Episode 1.3: "Power-Packed Duo!"

I stared her opponents down, as I had summoned three of my newest monsters to the field in one turn, which definitely took my opponents by surprise since they had never seen or heard of such cards before, even my own partner was as surprised as they were. I had an intense look on my face, it was still my turn and I was about to show everyone, just what my new deck could really do.

DJ: "Wow, amazing! These cards are all brand new to me!"

Cecilia: "(Her thoughts)..Whoa! This doesn't look good, their both using cards I've never seen before but I still has more attack power, then their monsters and we have a good defense as well thanks to Travis. There's no way there gonna get through to our life points!"

Travis: "(His thoughts)..These guys are tough, no wonder! One's a regional champion and the other is a finalist. Oh man, how did I ever think I could make it into the nationals with such fierce competition."

Vicki: "Alright! Since, it's still my battle phase I can still attack you!"

Travis: "What! Our monsters are still stronger, your new monsters' attack power is too low!"

Vicki: "That's what you think! My Supreme Heroes may have low attack strength, but they more then make up for it with their special abilities!"

Travis: "What? Special abilities! Tell us!"

Vicki: "Gladly! First up in, my Supreme Hero – Dark-Side! When he is summoned to the field, his special ability inflicts 400 points of damage for each monster on the field! If you include himself, my 2 other heroes, my partner's monster and your three! That makes 7! I'm sure, you bad at math! So why, don't I help you out? That's 2800 points of direct damage! Tough break! Go, Curse-Sealer!"

Dark-Side's eyes glow red, as he takes his scythe weapon and spins it around manically laughing to himself as he points his weapon straight at my opponents launching a black aura of power and engulfs them both. Travis & Cecilia yell in-pain, as the darkness leaves them they fall to one knee.

DANNY & VICKI 4800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 5700

Cecilia: "Ow..that...hurt..."

Travis: "Ah..man.."

Danny: "Vicki..."

Vicki: "What? It's not my fault, they summoned 3 monsters is it? So be quiet! I'm not done. Since Dark-Side's ability was activated, he is destroyed and sent to my graveyard. Bless him..(Dark-Side destroys himself, entering the graveyard)..Don't worry though, he'll be back soon! Now my Supreme Hero – Perrikus's ability: Once per turn, I can select 1 "Supreme Hero" on my side of the field, then during the battle phase only it's ATK points are increased by 200 by the total number of stars on my opponents' monsters have! Since all three of yours is a 4-star monster, my Tokkots gains 2200 attack points! Pretty sweet effect, eh?"

Perrikus's begins to glow, as auras surround Cecilia & Travis's monsters absorbing power. The auras fade, as the power transfers to Tokkots increasing it attack power from [1700 to 3900].

Travis: "What?! No Way!"

Cecilia: "This is going to hurt!"

Vicki: "You got that right! Tokkots, go attack Goblin Attack Force with Chrome-Magnum Blast!"

Tokkots jumps up into the air, then forms a large sphere of energy in his hand & launches it towards Goblin Attack Force and destroys it, as large gust of wind passes Cecilia knocking her down on her butt watching their life-points drop by 1600..

DANNY & VICKI 4800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 4100

Vicki: "Now, my Tokkots's ability activates! Whenever, he inflicts battle damage to my opponent his special ability allows him to attack again! But since, your lost a level 4 monster right now Tokkots's attack points decrease to 3100! Go Tokkots destroy her Orc with a second Chrome-Magnum Blast!"

Tokkots jumps up in the air again, and forms a second sphere of energy and launches it towards Giant Orc.

Cecilia: "No! Not again! I activate, my trap go! Hallowed Life Barrier!"

Hallowed Life Barrier flips up, as Cecilia discards a card from her hand to the graveyard.

Danny: "A Trap!"

Cecilia: "That's right by discarding a card from my hand to the graveyard I take no more damage this turn!"

Vicki: "(She smiles sadistically)..That's what you think! Because from, my hand I activate the quick-play spell: Supreme Conquest! (Supreme Conquest materializes quickly onto the field)..See, if I send a Supreme Hero from my deck to the graveyard, I can negate the effects of your trap card & destroy it! (Vicki pulled out her deck, then select her hero monster then sent it to her graveyard before placing her deck back in her duel-disk)..Not bad, huh?"

Supreme Conquest launches a beam of energy at her trap destroy it, as Tokkots's attack continues an destroys Giant Orc as 900 points are lost due to the attack.

DANNY & VICKI 4800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 3200

Vicki: "(Smirks to herself)..Your lucky Soul-Tiger is still on your field, or my Perrikus would have introduced itself to you both personally. I think that's enough pain for one turn, over to you Cecilia. I end my turn with a face-down card."

Supreme Hero – Tokkots attack power drops down to it's original, as a face-down appears behind her monsters.

Cecilia & Travis breath heavily finding hard to believe they lost some serious life points, last turn. DJ looks on in shock at how destructive, Vicki is being including Danny.

Danny: "(His thoughts)..Whoa! That was relentless..Vicki means business! But was some great moves. I better keep my eye on her from now on."

Cecilia: "My..move...I draw!"

Cecilia draws her deck, she regains her composure and continues her turn.

Cecilia: "Alright, your going to pay for that! I summon, Goblin Elite Attack Force! Attack mode, of course!"

Goblin Elite Attack Force [2200/1500] appears on the field in attack mode.

Cecilia: "Goblin Elite Attack Force! Attack Supreme Hero – Tokkots with Goblin Assault!"

Goblin Elite Attack Force charges towards Tokkots and destroys it as a result inflicting 500 points of damage to Vicki & Danny's life points.

DANNY & VICKI 4300

CECILIA & TRAVIS 3200

Vicki: "(Smiling)..Thanks for that, because by destroying my Tokkots! You triggered my trap card! (Her trap flips up)..From Beyond, The Dark Brethren! This trap allows me to special summon, a level 4 or below "Supreme Hero" monster from my deck to the field, if a monster I control is destroyed in battle! So, who will it be? (She opens up her deck) So many heroes to choose from, Hmm..Ah, yes! Perfect! I select: Supreme Hero – Tarene! In defence mode!"

Supreme Hero – Tarene [500/1300] materializes onto the field in defence mode.

Cecilia: "So be it, since my battle phase as ended my Goblin Elite Attack Force switches to defence mode. Next I'll play a face-down and that's all."

A face-down card appears behind her monster, as Danny get's ready to take his 2nd turn.

Danny: "Okay! My draw!"

Danny draws 1 card, from his deck, he looks at his newly drawn cards then nods to himself as he places it in hand a selects a new card, from his hand.

Danny: "I summon, my GX-Core 4 – Multiple Helix in attack mode!"

GX-Core 4 – Multiple Helix [2000/0] appears on the field in attack mode.

Danny: "Next, I play the spell card: Front-Line Base! (Front-Line Base appears on the field)..Once per turn, I can special summon 1 Union-type monster from my hand to the field! So, I summon: GX-2 Dual-Matrix in attack mode!"

GX-Core 2 – Dual Matrix [1300/1300] materializes onto the field in attack mode.

Danny: "Next, I'll fuse my 3 GX-Cores by removing them from play! To bring out, the 2nd strongest fusion monster in my deck!"

GX-Cores: 1, 2 & 4 all blast off into the sky and begin to dissemble and transform themselves into something different. Seconds later, the fusion is complete as a large star-like cruiser descends from the ceiling slowly.

Danny: " Galaxis 11: Survivor Matrix! In attack mode!"

Galaxis 11: Survivor Matrix [3500/1200] appears in full behind it's master.

DJ: "Whoa..that's one huge, aircraft!"

Vicki: "Impressive, Danny."

Travis: "It's so powerful! 3500 attack points!"

Cecilia: "Their decks are just, so powerful!"

Danny: "First things first, if I want to attack I must pay 500 life points!"

DANNY & VICKI 3800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 3200

Danny: "Galaxis 11: Survivor Matrix! Attack Goblin Elite Attack Force with Survival Cannon!"

Galaxis 11 retracts it long-nosed guns and releases 2 beams of power from them, which goes straight though Goblin Elite Attack Force shattering it to pieces. Danny smiles..

Danny: "And that's not all, when my Survivor Matrix destroys a monster in defence mode, the difference between it's ATK points and the defending monsters DEF points is subtracted from, your life points Cecilia!"

Cecilia: "No! So, that's why you attacked my monster and not Soul Tiger , because my monster had less defence power!"

Danny: "Correct! Sorry! So you lose 2500 life points!"

DANNY & VICKI 3800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 800

Cecilia & Travis both feel the pain of their lost life points with loud screams.

Danny: "But don't worry, the damage you take is added to our life points! As a little bonus! Heh.."

Danny smiled, as he and Vicki watched their life points meter increase from 3800 to 6300 (+2500).

DANNY & VICKI 6300

CECILIA & TRAVIS 800

Danny: "If I want my Galaxis 11 to stay on the field, and not de-fuse itself I must pay 500 life points to keep it on the field.

DANNY & VICKI 5800 (-500)

CECILIA & TRAVIS 800

Danny: "That's all from me, I end my turn."

Vicki: "Excellent moves, Danny!"

Danny: "(Smiling)..Thanks, Vix!"

Travis: "My turn! I draw! (He draws a card from his deck)..I activate, Tribute Summon! (It appears on the field)..this spell allows me to count my Soul Tiger, as 2 tributes!"

Cecilia: "Alright, Travis!"

Travis: "I sacrifice, Soul Tiger to call out: Wing-Weaver! In attack mode!"

Soul Tiger vanishes, as Wing-Weaver [2750/2400] materializes onto the field in attack mode.

Travis: "Next, I'll equip it with the spell card: Megamorph!"

Vicki: "What?!"

Danny: "Not good, his monster's attack points will double now! Since, they have less life points, then us!"

DJ: "Whoa! What a come-back!"

Travis: "His right! So, my monster's power becomes 5500!"

Cecilia: "Yes!"

Wing-Weaver's attack points increase from [2750 to 5500].

Danny: "It's stronger, then our monsters!"

Travis: "Also, I equip this to my Wing-Weaver! The spell card: Twin Swords Of Flashing Light – Tryce! (It appears on the field).."

Vicki: "Now, it can attack twice!!"

Danny: "Argh...we underestimated, Travis!"

Vicki: "Well, Duh!"

Travis: "I discard a card to the graveyard, and reduce my monsters attack points by 500 to attack you twice this turn! (Wing-Weaver's attack power decreases to: 5000)..Wing-Weaver! Attack Galaxis 11 with Hope's Light!"

Wing-Weaver does so, then launches a ball of energy towards Galaxis 11.

Vicki: "Danny!"

Danny: "Argh..I don't think so! I reveal, my face-down card! (He places his hand over one of his face-down cards, as he flips up)...Inter-dimensional Matter Transporter! So now, I can remove my Galaxis 11 from play, then at the end phase of this turn it returns to the field!"

Cecilia: "Not, if I have anything to say about it! Go, Solemn Judgement! (It flips up activating)..Now by paying half our life points, I can negate and destroy your trap card!"

DANNY & VICKI 5800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 400 (-400)

Danny: "No way!"

Danny's trap card is destroyed, as Wing-Weaver's attack destroys Galaxis 11 costing our heroes 1500 life points.

DANNY & VICKI 4300 (-1500)

CECILIA & TRAVIS 400

Danny: "Nice counter, but check out my Galaxis secondary ability! When, it's destroyed in battle I can special summon, the monsters I used to fuse it together back to the field with half their attack & defence points!"

Travis: "Argh!"

GX-Core 1 – Sole Matrix [525/525]/GX-Core 4 – Multiple Helix [1000/0]/GX-Core 2 – Dual Matrix [650/650] materialize return to the field in defence mode.

Travis: "So be it! But your partner won't be so lucky, because my Wing-Weaver's 2nd attack is heading straight for your Perrikus! Wing-Weaver attack Perrkus with Hope's Light!"

Danny: "Vicki! Watch out!"

Wing-Weaver launches it's attack and blasts Perrikus to pieces causing Vicki to cry out in pain, as they lose 3800 life points..

DANNY & VICKI 500 (-3800)

CECILIA & TRAVIS 400

Vicki falls to one knee, as does Danny breathing heavily to themselves. Travis & Cecilia smile in enjoyment, as Travis ends his turn.

Travis: "I end my turn."

DJ: "Took about kicking you, when your down! Travis pulled a surprise set of combos and took out nearly all of Vicki & Danny's life points! This could be it folks, what can these two do now to win?"

Vicki: "Humph..I can answer that! We can do, plenty! (Danny & Vicki return to vertical base)..It's my turn now, and I'm ending this duel, right here..right now!"

Travis: "Our monster has 5000 attack points! There's no way, you can win! Give it up!"

Cecilia: "Yeah, stop embarrassing yourselves!"

Danny: "What?! Just because you guys caught off-guard, doesn't mean we're done yet! Right, Vix?"

Vicki: "Right! As I'm about to prove! I draw! (Vicki draws from her deck, then nods to herself)..I activate my Pot of Greed, spell card! (It appears on the field, then shatters)..So I draw 2 cards! (Looking at her new draws)..Excellent! First, since I sent my Supreme Hero – Adva to the graveyard, when I activated Supreme Conquest it returns to the field in attack mode! Since, whenever it's in my graveyard it comes back during my next turn! So rise, my hero in attack mode!"

Supreme Hero – Adva [500/500] materializes onto the field, after removing itself from Vicki's graveyard.

Vicki: "Next, if I sacrifice it his special ability allows me to special summon, any monster from my hand with "Supreme Hero" in it's name! So later, Adva! I sacrifice you to call out: Supreme Hero: Thor! In attack mode!"

Adva vanishes into the graveyard, as Vicki places her chosen card on her duel-disk with authority. Supreme Hero – Thor [3000/1800] materializes onto the field in attack mode.

Vicki: "Thor's ability allows me to sacrifice, another Supreme Hero on my side of the field to destroy all your spell & trap cards on the your side of the field. And guess, what my Tarene is? Thor, Chaos Hammer!"

Tarene vanishes off the field, as Thor raises his hammer in the air as it conjures lightning and sends in the direction of Cecilia & Travis's spell & trap card zones shattering everyone of them including Travis's Twin Swords & Mega-Morph equipment spells.

Danny: "Yes! Alright, Vicki!"

Travis: "No, my extra points!"

Wing-Weaver's attack points drop from 5000 to 2750, her original points.

Cecilia: "Don't worry, we'll still survive! Her monster doesn't have enough attack power to wipe our life points out."

Vicki: "That's, what you think! Because, I have another card in my hand! The equip spell: Mjolnir, The Hammer of Silence! (It appears on the field activating)..This spell card can only be activated, when Thor is on the field! It increases Thor's attack points by 800! Making it strong enough to end this duel, right now!"

Supreme Hero – Thor's attack points increase from 3000 to 3800, as the hammer glows with a black aura.

Danny: "We win! Show 'em the drill, Vix!"

Vicki: "My pleasure! Thor, ends this duel and attack Wing-Weaver with Thunder Hammer Destruction!"

Thor releases his battle cry, then raises his hammer in the air as he absorbs high voltages of lightning and smashes into the ground below launching an all-out thunder blast straight for Wing-Weaver electrifying it with pure intensity and causing it's destruction. Cecilia & Travis let out one final cry, as the lightning strikes them too causing their life-points to reach 0 and ending the duel with Danny & Vicki, as the winners.

DANNY & VICKI 500

CECILIA & TRAVIS 0

The holograms fade and the duel disks de-activate, as DJ Jazz-Man starts to announce the winners...

DJ: "What a duel!! A great way to kick off, the preliminary rounds! Danny & Vicki, our home-town heroes are the winners! Congratulations, you will move onto round 2! Cecilia *& Travis, I'm sorry but we'll be sending you home! Let's hear it, one more time for Vicki & Danny!"

The crowd cheer, as Danny scratches the back of his head with a smile whilst Vicki just waves at the fans with a smile. Cecilia & Travis get back to their feet, as Danny & Vicki head over to their former foes and offer their hands in thanks for a a great duel and sportsmanship..

Vicki: "Well done, guys! It was a tough match..."

Danny: "Yeah, absolutely! Especially, towards the end. You've got great potential."

Vicki: "I would agree, your go far in the future! So keep up, the good work and who knows, you might become champions yourself one day..(Vicki smiles at them, as they smile back and shake hands with each other).."

Cecilia: "Thanks, Vicki! You guys were amazing! Good luck in the rest of the tournament."

Travis: "Yeah, you might need it."

Danny: "Indeed, we will. Later guys, take care."

Everybody break handshakes, as each pair goes off the way they came. As Danny smiles at Vicki, as they walk towards the entrance to dressing areas..

Danny: "We did it, Vic! We did it."

Vicki: "Yeah, I guess we did. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we've still got along way to go..(looking at him)..But you did, Danny..(She smiles)..

Danny: "Wow! Thanks! You too! And I agree, we still have a long way to go, especially if the competition get's tougher."

Vicki: "Oh, it will Danny. It always does."

Vicki closes her eyes, as Danny looks on a little concerned but not a lot as they enter the dressing room halls with the scene fading out.
