Back in Shades office, Zander and Jacob were about to talk to their leader while Bulldog and Sledge where there as well.

Zander looked at Bulldog and replied, "You didn't have to come at all!"

Bulldog smiled and replied, "And miss this? No way and besides, he wanted us to come anyway."

Suddenly, Shade and Slade came in and he replied, "Be seated all of you."

They all sat down and Slade then replied, "Time for a few changes and I'll let my dad annouce them."

Shade looked at Jacob and replied, "I'm really proud of all the hard work you did in your duel, Jacob. You used that Skeleton's old deck like a pro and you should be proud of your dueling."

Jacob nodded and replied, "Thank you, sir."

Shade then replied, "Zander, that was your 2nd loss in a row! Pathetic to say at least!"

Zander then replied, "I know and I'll do better next time."

Shade then replied, "We'll see. Jacob, you and Sledge are now promoted to Zander's old ranking. Jacob will be 3rd in command while Sledge will be 2nd in command and Bulldog will be first in command as well!"

The 3 gangsters nodded and Bulldog replied, "Thank you so very much, sir."

Shade nodded and replied, "I was really proud of the hard work you did for us since you got promoted, so this is the least I can do for you."

He looked at Zander and replied, "You are demoted back down to nobody rank, Zander! This will teach not to lose important duels!"

Zander then replied, "No damn way I'm going back to that ranking!"

Shade then replied, "If you want to stay, you have to accept this!"

Zander gave him the finger and replied, "Well, fuck you and this whole damn gang! I QUIT!"

He tore his jacket and threw onto his desk as he walked out and slammed the door behind him and then Bulldog smiled and replied, "Good riddance."

Shade then replied, "Make sure he leaves without do anything stupid, Bulldog."

Bulldog and replied, "Yes, sir."

As he left as wel, Sledge sighed and replied, "I hated that asshole anyway."

Shade then replied, "I never did anyway. I should of got rid of that dickhead a very long time ago. Why didn't I is a good question."

Slade then repleid, "We haven't heard much from this bratty girls in a while, dad."

"I know. We have no good leads on anything right now. We need some money and the rarest items ever!"

Jacob then replied, "I still need some training to be betterr 3rd in comand, sir."

Shade then replied, "Sledge and Bulldog will help you out, Jacob."

"Sounds good, sir."

-ooo-

That next day in Ginny's apartment, everyone was ready to go.

Kelly then replied, "It was tough, but I'm okayed by my family to help out and come with you, Ginny."

Ginny then repleid, "This won't be easy, but its something we have to do."

Christina then replied, "I'm ready to take those sages down!"

Lucas then replied, "I got a few days off as well, so lets do it!"

Suddenly, the big doors opened up and Kevin and Ashley came wearing their regular clothes and now wearing a white leather jackets with the letters FF patched on the front of it.

"Nice.", Lucas replied.

Ashley then replied, "You'll all get one too once you win your sage duels."

Kevin then replied, "Anyone that thinks they can't do this, should just leave now and we'll forgive them."

Lucas then replied, "This is for the future! I am in!"

Christina then replied, "You guys need us in the future and we're the ones that will help out."

Kelly then replied, "With my improved deck, I'll kick some butt!"

Ginny then replied, "I want to become a member and this is the best way for me to do so, so lets get going!"

Kevin then replied, "Fine, lets head on out then."

He stared at a wall with their family picture and he repleid, "Portal, open up!"

Suddenly, a large black energy portal opened up right infront of them and Ginny replied, "Lets get going."

They all walked and soon as Ashley and Kevin walked in, the portal vanished from the apartment.

-ooo-

Meanwhile on a highway about 10 miles away from the Savage Beast HQ, Zander was riding his cycle towards Duluth.

He sighed and replied, "I hated to quit, but I refused to go back to my old ranking and it was bullshit they were about to make me go back to it! I'm heading to Duluth for a vacation so I can be near my buddy. I Can't believe Shade almost wanted to rat my bud out and I refused too!"

He continued to drive and he nodded and replied, "I'll find a place to stay for the night in Duluth and then I'll head out to my buddys place later on in the morning."

-ooo-

In the year 2120, The Future Fighters were forced to use a underground bunker as their hideout, because the Savage Beasts had took over Minneapolis..but they didn't mind it at all. It was a beautiful bunker with many things to do, eat and sleep at. Alot of the Fighters were wearing the leather jackets that Ashley and Kevin showed off to the gang.

Suddenly, the portal opened up and everyone walked out of it into a lounge-type area with a 60 inch screen TV, many game systems and a cable box with a crapload of channels and then the portal closed up. Christina looked around and replied, "Man, what a beauty!"

Kelly then replied, "No joke, girl."

Lucas then replied, "Nice."

Ginny then replied, "This is one of my favorite places to go to."

Christina sighed and replied, "Crap, I forgot about Tina. Who will watch our kitten while we are gone?"

Lucas smiled and replied, "My brother took some time off as well to watch our house and keep a eye on Tina for us."

"Awesome, dad."

Ashley then replied, "It is time for you meet our leader and the sages and you all get to rest and walk around. The duels will he happening tomorrow morning, so you all get the rest of the day to relax and enjoy."

Lucas then replied, "Sounds good."

Kevin then replied, "He's the guy that helped us when we all needed help."

Ginny then replied, "They saved us from actually being a member of that horrible gang."

Suddenly, the doors opened up and Blackhawk walked in and she smiled and replied, "Hey, guys."

"Hey, sweetie.", her parents said at once.

Ginny smiled back and replied, "Hey, sis."

Blackhawk replied, "Time for you to meet our boss. Lets go."

-ooo-

About 10 minutes later, the gang was outside of a huge gold door that said FUTURE FIGHTER LEADER OFFICE.

Kevin then replied, "Ready to find out about our leader?"

Lucas then replied, "Sure am."

The door slowly opened up and at the desk at the back was a tall robed figure doing work on a computer and the gang all went in and walked to the table and Kevin then replied, "We brought the duelists that won their shadow games and banished the shadow duelists once and for all."

Suddenly, the robe vanished and it place was a female in her mid 30s and she had beautiful blonde hair and hazel eyes as well and she wore a beautiful red dress and she smiled and replied, "Greetings to you all. My name is Carly Jean Gunderson and I'm the leader of the Future Fighters."

Lucas then replied, "I'm Lucas Michaelson and I managed to beat Strings."

Christina then replied, "I'm his daughter Christina and me and my friend Kelly beat Umbra and Lumis."

Kelly then replied, "I am Kelly and I beat Panik in a duel and helped my girl Christina with that team duel she just told you all about."

Ginny then replied, "Of course you know me and I beat Arkana in a duel."

Carly then replied, "Greetings. I understand you're all ready to duel the sages in our group."

They all nodded and Carly then replied, "Good and now I want you to meet them. Sages, report!"

Suddenly in a burst of white smoke, 4 grey-robed priests with a duel disk on their arms appeared infront of them and Carly looked at and replied, "Sages, roll call!"

The first one's hood vanished, showing a beautiful red-haired teenager and she smiled and replied, "I'm Colbie Jesameris. Pleasure to meet you all."

The next one took their hood off, showing a black-haired male with glasses and a small goatee and he replied, "I'm Parker Smith and I was a former officer for the Future Fighter Group in London."

The next one took theirs off, showing a blonde-haired lady in her mid 40s and she replied, "I'm Ingrid Jesameris and Colbie is my daughter."

The final one took theirs off. showing a older grey-haired man and he replied, "I'm Sebastian Daniels and I lead this group of sages."

Carly looked back at the group and replied, "You 4 must duel all of these duelists. Their decks will not revealed but I know who will face who. Kelly will be first to duel and she'll battle Colbie."

The two nodded and Carly resumed, "Christina, you get Parker."

They nodded as well and then Carly replied, "Ginny will duel Adele and that leaves Lucas and he'll be facing Sebastian."

Christina then replied, "We look foward to the duels."

Carly then replied, "That's good to know. The first duel will be after breakfast tomorrow morning, so rest up and look around the place. Blackhawk, Kevin and Ashley will be here to help you around this place if you need anything, just ask. With that all settled and done, see you all tomorrow."

They all nodded as they left and Carly looked at the sages and replied, "All of you have the rest of the day off as well. Get your decks ready and report for breakfast."

They all nodded as they vanished into clouds of white smoke and Carly then replied, "These kids will be giving us a good show."

-ooo-

Later that evening in the cafe area of the compund, the gang was enjoying the many dishes being offered.

Kelly then replied, "Man, future food is awesome!"

Lucas then repleid, "Yea, it is really, really good."

Christina then replied, "Damn right it is."

Blackhawk then replied, "I always enjoying eating with her in the mornings. I just can't wait to watch my little sister win her sage duel."

Christina then repleid, "I wonder if anyone them know about our decks."

Kevin then replied, "Not even a single card, Chrstina. Carly made sure they had no knowledge of any of the cards you all used."

Ginny then replied, "Sounds good to us."

Ashley then replied, "Its going to be a long duel tomorrow."

"Also, you'll all be dueling infront of all of her members here in the US as well.", Blackhawk quickly said.

Kelly then replied, "Is Minnesota the only place with a base?"

Kevin then replied, "There is also one in New York hiding underneath the new World Trade Center building."

Christina then replied, "Good decent place for it."

Blackhawk then replied, "Minnesota and New York are the only places in the United States with a compound."

Ashley then replied, "We also have bases in London, Tokyo, Sydney, Shanghai and Saudi Arabia."

"Wow, thats cool.", Lucas said.

Blackhawk then replied, "When I had my sage duel, he was tough to beat, but my birds of the feather stayed with each other and we won the duel. I really do miss Rupert. He was a good duelist and ally to have."

"What happened to him, if you don't mind me asking.", a curious Christina asked.

She sighed and replied, "I can tell you. About 3 days after our duel, he and his best friend Roger took a small plane and wanted to fly to Mexico for a little vacation. About halfway there, they got into some bad weather and they crashed in a middle of a forest, killing them both. We honored his memory with a statue in his honor and made a 2 million dollar donation to his family as well."

"Man, thats hard to hear.", Kelly replied.

Blackhawk then replied, "We miss him still, but his memory will live on."

Ashley then replied, "You all should all relax and prepare for tomorrow."

Lucas then replied, "Good idea."

-ooo-

That next day, everyone entered arena and was waiting for the first duel of the day to begin.

Carly then replied, "Duelists, come foward."

Both stepped foward and she replied, "If Kelly wins this duel, she'll be a member and if she loses, she'll have to retry again another day. Activate disks!"

Suddenly in a burst of light, a duel disk glowing with white light appeared on his arm and they were jewels all over it and then both activated their disks and both drew 5 cards apiece.

"Let the first sage duel begin...NOW!"

"Game on!", both yelled out.

(Colbie LP: 8000 - Kelly LP: 8000)

Carly then replied, "The opponet always has the first move in a sage duel."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I activate Green Thumb."

The spell card and like the cards name, the picture was a hand with a emerald green thumb pointing towards the sky.

"With this card, I can add 1 level 4 or lower Plant monster from my deck to my hand."

She took a monster from her deck and placed it in her hand and then she reshuffled and replied, "I now summon my Sylvan Flowerknight."

As he sat the card down, a beautiful female wearing green armor appeared with a sword that had flower stems on it (ATK: 1,800).

"Sylvan monsters?", a confused Christina asked.

Carly then replied, "Its a strong group of cards that use effects depending when their excavated from the deck."

"Excavated?", a confused Lucas asked.

Carly sighed and replied, "Its a new term issed and it means to reveal cards from the deck."

"When Flowerknight is summoned, I can excavate the top card of my deck and if its a plant monster, I can use it and if its not, It's placed at the bottom of my deck."

She checked the top card and she revealed and she replied, "Its my Sylvan Komushroomo and when its excavated to the graveyard, I can target a spell or trap card you control and destroy it."

as she discarded the card, Kellys facedown Negate Attack shattered to bits.

"Now, attack her facedown monster."

The plant warrior went in and a Tree Otter appeared on the card (DEF: 100) and with one swipe of her sword, blasted the beast to pixels.

"Okay then. I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Beast Striker!"

As she sat the card down, the hammer using beast appeared (ATK: 1,850).

"Attack!"

The beast swung his hammer and it struck the ground, creating a shockwave that shot out and struck, blowing Flowerknight to shards (Colbie LP: 8000 - 7950).

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster facedown then I'll set a couple of cards facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I summon my Sunlight Unicorn!"

As she sat the card down, the beautiful Unicorn appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Lets check it out!"

She checked the top card and it was a Fairy Meteor Crush and she replied, "Yea!"

Suddenly, the born began to glow.

"Lets do it. Attack!"

She charged in and a Botanical Girl appeared on the card (DEF: 1,000) and she struck with her, blowing the plant girl to little pieces (Colbie LP: 7950 - 7150) and then she took a card from her deck and added it in her hand and then she replied, "Attack directly!"

Beast Striker went in and then Colbie quickly replied, "I play Negate Attack."

Suddenly, the trap appeared and beast grunted as it retreated.

"Whatever. I end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I summon my Sylvan Marshalleaf."

As she sat the card down, a green leaf-like creature appeared (ATK: 1,500).

"Next, I use Double Summon for my Jerry Beans Man."

As she sat the card down, the walking jellybean appeared (ATK: 1,750).

"I use my Marshalleaf's ability now. I call 1 or 2 and Excavate that many cards from my deck and plants are once again discarded and anything else goes to my decks bottom and I'll choose 2."

She checked the top 2 cards and they were a Shard of Greed and a 2nd Marshalleaf and she replied, "Shard of Greed is not a plant, but my 2nd Marshalleaf is one and when he's excavated from the deck, I can destroy one of your monsters."

As the card was discarded to the graveyard, green vines came out of the ground and grabbed the beast and with one hard sqeeze, it shattered into pieces.

"Since they're both level 3 earth monsters, I will overlay them."

Both turned green orbs and a portal opened up, which they flew into.

"I use these monsters to construct the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon. Appear now...Meliae of the Trees."

As she sat the card down, a cute female plant creature appeared with a giggle (ATK: 1,700).

Christina then replied, "Cute."

"I now activate Plant Food Chain and equip it to her."

As the trap flipped up, she began to glow (ATK: 1,700 - 2,200).

"I now use her ability to remove one of her Xyz Material monsters to special summon a plant from my graveyard in faceup defense postion."

As she took her Jerry Beans Man and discarded it, a fiery mushroom appeared and knelt (DEF: 2,000).

"Next, I return it to specal summon my Fallen Angel of Roses."

As the fiery mushroom vanished, a wicked-looking plant lady appeared with a thorned vine whip (ATK: 2,400).

Lucas then replied, "Man, this girl is good."

Carly then replied, "Thats why I recruited her. She had fantastic skill and is also a very kind person."

"I now attack your Unicorn with my Meliae of Trees."

The plant creature jumped into the air and kicked as hard as she could, blowing Sunlight Unicorn to pieces.

"Fallen Angel, attack her directly."

She swung her vine whip and it struck Kelly (Kelly LP: 8000 - 5200).

Christina then replied, "Ouch, that hard to hurt."

Ginny then replied, "She can do it."

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "This will help. I banish 1 spell card to summon my Monoceros!"

As she banished a card, the horned beast appeared (ATK: 1,000).

"I now summon my Elephun!"

As she sa the card down, the cute little elephant tuner appeared (ATK: 500).

"I now tune my 2 monsters together!"

Elephun let a happy squeal as it split apart into two white stars, with each one transforming into a green virtual ring. The two rings went through Monoceros, which transformed into three white stars. As this process occurred, Kelly clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to chant:

"Galloping in heavens like thunder, crisscrossing them like a mighty gale, appear forth from the World of Myth and Legend! Synchro Summon! Neigh, Thunder Unicorn!"

As she sat the card down, the unicorn Synchro of light appeared with a loud neigh (ATK: 2,200) and then she replied, "Since I used Monoceros in a Synchro Summon with a beast tuner, I get my beast tuner back from my graveyard!"

Suddenly, Elephun appeared and knelt (DEF: 300).

"Next, I drain your Fallen Angel of 1,000 attack points!"

Suddenly, she let out a groan (ATK: 2,400 - 1,400).

"Attack!"

Suddenly, electricity shot out from its horn and the Fallen Angel was blown to atoms as the attack struck her (Colbie LP: 7150 - 6350).

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I'll use her final Xyz Material monster."

She took a plant monster from her deck and discarded and then reshuffled and replied, "I'll switch her to defense postion and then I'll set a monster facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "Since I banished my Card from the Different Dimension last turn, I get it back and we both draw 2 cards."

Both drew 2 cards from their dec and then she replied, "I nowI summon my Vorse Raider!"

As she sat hte card down, the dark beast-warrior appeared (ATK: 1,900).

"Lets do it. Vorse Raider, attack!"

the beast-warrior swung his axe and it sliced right threw the plant and it fell backwards in two pieces before dissolving into light.

Thunder Unicorn, attack!"

The beast launched more electricity and a Magician of Faith appeared on the card (DEF: 400) and was atomized as the lightning struck her and then she took a spell card from her graveyard and added it to her hand.

"Okay then. I end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I replay Green Thumb."

She took a card from her deck and placed it in her hand and then she reshuffled and replied, "I now summon my Lonefire Blossom."

As she sat the card down, the dark plant appeared (ATK: 400).

"I now tribute it to summon a powerful plant monster from my deck."

As the plant vanished into particles, a huge tree came out of the ground and it had beautiful-colored leaves and a old face on the front (ATK: 2,700).

"Meet my Sylvan Hermitree."

Lucas nodded and replied, "These monsters are looking really neat."

Christina nodded and replied, "Sure are, dad."

She opened her field slot and replied, "I now activate the field spell card Mount Sylvania."

As she slid the card into the slot and it closed up, the arena turned into a forest with a huge mountain behind Colbie.

Carly then replied, "One of best looking field spell cards I think."

"Now I play Pot of Avarice."

She took both Marshalleafs, Flowerknight, Magician of Faith and Lonefire Blossom and shuffled the cards back into her deck and then she drew 2 cards and replied, "I use my field spells ability now. I can discard 1 plant to the graveyard so I can add any Sylvan monster in my deck to the top of my deck."

As she discarded a 2nd Jerry Beans Man, she found a card in her deck and placed it on top of her deck.

Christina then replied, "Now, she can use any Sylvan monster effects since any of them would be on top!"

Carly then replied, "She is a clever girl."

Ingrid smiled and replied, "She makes me so proud to be her mother."

"I now use Sylvan Hermitree's ability now. I excavate the top card of my deck and if its a plant monster, I can discard it to the graveyard and draw a card."

She checked the top card and everyone groaned (Except Carly and the Sages) when they found out it was a Marshalleaf again and as she discarded and drew a card, Thunder Unicorn burst into globules of light.

"I now attack your Tuner."

Suddenly, the tree began shake and many sharp red leaves shot out and the Tuner was blasted to pieces as they struck it.

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!"

The storm began and then the huge mountain collapsed into pile of rubble and as it vanished, it returned them all to the arena.

"Much better. I'll switch my Vorse Raider to defense postion and then I'll set a new monster facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I summon my Sylvan Bladefender."

As she sat the card down, another plant warrior appeared and he had 2 green vine-like swords (ATK: 1,900).

"Lets check the top of my deck with my Hermitree."

She did so and it was only a World Tree spell card and she placed at the bottom of his deck and then she tried again with Bladefender and this time..it was only her Magician of Faith again and she sighed and replied, "Damn my luck. Bladefender, attack."

The plant warrior went in and Vorse Raider was blasted into pixels as the swords fell.

"Hermitree, attack."

The mighty plant monster shot out its leaves and a Hyena appeared on the card (DEF: 300) and was sliced to bits and then 2 more facedown monsters appeared and then she activated her Miracle's Wake card and the first hyena appeared (ATK: 1,000).

"I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I tribute all 3 of my monsters to summon one of my best monsters!"

As all 3 Hyenas dissoloved into light, Beast King Barbaros appeared with a roar (ATK: 3,000).

Colbie groaned and replied, "Wow."

Christina smiled and replied, "YEA!"

Kelly smiled and replied, "Say goodbye to your monsters and also...TIMBER!"

Suddenly, the huge beast-warrior jammed his spear into the ground and earthquake began. Bladefender was blasted into pixels quickly and then Hermitree let out a quiet moan before it fell to the ground with a huge crash, shattering into triangles as it did so.

Carly then replied, "Wow."

"Now, attack her directly!"

The huge beast went and jammed his spear into Colbie (Colbie LP: 6350 - 3350).

Kelly smiled and replied, "There you go. I'll set a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I play Treasured Cards from Heaven."

Both drew until they had 6 cards in their and then she replied, "I play Monster Reborn."

Suddenly, Hermitree appeared (ATK: 2,700).

"I now summon my Copy Plant."

As she sat the card down, the ugly plant tuner appeared (ATK: 0).

"Its level becomes 7 now."

suddenly, it turned into a copy of Hermitree (LV: 1 - 8).

"I now overlay my 2 monsters."

Both turned into green orbs and a portal opened up, which the orbs flew into.

"With these monsters, I construct the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon. Appear now..Alsei, the Sylvan High Protector."

As he sat the card down, a HUGE plant-like beast appeared (ATK: 2,300).

Carly then replied, "Wow."

"I user his ability to remove 1 Xyz Material monster to send one monster you have to the top or bottom of your deck."

Kelly quickly replied, "Not going to allow you to do that all. I activate Breakthrough Skill!"

The trap flipped up.

"Whatever. I equip my huge plant with Xyz Unit."

Suddenly it began to glow (ATK: 2,300 - 3,900).

"Now, I attack."

The giant beast huge lifted its leg and slammmed down on the ground hot with, blowing Barbaros to shards (Kelly LP: 5200 - 4300).

Lucas then replied, "He just wiped out one her best monsters!"

Christina then repleid, "She can do it. She's a really good duelist."

"I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I'll set a card and I'll attack."

The mighty beast lifted its foot up again and slammed hard on the ground with and a large dog appeared on the card (DEF: 800) and exploded into shards as the quake got too much for it and Kelly replied, "When Assault Dog is destroyed in battle, I can special any number of them from my deck!"

Suddenly, two more of the dogs appeared (ATK: 1,300 x2).

"Okay..then. I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I summon my Nimble Momanga."

As he sat the card down, the flying squirrel appeared (ATK: 1,000).

"I now overlay my 2 Assault Dogs!"

The two dogs barked as they turned into 2 brown orbs, which flew into a portal.

"With these monsters, I construct the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon! Appear now..Diamond Dire Wolf!"

As she sat the card down, the wolf Xyz appeared with a howl (ATK: 2,000).

Christina then replied, "Yea!"

"I use one Xyz Material to use its ability!"

As he discarded one of her Assault Dogs, The flying squirrel flew in and struck the mighty plant monster in the head and then it let out a roar before the small beast and the huge plant-like beast exploded into pixels.

"Now, attack her directly!"

The wolf went in and bit Colbie on the arm (Colbie LP: 3350 - 1350).

Christina smiled and replied, "Yea!"

Lucas then replied, "A little bit more."

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I banish 1 Level 8 monster from my hand 1 from my graveyard to summon my mightest plant monster."

As she took her Hermitree and a Tytannial in her hand, a mighty humanoid appeared (ATK: 2,900).

"Meet Rosaria, the Stately Angel."

Lucas then replied, "Eep."

Blackhawk then repleid, "Might be trouble for her."

"Attack her Diamond Dire Wolf."

Suddenly, the roof began to turn dark red and fiery thorns shot out and struck, blowing Diamond Dire Wolf into triangles (Kelly LP: 4300 - 3400).

Colbie then replied, "There you go. I end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Colbie drew a card and replied, "I'll summon another Flowerknight."

As she sat the card down, another of the flowery knights appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Lets do it. Flowerknight, attack."

The warrior went in and a Hypnocorn appeared on the card (DEF: 800) and the flowery knight made a clean slice with his sword, cutting Hypnocorn in twain. The two pieces dissolved into light and then she groaned and replied, "I activate Animal Trail."

She took a card from her deck and added it to her hand.

"Next turn, you'll be done for. I'll end my turn now."

Kelly drew a card and replied, "I discard my Level 1 Moja to summon my Egotistical Ape!"

As she discarded the small beast, the shadowy ape Tuner appeared (ATK: 1,200 - LV: 5 - 4).

"I now summon my Bicorn Re'em!"

As she sat the card down, a beast that was part lion and tiger appeared with two long horns there were out of its head (ATK: 800).

"I now tune my 2 beasts together!"

"Galloping in the heavens like thunder, going through the pitch-black sky, this lightning will strike the Earth and incinerate it. Synchro Summon! Shine, Lightning Tricorn!"

As she sat the card down, the gold-skinned Unicorn appeared (ATK: 2,800).

"Since I used Bicorn Re'em in a Synchro Summon, you lose the top 2 cards of your deck!"

She took the top 2 cards (Which were a 2nd Sylvan Bladefender and a 2nd Mount Sylvania) and discarded them to the graveyard.

"I now play Double Summon for my Warrior Dai Grepher!"

As he sat the card down, the muscle warrior appeared (ATK: 1,700).

"I now play Miracle Synchro Fusion to fuse my Tricorn with Grepher!"

As the two merged together, Grepher covered in armor appeared while riding Tricorn (ATK: ?).

"Meet the mighty Unicorn Master Dai Grepher!"

Lucas then replied, "Whoa."

Carly then replied, "This girl has good skill."

"His attack is the ATK of both Fusion Material monsters!"

Suddenly, he began to glow (ATK: ? - 4,500).

Colbie sighed and then she smiled and replied, "I enjoyed our duel. End it."

"It was a honor, Colbie. Attack!"

He pointed his sword towards the huge plant creature and launched a huge burst of electricity and it shot and struck Rosaria and he let out a groan before he exploded into pixels, ending the duel (Colbie LP: 1350 - 0).

Christina then replied, "Great job, girl!"

Lucas then replied, "What a duel."

Ingrid sighed and replied, "Win or lose, I'll always be proud of my daughter's dueling skills."

Carly then replied, "Kelly wins and our next duel will be after supper tonight, so be here and be ready for a good duel!"
