Ulrich362: Well, lets see how this next one goes. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS but we own the OCs!
"Poor Alex." Jack whispered.
The Synchro people nodded in agreement.
"I hope Rin is alright." Akiza said worried.
"Yeah, so do I." Yusei nodded as the faces appeared again.
They looked to see.
"Well, this is certainly going to be interesting." Nico Smiley announced. "We have Riley Akaba going up against Mokuba Kaiba."
Mokuba turned over to his opponent.
Riley blinked in surprise before smiling. "Good luck."
You too." Mokuba nodded back.
With that they stepped up to the arena and activated their Duel Discs.
"And what's more these new rules won't slow me." Mokuba smiled.
Riley nodded. "You have the advantage."

Riley nodded seeing the spell.
"So now I by sacrificing Gishki Shadow in my hand I can summon a new monster. And when Shadow is used to summon a Water Attribute Ritual Monster it counts as the entire tribute." Mokuba told her showing the card.
"Alright." Riley nodded.

"A powerful start from the younger brother of Seto Kaiba. His Ritual Monsters are exempt from the new Master rules." Nico Smiley announced.
"Yeah. Ritual Monster aren't summoned from the Extra Deck so they go to the Main Monster Zone!" Melissa agreed.
"You're really strong Mokuba." Riley smiled.
Mokuba blushed a little, "Th-Thanks... Just trying my best for Kelly even since you guys manage to get my urge back 4 years ago."
"Yay Moki!" Kelly cheered.
Mokuba blushed as he waved to her.
"Back to topic Levianima attack Film Magician!" Mokuba called as his monster charged. "And now at this moment his Special Ability activates!"
"So does Film Magician's." Riley reminded him.
Film Magician: (ATK: 0 + 2700 = 2700)
"Well now I can draw a card when Levianima attacks, and if it's a Gishki monster I can look at a card in your hand." Mokuba told her.
"So since it is you can look at a card in my hand." Riley noted. "Though only Levianima will be destroyed from the battle."
Mokuba drew as he shows Gishki Chain. Riley nodded. "Ok, what card do you want to see?"
"The middle would be nice." Mokuba answered as Levinanima shattered.
Riley nodded revealing C/C Critical Eye to him. Mokuba nodded before adding, "Now I activate Gishki Aquamirror's ability from my graveyard!"
Yugi smiled hearing that.
"With it I can shuffle it in my deck, and add a Gishki Ritual Monster to my hand from the graveyard!" Mokuba explained shuffling the Mirror Card as he shows Levinanima to her.
"Ok." Riley nodded with a smile.
"Your turn." Mokuba ended.

"Huh?" Riley asked.
"This negates your attack." Mokuba told her as C/C/C Water Dagger was pushed back by a wave of water. "And I don't have any Sea Serpents, Aqua, or Fish monsters but if I do you would take 800 points of damage for each one."
"Does it end the battle phase?" Riley asked.
"No it doesn't. Why?" Mokuba asked.
"Because Nightmare Critical Loop lets me send Water Dagger of Battle to the graveyard to revive C/C Critical Eye during the battle phase, and then I can play Critical Overlay." Riley answered.

Then, immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 Xyz Monster, using the "C/C Critical Eye" you control and this card only, but it is destroyed during the End Phase.

Gale smiled at that.
"I attack with Water Shield of Battle, so now all Water Monsters switch their attack and defense points and for each one my Shield gains 300 more points." Riley mentioned.
Gishki Avance: (ATK: 800/DEF: 1500)
Water Shield of Battle: (ATK: 1000 + 300 + 300 = 1600/DEF: 100)
The monster shattered as Mokuba grunted. (Mokuba: 3200)
Riley just closed her eyes. "I end my turn, so Water Shield of Battle is destroyed."
The shield shattered.
"That's it." Declan noted calmly. "The duel is over."
Mokuba: 3200
Riley: 4000
Mokuba 2nd Turn:

You can only use 1 "Renewal of the World" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
"What is that?" Yuya asked in shock.
secs ago"A new very rare trap card." Mokuba answered. "I was really lucky to come across this one. It allows me to banish a Ritual Monster from my deck."
He shows Evigishki Zielgigas before pocketing it.
"There has to be more to it than that." Riley noted.
"Yeah by doing that I can do two effects of it by sending it to the graveyard. To either add the monster I banished with it's effect. Or Ritual Summon it." Mokuba explained.
"That's a powerful trap." Melissa mentioned.
"And I chose it's first effect! Ritual Summon it!" Mokuba called as the trap shattered as he called, "I sacrifice Gishki Vision, and like Shadow it counts as the entire tribute for a Water Attribute Ritual Monster!"
Riley nodded hearing that.
"Legendary Gigas of the Forbidden Arts! Cross through the tidal waves, and from your power join through, and give your judgement! Ritual Summon! Join us level 10! Evigishki Zielgigas!"

"Now I summon Gishki Chain." Mokuba said as the monster appeared.

If this card is Normal Summoned: Look at the top 3 cards of your Deck, you can reveal 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card among them and add it to your hand, also after that, place any remaining cards on the top of your Deck in any order.
"Whenever it's summoned I can look at the top 3 cards of my deck, and add a Ritual Spell, or Ritual Monster to my hand among them after revealing it, and after that I can place the rest back in any order I like."
Riley nodded before smiling. "You win."
Mokuba shows Gishki Photomirror, Gishki Ariel, and a second Renewal of the World before adding Photomirror, and place the rest back.
"Now with Zielgigas' ability by paying 1000 points I can look at the top card of my deck." Mokuba told her. (Mokuba: 2200) "If it's a Gishki monster 1 card on the field returns to the hand."
'Huh, what's he doing?' Riley thought in confusion.
Mokuba drew showing Gishki Ariel. "And you'll be returning your left face-down to your hand."
Riley nodded returning the card to her hand.
"Riley the reason why I did that is because you likely have something waiting." Mokuba told her. "Like that trap called Instant Shutter."
"Actually Mokuba, I didn't have that set." Riley admitted.
'And she wasn't suppose to reveal that.' Mokuba thought with a sweat-drop. "Zielgigas, Chain attack her!"
Mokuba: 2200
Riley: 0000
Mokuba wins the duel!
Mokuba walked over offering her a hand. Riley smiled taking it.
"Sorry Riley." Mokuba smiled.
"It's ok." Riley smiled as the faces appeared again.
They walked back to the group as Mokuba smiled turning to Kelly. She hugged him hugged her back.
"Oh, and it looks like next up is a Master Action Duel between Haru and Mason." Nico Smiley announced.
They looked as it was indeed so. Dawn turned to her boyfriend. Lance emerged from Mason's Duel Disk calling, "Ah finally! A match!"
Mason nodded nervously.
"Be careful Haru." Dawn told her boyfriend.
He nodded calmly.
"Good luck Mason." Haru smiled.
Mason nodded a bit. Bonnie smiled hugging her brother, "Be careful Macy."
Mason nodded as they walked to the field as it turned to a tomb.

"No I'm not. One of the Incident's Victims doesn't use Cyberse-Type monsters." Ryoken answered.
Yusaku simply nodded.
"What do you think that was all about?" Yuya asked quietly.
"Probably what happened last night." Celina answered as they turned back to the duel.
"Now I play it's ability... By paying 500 points I can summon another Gyrus..." Mason answered glowing. (Mason: 3500)

Mason nodded hearing that as he looked his hand. "As I control a Gyrus Link... I can summon Gyrus Rakanoth from my hand by paying 500 points."
(Mason: 3000)
A digital fiend with blades as hands appeared.

ATK: 1200
DEF: 1900
If you control a "Gyrus" Link Monster you can pay 500 Life Points to Special Summon this card (From your hand) in Defense Position in the zone that mosnter is pointing too.
'Ok, maybe I underestimated him a little bit.' Haru thought seeing that.
"Since it's uh..." Mason trailed off wondering how to explain it.
Face-palming a bit Lance explained, "Since Mephisto is pointing at Gyrus Rakanoth it gains 1000 attack points!"
Gyrus Mephisto: (ATK: 300 + 1000 = 1300)
"Alright." Haru nodded. "Though it's ok, we're just having fun so take your time."
Mason nodded before saying, "I... Set a card. Your turn."
Haru 1st Turn:
"Ok, lets see here... ok got it. I'll start things off by setting four cards facedown." Haru grinned.
Mason, and Lance raised their eyebrows at the set cards.
"That's it." Haru mentioned calmly.

"Yeah, you'd do amazing Moki." Kelly smiled happily.
"Gyrus Rage?" Haru inquired.
"Yeah Forbidden Arts will bring Slifer down." Mokuba grinned.
"Whenever Mason here pays Life Points for a Gyrus he can inflict 500 big ones to ya!" Lance grinned.
"We'll see Mokuba, after all we may just have a match in this tournament." Yugi pointed out.
"That's going to be annoying." Haru admitted.
"Well now I activate... Uh Gyrus Glitch." Mason told him.
Gyrus Glitch

(Haru: 3500)
Mason looked to see which one to revive.
"Come out Gyrus Infernalfiend." Mason said as the monster reappeared.
"Alright." Haru nodded.
"Now Mason do what you do!" Lance grinned.
Mason said, "Gyrus Mephisto attack him directly!"

"Huh?" Mason asked frightened.
"A spell at a time like this?" Lance asked surprised.
"This spell destroys any spell or trap on the field that I want, including one of my own and then I can set an Artifact Monster to my spell and trap zone." Haru explained. "For example, I can destroy Artifact Vajra which triggers Vajra's ability to summon itself, then since Vajra was summoned during your turn all my spell and traps are destroyed and since there were two other Artifacts they're summoned too.

"...Mason?" Lance asked.
"Y-yes?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU CANCEL IT WITH INFERNALFIEND'S ABILITY!?"
"Ah sorry I forgot!"
"Hey, don't shout at him." Haru stated. "He made a mistake, big deal."
Lance only crossed his arms turning away.
"Poor kid." Terri said sympathy in her voice.
The crowd all started booing Lance.
"Hey you shouldn't be blaming at me!" Lance yelled defiantly. "Oh screw this!"
He retreated to Mason's Duel Disk.
"Tell me when the crowd stops." He told Mason, and Bonnie.
"You deserve it." Kelly told him. "This isn't some kind of life or death battle its a chance to meet people and maybe have some enjoyable matches. If he makes a mistake it doesn't hurt anybody and it helps him grow."
"It can't be helped." Bonnie sighed. "Lance always do things like this. It's just the way he is."
"Hopefully that changes." Lilly mentioned.
"Anything else Mason?" Haru inquired with a kind smile. "It's still your turn."
Mason a bit shaken nodded before saying, "I end my turn."

Haru drew his card before frowning. "Are you not having fun?"
"I'm trying to." Mason answered. "I just need help."
"Well we can all help you." Haru offered. "Dawn and her whole family, Jarrod and Mir, Julie and Rocky, everybody."

"Ok... Artifact Labrys will attack." Haru mentioned.
The Artifact charged as Mason grabbed an Action card seeing it was Damage Draw as the monster was destroyed. (Mason: 0500)
"You ok?" Haru asked him.
"Yeah." Mason nodded.
"Well, I'm out of attacks so I'll end with one more set card." Haru mentioned.
Mason: 0500

The three flew to the up, down, and left markers.
"Link 3 at this point, not bad at all." Haru smiled.
"Circuit combined! Link Summon! Emerge Link 3! Gyrus Satan!"

"And now Gyrus Satan's ability activates." Mason explained before saying. "For every monster it points too Gyrus Satan's attack points are reduced by 300."
Gyrus Satan: (ATK: 1000 - 300 = 700)
"What kind of strategy is Mason trying?" Nico Smiley asked.
"Now here's something you should be aware of Haru." Mason told him. "Gyrus Satan's true power comes in when my Life Points are less then 1000."
"Like they are now." Haru realized.
"So now when Gyrus Satan battles a stronger monster it can't be destroyed by battle once a turn. And you take the damage instead, and it's treated as Effect Damage." Mason revealed.
"Wait, but that would mean..." Haru started before his eyes widened.
Mason smiled, "Haru... thanks."
"Anytime." Haru smiled.
Mason nodded before silently telling Gyrus Satan to attack Artifact Durendal. The monster nodded before attacking.
Mason: 0500
Haru: 0000
Mason wins the duel!
"And with that done Mason wins the round!" Nico Smiley called.
Lance suddenly emerged, and called "Ah yeah you done it little guy! I never once doubted ya!"
Haru glared at him before walking over. "Come on, your big sister must be proud of you."
Mason nodded as they walked. As they did the faces appeared yet again while Dawn and the others smiled.
"That was a great match." Terri smiled.
Mason nodded as Bonnie smiled hugging her brother, "Nice duel Macy."
He hugged her back as Lance slithered entering Bonnie's Duel Disk. Suddenly Celina chuckled. "Well, I guess we would have to duel eventually."
"You can say that again." Zuzu smiled.
"Well, may the best duelist win." Celina smiled as they walked up to the arena.
"Wait Zuzu, and Celina are next?" Yuya asked.
"Looks like it." Yuri smiled. "This should be a good match-up."
"What duel is it?" Yuto asked.
They looked before Lulu smiled. "It's going to be a Speed Duel."
"Well if they use Pendulum they can only use 1 Spell or Trap Card Zone." Casey told them.
"Yeah, then again both of them can work around that." Yuri pointed out. "This is going to be a Fusion vs Fusion battle."
The two got on their Dueling Rides ready to start.
"Good luck Zuzu." Celina smiled.
"You too Celina." Zuzu smiled.
"Duel!" they called together.
Meanwhile at the hospital...
Yugo, and Alex arrived as she asked "Where is she?"
A doctor noticed them. "Who are you looking for?"
"We're looking for Rin." Yugo answered.
The doctor looked at them before nodding. "Come with me."
They nodded as they followed him. He led them to a room where Rin was lying in a hospital bed.
"Mommy!" Alex cried running over.
Rin turned to her and smiled. "Hi baby girl, sorry I missed your match."
"Never mind me. Are you okay?" Alex asked with really worried eyes.
"I'll be fine, something scared Bruno and he started kicking a lot. He's calmed down now and everything's ok." Rin answered hugging her.
Alex hugged her back as she started crying tears of joy. Rin just held her only for the doctor to tap Yugo on the shoulder. "Can you come with me for a few minutes?"
Yugo turned to him before nodding as they walked out closing the door.
"Your wife's condition... she's fine for now but do you know what it was that frightened your son?" the doctor inquired.
"Might've been the Azure Nightmare we seen at the tournament." Yugo answered.
"I see, well I would recommend trying to avoid encountering anything similar to that because if Bruno were to get that stressed and this were to happen again it could cause more permanent damage to both of them." the doctor warned him.
"Permanent damage?" Yugo asked alarmed.
"Yes, damage to Rin's lungs and heart. Bruno was kicking near those organs and while it didn't do any damage this time she may not be as lucky the next." the doctor explained. "They're perfectly fine for now but you need to be aware of the possibility."
Yugo nodded, "Yeah I understand. And she's still in seven months."
"Keep an eye on her and if she expresses any pain bring her back in." the doctor mentioned. "She's in good health and it seems Bruno's calmed down."
"Anything else I should be warned about?" Yugo asked her.
"Not anything serious. Just keep an eye on her." the doctor told him before walking off.
Yugo looked on before walking back in. He sees Alex was lying beside her mother. Her tears have stopped but is still hugging Rin.
Rin was holding her only to turn to Yugo. "Did they say I can go back to watch our friends and you two in the tournament?"
"She told me to avoid anything like her monster." Yugo said emphasizing on 'her monster' so he wouldn't scare Bruno. "And that if your in that amount of pain again we have to get you back here fast. Another panic like this would deal lot of damage to you, and Bruno."
Rin looked down before nodding. "Ok."
Yugo patted her hand as Alex looked up before kissing Rin's forehead. Rin smiled back. "Come on, lets head back."
Alex looked worried, "Do you need anything before we leave? Like a bit of rest, some water, or maybe some-"
"Alex I'm ok." Rin laughed. "I don't need anything other than to get to support the two people I love most in the world. Well, soon to be two of the three people I love most."
Alex nodded as she held Rin's hand. With that the three of them walked out of the hospital and back towards the arena.
Ulrich362: Well... that's kind of good?
bopdog111: Well Rin's fine but can Bruno try to stay clam?
Ultich362: Hopefully. Though with Alison eliminated there's almost no way Azure Nightmare will be showing up again in the tournament.
bopdog111: Yeah that's right.
Ulrich362: Well, next up will be Zuzu dueling Celina so that's sure to be an interesting match.
bopdog111: Yeah. Nearly all the Akabas are eliminated, and what remained of them is Zarc.
Ulrich362: Very true. Well, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
