After taking some time to decide which chapters I would add in my stories and I chose to add this one. I like to keep my chapters short but no less than one thousand words.

It was Shin's opponents turn. He drew a card from his deck. Shin hoped his opponent didn't have a card that would destroy his face downs because he needed them when his opponent attacked. " I summon Goblin Attack Force (2300/0)."

A blue portal appeared beside the Goblin Elite Attack Force. Goblin Attack Force was filled with green goblins just like Goblin Elite Attack Force. The goblins in Goblin Attack Force were wearing construction hats and wore a yellow jacket covering their purple shirts. The Goblin Attack Force carried bludgeons.

" Goblin Elite Attack Force, attack his Rai Rider!" Goblin Elite Attack Force pound their grotesque green hands against their silver armor. The Goblin Elite Attack Force raised their spears and threw them at Rai Rider. Rai Rider was visceral when it came to taking damage. He tried dodging the bombardment driving to the left and right. He made one wrong move and their spears impaled him. Rai Rider dispersed from the duel field. " Now Goblin Attack Force, attack his Goblindbergh!"

Stranger: 4000

Shin: 2600

If Goblin Attack Force destroyed Goblindbergh Shin would be defenceless. If the next card he drew was a Spell or Trap card he would lose. If the monster's defence was less than 2400 he would be dead. That was the thing about playing a card game; strategy, luck, and timing were needed to make a good strategy. Goblin Attack Force struck Goblindbergh. Goblin Attack force shattered on contact.

Stranger: 3900

Shin: 2600

" What happened?" The stranger freaked and jerked his head to his Duel Disk. The gauge read 3900. " How could my monster possibly be beaten? It had more attack points than yours?"

" Hehehehe." Shin snickered at the duelists confusion. " Kwahahaha! I just used a little quick-Spell called Ego Boost. When a monster on my side of the field is attacked my monster gains 1000 ATK points."

" You saying your monster got 1000 extra attack points?"

" That's right. And in case your bad at Math that gave my Goblindbergh 2400 ATK points. So your 2300 Goblin Attack Force didn't stand a chance."

" Your spell only temporarily boosts your monsters attack points, and by the end of this turn that power boost will fade. My Goblin Attack Force will return and he will destroy your monsters. And since my Final Attack Orders is still in play, you cannot defend yourself. I end my turn."

Shin drew his destiny card. His destiny would let him know if he was destined to win this duel or not. He needed a Level 4 monster if he wanted to perform his Xyz Summon. Shin took a deep breath so he wouldn't be so nervous and drew the top card of his deck.

" Yes. I Summon Gagaga Magician (1500/1000)." A blue portal appeared beside Goblindbergh. Shin didn't know if Gagaga Magician was Dark Magician's son, grandson, great-grandson, or his protégé. He wore clothes similar to Dark Magician with his hat tipped and a bandana covering his mouth. " I'm going to show you an Xyz monster you've never seen before. I use my level four Goblindbergh and my level four Gagaga Magician to summon East Beast Holden!"

Goblindbergh and Gagaga Magician turned from monsters into two orange balls orbiting around the monster about to be formed. The monster Shin summoned was a bat-vulture hybrid. It's head and wings were those of a bat, the rest of his body were ruffled yellow feathers. Its serpent eyes looked at Shin's opponents. The opponent looked at Shin's monsters attack points and laughed.

" It has zero attack points! You wasted two very good defences for this worthless monster. It's too bad you can't defend from my Final Attack Orders."

Shin snickered. His opponent looked in concern furrowed an eyebrow. " My plan was never to use Holden to defend. He has a very rare ability. I end my turn."

The opponent drawn one card from the top of his deck. Something was wrong. His opponent didn't waver from certainty when he achieved that useless Xyz monster.

" It must be his face down. He's using that monster to mock me, and he will use Mirror Force. He won't be laughing when I destroy his Mirror Force." His opponent summoned another Goblin monster to his side of the field. The goblins were black ops operative with assassin weapons. " I play Mystical Space Typhoon. I can destroy one Spell or Trap card on the field."

A blue cyclone moved through the field and ripped through Shin's Spell card. Blustering Winds was destroyed by his opponents' card. The only card left on Shin's field was his Xyz monster. However, Shin looked at his opponent with a sneaky snicker.

" My mother was the matriarch of this deck. She told me in order to win a duel you had to think more steps ahead than your opponent, use perfect strategies, and always have a good counter."

" Tell your mother I don't care. I play the Warrior Returning Alive. I return one Warrior-type monster from my Graveyard into my hand." Goblin Attack Force popped out of his opponents Graveyard. His opponent added that card to his hand. " Next comes my Spell card Double Summon. Once during this duel I can summon another monster from my hand. I summon Goblin Attack Force (2300/0)."

Shin's opponent field was three dangerous goblins. Each one laughed menacing at Shin's weak attack point monster. Shin's monster stared at them uneasy.

" I attack directly with Goblin Black Ops (1300/0)."

The team of black ops goblins disappeared in a flash. They appeared in front of Shin. Their blades cut through Shin's stomach. The pain was only virtually.

Shin: 1300

Opponent: 3900

Shin's opponent could feel victory glimmer in his eyes like hope. After that last humiliating defeat from Shin, his opponent was going to show Shin who the alpha duelist was.

" Goblin Attack Force, destroy his monster and finish him!"

Goblin Attack Force jumped towards Shin's monster and hit his bludgeon directly into his head. Goblin Attack Force should have wiped Shin's monster and plummet his Life Points to zero. Goblin Attack Force really destroyed his orb and Shin's Life Points didn't drop any lower.

" My East Beast Holden's special ability: when it would be destroyed I can remove a xyz material from him to negate his destruction and the damage I take is zero. After I take the damage, I can draw one card." Shin drew the top card of his deck. He found the card he needed. All he needed to do was draw one more card and his strategy would be complete. " Go ahead. Will you attack again knowing your next attack is pointless? You would probably finish me off next with that Goblin Black Ops, but are you sure you want me to keep Holden?"
