bopdog111: Well guys here's Gyrus vs Rokket.

Ulrich362: Admittedly, a probably one-sided match in favor of Ryoken.

bopdog111: He is a powerful guy, and really a tough joe.

Ulrich362: Very true, he could easily win the entire tournament... well, there might be one way to beat him but we'll get to that later on. For now, enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS but we own the OCs!


Mason, and Ryoken stepped in as Mason admitted, "I'm nervous Ryoken... But I won't give up."

"That's what I like to see." Ryoken grinned. "Then let's get started, and give these people a show of a lifetime!"

Ace suddenly frowned. "Mason's going to lose."

"What happened to the cheering from earlier?" Dawn asked him.

"I want him to win, he's my best friend but Mr. Ryoken probably is really good against Cyberse monsters so it isn't fair." Ace explained. "He probably has a way to make them not work anymore."

"Yusaku you seen Ryoken duel a few times. Anything about anti-Cyberse?" Yuya asked him.

"He had only one anti-Cyberse card." He answered. "But he got rid of it when he realize it isn't a fair card."

"Oh, that's good." Ace said before smiling. "Mason can win then."

"I don't know. Ryoken seems a bit more then what we seen in his match with Gore." Declan told him.

"Mason is going to win." Ace insisted. "Just watch."

Ai asked Ace, "Well should I show ya the anti-Cyberse card he had? I had the stats for it in my memory."

"Ok." Ace nodded.

Ai shows him a holographic card.

Ace stared at the card in awe. "Wow."

"Trust me Yusaku had a close call when he played that card. Managing to summon Firewall Dragon at that." Ai nodded.

Ace nodded before turning to the match.

"DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: The One Who Laughs Last by Downplay)

Mason: 4000

Ryoken: 4000

Let the duel begin!


"Mason why not you go first?" Ryoken offered the boy who nodded.

Mason 1st Turn:

"Okay first I activate the field spell, Gyrus Inferno!" Mason called as the field spell appeared around them.


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.


"Ah I remember this." Ryoken nodded.

"Mason starts off with his powerful field spell." Melissa announced.

"Will it lead him to another victory?" Nico Smiley asked.

"Now I summon Gyrus Spawn." Mason said as the monster appeared.


Gyrus Spawn

Cyberse

ATK: 0

(Mason: 4500)

Ryoken 1st Turn:

"My turn draw." Ryoken said drawing.

World Legacy Awakens

Normal Trap Card

Immediately after this effect resolves, Link Summon 1 Link Monster using monster(s) you control as material. You can only activate 1 "World Legacy Awakens" per turn.


"A trap card?" Kelly asked.

"With this I can Link Summon during your turn!" Mason explained his trap's effect.

"Oh, well that's certainly interesting." Yuri smirked.

"Clever strategy." Yusei admitted. "He used Gyrus Inferno to increase his points before using World Legacy Awakens to Link Summon. If he Link Summoned before he would only gain 500 points."

"Not only that, he can Link Summon during Ryoken's turn to counter his cards." Yuto added.

"Appear the Circuit of the Inferno!" Mason called as the Circuit appeared. "Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are two "Gyrus" Monsters! I set Gyrus Spawn, and Gyrus Demon in the Link Markers!"

The two entered the Link Markers.

"Circuit combined! Link Summon! Appear Link 2, Gyrus Mephisto!"

"Yes." Ace cheered

"But he has 300 points." Dawn told him.

"Don't underestimate Mason. He wouldn't do that until he knows what he's doing." Bonnie grinned.

Ryoken looked over his hand as he said, "Well seems like I'm the same. I start with my own field spell, Boot Sector Launch!"


Boot Sector Launch

All "Rokket" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK/DEF. You can activate 1 of these effects;

"And due to Boot Sector Launch they gain 300 attack, and defense points!" Ryoken called.

Shelrokket Dragon: (ATK: 1100 + 300 = 1400/DEF: 2000 + 300 = 2300)

Metalrokket Dragon: (ATK: 1700 + 300 = 2000/DEF: 1400 + 300 = 1700)

"He's going to Link Summon isn't he?" Yugo guessed.

"And now Mason I summon Sniffer Dragon!" Ryoken called as the red skinned dragon appeared.

The Circuit appeared.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at three Dark Dragon monsters! I set Metalrokket Dragon, Shelrokket Dragon and Sniffer Dragon in the Link Markers!"

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

"Circuit Combined! Link Summon! Appear Link 3, Vorticular Drumgon!"

"Vorticular Drumgon?" Yuya asked turning to Yusaku.

"A dragon that has only one ability." Yusaku answered.

"Whenever it's Special Summoned it allows Ryoken to draw a card but prevents him from using the monster zones it's pointing at for the rest of the turn." Ai explained.

"One card can be the difference between winning and losing." Celina mentioned.

"Whenever this monster is Special Summoned I can draw a card!" Ryoken called drawing. "And now I activate Link Coin!"


Link Coin

Normal Spell Card

Send 1 Link Monster you control to the GY; excavate cards from the top of your Deck, equal to the sent monster's Link Rating, add 1 excavated card to your hand, also place the remaining cards on top of your Deck in any order. During your next Standby Phase, Special Summon the Link Monster sent to the GY to activate this effect.


At the spell's activation Vorticular Drumgon vanished.

"Huh?" Ace asked in confusion. "Where did it go?"

"Link Coin sends a Link Monster, Ryoken controls to the graveyard." Yusaku explained. "In exchange he can excavate the top cards of his deck equal to it's Link Rating, and add one of them to his hand. During his Stand-By Phase he can summon the monster he sent."

"Oh, ok." Ace nodded.

Ryoken said, "I excavate the top three cards."

He looked as he grinned before showing what he's adding was Mirror Force.

"Saw that coming a mile away." Leo admitted.

"Now I set 1 card, and end my turn." Ryoken ended.

"Only ending with Mirror Force face-down?" Lance asked from Bonnie's Duel Disk.

"You're wrong, there's no way that set card is Mirror Force." Lulu told him.

"Yeah don't let this fool you." Bonnie told the Ignis.

"What do you mean?" Lance asked her confused.

"Yes one of Ryoken's lethal cards is Mirror Force but he might have set something else to prevent Mason from attacking." Bonnie explained.

"It's even simpler than that, he just showed Mason he added Mirror Force to his hand. One set card after adding that trap?" Lulu asked. "Who wouldn't guess Mirror Force?"


(New Dueling Theme: Same Old Page by Burden of the Sky)

Mason: 4500

Ryoken: 4000


Mason 2nd Turn:

'Okay I don't know what he placed... Might not be Mirror Force but he left himself wide open... I don't know what to do. I better stay cautious...' Mason thought before drawing.

'Not to mention that.' Yusaku thought watching.

"Okay. I summon to the field Gyrus Infernalfiend!" Mason called as the field appeared.

"Link 3." Ace smiled.

"Now appear the circuit of the Inferno!" Mason called.

"Link 3!" Ace cheered.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are two "Gyrus" Monsters! I set Link 2 Gyrus Mephisto, and Gyrus Demon in the Link Markers!"

The two entered the Link Markers of Up, Left, and Down.

"Circuit combined! Link Summon! Appear Link 3, Gyrus Adria!"

● Trap: Send 1 "Gyrus" Monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do inflict 500 damage to your opponent.


"Huh?" Yuya asked. "Isn't that strong for a burn card?"

"Her ability is when she's Link Summoned." Bonnie answered.

"When she's Link Summoned I can destroy a card you have, and an effect plays depending on the result." Mason explained.

Ryoken nodded.

"You don't got a monster so you avoided that effect. You would take damage equal to half that monster's points." Mason explained. "And you only have 1 set card so that card is destroyed!"

Adria attacked the card destroying it as Ryoken smirked.

"Ah yeah there goes Mirror Force!" Lance grinned.

"Wrong." Bonnie said confusing Lance.

"Activating Continuous Trap Card! Mirror Force Launcher!" Ryoken revealed the card.

"His real trap." Zarc noted. "Mason should have attacked."

Mason looked surprised.

"When this set card is destroyed I can set it from my graveyard, and Mirror Force from my hand or Deck." Ryoken smirked setting the cards. "And those cards can be activated."

Mason grunted, "Well since it was a trap Adria sends a Gyrus from my hand to the graveyard, and deal you 500 points of damage!"

Adria sent a magic bolt as Ryoken grunted. (Ryoken: 3500)

"Oh no." Ace said sadly.

"And now I activate Gyrus Demonic Mage's effect in my graveyard!" Mason called. "Whenever it's sent to the graveyard I can lower Adria's points by 1000 to destroy 1 set card on your field!"

That caught everyone off-guard.

"Huh?" Yusei asked in surprise.

"Wait but if Mason hits Launcher again..." Yuya started.

'Uh... Which one is Mirror Force?' Mason thought looking at the two set cards nervously. 'If I pick the wrong card that will be bad news...'

"Mason..." Ace whispered.

Mason closed his eyes as he gave it thought before snapping them open. "There!"

He pointed to the left card as Adria fired a blast as the card flipped up revealing it was Mirror Force as it shattered.

Adria: (ATK: 2100 - 1000 = 1100)

"He got it!" Ace cheered.

"Alright now that the road is clear Adria can attack you directly!" Mason called as Adria fired a bolt at Ryoken who grunted. (Ryoken: 2400)

"Talk about a lucky guess." Melissa noted.

"That's my turn." Mason ended.

(Mason: 5000)

Ryoken 2nd Turn:

"Huh not bad Mason. You really caught me off-guard with that. My turn! I draw!" Ryoken called. "First up Link Coin summons Vorticular Drumgon during my Stand-By Phase!"

The dragon appeared roaring at it was placed in the fifth monster zone on his right.

"Whenever Vorticular Drumgon is Special Summoned I can draw a card!" Ryoken called drawing.

"What's he planning?" Alex asked curiously.

"And now as you control a Link Monster I can summon Gateway Dragon!" Ryoken called as the brown dragon appeared.

Mirror Force Launcher

The cards Set by this effect can be activated during the turn they are Set.


"Huh, but Mason didn't destroy it this time." Lilly mentioned

"Once per turn as long as it's out by discarding a card I can add a not so fun card to my hand." Ryoken said smirking discarding a card called Cracking Dragon before adding Mirror Force from his graveyard.

Ace frowned before his eyes widened. "Oh no!"

"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 Vorticular Drumgon, and Gateway Dragon in the Link Makers!"

The two flew to the four Link Arrows.

"Circuit combined! Link Summon!" Ryoken called. "Appear Link 4, Topologic Bomber Dragon!"

Bomber Dragon appeared roaring in place.

"Mason's in a huge amount of trouble." Zarc noted.

"Now I summon another Sniffer Dragon from my hand!" Ryoken called as the monster appeared. "And now Bomber Dragon attack Gyrus Adria! Ultimate Malicious Code!"

The monster fired the blast destroying Adria as Mason grunted. (Mason: 3100)

"And now Bomber Dragon deals you damage equal to the original attack points of Adria!" Ryoken smirked. "Aiming Blast!"

Bomber Dragon fired a blast.

Mason quickly called, "I play my face-down! Trap of Board Eraser!"


Trap of Board Eraser

Counter Trap Card

You can only activate this card when an effect that inflicts damage to your Life Points is activated (except Battle Damage). Negate the Effect Damage you receive and your opponent then selects 1 card from his/her hand and discards it.


"Huh, what's that?" Stacy asked curiously.

"When a effect activates that inflicts damage that damage is negated!" Mason called as the Aiming Blast wore off. "And that's not all you also have to discard a card from your hand!"

"Whoa." Alex whispered. "Mason is super strong."

"I discard Defrag Dragon from my hand." Ryoken said calmly leaving his hand with Mirror Force.

"He still has his trap." Bonnie frowned.

"Now Sniffer Dragons attack him directly!" Ryoken called as the two red dragons attacked Mason who took the blows. (Mason: 1500)

"Sheesh he keeps chipping away at your Life Points!" Lance groaned emerging from Mason's Duel Disk.

"What can he do big sis?" Ace asked nervously.

"Destroy Bomber Dragon." Dawn answered.

"I end with a set card." Ryoken ended.


(New Dueling Theme: Everything by Bridge to Grace)

Mason: 1500

Ryoken: 2400


Mason 3rd Turn:

Mason grunted as he drew. "Okay I play Pot of Greed. This allows me to draw 2 Cards!"


Pot of Greed

Normal Spell Card

Draw 2 Cards.


He drew twice.

Suddenly Rin gasped only to smile and rub her stomach gently.

"Mommy?" Alex asked worried.

"Bruno just started kicking again. It's ok though, he's still happy." Rin answered.

Alex smiled as she placed a hand on her stomach. She felt a gentle slow kick. Alex smiled at this, "Bruno... I love you."

She felt another small slow kick. Alex made a surprised look as tears gathered with a smile, "I think... He just said 'I love you too'."

Suddenly Alex asked, "Hey Mommy? Is he kicking a bit slow?"

Rin paused before closing her eyes only to open them. "Now that you mention it, he is."

Ray gasped hearing that.

"Ray?" Declan asked.

Mason nodded at what he drew. "I play Gyrus Glitch! By paying 1000 points I can summon a Gyrus from the graveyard! I summon Gyrus Adria!"


Gyrus Glitch

Normal Spell Card

Pay 1000 Life Points. Target 1 "Gyrus" Monster in your graveyard: Special Summon it.


(Mason: 0500)

Adria appeared.

"Now I set two cards. And now Adria attack Sniffer Dragon!" Mason made a surprising move,

"He knows Ryoken set Mirror Force!" Yugo cried.

"Mason don't!" Ace cried fearfully.

Ryoken smirked, "Very well here you are! Activate the trap card, Mirror Force! All monsters you have in attack mode are destroyed!"

The trap activated.


Mirror Force

Normal Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Destroy all your opponent's Attack Position monsters.


That was before Mason grinned playfully, "I was hoping you would do that!"

"Hoping he would do that?" Dawn asked turning to Bonnie.

Bonnie grinned.

"Activate the Counter Trap, Gyrus Shutdown!" Mason called.


Gyrus Shutdown

Counter Trap Card

You can only activate this card if you control a "Gyrus" Link Monster. If your opponent activates a Trap Card that destroys a card: Negate the activation, and if you do reset it. Your opponent cannot activate that card, and cards with the same name for the rest of the duel. If you have less then 1000 Life Points, you can activate this card the turn it was Set.


"A trap the turn it's set?" Nico asked surprised.

"I can only activate this when a Gyrus Link Monster is out, and I can activate it the turn it's set when I have less then 1000 Life Points! This negates Mirror Force's activation, and re-sets it!" Mason called as Mirror Force was reset. "And there's more! You can no longer activate Mirror Force for the rest of the duel!"

"Whoa." Celina whispered. "You two would have helped against Sardon."

"A card that seals away Mirror Force." Ryoken smirked as Sniffer Dragon was destroyed. (Ryoken: 1100)

"Think he'll use that?" Ai asked.

"Most definitely." Yusaku answered.

"Use what?" Yuya asked.

"Just watch." Ai told him.

"Ray?" Zarc asked suddenly.

"Rin, I think he's scared." Ray told her.

"Scared?" Rin asked.

"But... He's not kicking mommy hard." Alex told her.

"Of course not, remember what the doctor told Rin?" Ray asked.

Alex thinks about it. That's when she remembered the doctor said if Bruno kicked like that again Rin could die. Alex looked worried as she turned to Bruno. "He's... He's being careful about his strength."

"Exactly, I speak from personal experience that Bruno can feel Rin's emotions." Ray explained.

That made Dawn, and Ace turned to their mother surprised hearing that.

"Me, and Ace... Felt your emotions?" Dawn asked her.

"Both of you did." Ray answered with a smile. "It's one of the best parts of being a mom."

"Mommy... Are you afraid?" Alex asked Rin worried.

Rin looked down. "Actually... yes."

Alex hugged her. She hugged her back.

"It's okay to be afraid Mommy." Alex smiled to her.

Rin smiled back. "You're an angel Alex."

Alex smiled.

Mason said, "That's my turn. And now Gyrus Inferno gives me 500 more points!"

Mason glowed. (Mason: 1000)

"They're pretty even aren't they?" Gore noted.

"Yeah but Macy will win." Bonnie grinned.

Ryoken 3rd Turn:

"My turn draw!" Ryoken called drawing. "And I activate Card of Sanctity! This allows the two of us to draw until we have 6 cards!"


Card of Sancity

Normal Spell Card

Each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand.


"Pretty risky thing since both of their hands are empty!" Melissa announced as they drew 6 cards.

"Ace, there's one thing you should know." Yusaku told him.

"Huh?" Ace asked turning to him.

"Lance wasn't the only one to improve your mechanic." Yusaku told him.

"What do you mean?" Ace asked confused.

"You'll see." Ai answered.

Ryoken looked over, and smirked "Okay I now activate the spell, Borrel Regenerator!"


Borrel Regenerator

"Now Bomber Dragon's ability activates! When a monster is Special Summoned all monsters in our monster zones are destroyed!" Ryoken called. "Full Overlap!"

The monster charged his wings.

During your Stand-By Phase: Pay 500 Life Points or destroy this card. If this card is destroyed, and sent to the graveyard except by it's own effect: Destroy all monsters in the Extra Monster Zones.


"That was close." Dawn admitted. "This duel is really even though."

"When a effect is played that destroys a card Gyrus System permanently negates the effects of the monster that activated it, and prevents both of us from attacking directly!" Mason called. "During my Stand-By Phase I have to pay 500 points to keep it on the field or it gets destroyed, and if you destroy it except by it's own effect monsters in the Extra Monster Zones are destroyed!"

"A strong defense, but will it be enough?" Nico Smiley asked.

"Not bad however it won't be enough." Ryoken smirked. "I activate the spell, Quick Launch!"


Quick Launch

"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are two rokkets! I set both Autorokket, and Anesthrokket in the Link Markers!" Ryoken called as the two flew to the Left, and Right. "Circuit combined! Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Miniborrel Dragon!"

"It's starting." Yusaku noted.

"And now appear again! Manifest the future circuit that lights up my path!" Ryoken declared as the circuit appeared again.

"Another Link Summon?" Mason asked in shock.

"Exactly." Yusaku noted. "Just like our duel."

"He done this against you?" Yuya asked.

"Yeah. Into something we almost thought would never be possible, and he nearly beat our hide!" Ai answered.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least three Effect Monsters! I set Link 2 Miniborel, Sniffer Dragon, and Shelrokket Dragon in the Link Markers!"

At that the three flew up to the Link Markers.

"My gale that slices open the closed world! Link Summon! Appear, Link 4 Borrelsword Dragon!" Ryoken chanted.

At that his the dragon he used against Zarc, and Gore appeared roaring.

Ace blinked in confusion.

"Now I set a card, and Borrelsword attack Adria!" Ryoken called as Borrelsword charged.

Mason called, "I play the effect of Kuriboh in my hand! By discarding this card I negate the battle damage!"

Adria shattered as Mason grunted.

"This is really bad." Ace mentioned fearfully.

"At least Gyrus System prevents Ryoken from attacking directly with Magarokket or Bomber Dragon." Dawn told him.

"That's not what he has to worry about." Ai mentioned.

"Your move Mason." Ryoken smirked. 'Soon it will be complete...'

Mason 4th Turn:

Mason drew, and looked surprised. Cynet Ritual.

'How did this get in my deck?' Mason thought.

Anxious by the lack Ryoken asked, "Is there a problem?"

Mason shook his head saying, "No. No problem at all."

"Well don't forget you have to pay for Gyrus System." Ryoken reminded.

Mason nodded paying. (Mason: 0500)

"This is getting really tough." Leo admitted. "Mason only has one more turn to be safe."

Bonnie however said, "Don't worry. Mason will be alright."

"Next as I control 2 Gyruses I can summon a second Gyrus Demon!" Mason called as the monster appeared. "Appear the circuit of the Inferno!"

"Mason only has 500 life points... and if he summons Gyrus Satan, he wins!" Terri realized.

"Wrong." Bonnie told her. "He not summoning Satan yet. He is cautious, and only summons Satan at where he thinks the road is clear. Ryoken has a set card so he can't use Satan."

"Huh, but if he isn't summoning Satan who is he summoning?" Stacy asked.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning conditions are 3 "Gyrus" Monsters! I set Demon, Madgda, and Rakanoth in the Link Markers!" Mason called as the flew up.

"Yeah. Lance just overdids his work sometimes." Bonnie answered.

She nodded in understanding.

"Mundus attack!" Mason called as it charged at Magnarokket.

Ryoken smirked, "Trap activate! Link Turret!"

At that what appeared above the stadium was a machine where it shows a blue ring.

"When I activate this card I send 2 Rokkets from my deck to the graveyard, and place a rokket counter on Link Turret for each Link 3 or higher monster on the field. There are three so that's 3 Rokket counters!" Ryoken called.

Link Turret: (Rokket Counter: 3)

Then Magnarokket was destroyed. (Ryoken: 0800)

Link Turret: (Rokket Counter: 3 + 1 = 4)

"Four counters, that's not good." Yugo frowned.

"Link, Synchro, and Ritual!" Kelly cried in shock.

"I sacrifice the level 3 Gyrus Infernalfiend, and the level 3 Gyrus Demon in my hand!" Mason called. "That way I can Ritual Summon!"

"Demonic contract be made here! With the Virus of the Demons emerge here, and show everyone your sorcery! Ritual Summon! Appear Level 6! Gyrus Zolten Kule!"

"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Mason ended rendering his hand empty again.

Yusaku just frowned.

(Mason: 1500)

"He came far this is where it's over." Ai admitted.

Ryoken called, "Magnarokket's ability activates! Whenever it's destroyed I can summon a new rokket! Come Metalrokket Dragon!"

The dragon appeared.

Metalrokket Dragon: (ATK: 1700 + 300 = 2000/DEF: 1400 + 300 = 1700)

Ryoken 4th Turn:

"Activate face-down, Spirit Barrier!" Mason cried.

"Clever move." Declan stated.

Borrelsword destroyed Mundus.

"Fine... Bomber Dragon attack!" Ryoken called as Bomber Dragon attack Zolten Kule... Only for it to have no effect.

"Wait what?" Riley asked in confusion. "Why didn't anything happen?"

"Zolten Kule can't be destroyed in battle." Bonnie explained.

"Ok, definitely could have used you two against Sardon." Lulu nodded.

Ryoken smirked. "Very well... Up to main phase two! I activate Link Turret's ability! By removing a Rokket Counter I can summon a rokket from the graveyard by negating it's abilities! Come Magarokket, and Shelrokket!"

Link Turret: (Rokket Counter: 4 - 2 = 2)

"Wait why'd he bring back Mason's monster?" Alex asked.

"Now I activate Miniborrel's ability from the Graveyard!" Ryoken called. "By tribting a Link 3 Monster while I control a Borrel Link Monster it summons itself!"

Adria vanished as Miniborrel appeared.

"Now manifest the future circuit that lights up my path!" Ryoken called as the circuit appeared.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least three Effect Monsters! I set Link 2 Miniborrel Dragon, Magnarokket Dragon, and Shelrokket Dragon in the Link Markers!"

At that the three flew up to the Link Markers which are Left, Right, Bottom-Left, and Bottom-Right.

"It's starting." Ai told Yusaku.

"I know." Yusaku nodded.

"My new wind that pierces through the closed world! Link Summon! Appear, Link 4 Borreload Dragon!" Ryoken chanted.

"Is he..." Ace whispered in awe.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least three Effect Monsters! I set Link 2 Miniborrel Dragon, Autorokket Dragon, and Metalrokket Dragon in the Link Markers!"

"And now time to debut the last!" Ryoken grinned. "I activate Borrelguard's ability! I send the set Mirror Force from my field to the graveyard in order to summon Gyrus Mugnus from your graveyard!"

Mugnus appeared.

"And now one last time! Manifest the future circuit that lights up my path!" Ryoken called again as the circuit appeared.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are at least two Effect Monsters! I set Link 3 Gyrus Mugnus, and Metalrokket in the Link Makers!"

At that the two flew up to the Top, Left, Right, and Bottom Arrows as a bright Light appeared.

"Normally, each player can only use an Extra Monster Zone at a time. But when both Extra Monster Zones have been bound together, a new monster can be summoned to the other!" Ryoken called out. "Link Summon! Manifest Link 4! Topologic Gumblar Dragon!"

While this card is Extra Linked, Link Monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects.


"Extra Link!" Ryoken declared as all five of his Link 4 Dragons roared in sync.

"Extra Link... wow." Ace mentioned only to frown.

Nico, and Melissa were frozen in shock seeing that Ryoken had done what they thought never would be possible. In fact the audience, and the group together were also frozen.

"Reincarnation... Extra Link... what's next?" Yuto questioned.

Mason stood frozen in shock, 'Whoa man... This is...'

"It's over." Yusaku said not fazed.

"No it isn't." Ace argued. "Mason, you can still try something!"

"If he can survive this!" Ryoken smirked. "When it's Extra Linked, Gumblar Dragon can display his hidden power!"

Gumblar Dragon bashed his fists as Ryoken called, "I play Gumblar Dragon's ability! Once a turn when Extra Linked all cards in your hand are destroyed, and you take 3000 points of damage!"

That was before he added one shocking fact, "This effect cannot be negated!"

"In other words his only chance is if Zolten Kule can protect him." Dawn realized. "If not, it's game over."

"This is the end Mason!" Ryoken called.

"DEUS EX MACHINA!"

At that Gumblar Dragon fired his fists at Mason who looked on with widen eyes as the attack hit.

"MACY!" Bonnie cried now losing her cool.

"He didn't lose... he can't have lost." Ace whispered tearing up.

"Guess this is over." Ryoken smirked.

"Not yet...!" A voice grunted from the smoke shocking everyone.

"Mason?" Bonnie asked in surprise.

The smoke cleared showing Mason battered up, and looked like a wreak was on a knee. "I... Still have Life Points!"

(Mason: 0300)

"No way!" Ryoken cried in shock. "The damage can't be negated! How did you survived!?"

"Can't be negated..." Declan started before his eyes widened. "Of course, he didn't negate the damage. He must have restored his life points instead."

"No... Zolten Kule... Reduced it." Mason grunted standing up. "When I take... Effect Damage... He reduces it by 600 for each Gyrus Card on the field. I have Gyrus System... Zolten Kule... and Gyrus Inferno... It's reduced by 1800."

Ace wiped his eyes seeing that and smiled.

"Huh your a pretty tough one... The last person who survived Gumblar Dragon's ability was Yusaku." Ryoken told him. "You should be proud of yourself. I end my turn."

Link Turret vanished as Ryoken said, "And during this end phase as Link Turret doesn't have any Rokket Counters it goes to the graveyard."

Everyone except Ace turned to Yusaku hearing that.

"Come on Mason, there's still something you can try." Ace whispered.


(New Dueling Theme: Le Marie Glennecia)

Mason: 0300

Ryoken: 0800


Mason 5th Turn:

"Ah man we barely got out of that one." Lance said worridly.

"Yeah... You given up?" Mason asked him.

"No! I won't!" Lance yelled.

"I won't either..." Lance looked over surprised as Mason begun laughing.

"Your laughing at a time like this?" Lance asked surprised.

Mason smiled to him tiredly, "I haven't had this fun in a long time... Thanks to Ace I managed to regain what I lost... And now I'll return him the favor with this last draw..."

With that Mason drew.

"Did Mason draw a card that'll help him?" Nico Smiley asked.

Mason looked as he smiled, "Yep. I activate Gyrus Firewall! By destroying Gyrus Inferno, and paying half my points I can summon Gyrus Adria, and Gyrus Mundus!"


Gyrus Firewall

"And now appear one more time! Appear the Circuit of the Inferno!" Mason called as the circuit appeared. "Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are 3 "Gyrus" Monsters! I set Gyrus Adria, Gyrus Mundus, and Gyrus Zolten Kule in the Link Markers!"

The three flew to the Link Markers.

"Circuit combined! Link Summon! Emerge Link 3! Gyrus Satan!"

"Satan now?" Zuzu asked.

"All Ryoken has now is Mirror Force Launcher." Bonnie answered.

Mason called, "Satan loses 300 points for each monster it points it!"

Satan: (ATK: 1000 - 300 = 700)

"And now since my Life Points are less then a thousand 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 called.

"Then... does that mean he wins?" Terri asked in shock.

"Yeah he does." Ai said in shock.

Mason smiled. "Satan attack Borreload Dragon, and end this duel!"

Satan attacked Borreload Dragon as it roared being defeated as Ryoken cried out landing on his back.


Mason: 0150

Ryoken: 0000

Mason wins the duel!


"Whoa." Yuya said in awe.

Mason chuckled before he sat down, and laid on his back totally exhausted.

"Need a hand?" Ryoken asked.

Mason looked to see Ryoken is offering him a hand.

"Give... Give me a second." Mason smiled tiredly breathing a bit.

Ryoken nodded in understanding as the faces appeared again before fading to reveal Zarc was dueling Yuki. Zarc stared at that before laughing. Yuki chuckled, "I defeated ya last time we dueled Zarc."

"True, with a little help though." Zarc laughed. "Shall we?"

Yuki nodded as Ryoken helped Mason back as he gave a tired grin to everyone.

"You're amazing." Ace smiled.

"Thanks... To your help Ace... I'm really glad... Your my best friend..." Mason chuckled as he leaned on Bonnie to stay on his feet.

Ace smiled happily hearing that. "You're my best friend too."

Mason grinned as he gave a yawn. "Man... Dueling Ryoken was really fun, and exhausting..."

"Well, just two more rounds." Dawn mentioned. "You just might win."

Mason grinned tired.

"Get some sleep Mason. You earned it." Bonnie smiled to her little brother before sitting down placing his head on her lap.

He smiled at her tired before closing his eyes beginning to snooze.

"After you Yuki." Zarc smiled.

Yuki grinned nodding.

"DUEL!"

"Well considering Offerings of the Doomed destroyed your monster and Five-Headed Dragon has 5000 points I would say yes." Zarc chuckled. "Five-Headed Dragon attack him directly!"

The Dragon attacked. Yuki just watched as he instantly lost.


Zarc: 4000

Zarc wins the duel!


"Two more matches!" Nico announced.
