It was now nighttime, and everyone was outside enjoying looking at the starry night sky.

"It's really beautiful isn't it?" Sora asked.

"Yes it is Sora." Lilly smiled.

He smiled before turning to kiss her only to pause and stop before looking up again. Lilly noticed, and turned to him confused. "Weren't you about to kiss me?"

Sora didn't say anything.

"I think he was." Yuri mentioned reminding her that he and Celina were right behind them.

Lilly nodded as she flashed a pouting look to Yuri.

"Lilly." Yuri said simply. "No."

Alex was staring over at them as she said, "Daddy make Yuri allow it."

"How?" Yugo asked her. "I hate to say this baby girl but there's nothing I can do."

Alex pouted, "I want her to feel the love, and support of her special someone like how me, and everyone else do."

"I know baby girl and actually..." Yugo started before pausing. "I'll be right back."

With that he walked off.

"Where's he going?" Leo asked.

"No idea." Yuya shrugged.

Alex looked on before smiling pulling out the two cards she obtained in the Tournament. Marine Dragon, and Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste.

"Big sis, are you gonna win?" Ace asked her.

"I don't know Ace. I won the Friendship Cup during our journey but this is a bit different." Alex answered.

"Yeah, but you're super strong." Ace smiled. "I want you, and big sis Terri, and Mason to all win."

"That is if they manage to get past people like me first." Ryoken grinned to him.

"They can." Ace smiled.

"I don't know Ace. Ryoken was pretty very strong." Alex told him.

"I know, but I believe in you big sis." Ace told her.

Alex smiled hugging him. He hugged her back. A few minutes later Yugo came back.

"Daddy?" Alex asked seeing he came back.

"Hey Alex. Sorry about that." Yugo said before hugging her.

Alex hugged him back.

"Why did you step out?" Rin asked him.

"Wanted to ask somebody something, that's all." Yugo answered. "How's Bruno?"

"He's doing alright. Nothing bad so far." Rin smiled.

"That's good." Yugo smiled.

"Who was it you ask?" Yuki asked him.

"Nothing special, just a request." Yugo replied.

That was before noticed that Kelly have dragged Mokuba to some space for room before they begin dancing under the moonlight.

"Wow." Yuya chuckled.

"They look so great together, and like that." Stacy smiled.

Tate smiled. "Want to join them?"

"Yeah come on!" Stacy smiled pulling Tate with her.

"Let's do it Leo!" Alex smiled taking Leo's hand.

"Hart let's not let them have all the fun!" Terri smiled pilling Hart.

"Come on Sora let's dance!" Lilly grinned taking Sora with her as they joined Mokuba, and Kelly.

"Dawn, may I?" Haru asked offering her his hand.

Dawn smiled taking his hand, "Yes you can Haru."

With that they walked to join the dancing. Everyone looked on with smiles, (Or slight grins in Yusaku, Ryoken, Kolter, and Skye's case) as they see the kids dancing with their special someones.


The next morning...

"Okay everyone I hope your feeling rested for the forth day of the tournament!" Nico announced.

"It's time for the third round." Melissa smiled.

"And now everyone take a look on the screen for our third round match-ups!" Nico announced.

The first match was Terri vs Yuto. Terri smiled as she looked at her father.

"This should be interesting." Yuto smiled.

"Yeah it should." Terri smiled.

"Ready?" Yuto asked her.

"You don't have to ask me twice." Terri smiled as they walked to the field.

"What kind of match is this?" Yuto asked.

"Master Duel." Nico answered.

Yuto and Terri nodded.

"You can take the first move Terri." Yuto smiled.

Dark Rebellion roared at that. Yuto just stared at Drident before shaking his head. "Dark Rebellion attack Zoodiac Drident!"

"Ok, so which one are you going to do?" Yuto asked.

"I'll pick shuffle, and I'll be shuffling Break Sword to your Deck!" Terri called.

Yuto nodded returning the monster to his Extra Deck.


Terri: 4000

Yuto: 4500

Yuto stared at the monsters before closing his eyes. "Terri, do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Huh?" Terri asked confused.

"Are you holding Overlay Regen or is it one of your set cards?" Yuto asked her.

"No I'm not." Terri answered. "My face-down isn't one either."

As she said this she played Throughblade's ability discarding Zoodiac Katahoost before drawing.

'Well that buys me one turn at least.' Yuto thought hearing that.

"Okay Doom Chimera! Attack Yuto directly!" Terri called as her Dragon attacked Yuto.

"I activate my two traps, The Phantom Knights' of Lost Vambrace!" Yuto called as the two monsters appeared.


The Phantom Knights of Lost Vambrace

(This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.)


Doom Chimera Dragon: (ATK: 4000 - (600 * 2) = 2800)

Terri looked shocked as the attack was redirected.

(Yuto: 2300)

Terri grunted. "Throughblade attack!"

The 1600 point Beast-Warrior charged.

Yuto flinched from that attack

(Yuto: 1300)

"Whoa! Yuto managed to avoid defeat there!" Nico announced.

'Barely.' Yuto thought only to smile.

Terri looked at the only card in her hand which was Goblindbergh as she smiled, "Your move Yuto!"

Yuto 2nd Turn:

"Ok, I overlay my two Lost Vambraces." Yuto stated as they flew up to the Overlay Network. "Piercing through ten thousand warriors, the cursed spear of rebellion entombed in darkness, descend now! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 2! The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin!"

(ORU: 2)

'It's entirely in her hands now.' Yuto thought waiting to see what Terri would do.

'My face-down is Limitover Force which I can't use, Doom Chimera Dragon can't stop Javelin, and Throughblade can't do anything.' Terri thought. 'Which means I'll be taking damage.'

"I play Cursed Javelin's ability on Doom Chimera Dragon." Yuto stated.

The Dragon roared. (ATK: 4000 - 4000 = 0)

"Now Cursed Javelin attacks Doom Chimera Dragon!" Yuto declared.

The Knight charged slaying the Number Dragon. (Terri: 2400)

"That's all for now." Yuto finished.


Terro: 2400

Yuto: 1300

"Cursed Javelin's ability activates on Thoroughblade!" Yuto declared. (ORU: 1 - 0)

Throughblade: (ATK: 1600 - 1600 = 0)

The monster was destroyed. (Terri: 0800)

'Okay he used up both of those Overlay Units.' Terri thought.

'Sorry Terri, but it's over.' Yuto thought.

"I end my turn!" Terri called.

Yuto 3rd Turn:

"I activate a spell card, The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Launch!" Yuto declared. "I use it to rank up my Cursed Javelin!"


The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Lanuch

During your Standby Phase, if you control the Xyz Monster Special Summoned by this effect: You can target that Xyz Monster; attach this card from your Graveyard to that monster as Xyz Material.


The monster glowed as it flew up.

"Souls of knights who fell on the battlefield. Revive here and now, and become the light that breaks the darkness! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Appear, Rank 3, Phantom Knights Break Sword!" Yuto chanted. "Now, attack Terri's Goblindbergh."

Suddenly Doom Chimera Dragon appeared before flying up to the Overlay Network.

"Huh?" Yuto questioned in shock.

Terri grinned revealing her face-downs. Xyz Reborn, and Rank-Up-Magic Limitover Force. (Terri: 0400)

(This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.)


Yuto nodded in understanding.

(ORU: 2)

(ATK: 0 + (1000 * 2) = 2000)

"And due to the effect of Limitover Force his attack points multiply by how many Rank-Up-Magic Cards were played so far! I have played Devotion Force, you played Rank-Up-Magic Launch, and I just played Limitover Force! So that means his power multiplies by 3!"

Chaos Chimera Dragon roared at the power. (ATK: 2000 x 3 = 6000)

"What a overwhelming power boost!" Ai cried stunned.

"It's impressive, but Goblindbergh is still in attack mode." Yuto reminded her. "Break Sword end this duel."

The monster charged as Terri smiled, "At the very least I finally managed to summon Chaos Number 5 so that was what I wanted to do here."


Terri: 0000

Yuto: 1300

Yuto wins the duel!


Yuto walked over and hugged her. Terri hugged him back.

"She did a great job." Yugo smiled before grinning.

"Yeah. Sorry Terri didn't advance Ace." Alex told her little brother.

"It's ok, she did really good." Ace smiled as Terri and Yuto walked back.

"Alright duel fans, this next match was actually anonymously requested." Nico announced.

"Requested?" Yuya asked surprised. "Wait... Yugo did you?"

Yugo didn't say anything as the next two faces appeared, Sora dueling Yuri. Sora froze in horror at this before glaring at Yugo with all the anger he can muster. Yugo turned to him. "What?"

"Do you even know I only dueled Yuri only ONE freaken time, and that was an experience I don't want to repeat!?" Sora yelled.

"Too late now." Yuri smirked. "Shall we Sora?"

Sora froze as he nodded a bit. With that the two of them walked up to the arena. Sora, and Yuri got ready as Sora thought, 'Okay I gotta be careful.'

"This will be a Master Action Duel." Nico announced.

"And now... as Madolche Magileine is summoned I can add a Madolche monster from my Deck to my hand." Sora said adding Madolche Messengelato.

"Ah, interesting." Yuri noted. "Though Sora I was serious about you teaching Xyz Summoning once. the new school opens."

"I-I know that." Sora responded. "Well now appear the Circuit of Royal Treats!"

The circuit appeared.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are two Madolche monsters. I put Magileine and Messengalato in the Link Markers, Circuit Combine! Link Summon, Link 2! Madolche Fresh Sistart!" Sora chanted.

The two flew up entering the markers.

Then Sistart appeared giggling ready to fight. (ATK: 1500 + 500 = 2000)

If this card on the field would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can shuffle 1 "Madolche" monster from your GY into the Deck instead.


"Your Link Monster." Yuri noted calmly.

"And now... I play Hootcake's ability to banish Messengelato to summon a new Madolche to the field!" Sora called as the messenger vanished. "I summon Madolche Cruffssant!"

A little puppy with a croissant appeared yipping.

"Awww!" Kelly squealed. "So cute!"

"Not bad." Yuri noted.

Cruffssant: (ATK: 1500 + 500 = 2000/DEF: 1200 + 500 = 1700)

"And now... I play his ability to return Hootcake to my hand, and increase his attack points by 300, and his level by 1!" Sora called as Hootcake vanished.

Cruffssant: (ATK: 2000 + 300 = 2300/LV: 3 + 1 = 4)

"And now I re-summon Hootcake!" Sora called using his Normal Summon for Hootcake. "And I activate Star Changer to increase Hootcake's level by 1!"


Star Changer

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 face-up monster on the field and activate 1 of these effects;
● Increase that target's Level by 1.
● Reduce that target's Level by 1.


Hootcake: (LV: 3 + 1 = 4)

Yuri looked on before his eyes widened in surprise.

"Now I use Cruffssant, and Hootcake to build the Overlay Network!" Sora called as the two flew up. "That way I can Xyz Summon, Madolche Queen Tiaramisu!"

His Xyz appeared grinning in place winking. (ATK: 2200 + 500 = 2700/DEF: 2100 + 500 = 2600)


Madolche Queen Tiaramisu

(ORU: 2)

"Whoa." Terri said amazed.

"Trap card open, Ridiculing World!" Yuri called.


Ridiculing World

Normal Trap Card

Until the end of this turn, monsters your opponent currently controls gain 100 ATK, also monsters whose ATK is higher than its original ATK cannot attack.


Tiaramisu: (ATK: 2700 + 100 = 2800)

Fresh Sistart: (ATK: 2500 + 100 = 2600)

"I knew it was gonna be that. I activate Madolche Ticket, and end my turn." Sora said leaving an empty hand.


Madolche Ticket

Continuous Spell Card

When a "Madolche" card(s) is returned from your side of the field or Graveyard to your hand or Main Deck by a card effect: Add 1 "Madolche" monster from your Deck to your hand. If you control a face-up Fairy-Type "Madolche" monster, you can Special Summon the monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position instead of adding it to your hand. You can only use the effect of "Madolche Ticket" once per turn.


Yuri 2nd Turn:

Sora grunted as he thought, 'He's gonna summon his dragon!'

"Now with that done, I play Polymerization to fuse my two monsters together." Yuri smirked.


Polymerization

Normal Spell Card

Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.


The two plants flew up fusing.

"Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuri chanted.

His dragon appeared roaring in place.

Once per turn, if this card was Fusion Summoned this turn using only monsters on the field as Materials: You can make this card gain ATK equal to the combined ATK of all Special Summoned monsters your opponent currently controls, until the end of this turn. Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the end of this turn, that opponent's monster has its effects negated, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. If this card is destroyed: You can destroy as many Special Summoned monsters your opponent controls as possible, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the total ATK the destroyed monsters had on the field.


Upon facing him again Sora started to tremble before shaking his head, 'No! I can't let this scare me!'

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: (ATK: 2800 + 2700 + 2000 = 7500)

"You lose again, I attack Fresh Sistart." Yuri stated.

The dragon attacked.

Sora grunted, "Not this time! I reveal my face-down! Damage Diet! This halves the damage I take from your attack!"


Damage Diet

Normal Trap Card

Halve all damage you take this turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; halve all effect damage you take this turn. (You cannot halve the same damage twice with this effect.)


"And by shuffling Magileine back to my Deck Sistart survives! And thanks to my Ticket I can add her to my hand, and since I control a Fairy Madolche I can summon Magileine in defense mode!" Sora called as the magician appeared as Fresh Sistart held on.

Madolche Magileine: (ATK: 1400 + 500 = 1900/DEF: 1200 + 500 = 1700)

With Sistart's 2000 against Starving Venom's 7500 with half the damage Sora took a hard 2750 points of damage. (Sora: 1250)

Yuri just stared at the field before closing his eyes. "I end my turn."

"Oh snap! Sora barely survived that attack!" Nico announced.

"It comes down to a guess." Zane noted.


Sora: 0400

Yuri: 4000


Sora 3rd Turn:

Sora held on to his arm breathing a bit. "Whew! That was close!"

"You survived, not bad." Yuri mentioned.

Sora thought, 'But if I destroy Starving Venom then it will cost me but if I don't get rid of it it will cost me! What can I do? Everything on this match bets on this draw... Here goes!'

He drew closing his eyes as he opened then smiling, "Perfect!"

"I sacrifice Magileine to summon Puddingcess!" Sora called as the wizard only to be replaced by the Princess of Madolche royalty.


Madolche Puddingcess

While you have no monsters in your Graveyard, this card gains 800 ATK and DEF. After damage calculation, when this card battles an opponent's monster: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target.


Puddingcess: (ATK: 1000 + 500 = 1500/DEF: 1000 + 500 = 1500)

"And since Tribute Summoning doesn't count as being destroyed Magileine stays in the graveyard!" Sora called.

"How is that the perfect draw?" Yuri inquired. "Her effect can destroy my dragon but that ends the duel in my victory, not yours Sora."

Sora grinned, "I activate Tiaramisu's ability! By using an Overlay Unit I can return up to 2 Madolche Cards in my graveyard to my Deck! And in exchange I can shuffle up to 2 cards on your field back to your deck!"

Yuri just smiled hearing that. "Well then, which of my three cards are going back to my deck?"

"Starving Venom!" Sora called as the monster returned to Sora's Deck as Starving Venom roared vanishing.

"Well Sora, anything else?" Yuri inquired.

'Okay he's wipe open, and he still has a set card. If I don't attack now I won't get another chance like this! I'm gonna risk it!' Sora thought before calling, "Sistart attack him directly!"

"I play Dark Seed Planter." Yuri stated revealing his trap.


Dark Seed Planter

Continuous Trap Card

When this card is activated: All monsters your opponent controls become DARK. When a DARK monster you control is targeted for an attack by an opponent's DARK monster: You can negate the attack.


'That's the card? He doesn't have a Dark Attribute Monster out so that can't stop me!' Sora thought.

"You're right, this card is a more powerful defensive card than Ridiculing World." Yuri said calmly. "But there's a catch, I can only block attacks when your Dark monster battles mine."

Sora grunted before saying, "Ah well this means I beat ya! Alright Sistart, Tiaramisu, Puddingcess get him!"

The three attacks struck as Yuri's points dropped to zero.


Sora: 0400

Yuri: 0000

Sora wins the duel!


"SORA!" Lilly cheered before running up and hugging him.

Sora was so surprised by this they were dropped to the ground. Yuri just watched before shaking his head. "Ok you two."

"Uh Lilly. Can we get up?" Sora asked turning red.

"Nope." Lilly answered before kissing him.

Sora turned an even brighter red before kissing her back.

"Whoa that's one kiss I like to see again." Stacy smiled.

Tate blushed slightly before tapping her on the shoulder as they noticed Yuri wasn't saying anything this time.

"Seems like Sora have earned the right." Yuto smiled before turning to Yugo, "You knew Sora would win don't ya?"

"Not a clue, but I figured if he did well... when my little girl asks me to try I'll do something." Yugo answered.

"Pardon me you two lovebirds, but can we get to the next match now?" Melissa asked curiously.

"Stacy?" Tate asked nervously.

Lilly, and Sora got up as they walked back to the group Sora still reddened.

"Nice Score dude!" Leo grinned to Sora.

Stacy turned to Tate. Sora turned red at that but nodded. Tate blushed slightly before gently kissing Stacy's cheek. Stacy looked surprised before smiling giggling as he said, "Thanks Tatey." Before she kissed him back.

He turned bright red at that as the faces reappeared. They looked to see as it was shown that it was Ryoken vs Mason next.

"Go Mason!" Ace cheered.

Mason smiled as Ryoken grinned as they walked to the field.

Ace smiled before crossing his fingers.
