The moment she said that Alison's duel disc began glowing as half turned red and an eyeball appeared as the other turned into blue crystals. Zarc, and everyone else looked surprised as Alex started shaking.
"It's ok, my Duel Disc is just... special. It can change shape but everything's ok." Alison smiled turning to her.
Alex sighed in relief before frowning, "I think I'll be a pathetic big sister."
"You'll be a great big sister." Yugo smiled. "It's ok to be scared Alex, and you love your little brother already."
"But I'm always scared, and a crybaby. Like a coward." Alex pointed out with tears in her eyes.
"It's ok." Terri hugged her.
Alex hugged her back. Zarc continued on, "Well now as Darkwurm was summoned I'm allowed to add Supreme King Gate Infinity to my hand! And next up I activate Gate Zero's ability!

"Yeah plus he would like to use other dragons for things such as this." Yuri agreed.
"Oh... daddy's really smart." Ace admitted.
"Yeah he is." Dawn smiled.
Ace nodded before hugging her.
"Now as Gate Zero was destroyed by an effect it joins Black Fang Magician in the Pendulum Zone." Zarc said as Gate Zero appeared beside Black Fang.

"Sorry, but is there a point to this move? I mean you just used up your entire hand to summon a monster with no points to your Extra Monster Zone." Alison pointed out.

"And now since Gate Infinity was destroyed by an effect it goes to my other Pendulum Zone!" Zarc called as Gate Infinity appeared making his powerful scale of 0 and 13.
"It's just a shame you're only allowed one Pendulum Summon per turn." Melissa pointed out. "That scale is perfect."
"Well that won't go to waste I play Gate Zero's Pendulum Ability! It destroys both itself, and Infinity!" Zarc called as the two shattered.
Alison nodded calmly seeing that.
"And in exchange I can add 1 Fusion, or 1 Polymerization from my deck to my hand." Zarc said adding the card. "And the card I chose is, Miracle Synchro Fusion!"

"And now I end my two face-downs!" Zarc ended.

"True, he certainly did." Melissa agreed.
"That was really impressive, a bit long but I like it." Alison smiled.
Zarc nodded at this. "Alright Allison. Your turn."
"Before that, I wanted to ask you something. Have you heard the tale that transcends history, and our very world?" Alison asked.
"A Tale?" Zarc asked.

As she said that Cervantes' blades started glowing as Voldo collapsed and a red energy entered the swords causing them to crackle with electricity.
Cervantes: (ATK: 2400 + (2000/2) = 3400)
"Now attack Zarc's dragon."

"It looks like Zarc is preparing for his big move." Nico announced.
"And now I remove Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm, Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom, Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascend, Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, and Galaxy Stealth Dragon to Fusion Summon!" Zarc called as the five dragons fused.

Alison looked at the dragon in confusion. "Um... what's that? Where's the Five-Headed Dragon?"
"Whoa that's one powerful dragon!" Ai cried stunned seeing Z-ARC.
Everyone immediately started panicking seeing the monster. Dawn frowned at this. "I can't blame them for seeing it. But didn't they already saw him during Daddy's match with Tom?"
"Not everyone." Ray reminded her.
Zarc looked on before closing his eyes, "When Z-ARC is summoned every card on your field is destroyed!"
Alison's eyes widened in horror as her set card and Cervantes both shattered only for his blades to fly into the air and merge into a larger sword before embedding itself in the ground.
"What the?" Zarc asked surprised.
"With the destruction of Cervantes his final effect activates letting me summon a new monster from my Extra Deck." Alison stated as an eye on the sword opened and it looked around before staring directly at Zarc. "I summon a Fusion Monster, Soul Sword Azure Nightmare in attack mode."

Everyone who can hear Duel Spirits looked shocked.
"Whoa did he just talk?" Lance asked shocked.
"'Your soul is mine'?" Ryoken asked confused.
"When Nightmare is summoned, one of his effects grants him 500 attack points for every monster in my graveyard." Alison stated before breathing heavily as Voldo and Cervantes appeared only to turn into electricity and flow into Nightmare's sword.
Soul Sword Azure Nightmare: (ATK: 4000 + (500 * 2) = 5000)
"He's stronger then Z-ARC!" Ace cried shocked.
Riley then noticed Casey is starting to breath heavily.
"Huh, what's wrong?" Gore asked him.
"That... that monster... It's evil, and contains powerful darkness. Almost as equal as Sardon's." Casey answered.
"What?" Terri asked in horror.
Zarc grunted taking on this guy. "I equip Mist Body onto Z-ARC!"
Mist Body

The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle.
At that the mist gathered Z-ARC before stopping.
"With this battle can't destroy Z-ARC, and he also can't be destroyed or targeted by any of your cards!" Zarc called. "I place 2 cards down, and end my turn!"
Alison 3rd Turn:
(Alison: 1600)
The moment her turn began Alison collapsed to her hands and knees as Nightmare raised his blade.
"Hey she just lost half her points!" Kelly cried. "Just what is that guy doing to her!?"
"Nightmare feeds on Souls, each turn he's in play he takes half of mine." Alison explained weakly. "With one exception."
"Exception?" Zarc asked.
"It doesn't matter, I don't have the card I need so instead I'll just set one card and attack Supreme King Z-ARC." Alison declared.
Nightmare charged as he slashed Z-ARC who roared in pain as Zarc reminded, "Due to Mist Body, Z-ARC isn't destroyed by this attack!"
"You still take the battle damage." Alison noted.
The shockwave hit Zarc causing him to grunt. (Zarc: 2400)
"I end my turn." Alison stated.
Zarc: 2400
Alison: 1600
Zarc 4th Turn:

"Z-ARC gains the attack points of all monsters on my field but only he can attack, and you won't take damage!" Zarc called.
Supreme King Z-ARC: (ATK: 4000 + 1200 = 5200)
"He's stronger than the Azure Nightmare?" Alison asked in shock.
"Ooo yeah! That dragon is gonna bash that knight!" Ai cheered.
"Go Z-ARC attack Azure Nightmare!" Zarc called as the dragon fired a blast.
The blast struck Nightmare causing him to cry out only for Alison to start doing the same thing. Casey started feeling pain that cause him to scream as well.

If there is a "Soul Sword Spirit Elysium" on the field destroy both that monster and this card and if you do take damage equal to their combined attack points.
"Wh-What the!?" Zarc asked shocked.
"This is the soul within the chaotic sword Soul Edge, Inferno. Nightmare was just a shell." Alison explained weakly.
Casey knelled down breathing, and looked in pain. Riley hugged him and tried to think of all the happiest memories they'd had since the end of the Dimensional War.
"Hey is he alright?" Skye asked shocked seeing Casey in this.
"No, but he'll be better after the match." Declan answered.
'Things just got worse.' Zarc thought seeing Inferno. "I end with one face-down which means Union Attack's effect ends here."

Inferno slashed Z-ARC causing it to roar not destroyed due to Mist Body as Zarc grunted taking damage. (Zarc: 0900)
"Zarc, the key is on my arm." Alison whispered before ending her turn.
'Her arm...?' Zarc thought looking.
That's when he noticed her duel disc, half of it looked like the blade Cervantes, Nightmare, and now Inferno was holding but the other half looked different.
'Hey what's that?' Zarc thought seeing it. 'It looks... Holy.'
"Ok, anybody have any bright ideas?" Yuri inquired. "That thing is clearly dangerous."
"And invincible." Yuto grunted. "Unless Zarc can deal a ton of damage that thing is doom."
"I hate to say it, but Sardon's copy might be useful around now." Yuki admitted.
Zarc: 0900
Alison: 1600
Zarc 5th Turn:
Zarc placed a hand on his deck as he looked at the holy part of Alison's Duel Disk. 'She said that's the key... I better make sure I use it now...' He closed his eyes.

Everyone watched nervously to see what he would draw. Zarc looked at the card.
Path of Unison
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster on the field: Change the target's name to one other monster name until end of turn.
'This is...' Zarc thought before looking at her Duel Disk, and suddenly sees something.
"Dad?" Dawn asked uncertainly.

"Any name?" Nico inquired. "Just what is Zarc up to?"
"And the name I pick is... Soul Sword Spirit Elysium!" Zarc declared.
Alison's eyes widened in shock. "How...?"
Blue Frost grinned before she morphed into a woman wearing a white dress, and holding a holy version of Soul Edge. The moment she appeared angel wings formed on her back as the two Soul Sword Spirits collided creating a pillar of spiraling red and blue light.
Zarc: 0900
Alison: 0000
Zarc wins the duel!
The moment that happened Casey's breathing started to calm as he looked less in pain. Riley held him close just to be safe. Zarc smiled walking over to Alison, and offered her a hand. She smiled taking it. "I'm sorry you only saw half of my deck."
Zarc helped her up saying, "Don't worry about that."
Alison shook her head. "There are two swords, Soul Edge is the one you saw. The other is Soul Calibur, equally evil, but opposite to Soul Edge. When I use both they balance each other and that... it doesn't happen."
Zarc only gave her a hug.
"Zarc, I'm married." Alison stated.
"I was only trying to make you feel better." Zarc told her.
"I know, but I'm ok." Alison smiled.
"Are you sure? That Nightmare guy did number on you." Zarc told her.
"I just need to rest, and watching the duels is fine."
Zarc nodded at this. With that they stepped down as the faces appeared.
"Ms. Alison?" Ace asked worried.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Are you okay?" Ace asked her.
"Yeah, I'll be ok." Alison smiled.
Ace hugged her. Dawn smiled at that.
"Hey guys Stacy's next." Terri said seeing this.
"Huh?" they asked looking.
They see Stacy is indeed dueling next going against Emma. Stacy nodded.
"And to also make things interesting these young ladies will be dueling in the first Action Master Duel of the Tournament!" Nico announced.
"Perfect timing." Lilly grinned.
"Show them your Dracoforming big sis." Alex smiled.
Stacy nodded as she, and Emma walked to the field.
"And now let us activate the Action Master Field, Fields of Illusion!" Nico announced holding the Action Field up before they appeared in a field where Illusions are around.

"Oh, this is rather interesting." Emma smiled before turning to Stacy. "After you."
Stacy nodded getting set.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: What Have You Done by Within Temptation)
Stacy: 4000
Emma: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Rin suddenly gasped and winced in pain.
"Huh?" Yoko asked noticing. "Rin is everything okay?"
"He kicked a lot harder than usual." Rin answered before wincing again. "It should fade... hopefully."
"Are you sure it isn't a sign your going to labor?" Dennis asked.
"I'm not even eight months, and..." Rin started before wincing again.
"Well save that for after this." Sylvio stated arrogantly.
Rin glared at him angrily before turning back to the stage.
Stacy 1st Turn:
Stacy drew before running for an Action Card.
"Hey where's she going?" Lance asked seeing this.
"This is a Master Action duel, she's looking for Action Cards." Terri answered.

Placing the two in her spell, and trap cards zones they flew up emerging.
"Ok." Emma nodded. "I don't Pendulum Summon myself though."

Awakening from Beyond

"A combo to bring her monster back to her hand." Skye realized.
"And it's also her ace." Yuya grinned. "Stacy reinforced her Deck to recycle, and summon Master Peace anyway she can. That is one of the fastest ways she can add it to her hand."
"Yeah." Yugo agreed.
"So now in exchange for you drawing two cards I can add Master Peace to my hand." Stacy grinned showing her ace.
Emma drew her cards.
"And now Pendulum Summon! Appear to the stage my monsters!" Stacy grinned the portal spew. "Lector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord, and Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer!"

"This is my favorite part." Ace smiled.
"As some of you may know the main star of this performance can only be summoned by tributing both a Dracoslayer, and a Dracoverlord!" Stacy grinned as the two shattered, and she jumped up. "Let's welcome our main attraction! The strong Master Peace, the True Dracoslayer!"

If this card in its owner's control is destroyed by an opponent's card (by battle or card effect): You can Special Summon 1 "Dracoslayer" monster and 1 "Dracoverlord" monster from your Deck.
Emma's eyes widened in surprise seeing the monster.
"2950?"
Stacy grinned as she grabbed an Action Card saying, "Now I'll end with a face-down."
Emma 1st Turn:
"Alright, I'll start with three facedown cards and then I'll summon Altergeist Meluseek in attack mode." Emma stated.

You can only use this effect of "Altergeist Meluseek" once per turn.
"Huh?" Stacy asked seeing it. "Whoa she's kind of pretty."
"Why thank you, now then Meluseek attack Stacy directly." Emma declared.
The mermaid spellcaster charged as Stacy took the hit. (Stacy: 3500)
"Now since Meluseek dealt damage a card on your field is destroyed and I think I'll pick Master Peace." Emma explained.
The monster meditated.
"I play Master Peace's ability! Once a turn when a effect is played I can negate that effect, and destroy it!" Stacy revealed.
Emma watched as her monster shattered. "Well when Meluseek is destroyed I can add an Altergeist monster to my hand and I pick Altergeist Multifaker."
"So that's why that thing's her ace." Gore said seeing that.
"That's her ace?" Yuto questioned.
"He meant Master Peace." Skye clarified.
"Master Peace is awesome." Lilly smiled.
"Okay Mrs. Bessho what's next?" Stacy smiled.
"I have to end my turn." Emma answered.
Stacy: 3500
Emma: 4000
Stacy 2nd Turn:
Stacy drew as she frowned, 'These new rules are not fair.'
"Something wrong?" Emma asked.
Stacy grinned, "Alright I take my Scale, and Pendulum Summon! Appear back Luster Pendulum!"
The Dracoslayer reappeared.
"Trap card open, Altergeist Emulelf!" Emma called. "I can summon this trap as a monster in defense mode with 1800 defense points."
Altergeist Emulelf
Continuous Trap Card
Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster(Spellcaster/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 1400/DEF 1800). (This card is also still a Trap.) If Summoned this way, while it is in the Monster Zone, other "Altergeist" Traps you control cannot be destroyed by card effects, also neither player can target them with card effects.
"Well sorry but I play Master Peace's ability!" Stacy cried as Master Peace readied itself.
Emma frowned as her card shattered.
"But it's now used up." Skye said seeing this.
"You win." Emma relented.
Stacy raised an eyebrow at this.
"It's your turn and your monsters are strong enough to wipe out all 4000 of my life points." Emma explained.
"You can still use an Action Card." Stacy told her.
"A what?" Emma asked.
"We're having an Action Duel. Cards like these are common." Stacy smiled showing the Action Card she has. "You can use these to do multiple things. Their scattered all along here."
"Oh, good to know." Emma nodded before looking around for one and picking it up.
(Emma: 3200)
Stacy sweatdropped, "Some of them are deadly. That one was Lousy Luck."
Lousy Luck
Action Trap Card
You take 800 damage.
"Wow, how long has it been since we've seen an Action Trap?" Tate inquired.
"4 years?" Leo guessed.
"Yeah." Sora nodded in agreement.
"Leo do you think the two of us will duel each other?" Alex asked her boyfriend.
"I don't know." Leo admitted. "We might."
Stacy called, "Master Peace attack Mrs. Bessho directly!"
The attack struck Emma.
(Emma: 0250)
"Now Luster Pendulum attack her directly!" Stacy called.
Emma ran to grab another Action Card and grabbed it only to frown. "This could have turned things around if I knew about them."
"What card is it?" Stacy asked her.
"It's called Mirror Barrier, and it would have protected Meluseek." Emma answered.
"Well don't worry you got one more chance. Action Master Fields allows you to have 2 Action Cards in your hand." Stacy smiled.
"That might be true, but the closest one is behind your monster and last I checked running towards a monster is a mistake." Emma pointed out.
"Well suppose it's knowledge for the future." Stacy smiled.
"Definitely." Emma nodded in agreement.
Luster Pendulum slashed her.
Stacy: 3500
Emma: 0000
Stacy wins the duel!
'Well that's a loss, but with me being out of the competition it gives me a free excuse to look more into this Sardon person.' she thought calmly.
(A/N (bopdog111): Sorry if you were expecting more but me, and Ulrich have some trouble with the Altergeists.)
(A/N (Ulrich362): Well to be fair Emma didn't fully understand Action Cards and also had other plans in mind then simply winning a duel. She'll have more matches in the future but for now her goal is to gather information.)
Nico announced, "Okay everyone the one that won the first Action Master Duel is the Dracoformer Stacy Sakaki!"
"Awesome job Stacy." Yuya smiled.
Stacy walked to the group as she smiled. Tate smiled before kissing her cheek. "You did amazing Stacy."
"Thanks Tatey." Stacy smiled hugging him.
The faces appeared again after that. They looked over. The faces slowly started to fade before revealing the next two duelists for a Speed Duel, were Terri Obsidian and Tate. Terri, and Tate blinked turning to each other. Tate suddenly looked down. "Of all the people in this tournament... why Terri?"
"Tate?" Hart asked surprised seeing his friend like this.
"It's been four years... but the last time I dueled Terri was. That day." Tate reminded them.
That was when they remembered that Tate, and Terri dueled when a Fusion Parasite possessed him, and dueled Stacy, and really scared her with Digital Bug Scorpionetwork causing Terri to take over, and defeated him.
"I know it's in the past but... it still scares me how close I came to killing both of you... all six of you." Tate admitted. "If Stacy hadn't stopped me from declaring that attack..."
Stacy hugged him as she said, "But it had helped me get over my fear of Scorpions."
Tate just gently hugged her back.
"So you want to do this Tate? We don't have to do it if you don't want too." Terri told him.
"I do, I mean we're friends now... I think? Though what about Alex?" Tate asked.
"Yeah we are friends." Terri smiled.
"I'll be okay." Alex smiled to him. "What happened four years ago helped me with some courage."
Tate nodded. "Then ok."
The two walked.
"And here we are! A Speed Duel between Terri Obsidian, and Tate!" Nico Smiley announced.
"Who do you think will win this one?" Rin inquired.
"If I had to guess Terri. She has more with the Speed Experience." Dennis answered, and shook a little. "Not to mention she took me down."
"Maybe, but don't forget that Tate beat Mir before and on top of that they use really similar strategies. I don't think it's quite that simple." Sylvio pointed out.
"You know Tate it's a bit funny." Terri smiled.
"Funny?" Tate asked getting on the board only to wobble slightly. "What's funny?"
Terri getting on her's stumbling a bit before answering, "Despite being the Pendulum Boyfriend of Stacy you never Pendulum Summoned."
Tate paused before blinking. "That's... wait why haven't I?"
"And instead use Xyz." Terri giggled.
"Then again you have Pendulum Summoned... but does that even count?" Tate asked before shrugging. "Oh well, ladies first?"
Terri nodded.
"Alright everyone let us make way for the second Speed Duel! But first duelists do you need a recap of the rules?" Nico asked the two.
"It would probably help." Tate admitted.
"Yeah." Terri agreed.
"Well there simple! First off on it you can only have 4 cards in your starting hand!" Melissa started.
"There is no Main Phase 2, and only 3 Spell/Trap, and Monster Zones!" Nico continued.
"And once a duel you activate a Special Ability known as a Skill just as long as they fit the conditions!" Melissa finished.
The two of them nodded in understanding.
"Alright duelists ready yourself for the Speed Duel!" Nico announced.
"DUEL!" Tate and Terri called together.

"Just making sure I remember, after all we may be friends but I don't plan on losing the duel." Tate grinned.
"Well now as Throughblade was summoned I can discard a Zoodiac card to draw a card." Terri said discarding Whiptail, and drawing.
"She's starting off strong." Kite smiled.

"And with it's effect I can summon a second Ramram!" Terri called summoning the monster. "And then as my first Ramram was destroyed I can summon a Zoodiac from my graveyard!"

Tate's eyes widened in shock. 'Wait what the?'

"Ok... that complicates things a little bit." Tate admitted.
"And now as long as it's out all Earth Attribute monsters I have gain 500 attack, and defense points while all Wind Attribute monsters loses 400 attack, and defense points!" Terri called.
"Oh, well good thing I don't use Wind monsters." Tate smiled.
Missus Radiant: (ATK: 1400 + 500 = 1900)
Zoodiac Whiptail: (ATK: 1200 + 500 = 1700/DEF: 400 + 500 = 900)

"Oh no." Tate frowned.
"Due to it's ability it gains attack, and defense points equal to the Zoodiacs on him!" Terri called.
"It's still just one." Tate recalled. 'A really annoying and powerful one but still...'
Broadbull: (ATK: ? + 1200 = 1200/DEF: 0 + 400 = 400)
"And due to Missus Radiant's ability it gains 500 attack, and defense points!" Terri called.

"It wasn't your monster I wanted to switch Terri." Tate grinned. "It was mine."
"You wanted to switch Centibit to defense mode?" Terri asked.
"That's right, because when I do that I'm allowed to summon a level three insect from my deck in defense mode like my Digital Bug Cocoondenser." Tate revealed. "Giving me two level three monsters."

"Now since I used Centibit and Cocoondenser to summon him, he can attack all your defense position monsters once each, and he can also prevent you from using cards or effects until the end of the damage step when he does attack a defensive monster." Tate stated. "Though I don't want to do that, I want to use another spell called Bug Signal."
"Bug Signal... The main Digital Bug Rank-Up-Magic Card." Terri said remembering that.

"Ok, now I'll set two cards and have Corebage attack Missus Radiant." Tate called.
The monster charged as the monster shattered. (Terri: 3700)
"That's all for now Terri." Tate smiled.
"Since Missus Radiant left the field Broadbull loses it's boost." Terri told him.
"Yup." Tate nodded. "I might have accidentally forgotten to grab my Link Monster but I'm not planning on losing the duel that quickly."
Broadbull: (ATK: 1700 - 500 = 1200/DEF: 900 - 500 = 400)

Tate swallowed nervously.
"Now I use both Ramram, and Throughblade to build the Overlay Network!" Terri called as the two flew up.

"Hi there... Drident. Can't say I'm glad to see you this time." Tate admitted.
Drident only smirked, "Ah no worries Tate. I'm glad that what happened before isn't what's happening now."
"Thanks, that means a... Wait what?" Tate a asked in disbelief. "Why are you talking and how do I understand you?"
"What? Never heard anything from a Duel Spirit?" Drident grinned.
"No." Tate answered. "I know they exist but... I've never heard any of you speak."
"Well guess I'm first." Drident grinned.
"Yeah, I guess so." Tate nodded before closing his eyes. "And Corebage is about to be destroyed isn't he?"
"Yep." Terri answered as Drident took an Overlay Unit charging at Corebadge. (ORU: 3 - 2)
Tate winced as his monster shattered instantly.
"And now I switch Broadbull to attack mode!" Terri called as the monster switched. Added together would be 3200 points of damage which isn't enough to beat Tate.
"At least you can't attack this turn." Tate mentioned. "So are you done?"
"Yeah that's it." Terri nodded.
"Not quite, I have two set cards remember?" Tate asked. "Specifically Xyz Reborn and Bug Signal number two."

Terri smiled, "Tate thank ya."
"Huh, why?" Tate asked.
"This! I activate my face-down! The Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Limitover Force!" Terri cried playing the card Yuto gave her when she was five.

(This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.)
Tate's eyes widened in shock.
"Tate's probably regretting his move about now." Hart mentioned.
"Since you summoned a monster using a Rank-Up-Magic Card I'll follow your steps, and rank up Drident by 1!" Terri called as Drident flew to the Overlay Network.
"I guess dueling someone from the Xyz Dimension with Xyz Monsters wasn't the best idea." Tate admitted.
"This spells costs me half my points." Terri said grunting. (Terri: 0850) "But now the monster I'm summoning can make it worth the effort!"
At that the Overlay Network intensifies.
"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.

"She sure summoned something terrifying!" Ai cried seeing it.
"No attack points." Yusaku mentioned noticing.
"Then it must have an effect." Kolter realized.
"It does, and it's a powerful one." Hart mentioned.
"For each Overlay Unit on him Chimera Dragon gains 1000 attack points!" Terri smiled.
Doom Chimera Dragon: (ATK: 0 + (1000 * 3) = 3000)
"And due to Limitover Force his points multiply by how many Rank-Up-Magic cards played this far otherside from Linitover Force!" Terri called. "With that it's power doubles!"
Doom Chimera Dragon roared. (ATK: 3000 x 2 = 6000)
"You're right, it does." Tate nodded. "Except you forgot two things Terri."
"Two things?" Terri asked confused.
"That's right, thanks to Digital Revolution and Butterglitchtopia itself by removing two Overlay Units I can activate two effects, first all your monsters switch into defense mode where their abilities are negated." Tate grinned. (ORU: 3 -2 - 1)
Doom Chimera, and Broadbull switched mode, and their reduced to no points shocking Terri.
"Then second, since his abilities are negated by using another one of Butterglitchtopia's Overlay Units I can destroy one of your defense position monsters and you can't use any cards or effects to stop it. So I'll destroy Number 5!" Tate declared.
Butterglitchtopia charged as Doom Chimera Dragon roared in agony shattering.
"Now I'll..." Tate started only to pause. "Realize I just messed up and end my turn."
"Huh what's going on with Tate?" Hart asked noticing this.
"Broadbull's Overlay Unit is Whiptail, which means if Butterglitchtopia attacks and destroys it his Xyz Monster will end up banished leaving him with nothing protect his life points. Monsters in the graveyard can't be in defense mode and so their effects would still trigger." Kite answered. "If he destroyed Broadbull with his effect, he could have safely destroyed Doom Chimera Dragon with his attack but he mixed up the order."
Terri: 0850
Tate: 4000
Terri 3rd Turn:
Terri drew as she thought, 'Attacking Butterglitchtopia like that would not be a good idea. Luckily I got something.'
"I play the effect of Zoodiac Barrage!" Terri called.
Tate nodded.
"By destroying a face-up card on my field I can summon a different Zoodiac! I destroy Broadbull!" Terri called as Braodbull shattered.
"Huh?" Tate asked.
"So now appear Zoodiac Bunnyblast!" Terri called as the monster appeared.

"Ok..." Tate nodded. 'What's she doing?'
"With this I can shuffle five monsters from my graveyard to my deck, and draw two cards!" Terri called shuffling Ramram, Broadbull, Chakanine, Drident, and Throughblade to the Deck, and then drew twice.
"I have a bad feeling all of a sudden." Tate admitted nervously.
"Now I activate my Skill! A Day to the Zoo!" Terri called.
A Day at the Zoo
Terri's Skill
The user Special Summons as many "Zoodiac" monsters with with different names from it's Deck or Graveyard as possible to Main Monster Zones.
"That's the end." Hart smiled. "Terri's going to win."
"I summon as many Zoodiacs from my Deck or Graveyard to the field!" Terri called. "I summon Throughblade, and Whiptail!"
The two Zoodiacs appeared with Bunnyblast.
"Terri... I lose don't I?" Tate asked.
"We'll find out." Terri grinned. "Now I use Whiptail, Throughblade, and Bunnyblast to build the Overlay Network!"
The three flew up.
"Come back Zoodiac Chakanine!" Terri cried as the dog Zoodiac appeared grinning. (ORU: 3) (ATK: 0 + 800 + 1200 + 1600 = 3600/DEF: 800 + 0 + 400 = 1200)
"Well things are happening left, and right!" Melissa cried amazed how much power there having.
"Definitely." Nico agreed.
"Told you it wouldn't be that simple." Sylvio mentioned.
While that was happening a sunset begin to happen making a perfect background for the duel.
"Wow, so pretty." Ace smiled seeing it.
Terri sped in front of Tate with a grin, "Alright now I rebuild the Overlay Network with Chakanine!"
Chakaine flew back in.
"Come back again Zoodiac Drident!" Terri called as her ace reappeared smirking. (ORU: 4) (ATK: 0 + 800 + 1200 + 1600 = 3600/DEF: 800 + 0 + 400 = 1200)
"Hi again, wish you were a little weaker." Tate admitted.
Drident smirked, "Oh it's not my attack points you should fully worry about."
Tate blinked before his eyes widened.
"I activate Drident's ability! By using an Overlay Unit, Butterglitchtopia is destroyed!" Terri called. (ORU: 4 - 3)
Tate's ace shattered.
"Now I play the Equip Spell, Big Bang Shot to Drident!" Terri called. "This allows him to gain 400 attack points!"

Drident: (ATK: 3600 + 400 = 4000)
"And that was my other mistake." Tate sighed before showing Terri the card in his hand, No Entry.
Terri turned as she smiled, "Ready?"
"Yeah, I'm ready." Tate nodded. "I didn't expect that spell but honestly I like this duel a lot more than our first match. Though next time I plan on beating you."
Terri grinned, "Well then I guess I'll get ready for ya. Drident attack Tate directly! Dragon Halberd!"
Drident grinned charging as a green dragon soul charged his Halberd raising it to slash.
The attack struck wiping out Tate's life points as he lost his balance and fell from the board.
Terri: 0850
Tate: 0000
Terri wins the duel!

"Well that was a spectacular duel! Let's give a round applause for our two duelists!" Nico Smiley announced.
