Ulrich362: So... a Link Tournament starting soon?
bopdog111: Looks like it.
Ulrich362: Well it's certainly going to be interesting.
bodog111: Indeed.
Ulrich362: Of course Ryoken needs to give Leo Akaba and Declan the idea first and they need competitors.
bopdog111: Yeah it can't go on without their authorization.
Ulrich362: Well lets see if they give it. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS but we own the OCs!
It was close to an hour after Ace fainted when he slowly started waking up. "Big sis Dawn?"
Dawn looked over, "You okay?"
"What happened?" Ace asked rubbing his head. "I remember showing Mr. Ryoken my card and then... I don't remember."
"You fainted when he mentioned an idea of a tournament to show off Link Summoning more." Dawn answered.
Ace blushed heavily. "Big sis... can you say you made it?"
"I would love too but I think many people already know who made it, and would spread the news." Dawn told him.
Ace turned bright red. "I can't take this anymore."
"Come on Ace you can take it." Dawn smiled, "Your a strong, and a brave little boy."
"No, I hate Link. I wish I never made it." Ace pouted.
Dawn patted his head, "Come on Ace you don't mean that."
"Yes I do." Ace argued. "I wanted to make something special for our family and friends... well, our family but now everybody uses it and it isn't special anymore."
"It's still special for everyone." Dawn smiled.
"No it isn't." Ace pouted. "If everybody uses it it isn't special. When uncle Yuya made Pendulum not everybody could do it and there are still a lot of people who can't."
"Not a lot of people are using Link either." Dawn said.
"Everybody does." Ace frowned. "I just wanted to make special cards for you and mommy and daddy, I didn't even want one."
"It's okay Ace." Dawn smiled.
"No it isn't." Ace said before hugging her as he started tearing up. "I just wanted to do something for you and mommy and daddy but now..."
He started to cry saying that as Zarc and Ray walked into the kitchen.
"Ace? What's wrong?" Zarc asked worried.
Dawn answered, "He's just throwing a fit that everyone is using Link."
Ray frowned before walking over and hugging him.
Meanwhile at the Leo Corporation...
Ryoken reached an office before knocking on it.
"Come in." Declan's voice said.
Ryoken entered the room seeing him, Henrietta, Leo Akaba, Riley, and Casey were in.
As he walked in Riley was blushing slightly.
"Declan, Mr. Akaba there is something I happen to discuss." Ryoken said as he nodded his greetings to Henrietta, Riley, and Casey.
The three of them nodded before Riley and Casey walked out of the room together.
"What is it?" Leo Akaba inquired calmly.
"I happen to came up with an idea to spread Link faster." Ryoken answered.
"Oh?" Declan asked curiously.
"A tournament to where Link Summoning, and it's rules can be used." Ryoken answered. "The contestants can use the other methods as well but it's a Master Duel, Master/Action Duel, and Speed Duel only tournament."
"That sounds like an incredible idea." Leo Akaba smiled.
"Agreed." Declan nodded. "I take it you'll be participating?"
"Indeed. And the grand prize is either three choices otherside from becoming champion." Ryoken continued. "A duel with Zarc himself, or earning tons of money, or you can have a Deck which the creator of Link Summoning himself will personally give you that he creates."
Suddenly a man in a suit with blue and teal hair walked in alongside a woman with pink and lavender hair.
"Mr. Akaba, this woman has requested to see you." the man stated.
"Hm?" They looked to see her.
"What's this I hear about a tournament?" the woman asked curiously.
"It is an idea that Mr. Ryoken Kogami here have suggested to spread the word of my nephew's new summoning method Link faster." Declan answered.
"Interesting, my name's Emma Bessho and I might consider competing myself. Though if you don't mind me asking, what would the Arc Area Project be?" Emma inquired.
"Arc Area Project?" Ryoken asked curious.
"I think Mr. Akaba would be willing to share that little bit of information with us." Emma mentioned. "Well?"
"How did you know?" Declan asked suspicious.
"I may have picked up that bit of information, just a name but what exactly is this project?" Emma inquired.
Ryoken payed attention as well.
"Akira Zaizen give us some privacy." Declan told the man in the suit.
He simply nodded before walking out of the room. Declan told Emma, "It was a project that my father had as a goal. Back then these five dimensions were originally one."
"Dimensions, what are you talking about?" Ryoken questioned.
Declan, and Leo both explained the full story to them both.
Ryoken looked shocked. "That's... you know that sounds insane."
"Insane, but hearing it straight from them means it has to be true. Especially since it matches the files on Mr. Akaba's computer perfectly." Emma stated. "I'll be taking my leave now."
"Hold on how did you managed to know it? It was kept under tight locks." Leo Akaba told her.
Emma just smiled before leaving the room.
Declan mentioned, "We'll have to worry about that later."
Leo Akaba and Ryoken nodded in agreement. Declan said, "Mr. Zaizen enter."
He walked in calmly.
"I want you to see if there were any breaches in the Security concerning about the 'Arc Area Project'." Declan informed. "If you find anything report them to me, and keep in tight lockdown."
"Understood." he replied calmly.
He walked out as Ryoken asked, "So Declan, Mr. Akaba. We should think of what the Grand Prize will be."
"I think we'll have to talk with Zarc and Ace about that." Declan answered.
Ryoken nodded at that.
Meanwhile...
"Mommy, can I go visit big sis Terri?" Ace asked.
"Okay honey." Ray smiled.
Ace smiled happily before walking out to go visit the Obsidians. Upon arriving he sees Terri, and Hart are outside paying tag.
"Tag!" Terri cried managing to get Hart.
"Hi big sis!" Ace smiled waving.
Hart, and Terri turned over.
"Ace!" Terri cried running over as she picked Ace up, and spun him around before hugging him.
Ace giggled happily while hugging her back. "I wanted to see you big sis."
"Thanks for coming Ace." Terri smiled as Hart smiled walking over.
"It's been forever since I was here." Ace giggled before frowning. "I think big sis Dawn is mad at me though."
"Hm?" Terri asked confused.
Ace shook his head. "I want to spend time with you big sis... and I gotta ask aunt Lulu something. No sad people."
Terri nodded at that. Ace smiled happily before turning to Hart. "Hi big brother, are you and big sis marrying yet?"
The two blushed at this.
"Uh... We're not old enough." Hart answered.
"Oh, but mommy said if you love somebody a whole lot you marry them, and you said you went on a whole big adventure to save him big sis so you must love him a lot." Ace mentioned. "You have to be old to be married?"
Hart blushed before stating, "Uh... I was a card for most of it."
Ace nodded. "I remember, big sis told me."
Suddenly he looked down.
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry? For what?" Terri asked him.
"Making you sad." Ace answered sadly.
"Oh Ace I'm not sad." Terri smiled kissing his cheek. "Thanks for worrying though."
Ace smiled hearing that only for his eyes to widen. "I forgot, I have a present for you big sis. Daddy helped me make the last one ever."
"A present?" Terri asked.
Ace nodded before reaching into a bag and taking out a drawing of Terri with a bunch of animals nearby.
"Aww Ace." Terri smiled with tears in her eyes hugging him. "Thank you so much."
Ace smiled hugging her even more before looking up.
"Big sis... how do I be a big brother?"
"Hm?" Terri asked looking at him.
"Aunt Rin and Uncle Yugo are having a baby, and I'm going to be a big brother so I want to do it right and not mess up." Ace explained. "Am I supposed to hold it, teach it how to play tag? What do I do?"
Terri smiled before telling him what he needs to know. Ace nodded and smiled as she did before giggling only to see people dueling in the distance and immediately frown. Terri, and Hart turned to see what he's looking at. A young girl was dueling an older boy and she was about to Link Summon.
"Huh. Looks like Link is starting here." Hart smiled before cupping his chin in thought, "And I wonder if there would be a Galaxy-Eyes Link."
"No!" Ace said angrily. "No, no, no!"
The two of them turned to him surprised. Ace was trying not to cry.
"Ace? What's wrong?" Terri asked startled, and alarmed.
He turned to her and tried to wipe his eyes. "I'm ok big sis, see?"
"Your not okay. Crying like that, and yelling out no is not a sign that your okay." Terri told him.
Ace looked down not saying anything. Hart realized he reacted when he said about Link, and asked "Ace... Is this about Link?"
Terri and Hart could see Ace trying and failing to keep from crying again the moment he said that. Terri hugged him at that as Hart felt guilty. Ace hugged her as he started crying.
"I only wanted three, so it would be special." he choked out.
"But Ace it wouldn't be fair to everyone else if only three Link Monsters are made, and the Master Duel, and Speed Duel rules would cripple them." Terri told him softly. "If you, Zarc, and Dawn are the only ones that could have Link Monsters it wouldn't be fair for everyone to have one. It's still special as it is."
"No, big sis Dawn, mommy, and daddy. I didn't want one." Ace argued before crying again. "I wanted to make something special but it isn't anymore."
"Hey it is special." Terri said hugging him. "You created a new, and great evolution in dueling."
Ace still looked upset. "If everybody can Link it isn't special, not everybody can use the other ones."
"Everything about dueling, and it's rules is special." Terri told him. "You just have to appreciate it's power to use them. And even if you make a Link that isn't the strongest it is still special if you use it the right way, and make it very strong."
Ace blinked and wiped away his tears before smiling. "Thank you big sis, you always make me feel better."
Terri smiled at that, "No thank you Ace. You gave me something to help me."
He looked at her in confusion.
"Have... the girls tell you about Atticus Rhodes?" Terri asked looking down.
"The scary man who uses the dragon uncle Joey uses?" Ace asked.
Terri nodded before sniffing with tears explaining.
Flashback (Daughter of Zarc, and Ray)...
Atticus just stared at the Xyz Monster. "How many of those worthless animals are you going to summon?"
"Hey! Never call them worthless!" Terri yelled offended. "There my buds till the very end, and they are what got me this far! To get Lulu back, stop Duel Academy, defeat the Professor, and save everyone from certain doom!"
"You want to know something Obsidian, I was there when the Xyz Dimension was invaded, and I'm the one who slaughtered those things who got in the way of our goals." Atticus told her. "My Red-Eyes dealt with them, just because I felt like blowing off a little steam when Jaden beat me."
"You were the one who murdered my animal friends!?" Terri asked very angry.
"If you want, I'll let you rejoin them very soon." Atticus told her.
"Do you know what you done!? There were more then friends!" Terri yelled. "Before I met Lulu, and everyone else they were my family, and been there for me ever since I was very little! And you took them away!"
"Let me tell you something." Atticus told her. "I. Don't. Care."
"Alright that's it! Now you done it!" Terri yelled as her eyes glowed a bit.
Few minutes later...
"Glory Dragon from Darkness comes here, and now to join his comrade's quest for revenge! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Come here, and now Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon!" Terri chanted.
Doom Chimera Dragon appeared roaring from the summoning.
"That Number!" Vector cried in shock.
"Terri..." Hart whispered fearfully.
Terri glared at Atticus as her new dragon roared a challenge to Atticus' own dragon.
"Your dragon is still worthless, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon destroy her monster!" Atticus declared. "Darkness Metal Flare!"
The dragon roared attacking the Number. When the smoke cleared Doom Chimera Dragon survived the battle due to it's special ability.
"What, your monster should have been destroyed!" Atticus argued.
"A Number can only be destroyed by another Number." Terri glared.
Few minutes later...
"Now Doom Chimera Dragon destroy Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!" Terri cried before yelling, "Doom Ray!"
The dragon charged a blast before firing it at Atticus' dragon. The attack struck Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon who roared in agony before exploding as Atticus went flying into a wall with a loud crack signifying his condition.
End Flashback...
Terri started crying as she finished explaining. Ace gasped and just hugged Terri.
"I... I nearly killed him." Terri choked out hugging him.
"But you didn't." Hart reminded her.
"He killed all of animal friends that... That I raised by..." Terri sobbed. "I nearly charged to the Fusion Dimension several times to make him pay... But with your picture Ace... I won't do that anymore."
Ace hugged her again. Terri continued crying hugging him. Hart hugged her too. A few minutes later Terri wiped her eyes as she said "Sorry... I still get sad every time I think about it."
"It's ok." Ace smiled.
Terri smiled as she said, "Your an angel Ace."
Ace smiled before his eyes widened. "Zoodiac Protector."
Terri raised an eyebrow.
"A new Link Monster based on you big sis." Ace smiled. "One that protects her animal friends forever and ever."
Terri gasped before smiling hugging him, "That sounds so special Ace."
Ace hugged her back before frowning. "My head hurts."
"You having a headache?" Hart asked.
Ace shook his head. "Too many people to make special cards."
Suddenly their Duel Discs beeped. Surprised they look. It was a universal message from Declan mentioning a Link Tournament starting in five days for anyone who wants to enter, the rules, and the prize being either a duel with anyone the winner wants or getting to work with the creator of Link to make a new deck.
"A new Link Tournament?" Hart asked surprised.
"That's what it says." Terri nodded.
"Did you have this idea Ace?" Hart asked him.
Ace shook his head before pausing. "Oh yeah, where's miss Mir big sis?"
"Mir?" Terri asked. "Since she can't be in the Fusion Dimension anymore she is with Jarrod in Synchro."
Ace nodded. "Mommy came up with an idea for her and I have a card for her too."
Terri looked surprised.
Ace took out the card, a Link Monster named Scorpioknight Mirage.
"Scorpioknight?" Terri asked.
Ace nodded. "Mommy said she used Scorpions But was bad, and Knights are good guys so we put them together so she can be a good person."
Terri smiled, "Mir would be thrilled when she sees this."
"I hope so." Ace smiled.
Terri smiled kissing his forehead. Ace giggled happily.
"Do you want me to come with you to Synchro?" Terri smiled.
"Ok, oh yeah we saw bobcats in my birthday, they were cool." Ace smiled.
"Yeah I know." Terri smiled as she said, "I'll be back Hart."
That was before they vanished. Ace blinked in surprise. "How'd we get here? Weren't we supposed to use the magic door?"
"Oh it is a card called the Dimensionizer." Terri smiled showing the card before they walked around seeing the Synchro Dimension, and the new city where the Commons, and Tops live in peace, and harmony now.
"Wow." Ace said in awe before looking around. "It's so big."
Terri giggled at this. Ace giggled before looking around for Mir or anybody he knew.
Eventually they found her with Jarrod as they look like their having dinner in the park. Jarrod now has longer hair, and has on a gray suit with a sign of a condor on his back along with white fingerless gloves.
Ace noticed before blushing and turning to Terri with a whisper. "Are the on a date thingy?"
Terri shrugged. Ace decided to risk it and slowly approached them. When he got close enough Jarrod turned. "Hm? Oh. Ace."
Ace looked nervous. "Are you busy?"
"No me, and Jarrod are only enjoying ourselves." Mir answered.
Ace nodded before smiling. "Mommy and I made you something miss Mir."
With that he handed her the card. Mir checked, and her eyes widen a bit.
"Big sis Stacy said you like scorpions so we made a new deck of good ones for you. See, it uses ven... stuff to make your cards stronger and won't hurt anybody." Ace smiled.
"Ah what do you know Mir? It seems like you can duel with your favorite bugs after all, and not get your father's Parasites involved." Jarrod smiled.
Ace smiled before nodding in agreement. Mir smiled as she said, "Thanks Ace."
That was before Terri noticed a ring on Mir's finger.
"Huh, is that..." Ace started noticing it before frowning. "I'm sorry for bothering you."
"No no your not bothering at all." Jarrod smiled.
Ace nodded but walked off to Terri.
"Big sis... wait, what if I win?" Ace asked suddenly.
"Hm?" Terri asked curious.
"The tournament." Ace explained before grinning.
"I don't know." Terri smiled.
"Ace? Terri?" asked a voice.
They turned to see. It was Alex who immediately picked up Alex in a big hug.
"Alex!" Terri smiled.
"Hi big sis." Alex smiled.
Ace chuckled.
Meanwhile...
"Hey Yusaku, Ai." A blue haired man told a blue haired teen, and a black, and blue Ignis.
The teen looked up at him. The man shows them the message Declan gave out. The teen read it before nodding calmly.
"Hm. A Tournament on Link Summoning?" The Ignis asked interested. "Ah no doubt we would find our guy by attending it."
"Agreed." The teen stated simply.
"Well wish you luck Yusaku." The man told him.
"I don't need luck." Yusaku replied bluntly.
The day of the tournament...
"Okay everyone it is time for one of the most dueling competitions of the century! Both me Nick Smiley, and my partner the Synchro Dimension's Melissa Trail will be your hosts for this tournament!" Nico Smiley cried announcing to a huge stadium.
"That's right duel fans, so let's not waste any time and start things off with the first Master Duel." Melissa added.
"But first off let us introduce the competitors!" Nico announced as a spotlight shined in about 50 people.
The crowd cheered seeing them.
Ryoken grinned, "Quite a audience."
"Yes indeed." Emma agreed.
"This feels familiar." Yuto chuckled. "The last one was the Frirndship Cup right Yuya?"
"Yeah. And he's happy." Yuya smiled directing to a guy with tanned skin, and a golden harness enjoying the cheers.
"Isn't he one of the new Link specialists?" Yuri inquired. "Interesting."
At the audience was Rin, and the Lancers who didn't join as she pouted, "This isn't fair. Alex, and the others can have the fun while I sit here."
"I know it isn't fair but it'll be worth it." Yoko smiled.
"It sure is a shame the great Sylvio didn't join but hey there's always a next time." Sylvio grinned.
"I guess." Rin frowned. "Oh, they're picking the first duelists."
"Okay everyone take a look on the screen for our first round match-ups!" Nico cried as the 50 pictures were shuffled on the screen as they watched on.
Slowly but surely the faces faded before only two were left, Sora and Crow.
"Well well it's us first. This new Link thing might be new but nothing I can't handle." Crow grinned to Sora.
"We'll see, so what kind of duel is it?" Sora asked.
"Melissa Trail said it's a Master Duel first." Ryoken answered. "Those duels brings out the true power of Link Monsters."
They nodded before stepping onto the arena.
"And it looks like we have the Synchro Dimension's Crow Hogan going up against the Fusion Dimension's Sora Perse!" Nico announced.
"Go get him Crow!" Tarren, Frank, and Amanda in the crowd cheered for him with Chojiro sitting with them as he smiled.
"I wouldn't underestimate Sora." Dennis chuckled.
"Yeah he did taught Tate how to Xyz Summon." Allie agreed.
"Good luck Crow." Sora smiled.
Crow grinned nodded back as they get ready.
"Okay, and let the first duel begin!" Nico Smiley announced.
"DUEL!"

Stacy grinned back.
"Looks like Sora is going back to Xyz Style." Yuya smiled. "Madolche sure fits him."
"Yeah, It does." Yugo grinned.
"Now I'll end my move with Card of Sanctity." Sora declared as they drew their cards.

"And as we know Synchro Monsters go to the Extra Monster zone when summoned from the Extra Deck!" Crow told Sora. "Which means I can't summon another Synchro Monster until Armor Master leaves the field!"
"That's right." Sora noted.
"Now I place 1 card down. Armor Master attack Sora!" Crow called as his Synchro charged at Sora.
Sora braces himself as the attack hit.

"Incredible! Four monsters at once! But can any of them come close to Crow's Armor Master?" Melissa asked.
'They can do more than that.' Sora grinned. "Appear, the Circuit of Royal Treats!"
The circuit appeared.
"What?" Lilly asked shocked.
"When did Madolche have a Link?" Dennis asked surprised.
"The summoning conditions are two Madolche monsters. I put Hootcake and Puddincess in the Link Markers, Circuit Combine! Link Summon, Link 2! Madolche Fresh Sistart!" Sora chanted.

"Now I'll use Tiaramisu's ability, detaching Chouxvalier to return him to my deck and shuffle Armor Master into your deck, but thanks to my Chateau and Ticket he returns to my hand instead where I can summon him." Sora smiled.
"Except Synchro Monsters don't return to the hand they go back to the Extra Deck." Crow told him.
"Exactly, and that means I win." Sora grinned. "Fresh Sistart attack Crow directly."
The monster grinned charging at Crow who took the blow. (Crow: 2000)
"Now Tiaramisu attack Crow directly and end this duel." Sora declared.
The queen fired a blast that hit Crow, and ended the match.

"Good match." Sora smiled offering his hand.
Crow grinned shaking his head.
"Well I say that was an impressive first match!" Nico Smiley announced grinning.
"Agreed, and hopefully the first of several to come." Melissa agreed.
"Looks like we got a big competition." The Ignis told Yusaku.
Yusaku just nodded. Crow, and Sora walked back to where Lilly hugged Sora. He hugged her back as the faces appeared again only for Sora's and Crow's to disappear.
"Well the first match is done so let's see what the next match should be!" Nico called.
Everyone turned as the faces slowly but surely started fading. Mason who was a competitor looked nervous as Bonnie with him took his hand as he smiled to her as she smiled back as they turned back. The faces that stayed are Yuya, and the tanned man with the golden harness.
"Good luck big bro." Stacy smiled.
"Thanks Stacy." Yuya smiled back.
The man turned, and grinned "I'll not go easy on ya."
"I might surprise you." Yuya smiled.
They both stepped in.
"Oh, and Yuya Sakaki the son of Yusho Sakaki is facing up against one of the most powerful Dueltainers, Gore!" Melissa announced.
Yuya's eyes widened. "Wait you're one of the new Dueltainers?"
"Yeah that is involved in this Link method." Gore grinned.
"Well then this might be a little bit harder than I thought." Yuya mentioned. "After you."

Yuya nodded seeing that.
"And now appear my Circuit!" Gore called as the circuit appeared. "Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are two 'Gouki' Monsters! I set Headbatt, and Twistcobra as the Link Markers!"
The two flew up in the bottom, and left arrows.
"And Gore starts off strong with his own Link Summon." Melissa announced.
"Will Yuya fall to this new mechanic just as Crow did before him?" Nico inquired.
"Circuit combined! Link Summon!" Gore called, "Appear Link 2, Gouki the Jet Ogre!"

"And now Headbatt, and Twistcobra's effects activates!" Gore grinned. "When their sent from the field to the graveyard I can add two Gouki cards from my deck to my hand!"
He adds Gouki Deathmatch, and Gouki Rematch.
"Alright then." Yuya nodded.
"And then I activate Gouki Deathmatch!" Gore called as both he, and Yuya were surrounded by a cage in a wrestling ring.

At the end of the Battle Phase, if the last counter was removed from this card by its own effect: You can Special Summon as many "Gouki" monsters as possible with different names from your handand/or Deck, then place 3 counters on this card.
"Huh?" Yuya asked looking around in confusion. "What's going on?"
"From here on out the true fights begin." Gore grinned. "For you see it has 3 Counters when activated."
Three championship belts appeared.
"And if one of my Goukis destroys one of your monsters it loses a counter." Gore continued. "And if the last counter is removed by this effect at the end of the battle phase I can summon as many Goukis as I want from my hand, or deck. And after that I get to place 3 more counters on it."
Yuya's eyes widened in shock. "Whoa, that's a powerful spell."
"I now place 1 card down, and that's it." Gore ended.
"And now what will Yuya do here?" Nico asked. "I think this cage has limited his resources."

"This lets me summon monsters from level 5 through 7 all at the same time."
"Since your doing it from the hand they don't go to the Extra Monster Zone." Gore grinned.
"Exactly, I only get one shot at this so I'll bring out Performapal Partnaga, Performapal Elephammer, and the star of this show, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya declared.

The two flew up fusing.
"Dual-colored eyed dragon! Become one with the blizzard behemoth, and give birth to a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Ferocious dragon with luminous feral eyes! Level 8! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

"That's right, and now I'll have Beast-Eyes attack your Gouki the Jet Ogre!" Yuya called.
Beast-Eyes charged the attack firing it.
"I play the face-down, Reinforce Truth! Don't worry this doesn't stop your attack." Gore grinned.

"Ok?" Yuya asked in confusion as the attack continued.
"It allows me to summon a level 2 or lower Warrior from my deck!" Gore grinned as a second Headbatt appeared defending as Jet Ogre shattered. (Gore: 3000) "And it might not be enough but when Jet Ogre is sent to the graveyard all Gouki monsters gives 500 additional attack points!"
(ATK: 800 + 500 = 1300)
"Well actually Gore, since Beast-Eyes destroyed a monster you take damage equal to Elephammer's original attack points." Yuya revealed.
The dragon fired a blast.
"I activate Gouki Octostrech's effect from my hand!" Gore called. "I send this card in my hand to the graveyard to halve the damage!"
The blast hit as he was pushed back a little. (Gore: 1700)
"I set one card and end my turn." Yuya finished.
Yuya: 4000
Gore: 1700

"Link 4?" Yuya asked in shock.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are at least 2 Gouki Monsters! I set Octostrech, Suprex, and Headbatt in the Link Markers!"
The three flew up entering the bottom, bottom-left, and bottom-right arrows.
'Or not.' Yuya thought.

"Wow, that's a really awesome monster Gore." Yuya smiled.
"And it comes with a special ability. Do you notice one thing about my regular Gouki monsters?" Gore grinned.
"Huh?" Yuya asked. "No."
"All of them don't have any defense points." Gore grinned, "And it's because of Great Ogre's ability! With it on the field all monsters loses attack points equal to their defense points! Ogre Pressure!"
The ogre roared at Partnaga, and Beast-Eyes.
Yuya's eyes widened in shock.
Partnaga: (ATK: 0)

"And next up Octostretch, Headbatt, and Suprex's effect's activates!" Gore grinned. "I can add three Gouki cards from my deck to my hand!"
Yuya nodded. 'Well, I kind of expected this one.'
Gore shows a second Suprex, Gouki Rematch, and Gouki Twistcobra.
"I can only play Gouki Rematch once a turn unfortunately." Gore grinned.
"Alright." Yuya nodded.
"And now I activate Twistcobora's ability! I can sacrifice a Gouki, and give Great Ogre a power up by it's attack points! I sacrifice Twistcobra!" Gore grinned as the monster shattered.
Great Ogre: (ATK: 2600 + 1600 = 4200)
Yuya just nodded seeing that.
"And when Twistcobora is sent I can add Gouki Risecobra to my hand." Gore said adding the card. "Now Great Ogre attack Partnaga!"
The monster shattered.
Yuya: 0000
Gore: 1700
Gore wins the duel!
"And now Gore wins the match!" Nico announced.
Gore walked over, and offered a hand to the downed Yuya with a smile.
Yuya took it with his own smile. "Oh well, you can't always win and it was fun. Maybe we can have a rematch sometime as an Action Duel."
"Like the Master Duel Rules slowing you the regular Action Duel Rules slows me down." Gore smiled.
"Well, good luck in the rest of the competition." Yuya smiled before walking over to Stacy and Zuzu.
Stacy hugged him, "You okay daddy?"
"Well I would have liked to last longer than one match but I'm still rooting for you two." Yuya smiled.
"Alright duel fans, after two intense matches we move onto the third." Nico Smiley announced.
"Who's gonna be next?" Yugi asked in the audience as they watched.
The faces appeared again before slowly fading to reveal...
"Well this is certainly a surprise, it seems the next two duelists participating in the first Speed Duel are Yusaku Fujiki and Yusei Fudo." Nico Smiley announced.
Alex smiled at Yusei.
Yusei smiled before walking over to Yusaku. "Good luck."
Yusaku turned to him before saying bluntly, "I don't need luck."
Yusei frowned at his attitude before getting on his Duel Runner.
Yusaku meanwhile got set on a board.
