bopdog111: Been quite a while but now time for Atem to duel Akira.
Ulrich362: True, unfortunately for Akira Atem isn't a Link specialist but he should still be able to put up a fight.
bopdog111: Anti-Link isn't the only thing the Tindangles have.
Ulrich362: True, but it is one of the deck's strongest points. Only one way to find out though, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Ashley, and the others walked over to LID. Soon they arrived where they see Atem, and Akira opposite to each other on a field. Looking over Atem smiled to them, "We wouldn't start without you guys."
"Well don't let us keep you." Ashley smiled.
They looked over before Atem asked Akira, "Before we start Akira." Akira listened before he asked, "I dueled for fun, and I'm glad you want to duel me but why exactly? You must know how strong I am."
"I want to see if I'm good enough to keep up with you. And make sure my sister is in the right hands."
Atem only smiled, "Well you don't need a match against your sister's crush's father for that. But I still wouldn't refuse a duel. You ready to begin?"
"I am." Akira nodded. "Do you mind if I take the first turn?"
"Not at all." was his response.
"LET'S DUEL!"

Let the duel commence!
"Hey Skye what kind of a duelist is your brother?" Stephanie asked Skye curiously.
"Just watch." Skye answered. "You'll understand pretty quickly."
Akira 1st Turn:
"I'll start with one monster in defense mode, and then I activate the spell cards Stairs of Mail and Nagel's Protection." Akira stated.
(face-up)
Stairs of Mail

"That ends my turn."

Atem 1st Turn:
"Two Continuous Spells, and a face-down..." Atem trailed off cupping his chin, "Alright can't think about it! Draw!" Atem drew looking before calling, "For the first move, I'll be summoning Red Resonator!"
At that one of the Resonators, Jack used rose up.

"And since I just summoned this card, I get to summon another monster from my hand. Provided it's level is 4 or below." Atem takes a second card dramatically raising it up, "So I'll summon the fiendish wonder between the sealers, Djinn Presider of Rituals!"
A fat green skilled warrior wearing a helmet with a sword, and shield popped up.

"Interesting, so you can Synchro Summon and the Djinn monsters can be used as Ritual Material from the graveyard." Akira noted calmly seeing that.
"You know well. Then here comes a monster that should be iconic." Atem smiled as Flare Resonator flew up turning to 2 rings while Presider passes through forming 4 stars.
(LV: 2 + 4 = 6)
"Mightiest Fiends are always gathered for challenges! And now this will be beckoned for it! Synchro Summon! Appear level 6, Archfiend's Call!"
Archfiend's Call rose up readying.

Archfiend's Call: (Name: Summoned Skull)
"There's dad's synchro." Cole grinned.
"True, and there's probably more to come." Rose agreed.
"Then here's the spell, Majinrai, the Magical Lightning!" Atem uses a spell.
Majinrai, the Magical Lightning
Normal Spell Card
If you control a face-up "Summoned Skull", or 1 face-up Level 6 or higher Fiend monster on the field: Send 1 Fiend monster from your hand to the GY; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the level of the discarded monster x 200.
"By sending Djinn Demolisher of Rituals from my hand, you lose 200 points equal to it's level which is 600!" Atem called as Archfiend's Call fired lightning at Akira.
Akira braced himself as he was struck by the lightning.
(Akira: 3400/Hand: 2)
"Then to keep this going, I use Performance in Fiendish Land!" Atem called using a spell where Archfiend Eccentrick, and Hallohallo are doing tricks in front of multiple fiends.
Performance in Fiendish Land

"By sending Archfiend's Awakening from my Deck to the graveyard, I get to call back a Fiend with a lower back from the graveyard!" Atem sent the Ritual before calling, "That means Red Resonators back in Defense Position!"
Red Resonator rose up again.
Red Resonator: (Defense Position)
"And since I summoned Special Summoned him, he gives me Life Points equal to Archfiend's Call's attack points!" Red Resonator gave energy to him making him glow. (Atem: 6500/Hand: 1)
Akira's eyes widened seeing that.
"Alright Archfiend's Call charge in at his face-down!" Atem called as Archfiend's Call firing lightning at Akira's face-down.
"Thanks to Nagel's Protection my Tindangle Trinity isn't destroyed, and in addition I can summon Tindangle Base Gardna from my deck since Trinity was flipped." Akira explained as his monster was flipped before a die having multiple eyes popped out.

"Dad did managed to deal damage at least." RJ said to them, "He not only dealt damage he also gained life points."
"1 set card is all." Atem answered.

Akira drew his card. "I activate Euler's Circuit."

ATK: 800
DEF: 1600

"That's unfortunately all I can do for now."
Akira's Hand: 0/Field: Tindangle Protector (Attack Position), Tindangle Base Gardna (Defense Position), Tindangle Trinity (Defense Position), Euler's Circuit (Field Zone), Stairs of Mail (face-up), Nagel's Protection (face-up), One Set Card
Atem 2nd Turn:
Atem drew just as he notices a seal on the ground he's on, "What's this?"
"The effect of Euler's Circuit." Skye answered.
"As I have three Tindangle monsters in play you're not allowed to attack." Akira explained.
"So that's why you summoned that monster." Atem said eyeing Protector in Attack Position, "Well that won't last cause, I use my face-down Sinister Yorishiro!"
(face-up)
Sinister Yorishiro
Continuous Trap Card
Each turn, 1 Level 5 or higher Fiend monster you Normal Summon can be Summoned without Tributing. If exactly 1 Normal Summoned/Set Level 5 or higher Fiend monster (and no other cards) would be destroyed, you can send this card to the GY instead.
"What does that do?" Akira asked.
"Noting much really. Allows me to summon any Level 5 or higher Fiend from my hand without Tributing a monster." Atem answered with a grin.
"Any level five or higher fiend?" Skye asked in shock hearing that.
"A useful card for dad's deck." Jade smiled.
"Which one is Annihilator Archfiend!" Atem called as a huge fiend popped up growling.
(Attack Position)
Annihilator Archfiend
DARK
Level 9
Fiend/Effect
ATK: 2000
DEF: 3000
You can target 1 card you control and 1 card your opponent controls; destroy them, and if you destroyed a face-up Fiend monster(s) by this effect, this card gains ATK equal to half the Fiend monster(s)'s original ATK, until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Annihilator Archfiend" once per turn.
Akira looked at the card before his eyes widened in shock.
"By destroying 1 card on my field, I can destroy a card on your's." Atem explained with a grin, "Alright Annihilator Archfiend destroy Red Resonator to destroy the field spell, Euler's Circuit!"
Annihilator Archfiend conjured a blast from Red Resonator firing it at the Field Spell. Akira braced himself as the cards shattered and the seal vanished.
"And since a Fiend was destroyed by this effect, Annihilator Archfiend gains half the attack points of Red Resonator."
Annihilator Archfiend: (ATK: 2000 + (600 / 2) = 2300)
"Not much but it's more then enough for a fantastic strike by the fiendish lord of destruction by Annihilator Archfiend so watch as he performs his trick by attacking Tindangle Protector!"
Annihilator Archfiend charged a dark destruction orb firing it at Tindangle Protector.
"Nagel's Protection prevents my monster from being destroyed in battle!" Akira pointed out.
"Maybe but damage is still happening!" Atem reminds as the orb pierced through Protector at Akira.
Akira braced himself as he was hit.
(Akira: 1900/Hand: 0)
"Alright Archfiend's Call your turn!" The Synchro Summoned Skull charged lightning firing it at Protector piercing through it at Akira.
Akira winced as he was hit.
(Akira: 0200/Hand: 0)
"Yeah Dad's a kind person but when he duels he's like a beast." Andy admitted chuckling a little.
"Maybe, but you shouldn't underestimate Akira either." Skye mentioned only to smile as she walked over to gently take Sammy's hand.
Sammy blushed but smiled.
"Alright Akira, your move now." Atem grinned to Akira, "So what can you do to show this crowd how to steal the show from the fiendish performers?"
Atem's Hand: 0/Field: Archfiend's Call (Attack Position), Annihilator Archfiend (Attack Position), Sinister Yorishiro (face-up)
Atem: 6500

Akira 3rd Turn:
Akira drew his card and smiled. "I sacrifice Tindangle Protector in order to summon Tindangle Dholes in attack mode."
(Attack Position)
Tindangle Dholes
DARK
Level 5
Fiend/Effect
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000
FLIP: You can send 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to the GY.
If this card is sent from the hand or Deck to the GY: You can target 1 "Tindangle" monster in your GY, except "Tindangle Dholes"; Special Summon it in face-down Defense Position. You can only use each of the preceding effects of "Tindangle Dholes" once per turn. A "Tindangle" Link Monster that used this card as material can make 3 attacks during each Battle Phase.
"Now I call my Circuit! The summoning conditions are three Tindangle monsters, I place Trinity, Base Gardna, and Dholes in the Link Markers! Circuit Combine! I Link Summon, Link 3 Tindangle Acute Cerberus!"
A gate appeared before opening shooting out flames before fading revealing a three headed hound like fiendish monster roaring.
(Extra Monster Zone)

Tindangle Acute Cerberus

At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card declared an attack: You can Special Summon 1 "Tindangle Token" (Fiend/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0).
Atem blinked seeing it surprised.
"I don't it. If he needs 3 Tindangles that aren't level 5 or higher why making that Tribute Summon? And why summoning a monster with no points?" Micheal asked confused.
"If I have three or more Tindangle monsters in my graveyard including Tindangle Base Gardna my Tindangle Acute Cerberus gains 3000 attack points." Akira explained.
Tindangle Acute Cerberus: (ATK: 0 + 3000 = 3000)
"In addition, a Tindangle Link Monster summoned using Tindangle Dholes can attack three times every turn and thanks to the secondary effect of my Nagel's Protection once per turn when a Tindangle monster inflicts battle damage that damage is doubled."
"Three attacks with one being doubled the damage?" Atem asked surprised. It gets around Atem gaining Life Points.
"Exactly, so first I'll attack your Annihilator Archfiend and double the damage to 2000 points." Akira declared.
The three heads opened revealing eyes shooting flames charging it striking Annihilator Archfiend destroying it while Atem braced himself. (Atem: 4500/Hand: 0)
"Now the second attack on Archfiend's Call!" Akira continued.
The second attack charge in destroying Archfiend's Call. But Atem grinned, "Big mistake."
"What?" Akira inquired.
(Atem: 4000/Hand: 0)
"Since you destroyed Archfiend's Call, I get to summon a special card." Atem grinned to him, "The main attraction to be more exact!"
Atem's family all smiled hearing that. He takes a card out before calling, "Alright come on out, Skull Archfiend of Hope!"
A light later his ace rose readying in Defense.
(Defense Position)
Skull Archfiend of Hope
DARK
Level 6
Pendulum Scale: 1
Fiend/Effect/Pendulum

DEF: 1200

Once per turn: This card gains 400 ATK for every "Archfiend" monster on the field. If this Pendulum Summoned card from the hand is destroyed by battle or by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Summoned Skull" from your Deck, GY, or Hand.
Acute Cerberus shot it's attack destroying Skull Archfiend of Hope.
"Dad's defenseless." Cole whispered in shock.
"No, he isn't Cole." Rose reassured him.
"Why's that?" Skye asked confused.
"Skull Archfiend of Hope's ability." Riley answered.
"Your new monster has a special ability?" Akira inquired.
"Yeah, but I can only use it if he's Pendulum Summoned from the hand." Atem confirmed.
"I see, well at the end of the battle phase since my Tindangle Acute Cerberus battled I can summon a Tindangle Token." Akira explained as a monster popped up.
(Defense Position)
Tindangle Token
DARK
Level 1
Fiend/Normal/Token

"I end my turn with the trap Gergonne's End and I equip it to Tindangle Acute Cerberus."
(Equipped to Tindangle Acute Cerberus)
Gergonne's End
Continuous Trap Card
Target 1 "Tindangle" Link Monster you control; equip this card to it. It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also your opponent cannot target it with card effects. Once per turn, if there are monsters in all zones the equipped monster points to: If there are still monsters in all zones the equipped monster points to, you can destroy this card and all of those monsters, then, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the equipped monster's ATK before they were destroyed.
Tindangle Acute Cerberus: (Equipped with Gergonne's End)
Akira's Hand: 0/Field: Tindangle Acute Cerberus (Extra Monster Zone/Linked to Tindangle Token/Attack Position/ATK: 3500/Equipped with Gergonne's End/Gains effect from Tindangle Dholes), Tindangle Token (Defense Position/Linked to Tindangle Acute Cerberus), Stairs of Mail (face-up), Euler's Circuit (face-up), Gergonne's End (Equipped to Tindangle Acute Cerberus)
Atem 3rd Turn:
"Okay draw!" Atem drew looking before calling, "Alright, I activate the spell, Fiendish Surprise Spectacular!"
Fiendish Surprise Spectacular
Normal Spell Card
Pay 1000 LP. Draw 2 cards, then if one of those cards is a Spell card, you can discard that card; add 1 monster from your GY to your hand, then if the added card was a Fiend monster, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls; it's current ATK is halved.
"So now by paying 1000 points, I draw 2 cards, and if one of them is a spell, I can send it to the graveyard to add a Monster from the graveyard to the hand!" Atem explained. (Atem: 3000/Hand: 0)
Akira nodded hearing that.
Atem drew looking before revealing a Pot of Greed before discarding it adding a card to his hand, "Since I added a Fiend, Acute Cerberus loses half of it's attack points."
"Does that effect target?" Akira inquired. "The monster equipped with Gergonne's End can't be targeted."
"Uh yeah." Atem answered.
"Then my Tindangle Acute Cerberus keeps all of his attack points." Akira revealed calmly.
"Well it won't be a problem, cause I use Fiendish Ritual!"
Fiendish Ritual
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any Fiend Ritual Monster from your hand or GY. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand, field and/or banishing monsters from your GY, whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If that Ritual Monster attacks an opponent's monster, that monster gains 1000 ATK.
"So now I can Ritual Summon a Fiend from my hand or graveyard!" Atem said revealing the card he added was Archfiend's Awakening.
Akira nodded seeing that.
"When the Fiendish Performers give their lives for the stage of the crowd, it will leave a cliffhanger for the final act to come! Ritual Summon! Level 6, Archfiend's Awakening!"
What rose was a blue powerful version of Summoned Skull readying.
(Attack Position)
(Gains effect from Fiendish Ritual, Djinn Demolisher of Rituals)
Archfiend's Awakening
DARK
Level 6
Fiend/Effect/Ritual
ATK: 2500
DEF: 1200
You can Ritual Summon this card with "Contract with the Abyss". This card's name becomes "Summoned Skull" on the field, but is still treated as an "Archfiend" card. Cannot be destroyed by battle, except by battle with a Ritual Monster, and cannot be destroyed by monster effects, except those of Ritual Monsters. If this Ritual Summoned card you control is sent to your GY by an opponent's card: You can Special Summon 1 "Summoned Skull" from your hand, Deck, or GY.
"Your monster only has 2500 attack points." Akira pointed out.
"When he attacks from Fiendish Ritual he gets 1000 more points." Atem told him.
"So our monsters will have the same attack points, but thanks to Gergonne's End Tindangle Acute Cerberus can't be destroyed." Akira told him.
"Archfiend's Awakening can't be destroyed either since Acute Cerberus isn't a Ritual Monster." Atem told him.
"So there's no reason to attack." Akira frowned. "Why summon it then?"
"My attempts to weaken it don't work but I got defense at least." Atem admitted shrugging.
Atem's Hand: 0/Field: Archfiend's Awakening (Attack Position/Gains effect from Fiendish Ritual, Djinn Demolisher of Rituals) Sinister Yorichiro (face-up)

Akira 4th Turn:
Akira drew his card. "I drew a second Tindangle Dholes but by discarding it and banishing Euler's Circuit from my graveyard I can add a second copy of Euler's Circuit to my hand. Then, since I sent Tindangle Dholes to the graveyard I can summon Tindangle Trinity from my graveyard in facedown defense position. I'll then activate Euler's Circuit again and end my turn."
Tindangle Trinity: (Set)
Euler's Circuit: (Field Zone)
"Their both stuck aren't they?" Cole asked seeing this while holding Violet.
"No, if Atem doesn't win this turn the duel's over." Skye answered.
Akira's Hand: 0/Field: Euler's Ciruit (Field Zone), Tindangle Acute Cerberus (Extra Monster Zone/Linked to Tindangle Token/Attack Position/ATK: 3500/Equipped with Gergonne's End/Gains effect from Tindangle Dholes), Tindangle Token (Defense Position/Linked to Tindangle Acute Cerberus), Stairs of Mail (face-up), Gergonne's End (Equipped to Tindangle Acute Cerberus), Tindangle Trinity (Set), Stairs of Mail (face-up), Nagel's Protection (face-up)
Atem 4th Turn:
Atem looked at his drawn card.
"Atem, Euler's Circuit and Gergonne's End have two more effects you should know about." Akira told him. "First, during my Standby Phase I can give control of a Tindangle Monster to you, and if Tindangle Acute Cerberus points to three monsters, I can destroy them all and send Gergonne's End to my graveyard to deal damage equal to Acute Cerberus's current attack points. In other words, on my next turn I can give you my token, flip Tindangle Trinity into attack mode and once Acute Cerberus battles I can summon a second token and inflict 4500 points of damage."
"Well Euler's Circuit won't use it's effect for that." Atem told him.
"Oh, and how do you intend on stoping me from using that effect?" Akira asked calmly.
Atem pointed which they looked seeing... Archfiend's Awakening is at the arrow Acute Cerberus is pointing to his field.
"Even if that's true, I don't need three Tindangle monsters. I just need Acute Cerberus to point to three monsters. All Archfiend's Awakening being there does is reduce the damage by 500 points." Akira told him.
"So go ahead, and do it, if you think it can go well." Atem told him.
"It's your turn." Akira pointed out.
Atem looked before calling, "Alright, I use Ritual Weapon!"
(Equipped to Archfiend's Awakening)
Ritual Weapon
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a Level 6 or lower Ritual Monster. It gains 1500 ATK/DEF.
Archfiend's Awakening: (Equipped with Ritual Weapon/ATK: 2500 + 1500 = 4000/DEF: 1200 + 1500 = 2700)
Akira's eyes widened before he nodded calmly. "You're as skilled as Declan said. And this was you taking it easy on me."
"Actually believe it or not this is only medium." Atem admitted.
Akira smiled. "I see, well… finish our match."
Atem nodded silently ordering Awakening to attack Acute Cerberus which it did charging in. Acute Cerberus withstood the attack as the damage wiped out the last of Akira's life points.

Atem wins!
Atem walked over with a smile, "At this era, a few people made me give it more then easy. But Akira, your a strong duelist, you actually got me to try seriously just a little, and that's saying much."
"I appreciate the compliment." Akira smiled before turning. "Was that adequate Declan?"
Declan nodded, "Indeed. We will enjoy your company."
"What should we do now?" Timmy asked.
"First taking her to the doctor to see if it worked." Atem smiled to Riley taking her hand kissing her.
"Another one?" Declan inquired. "Do you need a larger house?"
"We're fine. We're planning to modify our house later actually." Atem answered to his brother in law.
Declan nodded with a smile. "Well it was nice to see you."
"You two Declan." Atem smiled to him as they walked off before waving to Akira.
Later at the hospital...
Everyone was waiting at the lobby before Atem, and Riley walked in the lobby.
"Is mom having another baby?" Samantha asked.
They smiled before Atem nodded, "Yup."
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Micheal asked.
"Too early to tell now." Atem answered patting Riley's belly, "But we will find out soon."
His kids all nodded at that before Atem's phone started to ring. Hearing that Atem curiously answered, "Hello?"
"Atem, it's Souji."
"Souji! It's been a while, how are you, Naoto, and Yuzu been?" Atem asked with a smile.
"We're doing well." Souji smiled.
"Is there anything you guys need?" Atem asked him.
"Actually, Naoto had an idea... would you guys like to see it? The TV World?" Souji asked her.
"The TV World? Is that even safe for us to go in?" Atem asked hearing that.
"It's safe." Souji reassured him. "Ever since we solved the case it's actually a beautiful place."
"Well... okay we could use a day of relaxing." Atem smiled hearing that.
"So... does a family picnic sound like a plan?" Souji asked with a smile.
"You three will join us right?" Atem asked with a smile, "Maybe bring Adachi there too since Auntie Ashley will be with him to help him out?"
"If he'll be willing to join us." Souji answered. "Well, we should figure out the details later. Talk soon Atem."
"See ya." Atem hanged up before smiling, "That was Souji just now. He's inviting us for a picnic at the TV World."
"Really, that sounds fun." RJ smiled. "Can I invite Jamie?"
"Of course, just make sure he doesn't wander away. Souji said it's peaceful now but we shouldn't let our guard down." Atem gave his permission.
She smiled at that.
"So, time to head home?" Rose asked.
They all nodded heading back home at this. When they reached Riley felt her feet being swept up finding herself in Atem's arms bridal style.
"Atem." she blushed with a smile before wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I love you all." he said to everyone.
"We love you too dad." Andy smiled as Rose and the girls all undressed before kissing his cheeks.
Atem smiled at this looking at the girls at this before saying, "I don't know what I do without you all."
"You'll never have to find out." Stephanie smiled.
Suddenly Violet started to cry. Cole looked surprised before walking over, "I think she wants you too Dad."
Atem hearing that takes Violet in his arms when Riley got off. The moment he held her Violet stopped crying and looked happy before putting her head against him as she opened her eyes wide. Atem chuckled at that, "Boy Vi, you really are something aren't ya?"
She looked up at him before moving closer to him.
"Daddy's girl, complete daddy's girl." Timmy giggled.
"Oh definitely. Steph was a close second." Micheal giggled with him.
Said girl blushed. "Can you blame me, I mean dad's awesome."
"I agree with her." her twin brother agreed, "He endured hardship from his parents, became a top master duelist, came back after forming into a demon lord, and is now doing everything he can for us. Who wouldn't think he's cool?"
"You heard your kids Atem, you're amazing." Rose smiled.
"Come on I'm not really-" There was that modest side of him.
Riley just smiled kissing him. "You're amazing Atem, and we won't have any arguments understood?"
He chuckled a bit, "Well when you put it like that..."
