I have largely been distracted from writing for a while by a lot of things. But now I am back. So time to pick up where we started. First duel of the second world grand prix.
The sun was rising on a new day shortly as both Team Xiphoen and Team Laser were preparing their duel runners for their upcoming duel.
"This should be an easy win. Let's try not to do anything crazy and show to that Torrent and Thunderstorm how strong we are." Phoenix said to Eagle Warrior and Gaia Knight.
"Newsflash Phoenix we have been dueling and fighting them to a standstill for about 3000 years now they know how strong we are." Eagle Warrior said a little annoyed.
"I guess you're right. Alright so order for when we go out?" Phoenix asked Gaia Knight.
"Alright so their order is Hyperion, Sensor, and then Zone. Hyperion focuses on spells and traps while Sensor focuses on milling his opponent's deck, and then Zone focuses on attacking with monsters." Gaia Knight said as he read the data on Team Laser.
"Alright so if that is the case then our order should go me, Phoenix and then you Gaia. My deck focuses on removing spells and traps, Phoenix's can take advantage of being milled and your deck can put some big damage into monsters." Eagle Warrior said.
"Alright then we're set. Gaia Knight send the signal to MC that we are ready to duel." Phoenix said.
"Alright sending." Gaia Knight replied.
Later at the starting area for the duel
"Alright both teams are ready to begin this duel the first two in it are Hyperion and Eagle Warrior. So let's begin revving up those engines." MC shouted with his usual excitement.
In Team Rortent's pit
"I honestly can't believe the names people are using. Phoenix and his gang aren't even trying to sound human. I mean seriously names like Hyperion, Eagle Warrior, Clown Master. What ever happened to normal names? I mean am I crazy?" Torrent started fuming.
"Well what name do you sign in under Torrent?" Thunderstorm asked while still trying to tune out Torrent.
"I signed in under the name of Richard." Torrent said.
"See that is why we don't use human names. Because when we do come up with them they are lame." Thunderstorm said extremely annoyed.
Back at the duel area.
"Gentlemen start your engines." MC shouted as the duel runners of Eagle Warrior and Hyperion started roaring. "And go. Remember the person to turn the first corner is the person who goes first in this duel." MC shouted and reminded everyone of deciding who goes first in a turbo duel on a track.
Eagle Warrior rounded the first corner thanks to both the jets he added to his duel runner and the wings on it.
In Team 5D's pit
"So that guys has wings on his duel runner as well?" Crow said surprised and impressed.

(Phoenix Glider Lvl 2 Atk:400 Def:100 Tuner, Effect: When this card is summoned deal 100 points of damage to your opponent for every card in their hand.) Now I activate the ability of Phoenix Glider so now you lose 500 life points. Next I'll use Phoenix Synchron's ability to reduce Eagle Buster's level by 1. Now I double tune Eagle Buster with Phoenix Synchron and Phoenix Glider. I synchro summon Phoenix Incarnate. (Phoenix Incarnate Lvl 10 Atk:?

"I draw. Now I use Phoenix Revolver's special ability from the graveyard. By removing him from play I gain 9 Speed Counters. Next I remove from play Phoenix Trap Setter from my grave. He now removes one trap card from the field. And if you think you can survive this attack your wrong because now Phoenix Incarnate's points are at 5200.

Gaia Knight proudly said as he wiped out his opponent in a single turn.
"Well that was certainly an incredible duel. Looks like any team who battles Team Xiphoen is in for a real thrashing. Let's see how the other teams will fare against each other tomorrow." MC said after getting over the shock of the duel.
At Team Xiphoen's Pit
"Well I would say that is a solid success both in wins and in not being too flashy." Phoenix said as he was playing the tapes of the duel.
"Those guys didn't even touch our life points." Eagle Warrior said.
"Not sure if they're that bad or if we're that good. Pretty sure it is that we're that good." Gaia Knight said trying to lighten the mood.
At Team Rortent's Pit
"Amateurs. They are clearly new to synchro summoning." Thunderstorm said as he watched the data the robot had gathered.
