bopdog111: Well we seen the Ignis being included.
Ulrich362: True, though unlike before they're a creation of the Leo Institute and were directly involved in their own creation so they're more able to coexist with humanity.
bopdog111: They can help for events after the tournament.
Ulrich362: True, speaking of which time to start the third round. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains but we own the OCs!
It was a day since yesterday when the babies we're born but now it's next up for the third round of the Link Tournament where there all gathered up.
"We've finally reached it duel fans, the final day of this intense tournament that crossed dimensions and now only eight duelists remain." Nico Smiley announced.
The final eight pictures appeared the rest of the stepped forward.
"One of these lucky eight will emerge as the champion, but the question is who will that talented duelist be?" Melissa inquired. "Well, there's only one way to find out right?"
"Indeed! Everyone pay attention to the big screen to announce our match ups!" Nico Smiley called as the screen shuffled the pictures.
Everyone watched to se who would duel first. The four matches we're revealed.
Spencer vs Ace Akaba
Lulu Obsidian vs Terri Obsidian
Leo vs Mokuba Kaiba
Skye Zaizen vs Hart Tenjo
Ace blinked turning to Spencer at that as he nodded, Terri smiled turning to her mom who chuckled softly, Leo and Mokuba exchanged a smile, and Skye nodded to Hart who smiled and nodded back.
"Alright everyone clear the field for Ace, and Spencer to start there match!" Nico announced for the eight finalists.
The others all nodded.
"Oh, what kind of duel is it going to be?" Ace asked.
"Let's see as we get here." Spencer said to him before asking, "So what Deck are you going to be using?"
"I'd like to keep it a surprise." Ace admitted.
"The only Decks I haven't used yet is Cabal, and Hive. How bout you choose what I use?" Spencer suggested to him.
Spencer takes his out his two remaining Decks in his hands for Ace to pick which. Ace looked before picking the one in his right hand. Spencer checked the bottom card of the Deck before he said to Ace, "Well your against the Hive, the Synchro Deck I have."
"Synchro." Ace repeated. "Then, I'll use my Synchro Deck."
Spencer nodded as before they looked seeing the spinner as it rotated around stopping at 'Speed Duel'.
"A Speed Duel, you both know the rules so get ready for the match." Nico told them.
They nodded before Duel Boards appeared before Spencer said, "Probably remove this robe." He pulled it off showing he's wearing a white tank top underneath that has visible tears, and some scars on his upper arms.
Ace's eyes widened. "What happened, are you ok?"
"It's nothing to worry about." Spencer said to him.
Ace looked uncertain but nodded. "Let's have a good match."
Spencer nodded as they readied before they sped off calling, "SPEED DUEL!"

Spencer 1st Turn:
"Okay Ace, I'm first." Spencer said to him.
"Alright." Ace nodded at that.

Ace's eyes widened as he was blasted.
(Ace: 3500/Hand: 4)
"Next I Tune Level 4 Knight with Level 3 Thrall!"
The two flew up as Knight turned to 4 rings, and Thrall passed through in 3 stars.
(LV: 4 + 3 = 7)
"Prince of the Hive! Gather here together to carry on your father's will! Synchro Summon! Level 7, Crota, Prince of the Hive!"

Seeing the monster Ace shivered only to pause. "Wait... Crota? Like, the fist of Crota?" A blast struck him as he asked that. (Ace: 2500/Hand: 4)
"The very same." Spencer answered.
"Big sis said that the mean person was the fist of Crota... does that mean you have him in your deck?" Ace asked hesitantly.
"Sardon? Oh no." Spencer answered.
"But... he's a hive person isn't he?" Ace asked.
"He was expelled." Spencer answered.
Ace nodded hearing that. "Ok."
"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Spencer ends his turn.
Ace looked at the field before taking a nervous breath.

"I take a look at my top 5 cards for a Hive card. After adding one, I send the others to the graveyard." Spencer told Ace.
Ace nodded. "Ok."
Spencer drew his top five cards before taking a look, and revealing them before sending 4 cards to the graveyard, and then called, "Now Crota attack Shiranui Spiritmaster!"

Crota rose up on a knee.
Crota, Prince of the Hive: (Defense Position)
Ace's eyes widened seeing that. "Oh, well my trap also means I have to banish a Shiranui monster so I pick Shiranui Smith and his effect means my Zombie monster can't be destroyed in battle this turn."

"I have to banish Shiranui Squire because I summoned him with Spiritmaster's ability, but since he was banished I can draw a card and then discard a card." Ace explained drawing and then discarding his card. "Now, Samuraisaga attacks Crota!"
Samuraisaga charged forward slashing down on Crota destroying him. Not fazed Spencer points out, "Whenever Crota is destroyed he revives!" The graveyard portal opened as Crota starts to emerge.
Ace frowned as the monster reappeared.

You can only activate 1 "The Taken Hive" per turn.
"So now Knight, or Wizard each are treated as non-Tuners for the rest of this turn." Spencer explained to Ace.
"Huh, why would you do that?" Ace asked.
"Because the monsters I plan to use are both Tuners." Spencer answered gesturing to Wizard, and Knight.
"Wait, you're summoning another Synchro Monster?" Ace asked nervously.
"Level 2 Wizard tunes with Level 4 Knight!" Spencer called as the two flew up while Wizard turns to 2 rings as Knight turned to 4 stars.

"I use it to banish Samuraisaga and then I don't take any damage this turn!"
"No damage? At all?" Spencer asked surprised.
Ace nodded. "Plus, since Samuraisaga was banished Crota loses 500 attack points."
Crota: (ATK: 2500 - 500 = 2000)
"Not only removes damage but also weakens a monster..." Spencer trailed off at that.
"That's enough to keep Ace in the game for another turn, but will it be enough?" Melissa inquired.
"Well since Knight was sent to the graveyard while a Hive Synchro's on the field, I draw." Spencer said drawing before setting two cards, "I end my turn."
Spencer's Hand: 0/Field: Crota, Prince of the Hive (Attack Position/ATK: 2000), Baxx, the Hive Gravekeeper (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

"But he isn't staying because I use Samsara's effect to banish him so I don't take any damage again."
"But there's a reason why isn't there?" Spencer asked as Ace's summoned monster vanished.
"When Solitaire is banished I can summon a banished Shiranui monster, and since I have Shiranui Style Synthesis in play I can summon two." Ace explained as Samuraisaga and Squire reappeared.
Shiranui Samuraisaga: (Attack Position)
Shiranui Squire: (Attack Position)
"Well your planning something big." Spencer said staring on wondering what Ace is up too, "Are you planning another Synchro Summon?"
Ace looked at the field before closing his eyes. "Samuraisaga attacks Baxx."
Samuraisaga readied it's blade charging at Baxx who roared charging forward to retaliate.
Samuraisaga slashed Baxx destroying it.
(Spencer: 3800/Hand: 0)
"Well here is Baxx's ability!" Spencer called as the graveyard portal opened, "When he's destroyed you lose 500 points!"
A green necro blast shot at Ace.
Ace cried out being hit.

"So now, Hive Wizard returns!"

"Then I use it's ability! I select a level, and Wizard becomes what I pick."
Wizard meditated before it shifted it's level.
Wizard: (LV: 2 + 1 = 3)
"It seems Spencer is up to something." Melissa announced.
"And that's Level 3 Wizards tunes with Level 7 Crota!"
Wizard turned to 3 rings flying up while Crota flew up synchronizing with the rings turning to 7 stars.
"A level ten?" Ace cried in shock.
(LV: 3 + 7 = 10)
"Prince of the Hive! Send your soul onto a crystal to continue your father's will! Synchro Summon! Level 10, Crota, Mega-Prince of the Hive!"

"When he's summoned you lose 1000 points!"
Crota's crystal form fired a black, and white blast at Ace. Ace gasped.
(Ace: 0500/Hand: 2)
"And now Crota attack Samuraisaga!" Spencer called as Crota shot a second blast at Samuraisaga.
"I banish Shiranui Squire with Shiranui Style Samsara!" Ace cried moments before his Synchro shattered as he drew and then discarded his card.
Spencer at that warns Ace, "Well Ace during your End Phase, Crota deals 500 points of damage. Which means if you can't stop him on your turn he finishes you off."
Ace swallowed nervously at that. "Ok."
"I end my turn." Spencer ends his turn.

"That's the monster he used on me." Chōko recalled at that.
"When Shogunsaga is Special Summoned I can banish a Zombie in my graveyard to have Shogunsaga gain that monster's attack points, and if I banish Samuraisaga not only does he gain 2500 points... Crota loses 500 thanks to Samuraisaga's ability!" Ace called.

"I... I did it?" Ace asked in shock before letting out a sigh of relief. "I think I got lucky... you're a lot better than I am Spencer."
Spencer rubs his head before saying, "Well you didn't get me to use my Skill so that's something."
Ace nodded. "Well, maybe we can duel again sometime?"
Spencer nodded with a smile as Nico announced, "Well everyone with that match the first semi-finalist in the tournament is Ace Akaba!"
The crowd all started to applaud as Ace ran over to his family and friends. "That was really hard. Chōko, Sandy? Can you both help me please?"
"What bout me?" Alice asked with a small playing pout.
"You know how to play Zombie cards and Synchro Summon?" he asked her in surprise.
"I was only asking why you left me out." Alice answered with a giggle.
"I would never leave somebody I love out." Ace pouted. "You would have to be there with us Alice."
"Well I'm not the best in Synchro Summoning." Chōko admitted to Ace, "Daddy had been teaching me."
"Well, if the three of you put your heads together I'm sure you'll master it in no time." Tate smiled.
They all nodded as Sandy then asked, "So does this mean Terri, and Lulu are next?"
"Yeah, but can Lulu stop that powerful monster Terri played?" Stacy asked.
"We'll have to wait and see." Zarc admitted.
Ulrich362: Well, Ace managed to barely take down Spencer... though for now at least it's pretty clear Spencer's the better duelist.
bopdog111: Yeah, and Ace is the first semi-finalist.
Ulrich362: True, and next up... Terri takes on Lulu... that should be interesting. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
