bopdog111: Well now is a boyfriend match. Alex's boyfriend vs Kelly's boyfriend.

bopdog111: Gishki vs Morphtronic.
Ulrich362: Mokuba's Rituals give him the advantage but then again that might not be enough to win the duel. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS but we own the OCs!
"Well, you're good Mokuba but it's time you lose." Leo grinned.
Mokuba grinned back, "We don't know for certain Leo. These new rules don't do anything to me but they do to you."
"Not really." Leo smiled. "I only need one Extra Monster Zone."
Mokuba nodded as they walked in the arena.
"Let the match begin!" Nico Smiley announced.
"DUEL!"
The two declared.
(Dueling Theme: Sick of It (Nightcore) by Skillet)
Mokuba: 4000
Leo: 4000
Let the duel begin!
"You can have the first turn Mokuba." Leo smiled.

DEF: 500
When this card is Summoned: You can add 1 "Gishki" monster with 1000 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand, except "Gishki Abyss".
"Go Moki!" Kelly cheered.
"Not a bad start." Leo grinned.
"Well since Abyss is summoned I can add a Gishki that has less then 1000 defense points to my hand." Mokuba said as he added Gishki Emilia which is a Spirit Monster.
"Wait, did that say Spirit?" Leo asked nervously.
"Yeah it did." Mokuba answered. "But don't worry I won't use this one ya. And that's because I play the Ritual Spell, Gishki Aquamirror."
Gishki Aquamirror
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Gishki" Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from the field or your hand whose total Levels equal the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. You can shuffle this card from the Graveyard into the Deck to target 1 "Gishki" Ritual Monster in your Graveyard; return that target to your hand.
"It's not that. I... well I kind of dueled a ghost before." Leo revealed. "Though I'm not surprised you have a Ritual Spell already."
Well now I'll sacrifice Abyss, Gishki Vanity, and Emilia!" Mokuba called as the three flew up.
"Water Soul burst through the tidal waves of Physical Force, and emerge here! Ritual Summon! Level 8, Evigishki Soul Ogre!"
A gray ogre/fish hybrid appeared with gold armor, and has 2800 attack points.
Evigishki Soul Ogre

Leo stared at the monster in surprise. "That's a strong start."
"I place 2 card face-down, and that's all." Mokuba ended.
Leo 1st Turn:
"Ok, I don't have anywhere near as strong a start as you do but I do have something a little more interesting." Leo grinned. "Starting with the spell card Morphtronic Accelerator."
Morphtronic Accelerator
Normal Spell Card
Return 1 "Morphtronic" monster from your hand to the Deck. Destroy 1 card on the field, and draw 1 card.
"What's that?" Mokuba asked him.
"A spell that lets me shuffle Morphtronic Magnen Bar back into my deck, and then I can destroy one card and draw a new card from my deck." Leo answered. "So I'll destroy Evigishki Soul Ogre!"
The monster roared as it shattered.
"Well now I activate my face-down! Threatening Roar!" Mokuba called.
Threatening Roar
Normal Trap Card
Your opponent cannot declare an attack this turn.
"Good idea, but there's one tiny problem." Leo grinned. "I wasn't planning on attacking this turn anyway, I set three cards and a monster in defense mode to end my turn."
"That's it?" Alex asked blinking.
"Leo knows what he's doing, keep in mind that even though its been four years Leo's had more experience than Mokuba. That's going to make all the difference." Jack mentioned with a smile.
(A/N (Ulrich362): Keep in mind, until the Lancers arrived Mokuba had lost his desire to duel. It isn't as significant now but that is still a disadvantage he has against most of the people competing in the tournament.)
Mokuba: 4000
Leo: 4000
Mokuba 2nd Turn:
Mokuba drew as he said, "I activate the effect of Gishki Aquamirror in the graveyard! I add this card back to my Deck to add Evigishki Soul Ogre to my hand from the graveyard."
Mokuba added the monster as he shuffled the Ritual Spell.
"Alright." Leo nodded.
"Now I activate the Spell Card, Card of Demise. This allows me to draw until I hold 5 cards." Mokuba said before pausing. "Oh dang it maybe I should've played this first, and then Aquamirror's Effect."
Card of Demise
Normal Spell Card
Draw cards until you have 5 cards in your hand. During your 5th Standby Phase after activation, send all cards in your hand to the Graveyard.
"It's alright, mistakes happen. Believe me." Leo laughed.
Mokuba nodded as he drew four cards as he grinned, "Alright I activate the Spell Card, Bait Doll."
Bait Doll
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone; reveal that target, force its activation if it is a Trap Card, then negate its effect if the activation timing is incorrect, and if you do, destroy it. (If it is not a Trap Card, return it face-down.) When this card resolves, shuffle it into the Deck instead of sending it to the Graveyard.
"Oh crap." Leo frowned.
"I can pick a card in your spell or trap card zone, and if it's a Trap I can force it's activation, and if the timing of it is incorrect I can negate that card, and destroy it." Mokuba told him. "If it's not a trap it's reset face-down. And once Bait Doll resolves I can shuffle it to my Deck instead of sending it to the graveyard. I pick your middle card."
The card flipped over revealing itself to be a trap called Remake Puzzle before shattering.
"Whoa Leo would've ended Mokuba's battle phase with that." Alex remarked worried.
Mokuba then added, "Next up I summon Gishki Chain!"
The chain monster appeared.
Gishki Chain
Water Type
Level 4
Sea Serpent
ATK: 1800
DEF: 1000
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.
"Chain's ability activates! 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." Mokuba said looking at the top three just frowned seeing that.
Mokuba added Gishki Psychelone before saying, "Now I activate Gishki Photomirror!"
Gishki Photomirror
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Gishki" Ritual Monster. You must also pay Life Points equal to the Level of the Ritual Summoned monster x 500 (when this card resolves).
"Photomirror?" Alex asked. "What's that?"
"A new risky Ritual Spell. Instead of using Monsters, I can use 500 points for each level it has." Mokuba answered. "For Gishki Psychelone I pay 2000 points as it's level is 4!"
(Mokuba: 2000)
"Fiend Psychic of the Waters emerge here from your lair, and show your enemies your seductive beauty! Ritual Summon! Level 4, Gishki Psychelone!"
A fiend like fish appeared with 2150 attack points.

You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Gishki" Ritual Spell Card. Once per turn: You can declare 1 Monster Type and Attribute; look at 1 random card in your opponent's hand, and if it is a monster of the declared Type and Attribute, shuffle it into the Deck. Otherwise, return it to the hand.
"Wow, not bad." Leo smiled.
"And now I activate her ability! Once a turn I can declare a monster type, and attribute, and if any random card in your hand is the declared type, and attribute I can shuffle it back to your deck!" Mokuba called.
Leo's eyes widened in surprise. "Alright, pick something."
"Machine, and EARTH!" Mokuba called as Psychelone's Mirror flashed at Leo's hand revealing the card.
It was revealed to be the FIRE and Pyro Morphtronic Datatron.
"A miss. Knowledge for the future I guess." Mokuba shrugged.
"Yup, so anything else Mokuba?" Leo asked.
"Well now Phychelone attacks your face-down!" Mokuba called.
"Morphtronic Scopen." Leo frowned as it shattered.
"Now Gishki Chain attack directly!" Mokuba called as the 1800 points fish attacked.
Leo took the hit.
(Leo: 2200)
"That one hurt." Leo admitted.
"See Alex? I told ya my Moki is stronger." Kelly grinned.
"The duel's not over yet." Alex argued.
Mokuba noticed, and asked Leo "Leo are you aware of our girlfriends arguing about us?"
Leo nodded. "Yeah, then again we'd probably do the same thing."
Mokuba nodded as he looked at his hand. "Okay not much else then end my turn since Soul Ogre is the last card in my hand."
Leo 2nd Turn:
Leo drew his card and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Did he drew a bad card?" Casey asked.
"I don't know." Alex admitted.
"Mokuba, if I were to say I could win this turn by letting you summon Soul Ogre, would you believe me?" Leo asked.
Mokuba raised an eyebrow about that.
"I activate the spell Morphtronic Data Surge." Leo grinned.
Morphtronic Data Surge
Normal Spell Card
Destroy all cards on your opponent's field, and banish 1 "Morphtronic" Link Monster, and 1 Synchro Monster in your Extra Deck. If your opponent has a monster that is the same level as the banished Synchro Monster's they can Special Summon it ignoring summoning conditions. You can pay 2000 Life Points to switch the battle position of that monster but during your End Phase: Special Summon the banished Synchro Monster to your opponent's side of the field.
"This destroys every card on your field, but it also forces me to take one Morphtronic Link Monster, and one Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck and banish both of them, then if you have a monster that's the same level as my banished Synchro Monster you can summon it ignoring conditions."
"And Soul Ogre is level 8 so the Synchro Monster your banishing is Life Stream Dragon." Mokuba guessed as his two monsters shattered.
"Yup, so are you summoning him?" Leo asked.
Mokuba looked at Soul Ogre's Card before summoning it in defense mode. Suddenly Soul Ogre switched into attack mode as Leo's points dropped by 2000.
(Leo: 0200)
"Sorry, I said I was going to win and that's what I plan on doing since I can pay 2000 life points to pick Soul Ogre's battle position." Leo explained. "Though if I use that effect my Banished Synchro Monster is summoned to your field at the end of my turn."
"That means your points would be equal to mine. But Soul Ogre's points are 2800 so unless you have a monster that has double the amount you can't win." Mokuba told him.
"It's more than that, with Soul Ogre and Life Stream Dragon on your field I'll lose in one turn." Leo agreed. "Which is why I'll summon Morphtronic Datatron in attack mode."
Datatron appeared.
Morphtronic Datatron

"Level four Morphtronic Scopen tune with level three Morphtronic Datatron!" Leo called as Scopen became four green rings and Datatron became three stars.
(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)
"Docking strength with courage to protect the world's peace! Synchro Summon! Envoy of love and justice, Power Tool Dragon!"
His machine dragon appeared ready.

"Now to end things, Power Tool Dragon attack!" Leo called.
"Huh what are you doing?" Mokuba asked shocked.
"This, I play the trap Synchro Big Tornado!" Leo called.
Synchro Big Tornado
Normal Trap Card
Select 1 face-up Synchro Monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Your opponent's selected monster loses ATK equal to the DEF of your selected Synchro Monster.
Alex smiled as Kelly's jaw dropped.
"This trap lowers Soul Ogre's attack points by Power Tool Dragon's defense points." Leo explained.
Widening his eyes Mokuba turned to Soul Ogre who lost power. (ATK: 2800 - 2500 = 300)
"And the damage from this blow is 2000." Mokuba realized.
Leo nodded as Power Tool Dragon destroyed Soul Ogre.
Mokuba: 0000
Leo: 0200
Leo wins the duel!
"I only won because of your Ritual, that was a great match." Leo smiled.
Mokuba smiled as he nodded.
Kelly sighed, "Dang. Alright fine Alex you win."
Alex smiled before shaking her head. "Your Moki gave up half his points though, it wasn't really fair."
"Ah maybe we should get them to have a re-match." Kelly told her as their boyfriends walk back.
"Can't we just agree that we're all great duelists?" Mokuba requested.
"Yeah I guess your right Moki." Kelly chuckled.
"I'm good with that." Leo smiled.
"Man what you all good duelists?" Mason smiled.
"Something like that." Alex nodded. "You're really good too."
Mason blushed. Bonnie went to Ace, and asked "Ace answer me honestly. Are you sure your alright?"
Ace nodded.
"I saw you trying to give your Deck to your parents." Bonnie pointed out.
Ace just looked away. Mason looked worried as he asked Ace's family, "Is he okay?"
Ray hugged Ace as Dawn shook her head.
"What's going on?" Mason asked.
"Ace probably doesn't want to upset you, after all he thinks of you as his best friend." Dawn explained. "Except... he's really shy and upset about surrendering, the crowd definitely doesn't help and then there's what Lance did. Even the one thing he did that was special isn't anymore and he feels like he's not good at anything."
"One thing?" Bonnie asked.
"She meant Reincarnation Link Summoning. I sorta... Mixed it up without his permission." Lance answered emerging from Mason's Duel Disk.
Dawn glared at Lance angrily before sighing. "He just doesn't want to upset you Mason, after all if what you said is true knowing your friend was sad might... bring painful memories back or cause you to stop being happy."
Mason looked surprised before smiling, and asked Ace, "You have such a big heart Ace. It fits you."
"But... this is supposed to be fun, not sad." Ace said trying to wipe his eyes.
Mason hugged him, "It's okay to be sad, angry, afraid, shy, or happy. It just means that you care about people, and keeping them bottled in won't be good for you. I am sad that Lance did that but hey we can just always laugh about it, and then continue onward together. As partners or such."
Ace looked at Mason in shock before just hugging him back and crying. "I'm... sorry."
"It's okay." Mason said hugging him back. "Don't hold back. Let it all out."
"I'm an awful friend." Ace choked out.
"Don't say that." Mason smiled. "Your an awesome friend. Wanting to help everyone."
"But you had something really bad happen, and I'm just making you sad I'm not happy." Ace told him.
"Hey I'm over it now. And you want to know what else makes me sad? You getting sad." Mason told him. "So smile for me, and be happy okay? Because I'm happy when your happy."
Ace looked down. "I can't."
Mason got an idea, and started to tickle Ace. Ace started laughing before pushing him. "Stop it. Stop it."
"Hey it will be alright. I know that laughing made you happy." Mason smiled.
Ace shook his head. "Please stop. I... I don't want to be friends anymore. You should have nice friends, not mean selfish ones like me."
Dawn hugged him as Mason looked on as he turned to Bonnie who took his shoulder.
"Just give him time Mason." Bonnie told her brother.
"Ok, and the third duel has been decided." Nico announced suddenly.
They looked to see Ryoken was dueling Gore.
"Huh, well I guess I'll be avenging you Yuya." Ryoken noted.
Yuya nodded at this. With that they walked up to take their places.
"This is going to be a Master Duel." Melissa announced.
"I wonder how this one will go." Zarc mentioned thoughtfully.
"Okay your the next one I get to duel here." Gore grinned. "Hope your ready!"
Ryoken just glanced towards Ace without saying anything. Ace looked on at the duel.
'Ace...' Ryoken thought quietly before just turning to Gore. "After you."
"On it!" Gore grinned.
"DUEL!"

"When there are two Link Monsters in the Extra Monster Zones with the same Link Rating I can draw 2 cards, and reveal them." Ryoken explained drawing twice as he revealed them showing a monster called Triggering Wurm, and a spell called Link Protection. "Now I activate Thunder Ogre's ability!

"Once a turn while Thunder Ogre is in play the turn Player can Normal Summon in addition to their regular Normal Summon." Gore answered.
"Oh, alright." Yuya nodded.
"Manifest, the future circuit that lights up my path!" Ryoken called. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are at least two Effect Monsters! I set Link 3 Triple Burst Dragon, and Triggering Wurm in the Link Makers!"

Seeing it Ace looked down thoughtfully. "Mommy, do you have a piece of paper?"
Ray turned to him curious.
"I'm no good at a lot of stuff, but I want to do something for Mason." Ace explained.
Ray thought, 'Making a Link Monster I think.'
She handed him a sheet of paper. Ace smiled before sitting down and starting to write things down only to pause and nervously walk to Bonnie. "Excuse me, miss Bonnie?"
Bonnie looked over to him, "Yes Acy?"
Ace blushed at the name. "Um... can I see Gyrus Belial please? The one Mason used twice?"
Bonnie nodded as she asked, "Macy can Ace look at Gyrus Belial please?"
Mason nodded as he handed the card to Ace. Ace looked at it before nodding. 'Oh so that's how it works.' "Thanks."
With that he walked off.
"Since Triggering Wurm was used to Link Summon a Dark Attribute Link Monster I can summon it to a zone it points to!" Ryoken called as the monster appeared. "Topologic Bomber Dragon's ability activates! As a monster was Special Summoned to where a Link Monster points too all monsters in our Main Monster Zones are destroyed!"
"What?" Gore asked shocked not expecting that.
"Full overlap!" Ryoken called as Bomber Dragon's wings glowed.
"I play Twistcobra's ability! By tributing Riscorpio, Thunder Ogre gains it's attack points!" Gore quickly cried before all monsters but Bomber Dragon, and Thunder Ogre were destroyed.
Thunder Ogre: (ATK: 2200 + 2300 = 4500)
"That's not good." Dawn mentioned.
"When Triggering Wurm is destroyed by a Link Monster's effect I can draw a card." Ryoken said drawing.
"Well since monsters where Thunder Ogre points too are destroyed it's attack points go up by 400." Gore said as Thunder Ogre glowed. (ATK: 4500 + 400 = 4900) "And as Suprex, Riscorpio, and Twistcobra were sent to the graveyard I can add 3 Gouki Cards to my hand."
He added the cards as he grinned, "The fight's just getting started!"
"Did we miss anything?" Emma asked walking up.
They turned to see Emma, and Akira have arrived.
"We got to round 2, and this match is Ryoken vs Gore." Declan answered.
"Well, I would say Gore has the advantage." Emma smiled. "Then again that might be because I'm a fan of his."
"I activate the continuous spell, Link Protection!" Ryoken called.
Link Protection
Continuous Spell Card
Your monsters cannot attack, except Link Monsters. Once per turn: You can target 1 Link Monster you control; this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle, also neither player takes any battle damage from that battle. If it attacks an opponent's Link Monster, that opponent's monster is destroyed after damage calculation. If a Link Monster(s) you control is destroyed and sent to the GY: You can banish this card from the field and 1 of those Link Monsters; until the end of this turn, your opponent's monsters cannot attack unless your opponent controls at least as many Link Monsters as that banished monster's Link Rating.
"None of my other monsters except Link Monsters can attack, and if one of my Link Monsters battles it isn't destroyed, and we take no damage. Topologic Bomber Dragon attack Gouki Thunder Ogre! Ultimate Malicious Code!"
Bomber Dragon fired a blast at the Ogre who took it fighting back.
"And when the battle ends if the monster it battles is a Link Monster, Link Protection destroys it!" Ryoken grinned as Thunder Ogre exploded.
"Impressive." Akira noted.
"And then since it battles your monster Topologic Bomber Dragon deals you damage equal to the attack points of Thunder Ogre's original attack points!" Ryoken grinned. "Aiming Blast!"
Bomber Dragon fired a blast.
"I activate Gouki Octostrecth's effect in my hand! As your playing an effect that would deal me damage I can discard Octostretch to halve the damage!" Gore cried as the blast struck as he was pushed back a little. (Gore: 2900)
"Huh. Manage to avoid big damage. Okay I place 1 card face-down, and end my turn." Ryoken grinned ending his turn.
"I bet I can guess that card." Sora grinned.
"What card?" Yusaku asked.
"A trap that is deadly to Link Monsters." Dawn answered.
"A trap card that is deadly to Link Monsters?" Ai asked surprised.
Ryoken: 4000
Gore: 2900
Gore 2nd Turn:
"My turn draw!" Gore called drawing. "I activate Gouki Re-Match! Once a turn I can summon two Goukis from the graveyard in defense mode as long as their levels are different! Come back again Suprex, and Twistcobra!"
The two appeared.
"Appear my circuit!" Gore called as the Circuit appeared.
"Just watch." Sora told them both.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are two Gouki Monsters! I set Twistcobra, and Suprex in the Link Markers!" Gore called as the two flew up to the Up, and Bottom Arrows. "Circuit combined! Link Summon! Appear Link 2, Gouki Heel Ogre!"
At that a flaming Ogre appeared... Right to the top Link Arrow, Bomber Dragon is pointing at.

2 "Gouki" monsters
When a monster this card points to activates its effect (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, then you can Special Summon 1 "Gouki" Link Monster from your GY.
"Wait, why'd he do that?" Terri asked.
Ryoken narrowed his eyes saying, "When a monster is Special Summoned to where a Link Monster points to all monsters in our Main Monster Zones are destroyed."
"Exactly it's guaranteed to happen!" Gore grinned as Bomber Dragon's wings glowed.
"What are you up too?" Ryoken asked.
"You're about to find out!" Gore grinned before calling, "Gouki Heel Ogre's ability activates! Since it's pointing at Bomber Dragon when it plays it's ability it's negated, and destroyed!"
Surprised Ryoken asked, "What?"
Heel Ogre struck the ground with it's club releasing a flame wave that consumed, and destroyed Bomber Dragon as Ryoken grunted while Gore grinned, "I also used your monster's effect to my advantage!"
"Whoa." Yuya admitted. "He's amazing."
"And when that ability is used I can summon Thunder Ogre from the graveyard." Gore grinned as his other Link Monster appeared. "And since Suprex, and Twistcobra were sent to the graveyard I can add two Gouki Cards to my hand."
He added the cards before Ryoken smirked, "Not bad Gore but I activate Link Protection's final ability. By banishing both this card from my field, and Bomber Dragon from the graveyard you can't attack until you have Link Monsters equal to the Link Rating of Bomber Dragon's."
"That's four Link Monsters." Stacy realized.
"Clever then I just need two more!" Gore called accepting that challenge. "I summon Gouki Suprex!"
Another blue ogre appeared.
"As Suprex was summoned I can summon Gouki Riscorpio from my hand!" Gore called as the Scorpion Gouki appeared. "Now by discarding Gouki Moonsault, and targeting Thunder Ogre I can summon Gouki Headbatt while Thunder Ogre's attack points goes up by 800!"
The ogre appeared as Thunder Ogre glowed. (ATK: 2200 + 800 = 3000)

The three flew up entering the markers.
"Circuit combined! Link Summon! Link 3, Gouki the Great Ogre!"

Shout was destroyed as Jet Ogre popped out from the graveyard joining his other three comrades.
"Four Link Monsters at once." Nico Smiley announced.
"Now Gore is able to attack." Melissa added.
Sora just smiled hearing that.
"I don't like this. It looks too easy." Bonnie frowned at this.
Gore called, "Battle! Great Ogre attacks directly!"
His ace charged before Ryoken smirked, "You should be careful where you wish for Gore! I play my trap card!"
The card emitted a bright blinding light.
"Knew it." Sora smiled.
"The card that's lethal to Link Monsters." Dawn agreed.
It was shown.
"I activate the trap card, Mirror Force." Ryoken grinned. "All monsters you have in attack mode are destroyed!"
Mirror Force

At that the trap struck all four of Gore's monsters destroying them all at once shocking everyone except the group.
(New Dueling Theme: Defiance by Neverwake)
"The trap that's lethal to Link Monsters, it's Mirror Force." Mason realized.
"Now I get it!" Lance called. "Link Monsters can't go to defense mode so their defenseless to Mirror Force!"
"Exactly." Ray nodded.
Gore looked on before grunting, "Fine! I activate Gouki Ringtrainer's effect in my hand! While I control no monsters I can summon this mosnter from my hand!"

"It allows me to revive Great Ogre with 500 of it's attack points lost!" Gore called as Great Ogre appeared. (ATK: 2600 - 500 = 2100)
"Well at least most of his monsters are still destroyed." Dawn mentioned.
"While I control Great Ogre summoned this way Ringtrainer can't be destroyed by battle! Your turn now." Gore ended.

Mason looked shocked at this. "A Reincarnation Link Monster of Gyrus Diablo... This is incredible Ace."
Ace blushed. "It isn't real yet but... do you like it?"
"Nah I don't like it." Mason smiled. "I love it."
Ace smiled hearing that. "Uncle Declan, can we make two copies for Mason to use in the next round?"
Declan answered, "Of course."
Ace smiled. "Yay."
"Looks like your happy." Mason smiled.
"I'm helping my best friend in the whole world." Ace smiled.
"Yeah you are." Mason smiled.
"Uncle Declan and I need to go make the new cards for you." Ace smiled. "So you can wi..."
Ace suddenly looked down sadly.
"Ace?" Mason asked.
"I'm a bad brother and son." Ace frowned.
"No your not Ace." Dawn smiled hugging him. "Your the best brother I have."
"But I'm rooting for Mason instead of daddy or my big sisters and brothers." Ace said sadly.
"Hey we don't mind that at all. We don't care who you root for just as long as your happy." Dawn smiled. "Ain't that right Daddy?"
"Hey we don't mind that at all. We don't care who you root for just as long as your happy." Dawn smiled. "Ain't that right Daddy?"
Zarc smiled. "She's right."
"Ok." Ace nodded before taking Declan's hand so they could go print out the two cards.

Shelrokket Dragon: (ATK: 1100 + 300 - 2000 = 0/DEF: 2000 + 300 = 2300)
"I activate Booster Dragon's ability! Shelrokket Dragon gains 500 attack, and defense points!" Ryoken called before grinning, "Now I chain it with Shelrokket's ability!"
Yusei chuckled before turning to Yusaku. "You know, I'm glad things are better with you and everyone else but I'm starting to wish I could have seen you two duel."
Yusaku nodded in agreement.
"As it's being targeted by a Link Monster's effect Shelrokket destroys itself, along with a monster in the same column it's in, and if there are any monsters in the monster zone beside it those monsters are also destroyed!" Ryoken called.
Shelrokket turned to a bullet as it entered Booster Dragon's head before it fired the bullet at Great Ogre, and Trainer as they shattered while Gore asked shocked, "What!?"
Zarc just watched before shaking his head. "Well... I got lucky."
"Booster Dragon attacks directly!" Ryoken called as Booster Dragon slammed it's tail on Gore who grunted. (Gore: 1000)
"I'm... Still standing!" Gore declared.
"During my End Phase the effects of both Magnarokket, and Shelrokket activates!" Ryoken called. "I can summon two new rokkets to the field in defense mode from my Deck! Come forth Shelrokket, and Metalrokket!"

The Circuit appeared.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning conditions are two Gouki Monsters!" Gore called, "I set Moonsault, and Twistcobra in the Link Markers!"
The two flew up entering the arrows.
"Circuit combined! Link Summon!" Gore called, "Appear Link 2, Gouki the Jet Ogre!"

"When Twistcobra is sent to the graveyard I can add a Gouki card to my hand!" Gore called adding a card. "Now I summon Gouki Suprex!"

"Is this the start of a comeback?" Nico Smiley asked.
"Now I activate Jet Ogre's ability!" Gore called as Jet Ogre shattered. "By destroying itself all monsters the field switch to attack mode!"
Shelrokket, and Metalrokket changed mode.
"Now as Jet Ogre was sent to the graveyard all of my Goukis gain 500 attack points until the end phase!" Gore called as the ogres glowed.
Tagpartner: (ATK: 1700 + 500 = 2200)

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least 3 Gouki monsters! I set Link 2 Gouki jet Ogre, Suprex, and Tarpartner in the Link Markers!" Gore called as the three flew up to the Left, Right, Bottom-Left, and Bottom-Right Markers. "Circuit combined! Link Summon! Appear Link 4, Gouki the Giant Ogre!"

Giant Ogre: (ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000)
"And when Giant Ogre's attack points change it gains 1000 attack points until the end phase!" Gore revealed.
As he said this Giant Ogre bashed the ground as a sword emerged as he took hold of it.
Giant Ogre: (ATK: 4000 + 1000 = 5000)
"5000 attack points, not bad." Zane smirked.
"Battle! Giant Ogre attack Booster Dragon!" Gore called as Giant Ogre charged. "Ogre Sword!"
The Ogre slashed Booster Dragon destroying it, and causing great damage to Ryoken. (Ryoken: 0900)
"That's really bad." Lilly mentioned nervously.
Ryoken told Gore, "Ya got me."
"That was payback for earlier." Gore grinned.
Ryoken stated, "Well as Booster Dragon was destroyed it's special ability lets me revive a Dragon from the graveyard. Come back Triple Burst Dragon!"
The three turret dragon reappeared on the field.
"What do you think, can he turn this around?" Yuri inquired.
"I end my turn which means Giant Ogre, and Tagpartner's effect ends." Gore ended.
Giant Ogre: (ATK: 5000 - 1000 - 1000 = 3000)

"My turn draw!" Ryoken called drawing. "I activate Triple Burst Dragon's ability! By tributing it I can summon a Link 2 or Lower Monster from the graveyard along with a level 4 or lower Dragon from my hand! Emerge back Booster Dragon!"

"I wonder which one he's planning on using." Zarc mentioned
"When Hibernation Dragon is Special Summoned I can add a level 4 or lower Dark Dragon to my hand." Ryoken said adding the card. "And now I summon Magarokket Dragon!"
The blue bullet dragon appeared. (ATK: 1800 + 300 = 2100/DEF: 1200 + 300 = 1500)
"I activate Booster Dragon's ability! Magarokket gains 500 attack, and defense points!" Ryoken called before grinning, "And now I chain it with Magnarokket's ability! I destroy it to send 1 monster to the graveyard!"
Magarokket turned to a bullet as it entered Booster Dragon's gun aiming at Giant Ogre.
"Fire!" Ryoken called as Booster Dragon fired.
"Giant Ogre's ability! It can't be effected by monsters with equal or lower attack points!" Gore revealed as Giant Ogre bashed the blast away like a baseball bat.
"That's a really strong monster." Stacy whispered.
Ryoken grinned, "Then I won't hold back any longer. Manifest, the future circuit that lights up my path!"
The circuit appeared.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least three Effect Monsters! I set Link 2 Booster Dragon, Hibernation Dragon, and Shelrokket Dragon in the Link Markers!"
At that the three flew up to the Link Markers.

"This is the end, one of them is winning the duel soon." Sora admitted.
"Now Gore this is the end of the duel!" Ryoken grinned. "Borrelsword Dragon attacks Gouki the Giant Ogre!"
Borrelsword charged.
"Ogre Sword!" Gore called as both Giant Ogre, and Borrelsword clanged their blades together causing a huge shockwave to erupt.
"What happened?" Melissa asked while shielding her face from the shockwave.
"Borrelsword Dragon cannot be destroyed by battle once per turn!" Ryoken declared.
"Giant Ogre also isn't destroyed by battle either!" Gore countered. "Nor affected by monsters with equal or lower attack points!"
"I play Borrelsword Dragon's ability!" Ryoken declared. "By attacking Giant Ogre it gains half it's attack points!"
Borrelsword Dragon: (ATK: 3000 + 1500 = 4500)
"Then Giant Ogre's attack points are cut in half!"
Giant Ogre: (ATK: 3000 / 2 = 1500)
Then everyone didn't noticed something else happened to Giant Ogre. (ATK: 1500 + 1000 = 2500)
"It's over." Emma said calmly.
"Now I activate Borrelsword Dragon's ability! I switch Metalrokket Dragon to defense mode!" Ryoken called as he grinned, "Metalrokket's ability activates! It destroys itself, and all monsters in the same column it's in are also destroyed!"
Metalrokket turned to a bullet as it entered Borrelsword's gun barrel like body as it started to spin fast as Borrelsword opened it's mouth exposing a cannon in it.
"Zero Bullet Fire!" Ryoken declared as Borrelsword fired the blast as Gore cried out as smoke enveloped him, and his field.
"Is that the end?" Nico Smiley asked.
The smoke then cleared revealing Giant Ogre survived as Gore grinned.
"Huh? How did...?" Alex asked before they noticed Giant Ogre's attack points have changed.
Gore grinned, "When Giant Ogre's attack points change it gains 1000 attack points! And since it was higher then Metalrokket's attack points the effect was negated! Too bad!"
"Too bad for Gore." Zarc smiled.
Ryoken grinned, "Well done Gore however this is still the end."
At Gore's confused look Ryoken revealed, "When I use Zero Bullet Fire during my turn Borrelsword Dragon can attack one more time!"
"Wait what!?" Gore asked shocked knowing that means trouble for him.
"A second attack?" Skye asked in shock.
"This is the end!" Ryoken grinned before declaring, "Borrelsword Dragon attack Gouki the Giant Ogre, and end this duel! Electric Varrel Sword Slash!"
Borrelsword Dragon roared as it charged as Giant Ogre tried to defend itself as Borrelsword knocked it's sword away before slashing at Giant Ogre as it made a big explosion while Gore cried out landing on his back defeated.
Ryoken: 0900
Gore: 0000
Ryoken wins the duel!
"Another duel comes to an end and this time Ryoken shows that he more than deserves his spot in the third round." Nico Smiley announced.
Everyone stayed in shock before starting to cheer to Ryoken as he walked to Gore offering him a hand. Gore seeing this smiled taking his hand, "Ah I haven't faced a duelist like yourself."
"I feel the same way." Ryoken smiled.
With that they joined the others as the faces reappeared only for Sora to gasp and start to tremble in fear.
"Sora? What's wrong?" Lilly asked her boyfriend as she turned to look.
Round two match four, Sora vs Zane.
"The Kaiser?" Celina asked shocked.
"I don't stand a chance." Sora whispered fearfully.
Lilly took his hand before kissing him.
Sora kissed her back. "I'm about to die, well I had an ok life."
"Zane doesn't do anything like that anymore." Jaden reminded.
Sora turned to him. "Honest question to everyone except Zane, do any of you think I have even the tiniest chance of winning this?"
They think about it before they all said in sync, "Don't have a clue."
"I think so." Lilly told them.
"If she thinks so I think so too." Dawn smiled. "I defeated Zane four years ago."
Sora turned to them before closing his eyes. "Well... here goes nothing I guess."
With that he walked up to the arena.
bopdog111: This seems like a tough battle.
Ulrich362: Sora is definitely outclassed but then again he did well in the first round.
bopdog11: Oh I doubt he will be beaten easily.
Ulrich362: We'll have to wait and see then won't we?
bopdog111: Indeed. Ryoken, and Gore's match was their canon duel which is the first canon Duel we have included.
Ulrich362: Admittedly you can thank Bopdog for that. I knew one move of that duel and that would be Ryoken's use of Mirror Force.
bopdog111: Yeah like that isn't obvious. Also we like to talk to jasonl7976 about his review from chapter 15.
Ulrich362: Go ahead Bopdog.
bopdog111: Stop thinking we're giving 5Ds characters wins because they are our favorites. They got wins because they are skilled duelists. If you don't like it then don't read this.
Ulrich362: I will be be the first to admit 5ds characters are my favorite with Arc-V being a close second, but the simple fact is two things will happen as this story progresses. The first is more characters from every series will make appearances, and second is that those characters will begin utilizing more and more of the summoning mechanics. Your patience will be rewarded in time, this tournament is just the beginning of the fic.
