Hey there everyone. Well, this weekend was pretty cool, and it all started on Friday night. My mate came home when I was talking to my dad and waved a paper in front of me. I was like, what? She then told me that she got a second job she had applied for, meaning things had changed yet again with her job situation, lol. Once I got off the phone, we talked it over, trying to figure out the pros and cons of each job. In the end, she wasn't sure still, so I told her to think about it. Saturday, I went and visited my grandmother, where my mom and uncle form Tennessee was for the weekend. They had come in for a visit and were leaving today (Monday). I spent the day with them and grandpa, who was doing pretty well. He was sleepy, but had a decent day. I finally left and decided to go back Sunday. Anyways, came home, and after a while my mate came home. She told me she decided on the second job she got, which is a job with the state department. They have great benefits, and decent pay (not the best, but decent). With this choice, we don't have to move since it's closer to home, plus we can stick around till our lease runs out in April, meaning we'll get our deposit back too. Once April approaches, we can decide if we wish to move or not. Other than that, yesterday was pretty cool at my grandmother's again. I was surprised to hear the Patriots lost, but oh well. It happens, lol.

Writing wise, eh, I've been slow this weekend and part of last week. I should be able to get into the swing of things this week though. Once I finish up a chapter in Another, I have plans to work hard on MtM. Btw, I began posting Another this past Friday, and plan on putting a chapter out every Tuesday or Thursday. Just depends on when I've got time. Actually, on second thought, make that Wednesday now that FG is winding down.

Last time, Illidan made a comeback and pushed Jaden back a great bit, but Jaden is mounting his own comeback by summoning up Elemental Hero Tempest. Can Jaden win this duel, or is he being set up for a big loss?

Alright, time for reviews!

x-knight20: Thanks. Yep, you were number 500, lol. The end is coming, slowly, lol. Who will win, well, only three people know that answer right now, hehe. Thanks for the review.

Ultimate Legendary Master: Yeah, he could beat Silent Magician, but I think he knows how Cerberus works, so he may try to weaken it first. Well, that sucks that the link isn't working… I guess I could email it to you. Send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you that way if you want. Yeah, the story has to end sometime or another, lol, cute pun. Thanks for the review!

Knives91: LOL! Yeah, so Marie thinks, hehe. Heh, Jaden isn't making things easy, that much is for sure. Thanks for the review!

sirbj: Yep, Jaden still leads, but with Illidan closing, not for long. Yeah, I'm sure he's trying to figure out how to get rid of two powerhouses. True, it would be funny if it ends in a tie I suppose, lol. Thanks for the review!

JudaiAsuka-fan: Thanks. Heh, the moves are easy to think up, once I figured out what I wanted to do, lol. True, both Mariah and Bastion have points, but who is right, no idea. It's possible Illidan could win due that Marie said that… But you never know, hehe. True, I haven't finished up with the next story. Lol, me and ardee are working on it though. We'll get there, eventually, lol. Thanks for the review!

DuelistBlake1852: Yeah, he should probably get rid of Silent Magician first, but Cerberus is dangerous and can be weakened. True, Silent Magician is possibly a bigger threat due that he's immune to Jaden's spells. Yes, I did kind of realize Silent Magician LV4's effect after I saw your comment. I remembered it acts like Solemn Wishes, in which you only gain 500 per each draw, not for each card drawn. Heh, I was looking at the show's effect I bet when I said that (Yami got schooled by Yugi with that effect, lol). True, Shining Flare Wingman and Tempest are tough, but Illidan has beaten Shining Flare Wingman, and all that remains is Tempest. I think he can handle it… Yeah, I don't plan on quitting writing anytime soon. Too much to still write about, lol. True, I wouldn't be anywhere without this site. I posted on a set of Yugioh forums previously, but that got old. Glad you get to update your story too. LOL! That is crazy about the chapter's length without a duel, but then again, I'm finding that out in Another, lol. Thanks about my mate. She's happy, lol. Thanks for the review!

Well, that's all of them for this time around. Thank you all for your reviews. I'm glad to see all of your comments and questions. Btw, just so everyone knows, I'm going to post this chapter today and then one on Friday since this thing is nearly over, then do the same next week. Next Friday will be the end, unfortunately. At any rate,Another will be posted on Wednesday for now, so anyone interested, go ahead and check it out.

Thanks everyone for everything, and I hope you all like this chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 90

"Tempest, take down Illidan's Cerberus with Glider Strike!" Jaden called out with his hand pointed at the blue and purple dog creature.

Leaping into the air, the green haired warrior brought his right arm forward and aimed his blaster arm at the dog creature. White energy instantly began to fill the end of the blaster while the warrior made sure his aim was true. With perfect aim, the warrior launched the blast from his blaster hand straight for the blue and purple creature.

"Not happening this turn Jaden! I play my trap, Spellbinding Circle!" Illidan called out while pointing at his trap card.

A large a green circle with strange golden symbols with formed on the top, left, right, and bottom formed, with a white question mark like symbol in the center appeared above Illidan's side of the field. The circle without warning quickly flew across the field and flipped up so it could absorb the blast. Upon making contact, the blast fizzled out and the circle continued on till it wrapped around the green haired warrior, making him cry out in pain as it squeezed him.

"Tempest, no!" Jaden cried out.

Slightly smirking, Illidan remarked "Too bad you didn't check my field Jaden. Now thanks to Spellbinding Circle, Tempest can't attack or switch his mode. He's just a big bull's-eye now."

Lightly growling with frustration, Jaden said "I'll throw down a face down and end my turn." (Illidan 1000, Jaden 2900)

Picking up a new card, Illidan slightly smiled. "Tempest might be stronger than one of my monsters right now, but he won't be for long. I activate the equip spell Mage Power! This let's me raise my Silent Magician's points by 500 per a spell or trap in my spell/trap zone. Since I have two, that means he gains a grand (3500 500 2 4500/1000 500 2 2000)."

The white mage's body instantaneously began to glow with a bright white aura. While it did this, he let out a low growl before smirking with his new power.

"Since I also played a spell card, Cerberus gets stronger also (3900 500 4400/1400)."

The blue and purple dog creature lightly glowed with a dark purple aura as the flames on it's body seemed to rise once more.

"Cerberus, attack Tempest with Mythical Pounce!"

Roaring, the dog creature leapt into the air and slammed into the green haired warrior, who screamed out as he tried desperately to hold the creature back.

"Tempest isn't going anywhere, because I play his effect! By banishing a card from my field, he can stick around. I'll give up my face down Transcendent Wings, allowing Tempest to survive this shot." Jaden quickly called out.

The face down card instantly rose up and slowly dissolved away. The green haired warrior instantly glowed lightly upon this and knocked the dog creature up into the air and off of himself.

Lightly chuckling, Illidan remarked "True, you can save Tempest, but not your life points. You still take Battle Damage."

Hearing a growl, Jaden looked up to find the dog creature diving towards him. It slammed it's weight into him, knocking him back a bit. The dog then retreated to Illidan's field and let out a soft growl.

"Of course, Cerberus lost all his extra points when he attacked (1400/1400), but that's alright for now. Silent Magician, you're up! Take it to Tempest with Silent Scepter Blast!"

Glancing over his shoulder, the mage nodded and leapt into the air. Pointing his staff straight at the green haired warrior, the mage released a sphere of pure white magical energy that crackled while traveling down it's path straight for the warrior.

Grinding his teeth a bit, Jaden called out at the last moment "I activate Tempest's special ability again! I'll get rid of Skyscraper to keep him alive (3800 – 1000 2800/2800)."

Upon saying those words, the large buildings surrounding the field and the blacktop on it vanished. The green haired warrior glowed once more with a white glow. The blast impacted him, but the warrior managed to knock the blast away with the help of the white glow. With him knocking it away, the warrior accidentally threw it in Jaden's direction, who screamed out in pain as he fell to one knee upon impact.

"That will do it for me." (Illidan 1000, Jaden 600)

"Jaden…" Alexis mumbled with great concern on her face.

"Why bother worrying about that loser Alexis?" Chazz grumbled.

Throwing a death glare at Chazz, Alexis angrily remarked "Shut up Chazz!"

Crossing his arms, Chazz mumbled something lightly under his breath, making Alexis even angrier.

"Chill out you guys. The Serge needs our support right now!" Hasselberry piped up.

Sighing, Alexis nodded. "You're right." she concurred.

Looking down at the field, she silently said "Jaden, you can do this, I know you can. Just hang in there a little longer."

On the field, Jaden slowly rose back up and slowed his breathing. "Pretty sweet move Professor Illidan." he cheerfully commented.

Drawing a card, he added "But this duel isn't over! I'll throw down a face down and that's it." (Illidan 1000, Jaden 600)

Picking up his new card, Illidan placed it calmly within his left hand, saying "End this now Silent Magician! Attack Tempest with Silent Scepter Blast!"

Leaping up into the air, the mage took aim once more at the green haired warrior. Powerful white glowing magical energy formed a sphere at the end of his staff that crackled loudly. The blast was soon let go and sent sailing straight for the warrior, seemingly signing his death.

Pointing at his face down card, Jaden hurriedly said "Not happening because I play a spell card! Go De-Fusion, separate Tempest!"

Just as the blast was about to hit, the green hair warrior summoned up all of his strength. In a display of inhuman power, he broke the golden circle that had held him and glowed brightly. Moments later, the blast hit, but three beams of light shot out from it. Upon landing on the field, three warriors appeared. The first was the blue and gold armored warrior with a strange helmet that covered all of his head. The next one was the white caped warrior with a water blaster attached to his right hand. Finally, the green furred warrior appeared. All three took up crouching positions, each with their arms crossed.

"Thanks to De-Fusion, I may have lost Tempest, but I got back Elemental Heroes Sparkman (1600/1400), Bubbleman (800/1200), and Avian (1000/1000), which I've placed in defense mode. The next sweet part of splitting apart is since Tempest is gone, your Spellbinding Circle is too, meaning your mage gets weaker (4500 – 500 4000/2000 – 500 1500). Plus, your attack missed, meaning your mage is useless to you for the rest of the turn." Jaden explained.

Lightly chuckling, Illidan nodded, saying "Well done, but you helped me out. Don't forget, when you played your spell, you strengthened Cerberus again (1400 500 1900/1400). And he can still attack. Go, take down Bubbleman! Mythical Pounce!"

Rushing forward, the large blue and purple dog leapt into the air and came crashing down onto the white caped warrior. He only screamed out in pain as he shattered, leaving only two warriors behind.

"Unfortunately, Cerberus get's a bit weaker (1400/1400), but he'll manage. I'll place a card face down (4000 500 4500/1500 500 2000) to end my turn." (Illidan 1000, Jaden 600)

Nodding, Jaden calmly drew and smiled at his new card. "Sweet move there last turn Professor Illidan, but it's my turn to take it to you. First up, the spell Spy Hero! To activate this card, I have to first toss out the top two cards on my deck."

Picking up two cards, Jaden gently placed them within the Graveyard Slot, which simply sucked the cards in. "Next, my Spy Hero cuts in and uses his super stealth to take a random spell card from your Graveyard."

A shadowy figure that was barely visible except for a a red H on his chest appeared in front of Jaden, but instantly vanished into the background.

"Not bad Jaden, but don't forget Cerberus gets stronger now (1400 500 1900/1400)." Illidan commented. He then suddenly felt a tug on his Duel Disk. Glancing down, he saw the shadowy figure's hand reach into his Graveyard Slot and fling a spell card at Jaden.

Expertly catching it, Jaden smiled, saying "Thanks Illidan, you're the best! I just got Pot of Greed, meaning two new cards for me."

"No problem, but remember, each spell strengthens Cerberus (1900 500 2400/1400)." Illidan calmly reminded.

Quickly grabbing two cards, Jaden grinned largely. "No biggy. Now I'll hook up my Sparkman with the equip spell Spark Blaster!"

A light glow appeared above the blue and gold warrior who glanced up. The glow soon died down and a blaster weapon dropped into the blue and gold warrior's right hand.

"It's nice of you to keep playing all these spells Jaden. Cerberus really likes it (2400 500 2900/1400)." Illidan chided.

Chuckling, Jaden remarked "Glad you like it, because I'm about to use that against you. I switch Sparkman into attack mode."

Standing up, the blue and gold armored warrior took up an offensive stance while the horizontal card image below him shattered.

"Let me show you right quick what Spark Blaster can do. It has three shots that allow me to switch the mode of any monster on the field. Sparkman, switch Cerberus to defense!"

Aiming his blaster at the blue and purple dog creature, the warrior fired a blast of electrical energy. The blast struck the dog creature, making it snarl while it slowly shifted into a defensive stance. A horizontal card image instantly formed under it, signifying the switch.

Lightly gasping, Illidan began to say something, but was cut off by Jaden calling out "Sparkman, attack Cerberus with Static Shockwave!"

Extending his left arm towards the dog creature, the warrior began pouring electrical bolts of energy out of his palm. The bolts struck the dog creature, making it howl in pain while Illidan covered his face from the small explosion that ensued from the dog's destruction.

"Next, I'll use Spark Blaster to put Sparkman back into defense."

Aiming the blaster at the ground, the blue and gold armored warrior fired a shot and instantly went back into a one knee stance with his arms crossed. The horizontal card image instantly formed under him once he was in position.

"To end, I'll summon Necro Guardna (600/1300) in defense."

A warrior dressed in grey, maroon, and black armor with long white hair that fell to his knees. His armor was spiked, and seemingly built to catch attacks. He instantly took up a kneeling position and crossed his arms. (Illidan 1000, Jaden 600)

"Back to me then." Illidan coolly said while picking up a card. Examining it, he slightly smirked. "I'll play this, my Graceful Charity! This allows me to pick up three more cards, but I have to discard two when I'm done."

Grabbing three cards, Illidan carefully examined them for a moment before picking two and placing them into his Graveyard Slot. "I'll discard Magical Scientist and Magician's Valkyrie. Next up, I activate Card of Sanctity! This spell let's both of us to draw till we hold six cards in our hands."

Both Jaden and Illidan simultaneously drew cards, with Illidan getting six and Jaden five. Looking over his new cards, Illidan smiled. "This duel ends here Jaden. I remove from my Graveyard both Magical Scientist and Magician's Valkyrie in order to special summon another of my Chaos monsters! Rise up Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500)!"

Emerging onto the field was a warrior in black ebony shiny armor with a mixture of gold trim, a black helmet, with a bronze colored sword in his right hand and a powerful black and gold shield in his left let out a small battle cry.

"I'm not done yet, for I summon another monster, my Skilled White Magician (1700/1900)!"

A mage in white robes and cloak with a white hood, a staff, and three half spheres, with one on each shoulder, and one on his chest appeared onto the field. Swinging his staff about into an offensive stance, the mage let out a small battle cry.

"Time to end this Jaden! Black Luster Soldier, cut down his Avian with Chaos Slash!"

Rushing forward with nearly blinding speed, the black armored warrior slashed through the green fur warrior, who only let out a gasp of agony as he slid apart in two pieces. He soon exploded into millions of pieces, leaving Jaden to cover his face from the sheer wind force.

"I activate Black Luster Soldier's special ability! Since he destroyed a monster, he can now attack again. Go, cut down his Sparkman with Chaos Slash!"

Moving across the field in a flash once more, the black armored warrior made quick work of the blue and gold armored warrior, who only cried out in pain when slashed across the chest. The warrior soon exploded, leaving only one more warrior to defend Jaden.

"Eliminate the last of his defenses Skilled White Magician! Skilled White Magic Attack!"

Twirling his scepter in front of his body, the white robed mage finally stopped his staff that was now aimed at the final warrior. A blast of white magical energy instantly went flying across the field and slammed into the warrior in grey and maroon armor. The warrior let out a loud cry before finally shattering into pieces.

"Good game Jaden, but it's over. Silent Magician, you know what to do! Direct attack!"

Leaping into the air, the white robed mage with silver hair took aim and fired a large blast of white magical energy. The blast was straight on course for Jaden, making everyone in the crowd gasp in shock.

"I'm not done yet Illidan!" Jaden loudly declared. Holding his hand over his Graveyard Slot, he cried out "I activate Necro Guardna's special effect! By removing him from play, I can now negate your attack!"

Reappearing in a spirit form, the heavily armored warrior placed himself in front of Jaden and took the full hit head on. The blast exploded upon contact, but the image of the warrior remained. He then vanished, leaving Jaden completely unscathed.

Smirking at the development, Illidan calmly said "Nice move Jaden. I should have known you had a trick up your sleeve yet. I'll place this card face down (4500 500 5000/2000 500 2500) and give you a shot." (Illidan 1000, Jaden 600)

"That was close." Syrus said with a little sigh of relief.

"Too close if you ask me soldier." Hasselberry added.

Nodding, Alexis said "If Jaden hopes to win, he's going to have to pull out all the stops."

"I concur. At the rate Illidan keeps attacking, things just keep getting worse. Jaden needs to find a way to neutralize Illidan, and soon." Bastion commented.

"He'd better do it soon. I heard from my parents that hardly anyone survived whenever Illidan kept his Chaos monsters out for very long." Mariah interjected.

Mentally chuckling at the group, Marie stared down at Illidan. "Keep fighting my love. You're almost there."

Letting out a small chuckle, Jaden said "Nice moves Illidan. Man, this duel is everything I hoped it would be and then some!"

Smiling, Illidan calmly remarked "Glad you are having a good time as well. I haven't enjoyed a duel like this in quite some time."

"Then let's keep going!" Jaden called out while picking up a new card. "I play the spell Convert Contract, which is a very sweet spell. I send one Neo-Spacian from my hand to the Graveyard, plus another from my deck. I can then draw two cards. My choices are Neo-Spacian Dark Panther from my hand, and Neo-Spacian Glow Moss from my deck."

Placing the first card from his left hand into his Graveyard Slot, Jaden then pulled out his deck and found the other monster card. He soon placed it into the slot as well and placed his deck back into it's slot. Drawing two cards, he examined them and smiled.

"Not bad Jaden, but don't forget, each time you play a spell, my Skilled White Magician gains a Spell Counter." Illidan reminded.

The button on the white mage's left shoulder instantly glowed to life, showing that he had incurred a small bit of strength.

Waving Illidan off, Jaden excitedly said "Yeah, true, he gets a counter, but that won't matter soon. I just drew this cool card, which may sound weird, but I play Cocoon Party! For each Neo-Spacian chilling out in my Graveyard, I get to special summon a monster with the word 'Chrysalis' in it. I'll pick these two, Chrysalis Larva (300/300) and Chrysalis Mole (700/100)."

Materializing onto the field were two pink bubbles. The first held a mostly yellow with red on it's back, green eyed caterpillar like creature. The other held a small light brown mole creature with blue eyes and three clawed hands and feet. Upon the creatures arriving, the button on the white mage's shoulder instantly glowed to life.

"Cute, aren't they?" Jaden teased.

Smirking, Illidan replied "They might be cute, but I have a feeling they won't stay that way."

"Right you are Illidan. They grow up so fast these days." Jaden commented. "And here is how they'll get older! I play the field spell Neo Space!"

Placing the card into the end of his Duel Disk, Jaden watched as the Duel Disk glowed with a rainbow arc of power. Without warning, the entire area surrounding the field became rainbow colored, as if the sky had and the ground had turned into nothing but the multicolor background. Once the field had fully come together, the button on the white mage's chest glowed to life, show that he had all three buttons lit up.

"In here, Neos and all his forms gets a 500 attack point boost." Jaden explained. "Plus, by sacrificing my Chrysalis Larva and Chrysalis Mole, I can special summon their adult forms! Bathe in the power of Neo Space and become Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500/500) and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (900/300)!"

Both pink bubbles instantly shimmered brightly. The first caught a blaze while the other earth formed around it. The flames soon died down, revealing a bug like warrior that had wings on his back, covered by a thick hide, a chiseled body, a helmet that appeared to be like a horned beetle, and a human like face that extended to his neck. Beside of him, the earth formed bubble dissolved, revealing a light brownish-orange mole like creature with drill like shoulder pads and sharp clawed hands and feet.

"Let's not forget Flare Scarab's special ability. For every spell and trap on your field, he gains 400 attack points, and last time I counted, you had three (500 400 3 1700/500)!"

Clenching both his fists, the bug warrior let out a small grunt as flames erupted around his body. After a few moments of the flames licking his body, they dissipated, revealing the warrior had strengthened a bit.

"Next, I activate a little spell known as Fake Hero! This let's me special summon an Elemental Hero from my hand for just this turn. And the one I pick is the one and only Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000)!"

Above the field, a flash of light appeared, and suddenly a powerful white warrior with a slicked back horn on his head and spikes coming out from his elbow joints appeared. He had a bit of red lining on his body, along with a bit of blue as well. On his chest was a blue circle.

"And don't forget, Neo Space makes Neos stronger by 500 points (2500 500 3000/2000)."

Lightly glowing with rainbow energy, the white warrior took up a fighting stance, as if he was ready at any moment to fight.

"Next, I activate Elemental Hero Necroshade's special effect. Once per the duel, I'm allowed to normal summon an Elemental Hero from my hand without a sacrifice while Necroshade is chillin out in the Grave. And now, give a big welcome to Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600/1800)!"

Upon Jaden slapping the card to his Duel Disk, a large golden warrior with rippling biceps and legs, a set of sharp blades jutting out from his elbows, and a pair of blade like short wings on his back appeared onto the field.

"Time for some Contact Fusion!" Jaden declared. Nodding towards the white warrior, the bug warrior, and the light brown mole, he called out "Neos, Flare Scarab, and Grand Mole, merge together now to form…"

All three monsters instantly leapt into the air, with the mole and the bug warrior flying on each side of the white warrior. Slowly, the two moved closer to the white warrior till finally a flash of white light formed when the three touched together. From the blinding white light formed a new warrior that wore thick olive armor on his body, had a set of bug like wings on his back, a molten left hand and a mole like right hand, the bug warrior's head, and had a flaming aura surrounding his body.

Pointing at his new monster, Jaden cried out "… Elemental Hero Magma Neos (3000/2500)!"

Illidan wearily eyed the monster, saying "I bet there is more to him than meets the eye."

"Correct you are Professor Illidan!" Jaden replied. "Magma Neos comes with some sweet effects! For every card on the field, he gains 400 attack points."

"Wait, 400 per a card!?" Illidan exclaimed in shock.

Nodding, Jaden remarked "That's right. Since you have six cards on your field, and I have three so far on mine, Neos gains a whooping 2700 extra attack points (3000 2700 5700/2500)! Plus, my Neo Space field card grants him an additional 500 attack points (5700 500 6200/2500)."

The large warrior instantly burst into flames as his strength continued to increase. Once the flames died down, a multicolored aura surrounded him, increasing his strength even more.

"Let's finish this duel Neos! Attack Black Luster Soldier with Meteor Meltdown!"

Leaping into the air, the large warrior turned his molten left hand towards the black armored warrior. Flames began to form into a sphere that sent out waves of heat. Without hesitation, the warrior threw his sphere straight for the black armored warrior, who only stood vigilant.

Slightly smirking, Illidan called out "Not happening Jaden! Go De-Fusion! Sure, Silent Magician gets a bit weaker (5000 – 500 4500/2000), but it's worth it since I can split your Magma Neos apart, thus stopping his attack! Plus, since Magma Neos was formed by Contact Fusion, the monsters that you used to form him are back in your deck, meaning when De-Fusion sends Magma Neos back to your Fusion Deck, you'll get no new monsters!"

The spell card instantly sent a wave of energy straight for the large heavily armored warrior. The wave tore through the sphere of flames, easily putting it out, and continued on for a direct course with the large warrior.

"Nice move Illidan, but I'm not letting Neos go that easily. I play the quick play spell Contact Out! This acts like De-Fusion, but is made for Neos specifically. I return Magma Neos to my Fusion Deck, but I'm allowed to special summon the monsters I used to form Magma Neos back from my deck. So welcome back Elemental Hero Neos (3000/2000), Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500 400 2 1300/500), and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (900/300)!" Jaden declared.

The large heavily armored warrior instantly glowed and split apart into three beams of light at the last second before the energy wave from the other spell card could hit it. From the three beams came the powerful white warrior, the bug warrior, and the light brown mole creature.

"Neos, take down Skilled White Magician with Cosmic Crush!"

Leaping into the air, the white warrior pulled back his right arm and sent blue energy flaring up to his fist. He was quickly beginning his descent towards the white robed mage, who slightly looked unsure of what to do.

Pointing at his face down card, Illidan quickly said "Not happening Jaden! I play the trap Ready for Intercepting! Sure, Silent Magician loses another 500 points, but it's worth it (4000/1500). This trap let's me take one of my Spellcasters and flip them into face down defense mode. And guess what, I'm using this on Skilled White Magician, so Neos no longer has a target!"

The white robed mage instantly moved to a one knee stance with his arms crossed and a horizontal card image underneath of him appeared. He then vanished and just a face down horizontal card image remained. The white warrior who had been inbound instantly came to a screeching halt and leapt back to his original side of the field.

Smirking, Jaden calmly said "Not bad Illidan. That was a slick move, but you're not getting off that easy! Go Bladedge, attack his face down mage now with Slice and Dice Attack!"

Letting out a small screech, the golden warrior leapt forward and began flying at breakneck speed towards the horizontal card image. With movements so fast that no one saw what happened, the warrior slashed the card image in half, causing it to explode.

"Oh yeah, one thing about Bladedge, he has a very awesome special ability. When he attacks a monster in defense, the difference in his attack points and your monster's defense points come out of your life points, or in other words, some sweet Trample effect!"

Gasping in shock, Illidan didn't have time to react to the golden warrior, who instantly slashed him across the chest with his large blade arm. Illidan instantly fell to one knee, grasping his chest and panting heavily.

"Before I call it a turn, I'll use Contact Fusion once again, so go and fuse together again into Elemental Hero Magma Neos (3000/2500)!"

Leaping into the air simultaneously, the bug warrior, light brown mole, and the white warrior merged together, recreating the large heavily armored warrior.

"Now that Magma Neos is back, his effect kicks in. He once more gains 400 points per a card on the field (3000 400 6 5400/2500). Plus, he gains another 500 thanks to Neo Space (5400 500 5900/2500)."

Upon hearing Jaden's words, the large heavy armored warrior burst into flames as his power increased. Once the flames died down, the warrior began to glow with a rainbow colored energy, instantly increasing his strength a bit more.

"To end, I'll throw down a face down (5900 400 6300/2500) and end my turn." (Illidan 300, Jaden 600)
