Chapter 13: Mechanical Duel

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Cardcaptors. Phineas and Ferb belong to Disney and will be featured as Erin's friends staying with her through out the adventure starting in this chapter. I do own Erin and her deck. Also for this chapter and the next few chapters I'd like to say this is Season 1 Jaden Yuki I'm using so he hasn't met Aster Phoenix yet.

Monday morning had arrived. Erin decided to sleep in a little bit due to the fact that well it was a Monday, that and the students of Duel Academy would be having classes. Deep down in her heart, she knew that Dr. Crowler and the other teachers would be busy for the full day with their own classes. Erin's private lessons with Dr. Crowler would begin when all of the students in Duel Academy were finished with their lessons. After sleeping in a bit, Erin gets up and walks about. For once to Erin, it felt odd not seeing anyone around in the Girls only Obelisk Blue dorm. Still she makes her way out of the Dorm then finds her way to Ra Yellow. Phineas and Ferb were up thinking of what they could do today. One things was certain they wanted a chance for them to shine.

"You know Ferb" Phineas spoke to his brother not really knowing Erin was making her way over towards them "Maybe we should consider Bastion's offer of Dueling Zane."

Ferb was quiet but manages to turn his attention to his brother. Phineas then continued "I mean Zane's seriously strong. From what Jaden and Syrus told me last night, he has Cyber Dragons and many Fusion forms. Besides Erin's not the only one that could use some more dueling skills! Hey that's it! Ferb! I know what we're gonna do today!"

Erin giggled hearing this getting the boy's attention as she walked towards them "I was wondering when I was going to hear that line. It has been a while since you've said those words."

"Oh, morning Erin!" Phineas said as he and his brother turned over to her "And I'm sure it has been ever since I've said that line, but I truly know what we're going to do today, we're going to Duel Zane Truedale."

"Tag Duel style?" Erin asked.

"Bastion told us that there was a way we could Duel Zane two against one, one would allow him to have eight thousand Life Points instead of four thousand since he is dueling against the two of us. Another would be he'd get a turn every time Ferb or I have our turns."

Erin thinks on this "If you two are sure about it, I won't stop you two. Honestly, Zane scares me. I don't know what it is but when I see him, it's as if I can sense how strong he truly is."

"Maybe it is the way he appears to glare at you" Phineas admitted "Yes, I know he's going to be strong, Ferb and I might lose to him, but we'll give it our all against him. One thing is for sure though, Ferb, Zane and I have machine type monsters. So it won't be easy to him to just walk right over me and Ferb, in theory we have a chance against him. Still like you did yesterday night with Jaden, you two Dueled your hearts out and even though you knew he was strong you still Dueled him even though you did lose in the end, that doesn't factor out that it was one heck of a Duel. Anyway like you did with Jaden, Ferb and I gotta try. We can't be sitting ducks while you and maybe Joey handle the heavy hitters, Ferb and I need to pull our weight too."

Erin agreed "Alright then, and your are right you do have a shot at beating Zane. I suppose one of us has to Duel him."

"That someone will be Ferb and me then. We just have to hope Power-Tool Dragon can help us out."

"Don't forget the XYZ Monsters we have" Ferb told Ferb.

"Those aren't the only monsters we have" Phineas admitted "Power-Tool Dragon is one of our strongest monsters, but Ferb also has a Synchro Monster."

Ferb nods "I never got to use it in our Tag Duel against Erin and Joey, but perhaps we will see it now...Not to mention you also have a XYZ Monster."

"Indeed" Phineas admitted.

Joey finally arrived at the area "So this is where you three were. I was wondering if any of one you decided to check out the classes today."

"I'll have to later on today with Dr. Crowler" Erin muttered.

"Oh yeah, he has to teach you Duel Monsters with the lecture part" Joey muttered "While Jaden handles your teachings with on the field...Say have any of you heard from Pegasus yet?"

"We've only been here for two days" Phineas told Joey "That's not enough time for anyone especially one that's very busy like Mr. Pegasus to inform us on what's developing. Heck Mr. Pegasus might have started for all we know but hasn't found anything."

"If any of of us were to be informed first, it would be Erin's parents then Erin herself" Ferb said agreeing with his brother.

"Which sadly I haven't heard from Mr. Pegasus" Erin admitted "Don't worry Joey, were here to have a good time by having Duels and increasing our Dueling skills. Think of this as a mini vacation!"

"I suppose I could use a vacation" Joey admitted "Don't get me wrong, I love Dueling as much as the next person...Well maybe not as much as Jaden does, but I love Dueling with a great passion. Still experience tells me we shouldn't let our guard completely down ether. Sure, Mr. Pegasus says that MFWD doesn't have that much of an Intel to know we are here, but I want to point out he said we SHOULD be safe."

Phineas pauses then understood where Joey was getting at "You're right Joey, Mr. Pegasus did say we should be safe here, but any evil organization has a way of being unpredictable. Erin, Ferb and I suggest we should keep our eyes open and be prepared for anything."

Erin sighs pouting a bit "You know Phineas...You nearly sounded like Kero saying that. I always remember hearing Kero telling my mother at times to always expect the unexpected."

"Well your mother's friend Keroberrous is one of the Guardians of the Sakura Cards" Phineas admitted "And the Sakura Cards can do the unexpected so it makes a lot of sense to have that line coming from him."

Ferb agreed with his brother giving him a thumbs up. Phineas turned to Erin "So perhaps Joey does have a point in watching our backs. Everyone at Duel Academy has welcomed all of us with opened arms...Although Obelisk Blues do sometimes give you that glare Erin."

"Doesn't bother me" Erin sighed as this didn't bother her, although it did annoy her seeing the looks of Obelisk Blues.

"Indeed, but if one of the Obelisk Blues really wants to hurt us" Phineas told Erin in a good warning tone "The best thing they could to try to hurt you in particular is finding out about the Sakura Cards then informing MFWD about you being here."

"Then MFWD would launch an assault here" Joey muttered "Although an assault here would be risky."

"If MFWD isn't careful and rush in like that, then they'd most likely would fail" Ferb agreed "However they seem to be crafty in their approach."

Erin was confused at this "How so?"

Phineas knew "While it's true a head on assault on Duel Academy would fail miserably, their leader is smart, and he'd probably realize that so he'd have the be literally scheming behind the lines. He could potentially swing some Obelisk Blues to his side and use them as spies. While some MFWD members make their hidden approach to Duel Academy undercover. A good enemy leader Erin thinks creatively."

"I see now" Erin said.

"Still" Phineas admitted "Joey, I agree with Erin in saying this, we should enjoy our time here, finding opponents to Duel and get stronger, win or lose. Although we should also heed Kero's warning to expect the unexpected. Now I'm pretty sure Alexis, Bastion, Chumley, Jaden, Jasmine, Mindy, Syrus and Zane are those that won't betray us."

"You missed Chazz's name" Joey pointed out.

Phineas admitted this "Yeah, I did, now while he was on Duel Academy's side during the Shadow Riders and dueled against his own brother even beating him using weaker monsters that weren't his usual deck, I'm hesitant to say we should trust Chazz fully. Sure he's seemed to change a bit but one can't be too sure. It's those types that may end up becoming victims to villainous organizations whom will use him rather he knows he's being used or not."

"Hmm, good point!" Joey admitted he turned to Erin "Don't worry too much about Chazz. He's currently in Slifer Red like Jaden, I'll keep a careful eye on him for you."

Erin giggled "Appreciate the effort if you can do that."

"Anyway" Phineas said "Let's start thinking on this Ferb, let's look through our Decks because we're going to Challenge Zane today to a two on one duel."

Ferb agreed with his brother.

"You two are getting bold with challenging that guy" Joey said "I'm here to support you two! According to Duel Academy's records, Zane is pretty much unbeatable, although Jaden claims Zane lost to this vampire chick Shadow Rider."

Phineas nods "True, but Ferb and I have some time to prepare for our Duel with Zane. We've already asked Bastion to request to to Chancellor Sheppard to meet Ferb and I today."

"And I'm here now" Chancellor Sheppard said as he arrived in the area.

The cheerful bald chancellor turned to Erin "Heard from Zane that you dueled Jaden yesterday night and dueled quite well against him, but in the end you lost. The very fact you went up against Jaden even though losing to him in the end must've felt very rewarding."

Erin agreed smiling "It was. I never had so much fun in my life when dueling someone, Alexis was fun to duel yes, but the Duel I had with Jaden last night was something else. I don't even care that I lost to him well not too much anyway. All I care about is that he and I had fun dueling."

"And that's the way it should be" Chancellor Sheppard said he turned to Phineas and Ferb "Bastion said you wanted to ask me something?"

Phineas nods "Yes, we did, um, Chancellor would you allow Ferb and me to duel Zane, two against one?"

Chancellor Sheppard chuckles "I wouldn't mind it as long as Zane's okay with the conditions you'll put in for him. Fair warning though, I was the one that taught him. I can vouch for him, that he's very tough. So once again I'm fine with it as long as Zane is."

"Good then" Phineas said "Because Ferb and I will challenge him later on tonight, this afternoon."

Chancellor Sheppard "Why not Duel him in front of the whole Duel Academy? I'll make the announcement."

"Why" Phineas said turning to his brother whom nodded at this wanting to "It would be Ferb and my great honor to Duel him in front of all the Duelist here."

Chancellor Sheppard turned to walk back "Very well, then I'll set the Duel up for one PM. One hour after lunch."

"We'll be there" Phineas told the Chancellor.

The Chancellor chuckled "See you then boys and Erin."

Erin watches the Chancellor walk off giggling "I like him! He's a good man."

Ferb agreed "He's certainly not like Dr. Crowler whom hates Slifer Reds. I can't see any bad bone in Chancellor Sheppard's body. He truly cares for all of his students here."

"That he does" Joey admitted.

For a while the group was silent as Phineas and Ferb checked their decks preparing for the Duel that was coming up. Erin only hoped the two boys knew what they were going to be up against. While the two boys were preparing for this upcoming Duel, Joey turned to Erin asking her "So have you been in touch with your parents?"

"Not really" Erin admitted frowning a bit at her admission "Honestly, I've been too caught up in the excitement here to do that, but I know deep down I should soon. Perhaps after we see the results of Phineas and Ferb's Duel with Zane. Besides I really need to ask Kero something."

Joey knew but he decided to make sure he and Erin were on the same page "Is this about the Shield and Fiery Sakura Cards turning into Duel Monster Cards?"

"You bet it is!" Erin answered "Don't get me wrong I like that they did become Duel Monster Cards, but Perhaps it is best that I Kero about it as he would be the number one expert of what used to be the Clow Cards. I'm pretty sure Pegasus told my parents about it but I'll let them know as well if they don't know about it."

"Point taken" Joey admitted.

It was five minutes still one PM, Erin leads her friends Ferb, Joey and Phineas into Duel Academy. Once inside the building she leads her friends to the Duel arena. One thing was sure that when five minutes passed her two friends Phineas and Ferb would be dueling Duel Academy's best Zane Truesdale. In a way it was a way for her to see what Zane's deck included inside it. In other words at least she'd know some of the Monsters, Spells, and Trap Cards Zane had in his deck. She was just grateful she wasn't on the receiving end of Zane's deck. Too bad it was Phineas and Ferb that would be on the receiving end of Zane's deck, but when she looked at the two boys they seemed very willing to try to beat Zane. It was almost as like they were confident that they could win against him. Just like she was confident last night thinking that she'd win against Jaden, but that wasn't the case. At least she went down proudly. Then one minute till one PM, Zane arrived in the room. He was still very much away from the two boys when she told the two "Here he comes. Good luck you two."

"Thanks Erin!" Phineas told her "Ferb and I need every support we can get. Like all duelist we have a chance in beating him. Just he's not going to be easy."

"Even if we lose" Ferb told his brother "At least like Erin did with Jaden last night, at least we'd give it our all. Let's give Zane a run for his money."

Phineas agreed "Right."

Joey watches as Zane comes towards them speaking to the two boys "Just be careful, I'm starting to feel what Erin feels all the time when she's sees Zane. He certainly feels like Seto Kaiba. Maybe not on par of Seto Kaiba's Dueling skills but he's perhaps nearly on that level."

Zane now confronts the four then looked at Phineas and Ferb "You two want to Duel me?"

"We sure do" Phineas told him "Problem was and still is that Ferb and I basically Tag Duel as our specialty. Our decks are meant for that style, but we surely do want to Duel you."

Zane looks at the two boys "I've never shrugged off a challenge before and I won't ever shrug off a challenge. Honestly I'm surprised it's coming from you two and not from Joey."

"Hey!" Joey told him "I take choosing my opponent's seriously! If I wanted to duel you, I then I certainly would! However I sort of learned from trying to Duel and beat Seto Kaiba that it's probably not a good idea to rush to Duel a really strong opponent."

"Funny" Erin muttered getting Phineas and Ferb to sweet drop at her comment "You were in a rush to Duel Dr. Crowler."

Joey turned to her "He was asking for it! Putting me in Slifer Red! It felt like he was mocking me! I had to put him in his place! In that situation it was sooner or later!"

Zane turned to the two boys "Two against one is allowed, so what do two suppose is the right way for me to do this with you two?"

Phineas answered "You'll get 8000 Life Points while me and Ferb share 4000, you'll get to go first, and you'll have your turns alternating between me and Ferb whenever me or my brother have ended our turn when it gets to him or me.

"Fair enough" Zane admitted "I accept your challenge."

One minute passed, students arrived. Chancellor Sheppard and Dr. Crowler arrived last. Both Chancellors were surprised that Erin and her friends arrived in the dueling field five minutes early. Everything looked ready to go. Zane was at one end of the Dueling field while Phineas and Ferb were at the other end. Most Obelisk Blues saw Zane at the far end of the Dueling field. Most of them except for Alexis with her friends were honestly hoping that it would be Erin foolishly dueling Zane and that Zane would put Erin in her place, sadly this wasn't the case and they were slightly disappointed it wasn't Erin dueling Zane. This proved to them Erin wasn't stupid enough to challenge Zane at her current level and this was something the Obelisk Blues did approve of, at least the visiting girl whom was Pegasus's student knew when she was outclassed at her current level of Dueling. Then they saw whom Zane would be dueling against and with the exception of Alexis with her friends all shouted towards Zane "CRUSH THOSE TWO!"

"Once again" Joey muttered as Jaden joined them "Tough crowd those Obelisk Blues are."

"Don't mind them" Jaden told Joey "They may think their elite and all but even they can be beaten. I mean I love putting Obelisk Blues in their place."

"You are probably the only Slifer Red that does that to them honestly" Joey admitted.

Jaden turned to Erin "Ready to see this duel?"

Erin nods "You bet! I just hope my two friends know what they are up against."

Syrus sighed "Even if they did know, that won't necessary help you against my big brother Zane. You truly need to be ready for anything when going up against my big brother."

Dr. Crowler hesitates seeing that Jaden was with Erin but makes his way over towards Erin. Erin saw him approaching "You and I will have our private lesson shortly after this."

"Okay" Erin sighed out.

The group watches now watches as the Duelist get ready. Zane activates his Duel Disk, drawing his top five cards while Phineas and Ferb both activated their Duel Disks activating them. All three Duelist shouted "DUEL!"

Zane's Life Points: 8000

Phineas and Ferb's Life Points: 4000

"As of our agreement" Zane told the two boys "I'll make the first move!"

Zane checks his hand then decides to go with his first move "I summon Cyber Valley in attack mode!"

A small mechanical monster appeared on the field ATK: 0

"Zero attack points?" Joey asked "What's the point of that?"

Erin had a feeling she knew why "Careful there Joey, Mr. Pegasus has repeatably told me that even though when monsters seem to have 0 attack points, they can have devastating abilities."

"That's correct" Dr. Crowler admitted "Monsters with 0 attack points may seem weak to the untrained eye and to the hopeless, but they can make an opponent pay if they trigger the monster's effect."

Joey heard Dr. Crowler's hopeless comment and knew it was addressed towards him. Joey fought himself to not punch the Vice Chancellor thinking HE JUST CALLED ME HOPELESS!

"With that" Zane told the two boys "I'll activate Spell Card, Different Dimension Capsule!"

A capsule appeared on the field and Zane explains the effect "With this card, I can search threw my deck and choose one card to remove from play face down. After two turns have past the card goes into my hand."

He searches his deck and saw the card he wanted. He then removes it from play and reshuffles his deck. Different Dimension Capsule stayed on the field. Zane then looked at the two boys "With that I end my turn."

Ferb nodded towards his brother indicating Phineas should make the second move. Phineas nods back "Alright then, it's my move I draw!"

Phineas drew his card, and studies the field. "For starters I'm going to activate Field Spell Card: Mechanical Garage!"

Erin recognizes this card and giggled "This'll come in handy."

"No kidding!" Joey admitted "They used it against you and me when we had a Tag Duel against them."

"Interesting garage" Zane told the two boys "I doubt it'll be helpful against me."

"We'll see" Phineas told Zane "I summon Robotic Knight in attack mode!"

A robotic knight appears on the field ATK: 1600

"Next" Phineas told Zane "I activate the effect of Mechanical Garage! Once per turn, if Ferb or I managed to Summon a Machine Type Monster, we are allowed to Special Summon from our hands or deck one more Machine type Monster as long as it's level is equal to our less than the one that we Normal Summoned. However the Special Summoned Monster can't attack during the turn it is Special Summoned."

Zane blinked not expecting that effect, that could actually change things into the boy's favor. Phineas then spoke "With that being said I Special Summon the Black Salvo Tuner Monster from my deck!"

Black Salvo appears on the field ATK: 100

"Oh-no" Zane muttered "A tuner monster?"

"You bet" Phineas admitted "In order for Ferb and I to have a chance against you, we'd better be able to use this monster. I'm going to Tune my level three Black Salvo with my level four Robotic Knight! In order to Synchro Summon...Power-Tool Dragon!"

Power-Tool Dragon appears on the field ATK: 2300

"That's one incredible looking golden mechanical dragon" Syrus muttered.

Erin nods "It has two incredible effects. Joey and I should know."

"That thing gave us enough trouble when we dueled them in a Tag Duel" Joey admitted "It can be quite scary to face off against if you're unprepared for it."

Phineas then announces "I activate, Power-Tool Dragon's special ability! Once per turn, Ferb or I will be able to search through our decks and randomly receive one Equip Spell Card from it and add it to our hand."

A random equip spell now appeared in Phineas's hand "Next, I activate the Equip Spell Card: Malfunction Chip!"

A small chip appeared on Power-Tool Dragon's drill and Phineas explained the effect "This equip Spell Card can only be equipped to Machine Type Monsters. It increases the machine type monster's attack by Two Hundred attack points."

Power-Tool Dragon's attack rose by two hundred 2300-2500

"Now Battle!" Phineas declared "Power-Tool Dragon attack Cyber Valley!"

"Big mistake!" Zane told Phineas "For that activates Cyber Valley's effect! By sending it to the Graveyard I can end the Battle Phase!"

Zane tries to do this but for some odd reason he couldn't "WHAT GIVES?"

Phineas answered "It's Malfunction Chip's second effect, when the monster with Malfunction Chip attacks another Machine Type Monster, it negates the targeted monster's effect!"

Zane had been caught off guard by this effect of Malfunction Chip and Power-Tool Dragon drills right through Cyber Valley destroying it and caused massive Life Point damage to him.

Zane's Life Points: 5500

Zane stood his ground surprised Malfunction Chip had a good effect. Two hundred attack points wasn't much but to negate another Machine Type Monster's effect when attacking was a good effect.

"That wasn't how Zane wanted to start this Duel off" Jaden admitted.

"He lost twenty-five hundred Life Points" Syrus muttered "That's a first I've seen him lose that much due to Battle Damage."

Phineas checks his hand "I'll set one card face down and end my turn."

Zane was still surprised that Phineas was able to get Power-Tool Dragon on his turn and get an Equip Spell Card that was so effective against Machine Type Monsters. Still that didn't stop Zane "It's my move, I draw!"

Zane drew his card checking his hand then spoke about the Standby Phase "One turn left till I get the card I removed from play!" he then goes into his Main Phase one "Since you have one monster on the field and I have none, I can Special Summon my level 5 Cyber Dragon from my hand!"

One of Zane's Cyber Dragon appeared on the field ATK: 2100

"Next" Zane told Phineas "I summon Proto-Cyber Dragon to the field as well"

A smaller version of Cyber Dragon appeared ATK: 1100

"Now" Zane told the two boys " While Proto Cyber Dragon is on my side of the field, it is treated as Cyber Dragon. With that in mind, I'll activate Spell Card: Polymerization! I'll use it to fuse Proto-Cyber Dragon and Cyber Dragon together in order to Fusion Summon, Cyber Twin Dragon!"

Cyber Twin Dragon appeared on the field ATK: 2800

"Now" Zane told the two boys "Battle! Cyber Twin Dragon attack Power-Tool Dragon! Double Strident Blast!"

"Power-Tool Dragon has a special ability!" Phineas warned Zane "By discarding an equip Spell Card from him I can prevent his destruction by Battle or Card Effect!"

"You could activate it" Zane told Phineas "But Cyber Twin Dragon's special ability allows it to attack twice during the Battle Phase!"

"Which is why I activate my Trap Card instead" Phineas said activating his Trap Card "It's called Mechanical Barrier!"

A barrier appears around Power-Tool Dragon as Phineas explained "It may not be like Hero Barrier, but this Continuous Trap Card, can only be activated when I have Mechanical Garage on the field, thanks to Mechanical Barrier my strongest Machine Type Monster can't be destroyed by battle. However the Battle Damage will double."

Cyber Twin Dragon's attack slams into Power-Tool Dragon but due to the barrier that was up Power-Tool Dragon stands but the battle damage was still calculated and doubled. Phineas and Ferb's Life Points: 3400

"Not a bad Trap Card" Zane told the two boys "But remember you two, Cyber Twin Dragon can attack twice! So here comes his second attack, Cyber Twin Dragon attack again with Double Strident Blast!"

Cyber Twin Dragon attacked again, once more Mechanical Barrier prevented Power-Tool Dragon's destruction by battle but the battle damage again doubled. Phineas and Ferb's Life Points: 2800

"With that" Zane told the two boys "I set one card Face down and end my turn."

Ferb raised his hand ready to help his brother and silently mentioned he was drawing a card. Zane lets him. Ferb drew his card, checks out the field, then points to Power-Tool Dragon. Zane knew what Ferb had in mind as Ferb activates Power-Tool Dragon's effect. An Equip Spell Card was randomly added into Ferb's hand and Ferb activates it at once "I activate Equip Spell Card, 7 Completed!"

Zane watches as the Equip Spell was played and Ferb announces it's effect "I'll use it's effect to increase my Power-Tool Dragon's attack points by seven hundred!"

Power-Tool Dragon's attack point rose 2500-3200

"It's only going to continue to grow stronger" Joey muttered.

"Considering it's the only monster Phineas and Ferb have a chance in beating Zane" Erin admitted "They have to get it stronger."

Jaden agreed "Now the two boys don't have to worry that much about using Mechanical Barrier. They have enough Equip Spell Cards to protect Power-Tool Dragon from being destroyed by battle itself now."

"I never knew such a Synchro Monster could be a problem for someone like Zane" Dr. Crowler admitted "Actually it's more like an annoyance."

Ferb checks his hand knowing that Zane had Cyber End Dragon as well and that did Piercing damage, plus Mechanical Barrier only protecting the strongest Machine Type Monster on their side of the field. He had to be careful he suspected Zane had removed his Power-Bond card so they had to be ready for it, however now could've been the time for his own Synchro Monster.

Ferb then held up a card "I summon Ancient Gear Knight!"

Ancient Gear Knight appears on Ferb's side of the field ATK: 1800

Dr. Crowler watches "What is that boy planning?"

Ferb then points to Mechanical Garage, Zane knew "Oh great he's activating Mechanical Garage's effect.

Ferb nods at Zane's words and find another monster "With Mechanical Garage's effect I special Summon Ancient Gear Ninja, Tuner Monster!"

An Ancient Gear monster in shape of a ninja appears ATK: 1000

"Another Tuner monster?" Alexis asked "Man two Synchros in one duel."

"Next" Ferb spoke to Zane "I'm going to tune my level four Ancient Gear Ninja, with my Level four Ancient Gear Knight, in order to Synchro Summon: Ancient Gear Magician!"

Ancient Gear Ninja split into four rings then used the rings to scan Ancient Gear Knight and in a blinding flash of light, there stood a new Ancient Gear monster in form of a magician. ATK: 2600

"I'll activate Ancient Gear Magician's effect" Ferb told Zane "Once per turn I can undo a Fusion Summon, Synchro Summon or XYZ Summon, returning them to the two Fusion Material monsters that were used to make my opponent's monsters. So Ancient Gear Magician, return Cyber Twin Dragon to the monster cards that were used to Fusion Summon it! Ancient Magic!"

Zane watches once more in disbelief that Mechanical Garage had helped the two boys out once more. His Cyber Twin Dragon now returned to it's Cyber Dragon form and the Proto-Cyber Dragon.

"Now" Ferb told Zane "We'll battle, Power-Tool Dragon will attack your Cyber Dragon!"

Power-Tool Dragon comes at Zane's Cyber Dragon and strikes it with it's drill. Zane braces himself as his Life Points feel by the Battle damage. Zane's Life Points: 4400

"Next" Ferb announced "Ancient Gear Magician shall attack your Proto-Cyber Dragon, go Ancient Gear Magician attack Ancient Magic Blast attack!"

Ancient Gear Magician took aim, fired a spell, and Ferb announced the other effect, which was the effect of all Ancient Gear Monsters "And like all other Ancient Gear Monsters, when Ancient Gear Magician Attacks, you can't activate any Spell or Trap Cards until the end of damage step."

Zane watches as Ancient Gear Magician attacked his Proto-Cyber Dragon and destroys it. Zane once more took some damage to his Life Points. Zane's Life Points: 2900

All of the Obelisk Blues went silent seeing this. Duel Academy's best had started with double the amount of Life Points and they were now down to twenty-nine hundred. They couldn't believe how fiercely Phineas, and his brother Ferb were dueling against Zane, and it looked like they were going to beat Zane. Zane wasn't out just yet "Phineas, and Ferb, you two are doing truly well against me. However I activate my Trap Card: Cyber Return!"

Zane's face-down activated as he announced the effect "I can only activate this Card when my opponent has used up all of their attacks during the Battle Phase. With it I can bring back all of my monsters that were destroyed during this turn!"

Cyber Dragon and Proto-Cyber Dragon once more appeared on the field ATK: 2100, 1100

"For each one that was returned" Zane told the two boys "I get to draw one card."

Zane drew two cards.

Ferb checks his hand "I'll set one card face down and it ends my turn."

Zane watches "It's my move, I draw!"

Zane drew his card. Then the Stand by Phase activated. Zane turned to the boys "Now, that two whole turns have past since I've activated Different Dimension Capsule, it now is added into my hand!"

Zane adds in the card in his hand then nods "Perfect! Ferb! Thanks for undoing my Cyber Twin Dragon! For now I activate the Card that I have been waiting for all this time due to Different Dimension Capsule, and it goes by the Spell Card Power Bond!"

Zane activated the Spell Card "With Power Bond's effect, it's treated like Polymerization except only used for Machine-Type Monsters. With it, I'll fuse my Proto-Cyber Dragon, with the Cyber Dragon on the field and a second Cyber Dragon in my hand in order to Fusion Summon, CYBER END DRAGON!"

Cyber End Dragon appears on the field ATK: 4000

"That's a lot of monster" Phineas muttered.

"And it's about to get even worse!" Zane told Phineas "Because thank to Power Bond the Fusion Machine Type Monster's attack points double!"

All eyes watched as Cyber End Dragon's attack points doubled 4000-8000

"It's strong enough to end this duel!" an Obelisk Blue announced "Zane's got this!"

To Erin's eyes this looked true, neither Power-Tool Dragon, nor Ancient Gear Magician had the attack needed to protect her two friends "This doesn't look good."

"Yeah" Jaden agreed with her "It doesn't."

"He pulled a Seto Kaiba on them" Joey muttered sadly "Kaiba would've done this too! Only much more quicker."

Zane decided to attempt to end this duel "You two did well against me but it wasn't enough, go Cyber End Dragon attack Power-Tool Dragon Triple Strident Blast!"

Ferb was waiting for it "Not so fast! I activate my Trap Card: Magic Trick!

Ferb's Trap Card activated and it showed Dark Magician pulling off an incredible vanishing magic trick with Dark Magician Girl as his assistant being the one he was using it on. Ferb explained the effect "This card can only be activated during the Battle Phase and I have a monster on the field whose card name ends with Magician. This Trap Card redirects your attack towards my monster Ancient Gear Magician."

"Doesn't matter whom I target" Zane told Ferb "You two will still lose!"

"There's more to my Trap Card" Ferb explained causing Zane to look at him Ferb explains more "Now I can remove from play both monsters until the end of the turn, however I take damage equal to have of your monster's original attack points.

"No way!" Zane shouted.

He watches in amazement as Cyber End Dragon's attack was redirected towards Ancient Gear Magician whom simply snapped his fingers causing both Cyber End Dragon and Ancient Gear Magician to disappear from the field. Ferb takes damage to his Life Points though.

Phineas and Ferb's Life Points: 800

"Thanks man!" Phineas told his brother "You saved us that time."

Ferb gives his brother a nod.

Zane checked his hand "Due to Power-Bond's effect, I'll take damage equal to the original attack points of my Fusion Monster, I'm forced to activate the Quick-Play Spell Card: Ring of Defense, to ensure I take no damage due to Power Bond's effect and I'll end my turn."

No sooner had Zane ended his turn, Cyber End Dragon and Ancient Gear Magician returned to the field.

"It's my move!" Phineas declares "I draw!"

Jaden's theme plays

Phineas nods "Perfect! For starters I'm going to Summon Biofalcon to the field in attack mode ATK: 1700

He then nods "Next I'll activate Wonder Garage's effect! This time to Special Summon Gyroid! From my deck!"

Gyroid appears on the field ATK: 1000

"No Tuner this time?" Zane asked.

"Nope!" Phineas told him "Something even better! Thanks to Mechanical Garage, I have managed to bring out two Level four monsters. Doing so allows me to Special Summon, the level four Robo Assassin from my hand!"

A robot in form of an assassin appeared on the field ATK: 1400

"Your only two monsters are Power-Tool Dragon and Ancient Gear Magician" Zane told him "Even if you use Ancient Gear Magician's effect, that won't be enough to end this Duel."

"I know that" Phineas told him "However with three level 4 monsters, I'm going to go beyond Synchro Summoning. Watch and learn! I build the Overlay network using Biofalcon, Gyroid, and Robo Assassin! In order to XYZ Summon Mech Warrior!"

A machine warrior, it looked like Biofalcon, Gyroid and Robo Assassin all merged into one huge mechanical monster almost like a Power Rangers Megazord sort of thing appeared on the field ATK: 2500

Zane watches this in amazement, he was aware of Synchro Summoning due to watching Erin's Duel with Alexis and Dr. Crowler's Duel with Jaden, but he wasn't aware of XYZ Summons "What just happened?"

"XYZ summon just happened" Phineas told him "Unlike Fusions, and Synchro Monsters, XYZ Monsters don't leave to the Graveyard and orbit around the XYZ monster awaiting for an effect to be used...Speaking of effects though, I activate Ancient Gear Magician's Special ability, once per turn I get to return a Fusion, Synchro or XYZ monster to their Fusion Material monsters that were used to summon it...So go Cyber End Dragon, be split apart! Go Ancient Magic!"

Ancient Gear Magician unleashes a spell that separates Cyber End Dragon to it's two Cyber Dragon forms and it's Proto-Cyber Dragon. ATK: 2100 (X2), 1100 This caused Zane to grow worried "Not good."

"Now" Phineas told Zane "It's time to battle! Power-Tool Dragon attack one of Zane's Cyber Dragons!"

Power-Tool Dragon took off stabbing a Cyber Dragon. Zane's Life Points fall. Zane's Life Points: 1700

"Now" Phineas declared "Ancient Gear Magician, attack another one of his Cyber Dragons! Ancient Magic Blast attack! "

Ancient Gear Magician came at the second Cyber End Dragon and destroys it.

Zane's Life Points take another hit Zane's Life Points: 1200

"Now with that" Phineas told Zane "We get one more attack, Mech Warrior attack Proto-Cyber Dragon and I'll be glad to activate his effect, once per turn by detaching one XYZ Material Monster and sending it to the Graveyard, Mech Warrior lowers the attack points of an opponent's monster equal to the attack strength of the XYZ Material monster's attack strength that was sent to the Graveyard! Plus he gains the same amount of Attack points too!"

Zane looked alarmed "It alone could've defeated my Cyber End Dragon if it had four thousand attack points!"

"You bet it could! However not when it had eight thousand" Phineas admitted sending Biofalcon to the Graveyard so Mech Warrior could lower Proto-Cyber Dragon's attack points by seventeen hundred making it have an attack strength of 1100-0. Mech Warrior's attack points also rose by seventeen hundred 2500-4200

"Now" Phineas told Mech Warrior "Go Mech Warrior, attack Proto Cyber Dragon with Mechanized Power Slash!"

Mech Warrior drew it's sword charging it up and then swung it at Proto Cyber Dragon. The sword slash connects destroying Proto-Cyber Dragon and ending the duel in Phineas and Ferb's victory!

Zane's Life Points: 0

end of Song

"HOW COULD THIS BE?" The Obelisk Blues except for Alexis, Jasmine and Mindy asked.

Alexis found herself smiling at how well the two boys were able to handle Zane. She could see why they were an incredible Tag Duelist. She gets up and explains to her Dorm "What is with you? Anything can happen during a Duel! We have to accept that our visitors are strong Duelists. There is a reason why Mr. Pegasus sent them here and that was to be able to improve their talent. Win or lose for them, they are gaining experience. With new monster types like Synchros and XYZ Monsters we have to expect that they can and will use them!"

The blues all sigh as they saw Alexis was right. Most Duel Academy students had in their decks were Fusion Monsters, but Phineas and his brother Ferb had Synchros and XYZ Monsters which could be a problem to deal with.

Zane gets up and walks towards Phineas and Ferb stretching out his hand towards them "Good duel."

"It was indeed" Phineas said with the two boys shaking Zane's hand.

Erin ran down towards her two friends with Joey at her side "I can't believe you two beat him!"

"If Ferb hadn't used his Trap Card on Zane" Phineas told her "We would've been the ones that lost."

"I can see why you two are incredible Tag Duelists" Zane told them "And I'm impressed with how well you were able to handle me. Any other duelist at your age would've been creamed."

"That's for sure" Erin admitted.

Dr. Crowler approached and Erin sighs "If you all excuse me I have lessons with Dr. Crowler. I'll see you all tonight."

She walks off with Dr. Crowler to get her lessons in.

End of chapter

Long chapter I know, but I wasn't about to make this a two part chapter. If you were expecting Zane to win, well sorry. I mean I have nothing against Zane but come on Phineas and Ferb are extremely smart. Plus Power-Tool Dragon can be an incredible foe. Anyway next chapter is Chapter 14: Ojamas: Upon seeing Zane get defeated by Phineas and Ferb, Chazz decides to try to even up the score for Duel Academy and he decides to go after what he thinks is the weakest member of Erin's friends: Joey Wheeler.
