"And with that, Leo has found victory against Shay's Raidraptors!" Nico announced once they saw Leo's victory.
"That was really close." Leo admitted. "It was a great duel Shay."
Shay nodded with a small smile, "You better be careful against who's next."
"I will be." Leo nodded as they walked back.
"Well, we've reached the end of the second round with two representatives of the Ritual Dimension Mokuba Kaiba and Rocky Farrow dueling against each other.' Melissa announced. "Now the only question is, what kind of match will they have?"
Rocky turned to Mokuba with a grin, "Better not hold back against me Mokuba."
"I won't." Mokuba smiled.
They walked to the field as the spinner rolled ending at Master Duel.
"Master Duel, sounds good to me." Mokuba smiled. "You can go first Rocky."
"Okay." Rocky grinned as they both activated their Duel Disks.
"DUEL!" Rocky and Mokuba called together.

"Now it's been a while, but that triggers Sandstone's ability right?" Mokuba recalled.
"That's right. When Sandstone's banished, it's ability summons itself." Rocky confirmed as Sandstone rose up.

Mokuba grinned. "I thought so, but the next question is do you have any of those in your deck?"
"What does he mean?" Ace asked confused.
"He means a Link Monster." Ray answered.
"Sadly no I don't. But I don't really need them." Rocky said to Mokuba with a grin, "Let me show ya like so. First let's summon Stone Army of Marble!"
At that Marble rose up.

"Three monsters." Mokuba frowned.
"All of which here." Rocky grinned revealing Polymerization.
Polymerization
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.
"I had a feeling you'd do that." Mokuba admitted.
"Well don't wait long!" Rocky called as the three fused.
"Warrior of Sandstone! Warrior of Marble! Warrior of Calcite! Combine forces to form into a truly indestructible barrier! Fusion Summon! Level 10! Stone Army of Corundum!"
With that a large statue shaping as Orichalcos Shunoros made of corundum rose up.

You can only activate this effect of "Stone Army of Corundum" once per turn.
Mokuba smiled seeing the monster. "Alright."
"That's a new monster..." Mir admitted seeing it.
"It looks strong mommy." Chōko admitted.
"And with this bad boy, I can banish 1 stone warrior from the graveyard to draw 2 cards, and banish 1 of them." Calcite's card vanished as he drew two cards before pocketing a second, "For every Stone Warrior that's banished, he gains 300 attack points."
Corundum glowed bright as he laughed, "Hahaha! Oh yeah!"
Corundum: (ATK: 2700 + (300 * 2) = 3300)
"3300, you're not holding anything back." Mokuba admitted seeing that.
"To do so would be insulting." Rocky said with a grin setting two cards, "Alright your move."
Rocky's Hand: 0/Field: Stone Army of Corundum (Attack Position/ATK: 3300), Two Set Cards
Mokuba 1st Turn:
Mokuba drew his card before nodding. "I start by discarding Gishki Vanity from my hand. By doing that you can't use any cards or effects when I try to Ritual Summon Rocky."
"So Rocky can't stop Mokuba when he Ritual Summons?" Sandy asked.
"That's right." Kelly smiled.
"Now, I'll play Gishki Aquamirror from my hand and as a sacrifice I'll use Gishki Vision to count as the entire sacrifice." Mokuba called.
Gishki Aquamirror
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Gishki" Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from the field or your hand whose total Levels equal the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon.

"Hmmm..." Rocky gives into thought.
"Next, I'll discard Gishki Emilia to activate Soul Ogre's ability." Mokuba continued discarding the card. "I return Stone Army of Corundum to your hand, or in this case your Extra Deck!"
At that Soul Ogre let out energy that forced Corundum to leave the field. Rocky only grinned not bad, "But I got Stone Replace!"
Stone Replace
Normal Trap Card
When a "Stone Army" monster leaves the field by a card effect: You can banish that monster, then Special Summon 1 "Stone Army" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck who's Level equals the Level of the banished monster's, ignoring summoning conditions. You can only activate 1 "Stone Replace" once per turn.
Mokuba's eyes widened hearing that.
"Since your effect made Corundum leave the field, I get to summon another Stone Warrior from my Extra Deck that's the same level." Rocky explained with a grin.
"Another level ten?" Mokuba asked in shock.
"One you should remember! Come Stone Army of Limestone!"
At that what rose was his ace Fusion Monster.

You can only activate this effect of "Stone Army of Limestone" once per turn. "Stone Army" monsters you control cannot be targeted for attacks or effects except this one.
"Your ace monster." Mokuba whispered seeing it before looking at the last card in his hand. "I set this and end my turn."
"First due to it's effect it gains 200 points for every Stone Warrior banished."
Limestone: (ATK: 2400 + (200 * 3) = 3000)
"I remember." Mokuba nodded.
Mokuba's Hand: 0/Field: Evigishki Soul Ogre (Attack Position), One Set Card
Mokuba: 4000
Hand: 0
Field: Evigishki Soul Ogre (Attack Position), One Set Card
Rocky: 4000

Field: Stone Army of Linestone (Attack Position/ATK: 3000), One Set Card
Rocky 2nd Turn:
"My turn draw!" Rocky drew looking before calling, "Alright first is Linestone's ability! By banishing every Stone Warrior from the graveyard, you lose 200 points for each one!"
Mokuba braced himself as the rocks hit him.
(Mokuba: 3600/Hand: 0)
With two more Stone Army monsters banished Limestone gains another 400 points.
Limestone: (ATK: 3000 + (200 * 2) = 3400)
"And of course once Sandstone is banished he comes back!" Rocky grinned as Sandstone rose up again.
Stone Army of Sandstone: (Attack Position)
"I remember." Mokuba nodded.
"Then you should remember the second half of it's ability." Rocky grinned.
Curiously Mason asked, "What second half?"
"He can summon another banished Stone Army monster." Riley answered.
"So rise up, Stone Army of Obsidian!"
The Obsidian Statue rose up beside Sandstone.
(Attack Position)
Stone Army of Obsidian
EARTH

Rock/Effect
ATK: 1400

If this card is in your GY while you control a "Stone Army" Fusion Monster: You can banish this card to Special Summon one of your banished "Stone Army" monsters but negate it's effects. When this banished card is Special Summoned: You can banish "Stone Army" monsters you control including this card to Special Summon 1 "Stone Army" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck in Attack Position that has those cards as Fusion Materials. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) You can only activate each effect of "Stone Army of Obsidian" once per turn.
Mokuba's eyes widened. "Obsidian... that's the one that lets you Fusion Summon!"
"And the monsters in question is Obsidian, Sandstone, and of course Limestone himself!" Rocky called with a grin as the three flew up fusing together.
"Fusion your ace?" Mokuba asked in shock.
"Warrior of Obsidian! Warrior of Sandstone! Warrior of Limestone! Merge together, and made from the hardest stone join here! Fusion Summon! Emerge Level 12! Stone Army of Pearl!"
What was rose up was an even larger statue made purley out of pearl.

If this card is destroyed: You can Special Summon 1 "Stone Army" Fusion Monster from your GY, ignoring summoning conditions. You can only activate each effect of "Stone Army of Pearl" once per turn.
"This is my kind of duel!" Rocky declared with a grin as Pearl shined on everyone.
"That's... your most powerful monster." Mokuba whispered seeing it.
"One that gains 600 points for every banished Stone Warrior."
Calcite, Obsidian, Limestone, Corundum, Marble, and Sandstone all gave Pearl strength.
Stone Army of Pearl: (ATK: 1000 + (600 * 6) = 4600)
"4600... I don't have anything even close to that strong." Mokuba frowned.
"Then maybe you don't mind it's attack!" Rocky called as Pearl attacked Soul Ogre.
Mokuba braced himself as his monster was easily destroyed.
(Mokuba: 1800/Hand: 0)
"That thing's gonna be tough for him." Kelly frowned worried for her boyfriend.
"No, because Rocky's about to lose." mentioned a voice from behind her. "Just watch."
"Huh?" Kelly looked behind her.
It was Kaiba with a smirk. "This is exactly what Mokuba wants."
"Alright Mokuba your move." Rocky grinned.
Rocky's Hand: 1/Field: Stone Army of Pearl (Attack Position/ATK: 4600), One Set Card
Mokuba 2nd Turn:
Mokuba drew his card. "I activate the effect of Gishki Aquamirror in my graveyard!"
"What? A graveyard effect?" Rocky asked.
"I can shuffle Aquamirror into my deck to add Evigishki Soul Ogre back to my hand." Mokuba revealed.
'Better stop that!' Rocky thought, "Sorry but Pearl's effect activates!" Pearl glowed at that, "By returning Sandstone back to my graveyard once per turn, it negates the effect of a card you try to use, and places it back to your hand!"
Pearl: (ATK: 4600 - 600 = 4000)
Mokuba grinned. "I was hoping you'd do that. I play the trap Aquamirror Meditation!"
Aquamirror Meditation
Normal Trap Card
Reveal 1 Ritual Spell Card in your hand to target 2 "Gishki" monsters in your Graveyard; return them to the hand.
"By revealing the Gishki Aquamirror in my hand I can add two Gishki monsters in my graveyard to my hand and I pick Evigishki Soul Ogre, and Gishki Vision!"
"You bait me!" Rocky realized.
"That's right, now I'll summon Gishki Chain in attack mode!" Mokuba called.
(Attack Position)
Gishki Chain
WATER
Level 4
Sea Serpent/Effect
ATK: 1800
DEF: 1000
If this card is Normal Summoned: Look at the top 3 cards of your Deck, you can reveal 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card among them and add it to your hand, also after that, place any remaining cards on the top of your Deck in any order.
"When I summon Gishki Chain I look at the top three cards of my deck and if I get a Ritual Spell or a Ritual Monster I can reveal it and add it to my hand."
Mokuba drew his three cards and smiled. "I add Gishki Zielgigas to my hand!"
"That's Mokuba's strongest Ritual. But will it be enough?" Dawn asked.
"I use Gishki Aquamirror, sacrificing Gishki Vision to Ritual Summon Evigishki Soul Ogre again!" Mokuba called.
Evigishki Soul Ogre: (Attack Position)
"Now, I discard Gishki Zielgigas to return Stone Army of Pearl to your hand. Plus since this isn't a destruction effect you don't get to summon anything else!"
Pearl vanished at this as Rocky grunted.
"I attack you directly with Gishki Chain and Evigishki Soul Ogre!" Mokuba called.
The two charge in as Rocky got struck.
Mokuba: 1800
Hand: 0
Field: Evigishki Soul Ogre (Attack Postion), Gishki Chain (Attack Position)
Rocky: 0000
Hand: 1
Field: One Set Card
Mokuba wins!
"And there we have, the final duelist moving on to the third round is Mokuba Kaiba." Nico Smiley announced.
Everyone loud with Kelly trying her best to cheer the loudest.
"We'll finish the tournament tomorrow, until then everyone get some well deserved rest." Melissa smiled.
Everyone at that walked out back to the hotel to rest up with Spencer tagging with the group.
(A/N (Ulrich362): I assume Mokuba's winning move was legal, I'm not sure if he could have added Aquamirror through Pearl's effect though.)
"This tournament keeps getting more and more interesting." Jarrod chuckled.
(A/N (bopdog111): Well the effect specifies adding the negated card to the hand so yeah it does.)
"Interesting for the better." Mir smiled.
"That's true." Zarc nodded.
"It's almost a shame the tournament is so close to being over." Lulu admitted.
"Now it's just the 8 of us." Terri said before smiling to the remaining finalists, "How do you guys feel?"
"Honestly, really nervous." Hart admitted.
"I agree, you're all really skilled duelists." Skye mentioned.
"Even him." Sandy smiled to Ace.
He blushed at that as his three girlfriends sat around him.
"So Ace mind telling us who this is?" Stacy asked noticing Alice.
"Oh... this is Alice." Ace answered. "She's Abyssdine big sis."
Alice kissed his cheek with a smile, "And third of his special someones."
Ace blushed at that.
"Aw how cute." Kelly giggled at that.
"Ace, take good care of my little girl ok?" Tate told him.
"O-Okay, Mr. Tate." Ace nodded to him.
Tate nodded before smiling. "I'm just teasing you, I know you'll be a great boyfriend to all three of them."
Meanwhile Declan was frowning. "Spencer?"
Said boy looked over, "Yes Mr Akaba?"
"Now that we have a bit more time I think you should hear the entirety of what we went through, the Dimensional War." Declan explained.
Spencer nodded sitting down for him to listen in.
"I suppose the place to start would be the Original Dimension." Declan stated before beginning to explain the war and what happened in it.
Spencer listened in giving nods, and frowns as he listened the stories.
"Ultimately, Zarc and Dawn were able to defeat Sardon and the five Magicians managed to teleport him away from us for the time being... though he could return at any time." Declan finished.
Spencer closed his eyes, "I'm sorry if I'm reminding you all of bad memories."
"It's the opposite actually, do you remember what I told you about how Zarc defeated Sardon?" Declan inquired.
"He used the spell, Love for Daughter and Family." Spencer answered.
"Not that, he defeated Sardon by using Supreme King Z-ARC, the same monster Sardon himself played to defeat so many of us." Declan clarified. "He may have used the Hive Cards just like you, but that doesn't mean you're using them for the same reason or that they bring us bad memories."
"Are they really Hive cards though?" Rocky asked confused.
"They look like Hive cards to me." Rin admitted.
"Well now, you got someone on your side in case he pops up." Spencer said to them.
"And we're on yours." Stacy smiled.
Spencer smiled back as they walked together only for Blue Frost to gasp.
"Are you ok?" Kelly asked seeing that.
Blue Frost looked down before patting her belly, and turned to Ray, "Ray?"
"I know that look." she smiled putting a hand on Blue Frost's stomach.
Blue Frost smiled as Ray feels a kick before Blue Frost asked her, "How long has it been since me, and White Wing are pregnant?"
"I think... close to eight months by now." Ray answered.
Blue Frost nodded before saying, "I better get to Zigfried's mansion. Us magicians are known to have kids 1 month earlier."
"Alright." Ray nodded. "I'm sure he'll be surprised."
Turning to White Wing, Blue Frost asked her, "How do you plan to have your baby?"
"I... haven't decided yet." White Wing admitted.
Blue Frost nodded before patting her tummy before telling to Kelly, Yuki, and Gale asking them with a smile, "Would you three like to come with me?"
"Alright, if Zigfried won't mind." Yuki smiled.
They nodded before heading out. While their walking out Blue Frost asked White Wing, "Should I call Broder, White?"
"Yeah, that would probably be a good idea." she nodded blushing.
Blue Frost pulled out her phone calling Broder.
Later...
The four found Zigfried's mansion, and Blue Frost ringed the doorbell.
"One moment." stated a calm male voice before the door opened. "Ah, lady Frost... Please come in."
"Is Zigfried home?" Blue Frost asked as they went in.
"Yes, I'll let him know you're here." the butler told her.
She nodded as they walked with her sitting down on a recliner sighing from getting off her feet. Gale and Yuki both gently rubbed her belly.
A few minutes later...
"Blue Frost?" Zigfried asked walking down. "How are you feeling?"
Turning to him she smiled, "Hi love." She gets up grunting from effort prompting Zigfried to help her up, "I'm doing alright. I just reached 8 months as of now."
"It's almost time then, and you decided on the name Chris?" Zigfried recalled.
"Yes." Blue Frost answered with a smile, "And we Magicians get our kids 1 month before the date for humans. Are you looking forward to being a Dad, Zigfried?"
His eyes widened. "I... yes, I am."
She smiled kissing his cheek at this before smiling taking his hand placing it on her belly where he feels some movement. Zigfried's eyes widened before he helped her up. "I'll have a bath prepared for you."
That made her let out a high sigh, "Oh thank you so much. I could really use one right now."
Zigfried smiled at that.
Later at Night...
White Wing was on a rocking chair in the hotel room rocking back, and forth sighing. The door soon opened. "Sorry I'm late, how do you feel?"
She turned over hearing that, and smiled, "Hey love."
"So... it's time?" Broder asked kissing her tummy. "I can't wait to meet Steve.
"What about Bruno?" White Wing asked with a playful tone.
"True." Broder smiled. "Very true."
"Well the babies of us Magicians come in 1 month early then humans. I'm glad your here in case it happens." White Wing smiled to her lover.
"I wouldn't miss this for anything." he smiled. "How can I help?"
She kissed him before suggesting, "Sleep with me?"
Broder chuckled. "Sounds good to me."
With that said them both laid down together as White Wing blinked before smiling grabbing Broder's hand, and placing it on her belly where he feels some movement. He smiled and kissed White Wing gently. "Our baby is almost here."
"Yeah, he almost is." White Wing smiled snuggling close to him.
