The spirit monster screeched with a powerful roar before its arrow obliterated Yusaku's Cyberse monster. (Yusaku:3800)

"I end my turn." The Cyclone Duelist's monster turned into a beam of red light which soared into the air falling down as a card. The duelist grabbed the card and his continuous spell started to glow on his field. "When a Spirit monster returns to my hand, Shinobird Power Spot allows me to search for a ritual monster."

The Cyclone Duelist looked through the bottom of his deck, skimming through fifteen cards until he picked out a man wearing a blue feathery robe with a fan.

"I end my turn."

Yusaku drew a card bringing his hand to three cards with one monster in his graveyard and one facedown card useless when his opponent only had a continuous spell card. Yusaku didn't know what he was thinking though leaving himself wide open.

"I activate Monster Reincarnation. By discarding one card I can add one monster from my graveyard back to my hand." One card faded into blue data while another card reappeared the same way to replace the discarded card. "I summon Cyberse Wizard."

The cyclone duelist was experiencing Déjà vu seeing the same blue jaded hologram and Cyberse Wizard making his appearance. However, the moment he summoned that monster another card was summoned.

"Since I control a Cyberse monster I special summon Backup Secretary from my hand (ATK 1200/DEF 800)."

A very stylish looking woman appeared in the Monster Zone beside Cyberse Wizard. She had black tinted goggles over her eyes with a green outline, a uniform with a cape behind it, and her hair was violet with two tufts sticking out; the left side shorter than the right.

"I now link my two monsters together for a link-two monster. I link summon Splash Mage (ATK 1000/Link-2)."

A blue pentagon with hexagonal sides appeared in front of Yusaku but the other duelist could see it just as clearly from where he stood. In that pentagon was a square around it with eight arrows sticking diagonally, vertically, and left and right. Both monsters were turned into blue arrows striking an arrow on the top right and top bottom of the hexagon.

A new monster appeared in mesmerizing blue light. He was cladded in white cloak, had a blue orb on his cowl, a violet purple cape, pointed white had with a purple giant pin over it, and on the midriff of his front robe was a blue prism over what looked like a chasm etched on it. He also carried an ivory wand with an oval blue jewel.

"When Splash Mage is Link Summoned I can target a Cyberse in my graveyard and special summon it in Defense Mode. Come back, Cyberse Wizard."

Yusaku had not one two but two wizards standing side by side like a dynamic duo in a superhero comic(s), only not many comics have wizards as heroes.

"And with my link 2 Splash Mage and link 1 Cyberse Wizard...I link summon a Link 3 monster-Transcode Talker (ATK 2300/Link-3)!"

Both wizards were turned into orange arrows striking a newly created pentagon: Upper Center, middle right, bottom center. From that pengaton emerged a monster antithetical from Splash Mage. It was more made of blocks than actual flesh besides its glowing red eyes and thus looked bulky. It's forearms and forehead were orange while the rest of its body had interconnected white blocks and porcelain white knees. Unlike Splash Mage it also had an arsenal...of the big black cannon kind.

"With Transcode Talker I can bring back a Link-3 or lower Cyberse Link monster from my graveyard once per turn. I activate Transcode Talker's effect to summon back Splash Mage."

An orange portal with a smaller more plastic hole completely yellow appeared. From the portal Splash Mage appeared crossing his arms so his wand slung over his right shoulder.

"Now I'll link my Link-3 Transcode Talker and link one with my Link-2 Splash Mage to summon Firewall Dragon (ATK 2500/Link-4)!"

Both monsters were put in the speed zone as a new monster's voice could be heard howling inside. What was once two monsters merged to make a powerful crimson-eyed dragon with a yellow ball of electromagnetic power inside its mouth.

"Your monster is strong but it's how you chose to use it that's weak." The cyclone duelist said mirthlessly. He was concealing his blithe excitement on the monster. "Try standing on wooden trestles. It helps make you feel how high your strategies need to be."

"Firewall Dragon, attack him directly!"

Firewall Dragon's blue body changed into a furious red color before it accumulated energy to fire a yellow sphere right at the cyclone duelist. He took it head on.

(Cyclone Duelist:1500)

"You have shown me nothing in this duel and next turn I will end it." Yusaku said mirthless as well.

The cyclone duelist drew a card for his Draw Phase. It was a lucky card that could help when the duelist put his monster back in his hand.

"I activate Shinobu Calling. This card allows me to tribute monsters from my hand whose total levels equal eight or higher, not like I need to enunciate it in great detail when I'm just sending two monsters to the graveyard to summon Shinobird Baron (ATK 3000/ DEF 2500)."

The duelist tribute crow and Shinobird that looked like a humanoid peacock. What appeared standing on wooden trestles while holding feathers in their hands. The feathers glimmered in pink light before engulfing the birds in the magnitude they increase.

In the crevice of the feathers a tall monster mistaken by a man to those who didn't see him in a Speed Duel was a tall man wearing a silk feathery kimono carrying a peacock feather fan with a long strand of hair sticking out of his short brown hair. His eyes were brown as well and his skin was glossy.

"When Shinobird Baron is ritual summoned I can return up to three monsters on your field to your hand. I choose Firewall Dragon."

"I activate Firewall Dragon's quick effect. Once only while this monster is on the field I can return monsters to your hand up to the number of link pointers on monsters on the field. I choose Shinobird Baron."

It was a stalemate on monsters sending the other to the hand so they both went back; Shinobird Baron went back to the cyclone duelists' hand while Firewall Dragon returned to Yusaku's extra deck.

" I summon Shinobird Crow (0/0)."

The cyclone duelist summoned a black head but with army green feathered birdman on his field. At first the monster had no attack points to hurt Yusaku with, but thanks to his continuous spell card the attack points went up on his monster. (500).

"Shinobird Crow, attack my opponent directly. Whirlwind Zero Attack!"

The name sounded ridiculous. What wasn't ridiculous was a humanoid raven sputtering wind to life with just a kick. The wind felt like beetles biting into Yusaku's skin when it covered his body. (Yusaku:3300)

"I set one card facedown and end my turn. During my end phase Shinobird Crow returns to my hand and Shinobird Power Spot allows me to add a ritual monster or ritual spell card from my deck to my hand. I pick Shinobird Calling."

There was no chain in the things he said would happen as most effects happening on the same turn would be. His monster just returned to his hand and a card the technology in his Duel Disk identified as "Shinobird Calling" came out for the duelist to have in his hand.

Yusaku drew one card from his deck. He drew Launcher Commander. His monster might have been what he needed to end this duel.

"I summon Launcher Commander (ATK 1700/DEF 1200)."

Yusaku's monster was a monster tank with wheels of a tank in corrugated steel frame underneath moving wheels with a rectangular green body frame and a head of two LED eyes on Yusaku's opponent. Yusaku was in a lucid state of mind. He feared the facedown might be a trap but he just wanted to end this duel. He didn't like playing Duel Monsters unless it was for a cause bigger than himself.

"Launcher Commander, attack him directly!"

The Commander used its hands to get off the ground while opening a hatch below it to reveal a ball of explosions unexplained of what was inside. All the duelist knew was one direct hit and the duel was over.

"I activate Shinobird Salvation."

A trap card stood up on the cyclone duelists' field. It showed Shinobird Baron and another Shinobird monster, a woman yet to be summoned, trapped in a blue voidless room and yet having hope they would escape.

"By banishing a Spirit monster from my graveyard, I can stop your attack and end the Battle Phase."

Light seeped out of the duelists graveyard. The next thing that happened was a black raven that was really a spirit the same as the Shinobird monsters flew out of the disk and onwards it flew towards the attacking monster. It cawed at the monster, and the caw of it made a sound barrier the explosion hit instead of the cyclone duelist.

Yusaku wondered what was he missing to stop a simple trick like that. He had no choice now but to end his turn.

"I end my turn."

The cyclone duelist drew a card from his deck.

"I summon Shinobird Crow again in Attack Mode (0/0)."

Once again Yusaku was faced with the same humanoid bird of black and green with no attack points until it was embodied with the effect of the continous spell card and its attack rose to five hundred.

"Shinobird Crow, attack his Launcher Commander." The bird scampered towards Launcher Commander like a dog racing towards an intruder. "I activate my monsters effect: By discarding a Spirit monster its attack becomes the same as that Spirit monsters. I discard Shinobird Baron."

The visage of Shinobird Baron appeared for Yusaku to fear. For the cyclone duelist, it meant good luck and was the opposite luck for Yusaku. His monsters attack rose to thirty-five thousand. Yusaku's monster was destroyed delivering a blow of 1800 Life Points to him. (Yusaku:1500)

" I end my turn. This is the last time I shall explain what happens when a Spirit monster returns to my hand; I gain a ritual spell or a ritual monster. I choose to add Shinobird Baron, another copy not the one I discarded, to my hand."

The cyclone duelists duel disk ejected a card facedown. For Yusaku it would only be a hidden card because he was going to end this duel on his turn.

"I end my turn."

Yusaku drew a card. It was a card in this kind of duel was allowed to be used. For a boy who didn't like dueling so much his deck sure got lucky with the cards he drew.

"I activate Pot of Green. I can draw two cards from the top of my deck." Yusaku drew two cars from his deck. The first card was just a support card for his monsters, but the next card was a game finisher. "Since I control no monsters I special summon Linkslayer in Attack Mode (ATK 2000/DEF 600)."

A light conquering warrior with gold light armor and bowl cut blond hair appeared on Yusaku's field. It was the luckiest draw he could make.

"You notice I am giving you a look." The duelist said. His look was a gesture of sincere thanks when Yusaku summoned his monster. "My trap has helped me in many duels against the bad and the deplorable. Now it has failed me against you, the hero Den City needs."

"By discarding two cards I can destroy two spell or trap cards on your field. I choose your continous spell card and continous trap." Yusaku said in a rasp voice.

Despite how he was being a fair sport Yusaku didn't like the duelist. Now his field cards were slashed away by Linkslayer leaving him defenseless.

"Linkslayer, attack him directly!"

The boy let out a chuckle before the monster moved through the Speed Zone and slashed a giant S in blue light.
