Ulrich362: Like I said, four duels. So let's not waste any time and see what happens. Enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!

Yudo, Celina, Crow, and Amy all stepped up to the arena for the semi-finals of the Friendship Cup to start.

"And now pay attention to the big screen for our semi-final match-ups!" Melissa called as the four pictures were shuffled.

"So who's up first?" Crow asked as they looked at the pictures.

The pictured finished showing who's against who.

Celina vs Amy, and Yudo vs Crow.

"Looks like it's our turn." Celina smiled to Amy. "I won't hold back against you."

Amy nodded with a smile as they readied themselves.

"Let's DUEL!" they called together.

"And Amy managed to get first!" Melissa called.

Amy 1st Turn:

"Alright." Celina smiled seeing the monsters.

"Do those two look like Shark, and Vector?" Yudo asked shocked seeing Amy's Pendulum monsters.

"Yeah, all her Pendulum Monsters look like them." Shay nodded.

Amy then called, "Coldest Winters gather here! Join your King, and Queen into the Kingdom to channel the greatest of Frost Storms! Pendulum Summon! Come before me my monsters!"

The portal shot two monsters as their revealed.

"Arctic Girl, and then I Normal Summon Arctic Knight!"

"Due to Girl's ability all monsters gain 500 points!" Amy called as Girl casted a spell.

Arctic Girl: (ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500)

"Arctic Knight means you're planning a powerful Synchro or Xyz Summon right?" Celina recalled.

"I use his ability 4 times!" Amy called as Knight grew.

Knight: (ATK: 3000 - (500 * 4) = 1000/LV: 1 + 4 = 5)

"Two level five monsters." Carlita whispered in awe seeing that.

"The question is which one is she going to use?" Lulu asked.

"Two level five monsters." Carlita whispered in awe seeing that.

"The question is which one is she going to use?" Lulu asked.

"Now I overlay level 5 Arctic Girl, and Arctic Knight," the two glowed blue entering the Overlay Network, "In order to build the Overlay Network!"

"Queen of the Arctic Winds! Rejoice to your faithful subjects, and conjure a storm capable of lasting for your Kingdom's needs! Xyz Summon! Rank 5, Number 94: Crystalzero!"

"Then I activate the Equip Spell, Arctic Mask!" Amy added as she used a spell where a pure ice faceless blue-eyed mask appeared attaching itself on Crystalzero's face.

(Equipped to Number 94: Crystalzero)

"The equipped monster loses 300 points!" Amy said to Celina.

Crystalzero: (ATK: 2200 - 300 = 1900)

"But now she's an Arctic in play which means King can give her points!" King meditated as the Barian Emblem appeared powering up Crystalzero.

Crystalzero: (ATK: 1900 + 300 = 2200/DEF: 1600 + 300 = 1900)

"Alright." Celina nodded seeing that.

Amy then told her opponent, "I end my turn with that."

Celina 1st Turn:

"Then it's my move so first I'll use the spell card Lunalight Fusion." Celina grinned playing the card.

Lunalight Fusion

Normal Spell Card

Fusion Summon 1 "Lunalight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material. If your opponent controls a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you can also use 1 "Lunalight" monster in your Deck or Extra Deck as Fusion Material. You can only activate 1 "Lunalight Fusion" per turn.

"This spell let's me Fusion Summon a Lunalight monster, but since you have a monster from the Extra Deck in play, I can use a monster from my deck or Extra Deck as one of the materials."

Amy widen her eyes slightly hearing that.

"So I think, I'll merge together Lunalight Yellow Marten, Lunalight Emerald Bird, and Lunalight Panther Dancer in order to Fusion Summon Lunalight Leo Dancer in attack mode." Celina called as her strongest monster appeared.

Amy grunted before calling, "Well Arctic Joker will weaken your monsters!" The Barian Emblem appeared above Joker as he meditated giving energy, "Your monsters lose 300 of their attack, and defense points!"

Lunalight Leo Dancer: (ATK: 3500 - 300 = 3200/DEF: 3000 - 300 = 2700)

Lunalight Yellow Marten: (ATK: 800 - 300 = 500/DEF: 2000 - 300 = 1700)

"Maybe, but that won't last for long since I can summon Lunalight White Rabbit in attack mode." Celina continued.

Lunalight Emerald Bird: (ATK: 1200 - 300 = 900/DEF: 1000 - 300 = 700)

"Four monsters already?" Yudo asked shocked.

"Well... consider me very impressed." Yuri admitted. "There's clearly more to her than I thought."

"Lunalight Emerald Bird has an ability when I summon her, I can send Lunalight Serenade Dance to the graveyard to draw a card, and then Lunalight White Rabbit returns one spell or trap card you control to your hand for every other Lunalight on my field and with three that means your Pendulum Scale and your Arctic Mask return to your hand." Celina revealed.

Shocked Amy watched as White Rabbit charged an effect as she looked around grabbing an Action card looking, "I activate Detour!"

Detour

Action Spell Card

Negate the effect of 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.

"This negates White Rabbit's ability, and deals you 500 points of damage!" Amy told Celina.

Celina's eyes widened at that as she was blasted.

(Celina: 3500/Hand: 2)

"Alright, well I can do this... I set the Pendulum Scale with scale 1 Lunalight Wolf, and scale 5 Lunalight Tiger." Celina mentioned.

"Lunalight Wolf's Pendulum Ability lets me banish Lunalight Panther Dancer, Lunalight Yellow Marten, and Lunalight Emerald Bird in order to Fusion Summon Lunalight Sabre Dancer in attack mode." Celina called as a new Fusion appeared next to Leo Dancer.

(Attack Position)

You can only use this effect of "Lunalight Sabre Dancer" once per turn.

Amy blinked before calling, "Arctic Joker lowers her points!" With the Emblem glowing Joker sent a sonic wave at Sabre Dancer.

Lunalight Sabre Dancer: (ATK: 3000 - 300 = 2700/DEF: 2600 - 300 = 2300)

"Maybe, but for every Beast-Warrior that's banished or in the graveyard Sabre Dancer gains 200 attack points." Celina revealed.

Lunalight Sabre Dancer: (ATK: 2700 + (200 * 3) = 3300)

"Now, Sabre Dancer attack Number 94 Crystalzero!" Celina called.

Sabre Dancer charged only for Amy to call, "I activate Crystalzero's special ability!"

Crystalzero takes a Unit in her spear as it build ice powers. (ORU: 2 - 1) "I target a monster, and cut that monster's points in half!" Amy revealed to her.

"Good try Amy, but both Sabre Dancer and Leo Dancer can't be targeted by your effects." Celina revealed.

Amy widen her eyes, "What?" She grunted before saying, "In that case, to lower the risk, I'll chose Lunalight White Rabbit instead." Crystalzero fired an ice storm at Lunalight White Rabbit.

Lunalight White Rabbit: (ATK: 500/2 = 250)

"Sabre Dancer's attack continues." Celina reminded her.

Sabre Dancer charged slashing down Crystalzero as Amy stabilized on her Duel Board. (Amy: 2900/Hand: 0) Amy then said, "Well here's this next part! Due to Arctic Mask's effect since Crystalzero was destroyed while having an Overlay Unit, she revives! Return from Limbo!"

Crystalzero popped out of the graveyard portal this time defending.

Number 94: Crystalzero: (Defense Position)

"Then since Crystalzero is Rank 5, Mask's other effect deals you 1000 points of damage!" Crystalzero fired a blast of ice at Celina.

(Celina: 2500/Hand: 0)

Celina frowned at that. "Well Leo Dancer can attack Crystalzero."

Leo Dancer charged in forward only for Amy to take a second Action Card, "Not when, I activate Blinding Blizzard!"

Blinding Blizzard

Action Spell Card

End the Battle Phase.

"This card ends the battle instantly!" Amy called as a blizzard like forcefield build around her, and Crystalzero.

Suddenly the Blizzard faded.

"Sorry Amy, but Action Crush says otherwise." Celina told her revealing the card.

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.

Leo Dancer slashed down Crystalzero destroying her but Amy doesn't take damage.

"Leo Dancer can attack twice." Celina smiled. "No hard feelings Amy, but after how much you praised his skill I couldn't resist the chance to test your brother myself."

Yudo hearing that shrugged, "Ah well... there can be other chances for me to duel Amy. Guess this isn't that."

"You could duel when we get to your home." Carlita suggested. "Plus, we can meet your old friends right?"

Yudo smiled as Leo Dancer charged slashing down Amy again before Celina heard her say, "Then Celina... Don't hold back against my brother."

Amy: 0000

Hand: 0

Field: Arctic King (Pendulum), Arctic Joker (Pendulum)

Celina wins!

"I won't." she smiled.

"And with that folks Celina had stomped Amy in a one turn kill despite Amy's numerous efforts to resist! And now let's see if Yudo can have much luck against his second Winged Beast opponent, Crow Hogan!" Melissa announced as the next duelists walked forward next to duel.

"I'm looking forward to this one." Crow grinned.

Yudo nodded back with a smile, "Me too." The two settled getting ready.

"Hey, why don't you take the first turn." Crow offered. "I don't mind."

Yudo blinked before smiling, "Okay... But unlike my sis, I'm not gonna let you beat me in one turn."

"Don't make promises you can't keep Yudo." Crow smirked. "My Blackwings are powerful."

"Ready, and... GO!" Melissa called.

"DUEL!" the two took off with Yudo being ahead.

(Dueling Theme: Red Cold River by Breaking Benjamin)

Yudo: 4000

Crow: 4000

Hand: 5

Field: Nothing

Let the duel commence!

Yudo 1st Turn:

"My go!" Yudo said looking at his hand, and looked surprised seeing Super Polymerization is among his hand.

"Interesting, so is this a sign that I should be the one dueling?" Yuri inquired with a smirk.

Yudo shook his head saying, 'I think it's more like I should incorporate Starving Venom into my strategies...' With that he looked before calling, "I'll summon Darkened Crystal Gem!"

What rose was a crystal that is blue with a black inside.

(Attack Position)

Darkened Crystal Gem

WATER

Level 1

Rock/Effect

ATK: 0

DEF: 400

This card's Attribute is also treated as DARK. When this card is used as Fusion Material or Tributed for the Ritual Summon of a Dragon monster: You can draw 1 card. If a Dragon monster(s) you control should leave the field by an opponent's effect: You can banish this card from your GY instead.

"Darkened Crystal?" Crow inquired. "That's different."

"I then place 3 cards down. Your up." Yudo ended his turn.

Yudo's Hand: 1/Field: Darkened Crystal Gem (Attack Position), Three Set Cards

Crow 1st Turn:

"That's it?" Crow asked. "Well, if you're sure. I'll start with the spell card Black Whirlwind."

Black Whirlwind

Continuous Spell Card

When a "Blackwing" monster is Normal Summoned to your field: You can add 1 "Blackwing" monster from your Deck to your hand with less ATK than that monster.

"Now whenever I summon a Blackwing I can add a Blackwing with less attack points to my hand. So why not start off right away with Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame in attack mode."

(Attack Position)

Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame

DARK

Level 4

Winged Beast/Effect

ATK: 1800

DEF: 1200

When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Blackwing" monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck, but its effects are negated.

"So what Blackwing are you adding?" Yudo asked curiously.

"An old classic, Blackwing - Kalut the Moonshadow." Crow answered. "Then, since birds of a feather flock together I'll bring out Blackwing - Bora the Spear in attack mode."

(Attack Position)

Blackwing - Bora the Spear

DARK

Level 4

Winged-Beast/Effect

ATK: 1700

DEF: 800

If you control a "Blackwing" monster other than "Blackwing - Bora the Spear", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage.

"Now I'll set two cards, and have Shura attack your Darkened Crystal Gem."

Shura charged in as Yudo grinned, "I activate my face-down! The spell known as Super Polymerization!"

The powerful Fusion Spell was flipped.

Super Polymerization

Quick-Play Spell Card

Discard 1 card; Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from either field as Fusion Material. Neither player can activate cards or effects in response to this card's activation.

"Say what?" Crow questioned in shock hearing that.

"This card allows me to fuse monsters on either our fields by discarding a card." Yudo discarded his last card before adding, "And then you can't do anything to stop Super Polymerization! I fuse Shura on your field, and Darkened Crystal Gem on mine!"

Crow's eyes widened as the two monsters entered the Fusion Vortex.

"That way, I can Fusion Summon Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"

Yuri's dragon rose up tall behind him roaring loud.

(Attack Position)

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon

DARK

Level 8

Dragon/Fusion/Effect

ATK: 2800

DEF: 2000

2 DARK monsters on the field, except Tokens
If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can make this card gain ATK equal to 1 opponent's Special Summoned monster, until the end of this turn. Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's original name, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: You can destroy all your opponent's Special Summoned monsters.

Crow's eyes widened in shock seeing the dragon before smirking. 'That thing might be big, but I can still take it down.'

The Lancers, and their allies were shocked meanwhile that Yudo summoned Yuri's dragon. All of them except Amy, Yuya, and Carlita. Yudo then added, "When Darkened Crystal Gem is used to summon a Dragon, I draw a card." He drew before adding, "Then Starving Venom's ability activates! When Fusion Summoned, he gains attack points equal to a Special Summoned monster's on your field!"

Crow's eyes widened as he turned to his remaining monster. "But that means your dragon has 4500 attack points!"

"I didn't chose to fuse with Bora for a reason." Yudo smiled as Starving Venom roared loud.

Starving Venom: (ATK: 2800 + 1700 = 4500)

"This way Bora with Kalut's effect wouldn't be strong enough to defeat Starving Venom, and Crow wouldn't summon another monster when Shura destroys a monster." Sentital said to Yuri about Yudo's strategy.

"I figured as much, in case you're forgotten Starving Venom is my monster, I think I know how to make the most use of him." Yuri replied.

Crow frowned at that. "I set two cards and end my turn."

Crow's Hand: 1/Field: Blackwing - Bora the Spear (Attack Position), Black Whirlwind (Face-up), Two Set Cards

With it not his turn anymore Starving Venom lost his boost. (ATK: 4500 - 1700 = 2800)

Yudo: 4000

Hand: 1

Field: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

Crow: 4000

Hand: 1

Field: Blackwing - Bora the Spear (Attack Position), Black Whirlwind (face-up), Two Set Cards

During your opponent's Battle Phase: You can banish this card from your GY, and target 1 monster you control: It cannot be destroyed, or be effected to other card effects this turn.

"With it, by using Crystal Barian as the whole Tribute, I get to summon my own dragon!" Yudo called as the crystals built at large, "Come, Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon!"

Frozen Heart shattered out of the ice roaring loud.

(Attack Position)

Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Frozen Justice". When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Gain LP equal to either it's ATK or DEF (whichever is lower). You can only activate, and resolve this effect if your LP is lower then your opponent's. Once per turn, you can Tribute this face-up card you control, and target 1 monster you control: It gains ATK equal to half the original ATK of this card. During the End Phase if this card is Tributed: Special Summon this card from the GY.

"Two dragons?" Crow asked in disbelief. 'Not good, I don't have any tuners in my hand right now.'

Yudo then called, "Then I use Frozen Heart's ability!" Frozen Heart vanished as it's ice armor embedded itself on Starving Venom, "Starving Venom gains half his attack points!"

Starving Venom roared loud at this. (ATK: 2800 + (2400 / 2) = 4000)

"Why would you do that?" Crow asked him. "You could have attacked with both your dragons."

"Bora's points will still be above Starving Venom with Kalut's ability." Yudo answered, "Kalut's ability works when a Blackwing battles. Alright Starving Venom attack Bora the Spear!"

Starving Venom roared charging an attack at Bora the Spear.

"Sorry, but I had this up my sleeve." Crow grinned. "The trap card Black Sonic!"

Black Sonic

Normal Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack on a "Blackwing" monster you control: Banish all face-up Attack Position monsters your opponent controls. If you control exactly 3 "Blackwing" monsters (and no other monsters), you can activate this card from your hand.

"When you attack a Blackwing monster this trap banishes every monster you have in attack mode."

Yudo smiled, "As expected Crow... But I have a card here. I activate the Counter Trap, Solemn Judgement!"

To everyone's shock he activated one of the most strongest 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.

(Yudo: 2000/Hand: 0)

"By trading half my points, Black Sonic is stopped in it's tracks!" Yudo called.

Crow's eyes widened as his trap shattered. "Then I don't have any choice but to use Kalut's effect."

Blackwing - Bora the Spear: (ATK: 1700 + 1400 = 3100)

Starving Venom attacked Bora destroying him but didn't dealt as much damage as it would've dealt. (Crow: 3100/Hand: 0)

Yudo smiled, "Then I end my turn. And Frozen Heart rejoins the battle."

Frozen Heart popped up growling.

Frozen Heart: (Attack Position)

Yudo's Hand: 0/Field: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (Attack Position), Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon (Attack Position)

Yudo 3rd Turn:

"My turn!" Yudo drew looking to see what he drawn.

'This is bad.' Crow thought looking at the field. 'I have one chance to turn things around but I'll need the perfect draw.'

"Alright Frozen Heart attack his face-down!" Yudo called as his Ritual Dragon charged an attack at Crow's face-down.

The monster shattered from the attack instantly.

"And since my Life Points are lower Frozen Heart gives me Life Points equal to your destroyed monster's attack or defense points, whichever is lower." Yudo added to Crow as Frozen Heart let out cool vapors on Yudo.

"Sorry, but Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor has zero defense points." Crow revealed.

Yudo shrugged as the vapors faded, "In that case, Starving Venom attack Crow directly!" Starving Venom charged an attack firing it at Crow.

The blast hit as Crow cried out.

(Crow: 0300/Hand: 0)

Yudo sets a card before smiling to Crow, "I end my turn Crow."

Yudo's Hand: 0/Field: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (Attack Position), Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon (Attack Position), One Set Card

Crow 3rd Turn:

Crow looked at his deck before closing his eyes. 'I've got one chance... I need to draw that monster right now.'

"My move!"

He drew at this looking to see. Seeing the card Crow's eyes widened before he froze. "This is going to be the most insane move I've ever tried Yudo but it just might work. I summon Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite in attack mode."

Level 4

Winged Beast/Effect

If this card is in your GY: You can return 1 face-up card you control to the hand; Special Summon this card, and if you do, take 400 damage. You can only use this effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" once per Duel.

(Attack Position)

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind

DARK

Level 3

Winged Beast/Tuner/Effect

If you control a "Blackwing" monster other than "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; that target's ATK and DEF become half its current ATK and DEF.

'Is he gonna use Armored Master?' Yudo thought seeing this.

"Now, I use the effect of Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor in my graveyard, by banishing it along with Shura I can summon a level five Blackwing Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck as long as I negate its special abilities." Crow explained as the two monsters appeared only to vanish. "I summon Assault Blackwing - Sohaya the Rain Storm!"

(Effects Negated)

Assault Blackwing - Sohaya the Rainstorm

You can only use each of these effects of "Assault Blackwing - Sohaya the Rain Storm" once per turn. ● When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target 1 "Assault Blackwing" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. ● During your Main Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can banish 1 other "Assault Blackwing - Sohaya the Rain Storm" from your GY; Special Summon this card.

"Then, I'll use Level Retuner!"

Level Retuner

Normal Trap Card

Reduce the Level of 1 face-up monster you control by up to 2.

"It lowers Sohaya's level by two."

Sohaya: (LV: 5 - 2 = 3)

"Now Gale the Whirlwind cuts the attack and defense points of your Ritual Dragon in half." Crow continued as Gale created a powerful gust of wind that struck Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon.

Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon: (ATK: 2400/2 = 1200/DEF: 1800/2 = 900)

"Now, level three Gale the Whirlwind tunes with level four Zephyros the Elite and level three Sohaya the Rain Storm!"

Gale became three green rings while Zephyros and Sohaya turned into seven stars.

(LV: 3 + 4 + 3 = 10)

"I'm betting the entire duel on this guy, one of my best cards. I Synchro Summon, Blackwing Full Armor Master!"

Crystal Mirror

Normal Trap Card

When your opponent declares an attack: Negate that attack, also your opponent takes damage equal to half the ATK of the attacking monster.

"Full Armor Master is unaffected by the effects of other cards." Crow told Yudo.

"This isn't affecting it at all. It stops it's attack, and then you take damage equal to half of his attack points." Yudo explained to Crow.

"Are you serious?" Crow asked in disbelief.

Full Armored Master punched a crystal mirror that shattered, and the shards all shot at Crow. Crow braced himself as the shards hit him wiping out the last of his life points.

Yudo: 2000

Hand: 0

Field: Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon (Attack Position/ATK: 1200/DEF: 900), Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (Attack Position)

Crow: 0000

Hand: 0

Yudo wins!

Melissa cried, "And with that everyone our final two duelists have been decided! The strong willed Queen of the Wilds, Celina, against the Crystal Wonder of the Dragons, Yudo Akaba!"

"Good luck." Amy smiled to Yudo as he and Crow raced back to the group.

Yudo sighed a bit before admitting, "I didn't expect to have a chance to summon Yuri's dragon in that match."

Seeing that she frowned. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm okay sis." Yudo smiled before saying, "And now it's just me, and Celina in the final match."

Amy nodded at that. "Good luck."

He nodded before kissing Carlita's cheek. Carlita blushed slightly.

Carlita blushed slightly.

"Alright Yudo, you saw how I dueled against your sister but I have a few more tricks to use against you." Celina told him.

Yudo nodded before offering, "Then may the best duelist win."

Celina smiled as they rode to the starting line. "Don't worry, I plan on it."

They armed themselves at the starting line.

"All right duel fans, it all comes down to this. Let the final match begin!" Melissa announced.

"Let's Duel!" Yudo and Celina called as they raced off with Celina barely pulling ahead.

Celina's Hand: 2/Field: One Set Monster, Two Set Cards

Yudo 1st Turn:

"My turn." Yudo drew looking at his hand.

"This should be interesting." Yuri smirked.

Yudo: 4000

"You'll find out." Yudo smiled to her.

Celina 2nd Turn:

Celina just shrugged drawing her card.

"Well, if you want to play that way I'll flip Lunalight Purple Butterfly into attack mode and try to attack you directly."

Celina's eyes widened at that. "I end my turn."

Celina's Hand: 3/Field: Lunalight Purple Butterfly (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

"During the end phase Statue returns to being set." Yudo said as Statue faded.

Target 1 monster your opponent controls: Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (LV ?/?/ATK 0/DEF 0) with the same Level, and Monster Type as that monster. You can only control 1 "Crystal Clone" on the field.

"This copies a monster on your field!" Yudo said as a clone of Purple Butterfly made of pure crystals appeared.

Crystal Clone: (Defense Position/Type: Beast-Warrior/LV: 3)

"A copy of my Purple Butterfly?" Celina asked seeing that.

"Then I'll summon Crystal Shark!" Yudo added as the shark rose up.

"I Synchro Summon! Crystal Sage!" the monster he used against Lulu rose up appearing.

You can only activate each effect of "Crystal Sage" once per turn.

"Alright." Celina smiled.

"When summoned you can summon a level 4 or lower monster from your hand." Yudo told her.

"I remember, but I also remember that's an optional effect so I won't summon anything." Celina recalled. "Of course that means you don't get to summon a monster either."

"Well, I'll have Sage attack Purple Butterfly!" Yudo called as Sage charged at Purple Butterfly.

Celina's monster shattered only for her to smirk. "Thank you Yudo."

(Celina: 2800/Hand: 3)

"When a monster I control is destroyed I can use Lunalight Reincarnation Dance to add two Lunalight monsters to my hand, and I think I'll add Lunalight Wolf and Lunalight Tiger."

"The effect of Kaleido Chick lets me send Lunalight Panther Dancer to my graveyard to let me treat Kaleido Chick as Panther Dancer if I Fusion Summon, and then I'll use the same card I used against Amy. I activate Lunalight Fusion!"

Yudo widen his eye as the spell appeared.

Lunalight Fusion

"I'll use it to fuse Kaleido Chick with Lunalight Cat Dancer in my Extra Deck, and Lunalight Crimson Fox in my hand to Fusion Summon Lunalight Sabre Dancer in attack mode." Celina smiled.

Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect

ATK: 3500

DEF: 3000

Celina's ultimate monster rose up readying.

"Now two more things happen, first since Lunalight Kaleido Chick was banished I can activate her other effect." Celina told Yudo. "Though right now the more pressing matter for you is my Lunalight Serenade Dance trap card, since I just Fusion Summoned this trap summons a 2000 attack and defense points Lunalight Token to your field in attack mode."

(face-up)

Lunalight Serenade Dance

Continuous Trap Card

When a Fusion Monster(s) is Fusion Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 of those monsters; apply these effects in sequence.
● Special Summon 1 "Lunalight Token" (Beast-Warrior/DARK/Level 4/ATK 2000/DEF 2000) to your opponent's field. ● That target gains 500 ATK for each monster your opponent controls (even if this card leaves the field).

ATK: 2000

DEF: 2000

This card can be used as a "Lunalight Token".

*If used for another Token, apply that Token's Type/Attribute/Level/ATK/DEF.

"So how much is that?" Yudo asked looking up.

"You have the token I gave you, and Crystal Sage." Celina answered. "Two monsters, and 1000 more attack points for my Leo Dancer."

Lunalight Leo Dancer: (ATK: 3500 + (500 * 2) = 4500)

"Points she'll put straight to use, Lunalight Leo Dancer attack the Lunalight Token!"

Leo Dancer charged only for Yudo to call, "I activate the trap Crystal Mine!"

"Since I'll take battle damage, I can cut it in half, and summon a Crystal from the graveyard to end the battle!" Yudo said to Celina.

"ERROR!"

"Huh?" Yudo asked looking at his Duel Disk, "What happened?"

"Remember how I said banishing Kaleido Chick activated her other ability?" Celina asked him. "Well, that ability prevents you from using cards or effects during the Battle Phase this turn... meaning you can't do anything to stop my attacks."

Leo Dancer slashed down destroying the Token. (Yudo: 1500/Hand: 3)

"Since Leo Dancer battled, her ability destroys every special summoned monster you control." Celina told Yudo as Crystal Sage shattered. "Now, Leo Dancer attack him directly and end this duel!"

To her shock Leo Dancer isn't attacking again.

"What?" Celina questioned.

Yudo answered with a smile, "It's true Kaleido Chick stops me during the battle phase. But before the battle begun, I discarded Crystal Star from my hand so now you can only attack one time this turn."

Celina's eyes widened before she chuckled. "I end my turn."

Celina's Hand: 1/Field: Lunalight Wolf (Pendulum), Lunalight Tiger (Pendulum), Lunalight Leo Dancer (Attack Position/ATK: 4500), Lunalight Sabre Dancer (Attack Position/ATK: 4000), Lunalight Serenade Dance (Face-Up)

Yudo 3rd Turn:

"Alright my turn!" Yudo drew looking.

"Well, how are you getting out of this one?" Yuri inquired.

Yudo soon smiled, "Well I'll start by activating Crystal Star's ability in the graveyard!"

"From your graveyard?" Celina asked in surprise.

"By banishing it, I can summon a Crystal from my Deck equal to how many monsters you have." Yudo explained.

Celina frowned. "Two monsters."

Yudo searched his Deck before calling, "I'll summon two Crystal Ninjas!"

The two Ninjas popped up readying.

(Defense Position)

Celina frowned at that.

"Then with one of their abilities since, I had summoned him while another one is on the field, I can take a Ritual Spell, or a Rank-Up-Magic to my hand." Yudo added as he added the card before adding, "Then I'll summon Crystal Marskman!"

At that a crystal soldier holding a rifle rose up.

(Attack Position)

Crystal Marskman

"I have a bad feeling about this." Celina frowned.

"Well Marksman makes my two Ninjas the same level as his!" Yudo called as the two Ninjas glowed.

Ninja: (LV: 2 + 2 = 4)

"Three level four monsters can only mean one thing." Celina frowned.

"I overlay my three monsters!" Yudo called as the three flew up as the Overlay Network was formed, "I Xyz Summon! Number 104: Masquerade!"

Masquerade rose up readying.

(ORU: 3)

"Your monster is too weak to help you Yudo." Celina reminded him.

Yudo only smiled, "Remember the card, I added to my hand with Ninja?"

"Unfortunately." Celina admitted. "Seventh One?"

"If I did added that one I'm not able to use it." Yudo answered before calling, "I use Rank-Up-Magic Crystal Adversity!"

Rank-Up-Magic Crystal Adversity

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Number C" or "Crystal" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster you control, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) The Summoned monster's Attribute becomes WATER, also it gains this effect:
● Once per turn during either player's turn when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Negate the activation, and if you do banish it.

"Well, I knew it was a Rank-Up card." Celina mentioned with a smile.

Masquerade flew up entering the Overlay Network as Yudo called, "Go Chaos Xyz Evolution! Chaos Number 104: Umbral Horror Masquerade!"

Umbral Horror Masquerade rose up readying himself.

(Attack Position)

Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade

(ORU: 4)

"That could be a problem." Celina frowned.

"Well since he's summoned that Serenade Dance is gone!" Yudo called as Umbral Horror Masquerade attacked, "Destroy Step!"

Celina's trap shattered at that as she frowned. "Well Leo Dancer still keeps her points."

Yudo then looks his hand calling, "Then I activate the equip spell, Crystal Mask!"

A mask made of pure crystals like Arctic Mask appeared attaching on his monster.

(Equipped to Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade)

Crystal Mask

Equip Spell Card

● 4: Gain 1000 LP.
● 5: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
● 6: Destroy 1 Spell/Trap on the field.
You can only activate 1 "Crystal Mask" per turn.

Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade: (Equipped with Crystal Mask)

Celina smiled at that. "That looks familiar, it's just like Amy's card."

"Well instead of lowering his points he gains 400 points for each monster you have." Yudo explained.

Umbral Horror Masquerade: (ATK: 3000 + (2 * 400) = 3800)

"That's not bad Yudo, but Sabre Dancer and Leo Dancer both have at least 4000 attack points." Celina reminded him.

Yudo only grinned, "Not for long cause I activate the spell, Crystal Wind!"

Umbral Horror Masquerade gained a wand made of crystals.

(Equipped to Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade)

Crystal Wand

Equip Spell Card

Equip only to 1 "Number" or 1 WATER Xyz monster you control. Effects will be revealed.

Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade: (Equipped with Crystal Wand)

Celina frowned at that. 'What does that mean?'

"He gains 300 points." Yudo first said.

Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade: (ATK: 3800 + 300 = 4100)

"I have a bad feeling." Celina admitted.

"Then go Masquerade! Attack Sabre Dancer!" Masquerade charged in.

Celina braced herself as her monster shattered.

(Celina: 2700/Hand: 1)

"Since Masquerade destroyed your monster for every Overlay Unit, you take 500 points of damage." Yudo added with a grin as Masquerade's four overlay units charged at Celina.

Her eyes widened as she was blasted.

(Celina: 0700/Hand: 1)

"Oh, and with that move Yudo takes the lead." Melissa announced.

"Plus Yudo's in a home-stretch." Amy smiled.

"Maybe, but Leo Dancer is still the most powerful monster in play and with its ability to attack twice and being unable to be destroyed or targeted by Yudo's effects Celina's in a strong position herself." Lulu pointed out.

Yudo then said, "I end my turn."

Yudo's Hand: 1/Field: Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade: (Attack Position/ATK 4100/Equipped with Crystal Mask & Crystal Wand/ORU: 4), One Set Card

Yudo: 1500

Hand: 1

Celina: 0700

Hand: 1

Field: Lunalight Wolf (Pendulum), Lunalight Tiger (Pendulum), Lunalight Leo Dancer (Attack Position/ATK: 4500)

Celina 4th Turn:

Celina drew her card and smiled. "I banish Lunalight Purple Butterfly from my graveyard in order to summon Lunalight Blue Cat from my hand."

(Attack Position)

Lunalight Blue Cat

DARK

Level 4

Beast-Warrior/Effect

ATK: 1600

DEF: 1200

If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Lunalight" monster you control, except "Lunalight Blue Cat"; its ATK becomes double its original ATK until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Lunalight Blue Cat" once per turn. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Lunalight" monster from your Deck.

"When she's Special Summoned the attack points of one other Lunalight Monster I control become double its original attack points. That means Leo Dancer's attack points become 7000!"

Blue Cat charged only for Yudo to grin, "Sorry Celina, I can't let you do that."

"What?" Celina questioned.

Yudo raised his arm up, "Masquerade's ability activates! When you activate the effect of a monster, I can use an Overlay Unit," Umbral Horror Masquerade takes the unit in his wand (ORU: 4 - 3), "so the effect can be negated! But not only that, you discard a card so your life points are cut in half! Dark Blunder!"

Masquerade fired a pink wave at Celina. Frowning she discarded her card as the wave hit her. (Celina: 0350/Hand: 0)

"That's only once per turn, and I have one last surprise for you Yudo." Celina smirked. "I activate Lunalight Sabre Dancer's ability from my graveyard!"

"Huh?" Yudo asked hearing that.

"By banishing her, Lunalight Leo Dancer gains 3000 attack points until the end of the turn." Celina revealed as a silhouette of Sabre Dancer appeared around Leo Dancer.

Lunalight Leo Dancer: (ATK: 4500 + 3000 = 7500)

"Attack Umbral Horror Masquerade and end this duel!"

Leo Dancer charged striking down Umbral Horror as Yudo grunted as he looked at the particles of his ace, 'Sorry Masquerade...' (Yudo: 1500/Hand: 1)

"Hold on a second, Masquerade was in attack mode so why didn't Yudo take any damage?" Melissa questioned.

Yudo only smiled, "Well since Masquerade was a Number when equipped with Crystal Wand, I take zero battle damage when he's attacked."

Celina frowned at that. "Maybe, but now you don't have any cards in play and my Leo Dancer can attack twice each turn."

As she said that she grabbed an Action Card. Yudo only said, "Except I have Crystal Mask's last effect Celina."

Her eyes widened at that. "Don't tell me..."

Masquerade burst out of the graveyard.

Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade: (Attack Position)

"Since you destroyed him in battle, I can summon him again from Crystal Mask's effect, and with his rank 5 you lose 1000 points." Yudo smiled.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
