Chapter 8: Winds of Courage vs Flames of Reincarnation

A/N: Speed duels are actually harder to write because of the small Extra Deck space. So for this fic, they follow Master Duel's limit: 15. But considering how I write duels, it may increase further in future.

Turn 1: Soulburner (4000 LP, 4 Cards)

Soulburner normal summons Salamangreat Coyote (1000/200) and activates Salamangreat Fowl's effect, special summoning itself to field (1800/200). Soulburner uses Coyote Link Summon Link 1 Salmangreat Balelynx (500). Balelynx's effect when Link Summoned adds Salamangreat Sanctuary from deck to hand. Soulburner uses Balelynx and Fowl to Link Summon Salamangreat Link 2 Sunlight Wolf (1800). Soulburner activates Salamangreat Circle to add Salamangrat Mole to hand. Soulburner activates Sanctuary from hand and uses its effect, he uses Sunlight wolf to Reincarnation Link Summon Sunlight Wolf. Since Sunlight Wolf was reincarnation link summoned, he adds circle back to his hand from GY. Since Soulburner Link summoned this turn, he special summons Mole (0/0) in Sunlight wolf's link arrow. Sunlight Wolf's effect activates, he adds a copy of Sunlight wolf back to Extra deck.

Soulburner sets Circle, Salamangreat Rage and ends his turn. (4000 LP, 0 cards)

Turn 2: Zephyr (4000 LP, 4 Cards)

Zephyr draws and Special Summons Speedroid Terrortop (1200/600) since Zephyr does not control any monsters and activates its effect, adding Speedroid Taketomborg to hand. Since Zephyr controls a Wind monster, A sumons Taketomborg (600/1200) and activates it's effect, tributing itself to summon Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice (300/1500) from deck.

At this moment, Soulburner activates Rage and targets Sunlight Wolf that is Reincarnation Link Summoned. He destroys Terrortop and Tri-Eyed Dice.

Zephyr activates Windwitch - Ice Bell's (1000/1000) effect since he controls no monsters, summoning itself and then summoning Windwitch - Glass Bell (1500/1500) from the deck. Glass Bell's effet activates, Zephyr adds Windwitch - Snow Bell from deck to hand. Since Zephyr controls 2 or more WIND monsters and no non-WIND monsters, Snow bell (100/100) Special summons itself from hand. Zephyr tunes Level 3 Ice Bell to Level 4 Glass Bell to Synchro Summon Clear Wing Fast Dragon (2500/2000).

Fast Dragon's effect activates, targeting the Reincarnation Link Summoned Sunlight Wolf, negating it's effect and setting it's ATK to 0 but Soulburner activates Circle targeting Sunlight Wolf, this turn, Sunlight Wolf is unaffected by monster effects except its own. Zephyr tunes Level 7 Clear Wing with Level 1 Ice Bell to Synchro Summon Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon (3000/2500). Since Ice Bell is used as a synchro material, Crystal Wing cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Zephyr sets Dichroic Mirror, Call by the Haunted and declares battle. Crystal Wing attacks Sunlight Wolf. Soulburner banishes Balelynx from GY to negate the destruction. (Soulburner: 4000 - 2800).
Zephyr ends his turn. (4000 LP, 1 card)

Turn 3: Soulburner (2800 LP, 0 card)

Soulburner draws and Normal Summons Salamangreat Gazelle (1500/1000) and activates its effect, sending Salamangreat Spinny from deck to GY. He activates Spinny's (1000/1500) effect from GY, special summoning itself but it banishes itself when it leaves the field. Soulburner overlays Level 3 Spinny and Gazelle to Xyz Summon Salamangreat Miragestallio (2000/900, OL: 2) into Sunlight Wolf's Link Arrow. Sunlight Wolf's effect activates but Crystal Wing activates, negating and destroying Sunlight Wolf. And then Crystal Wing gains the ATK equal to the ATK of Sunlight Wolf (Crystal Wing ATK: 3000 - 4800). Miragestallio's effect activates, by detaching spinny (OL: 2 - 1), he Special Summons Salamangreat Jack Jaguar (1800/1200) from the deck in defence position. Soulburner uses Jack Jaguar and Miragestallio to Link Summon Link 2 Sunlight Wolf.

Miragestallio's effect activates when used as Link material, returning Crystal Wing to Extra Deck but Zephyr chains with Dichroic Mirror targeting Crystal Wing and Sunlight Wolf. On resolution, Sunlight Wolf's effect is negated and destroyed and Crystal Wing gains ATK equal to Sunlight Wolf's ATK (Crystal Wing ATK: 4800 - 6600). Crystal Wing is returned to Extra Deck.

Soulburner activates his skill: Burning Draw. He pays all but 100 LP (Soulburner LP: 2800 - 100) to draw cards for every 1000 LP paid. So Soulburner draws 2 cards (Salamangreat Racoon and Rising Fire).

Soulburner uses Mole to Link Summon Balelynx (500). Balelynx's effect activates, adding Santuary to hand. Then he activates Rising Fire, Speical Summoning Sunlight Wolf from GY and it gains 500 ATK (Sunlight Wolf Atk: 1800 - 2300). He activates the effect of Santuary to Reincarnation Link Summon Sunlight Wolf. Sunlight Wolf's effect activates, returning Circle back to hand.

Clear Wing's effect activates, negating Heatleo's effect and setting its ATK to 0 (Heatleo's ATK: 2300 - 0).

Zephyr declares battle and attacks Heatleo with Clear Wing. Soulburner activates Salamangreat Racoon's effect from hand since Heatleo is targeted for an attack, he sends Racoon to GY to target Clear Wing and Heatleo. Soulburner gains LP equal to Clear Wing's ATK (Soulburner: 100 - 2600) and for this turn only, Heatleo cannot be destroyed by battle (Soulburner: 2600 - 100).

Soulburner declares battle and attacks Clear Wing with Pyro Phoenix. Clear Wing's effect activates, setting Pyro Phoenix's ATK to 0 (Pyro Phoenix's ATK: 2800 - 0) and negating its effect. Soulburner then chains this with Salamangreat Transcendence. He uses Pyro Phoenix to Reincarnation Link Summon Pyro Phoenix (2800). Pyro Phoenix's effect when Reincarnation Link Summoned activates, destroying all cards Zephyr controls. Clear Wing, Passinglider and Dominobutterfly is destroyed. Since Fast Dragon leaves the field, Speedroid's Storm Special Summons Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (2500/2000) and it's effects are replaced to Speedroid's Storm's effect. Pyro Phoenix attacks Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Zephyr: 4000 - 3700). Since Clear Wing is about to be destroyed, Speedroid's Storm destroys Pyro Phoenix instead. Since a Salamangreat Link Monster is destroyed, Zebroid X's effect activates in the hand, targeting Jack Jaguar from the GY and special summoning Jack Jaguar and itself and then uses both level 4 Jack Jaguar and Zebroid X's to Xyz Summon Salamangreat Blaze Dragon (2300/1200, OL: 2). Since Zebroid X is used as an Xyz material, Blaze dragon gains 300 ATK for every XYZ material attached to it (Blaze Dragon ATK: 2300 - 2900, OL: 2).

Blaze Dragon attacks Clear Wing (Zephyr: 3700 - 3300). Due to the effect of Speedroid Storm, Blaze Dragon is destroyed instead but Blaze Dragon detatches Jack Jaguar to negate its destruction (OL: 2 - 1, Blaze Dragon ATK: 2900 - 2600).
