Yuki's POV

Our stage was a roughly put together wooden bridge suspended over a pit. With nothing left to say we started our duel.

Roman got turn one and all he did was set a card.

"Our turn." We drew "First Cards of Consonance to discard a Dragon Type Tuner with less than 1000 attack to draw two cards."

"I then summon Dragunity Dux from my hand and use it's ability to equip the Dragunity Phalanx in my graveyard to it, after which I activate Phalanx effect to unequip and summon it which allows me to tune it to Dux and Synchro Summon Dragunity Knight Vajrayana!"

Dragunity Knight Vajrayana: LVL 6 ATK 1900 DEF 1200

"Vajrayana is allowed to equip a Dragon type level three or lower Dragunity from the grave, so he equips Phalanx, and then I attack you directly!" I yelled.

Roman 4000 to 2100

"I activate the trap card Wolf in Sheep's Clothing!" Roman yelled "I reveal a level one monster in my hand and special summon it, along with a monster of the same name from my deck! Dark Spider!"

Dark Spider: LVL 1 ATK 0 DEF 0.

"I set a card and end the turn." I blinked.

He didn't waste any time I had hoped to delay him longer than just my first turn to make sure but, this'll do...

Roman started laughing as soon as his turn began.

"I activate the field magic Spider Web from my hand." Roman played his first card.

"It's coming." Cleopatra hummed.

The pit under us was covered with string, a massive web forming in the room like a cocoon.

"You cannot escape this web." He laughed "I release both my Dark Spiders to summon…"

Earthbound Immortal Uru: LVL 10 ATK 3000 DEF 3000

The black beating stone heart appeared in the air, sucking in the dark mist from outside, transforming into the massive spider that suspended itself on the web.

"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high; Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly." I hummed "There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin, And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"

"You are aware that poem ends with the fly's death right." Roman smirked "Attack her directly."

"Oh I'm sorry you didn't realize?" I asked "I'm the spider in this story Roman, so far you've done everything I wanted you to do! I activate the trap Impenetrable Attack it has two effects I can choose from and I choose that I take no damage this battle phase!"

"Tsk." Roman hissed "I set two cards and play Destiny Activator! By sending a card on the top of my deck to the graveyard from here on when you draw the same type of card it will halve your life points."

"Shit." I hissed when he drew an effect monsters "That's nearly every monster in this deck."

"Let me take over for a turn." Cleo told me.

"Right." I slipped back.

"Are you afraid to draw." Roman laughed "Everything hinges on it."

"I have no fear because." Cleopatra placed her hand on her deck "We will not lose to someone like you, fear is but an illusion!"

"YUKI!"

We looked back and saw Leo and Luna were there, with Trudge, Yusei and some guy with orange hair I didn't really know.

"Luna." I took back over and sighed "You did it, I knew you could."

"Thank you, for believing in me!" she threw me the pink ring "So now…I'll believe in you too!"

"Right." I slid the ring back on "CLEO!"

"Yes!" she took over "We'll end this now!"

She took a breath "A truly powerful duelist can shape the outcome of a duel. They can even generate the very card that they need to draw! We'll believe in our deck at all costs, and never give up!"

She ripped a card off the top of the deck "Perfect."

"What?" Roman glared.

"I start with the card we just drew." Cleo turned it around "The Spell Heavy Storm which destroys all spells and traps on the field, including your Spider Web!"

"If at the end phase of a turn there is no Field Spell present on the field an Earthbound Immortal monster cannot is destroyed." She smirked "We play a facedown…and end the turn."

"Well now Roman?" I smirked as the web snapped and his spider fell into the pit under him, I held up my hand, all five rings glowing "My Gods haven't forsaken me, can you say the same of yours?"

Now he was seething "You…raaah! You think my God has abandoned me, no I'll just bring him back Monster Rebo-!"

"Magic Jammer." I flipped my trap "You're out of options Roman."

He realized that he had no moves left, no cards to play, his plan had crumbled and I hadn't even lost a life point.

"I realized something the other night, it's fine to be afraid of scary things, that's normal." I said "But I can't hide from the fear, so I might as well run right at it and blow it away!"

I pointed at him and smirked "Shall I finish the poem for you?"

"Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little Fly, Hearing her wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by; With buzzing wings he hung aloft, then near and nearer drew, Thinking only of his brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue —Thinking only of his crested head — poor foolish thing! At last, Up jumped the cunning Spider, and fiercely held him fast.
she dragged him up her winding stair, into her dismal den, Within her little parlour — but he ne'er came out again!" I smiled "Dragunity Knight Vajrayana is equipped with the Spell Dragunity Divine Lance which increases by its level times 100 and leaves it unaffected by traps…now attack him directly!"

Roman 2100 to 0 LP

"YUKI!" Leo and Luna ran down and hugged me.

"Nice job you two!" I smiled "See, I knew we could win."

"That's not what you said yesterday." Cleo mumbled.

"S-Shut up!" I huffed.

"How did you do it so easily?" Luna asked "Defeating an Earthbound Immortal."

"I made it look easier than it was." I said "I had the fortunate events of having already fought the hummingbird at Arcadia and saw Yusei duel Roman before, so I knew his tricks and the tricks of the Earthbound Immortals. I realized that they always play a field spell before summoning one so I knew I needed to destroy it, so I…stacked the deck in my favor with cards that could destroy a magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon, Dust Tornado, Grand Trunade, Heavy Storm, stuff like that. Simple yet effective, half the battle is knowing the opponent's move before they make it."

"Hahaha!" Roman suddenly started laughing "You think this is over? A new God, the mightiest of them all has been unleashed! If you don't stop all four towers by sunset the God of the Netherworld will rise again!"

He started turning to dust but threw off his duel disk and grabbed a ripcord on his metal hand "None of you will leave this place alive!"

"Get back!" I pushed Leo and Luna as the cables on the bridge gave way.

Shit I'm gonna fall!

"RAH!" Yusei suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Nice catch!" I sighed pulling myself up.
