Thetrueazure: The semi-finals is already coming to a close, who will get their chance to face Ritsu in the final match and then face Satoshi in the championship round! I got 50 bucks on Kurogasa!
Kazuma: I've got 80 on Nami.
Ritsu: I'm going to stay out of it. Thetrueazure does not own Yugioh 5D's or their cards. He does however own Me, Kazuma, Miharu, Shin Himuro and the cards he makes. Other OCs and OC cards belong to their respective owners
"I suppose it's time I ended this." Krad drew his card "I equip Shinken with Dragon Slayer!" Shinken's sword erupted in black flames "Whenever he battles a Dragon type monster, he gains halve of that cards attack points! Attack Raikou and end the hunt! Hell's Fire!" Shinken ran full speed towards Raikou as the flames surrounded him (2800-4300)
Ritsu smiled at this "Sorry, but this is my victory! I play the quick play spell Master Magician's Incantation! With this card, I select a spell card from either my hand or a set one on my field and treat it as a quick play!"
"What!"
"I activate the spell card Dragon Heart! Here's the deal, I send three dragon type monsters from my deck to the grave for one dragon type monster I control to gain 1000 points!" Ritsu said as he sent three dragon's to the grave for Raikou to gain more power (3000-4000) "Next I activate the effect of (Azure) Artillery Dragon (1/500/500) in my graveyard, having Raikou gain 500 attack points!" A small armored dragon was absorbed by Raikou as his power grew above Shinken's (4000-4500).
"Impossible!"
"Counterattack!" Raikou fired a huge fireball which consumed Shinken and triggered a huge explosion, making the darkness inside Krad to disappear for now.
Ritsu: 950: Winner
Krad: 0
"IT'S OVER! RITSU WILL BE MOVING TOWARDS THE FINAL MATCH!" The MC said as the crowd was still silent
Ritsu was shaking all over until finally he succumbed to his wounds and fell over, only to be caught by Yuzuki.
"Oh hey." Ritsu said as he noticed Yuzuki's tears
"Idiot, don't scare me like that." She said as she kissed him and helped him up while Keira did the same for Krad.
Ch.29 The Pulse of Trishula
Ritsu and Krad were in the infirmary, Krad was still unconscious while Ritsu was having his bandages replaced by Yuzuki. While she was replacing his bandages, Ritsu cringed in pain as she was wrapping his wound.
"Ow, That hurt!" Ritsu said
"Well stop moving!" Yuzuki said as she finished "There, all done."
"Thanks." Ritsu said as he put his shirt back on "I'm sorry if I scared you back there."
Yuzuki smiled "It's OK. Just don't do it again."
Ritsu chuckled nervously "No promises there." Yuzuki pushed him "Owowow."
"Sorry." Yuzuki looked at Krad "I still can't believe that Krad is a Dragon Hunter."
"I can't either." Ritsu said "But regardless, I still trust him, he's a comrade, and a friend."
"If you still trust him, then I trust him too." Yuzuki said as she leaned on Ritsu "Kurogasa's match is going to start."
"WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! IT'S TIME WE CLOSED OFF THE SEMI-FINALS WITH A TURBO DUEL!" The MC said "FOR OUR FIRST COMPETITOR, SHE CAN BE COLD AND RUTHLESS, THE ICE QUEEN OF TURBO DUELS, NAMI STRATOUS!" Nami drove out of the entrance and made it to the starting line "HER CHALLENGER, THE LIGHT LORD OF DUELING, KUROGASA KURURUGI!" Kurogasa drove full speed out of the entrance with an Omega Frame runner with silver wings and gold edges, and on both sides of the duel runner was the Haos symbol. He made to the starting line where Nami was.
"That's a nice runner." Nami complimented
"Thanks." Kurogasa said "I see you and Ritsu haven't forgotten our promise."
"What promise?" Yuzuki womdered
"When we were in an orphanage, we made a promise that if we entered a tournament, we would be the last three." Ritsu said
"Let's get started!" Kurogasa yelled as they activated their Speed World 2 spell
Duel mode engaged, autopilot standing by
An air display with a countdown appeared in front of the two duelists "Ready, Set, Duel!"
"Here we go!" Kurogasa screamed down the track and passed Nami
"So fast." Nami thought as she tried to catch up to him, but Kurogasa took the first corner as they drew there opening hands

Geomancer put up a golden barrier "I set one card face down and end my turn!" One reverse card appeared.
"My turn!" Kurogasa drew his card

"I activate the Speed Spell Sonic Buster! When I have 4 or more speed counters, you take damage equal to half the attack of one of my monsters!" Kurogasa pointed at Siege "Siege's attack is 1900, so that means you take 950 points of damage!" A sound wave hit Nami's runner, causing her to swerve.
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 4
Nami: 2950/SPC: 4
"I end my turn right there." Kurogasa said as he drove to Nami's side "Nami, your better than this. Don't you remember the promise me, Ritsu and you made? We made a vow that if we were to duel each other again, we would give it our all." Nami gasped as she remembered that day
3 Years ago
"Leonidas! Attack Ritsu directly with Omega Eraser!" Leonidas stabilized his body as he fired a giant laser at Ritsu, knockin him on his rear.
Ritsu: 0
Kurogasa: 300: Winner
"Well I guess the score is 5-0 Ritsu." Kurogasa said as he held out his hand to help Ritsu up.
"That's the closest match you two have had." Nami said as she smiled at Ritsu, who rubbed his head and laughed nervously
"Yeah, after some experimenting I figured out that dragon type cards work well with me." Ritsu said
"That's good." Kurogasa said as his expression saddened "Well, I guess we could call this a farewell match."
"What do you mean?" Nami wondered
"I was thinking that we should train by ourselves, see new places, meet new people, fight against new duelists." Kurogasa said as he held out his hand "Let's make a vow that if we are to duel each other again in the future, that we give it our all!" Ritsu smiled as he placed his hand on top of Kurogasa's while Nami did the same.
"To a bright future!" Kurogasa said
"And to a fated rematch!" Ritsu and Nami said
"Now show me how much stronger you've gotten since that day!" Kurogasa said as he sped past her

"I activate the Speed Spell Summon Speeder! Since I have more than 4 speed counters, I can summon a level 4 or below monster from my hand, so I summon Haos Juggernoid (4/1000/2000) in defense mode!"

The white knight reappeared. "Ancient Nemus, attack Brionac with Sparkling Arrow!" Nemus fired a light arrow at Brionac
"I activate the effect of (Azure) Broken Shield from my graveyard, removing it from play so that I can reducing Brionac's attack points by 500 to keep him safe from battle destruction!" Nami pocketed the card as Brionac shielded himself (2300-1800) "Next I play Card of Last Will, if a monster I control is destroyed or if their attack points reduce, I can draw until I'm holding five cards!" Nami drew a full five as the arrow hit Brionac

"That's big." Kurogasa said as he stared at the dragon.
"I activate Trishula's effect, when she's synchro summoned, I can remove from play one card from your field, hand, and graveyard. Let's start with the field, goodbye Nemus!" A large blizzard was traveling towards Nemus
"I activate Synchro Prominence, since there are two synchros on the field, you take 2000 points of damage." A stream of flames hit Nami's duel runner, causing her to swerve behind Kurogasa, but the blizzard still took Nemus.
Kurogasa: 2450/SPC: 7
Nami: 250/SPC: 5
"Since you have no hand I'll just move over to your graveyard, removing your El Condor from play!" An ice spear hit Kurogasa's disk as El Condor popped out of his graveyard. Kurogasa pocketed the two cards. "Trishula, attack Siege with Ice Trident!" Trishula's three heads fired ice spears at Haos Siege, destroying him.
"I play Defense Draw, negating the damage and allowing me to draw a card!" A barrier blocked the spears as Kurogasa drew one card
"Next I activate Speed World 2, removing 4 speed counter to inflict 800 points of damage for every speed spell in my hand!" Nami said "I currently have three speed spells in my hand, so you take 2400 points of damage! Take this!" Electricity shot out of Nami's duel runner and struck Kurogasa's duel runner.
Kurogasa: 50/SPC: 7
Nami: 250/SPC: 1
"I end my turn!" Nami said "I have to hope that card Kurogasa drew isn't a speed spell, because if it is I'm finished!"
"My turn!" Kurogasa drew his card
Kurogasa: 50/SPC:8
Nami: 250/SPC: 2
Kurogasa smiled "Sorry Nami, you fought a good match, but it's my victory! I activate the effect of Speed World 2, removing 4 speed counters to inflict 800 points of damage for every speed spell in my hand, and just so happens that I have one right now. It's the card I drew through the effect of Defense Draw!" A golden laser hit Nami's duel runner, causing it to stop as her life points hit zero.
Kurogasa: 50/SPC: 4: Winner
Nami: 0/SPC:0
"AND IT LOOKS LIKE KUROGASA WILL FACE RITSU FOR A CHANCE TO DUEL AGAINST SATOSHI!" The MC said
"Yay! My Kurogasa is the best!" Kuraki said
"Gotta say I'm impressed." Terra said
Kurogasa walked up to Nami and extended out his hand
"You did pretty well." Kurogasa said
"But, I didn't beat you." Nami said "I thought I had gotten stronger but-"
"What are you talking about?" Kurogasa asked "I never asked you to beat me. All I said was to show me how much stronger you've gotten, and you've showed me that."
Nami smiled "Thank you Kurogasa, but I wouldn't underestimate Ritsu, he's gotten stronger in the past three years."
"Come on, do I look like the guy who would underestimate his opponent?" Kurogasa asked as they both started to laugh.
Ritsu got up from his bed and put on his grey jacket
"Are you sure your OK for this duel?" Yuzuki asked in concern "You will be turbo dueling." she said as Keira walked in
"Yeah I'm fine." Ritsu said as Krad started to wake up "Well look who's awake."
"Ritsu...I'm sorry for what I did." Krad said weakly
"Don't worry about it man." Ritsu said "It's already behind me."
Krad smiled weakly as Keira helped him up while Ritsu left for his fated rematch with Kurogasa.
