bopdog111: Sorry this had been delayed for a long time guys, me, and Ulrich had been waiting for Leo's new cards from the Duelist of Pyroxene set.

Ulrich362: True, and while he might not have a lot... he got some interesting ones... except they might not debut in this chapter.

bopdog111: You never know, let's find out if he can use them here.

Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, enjoy the chapter.

They all approach Spencer who is looking over his cards minding his own business.

"Excuse me, Spencer?" Ray inquired calmly. "Do you have a few minutes?"

Hearing that Spencer looked over seeing the people in front of him which he nodded placing his cards down, and turned to them, "Is there something I can help you all with?"

"Well, maybe." Terri admitted.

"We wanted to talk and maybe get to know you a little bit." Lilly agreed. "Your cards seem really strong too."

"Indeed. I entered this Tournament for me to see what they can do now." Spencer explained.

"See what they can do?" Casey inquired. "Haven't you used them before?"

"I practiced but never against real opponents." he admitted.

"Well, you're doing an amazing job." Ray admitted.

"I've never heard of them though, are they a new archetype?" Zarc asked.

"Four different Deck based on real aliens." Spencer answered.

"Aliens?" Stacy asked hearing that only to frown. "What kinds of aliens?"

"Several. Technology Advanced, Ruthless, Resourceful, Deceiving, and all other things." Spencer answered.

Declan frowned hearing that. "Could we see them?"

"I don't see why not as long as you give them back."

With that Spencer takes out four Deck Boxes from his robe handing them over. They all started looking through his cards only for Terri to pause seeing one of the cards.

"Guys, this is a Hive card!" she cried in shock.

Surprised hearing that Spencer asked her, "You know the Hive?"

"That's... a long story." Ray admitted. "How much do you know about the Interdimensional War from a few years ago?"

"Not much. It was a big terrible event so I don't pay attention." Spencer answered.

"I see, well without going into too much detail the events leading up to and surrounding it were caused by someone named Sardon." Ray explained. "He played Hive cards and was an alien so... you can understand our surprise seeing you have similar cards."

"Don't get the wrong idea though, we're not saying you're working with him... you're not right?" Stacy asked nervously.

Spencer shook his head no.

"I had a feeling." Casey nodded. "You don't feel like he did... maybe after the tournament we can tell you more about what happened and you can spend some time with us?"

"If you don't mind." Spencer answered.

"Of course we don't, the more the merrier." Zarc smiled as they all gave his cards back.

He takes them before they heard the chef called, "Order up!"

Hearing that everyone looked over. The chefs made a large lunch for them.

"Oh wow, it looks amazing." Stacy smiled.

"You want to come join us Spencer?" Alex offered him with a smile.

Spencer stared before nodding standing up, "Alright. I need to be more social anyway."

"You can sit with me and Casey." Riley offered with a smile.

Spencer nodded walking, and sitting with them to enjoy themselves in lunch.

"Oh yeah, that new card you played was really cool Terri." Hart smiled.

"Yeah, too bad I didn't get to use my new Ritual." Yuki shrugged.

"Not yet, but we can always duel after the tournament." Yugo pointed out. "I've got some new Synchro monsters I wanted to bring out too."

"Like what?" Gale asked curiously.

"That's my secret Gale." Yugo chuckled.

Gale sighed shaking her head with a smile.

"How are your twins doing Rin? Twins are harder to have then just one." Ray asked Rin curiously.

"They're doing ok... moving a lot watching the tournament." Rin admitted while rubbing her tummy.

Alex smiled laying her head against it with a smile. Rin gently rubbed her head.

"How about yours Ray?" Zuzu asked curiously.

"Well not really showing yet but it's getting close to month 1." Ray answered with a smile.

"By the way, how's Ace doing?" Sarah inquired.

"Excited might be an understatement." she said with a giggle.

She smiled at that. "I'm not too surprised, he's going to be a big brother after all."

"What bout you two?" Bonnie asked the female Magicians.

"We're doing well." White Wing smiled.

"Any day now huh?" Yuya asked them with a smile.

"Ideally." Blue Frost nodded before sighing. "I'm a little bit scared though. Zigfried suggested I have the baby at his mansion."

"Well home births are faster then hospital ones so that might be the best route. You should still have a doctor so no trouble will happen." Rocky suggested.

"I know, and I'm planning on having one be there." she nodded.

"Hey Julie how bout you?" Celina asked Julie.

Julie blinked at that, "What about me?"

"Are you having one yet?"

Julie widen her eyes before shaking her head, "No, no no no not right now! Me, and Purple Poison are taking some time with each other before we try THAT."

"Really, I'm surprised." Yugo admitted. "I would have thought you two would be trying already."

"Well Julia, and Double-Iris are not having one yet so we're following their example." she answered.

Double Iris blushed at that.

"Well, we might try after the tournament." Julia admitted.

"Well Cathy how you doing with your's?" Julie asked said girl.

"I'm doing ok, and so is my little one." she smiled.

"How are you taking it Black Fang?" Stacy asked him.

"I'm a little nervous to be a father but... I'm happy." he smiled.

"Well my old house is still open for you guys to raise them in." Larsa smiled hearing that.

"Thanks, we appreciate that." Cathy smiled.

After finishing up lunch they walked back to the arena feeling full. Dawn looked over to Ace. He was blushing and walking with Sandy and Chōko while she could see a faint image of Mermail Abyssdine there too. Blinking she walked beside them, "Hey Ace?"

"Huh? Oh hi big sis." he smiled seeing her.

"Is something wrong?" she asked her brother.

Ace's blush got brighter as he shook his head. "Um... no big sis, nothing's wrong."

"Ace you can tell me." Dawn smiled, "And maybe why Abyssdine is with you?"

"You can see her big sis?" Ace asked blushing even more while Sandy and Chōko giggled slightly.

"Alright I'll ask Sandy, or Chōko what's wrong." Dawn smiled to him.

"NO!" Ace panicked blushing brighter. "It... Sandy, Chōko, and Alice all said they think I'm cute and... other stuff."

Dawn blinked at that, "Are you saying that... Chōko, and Abyssdine are in love with you?"

Chōko blushed but nodded. "Ace is really sweet, and funny."

"Abyssdine said the same thing, she could tell how much Ace cares about people and his cards too." Sandy added. "He inherited his daddy's ability to connect with his monsters."

Dawn looked before asking, "Acey, do me a favor okay?"

"Yeah big sis?" he asked her.

"Take good care of all three of them well okay?" Dawn asked him looking serious which makes him nervous.

"I promise big sis." Ace mentioned nervously.

"Okay good, then it's okay for me." Dawn said with a smile before saying, "Now come on time for us to see who's next."

Ace nodded only to pause and blush. "Um... big sis? Big bro Purple Poison and uncle Yuri won't tease me will they?"

"I don't know." Dawn answered.

Ace looked nervous as they walked to the stadium. When they arrived they see Melissa, and Nico waiting before the female reporter called, "Alright welcome back everyone!"

"Let's us finish up the matches on round 2! Take a look at the big screen for our final two match ups!" Nico announced as the four pictures shuffled together.

Everyone watched as the duels were revealed to be Shay dueling Leo and Mokuba taking on Rocky.

"Well not me, and Leo again." Rocky said seeing that.

"Not in this round anyway." Leo mentioned.

"Well good luck Leo." Alex smiled kissing his cheek.

"Thanks Alex." he smiled kissing her back before turning to Shay. "I have a few new tricks to try out."

Shay nodded as they walked to the field.

"Alright, let's see what kind of duel we have for these two." Melissa mentioned as they turned to see what the duel would be.

They ready themselves before Shay asked him, "Do you want to go first?"

"You can Shay." Leo smiled as they saw they were having a Master Duel.

"Two level four monsters, that means Force Strix right?" Leo recalled.

"No. Like you, I also have new tricks." Shay said to him.

Leo's eyes widened hearing that before grinning. "Ok then."

"Appear the circuit of the Raidraptors!" Shay called as the Link Circuit appeared.

"Oh, that's different." Leo admitted seeing that.

Fuzzy Lanius, and Vanishing Lanius entered the two bottom diagonal arrows, "I Link Summon! Link 2, Raidraptor - Wise Strix!"

"Oh, and Shay starts things off with a Link Summon." Nico announced.

"And when this bird is summoned, I can take a Level 4 DARK Winged Beast from my Deck, and summon it in Defense Mode! However it's effects are negated, and it can't be used for a Link Summon." Shay said as a card ejected from his Deck allowing him to take it.

"And now I overlay Mimicry Lanius, and Strangle Lanius!" Shay called as the two glowed purple flying up into the Overlay Network.

Leo's eyes widened but he was grinning seeing that.

The Overlay Network formed as Shay called, "Avian hunter of the afterlife, seek the truth with your dark eyes, and grasp glory with your sharp talons! Xyz Summon! Take flight! Rank 4! Raidraptor - Force Strix!"

(ORU: 2)

"Not bad." Leo smiled.

"Next up, I use it's ability. By using an Overlay Unit, I take Raidraptor - Booster Strix from my Deck to my hand." Force Strix takes a unit while Shay shows the card. Along with that as he has a Winged Beast other then itself, Force Strix's other ability allows it to get points.

Force Strix: (ORU: 2 - 1/ATK: 100 + 500 = 600/DEF: 2400 + 500 = 2900)

"Then next Wise Strix's ability activates! When a DARK Xyz Monster uses it's ability while in the zone it points too 1 Rank-Up-Magic card is set to my field." Shay said taking a card before placing it down.

"Shay's really starting off strong in this match." Melissa announced. "Can Leo hold his own against him?"

"Then Mimicry Lanius' effect! By banishing it the turn it's in the graveyard, I take 1 Raidraptor card from my Deck, and add it." Shay said taking a card from his Deck. Placing it in his hand he takes another card, and placed it down, "Finally I end my turn with one card face-down."

"Telefon?" Alex asked with a blink.

"Leo got a few new cards." Luna explained to her.

"Now, I'll use Telefon's ability to roll a die and then what happens next depends on what I roll." Leo smiled.

"That sounds a bit like Celfon. What's the difference?" Shay asked him.

Leo just grinned as the die appeared before landing on a five.

"Nice, since I rolled a five first I gain 500 life points." he explained.

(Leo: 4500/Hand: 4)

"Then, I can summon a level five or lower Morphtronic from my graveyard and I have Morphtronic Boarden who's level three."

"I set two cards and end my turn."

"Whoa Leo got a new Synchro monster?" Tate asked in awe.

"It looks like he did." Stacy agreed seeing the monster.

Shay: 4000

Shay 2nd Turn:

'No attacks... That means he's up to something. What kind of monster is that though?' Shay thought looking at Earfon, 'Ah well, I can't stand here mumbling.' "Alright, I draw!" Shay drew looking.

Leo looked at the field with a smile.

Placing the card in his hand he takes another, "I summon Fuzzy Lanius with it's ability!"

At that the second Fuzzy Lanius popped up cawing.

Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius: (Attack Position)

"Then I use Raidraptor - Singing Lanius' effect in my hand!" Shay called showing the card he added with Mimicry Lanius. "Since I'm controlling an Xyz Monster, I can summon this card!"

"And now when it's summoned, you lose 600 Life Points!" The monster fired a blast at Leo.

Leo braced himself as he was hit.

(Leo: 3900/Hand: 2)

"Now I Overlay all three Raidraptors!" Shay called as the three flew up into the Overlay Network.

Leo smiled seeing that.

"Obscured falcon, raise your sharpened talons in front of adversity, spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Raidraptor - Rise Falcon!"

(ORU: 2)

"Rise Falcon's strong, but Morphtronic Earfon's 1800 defense points are too high for any of your monsters to get past." Leo pointed out before his eyes widened. "Wait, you set a Rank-Up-Magic card!"

"Like this one!" Shay said activating it.


Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Raidraptor" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that target, by using that target as the Xyz Material.

You can banish this card from your Graveyard and 1 "Raidraptor" card from your hand, then target 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card in your Graveyard, except "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force"; add it to your hand.


"Due to the power of Raid Force, I take Force Strix, and advance it by 1 rank!" Shay called as Force Strix glowed flying to the Overlay Network.

Leo frowned seeing that.

"The unseen bold falcon. Reveal your wings' unknown power here and now! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Come forth! Rank 5! Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon!"

Stranger Falcon appeared ready for battle cawing.

(ORU: 2)

"2000!" Leo asked in shock seeing the monster.

"Next Rise Falcon's ability activates! By using an Overlay Unit, it gains the attack points of your Synchro Monster!"

Rise Falcon: (ORU: 3 - 2)

Earfon shot a beam which Rise Falcon absorbed. (ATK: 100 + 1200 = 1300)

Leo looked at the monsters nervously. "I'll lose most of my life points from your attacks."

"Well first off Wise Strix's ability takes a second Rank-Up-Magic card from my Deck, and set it!" Shay takes a card setting it before adding, "Then Stranger Falcon's ability activates! By using an Overlay Unit, it destroys a monster on your field, and you take damage equal to that monster's attack points!"

Stranger Falcon takes a unit. (ORU: 2 - 1) That was before it fired a blast at Earfon. Leo's eyes widened as Earfon shattered.

(Leo: 2700/Hand: 2)

"And now Rise Falcon attack Leo directly!" Rise Falcon cawed charging in.

"I play Morphtronics, Scramble!" Leo cried. "I can negate your attack and summon Morphtronic Remoten from my hand in defense mode."


Morphtronics, Scramble!

Rise Falcon flew back before Shay called, "You still got Wise Strix! Attack!" Wise Strix attacked Remoten at this.

Leo cried out as Shay's monster destroyed his monster.

"And now Stanger Falcon! Your turn!"

Stranger Falcon fired a cannon at Leo. The cannons fired as Leo was sent flying and landed on his back.

(Leo: 0700/Hand: 2)

"Oh no Leo!" Alex cried worried for him.

Leo frowned. 'There goes any chance I had of winning. Shay has a Rank-Up-Magic card on his field so no matter what I do I'll lose. He has so many monsters that can beat me.'

"Anything else Shay?"

"That'll be all this turn Leo." Shay said looking at him.

Shay's Hand: 2/Field: Raidraptor - Wise Strix (Extra Monster Zone/Attack Position), Raidraptor - Rise Falcon (Attack Position/ATK: 1300/ORU: 2), Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon (Attack Position/ATK: 2000/ORU: 1), Two Set Cards

Leo 2nd Turn:

Leo drew his card only to sigh and shake his head. "Be honest with me Shay, no matter what I try and do... even best case scenario I deal 3300 points of damage with Power Tool Dragon and Megamorph by attacking Rise Falcon you'll use your Rank-Up-Magic card to beat me. I don't have a chance against you."

"Unless you have something up your sleeve. Something that can change things." Shay told him.

Leo looked before widening his eyes, and them smiled similar to what Yusei does in matches.

"Huh, why's he smiling?" Terri asked seeing that.

Leo looked at Shay, "Okay Shay, if you survive this one you'll win."

Shay raised an eyebrow hearing that.

"I summon Gadget Gamer!"

At that a new machine popped up.

"Whenever this card is summoned, I take a Machine monster that's level 1 from my Deck to my hand." Leo said taking a card before adding, "Then by Tributing Gadget Gamer, I can not only summon that same monster," Gadget Gamer vanished in particles before a card ejected from his Deck, "but also Gadget Hauler from my Deck!"

"What are you planning?" Shay inquired.

"And now I activate Morphtronic Earfon's effect in my graveyard!" Leo called.

"From the graveyard?" Melissa asked in surprise hearing that. "Just what is Leo up to?"

"It can equip onto a Synchro Monster on my field!"

At that Earfon popped up placing themselves on Power Tool Dragon who readied itself.

Power Tool Dragon: (Equipped with Morphtronic Earfon)

Morphtronic Earfon: (Equipped to Power Tool Dragon)

"What's the point of that?" Shay questioned.

"Now Power Tool Dragon can attack your monsters twice every round." Leo said to him with a grin before saying, "Next is Power Tool Dragon's ability. Pick which one." He shows three cards to Shay with backs turned.

Shay frowned. "Take the one on my right."

Leo looked, and smiled, "Just the one, I want. Life Exstream!"

The spell was equipped on Power Tool Dragon.

(This is treated as a Synchro Summon.)


Power Tool Dragon: (Equipped with Life Exstream)

"What's that?" Ace asked curiously.

"Get ready to watch! Power Tool Dragon attack Raidraptor - Wise Strix!"

At that Power Tool Dragon charged in before he called, "And now I activate Life Exstream's effect! Your monster loses 1500 points during damage calculation!"

Shay's eyes widen reaching to use a card, and stopped, 'Booster Strix' effect can't stop it if it can't destroy it. I'll wait until I can destroy those equip cards. I don't know what Earfon can do.'

Wise Strix: (ATK: 1400 - 1500 = 0)

With that Power Tool Dragon's attack hit destroying it, and making Shay stepped back. (Shay: 1700/Hand: 2)

"Not bad... but that wasn't enough." Shay said only to see Leo's grin.

"Actually it's plenty, cause now I use Morphtronic Earfon's effect!" Leo called as the Earbuds on his Synchro monster glowed.

"Oh my, I have a feeling I know what Leo's new monster is capable of and if my guess is right this duel is over." Nico Smiley announced.

"Earfon's effect, while it equips with a monster... that monster can attack twice!" Leo revealed.

"Two... but that means..." Shay started in realization.

"Now Power Tool Dragon attack Rise Falcon!"

His Dragon charged as Exstream's effect activates. Shay while seeing this looked at his field, 'Guess my choice of Rank-Up-Magic Spell card isn't the right one.' In his vision shows the face-downs were Doom Double Force, and Raider's Unbreakable Mind, 'And Leo can use Earfon as fodder for Booster Strix' effect. He's got me.'

Rise Falcon: (ATK: 1300 - 1500 = 0)

As the attack struck Shay only watched before closing his eyes smiling.

Ulrich362: Well... this was, difficult to say the least.

bopdog111: The cards Leo has are new so we had no experienced. Guess we should've given them a spin before then first.

Ulrich362: That said... I guess next up Mokuba will duel Rocky and the final eight will prepare for the rest of the tournament and spend time relaxing before then. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
