Okay here are the questions.
Question 1 from Ulrich362:
Are you prepared for what the end of the battle with Duel Academy could lead to?
Dan: I don't know what it could lead too. Though I guess I will.
We now have the finale of the team match between Lancers', and Ragnarok. Dan Kizami vs Halldor where Dan is against the power of the Nordic Gods at there fullest due to Dragan, and Broder leaving their Nordic Gods for Halldor to battle with same as Yusei battled them instead their abilities are weaker but are stronger as before. Due to the Nordic Ascendants that Broder, and Dragan used can Halldor use Odin's power to overwhelm Dan or will Dan triumphed over the Nordic Gods? Let's find out!
Summary: Declan, and Broder both fought a hard battle with Broder using Loki, and Thor to overwhelm Declan's forces each turn but Declan fights back by rebuilding it, and destroying them taking Broder's tricks head on but in the end both of them were knocked out into a DRAW leaving the final duelists of each team; Dan & Halldor to battle one last time for one of teams to claim a victory for this match. With Thor, and Loki on his field Halldor unleashes attacks at Dan, and Dan who is ready against the Nordic Gods prepares for a battle he is sure to fight on.

Previously on Ascension of the Dragons:
"I can destroy 1 card on the field! I pick Loki obviously!" Declan called using Witch's effect to destroy Loki before he called, "And now your up High King Alexander! Attack Thor, Lord of the Aesir!"
With the power boost Alexander charged in destroyed Thor as Broder grinned, "By banishing a Nordic Beast Tuner from the graveyard, Thor rises again! And during this end phase by banishing Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar from the graveyard, Loki rises once again!"
The two Nordic Gods kept on coming back each time Declan destroys them forming a hard struggle before Thor shot lightning from his ability only for Declan to counter, "d'Arc's own ability activates! Any effect damage I take instantly becomes me gaining Life Points instead!"
d'Arc caught the lightning in her rapier before lifting her arm to Declan as green light shined on him healing him as Melissa Trail called, "No matter how hard Broder demolishes Declan's forces it always rebuilds in a quick pace!"
"Okay! No more fooling around!" Broder called deciding to get serious against Declan calling, "Vanity Bullet!"
As Loki fired the blast Declan defended, "I activate Action Speed World's effect! By having 4 or more Action Counters, I can discard an Action Card to deal you 200 points of damage for each counter!"
Softly smiling Broder said to himself, "It's up to you Halldor."
The two last duelists sped at equal speed as the two opponents said nothing only grinning at each other as they speed off as the screen froze showing Dan speeding ahead with Loki, Thor, and the silhouette Nordic God behind him staring down.
(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.

"Welcome back to the last chapter of this duel everyone! Last time Declan, and Broder fought with everything they got but we're both defeated in the end, and now Dan Kizami along with Halldor are all that's left in the two teams ready to end this battle!" Melissa Trail told the readers about what happened previously, "And like last time Action Speed World is active!"

"And then Dan has a full hand with the cards on his field being D/D Dog, and Savant Newton, and there's also D/D Reroll, and Dark Contract with the Gate who's effect won't help as he doesn't use D/D Cards, and in his Extra Deck are the Pendulum Monsters, D/D Tenjinki, Abyss Ragnarok, and Savant Copernicus!"

"Agreed!" Dan agreed before calling, "Alright I draw!"
(Team Lancers' Action Counters: 11)
(Team Ragnarok's Action Counters: 12)
"First off due to Contract with Gate, I lose 1000 points." Dan said as he grunted while purple smoke exited his chest. (Dan: 3000) (Team Lancers' Action Counters: 11 - 1 = 10)
He looked at his hand seeing Soul Drain Dragon, Schwarzschild Limit Dragon, Heliosphere Dragon, Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon, Cipher Bit, and his drawn card being Xyz Shift as he smiled before calling, "I start off by summoning Schwarzschild Limit Dragon!"
The brown dragon appeared roaring.

"I then activate Heliosphere's special ability!" Dan added as Heliosphere grew glowing, "While I have a level 8 dragon on my field, this card's level becomes 8 until the end of the turn!"
Heliosphere Dragon: (LV: 4 + 4 = 8)
"And now level 8 Heliosphere, and Schwarzschild Limit Dragons overlay into the Overlay Network!" Dan called as the two flew up to the Galactic Portal as he chanted, "Ancient Dragon of Light! Swirl through time, and turn into a guide for the Dragons to transverse time! Xyz Summon! Rank 8, Number 46: Dragluon!"
At that a white crown appeared before unfolding into a white serpent dragon with a gold aura, and mane, and sliver eyes roaring.

(ORU: 2)
"A dragon. Like as always to battle, and this time against the Nordic Gods." Halldor grinned to Dan.
Dan added to him, "Well he's not gonna battle your Gods alone! I activate his ability! By using an Overlay Unit, I am allowed to activate one of his three abilities!"
Dragluon took an Overlay Unit in it's horn as it roared glowing. (ORU: 2 - 1)
"So now taking the field is Soul Drain Dragon!" Dan called as a huge dragon with an energy glowing like abdomen appeared roaring with 4000 attack points.

When Special Summoned, if your Life Points are lower than your opponent's: This card gains ATK equal to your current Life Point deficit, and if it does, your opponent takes no further damage this turn. This card cannot attack your opponent directly.
Seeing that made Halldor blink shocked as they all looked shocked seeing the big dragon as Dan explained, "Soul Drain Dragon can only be summoned by the ability of a Xyz Dragon! And if my points are lower then the difference is added to his points!"
Soul Drain Dragon: (ATK: 4000 + 1000 = 5000)
"But the price for this power is that you can't take damage this turn, and then Soul Drain Dragon cannot attack directly." Dan added to him before adding, "Then I activate Xyz Shift!"
Xyz Shift
Normal Spell Card
Tribute 1 Xyz Monster; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 monster with the same Type, Attribute, and Rank as that Tributed monster had on the field, but with a different name, and if you do, attach this card to it as an Xyz Material. During the End Phase, send it to the Graveyard. You can only activate 1 "Xyz Shift" per turn.
"By Tributing Dragluon, I can summon a different monster from my Extra Deck as long as it's monster type, attribute, and rank is the same as Dragluon's!" Dan explained as Dragluon vanished, "So now I can summon in his place, Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!"
Tachyon Dragon appeared roaring.
(Defense Position)
Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon

Rank 8
Dragon/Xyz

2 Level 8 monsters
Once per Battle Phase, at the start of your Battle Phase: You can detach 1 material from this card; all other face-up monsters currently on the field have their effects negated, also their ATK and DEF become their original ATK and DEF, and if you do any of these, during the Battle Phase this turn, each time an opponent's card effect resolves, this card gains 1000 ATK until the end of the Battle Phase, also, it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn.
"And then after that Xyz Shift becomes Tachyon Dragon's Overlay Unit!" Dan added as the card turned to a golden orb on Tachyon Dragon, (ORU: 1) "It won't stay for long cause I'll use it to activate it's special ability at the start of my battle phase!"
Tachyon Dragon took an Overlay Unit as it roared, (ORU: 1 - 0) "By using an Overlay Unit all monsters on the field have their effects negated also their points go back to normal! Tachyon Transmigration!"
At that Tachyon Dragon roared forming to it's sealed form shining on the field while the three greyed.
Soul Drain Dragon: (ATK: 5000 - 1000 = 4000)
"But why did he got rid of Soul Drain's attack boost?" Tate asked seeing that.
"For two things." Yuto answered, "Soul Drain is both able to make direct attacks now, and not only that both Loki, and Thor's abilities are gone so Halldor can't stop his Action Cards, or Dan's monster's abilities anymore. He gotten rid of his offense to lower Halldor's hugely."
"But on the otherhand due to Soul Drain Dragon's ability Halldor can't take damage for the rest of this turn." Shay added to them, "So if Dan destroys them it won't do much if they can still be revived."
"So he set up a high defense line with Soul Drain Dragon having 4000 points, and Tachyon Dragon stopping the Nordic Gods from using their abilities." Yuya said hearing that.
With that in play Halldor can't use Loki, and Thor from sopping Dan unless their destroyed first, and having big points to last through their attacks on Soul Drain Dragon's case. So now Dan is ready against them with all he has to defeat them as Halldor grinned, "Very well Dan. I'd admit you have set up quite a line. But will it last against me?"
"We well see. But first I activate D/D Lamia's ability that Declan left!" Dan called as Lamia's card from the graveyard glowed, "By sending Contract with Gate to the graveyard, I can summon her from the graveyard!"
Lamia appeared at that as Gate vanished.

"Monsters of the different Dimensions, and Times! Join through this world here to protect all those! Pendulum Summon! Join us my monsters!" Dan chanted as the Pendulum Portal opened showing 1 card as he added, "Come out D/D/D Abyss King Ragnarok!"

"And then as this card is summoned, I can summon a D/D/D from the graveyard! So I'll revive out D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc!" Dan added as Declan's Fusion Monster was pulled out of the graveyard by Abyss Ragnarok's vine.

2 "D/D" monsters
Any effect that would inflict damage to you makes you gain that much LP, instead.
"And then I use Abyss Ragnarok's other ability!" Dan called as Abyss Ragnarok wrapped it's vine around Lamia, "By Tributing Lamia a monster on the field is banished!"
Lamia shattered as the vines charged at Loki only for Halldor to call, "I activate Effect Veiler's effect in my hand! By sending this card to the graveyard I negate Abyss Ragnarok's ability!"
The vine vanished at that as Dan said, "Well since Lamia was summoned from it's ability it's banished when it leaves the field. And I summon Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon since I have a Galaxy-Eyes in play!"
Afterglow Dragon appeared roaring.
(Defense Position)
Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon
Light Type

Dragon

You can only use each effect of "Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon" once per turn.
"W-What a move!" Melissa Trail cried with a grin.
"Dan has five monsters." Celina said seeing Tachyon Dragon, Soul Drain Dragon, Abyss Ragnarok, d'Arc, and Afterglow Dragon all ready to defend Dan against the Nordic Gods.
"I end my turn with one face-down." Dan ended his turn looking at Halldor, "Alright Halldor, I'm all ready!"
Halldor 1st Turn:
(Team Lancers' Action Counters: 11)
(Team Ragnarok's Action Counters: 12)
"Then it's my turn! I draw!" Halldor called drawing looking, and grinned, "I can get rid of your entire field easily."
"Huh?" Dan asked confused before widening his eyes, "Wait-!"
"You got it! I activate Dark Hole!" Halldor called as a black vortex appeared.
Dark Hole
Normal Spell Card
Destroy all monsters on the field.
"With this card's effect all monsters on the field is destroyed!" Halldor called as all of the monsters in play were all sucked in the vortex as Halldor grinned, "Now all your monsters are destroyed."
"Don't think so!"
"What?" Halldor looked to see Tachyon Dragon survived but it has an Overlay Unit. (ORU: 0 - 1) "How did your dragon survived, and have one of those Units?"
Dan explained, "I had activated my face-down, Cipher Bit!"
Cipher Bit
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 "Galaxy-Eyes" or "Cipher" Xyz Monster you control; attach this card to it as an Xyz Material, and if you do, the next time it would be destroyed by battle or card effect this turn, it is not destroyed.
"Thanks to it, I can attach this card to a Galaxy-Eyes, or Cipher Xyz Monster on my field, and when it should be destroyed one time it's protected!" Dan explained s his Dragon stand tall.
"Dan was prepared in case it would be destroyed since it wasn't summoned normally." Declan said seeing that, "But it's now able to be destroyed again."
"Which means if Halldor battles it then it can be destroyed." Sylvio said before adding, "Assuming that monster he fights with isn't the third Nordic God."
"Don't jinx it, Sylvio!" Aura snapped which made him flinch as they look.
Starting off Halldor called, "I now summon Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant!"
A small fairy with blue hair, and having wings with a blade appeared.

"When this card is summoned while I have no other cards in play, and you have a monster, I can banish two Nordic monsters from my hand to summon two Einherjar Tokens!" Halldor told Dan.
Dan reminded, "Except you have a face-down!"
Halldor grinned, "Think I don't know that? Take a closer look."
Blinking Dan looked to see the face-down is gone, "What?"
"I had activated my face-down in response to Dark Hole." Halldor said pulling a card from his graveyard out before showing it was Nordic Relic Brisingamen, "It has Loki, or Thor have the same points as one of your monsters in play. So when Dark Hole was activated, I had used Brisingamen to have Loki's points be equal then Soul Drain Dragon's which sent it to the graveyard. So it cleared my field allowing me to use Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant's ability without interruptions!"
As he said that he pocketed two cards as two cloud warriors appeared.

Special Summoned with the effect of "Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant".
"You jinxed it!" Aura yelled at Sylvio who flinched again.
"Now we get to see the third Nordic God." Yuya gulped not sure what to feel.
Halldor called, "And now Valkyrie tune with my level 4 Einherjar Tokens!"
Valkyrie chuckled before forming two tune rings with her blades as the two Tokens rotated together merging with them in a big orb.
(LV: 2 + 4 + 4 = 10)
"The all-seeing and all-powerful king who rules the heavens of the North Star. Now, show your might that reigns over the Gods of Asgard! Synchro Summon! Rule over the gods of heaven and earth! The highest god, Odin, Father of the Aesir!"

When Summoned this way: You can draw 1 card.
"So that's Odin for real..." Dan said in awe seeing him.
"And Halldor summoned his own Nordic God, Odin the mightiest of the three Nordic Gods!" Melissa Trail called seeing this, "And with both Thor, and Loki on their way to be revived Dan is gonna need all he can to defeat the three Nordic Gods!"
"Now now first off I don't have the cards to summon back Thor." Halldor reminded since the only card that can summon Thor was gone, "However I activate Burial from a Different Dimension!"
Burial from a Different Dimension
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target up to 3 banished monsters; return them to the Graveyard.
"I return three monsters that were banished back to my graveyard." Halldor grinned, "I return back the three monsters, three Guldfaxe!"
"Three?" Dan asked shocked as the three vanished back, "The cards that Valkyrie banished were-"
"Correct two more Guldfaxe!" Halldor confirmed before adding, "And now Odin attack Tachyon Dragon!"
Odin at that charged lightning striking Tachyon Dragon as Dan grabbed an Action Card as Dan grunted but since Tachyon Dragon was in defense he doesn't take damage, 'This doesn't begin to compare to Loki's own power!'
'Agreed.' Ray noted to him, 'Now your gonna face all three of them at the turn's end phase, and with Tachyon Dragon not summoned properly you can't call it back.'
'Normally but I can use other methods.' Dan told her.
Halldor told him, "I set a card, and now I activate Thor, and Loki's abilities! By banishing Mara, and my first Guldfaxe from the graveyard, I can summon them again!"
Loki emerged from the fissure while Thor rose back from the ocean.
Thor, Lord of the Aesir: (Attack Position)
Loki, Lord of the Aesir: (Attack Position)
"And as Thor was summoned this way you take 800 points of damage!" Halldor called as Thor shot lightning from his helmet at Dan who cried out. (Dan: 2200) "And as Loki was summoned by his ability, I add the Trap Card, Nordic Relic Laevateinn to my hand from the graveyard!"
'Laevateinn! That's the card Dragan, and Broder both used to get rid of Laplace, and Blade Armor Ninja!' Dan thought remembered of it, 'With no monsters on my field being looked down at the three Nordic Gods is something I can't get over. I better even up the odds soon!'

"Now I sacrifice Galaxy Wizard to use his other ability!" Dan called as Wizard vanished which is what Halldor did not expect.
"Your getting rid of your monster to not Xyz Summon?" Halldor asked surprised.
Dan explained, "By doing this, I can take Galaxy Card from my Deck, and add it to my hand."
He placed a card before adding, "Then I activate the card, I added! The Equip Spell, Galaxy Zero!"

Target 1 "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position and equip it with this card. It cannot attack or activate its effects. If it would be destroyed during the Battle Phase, you can destroy this card instead. When this card leaves the field: The equipped monster's ATK becomes 0. You can only activate 1 "Galaxy Zero" per turn.
"By not allowing it to attack or use it's abilities, I can summon a Photon or Galaxy monster from the graveyard by negating it's abilities!" Dan said to Halldor before calling, "So I'll summon back Afterglow Dragon!"
Afterglow Dragon raise up roaring: (Attack Position)
"Oh I see." Halldor said seeing that.
"And now I overlay my two level 8s!" Dan called as the two entered the Galactic Portal while Galaxy Zero shattered.
"Embodiment of Light! Evolve to a new form destined to bring out the true value of time to defend the stream of time against the forces of darkness on your quest to defend! Xyz Summon! Rank 8, Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!"
Prime Dragon appeared roaring.
(Attack Position)
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon
Light Type
Rank 8
Dragon/Xyz
ATK: 4000
DEF: 3000
2 Level 8 monsters
If this card battles, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card once per battle; this card gains ATK equal to the combined Ranks of all Xyz Monsters currently on the field x 200, during that damage calculation only. If this card in its owner's control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect while it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Xyz Material: You can Special Summon this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation and double its ATK. Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is halved unless it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Xyz Material.
(ORU: 2)
Remembering the effects of Prime Photon, Halldor reached for an Action Card as Dan called, "And now Prime Photon Dragon attack Loki, Lord of the Aesir!"
Prime Photon aimed at the Trickster God as it readied itself.
"And now as Prime Photon is fighting I can use an Overlay Unit for it to power up by 200 equal to the result ranks on the field! The total rank is 8! So now Prime Photon Dragon gain 1600 attack points!" Dan called as Prime Photon Dragon took an Overlay Unit as it roared. (ORU: 2 - 1) (ATK: 4000 + (200 * 8) = 5600)
Halldor grabbed the card seeing Attack Force which can't help but before he can use Action Speed World's effect to deal damage Loki was destroyed while he grunted. (Halldor: 1700) (Team Ragnarok's Action Counters: 12 - 2 = 10)
"Alright Dan!" Riley cheered seeing this.
"He has Halldor on low points." Yuya said seeing that.
Halldor grunted as he smirked, "Your lucky. I activate Action Speed World's effect! Once per turn, I can use it's effect to discard an Action Card from my Hand, and you lose 200 points for each Action Counter I have!"
His Duel Runner fired a blast which struck Dan as he grunted. (Dan: 0200) (Team Lancers' Action Counters: 11 - 2 = 9)
"Now he can't risk destroying Thor if he wants to avoid it's damage effect." Yuya said seeing that.
Dan then added, "I now Pendulum Summon! Come back Abyss Ragnarok!"
Abyss King Ragnarok appeared again at that: (Defense Position)
"When summoned D/D d'Arc is revived again!" Dan called as Abyss Ragnarok pulled out d'Arc.
D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc: (Defense Position)
"And by sending D/D Reroll to the graveyard, I can summon the second Lamia!" Dan added.
The second Lamia appeared: (Defense Position)
"And now by Tributing Lamia, Thor is banished!" Dan called as Abyss Ragnarok charged in only for the vine to bounce off as Dan grunted.
Halldor grinned, "I had activated, Invisibility!"
Invisibility
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster you control; this turn, it cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects, also it is unaffected by other card effects.
Dan grunted seeing that grabbing an Action Card before saying, "Turn end."
"And by banishing Svartalf, Loki rises again!" Halldor added as Loki emerged from the fissure.
Loki, Lord of the Aesir: (Attack Position)
"And per his ability I add to my hand, Nordic Relic Megingjord!" Halldor said showing the card.
Halldor 2nd Turn:
(Team Lancers' Action Counters: 10)
(Team Ragnarok's Action Counters: 11)
"My turn draw!" Halldor called drawing.
"I activate Action Crush!" Dan called playing the Action Spell he gotten.
Action Crush
Action Spell Card
Destroy all Action Cards in your opponent's hand, also for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, each time a player adds an Action Card to their hand, destroy that Action Card.
"So now we can't add an Action Card to our hands for the rest of this turn!" Dan said getting around Action Speed World being used.
That made several of the Lancers sighed in relief knowing Dan can last this turn without Halldor using Action Speed World to damage Dan again for the final blow but Dan wouldn't be so lucky to avoid it again next turn so they hope he has a plan.
"Very well!" Halldor called looking at his drawn card before grinning, "And now, I activate Thor's special ability! All monsters on your field have their effects negated!"
Thor gave out waves as the monsters greyed which also include Prime Photon to grow stronger as Dan grunted knowing this will be tough to get pass but hopes his strategy will work.
"And now I activate Nordic Relic Draupnir!" Halldor said as Odin is equipped with gauntlets.
Nordic Relic Draupnir
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to an "Aesir" or "Nordic" monster. It gains 800 ATK. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: You can add 1 "Nordic Relic" card from your Deck to your hand.
"With this card an Aesir or Nordic Monster on the field gains 800 attack points." Halldor said as Odin grew. (ATK: 4000 + 800 = 4800)
"If this works Dan will lose!" Dipper cried seeing this.
"And now Odin attack Prime Photon Dragon!" Halldor called as Odin charged his staff.
Dan suddenly grinned, "Just as what I was waiting for! I activate Prime Photon's ability!"
Prime Photon took an Overlay Unit only for it to gain no points. (ORU: 1 - 0)
"What? Your monster's effects are negated!" Halldor reminded him.
Dan admitted, "Yusei told me that even though a monster's effects are negated you can still use it's ability to your advantage which is what I've done for Afterglow Dragon!"
"What?" Halldor asked as Afterglow Dragon appeared above Prime Photon.
Dan explained, "See when Afterglow Dragon is used as an Overlay Unit, and detached I can either summon my second Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, or use it as an Overlay Unit to an Xyz Monster on my field! And the best part if this effect is used during battle all of Numbers on my field have their attack points doubled!"
Prime Photon roared growing stronger. (ATK: 4000 x 2 = 8000)
This move was enough to defeat Halldor, and win the match as the crowd cheered, and Lancers smiled cheering also seeing Dan pulled that off as Melissa Trail cried, "Oh all the cowpike moves I expect, I didn't expect him to take Yusei's advice to heart, and now he pulled around the advantage! And now Dan is gonna win!"
The Nordic Gods are a tough bunch but their not unbeatable as Yusei defeated them before. Not only that Dan was also a duelist who is like Yusei, and they wanted to battle him personally with all he has. And now they do, and are ready for whatever outcome the battle would be satisfied. From this new move Loki is impressed by this trick, while Thor is impressed with his strength, and amount of attack points it done, and Odin is impressed with his smarts against them, and not to mention taking Yusei's advice to use the abilities of monsters to your advantage even if they won't work. This kind of move can defeat them once more.
...If it was another person.
Halldor was a different story however as he doesn't blindly charged in to a battle he can't win without thinking of all possibilities. And like he realized Dan has a trick which made him grin, 'Perfect.'
"You are quite a young man. The Nordic Gods are impressed with what you done against them." Halldor told him as Dan smiled only for Halldor to add, "But it's not enough!"
"Not enough?" Dan asked confused before suddenly realizing something, and sees Halldor's face-down, "Then that card is a-!"
"That's right! I activate the Counter Trap, Solemn Judgment!" Halldor revealed the card as one of the most powerful traps in the game.
Solemn Judgment
Counter Trap Card
When a monster(s) would be Summoned, OR a Spell/Trap Card is activated: Pay half your LP; negate the Summon or activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
"By trading half my points Afterglow Dragon's ability is hereby prohibited by the Gods!" Halldor called pointing at Afterglow Dragon as Loki, Thor, and Odin raise their hands as lightning from the sky struck Afterglow Dragon's mirage making it vanish shocking everyone (Halldor: 0850), "And due to Action Crush you can't get an Action Card for Last Chance!"
Prime Photon Dragon: (ATK: 8000 / 2 = 4000)
Odin at that continued where he left off striking Prime Photon Dragon destroying it as Dan screamed out losing.
Team Lancers: 0
Moon Shadow: 0000
Declan: 0000
Dan: 0000
Action Counters: 10
Team Ragnarok: 1
Dragan: 0000
Broder: 0000
Halldor: 0850
Action Counters: 11
Team Ragnarok wins the duels!
"A-A-And with that cowpikes even with all Dan can do the Nordic Gods were too much for him! Which means Team Ragnarok wins the duel congratulations!" Melissa Trail announced as the crowd cheered as the Lancers were stunned at Dan had lost despite giving everything he had.
"Whoa did ya see that!"
"The kid who defeated Yusei was beaten by the Nordic Gods!"
"That was an amazing duel, and Halldor really caught us all off guard with Solemn Judgment!"
"And he took Yusei's advice from his duel! That shows the growth of a true duelist!"
"Dan lost." Celina said in shock not expecting this, "How?"
"Don't ask us." Kit admitted to her before saying, "Though I think it's because Halldor had those three in play."
"No. It's because Halldor had more skill, and his smarts out-smarted Dan's." Declan pointed out, "He needs to loss anyhow cause the Sting of Defeat also serves as a wake up call to get better."
Dan rode back as Yuya asked, "Dan?"
Dan looked as he smiled, "Sorry I screwed that one."
"It's alright. We all had our matches at the regular tourney." Julia shrugged with a grin, "You did amazing out there so you should feel proud."
Riley agreed, "And you stood your ground, and battled the three Nordic Gods with all you got."
"Not to mention, you had took the advice of Yusei to grow stronger, and that was proof." Yuya smiled agreeing.
Ray finished to him, "And you didn't stop, or falter, or run when you have a chance. You battled to the very end, and that's what happened with that match so congratulations."
Dan smiled hearing all the support he is having. Even though he lost he is not complaining about it since he isn't too bothered with it but feels like he wins in his own way. This Team Match was tough, and in the end Ragnarok had triumphed because their skills are well trained by the Nordic Gods, and also cause of them incorporating their decks into one. So now he can just stand, and rise to the occasion of the next match either against Yuya, Sergey, or Sayer. He knows that he is ready.
And I told you all Dan DOES NOT have protag powers, and I hope this gets the message to you all. It's all clear due to Mage of Hope's own OC Elize had lost lots of times stating that 'I'm not going to make cliché 'main character always wins no matter what' thing', which I am doing the same thing... only more so. Well next up comes the semi-finals of the Friendship Cup, and the arrival of old enemies that are finally appearing back in this fic. What will happen now? Be sure to ask Dan questions, and be sure to review!
