themselves, "And now let us see what match-ups are for these folks!"
The screen shows the names of the teams as they shuffled as the Teams watched on before it stopped to show which one.
"And now these are the Teams that are decided! Teams regroup to your stations, and wait until your time to shine!" Melissa Trail grinned as the teams headed back to their corners.
With the Lancers, Declan said to the team, "Remember what we gone over at these matches. Duel at your very best, and don't let your opponents have a chance to counter attack, and be sure to use Last Chance as fast as you can. First we have the first duelist, Shay Obsidian."
Shay was ready wearing his Turbo Dueling Uniform with the Logo, L.D.S. which stands for 'Lance Defense Soldiers' on his chest with a stamp baton on his arm with the same logo was at.
"Then our second Duelist, Julia Krystal." Declan continued.
Julia was grinning but still looks serious wearing a dark red with purple uniform that has small diamonds at the wrists, and collar with the same logo on her chest with a ponytail.
"And our third duelist, and our permanent third member, Dan Kizami." Declan finished turning to Dan.
Dan has on a blue, and black Turbo Uniform that shows it's design that black is mostly there with blue lines on his arms, gloves, and legs with it around his shoulders, and having a zipper with the same Logo on his chest ready to get started.
"And a reserve is any of us." Declan added on to them, "Be sure to do your best. Let's go over the rules one more time. The Team Duels composed of 3-on-3 Turbo Duels, and allowing uses of Action Spells with the Turbo Duel Field Spell, Action Speed World. The Team Duels consists 1 member to duel each, and if one loses they let another member take over with their field, and graveyard but a new hand, and new set of Life Points. If the last player knocked out you will have a chance to grab an Action Card in just 5 seconds, should you manage to do it you recover 1000 Life Points, and will stay in the duel until your Life Points run out. You need to have 7 or more Action Counters with Action Speed World in order to use it."
The three nodded ready to get started.
After a few matches...
"And with that last attack, Team 5D's win's the score!"Melissa Trail called as they see Yusei finishing off Team Dragon with a pale green, and white dragon that Dan knows is Stardust Dragon before he rode back, "And now is match 8! Team Lancers vs the team from Spain, and a famous team throughout let's give it up for Team Unicorn!"
At that 3 men wearing blue Turbo Dueling Uniforms that has on a logo of a unicorn walked forward waving to the crowd.
"Shay be careful. These guys are no joke, and they were nearly in the actual WRGP from a preliminary rounds against Team 5D's." Dan told his first teammate which made him nod before arming a Duel Runner as they got to the starting line with Shay against the first member who is a red haired man named Andre.
(Cue Theme: Hyper Drive)
Going fast makes me feel alive.
My heart beats in hyper drive.
Do you think you can win?
Only if I lose.
Just let destiny choose.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.
It's a blur... as I go by.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
See the sun arising.
Fire in the sky.
Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.
"And now cowpikes let us activate the new Action Field, Action Speed World!" Melissa Trail called as a new field appeared.

"And now Team Duelists get your cards ready, and start Team Dueling!" Melissa Trail called.

"Shay did good." Yuto said seeing this, "He managed to deal a lot of damage."

Stranger Falcon: (ATK: 2000 - (500 * 4) = 0)
"Andre not only had summoned Thunder Unicorn, and weakened Stranger Falcon greatly but he also has 3 Momongas face-down to protect him from battle damage, and regain life points if their destroyed in battle. That's expectant of Andre he's Team Unicorn's smartest player for analyzing his opponent's strategies after seeing them first hand, and he had plenty from seeing Shay's match with Dennis." Dan said seeing this knowing what Andre's plan is, "So this way Shay's effect damage plans are useless, Thunder Unicorn will always get stronger, & even if Shay destroys Thunder Unicorn if he wants any attacks connecting he has to get pass Momongas."
"Team Unicorn must be a pretty powerful team. Why are we against them first?" Yuya grunted at this.
Unaware to them the two other Team Unicorn Teammates, a blonde haired man named Breo, and a black haired man named Jean overheard Dan's words from where they are, and Breo asked, "So that kid knows Andre's plans huh?"
"Impressive for him but will it help his team get out of this?" Jean grinned.
"And now Thunder Unicorn attack Stranger Falcon!" Andre called as Thunder Unicorn charged at Stranger Falcon as Shay grabbed an Action Card, "I activate the Action Spell, Miracle!"

"Okay not bad escaping that. I end my turn." Andre grinned with only 1 card in his hand.

Shay 2nd Turn:
(Team Lancers' Action Counters: 3)
(Team Unicorn's Action Counters: 3)
(Shay's Deck: 31/40)
'Dan is right about them. Team Unicorn doesn't mess around...' Shay thought drawing, 'I better be more careful.'
"And I discard Skip Force from my hand to rebuild the Overlay with Force Strix!" Shay called as Force Strix flew up, "That way I can summon, Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon - Airraid!"

Andre grabbing an Action Card called, "I activate the Action Spell, Invisibility!"

"So now Lightning Unicorn can't be effected by your card effects!" Andre called countering easily as Thunder Unicorn was protected from the blast.
Shay grunted, "Then I use Stranger Falcon's special ability! I use an Overlay Unit to destroy your, Momongas, and you take damage equal to it's attack points!" (ORU: 2 - 1)
Stranger Falcon attacked the beast only for Andre to call, "I activate my face-down, Beast Burial Ritual!"

Target 1 Beast-Type monster you control; destroy that target, and if you do, draw 2 cards during the next Standby Phase.
"I destroy Momongas, and in exchange, I can draw 2 cards during the next Standby Phase!" Andre called as the beast shattered avoiding Stranger Falcon.
"Shay attacks, and Andre evades!" Melissa Trail called seeing this, "This truly is a clash of warriors!"
Shay grunted, 'I can't attack his Momongas unless, I want him to gain points, and only destroy them... Wait!'
"I activate Raid Force's effect in the graveyard! By banishing this card, and a Raidraptor in my hand, I can add Skip Force from my graveyard to my hand which I will activate!"

(ORU: 3)
"And now since I summoned it Satellite Cannon Falcon can destroy your spells, and trap card, and you can't use anything against this!" Shay called as Andre's face-down shattered, "And now Satellite Cannon Falcon use your Special Ability, and lower Momonga's by 800!" (ORU: 4)
His graveyard's Raidraptors of 4 lowered it's points. (ATK: 1000 - (800 * 4) = 0)
"I place 1 card down, and now attack Satellite Cannon Falcon!" Shay called as the monster charged attacking Thunder Unicorn destroying it as Andre grunted. (Andre: 1900) "You'll run out of Life Points before you can use it's effect! Stranger Falcon attack!"
Stranger Falcon charged at the zero beast destroying it as Andre cried out. (Andre: 0000) (Team Unicorn: 2)
"And with that ladies, and gentlemen, Shay had pushed through, and now has defeated Andre in just two turns!" Melissa Trail cried as Andre rode back, "But how can Shay fair against the other two remaining members?"
"Especially Breo." Dan said nervous, "Breo relies on Mill Tactics so Shay's in for a tough match."
"Mill?" Yuya asked in shock as they watch as Breo rode in.
Breo grinned to Shay, "You were pretty good against Andre. Don't expect me to fall down so easily."
"Oh I won't." Shay grinned as they raced off ready to begin the second part as they watched on.
And that's part 1 of this Team Match-Up. Shay vs Andre what do you guys think? Shay was pretty, and Andre can only managed to hang on till the very end. What will Breo do against Shay in his comrade's defeat? Be sure to ask Dan questions, and be sure to review!
