"And Ace prevailed over Mason!" Melissa, and Nico declared.
Ace smiled as he and Mason rejoined the others only to blush and hug Sandy.
"You did amazing Acey!" Sandy smiled.
He blushed at that but had a big smile on his face as everyone turned to see who would be in the next duel as Zarc, Ray, and Dawn all smiled proudly. The pictures moved before stopping where Ryoken is against Hart next. Hart's eyes widened before he swallowed nervously turning to Ryoken. "Good luck."
Ryoken nodded to him as he said that.
"What kind of duel is it?" Lulu asked.
The arrows moved around before stopping at Speed Duel.
"A Speed Duel, interesting." Specter noted as Ryoken and Hart took their positions.
"Ready, and... GO!"
"SPEED DUEL!"

"Afterward all my other monsters are destroyed." Ryoken said as Sniffer Dragon shattered.
"This may seem like a Draw-Back, but I am able to activate the effect of two monsters in my hand!" Ryoken called showing the cards, "First with a monster on the field destroyed by an effect, I can summon Overflow Dragon!"

You can only use this effect of "Keeper of the Shrine" once per turn.
'Three monsters, but the only card left in his hand is Sniffer Dragon so worst case scenario he goes for a Link 3 monster.' Hart thought seeing that.
Ryoken however said, "With that, I end my turn."
Ryoken's Hand: 1/Field: Outburst Dragon (Attack Position), Overflow Dragon (Attack Position), Keeper of the Shrine (Defense Position)
Hart 1st Turn:
Hart drew his card in surprise. "You aren't Link Summoning?"
"Ryoken is a unpredictable opponent." Yusaku said to the people around him, "He shifts strategies, and goads his opponents to mind games."
Terri frowned hearing that.
"Well, the dimensions are united again so... I'll start with a spell you won't expect, Polymerization!" Hart called playing the signature card of the Fusion Dimension. "I'll use it to merge Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon with Photon Caesar and Fusion Summon Twin Photon Lizard in attack mode!"

Outburst glowed only for Ryoken to call, "Outburst Dragon's ability activates!"
"Huh?" Hart asked hearing that.
"During your turn, I can use Outburst, and other monsters on my field to Link Summon 1 Dragon from my Extra Deck!" Ryoken revealed before calling, "Appear the future circuit that lights up my path!"
The circuit appeared above him.
"So that's why he didn't Link Summon, he was waiting to see what Hart would do." Shay realized. "He's smart."
"The summoning conditions are at least 2 Effect Monsters!"
The three flew up entering the top, bottom-right, and bottom-left arrows.
"My large cannon over the closed world's gate! Link Summon! Link 3, Borrelcode Dragon!"
What rose was a red mechanical dragon rosing up roaring loud.

You can banish this card from your GY; banish 1 DARK monster on the field with 3000 or more ATK, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Topologic" monster from your Extra Deck or GY.
Hart flinched at that. "Well plan b in that case. I Overlay Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon, and Photon Caesar! With these three monsters, I build the Overlay Network!"
Hart's three monsters turned into golden lights before flying into the Overlay Network.
"Radiant galaxy, here and now become the striking light, and show yourself! Descend, My very soul! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"

"Now go, Photon Howling!"
Photon Dragon roared loud as Borrelcode growled softly as it's power got sealed.
Borrelcode Dragon: (Effects Negated)
"Huh?" Skye asked shocked.
"When Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is summoned using Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon as Xyz Material the effects of every other face-up card on the field gets negated." Shay explained. "That's Photon Howling."
"Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, attack Borrelcode Dragon, Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction!" Hart called.
Neo Photon Dragon charged an attack firing at Borrelcode which destroyed it. (Ryoken: 2000/Hand: 1)
Ryoken didn't look fazed before saying, "Keeper of the Shrine's effect activates! When a Dragon on the field is sent to the graveyard, or destroyed in battle it revives!"
The Dragonic Shaman rose back up.
Keeper of the Shrine: (Defense Position)
"That boy was lucky he negated Borrelcode's abilities." Yusaku said before explaining, "If it was Link Summoned with 3 monsters it's effect destroys all monsters on the field before calculation can be done."
"Alright, that ends my turn." Hart finished.
Hart's Hand: 0/Field: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (Attack Position/ORU: 3/Extra Monster Zone)

The second version of the dragon appeared.

"When summoned, I add another Sniffer Dragon to my hand." Ryoken said showing the third card, "Appear the future circuit that lights up my path!"

Overburst rose up again.
Overburst Dragon: (Attack Position/Effects Negated)
"But the monster summoned by this effect has it's effects negated, and can't attack." Ryoken said the downside of the effect.
"So now you can summon another Link 3 monster again." Hart realized.
Ryoken only grinned, "Right before this. I activate Defrag Dragon's ability in my hand! By discarding the last copy of Sniffer Dragon in my hand, I can summon this card from my hand!"
A dragon rose up readying.

Hart's eyes widened in shock seeing that.
"My new power, become the source for my victory! Manifest, the future circuit that lights up my path!" Ryoken called as the circuit appeared, "The summoning conditions are at least 2 Effect Monsters!"
All three monsters entered the top, and all the bottom arrows as an earthquake began to happen while the monster slowly materialized.
"I Link Summon! Link 4, Topologic Bomber Dragon!"
At that data streamed before they morphed into a brown machine like dragon with some yellow glowing likes, having curve wings, and some spikes on his back appeared roaring with 3000 attack points.

"Oh my, this duel is becoming a battle of dragons!" Nico announced.
Ryoken only grinned, "And there's more to come! I activate Borrelcode Dragon's ability in the graveyard!"
"You're what?" Hart questioned.
"By banishing this card, and a DARK monster with 3000 or more attack points on the field, I can summon a Topologic from my Extra Deck!" Ryoken called as Bomber Dragon vanished, "You might remember this one! Appear, Link 4 Topologic Zeroboros!"

Once per turn, during the Standby Phase of the next turn after this card was banished by its own effect: Special Summon this banished card.
"That's the monster you used to win your last match." Hart recalled.
"For every card that is banished, Zeroboros gains 200 attack points." Ryoken said to Hart.
"I remember." Hart nodded.
Zeroboros: (ATK: 3000 + (200 * 2) = 3400)
"I activate Defrag Dragon's ability! By banishing three monsters with the same name from the graveyard, I can summon it back! I banish three Sniffer Dragons!" The three mentioned dragons faded before he called, "Revive Defrag Dragon!"
Defrag Dragon: (Defense Position)
Defrag Dragon popped up again before Ryoken added, "Three more cards are banished as Zeroboros gains 600 more attack points!"
Zeroboros: (ATK: 3400 + (200 * 3) = 4000)
"But that's still weaker..." Terri trailed off.
"He isn't going for powering Zeroboros." Specter said which confused them.
"Zeroboros' ability activates!"
Zeroboros glowed brightly as on the field a symbol overtook before he called, "When a monster is Special Summoned to where a Link Monster points too all cards on the field are BANISHED!"
Hart's eyes widened at that as the cards all disappeared.
"Asura Enigma!"
With that one call the entire field was cleared leaving it empty.
"Hart!" Terri cried fearfully seeing that.
"He's lucky for one thing." Yusaku said to them, "Zeroboros can summon itself again when it's banished by it's ability but since it wasn't summoned normally it won't come back."
"So... he threw the match?" Ace asked.
"No." Yusaku answered plainly.
"I end my turn." Ryoken ended his turn.
Ryoken's Hand: 0/Field: Nothing
Hart 2nd Turn:
Hart drew his card and nervously looked at it. Ryoken didn't do anything as he stared.
"I... I set one card and that's it." Hart frowned.

Hart: 4000

Field: One Set Card
Ryoken: 1500
Hand: 0
Field: Nothing
Ryoken 3rd Turn:
"My turn draw!" Ryoken drew looking before calling, "And I activate my Skill! Purified Return!"
He glowed as he said this.
"That's not the skill he used before." Casey said seeing that.
"A Duelist must be flexible. They can't just possess only 1 skill." Akira explained to them, "Skye has more then one skill."
"That sounds like Ace, he has a different Skill for each of his decks." Dawn smiled causing him to blush.
Purified Return
Ryoken's Skill
The user can Special Summon 1 of their banished monsters, ignoring summoning conditions. During their End Phase, they must banish that monster.
"Purified Returns allows me to summon back a banished monster ignoring summoning conditions!" Ryoken called, "Revive Zeroboros!"
Zeroboros popped back up.
Topologic Zeroboros: (Attack Position)
Hart's eyes widened. "Wait, but it has 4400 attack points now!"
"If he survives this turn, then Purified Return's effect will force Ryoken to banish Zeroboros once more." Gore said to the people with them.
"In other words, it comes down to Hart's set card." Leo realized.
"There are currently 7 banished cards." Ryoken said to them.
Zeroboros: (ATK: 3000 + (200 * 7) = 4400)
"And now Zeroboros attack!" Zeroboros charged a large blast, "Final Disorder Code!" It fired the attack straight at Hart.
The attack hit creating a massive explosion only for everyone to hear a loud roar.
"What?" Ryoken asked hearing that.
"My skill, Galaxy-Eyes Soul!" Hart explained as the smoke cleared revealing Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon roaring.
Galaxy-Eyes Soul
Hart's Skill
When the user's LP turns to 0 they can Special Summon 1 "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" from their hand, deck, GY, or that has been banished. If the monster summoned by this effect leaves the field by a method other than its special ability they automatically lose the duel.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: (Attack Position)
(Hart: 0000/Hand: 0)
"What just happened?" Skye asked seeing that.
"Hart's skill, he might have zero life points... but now, if Galaxy-Eyes falls so does he." Shay answered. "His soul is on the battlefield, ready to fight until the very end."
"Just like Kite does as well." Terri smiled at this.
"Anything else?" Hart asked Ryoken.
Ryoken only closes his eyes, "I end my turn."
Zeroboros vanished as he said this.
Ryoken's Hand: 1/Field: Nothing
Hart 3rd Turn:
Hart drew his card but didn't look at it and instead just smiled. 'All or nothing.' "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, attack Ryoken directly with Photon Stream of Destruction!"
Photon Dragon charged an attack firing at Ryoken who got hit.
Hart: 0000
Hand: 1
Field: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (Attack Position/Galaxy-Eyes Soul), One Set Card
Galaxy-Eyes Soul: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
Ryoken: 0000
Hand: 1

Hart wins!
"And there we go, after an intense battle of the dragons Hart Tenjo achieves victory alongside his soul on the field, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!" Melissa announced.
Galaxy-Eyes roared loudly as she declared this. Hart smiled at his signature monster as he and Ryoken landed.
"Now it's only Skye that's representing us." Ryoken said seeing this.
"And Ace is the only one representing the Standard Dimension." Mason mentioned causing said boy to blush as they turned to the screen again.
They looked back at the screen where it's now Julie against Lulu.
"What kind of duel?" Yuki asked.
"Looks like Master this time." Julie said seeing this.
"Alright, good luck Julie." Lulu smiled as they took their positions.
Julie nodded before smiling, "Purple Poison been giving me tips."
"Oh, well I can't wait to see what he taught you. After you Julie." Lulu mentioned.
"DUEL!"

Monster Effect: A leader of the most dashing Igknight commando unit. His greatest challenge is keeping the hot tempers of his men under control.
Lulu frowned. "Well I'm not done yet, I Overlay Sapphire Swallow, Cobalt Sparrow, and Berly Canary!"
The three monsters flew up and entered the Overlay Network.
"Birds with beautiful wings! Gather on the battlefield and take brilliant flight! Xyz Summon! Dance in the sky! Rank 1! Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale!"
At that her ace monster appeared on the field.
(Attack Position)

2 or more Level 1 monsters
This card gains 200 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it. This card can attack directly. While this card has Xyz Material, it can attack a number of times each Battle Phase, up to the number of Xyz Materials attached to it. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; until the end of this turn, "Lyrilusc" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also you take no battle damage.
(ORU: 3)
Julie stared as it appeared.
"Under normal conditions, my Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale would just gain 200 attack points for each Overlay Unit. Though in this case a few other effects also trigger." Lulu smiled. "First, thanks to Beryl Canary she gains 200 more points and you can't take control of her. Second, Sapphire Swallow's special ability lets me attach Celeste Wagtail from the graveyard as an Overlay Unit. Finally, Cobalt Sparrow's ability prevents you from targeting her with effects."
Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale: (ORU: 3 + 1 = 4/ATK: 0 + (200 * 4) + 200 = 1000)
"Four direct attacks for 1000 damage each."
'This was not how I expected to go down.' Julie thought hearing that.
"Assembled Nightingale, attack Julie directly!" Lulu called. "Oh, and just as a small bonus I activate Lyrilusc - Prom Thrush's special ability. By detaching her last material, Assembled Nightingale gains 300 attack points until the end of the turn."
Lyrilusc - Prom Thrush: (ORU: 1 - 0/ATK: 500 - 500 = 0)
Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale: (ATK: 1000 + 300 = 1300)
Assembled Nightingale charged striking Julie.
Julie: 0000
Hand: 0
Field: Metalfoes Volflame (Pendulum), Igknight Paladin (Pendulum), Igknight Gallant (Attack Position), Metalfoes Goldriver (Attack Position)
Lulu: 4000
Hand: 2
Field: Lyrilusc - Prom Thrush (Attack Position), Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale (Attack Position/ATK: 1300/ORU: 4)
Lulu wins!
"Are you ok?" Lulu asked walking over to her.
"Yeah." Julie nodded to her.
Nico called, "And finally everyone we're here for a final 3 way duel!"
"Another one?" Leo asked hearing that before pausing. "Wait, but... there's still seven of us left to duel."
"Which means we would still have an extra Duelist without that." Rocky said hearing that.
"Well, who's dueling?" Yugo asked. "And how?"
In a Master Duel first is Yuki, next Terri, and finally Yugo. The three of them exchange a glance before grinning.
Ulrich362: Looks like the next chapter will start with an interesting match wouldn't you agree Bopdog?
bopdog111: Yup.
Ulrich362: Yuki has his new Ritual he told Stacy about, and who knows what surprises Terri and Yugo have in store.
bopdog111: Apologies for mixing up the contestant lists several times.
Ulrich362: If we do another tournament... we'll both keep a list of the duelists involved in it to avoid this happening again. That said though, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
