Sapphire rode up on her Duel Board before turning to see Sergey staring straight ahead. He narrowed his eyes at her before staring ahead. "Alright Duelists, on your marks, get set..." Melissa announced.
"DUEL!" Sapphire and Sergey called together.
They sped off to get ahead but Sergey got ahead first.

"I go first." Sergey stated to Sapphire.
She frowned at that but nodded. "Fine."

You can only use each effect of "Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper" once per turn.
"When Stone Sweeper is summoned, I add Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker to hand." Sergey said adding a card.
Sapphire paused at that. "Wait a second, we can't use Field Spells?"
"I now summon Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker!"
A orange lined field with arms hanging down with a flame rose up.

"I then activate the Spell Card, Harmonic Synchro Fusion!" Sergey declared.

Special Summon 2 monsters from your Extra Deck (1 Fusion Monster and 1 Synchro Monster), by using monsters you control as both Fusion and Synchro Materials. (These Special Summons are treated as a Fusion Summon for the Fusion Monster and a Synchro Summon for the Synchro Monster.)
"With this card, I can use two monsters on my field to Synchro Summon, and Fusion Summon!" Sergey declared as the two monsters split to two.
Sapphire's eyes widened in shock hearing that. "Fusion and Synchro at the same time?" 'And without Clear World I'm at a huge disadvantage.'
"Level 3 Line Walker tunes level 5 Stone Sweeper!" Sergey called as the two flew up while Line Walker turns to 3 rings while Stone Sweeper turned to 5 stars.
(LV: 3 + 5 = 8)
"Revive from the depths of the earth. Gigantic beast with wings of punishment! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon!"

During your End Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, draw 1 card for each "Earthbound" monster that was Special Summoned this turn.
"Then other phase of protocol is fusing Stone Sweeper with Line Walker!" Sergey called as the two fused.
"Prisoner that crawls across the earth. Become one with the prisoner that walks the path of execution and become a gigantic beast that delivers out punishment! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"

Seeing that Sapphire frowned. 'What am I supposed to do now?'
She heard a beep before looking where Cloud said, "So I'm guessing Clear World's a nogo now huh? If it is then he would be unable to attack. But still it's no reason not to duel Sapphire. One of the biggest lessons in dueling is fighting even though you can't use your Deck's biggest strength. You can still use your cards to duel without using Clear World. You did beat those officers without it."
"I know that Cloud, and actually... I might have a different strategy I can try, that is assuming his deck works the way I think it does." Sapphire answered. 'If this plan works, I might just take him out in just one attack.'
"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Sergey ended his turn.
Sergey's Hand: 2/Field: Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon (Attack Position), Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken (Attack Position), One Set Card

''These are both equip cards that require me to pick an Attribute, so I'll pick your Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken and DARK for both cards."
Kraken glowed from both.
Geo Kraken: (Equipped with Attribute Bomb: DARK, and Attribute Mastery: DARK)
"Huh?" Cloud asked confused.
"I end my turn by summoning Clear Cube in attack mode." Sapphire finished with a smirk as a small cube in a clear crystal appeared.

Sergey 2nd Turn:
"My turn! Draw!" Sergey called drawing looking at his drawn card, "I place 1 card down, and attack Clear Cube with Geo Gryphon!"
The Synchro Monster charged in at Cube.
"Hold that thought, I play Attribute Gravity." Sapphire called.
Attribute Gravity
Continuous Trap Card
Monsters can only declare an attack on monsters with the same Attribute.
"This trap prevents prevents monsters from battling unless they have the same attribute, and while Clear Cube is a Dark monster like your Earthbound Servants, while he's on the field he isn't treated as a Dark monster."
Sergey called, "I activate the trap, Earthbound Spell Sealer!"
Earthbound Spell Sealer
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card while you have a face-up card in your Field Zone: Negate the activation, and if you do; destroy that card.
"As their is a card in the field zone when you activate a spell or trap that card's activation is negated!" Sergey called as Attribute Gravity is destroyed.
Sapphire's eyes widened before she looked only to notice an Action Card as she raced before grabbing it. "I play Overpass!"
Overpass
Action Spell Card

"It swaps our monster's attack points."

Cube: (ATK: 0 + 2500 = 2500)
Gryphon was struck destroyed. (Sergey: 1500) But Sergey doesn't look bothered calling, "Geo Gryphon's ability activates!"
"It what?" Sapphire asked in shock.
"When an Earthbound is destroyed, one monster on your field is destroyed!" Sergey called as a image of Geo Gryphon charged at Cube.
Sapphire's monster shattered only for a second Cube to appear.
"When Clear Cube is destroyed I can summon a new one from my hand or deck." she said quickly.
Clear Cube: (Defense Position)
Sergey then gestured, "Geo Kraken's ability activates! When a monster is summoned to my opponent's field during my turn those monsters are destroyed, and you take 800 points of damage for each!" Geo Kraken turned firing black smoke at the second Cube.
The second cube shattered only for a third to appear.
Clear Cube: (Defense Position)
(Sapphire: 3200)
"Geo Kraken attack that Cube!"
Geo Kraken bellowed whipping it's tentacles at the third Cube. Sapphire braced herself as her monster shattered. Sapphire braced herself as her monster shattered.
"Turn end." Sergey ended his turn.
Cloud watched on worried, "Oh Saph... She's in a bad spot."
Sergey's Hand: 2/Field: Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken (Attack Position/Equipped with Attribute Mastery, and Attribute Bomb/Declared: DARK), One Set Card
Allie's eyes suddenly widened. "Cloudy... no she's not."
Sapphire 2nd Turn:
Sapphire drew her card before her eyes widened. "I play Trade-In, this spell discards a level eight monster to let me draw two new cards."
Trade-In
Normal Spell Card
Discard 1 level 8 monster; Draw 2 cards.
She discarded a dragon before drawing and smiling. "Next, since you have more monsters than I do I can summon Clear Vicious Knight in attack mode."
A large warrior holding sword appeared.

Clear Vicious Knight

Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can have this card gain ATK equal to the original ATK of the face-up monster your opponent controls with the highest ATK, until the End Phase. If this card would be destroyed by battle, you can banish 1 "Clear" monster from your GY instead.
"Then thanks to my Clear Vicious Knight's ability, he gains the original attack points of your Geo Kraken!"
Vicious Knight glowed on Geo Kraken before Sergey called, "I activate Stone Sweeper's ability in my graveyard!" The fish popped out wrapping around Vicious Knight, "Clear Vicious Knight's abilities are negated this turn!"
Clear Vicious Knight: (Effects Negated)
Sapphire frowned hearing that. "Oh well, in that case I'll go with plan B, Return of the Dragon Lords."

"Clear Vice Dragon attack Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"
Clear Vice Dragon roared glowing before both of Sapphire's equip spells started glowing. Sapphire's eyes widened at that. 'That's right, Clear Vice Dragon still counts as a Dark Monster!'
"So now Sergey takes 1000 damage doesn't he?" Pip asked remembering the effects of the spell, "Even though Bomb equips to Geo Kraken, Sapphire can still deal damage with it's effect."
"Yes, and due to Mastery, Vice Dragon is destroyed..." Cloud answered before grinning, "Except that won't happen! By banishing Return of the Dragon Lords she can keep a Dragon on her field from being destroyed, and that doesn't exclude to her own effects!"\That's when to his shock Vice Dragon shattered while Sergey lost 1000 life points.
(Sergey: 0500)
'Clear Vice Dragon is protected from his effects, but Attribute Mastery is mine. Fortunately Clear Vicious Knight is still in play and I can use its ability on his turn when he attacks me.' Sapphire thought.
"Hey... Why didn't she use Return's protection effect?" Cloud asked blinking.
Allie frowned before her eyes widened. "She's trying to trick him into thinking she can't fight back."
Sergey turned over, "You given me your spells so you had driven yourself back this far!"
Sapphire grunted at that. "I... I end my turn."
secs ago"During this End Phase, Stone Sweeper's effect ends so Vicious Knight's abilities return to normal." Vicious Knight regained it's color.

Sergey 3rd Turn:
"My turn!" Sergey called drawing before turning, "Geo Kraken!"
Geo Kraken turned over attacking Vicious Knight.
"Big mistake, Clear Vicious Knight's ability is a Quick Effect." Sapphire stated as an aura appeared around her monster.
Clear Vicious Knight: (ATK: 2300 + 2800 = 5100)
Sergey watched in shock as Vicious Knight exited the crystal avoiding the tentacles as Sergey grunted, "Due to Geo Kraken's ability it isn't destroyed in battle!"
"But your life points won't survive this attack." Sapphire pointed out.
Vicious Knight slashed down at Geo Kraken as the shockwave reached Sergey triggering an explosion.

Sapphire wins!
Sapphire let out a sigh of relief before frowning. "This would be so much easier if I had my Field Spell."
That was when she became shock seeing Sergey... is a twitching robotic man sparking.
"What, a robot?" Sapphire asked before looking around. "Then... who's controlling it?"
"SAPH!"
She turned hearing that. They see Cloud, Allie, and Pip heading to her with Cloud trying to run but can't cause of his injury reaching to her.
"What are you three doing down here?" she asked while getting off her Duel Board and walking over to help Cloud.
Cloud hugged her tight which answers her question. Sapphire smiled hugging him back.
"That was an unexpected but very impressive display from Sapphire." Melissa announced. "Do we think any of the remaining duelists can follow that amazing performance? Well, only one way to find out right? Let's see who's up next."
The four headed back with Sapphire feeling her shoulder getting wet. She gently rubbed Cloud's shoulder at that. "It's ok."
"I... I was so worried about you... After you... You haven't protected Vice Dragon with Return..." Cloud cried in her shoulder.
Her eyes shot open. "That's right, I was so focused on Vice Dragon's protection that completely slipped my mind."
She suddenly frowned.
"A type of duel I'm not used to and my main strategy is completely shot, This might have been a mistake."
"Hey don't feel down. Take it from Allie, she managed to beat you at her second match after you used Dark Illusion." Pip assured her rubbing her back, "You can learn from your mistakes, and try again."
Sapphire nodded as they reached the room before turning to see who was dueling next before images of Molly and Yuya appeared.
"Isn't that..." Allie trailed off recognizing Molly.
"Yeah, I think it is." Sapphire nodded.
"Saph..." Cloud sobbed before pulling back wiping his eyes, "Saph... Please, I want to show you how much, I love you."
Her eyes widened before she blushed. "Oh... um, ok."
"Uh... he doesn't mean what I think he means?" Pip asked Allie nervously.
"I think he does." Allie replied.
"But... Their still really young." Pip blushed brighter.
"We're growing up fast." Allie admitted.
Sapphire helped Cloud into the room as he sniffed wiping his eyes.
"What... do you want to do?" she asked him.
"L-Lay down, Saph." Cloud told her.
She nodded lying down. Cloud laid down beside her kissing her. Sapphire blushed kissing him back. Cloud then takes her shirt pulling it up. She blushed doing the same to him.
"Just you." Cloud told her softly.
"Ok." Sapphire nodded closing her eyes.
Cloud pulled her shirt off before softly rubbing her torso. She shuddered softly. Cloud then reached taking off her bottom clothes revealing her body to him as he smiled, "Your always so lovely Saph. Your body's like a real sapphire."
She turned red at that. "Flatterer."
"It's true." Cloud said rubbing her body.
Sapphire blushed brightly at that. Cloud continued rubbing her body before asking, "Did... Did he hurt you?"
"No, he didn't." she answered.
Cloud nodded before laying a gentle kiss on her body.
"Cloud." Sapphire sighed gently.
"I wanted to make sure your okay." she heard him whisper.
She embraced him gently. "I am, thank you Cloud."
Cloud hugged her back rubbing her back, "I wish I can do more without my injury..."
"You do plenty." she smiled softly before kissing him.
Cloud smiled before frowning.
"Cloud?" she asked.
"I'm so sorry, Saph... You had gotten into the tournament without your biggest strength." Cloud said guilty, "And if it wasn't for Overpass you would lose cause Attribute Gravity doesn't really work."
"It's fine, I managed to win and I won't make the same mistake again." she reassured him.
"Uh... Can you turn?" Cloud asked her.
"Which way?" Sapphire asked. "Facing you or away from you?"
"Away." Cloud answered.
She turned away from him at that. He helped her move so her back was facing him.
"What are you up to?" she inquired.
She felt a soft kiss on her butt. She gasped at that. She feels Cloud snuggling on her back reaching his hands to her chest softly rubbing it.
She moaned softly.
"Saph... Do you remember this? Back when I was with you?" Cloud asked her.
"Yeah, I do." she sighed.
Cloud remembers it.
Flashback...
It was a few weeks after Cloud had met Sapphire, and he was by her side while acting as a servant but doesn't mind. He arrived on time at her room where he sees her holding her chest which made him ask worried, "Saph-Sorry, Miss. Sapphire? What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's you." she frowned before wincing. "Of all the days for him to take off."
"Your... massager is having a day off?" Cloud asked hearing that walking over softly before asking, "Does that mean you need some unwinding Miss. Sapphire?"
Hearing that she turned to him. "Give me your hands."
Hearing that he gulped before saying, "O-Okay. I am still practicing but I hope what I learned so far is enough." With that the two laid down as he carefully reached his hands to her.
She grabbed them and looked at his hands. "Soft, but they could work. Very well, my chest is aching. Massage it, but don't try anything funny, am I clear?"
Cloud flinched but nodded slowly starting to rub her chest. Sapphire sighed. "That's fine, continue until I tell you to stop."
He smiled a little as he continued rubbing her chest with a soft smile to help her. They continued for five minutes.
"Alright stop." Sapphire said quickly.
Hearing that he instantly pulled back stepping away.
"You're not that bad." Sapphire admitted. "I'll consider asking you again."
"I'm-I'm glad to help you Miss Sapphire." Cloud smiled his heart full of pride bowing to her.
She just nodded waving him off. Cloud walked off with a smile.
Flashback End:
"Even though I was only being a servant to you... Hearing you giving your gratitude like that was something I can't forget." Cloud had a soft smile hugging Sapphire close to him.
"I really was horrible." she whispered sadly.
"No... Your not. You gave me a chance to help you, and appreciated me. Your still good back then." Cloud said turning her over before kissing her.
She had tears before hugging him. He then starts kissing down her body. She shuddered at that. "Cloud..."
"Sapphire... Can I..." Cloud trailed off staring at her breasts.
She looked at him in confusion before her eyes widened and she turned bright red. "That... I mean... if you want."
Cloud nodded before closing his eyes starting to suck on her. She shuddered slightly before gently rubbing his head. Cloud continued with closed eyes softly doing this. Sapphire sighed and continued rubbing his head.
Ulrich362: Well, Sapphire managed to win and is spending some time with her boyfriend to relax. That's good.
bopdog111: Yeah. What's up next?
Ulrich362: Molly AKA the Maiden in Love is going up against Yuya Sakaki, and there might be another duel after theirs. Along with potential fluff. See you in the next chapter.
