A/N: Chapter 25!

Thanks go to exleader75! He wrote the duel and I edited some of it, due to the length. Most of it's still there.

Key Notes: Light and Darkness Dragon doesn't affect the activation of the user's spell or trap cards.

Light and Darkness Dragon does NOT allow you to return the negated spell or trap card back into hand. It was here for dueling purposes.

Turns Left: 3

'Okay three turns left. The next will be Yusei's last move and then I win!' the principal thought happily, but then turned. 'But I have nothing to protect myself for this turn! I did have a monster that will beat that techno machine, but Yusei made me discard it! Oh well!' "I switch Light and Darkness Dragon to defense mode and play the spell card Ookazi! I automatically deal you with 800 points of damage!"

Yusei glared as a red aura surrounded his body.

Principal: 800 LP/ Yusei: 200 LP

"Oh, no! Yusei's life points are lower than the principal now!" Martha said.

"Yusei…" Akiza mumbled.

"I end my turn!" the principal finished.

Turns Left: 2

"Everyone…. This is it!" Luna exclaimed nervously.

"Yes! This is Yusei's last move, if he doesn't win now, then-" Martha began.

"-Yusei would win! I know he will! He weakened the dragon enough and the principal has no defenses left!" Akiza interrupted confidently.

"Go Yusei!" Leo cheered.

"This is your last turn, Yusei Fudo. After this, it's over!" the principal haunted.

Yusei growled, but then…time stopped. Yusei's eyelids weakened as he struggled to concentrate on the chance of victory on this draw. Sweat gathered and ran down Yusei's body at this last draw. The principal was looking at him quite interested at his posture. 'Please my cards…answer me!'

"It's my…" Yusei began slowly, but then screamed, "TURN! Draw!" With the force of a supernatural human being, with a fluid, compact, and healthy swing of his arm, he drew his new card. "I play Pot of Greed. With this I can draw two more cards!"

Yusei looked at it, and his eyes bulged, his lips formed a small smirk then a smile. "It's here," Yusei muttered happily under the lips.

"Look guys! Yusei is smiling!" Leo noticed.

"What could mean?" Luna asked.

"It means Yusei's victory, everyone!" Martha grinned.

Leo and Luna turned toward Martha before smiling at each other and screamed, "Go Yusei!"

Akiza was caught under her breath. 'What two cards could win this, Yusei?'

"Sir, this was sure an exciting duel. I had fun, and you had me for almost the entire duel."

"What are you talking about Mr. Fudo?"

"I mean that this ends now!"

"What do you say?"

"I summon Synchron Explorer (2/0/700)!" A queer looking machine appeared out of the blue with a big hole in its chest.

"That monster…"

"Its special ability activates! When it's normal summoned onto the field, I can special summon one Synchron type tuner from the graveyard! And I special summon back tuner monster, Junk Synchron (3/1300/500)!"

"Is this déjà vu?" The principal couldn't believe in seeing this monster again for the third time this duel! "Another tuner monster?"

"Yes! I'm going to synchro summon my ace monster!"

"Ace monster?"

Akiza gasped. Yusei just shown her that card to her the night she arrived at Martha's place.

"Yes sir! But first, I activate my permanent spell card, Card of Safe Return! I hope you remember that if I special summon a monster like Junk Synchron, I can get to draw one card!" Yusei drew his card. "And now I'm tuning my level 3 Junk Synchron to my level 2 Synchron Explorer and level 3 Morphtronic Datatron!"

Juck Synchron flown to the center of Yusei's field before transforming into one green scanning circle with the other three monsters flying just before it getting themselves scanned into seven straight identical stars. A huge green pillar of light engulfs the crowded cluster. (2 + 3 + 3 = 8) I summon, Stardust Dragon (8/2500/2000)!"

The light subsided to reveal a pure body of muscle. The middle of it showed a light-blue belly on the bottom as well as two darker blue color breasts. Its head reign two yellow, caring eyes follow with bright shining claws that held bloodless. It long white neck was filled with sharp cuts to give it a fierce appearance, and its tail whipped happily. And the beast roared; its roar was euphonious to everyone in the room including the opposing dragon. The being finally spread its white, beautiful wings to reveal sparking, falling stardust that made Yusei feel warm inside. After a couple of seconds, Stardust Dragon stopped its awakening and stood by Yusei.

The principal was mute and wordless at the sheer beauty of the beast. Everything about it was beautiful.

Leo, Luna, and Akiza gasped at it for the same reason. Martha just smiled. The administers, who were mostly doing nothing, were staring hard at the dragon.

Jealously then risen in the room. "Yusei, how did you get such a rare card?"

Yusei just smirked. "My friends! In Satellite, everyone helps each other and when we do that, it will create miracles! I activate the spell card, Card Rotator!"

"Card…Rotator?"

"Yes, by discarding my last card to the graveyard, I can switch all the battle positions of your monsters on the field!"

"You got to be kidding me."

"I send Rapid Warrior to the graveyard to switch Light and Darkness Dragon to attack mode," Yusei said, discarding his lone card, and successfully made the weak dragon roar into standing up.

"Now principal…" Yusei began. The principal looked up with shaking brown eyes. Blue meets brown. Confident meets dread. Victory meets defeat.

"…I will make my last attack!" Yusei finished, putting his right hand on his heart. "Stardust Dragon! Attack Light and Darkness Dragon with Crimson Flare!"

White flashes of energy gathered into the mouth of Stardust's mouth; then shot out like a white wall of projectiles at the bigger dragon on the ground looking at his destroyer. And then the explosion…

(L) Principal: 0 LP/ (W) Yusei: 200 LP

Everything was silent. Stardust Dragon had disappeared as well as all the holograms from the field.

The principal and Yusei were still trying to see through the smoke while Leo, Luna, Akiza, and Martha were still shocked to move.

Finally, "This is…" It was Leo's voice.

Martha had finally found her voice, and grinned looking at her three companions, "Yes! Yusei won!"

Leo and Luna turned away from Martha's direction and back toward the field, where the debris had clear revealing an expressionless Yusei and Principal. Leo and Luna still held shocked faces, but then into happy grins, then happy smiles, and then huge smiles; and then screamed with Akiza, and Martha, whom just went through the same process:

"He did it!"

The school administers stood up and applauded.

"Yusei!" Leo screamed running toward the field.

"Leo! Everyone!" Yusei turned and saw Leo, Luna, Akiza, and Martha running towards him.

"Yusei! Can I get ice cream?" Leo asked hungrily.

"Yes, sure you can!" Yusei replied.

"Yes!" Leo pumped his fist into the air. Luna sighed.

The principal walked up to him and he shook his hand.

"Congratulations Yusei," he said, "You dueled well."

"Thanks," he said, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some ice cream to buy for my friends."

"All right," Leo said. He ran out of the gym as fast as he could.

Martha and Luna followed. Akiza walked up to him and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"That's all?" Yusei asked, "Only a peck on the cheek?"

"Don't worry Yusei," Akiza said, "Lets just get Leo his ice cream, so he doesn't complain."

Akiza grabbed onto Yusei's arm and they leaned on one another as they walked to the car.

When they got to the ice cream shop, they all ordered their favorites. Leo, of course, got the biggest ice cream cone he could get. It was as tall as his head.

"Leo, now you're going to have to eat all of that before it melts," Luna said.

"Don't worry. When it comes to eating ice cream, I'm the fastest."

Luna was going to say something, but she just smiled and continued to eat her ice cream.

Martha sat down with them.

"Hey! Where's Yusei and Akiza?" Luna asked.

"Don't worry," Martha said, "They're spending some alone time together."

"Yuck, more love," Leo said as he continued to eat his ice cream cone.

Akiza and Yusei sat and ate their ice cream together.

"Yusei, you got whipped cream on your mouth," Akiza said as she wiped it off.

"Sorry," he said.

"Well, you did win, so that's all that matters," she said.

When they finished, they threw away their stuff and Akiza pulled Yusei out of the restaurant.

"Akiza, why are we going outside?" Yusei asked.

"For your rewards," Akiza said.

"Rewards?"

They stopped in front of a table. Akiza pulled Yusei in and they shared multiple, deep, passionate kisses.

Meanwhile, inside the ice cream shop...

Leo was holding his head as he leaned on the table.

"Leo, I was going to tell you, you shouldn't eat ice cream so fast. You'll get an ice cream headache."

Leo popped up.

"Does that mean I get more ice cream?" he asked.

"Uh, no," Martha said.

"Aww," Leo screamed as he laid back down on the table, "My head."

Luna and Martha laughed.
