bopdog111: Before we start me, and Ulrich noticed a mistake.

Ulrich362: A small one, but one we wanted to correct.

bopdog111: And I done that as planned.

Ulrich362: Though with that established, we have a lunch break along with some other events taking place during the tournament.

bopdog111: And will give us time to see what Emma is up too.

Ulrich362: Exactly, she lost for a reason after all. Enjoy the chapter.

"Are you going to be ok?" Ace asked Mason.

"Yeah. I never exactly dueled Bonnie before." Mason admitted.

Ace nodded in understanding. "I'm going to root for you."

Mason turned to him, and smiled.

"You know Mason between you, and Bonnie when it comes to favorites I personally pick you as favorite then her." Lance told him. "Not to offend her, and she is tough but your more kinder then her. And more polite."

"Mr. Lance, please don't yell at him." Ace requested. "This is supposed to be fun, and it's ok to make mistakes when you have friends with you."

"I'm just ill-tempered that's all!" Lance defended.

"Ok." Ace nodded before closing his eyes. "Um... is there a Gyrus Luci... that person? Sorry, I can't remember how to say it."

"Huh?/Huh?" Mason, and Lance asked confused.

"Miss Bonnie, are there any other names for Gyrus Satan?" Ace asked her.

"Huh? Well there's Lucifer, and Diablo. Why?" Bonnie asked who was across the table from him.

Ace smiled. "Gyrus Diablo, a Link 5 monster that restores all of Mason's life points and deals the same damage to his opponent, and if it points to a Gyrus Link Monster that points to it he can deal 500 more damage."

Lance, Mason, and Bonnie blinked staring at him in disbelief.

"...Your too smart for your age." Lance remarked.

Ace blushed heavily at that. "I want to make my best friend a present, and making up Link cards is all I can do right now."

Mason told him, "Ace... I think from spending time with you... The memories I had from the Lost Incident are starting to go."

Ace smiled hearing that. Mason hugged him, and said "Thanks."

Ace hugged him back. "You're welcome."

At another table Dawn just smiled. Haru smiled, "Looks like your brother is doing well with Mason."

"Yeah." Dawn nodded only to suddenly frown.

"Dawn?" Haru asked noticing.

"Who am I supposed to cheer for?" Dawn asked. "Almost everybody left is one of my friends or a member of my family."

"Yeah that is hard to do." Haru agreed. "Their's always an option you can cheer for them both."

"I guess... Haru, can I tell you something?" Dawn asked quietly.

"Yeah?" Haru asked.

"Spencer... the one who beat Mir, his cards kind of scare me." Dawn admitted. "I know I shouldn't be scared of cards but... I am."

"The Fallen Cards?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, I don't know why but they just scare me a lot." Dawn admitted.

"Why not we ask him where he got em?" Haru suggested.

"Ok." Dawn nodded as the two of them walked over to him. "Excuse me, Spencer?"

Said boy who was eating a almond grape salad looked over. "Hm?"

"We were just a little curious about where you got your cards." Haru mentioned.

"The Fallen?" Spencer asked them.

"Yeah." Dawn nodded.

"...I made them myself." Spencer answered. "Though old sightings of fossils buried here discovered by my parents."

"Oh, that's pretty cool." Haru smiled. "Well, good luck in the rest of the tournament."

"Well just to say the Fallen isn't the only Deck I have. You'll see the others once we get to that point." Spencer advised them.

"Looking forward to that." Haru smiled before walking back with Dawn.

Spencer watched on before he pulled a card which is a Fallen Fusion called, Skolas, Kell of the Fallen. 'Hmm... Wonder what next...'

"Guess it might be the Fossils that what scare you." Haru told his girlfriend.

"Maybe." Dawn admitted. "It's just... never mind I'm probably just being paranoid because of what my big brothers and sisters told us."

"Gotcha." Haru nodded. "Also have you seen Casey? He wasn't with us ever since they announced a Lunch Break."

"Might be talking to his mommy." Dawn guessed.

A few tables down were Casey, Riley, and Karen and Casey made a huge request that caught Akiza off-guard.

"Wait what?" Akiza asked in shock. "Are you serious?"

"Yes. If you help me with using a Deck that are Plants, and using my own copies of the Dragons you, and the Signers used I might be able to harness my power without using my PSY-Frame Deck." Casey answered.

"That... I mean maybe I..." Akiza started before pausing. "What do you know about the Aroma cards?"

"Aroma?" Casey asked confused.

"Do you think that kind of deck would work?" Akiza asked.

"Well as long as it can help me harness my energy I'm game." Casey answered.

"Well we won't know that unless you try it." Akiza pointed out. "We can at least look into getting a usable deck though."

Casey nodded at this. Unknown to everyone however, at that exact moment someone had snuck into the Leo Corporation and was currently working on hacking into the main computer.

"Let's see." The person typed in, and founded a file broadcasting of the Dimension War.

"Please enter security passcode." stated a robotic voice.

"Passcode huh? Nothing simplier then that." The person grinned typing in to hack.

"Password accepted, displaying all information related to Project Revival Zero and Hive Invasion." the robotic voice stated as countless files and folders appeared on the screen.

"This seems like a lot of things." The person said before starting to check.

The first folder was labeled "The incident/His possession."

Looking curious the person opened it. Inside was a detailed account of Zarc's dueling career including his relationship with the crowd, his opponents, and most importantly his dragons before going into intense detail about one particular duel, and the accident that changed everything.

"Harmed his opponent by accident. So he went to depression?" The person asked before seeing something, "Wait a sec what's this?"

Intrigued, the person clicked on it. It shows of where Ray, and Dawn battles Zarc who was possessed by Sardon, and we're eventually split apart by four Special Cards.

"That... so Zarc, Ray, and their daughter Dawn died years ago." the person realized. "Then... who are we interacting with now?"

She continued reading reaching the Lancer files. They detailed the dueling skills and some information about each of the Lancers. It was then she encountered files of Mir of an invasion that was lead by her sometime before the Lancers were formed.

"I had a feeling you would be in here." stated a male voice.

Not surprised the person turned.

"Emma, what do you think you're doing?" Akira inquired. "I'd like to keep this job if you don't mind."

The person who was Emma answered, "I have questions about this Revival Arc Zero so I decided to look into it."

"I can see that." Akira pointed out. "I also assume you've copied all of the information into your Duel Disc already?"

"I was just looking into it while it was down loading." Emma answered.

Akira just sighed in annoyance before walking up only to pause. "Z-Arc, Ray-A, and Dawn-A? Files on Zarc's family?"

"I don't get it either. It said they were split apart years ago which means they died." Emma answered. "What exactly are we interacting with?"

"I'm not sure." Akira admitted before frowning. "Let me know if you learn anything significant."

Emma nodded.


Back with the others...

Rin, Alex, and Yugo were talking to each other.

"Mommy, do you think Bruno will like me?" Alex asked.

"Of course he does." Rin smiled.

Alex smiled. "I can't wait to hold him and teach him everything."

"Us too baby girl." Yugo smiled.

Alex smiled before closing her eyes in thought. "Ace should hold him too, just like we all got to hold him."

"Yeah he will soon." Rin nodded.

Alex nodded happily at that.

"How do you think Mason, and Bonnie's match will turn out?" Sarah asked Declan.

"From what I've seen, Mason has a significant advantage." Declan answered. "Though now that I think about it while I have a minute I should check in."

With that he took out a phone and dialed.

Sarah waited.

"I'm just calling to make sure she isn't causing you any trouble." Declan mentioned. "She did? I see... glad to hear it... Thank you, I really appreciate this you two. Right, thanks again."

With that he ended the call.

"What's going on?" Sarah asked her boyfriend.

"Apparently our daughter is being a very good girl for Grace and Gloria." Declan answered.

Sarah smiled at this.

"Wait you two have a daughter?" Ryoken asked surprised.

"We've been married close to two years, and yes." Declan nodded.

"I see." Ryoken nodded.

"Who is she?" Mason asked curious.

"Amanda." Sarah smiled. "Amanda Akaba."

Ace nodded smiling remembering her.

Sarah smiled seeing that.

"No offense to you Bonnie, but I have to give Mason the advantage in your duel." Declan told her.

"Oh I have improve my deck to focus less on paying." Bonnie told him.

"Yeah I went a bit overboard on the Beatdown part of the Gyrus Cards." Lance admitted.

"I see, then I have no idea who's going to win." Declan noted.

"Mason is." Ace told him with a smile.

"He had an idea for a new card for me." Mason explained.

"I'm not surprised." Dawn smiled.

"Creativity is Ace's specialty." Ray smiled ruffling her son's head.

He blushed at that before smiling only to frown. "Mommy, how do I not be shy?"

"Being brave." Ray smiled.

Ace pouted. "That's hard though."

"We'll help you on it." Ray smiled.

"Thank you mommy." Ace smiled back.

Meanwhile at another table Yuri suddenly chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Lilly smiled.

"Well, I'm just thinking about something you said." Yuri smiled. "You said you were going to be an even stronger duelist than me, and we're both still in the tournament so you may get the chance to prove that."

Lilly smiled at this.

"Of course I won't make it easy for you to win." Yuri mentioned before hugging her. "But this time it'll be fun instead of upsetting."

"Yeah it will be fun." Lilly smiled hugging him back.

Celina smiled seeing that. Gale walked to Rin, and asked her "Rin? How does it feel over the months while your pregnant?"

"Honestly, kind of frustrating." Rin admitted. "Don't get me wrong, it'll be absolutely worth it once Bruno's here but not being able to do the things I love is frustrating."

"Well can you give me the good things about it?" Gale asked.

"Huh, why are you..." Rin started before her eyes widened. "Wait are you?"

Gale smiled nodding.

"Well I won't lie, it's a lot more bad than good." Rin told her.

Gale looked confused.

"Mommy's been hurting a lot." Alex explained.

"I get that." Gale nodded. "I just thought that the goods things would be feeling him kicking harmless, and feeling like you carrying a joy of creation itself."

"Well that's definitely true." Rin smiled.

Gale smiled at this. Alex giggled.

"Ah your just a great girl Alex. I wished me, and you met a bit differently." Yugo smiled rubbing her head.

"Huh?" Alex asked fearfully. "What do you mean daddy?"

"I nearly ran you over." Yugo pointed out.

"Oh." Alex said. "I thought you didn't want to meet me."

"Nah. I just meant I wish I haven't tried to run you over." Yugo clarified.

"But... how else would we have met?" Alex asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Yugo admitted.

"Well, the point is you two met." Rin told them.

"And I introduced you to her." Yugo smiled.

"I remember, it was one of the best days of my life." Rin smiled.

"Our best days." Yugo grinned.

Rin smiled. "You're right."

Alex smiled as she hugged them both. They both hugged her back only for Alex to feel another small kick. Alex smiled placing a hand on Rin's stomach.

"I think Bruno wants to meet you Alex." Rin smiled.

Alex smiled hearing that. Yugo smiled too before closing his eyes. "Our lives are perfect."

"I wouldn't want this to change." Alex smiled.

"Well it'll change soon, when Bruno's born." Rin reminded her.

"It'll be even more perfect." Alex smiled.

Terri giggled at that from another table.

"Our lives are perfect too." Hart smiled.

"Yeah, they really are." Yuri smiled.

"What time is it?" Yuya asked.

"The second round should be starting in another ten minutes." Yuto answered.

"Hey where's Casey?" Kelly asked noticing their friend isn't here along with Karen, Akiza, and Riley.

"They're talking about something." Declan answered.

"Is Casey alright?" Stacy asked. "I noticed he looked a bit sad when you, and Karen came back."

"That's up to him and his mother to tell you, not me." Declan answered.

Stacy nodded. At that moment Melissa and Nico walked up.

"Nico, Melissa." Yuya greeted.

"Yuya." Nico smiled.

"We're ready to start the second round if you all are." Melissa told them.

They all nodded at this.

Bonnie turned to her brother smiling, "Hope your ready Macy."

Mason nodded. Ace smiled. "Good luck Mason."

"Thanks Ace." Mason smiled.

With that they all walked back to the stadium. On the way Akiza, Karen, Casey, and Riley joined them with Casey holding a Deck with a smile. "Thanks for the teachings Akiza."

"You're welcome, I just hope it works for you." Akiza smiled.

Casey nodded at that.

"Alright duel fans, time for the first duel of the second round with Bonnie dueling her younger brother Mason." Nico Smiley announced.

Said two walked to the field as Melissa called, "By what we seen from these two they use the same archetype but have different playing styles! Mason uses cards for Burn Tactics while Bonnie uses her cards for Beatdown Methods!"

"This is certain to be an interesting match, and answer the question of which method is more effective." Nico Smiley stated. "So, are you two ready?"

The two nodded.

"Then let the first match of round two begin." Melissa announced.

"DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: Calm Before the Storm by Hollow Point Heroes)

Bonnie: 4000

Mason: 4000

Let the duel begin!


Mason asked, "Who goes first?"

"You can." Bonnie smiled.

Mason 1st Turn:

Mason nodded drawing.

"I first start off... By summoning Gyrus Istaku!" Mason called as a green Cyberse Demon appeared.

"This is going to be really interesting." Yuto mentioned.

DEF: 1000

When you control no monsters you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If summoned this way you can pay 500 Life Points to Special Summon 1 "Gyrus" Monster from your hand.


"A level five tuner that can be summoned without a sacrifice? That's cool." Alex smiled.

"When I don't control a monster I can summon Istaku." Mason explained.

"Oh yeah, where's Lance?" Dawn asked.

"Right here!" He emerged from Ace's Duel Disk. "Bonnie ordered me to stay at the little buddy's best friend's Duel Disk!"

"Huh?" Ace asked in surprise. "How did you get in my Duel Disc?"

"I just told you, Bonnie ordered me in here!" Lance reminded.

"I think he means how you got there without him noticing." Ray clarified.

"Ah Ignises can be pretty stealth, and sneaky... And a bit snarky I should add." Lance explained.

"Behave." Dawn threatened.

"Uh... Okay okay." Lance stammered a bit nervously holding his hands in surrender. 'Boy, and I thought Bonnie is the only lady that gives me the jeepers...'

"And now since I summoned Istaku by this method I can give up 500 points to summon a new Gyrus." Mason continued. (Mason: 3500) "And I summon to the field, Gyrus Infernalfiend."

The demon appeared hissing.

"Now I activate the Field Spell, Gyrus Inferno!" Mason called as they appeared in what looks like a Demonic Realm.


Gyrus Inferno

Field Spell Card

You can Link Summon a "Gyrus" Link Monster using 1 Link Monster you control with the same name as the material. During each of your End Phases: Gain 500 Life Points for each "Gyrus" Monster you control.


"Doesn't that help both of them?" Stacy asked.

"Yeah but this is Mason's specialty!" Lance grinned.

"Level 5 Istaku tunes level 3 Infernalfiend!" Mason called as the two flew up.

(LV: 5 + 3 = 8)

"He can Synchro Summon?" Ace asked in shock.

"Digital Blazes through the kingdom of the Viruses! Set to bloom with the contract of Gyrus! Synchro Summon! Level 8, Gyrus Azmodan!"

At that a digital spider demon that has a upper demonic body appeared with 2400 attack points.

"Well, that's rather impressive." Zarc noted.

"When Azmodan is Synchro Summoned I can summon a Gyrus from the graveyard except the Tuner used. Like Infernalfiend!" Mason called summoning the monster. "Next I activate the effect of Gyrus Inferno! Since a have I Gyrus Monster in the Extra Monster Zone that isn't a Link Monster I can inflict 1000 Points of damage!"

At that Azmodan fired a blast at Bonnie who took it. (Bonnie: 3000)

"A powerful start from Mason and his burn tactics." Melissa announced.

"I place 1 card down, and end my turn which means another effect of Gyrus Inferno activates! During each of my End Phases I gain 500 Life Points for each Gyrus Monster on the field." Mason explained as a aura enveloped him. (Mason: 4500)

"He's even stronger than I thought." Declan noted.

Bonnie 1st Turn:

"My turn draw!" Bonnie drew as she smiled, "I'll follow your lead Mason, and activate my own Field Spell. Gyrus Heaven!"

They then see Bonnie's field is where a angelic version of Gyrus Inferno appeared.

"Different Play-Styles though." Terri answered.

"And now I summon Gyrus Viking!" Bonnie called as the Viking appeared.

"Mason has a point advantage but I have a feeling it won't stay that way." Zarc noted.

"Now I activate Angel's ability! Once a turn I can increase his level by 1!" Bonnie called.

Angel: (LV: 3 + 1 = 4)

"Now I use Angel, and Viking to build the Overlay Network!" Bonnie called as the two monsters flew up.

"Xyz and Link... just like me." Ace whispered.

"Form from the angelic contract of the Virus rise to battle! Become the true Warrior! Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Gyrus Tyrael!"

A white robed digital angel holding a sword appeared.

(ORU: 2)

Ace stared at the monsters only to look down sadly.

"Ace?" Dawn asked noticing this.

"Everybody is so strong, and I'm not." Ace admitted sadly.

"Hey it's okay." Dawn smiled hugging him. "You are very strong. The way you cared for all of us, and created Link means your very strong. It was nothing but pure strength."

"But what if something bad happens? Like what happened to daddy before?" Ace asked her.

"I have a pretty good feeling something like Sardon won't happen." Dawn smiled.

Ace just looked down sadly.

"It's okay Ace." Dawn smiled.

Ace nodded but was still clearly upset. Dawn looked worried as they turned back.

"Since Angel was used for the Xyz Summon of a Gyrus Xyz Monster I can draw a card, and if it's a Gyrus I can summon it." Bonnie said drawing as she looked before saying, "I drew Gyrus Gladiator! Defense mode!"

The Gyrus appeared kneeling.


Gyrus Gladiator

"They're completely even." Celina noted.

"And now Mason I'll take a rule by your playbook." Bonnie grinned. "I play the effect of Gyrus Heaven! Tyrael gains 500 attack points for each Gyrus on my field!"

Tyrael hold his sword grunting. (ATK: 2500 + (500 * 2) = 3500)

"3500 points?" Yuya asked in surprise.

"I activate the ability of Tyrael! By using an Overlay Unit, I can add a Gyrus Monster to my hand!" Bonnie called as Tyrael took on Overlay Unit. "I add Gyrus Scout! And now Tyrael attack Azmodan!"

Tyrael charged as Azmodan readied itself before Tyrael slashed it destroying it. (Mason: 3400)

"I play my face-down! Gyrus Vengeance!" Mason called.


Gyrus Vengeance

Normal Trap Card

Activate only when a "Gyrus" Monster in the Extra Monster is destroyed: Special Summon it to 1 Main Monster Zone, and then inflict 500 damage to your opponent.


"This allows me to revive Azmodan, and deal 500 Points of damage." Mason said as Azmodan appeared knelling.

Bonnie grunted. (Bonnie: 2000)

"Except he forgot what Tyrael does." Lance pointed out.

"Since Tyrael destroys a monster I gain 1000 Life Points." Bonnie said as an aura started.

Mason then grinned goofily. "I was waiting for that."

"Huh?" Ace asked.

"Since your playing an effect I play Infernalfiend's ability! By paying 500 Points I can negate that effect, and deal you 500 points of damage!" Mason called as Infernalfiend sealed the effect while he fired a blast at Bonnie. (Mason: 2900) (Bonnie: 1500)

"Well, that... wait a second, Mason can win." Dawn realized.

"Very well I set two cards, and end." Bonnie smiled. "Now the last effect of Gyrus Heaven activates. Like Gyrus Inferno I gain 500 points for each Gyrus on my field."

She glowed. (Bonnie: 2500)

"Oh... never mind." Dawn admitted.


Mason: 2900

Bonnie: 2500

When you control 2 or more "Gyrus" Monsters you can Special Summon this card. Once per turn: Pay 500 Life Points to inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each "Gyrus" monster you control.


That's when the crowd started cheering for both of them.

"Oh just listen to the crowd!" Nico announced.

Ace smiled hearing that.

"Alright now I activate Demon's ability!" Mason called. "Once a turn by paying 500 points I can deal you 400 points of damage for each Gyrus on my field!"

(Mason: 1900)

The demon concentrated as Spawn, itself, Azmodan, and Infernalfiend glowed.

"She can stop him can't she?" Alex asked.

"Even if she tried Infernalfiend will get in the way." Yuto answered.

The attack launched as Bonnie took the blast. (Bonnie: 0900)

"I play my face-down card! Damage Vaccine Ω MAX!" Bonnie called. "When I take damage by an effect or by battle I regain that many Life Points!"


Damage Vaccine Ω MAX

Normal Trap Card

When you take damage by battle or by a card effect: Gain Life Points equal to the damage you took.


"Hey why would she do that when it won't work?" Ai asked confused.

"Um... she forgot?" Ace guessed.

"Infernalfiend's ability!" Mason called as Infernalfield stopped the trap. (Bonnie: 0400)

'Good he used up the effect...' Bonnie thought with a grin.

"It's over, Mason has his field spell." Yugo mentioned.

"But Azmodan isn't in the Extra Monster Zone so he can't use it." Alex told him.

"Oh yeah, right." Yugo remembered.

"Appear the Circuit in the Inferno!" Mason called as the Circuit appeared. "The summoning conditions are at least 2 "Gyrus" Monsters! I set Azmodan, Spawn, and Infernalfiend in the Link Markers!"

The three flew up to the Right, Left, and Down markers.

"Circuit combined! Link Summon! Link 3, Gyus Belial!"

Once per turn, if this card was Link Summoned using "Gyrus Belial" as a Link Material: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls, take control of it until the end phase.


"Is that the finishing move?" Melissa asked.

"Gyrus Inferno doesn't allow me to use it's effect when it's a Gyrus Link Monster in the Extra Monster zone so I can't use it's effect. However when Belial is Link Summoned I can deal damage equal to half the attack points of a monster you control! My target is Tyrael!" Mason called as the blast charged.

Bonnie grinned, "I play my face-down! Rainbow Life!"


Rainbow Life

Normal Trap Card

Discard 1 card. Until the end of this turn, whenever you would take damage you gain that amount of Life Points instead.


"That's the worst card for him to be up against." Yuri frowned. "It's over."

secs ago"I see that's what she was waiting for." Yusaku said. "She was waiting for Infernalfiend to use up it's ability that way she can use that card without anything in the way."

Bonnie glowed. (Bonnie: 1650)

Mason grunted, "Belial attack Gladiator!"

Belial charged as Gladiator shattered.

"I end my turn with a face-down." Mason ended as Gyrus Inferno activates. (Mason: 2900)

Bonnie 2nd Turn:

"My turn!" Bonnie called drawing. "And now I pay the spell card, Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw 2 cards!"


Pot of Greed

She drew twice before saying, "And now I play Tyrael's ability! To add a second Gyrus Viking to my hand!" (ORU: 1 - 0)

She added the card.

"And now I summon said Viking!" The Viking appeared. "And with his ability I summon a second Gladiator in my hand by paying 500 points!"

(Bonnie: 1150)

The Gladiator appeared.

"Now appear the Circuit between the Nexus!" Bonnie called as the Circuit appeared.

"What now?" Terri asked.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are at least 2 "Gyrus" monsters! I set Tyrael, Viking, and Gladiator in the Link Markers!" Bonnie called as the three entered the Link Markers. "Circuit combined! Link Summon! Link 3! Gyrus Commander!"

Commander: (ATK: 1700 + 500 = 2200)

"Attack Gyrus Demon!" Bonnie called as Commander attacked destroying Demon. (Mason: 1800)

"Just beat the kid already." called someone from the audience.

Bonnie glared. "Don't tell me to beat my brother. It sounds like you want me to beat him up. Besides Gyus Union is the only card in my hand so that's all I can do which means Gyrus Commander's effect ends as it's not pointing at a monster, along with Gyrus Union."

Gyrus Commander: (ATK: 2200 - 500 - 400 = 1300)

Bonnie glowed by Gyrus Heaven. (Bonnie: 1650)

"I end my turn." Bonnie ended.


Mason: 1800

Bonnie: 1650


Mason 3rd Turn:

Mason drew as he thought, 'Okay 1 shot. I hope I can use this right...'

"They're right, is she has cards to counter burn damage Mason can't win. Her more aggressive strategy gives Bonnie the advantage." Zane stated.

Mason then smiled, "You played a good game Bonnie but this ends here."

Bonnie raised an eyebrow confused.

"Let me show ya! Appear the Circuit in the Inferno!" Mason called as this time a black magic circle appeared except the usual Circuit.

"What?" Sora asked in confusion.

"That's not right." Ace argued.

"Ah this is something new." Lance grinned.

"This is Link Summoning's new potential!" Mason called as Belial flew to the portal as it glowed. "Demonic Virus, awaken the true power of the Lord of Lies with the power of purification! Reincarnation Link Summon!"

At that a green portal as what appeared was Belial. "Revive once more the Lord of Lies, Gyrus Belial!"

Then Belial roared with it's 2300 attack points.

Ace stared in awe at what Mason did before looking down.

Dawn hugged Ace as she glared at Lance.

"How did he do that?" Stacy asked off-guard.

"Belial's Summoning Conditions are at least 2 "Gyrus" Monsters." Terri pointed out.

"He made Link better. I'm useless." Ace answered sadly.

"Lance why did you do that!?" Dawn yelled which made him flinch.

"H-Hey hey I just thought it would be a useful technique!" Lance defended.

"I don't care! You made that without Ace's permission!" Dawn yelled.

"It's ok big sister, I'm no good anyway." Ace admitted.

"Yes you are Ace." Dawn told him. "I have no idea what Lance had done with Link but don't let this make you think your no good. You are good, and maybe you can make things like this along with Mason, and Bonnie."

Ace just shook his head as he started tearing up.

"Great see what you did Lance you made a little boy cry!" Dawn scolded at Lance who flinched before retreating back to Ace's Duel Disk.

"Stop it, he didn't do anything wrong." Ace said sadly.

"He took Link Summoning, and made something with it without your permission." Dawn told him.

"He made it better."

Dawn continued to hug him as her incarnations looked on at Ace sadly.

"Incredible, Mason is a dueling genius." Nico Smiley announced.

"Well Reincarnation Link Summoning brings out Belial's true power! When summoned like that I can take control of one monster on your field Bonnie!" Mason called as Gyrus Commander flew to his side shocking his sister.

"That... wow." Zuzu whispered.

"But I'm not ending it like this." Mason smiled. "I'm now about the show the true power of the Gyruses!"

"Huh?" Ace asked looking up unaware that his family could see his eyes were turning red.

"I activate the spell, Gyrus Mentaload!" Mason called as the card appeared.


Gyrus Mentaload

Normal Spell Card

Pay 1000 Life Points to target 1 DARK "Gyrus" Link Monster, and 1 LIGHT "Gyrus" Link Monster you control with the same Link Rating. This turn you can you can Link Summon 1 "Gyrus" Link Monster who's Link Rating is equal to those monster's by using the targeted monster's as Link Material.


"By paying 1000 Points it brings out the Gyrus' true potential!" Mason called. (Mason: 0800) "I take a Light Attribute Link Gyrus, and a Dark Attribute Link Gyrus, and use them for the Link Summon of a Gyrus Monster who's Link Rating is equal to the Link Rating of both Commander, and Belial!"

"Just how strong are they?" Alison asked.

"Oh I better get in there!" Lance called as he retreated emerging from Mason's Duel Disk calling, "Alright Mason show everyone the true potential!"

"Appear the Circuit of Twilight!/Appear the Circuit of Twilight!" Both of them called in Sync as the Circuit appeared. "Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least 2 "Gyrus" Monsters! We set Gyrus Commander, and Gyrus Belial in the Link Markers! Circuit combined!/Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least 2 "Gyrus" Monsters! We set Gyrus Commander, and Gyrus Belial in the Link Markers! Circuit combined!"

The two flew as they made as dark, and light rays entering the Up-Right, Bottom-Left, and Up-Left Markers.

"The Viruses of the Dark, and the Light join forces to make a Twilight Virus! Link Summon! Appear Link 3! Gyrus Sparda!/The Viruses of the Dark, and the Light join forces to make a Twilight Virus! Link Summon! Appear Link 3! Gyrus Sparda!"

At that a demonic Swordsman that looks human, and demonic at once appeared.

Link Arrow: Up-Right, Bottom-Left, Up-Left

2+ "Gyrus" Monsters
When this card is Link Summoned using "Gyrus Metaload" you can inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each "Gyrus" Card on the field. Your opponent cannot activate effects in response. This card's original ATK is equal to the ATK of the monsters used to Link Summon this card.


"A new attribute too?" Leo Akaba asked in shock. "Incredible."

The crowd looked on shocked at this.

Bonnie said shocked, "Macy... You just used the true power of the Gyrus Cards!"

Ace smiled despite still crying before walking over to Zarc and Ray. "Mommy, daddy? Here."

He was holding out his deck. The two looked shocked at this.

"I don't need one." Ace said. "I get scared and don't ever use it."

Zarc looked on before hugging Ace, "It's okay Ace. I can help give you some practice. Just like how I helped Dawn."

Ace just started crying quietly as he hugged Zarc back.

"Sparda's ability activates!" Mason called. "When Link Summoned from Gyrus Mentaload you can 500 points of damage for each Gyrus Card on the field! You can't play anything in response to this!"

"Ok... that could be a problem." Sora admitted.

"Yeah, a big problem." Mokuba agreed.

Sparda attacked Bonnie as their are three Gyrus Cards on the field. (Bonnie: 0150)

"And now Sparda's attack points are equal to the monsters used to summon him! Belial's is 2300, and Commander's is 1300 therefore he has 3600!"

Sparda's blade glowed as he got ready. (ATK: ? + 1300 + 2300 = 3600)

"OK... at least he can't do that against anyone except her." Alex said thoughtfully.

"Sparda attacks directly! Mason called as he smiled, "GG Bonnie."

Bonnie nodded back smiling as Sparda struck her.


Mason: 0800

Bonnie: 0000

Mason wins the duel!


"With that, this second sibling battle comes to an end with the victory of Mason." Nico Smiley announced as the crowd erupted into cheers.

Mason smiled looking around. 'The Memories of the Incident have faded with this... Yeah this really restored me!'

That was before he sees Ace was crying.

"Huh? Ace?" Mason asked shocked running over to him.

"You did it Mason." Ace smiled. "You did awesome."

"Are you alright? You look upset." Mason asked concerned.

Ace shook his head. "I'm ok. What about you?"

"Well with that all the memories I had of the Incident are now null, and void." Mason answered.

"That's good." Ace smiled before looking down. "But we have to make sure, and have lots more fun ok?"

"Are you sure your okay?" Mason asked worried.

Ace nodded. "I'm sure." 'I don't want to upset him.'

Mason nodded as he patted Ace's back. "Okay. If your sure." 'I know he's hiding it but I don't want to press it.'

"Well, I guess all we can do now is see who's next." Dawn mentioned.

As she said that the faces appeared again before fading to reveal Leo was up against Mokuba.
