Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains but we own the OCs!
"Alright everyone the semi-finals have been decided! Will all four semi-finalists please head down to the arena!?" Nico asked announcing to everyone.
Hart, Mokuba, Terri, and Ace all walked down at that.
"Your four cowpikes are the best to get this far! But now to advance you have to duel each other for the final two to reach the final round!" Melissa said over to them with a smile, "We will start with the last 2 Xyz Representatives, Hart Tenjo, and Terri Obsidian! Are you two ready?"
"I'm ready." Hart smiled. "It's been a long time since we've dueled each other seriously Terri."
Terri nodded with a smile to him, "Be sure not to hold back Hart." She gave a soft kiss on his cheek.
He chuckled kissing her back before taking his place. "Ready when you are."
They both readied as they watched on before they called, "DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: The Takedown by Girl On Fire)

Hart: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
"So who's first?" Terri grinned.
Hart 1st Turn:
"Well, you have that powerful monster so I might need a chance to set up some kind of defense." Hart mentioned looking at his hand. "I'll set two cards facedown and then I'll set a monster facedown in defense mode. That'll do for now."
Hart's Hand: 2/Field: One Set Monster, Two Set Cards
Terri 1st Turn:
"Okay my turn!" Terri drew looking before nodding, "And I'll start by summoning Zoodiac Thoroughblade!"
Thoroughblade rose up readying.
(Attack Position)

EARTH
Level 4
Beast-Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1600
DEF: 0
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can discard 1 "Zoodiac" card, and if you do, draw 1 card. An Xyz Monster whose original Type is Beast-Warrior and has this card as Xyz Material gains this effect.
● If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.
Hart smiled seeing the monster. "Alright, what are you planning Ter-bear?"
"Well since I just summoned Thoroughblade, I discard a Zoodiac to draw a card!" Terri discarded a card, and drew a new one. "Then I activate Monster Reborn!"
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"Which revives the Ramram, I just sent!" Ramram rose up beside her other monster.
(Defense Position)
Zoodiac Ramram
EARTH
Level 4
Beast-Warrior/Effect
ATK: 400
DEF: 2000
If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 "Zoodiac" monster in your GY, except "Zoodiac Ramram"; Special Summon it. An Xyz Monster whose original Type is Beast-Warrior and has this card as material gains this effect.
● When your opponent activates a Trap Card or effect that targets this card (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; negate the activation.
Hart frowned seeing that. "This doesn't look good for me."
"Probably not since I'm doing this!" Terri raised her arm as the two flew up the Overlay Network.
"Two... two, that's... Zoodiac Broadbull right?" Hart recalled.
"Yup!" Terri grinned as the Overlay Network exploded materializing the monster.
"Mighty Bull Zoo Animal, charge through with your Broadaxe of strength, and reach out to all your power to bring desperation to your enemies! Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Zoodiac Broadbull!"
Broadbull rose readying his axe.

(ORU: 2)
Zoodiac Broadbull: (ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000)
Hart swallowed nervously seeing the monster.
"There is something I don't get." Sandy admitted over.
"Huh, what's that?" Dawn asked her.
"Terri's Xyz Monsters can be summoned using only 1 Zoodiac right? So how comes she summons them the normal way?" Sandy asked them confused, "She would keep resources by using just 1 monster."
"That's because her Zoodiac Xyz monsters gain effects and their points from the monsters used to summon them. Thoroughblade lets Broadbull inflict piercing damage and thanks to Ramram if Hart tries to use a trap card that targets Broadbull Terri can use an Overlay Unit to stop that trap." Lulu explained. "The more materials she uses to summon her Xyz Monsters the stronger they are."
"So yeah she can use only 1 of her Zoodiacs but by summoning them normally she can maximize the potential they can do." Shay said over to Sandy. "In addition since Broadbull wasn't summoned with it's alternate summoning condition she can Xyz Summon another copy that way by using a different monster."
"Wow she's amazing. And on top of using ZEUS." Sandy asked amazed before turning over, "Acey how do you think this match will go?"
"Um... I think big sis is going to win." Ace admitted nervously. "She's really strong."
"Next I overlay Broadbull!" Terri called as Broadbull flew up.
"Mighty Dragon Zoo Animal, reach your Halberd among your foes, and bring desperation to anyone who crosses with your path! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Zoodiac Drident!"
Drident rose up readying her halberd with a grin.

This card gains ATK and DEF equal to the ATK and DEF of all "Zoodiac" monsters attached to it as Materials. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy it.
(ORU: 3)
Drident: (ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000)
Hart frowned before grinning. "Your ace monster, he's always been a tough opponent."
"She." Terri corrected to him. "Turns out Drident's a girl."
"Oh, sorry." Hart apologized before looking at Drident. "My bad."
Drident only waved her wave telling him she doesn't mind that he mistake her as a boy. Hart nodded. "What's next Ter-bear?"
"Well next is Drident being overlaid!" Terri called as Drident flew up only for a second Broadbull to lower down.
Zoodiac Broadbull: (Attack Position/ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000/ORU: 4/Gains effect of Zoodiac Thoroughblade/Gains effect of Zoodiac Ramram)
"And by using a Unit," Broadbull takes a unit in his axe. (ORU: 4 - 3) "I take Zoodiac Whiptail to my hand." Terri adds the card.
Hart frowned seeing that. 'Not good.'
"Then I'll place Whiptail on Broadbull due to his ability!"
The monster turned into an Overlay Unit.
Zoodiac Broadbull: (ATK: 2000 + 1200 = 3200/DEF: 2000 + 400 = 2400/Gains effect of Zoodiac Whiptail/ORU: 3 - 4)
"Now Broadbull attack Hart's face-down!" Broadbull charged forward at Hart's face-down.
Hart's monster was revealed to be Photon Lizard which shattered.

"Broadbull's abilities! As Thoroughblade was used to summon a Beast-Warrior Xyz Monster, Broadbull deals piercing damage!" Terri called as Broadbull charged swinging his axe on Hart.
Hart braced himself as he was hit.
(Hart: 2000/Hand: 2)
"Then as Whiptail is an Overlay Unit any monster that battles with Broadbull is banished after damage calculation!" Terri added.
Hart pocketed his monster before frowning. "This could be going better, but I'm not beat yet Terri."
"I know." Terri grinned over before setting 2 cards, "Well let's not keep him waiting!"
Broadbull flew up entering the Overlay Network again. Seeing that Hart took a nervous breath. 'It's coming.'
"Come on Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder!"
Zeus lowered down flying above Terri.

(ORU: 5)
"And there it is Terri's most powerful monster! Does Hart, and his Galaxy-Eyes have any chance of stopping it!?" Nico announced over excited to see ZEUS in action once more.
"It'll take a miracle to beat your most powerful card Terri." Hart admitted. "But well, I'll do my best."
"Well I wonder how you can." Terri grinned before telling him, "I end my turn."
Terri's Hand: 2/Field: Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder (Attack Position/ORU: 5), Two Set Cards

One of his two facedown cards revealed itself.

"I banish ten cards from my deck and then draw two new cards. Hopefully they can help me."

"Since I don't have any monsters I can summon Photon Thrasher in attack mode." he grinned as Thrasher rose up readying his sword.

Terri at that grinned, "Well sorry Hart but can't allow you to summon an Xyz, or Galaxy-Eyes! I use ZEUS' ability!" ZEUS detached two materials at this. (ORU: 5 - 4 - 3) "I use two Overlay Units to send all other cards to the graveyard!"
"Wait a second, I have the spell Hyper Galaxy!" Hart called revealing his second facedown card. "You remember what this does don't you Ter-bear?"
Hyper Galaxy
Quick-Play Spell Card
Tribute 1 monster with 2000 or more ATK, except "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", then target 1 monster your opponent controls with 2000 or more ATK; Tribute it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" from your hand, Deck, or GY. You can only activate 1 "Hyper Galaxy" per turn.
Terri's eyes widen, "Hyper Galaxy... That Tributes 2 monsters from either our fields with 2000 or more attack points to summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
"Exactly, so I'll sacrifice Photon Thrasher and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder." Hart called as ZEUS, and Thrasher vanished before the key appeared and he threw it into the sky. "The galaxy that lurks in the darkness. Become the light of hope and my very servant. The embodiment of light, now descend! Appear now, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
Hart's ace monster appeared roaring.

Though the moment it appeared Galaxy-Eyes vanished.
"Hart... he done it, he got rid of ZEUS!" Yuya cried in shock.
"Yeah, but thanks to ZEUS's ability neither of them have any cards on the field." Jarrod pointed out only to blink seeing Hart smiling.
"Ter-bear, I play Galaxy Zero." Hart mentioned.

"Whoa... So... guess this means you win?" Terri asked with a smile.
"I guess so, I overlay Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Galaxy Knight, and Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon. With these three monsters I build the Overlay Network!" Hart called as a massive blue spear appeared and he threw it towards the Overlay Network along with his three monsters. "Radiant galaxy, here and now become the striking light, and show yourself!

"What a duel, after eliminating ZEUS by using it to summon his ace Hart pulled a turn around, and eliminated all of Terri's life points at once securing his place as one of the two finalists in the final round!" Nico announced over as Terri's picture was crossed while Hart's own picture was displayed as winner.
He walked over and offered her a hand. "You ok?"
Terri looked up before smiling taking his hand, and raised up. "I'm great Hart. I thought no-one can beat ZEUS from how my last matches went."
"I got really lucky." Hart admitted. "But ZEUS won't be a surprise anymore so you should be careful."
Terri nodded walking with Hart together back to the sidelines to watch the next match.
"You're up Acey." Sandy smiled.
"Do your best." Chōko grinned.
"We're all right behind you." Alice agreed.
Ace blushed hearing that as he walked down to the field.
"Alright everyone next up is Ace Akaba vs Mokuba Kaiba for the second match of the semi-finals!" Melissa called over before asking, "Are you two ready!?"
"I... I think so." Ace nodded nervously.

"Alright my turn! I draw!" Mokuba drew looking at his hand.
"And what Ritual will Mokuba Kaiba start off with this time?" Nico inquired with a grin. "He's shown quite a few powerful monsters and quite a few useful cards to bring them out."
Mokuba only grinned before showing Gishki Vision, "Well let's start with Gishki Vision! By discarding this card I can add Gishki Levianima to my hand!" He discarded it as his Deck ejected a card which he takes.
Ace nodded hearing that. "Ok."
"Next I summon Gishki Avance!"

Ace swallowed nervously seeing the monster.
"And since the monster equipped with Execution of the Contract was Tributed, Super Soldier Soul is gone!" Mokuba grinned as astral attacks charged in at Ace's only monster.
Ace's eyes widened as his monster shattered.
"And now Levianima attack him!" Levianima charged down as Mokuba called, "Now his special ability kicks in!" Mokuba drew before showing Reliever, "By drawing a card, and if the card is a Gishki, I can take a look at a card in your hand!"
Ace's eyes widened hearing that.

"I declare the name of a card, and if that card is in your hand you must discard every copy of it!" Mokuba explained to Ace.
Ace's eyes widened hearing that. "But... you know every single card in my hand."
"And the card, I declare is the Ritual Monster you just revealed." Mokuba grinned to him, "Black Luster Soldier - Legendary Swordsman!" A dark mist exit the card as it enveloped Ace's hand infecting one of the cards.
Ace's eyes widened as his ritual monster was destroyed.
"And without the Ritual Monster, Super Soldier Ritual can't do anything to help." Mokuba grinned over to him.
Ace frowned before pausing. "Well... actually it might. I play Beginning of Heaven and Earth!"
His facedown revealed itself to be a trap.

"What?" Mokuba asked surprised.
Ace held up the three cards. "You get to pick one now big bro."
Mokuba frowned looking before he pointed at one of them.
Ace nodded. "Well now I add him to my hand. Ok, next I'll use the effect of Super Soldier Soul in my graveyard. I remove him from play to add Beginning Knight to my hand."
Ace blinked. "You guessed which one it was? Well now I add him to my hand. Ok, next I'll use the effect of Super Soldier Soul in my graveyard. I remove him from play to add Beginning Knight to my hand."
"So it didn't matter if you have just 1 Tribute?" Mokuba asked shocked as a card ejected for Ace.
"Nope." Ace smiled. "I play Super Soldier Ritual, and sacrifice Beginning Knight and Evening Twilight Knight in order to Ritual Summon Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier!"

"So now since I have another Gishki on my field when summoned Reliever takes Vision from my field back to my hand!" Vision vanished heading back to Mokuba's hand.
Ace blinked. "Big bro Mokuba, what are you doing?"
Mokuba only grinned, "I got Vision back to my hand. Know what that means?"
"You get a Ritual Monster." Ace answered.
"Yup, and I choose Evigishki Mind Augus!" Mokuba adds a Level 6 Ritual to his hand before adding, "Next, I place a card down to end my turn."

Ace 2nd Turn:
Ace drew his card before nodding. "I play Pot of Greed!"
He drew his own two cards as his eyes widened. "I use Super Soldier Ritual's effect in my graveyard!"
"Huh?" Mokuba asked as the spell rose up from Ace's graveyard along with Beginning Knight and Evening Twilight Knight.
"By banishing this spell, a Light monster and a Dark monster I can summon a Black Luster Soldier Ritual Monster ignoring conditions so I play the original Black Luster Soldier!" Ace called.

Once per turn, during the End Phase, if this card is in your GY: You can banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your GY, except this card; add this card to your hand.
"3 monsters on Ace's field!" Melissa called seeing this before asking confused, "But just Super Soldier will be enough so what is Ace up too?"
'I don't know what big bro Mokuba has facedown, so in that case...' Ace thought before smiling. "Appear the Circuit of Chaos! The summoning conditions are three monsters with different names, I put Black Luster Soldier, Super Soldier, and Envoy of Chaos in the Link Markers. Circuit Combine!"
Ace's three monsters flew up into the top, bottom-left, and bottom-right markers.

A new Black Luster Soldier rose up readying itself against Mokuba's field.
"A Black Luster Soldier Link Monster?" Mokuba was pretty amazed from what he's seeing.
"Yeah." Ace smiled. "I don't know what you played facedown big bro, but since I used a level seven or higher monster to play him Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos can't be targeted or destroyed by your effects. Attack Gishki Beast!"
The Link monster charged slashing down destroying Beast as Mokuba defended himself.

"And with that the other semi-finalist advancing to the final round against Hart is none other then Ace Akaba!" Nico announced over as the whole audience cheered.
Hearing that Ace started blushing in embarrassment. Mokuba walked over, and smiled, "Well I didn't expect to lose against a Link Monster but you had a good surprise in handy Ace. Good job." He offered a hand.
Ace took it smiling. "Thanks big bro."
"Well now Ace," they turned to see Hart walking with a smile, "now your up against me. If you win against me you win the Tournament. Are you ready?"
"Um... not really." Ace admitted. "You're super strong big bro Hart."
"Well get ready cause the final round is about to start." Melissa smiled to him, "So give everyone a good one Ace!"
He blushed but nodded. "Oh, big bro what deck should I use this time?"
"Well you showed us your Fusion, Xyz, Synchro, and Ritual so far so what's your Pendulum?" Hart asked curiously.
Ace blinked hearing that before nodding. "It's Dinomist."
After a few minutes Ace, and Hart ready themselves on the duel field as Nico announced, "And now everyone, here it is the final duel to end all duels it is Hart Tenjo vs Ace Akaba in the final duel of the first ever Link Tournament!"
"Whoever wins will be declared the Champion of Link!" Melissa called from this, "And they also receive one of three prizes!"
"Now audience are you ready!?" Nico called on to them.
Everyone cheered excitedly at that.
"Competitors are you ready!?" Melissa called to Ace, and Hart
"We're ready!" Hart grinned while Ace nodded nervously.
"Alright then let the final round of the Link Tournament... begin!" Nico, and Melissa called together as Ace, and Hart readied their Duel Disks on a Master Duel.

"When this card is Special Summoned, I take Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon to my hand from my Deck!" Hart adds the card showing it to Ace.
"He already can summon Galaxy-Eyes." Zuzu mentioned.
"Yeah, he isn't holding back." Gale agreed.
"He can't though." they looked too Kite who pointed out while looking at the field, "Take a look at Galaxy Brave what do you notice?"
They looked only for Dawn to frown. "He hasn't Normal Summoned yet, and he has two tributes."
"But he isn't planning to Tribute Summon Galaxy-Eyes." that confused them.
Hart placed the card before calling, "Now I Overlay both Photon Vanisher, and Galaxy Brave!"
Photon Vanisher, and Galaxy Brave flew up entering the Overlay Network.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." Lulu smiled.

"Oh and Hart has already brought out his key monster. How will Ace handle this galactic dragon?" Nico inquired.
Ace grunted seeing this.
"Next up I place down two cards, and end my turn." Hart ended his turn already.

Ace 1st Turn:
"Okay... I draw!" Ace drew looking at his hand.

"That's a good start." Yuya smiled.
"With Plesios for every Dinomist all monsters you have lose 100 points!"
Plesios' fan flew at both of Hart's monsters.
Photon Blast Dragon: (ATK: 1800 - (100 * 4) = 1400)
Photon Dragon: (ATK: 3000 - (100 * 4) = 2600)
"Then I use Limiter Removal!" Ace called using a spell.

"All my Machines have there attack points doubled!"
Rex: (ATK: 2400 * 2 = 4800)
Plesios: (ATK: 1700 * 2 = 3400)
"...Perhaps a little TOO good." Spencer was blinking a bit from this.
"Wait, but Galaxy-Eyes can banish one of Ace's monsters and Limiter Removal destroys the other one." Mir pointed out. "He went to far."
Ace called, "And now Rex attack Galaxy-Eyes!"
Rex roared charging in at Galaxy-Eyes.
Hart blinked before calling, "Galaxy-Eyes' ability activates! Photon Escape!" Photon Dragon glowed as Hart called, "By targeting your monster Galaxy-Eyes banishes itself, and Rex until the-"
"Dinomist Ankylos' Pendulum ability activates!" Ankylos glowed from Ace's Pendulum Zone as he called, "It negates an activated effect that targets a Dinomist, and destroys itself!"
"What?" Hart's eyes widen in shock as Ankylos shattered which takes away Photon Dragon's attempted Photon Escape.
"He stopped Galaxy-Eyes?" Kite asked in surprise.
"Go Rex!"
Rex charged in tackling Galaxy-Eyes destroying it while Hart winced from the harsh blow. (Hart: 1800/Hand: 1)
Ace isn't finished yet, "Now Rex's ability!" Rex roared loud as Ace then called, "By Tributing Plesios, it can attack again, and if it attacks a monster in defense mode the damage is still dealt!"
Plesios vanished as Rex roared loud.
Dinomist Rex: (Inflict piercing battle damage)
On the otherhand with Plesios gone it's ability is also gone.
Photon Blast Dragon: (ATK: 1400 + (100 * 4) = 1800)
"Dinomist Charge's effect!" Ace takes Plesios card from his Extra Deck, "I return Plesios back to my hand from my Extra Deck!"
"If this hits Ace wins the final match in a single turn." Melissa announced.
"And now Rex attack Photon Blast Dragon!"
Rex roared stomping in as Hart called, "Sorry but I use Blast Dragon's ability!" Photon Blast Dragon takes a unit. (ORU: 2 - 1) "I use one Overlay Unit to summon an old friend! Come on back Galaxy-Eyes!"
At that Galaxy-Eyes rose back from the graveyard for some revenge.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: (Attack Position)
"Huh, but that doesn't change anything." Yuya pointed out. "Ace can still attack Photon Blast Dragon and win."
Rex still charged ahead before Hart called, "I use Photon Change!"

● Special Summon 1 "Photon" monster from your Deck with a different original name than the sent monster.
● Add 1 "Photon" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Photon Change".
"And I send Photon Blast Dragon!" Photon Blast Dragon vanished which made Rex stop it's assault as Hart added a card, "So I take Photon Orbital to my hand!"
Terri let out a sigh of relief. "That was close."
Ace grunted before he looks, and sets a monster, and a card, "I end my turn. I destroy Dinomist Spinos to prevent Limiter Removal from destroying Rex."
His other Pendulum card shattered which defended Rex.
Dinomist Rex: (ATK: 4800 / 2 = 2400)
"A powerful start, but Hart managed to survive Ace's Pendulum onslaught... can he pull off another powerful comeback like he's done so many times before?" Nico inquired.

Hart 2nd Turn:
"Let's see." Hart drew, and smiled at what he drawn.
"I like the look of that." Terri chuckled.
"First I sacrifice Galaxy-Eyes!"
Galaxy-Eyes vanished as Hart added a card, "And I would use the two effects of Photon Change but I'll only add a card; Paladin of Photon Dragon."
"Huh, what is he doing now?" Alice asked in confusion.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling." Sandy admitted.
Hart added a card before he smiled, "Well now Ace your the first I use this on."
"Huh?" Ace looked confused hearing that.
"It's a spell called Last Hope Numbers!" Hart revealed his drawn card showing Galaxy-Eyes on it.
Last Hope Numbers
Normal Spell Card
(This card is always treated as a "Galaxy-Eyes" card.)
Pay half your LP, then target 2 monsters in your GY; for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you can only Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck once, not counting this card's effect, also Special Summon both targeted monsters (but their effects are negated), then, immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 "Number" monster using only those 2 monsters. You can only activate 1 "Last Hope Numbers" per turn.
"By paying half my Life Points, I can summon 2 monsters from the graveyard, and use them to Xyz Summon a Number but I can only Special Summon from the Extra Deck only 1 more time with this card!" Hart explained the spell's effect as he glowed. (Hart: 0900/Hand: 3)
Ace's eyes widened in shock hearing that.
"So now welcome back Galaxy Brave, and Photon Dragon!"
Both monsters rose from the graveyard readying.
Galaxy Brave: (Attack Position)
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: (Attack Position)
"Now overlay!" the two glowed flying into the Overlay Network before it shattered as the sword materialized which he grabbed throwing it at the Overlay Network.
"Darkness and light wandering in the universe. Sorrowful Dragon who sleep in the interstice. Its power of creating opens the door of the truth! Xyz Summon! Appear! Galactic Ultimate Dragon, Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!"
What lowered down was Prime Photon Dragon roaring.

Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is halved unless it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as material.
(ORU: 2)
"That's the monster he used to beat me." Skye recalled. "At least he didn't use Afterglow Dragon this time."
"Next I use Photon Orbital!" The monster appeared equipping on Prime Photon.

Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon: (Equipped with Photon Orbital/ATK: 4000 + 500 = 4500)
"It not only gives it 500 more attack points but it's indestructible to battle!" Hart called over to Ace who grunted. "Next I use Half Shut!" His other face-down flipped.
Half Shut
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it cannot be destroyed by battle this turn, also its ATK is halved until the end of this turn.
"While Dinomist Rex can't be destroyed in battle this turn he also loses half of his attack points!"
Dinomist Rex: (ATK: 2400 x 2 = 1200)
"That's 3300 points of damage if this attack hits." Dawn frowned.
"Dawn it's not 3300." Stacy said over to her.
"Yeah it is, 4500 attack points and Rex only has 1200 is 3300 damage." Dawn pointed out.
"Assuming Hart doesn't just use Prime Photon Dragon's ability." Kelly added.
"Well why wouldn't Hart wouldn't use Prime Photon Dragon's ability? Then Ace will take 4900 points of damage." Terri told them, "Which means when Prime Photon Dragon attacks Ace loses."
"Ace still has a facedown card." Sandy pointed out. "It could protect him."
Hart then called, "Alright now time to-"
"Hold on!" Ace called which caught Hart off guard as Ace called, "I activate Fiendish Chain!"
(face-up)
Fiendish Chain
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card by targeting 1 Effect Monster on the field; negate the effects of that face-up monster while it is on the field, also that face-up monster cannot attack. When it is destroyed, destroy this card.
"Prime Photon Dragon can't attack, and it's abilities are negated!"
Chains trapped Prime Photon Dragon.
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon: (Effects Negated/Cannot attack)
"Told you guys." Sandy smiled.
"Wow, Ace is amazing." Chōko smiled.
"Yeah, he is." Alice agreed.
Hart only smiled, "Well Ace you really had caught me by surprise from this. You should feel proud for such a great match." Ace giggled at that before Hart grinned to him, "But I'm afraid, I have a trick up my sleeve."
"A trick?" Ace asked.
"Watch!"
At that Prime Photon struggled before breaking out of the chains, and jumped up entering the Overlay Network. Everyone looked shocked seeing that.
"Go, Chaos Xyz Evolution!" Hart called as he glowed a violet aura.
"Sorrowful Dragon who sleep in the interstice carrying the key to the truth! Be reborn as my servant carrying the power of the chaotic galactic light! Chaos Xyz Change! Advent, Chaos Number 62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!"
What emerged from the Overlay Network was probably the largest dragon everyone ever seen that is Prime Photon Dragon except it's armor is red rather then blue with three heads on it's shoulders rather then wings and a yellow 62 on it's left leg roaring loud alltogether.
(Attack Position)

● Gains ATK equal to the combined Levels and Ranks of all monsters attached to it as material x 100.
(ORU: 3)
"Hart... he achieved a Chaos Xyz Evolution?" Kite whispered in disbelief.
Ace stared up in shock while Hart grinned, "Congrats Ace you face my newest monster. And since he has Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon as an Overlay Unit he is not only unaffected to your cards but he also gains 100 points for each level and rank of the monsters his Overlay Units are!"
With 24 levels/ranks that means Neo Prime Photon Dragon is gaining a grand total of 2400 attack points as it roared loud.
Neo Prime Photon Dragon: (ATK: 4000 + (100 * 24) = 6400)
"6400, that's too strong." Ace mentioned nervously.
"And now Neo Prime Photon attack Dinomist Rex with Universal Photon Stream of Destruction!"
Neo Prime Photon Dragon charged a large violet blast with all three of it's heads charging up while Ace watched in awe before the dragon fired a blast easily destroying Dinomist Rex, and eliminating Ace in one attack as he cried out launched in the air.
Ace: 0000

"A-A-A-And that's it everyone! The Link Tournament officially has a new champion!" Nico announced to everyone doing his job.
"And his name is..." Melissa trailed off.
The two announcer declared together, "Hart Tenjo!"
Hart's picture appeared on the screen spelling winner with fireworks going off in the background of the big screen. Everyone in the audience started loudly cheering and applauding and even Ace who was blasted away sat up and started clapping for his big brother's victory. Hart walked on over to Ace looking at him with a smile before offering a hand. He smiled taking it. "You're amazing big brother."
"You are too." Hart smiled before looking behind Ace, and smiled. Ace blinked at that before turning around only to gasp as Sandy, Alice, and Chōko all hugged him practically knocking him over.
"Ace, are you ok?" Sandy asked.
Ace stared at the three before he smiled, "Yeah, I had a lot of fun."
They all smiled hearing that.
"Oh, what does Hart get for winning?" Alice asked curiously.
They looked as Nico asked Hart, "Okay Hart you can pick one of three prizes. Money, a new Deck for LID to create, or you duel Zarc."
Hart blinked before he shakes his head, "Well I'll take the money but I'll give it to charity for everyone. But... I'll keep some for me to use on a date with my girlfriend."
"That sounds like a fine choice, and let us offer our congratulations again for your victory Hart." Melissa smiled.
Hart nodded with a smile, and turned around only to get a bone crushing hug by Terri.
"Ack... Terri... can't... breath..." Hart smiled weakly.
"I'm so proud of you my Hart." Terri smiled as she hugs him close losening her strength,
He only smiled hugging her back.
Ulrich362: And with that... the first Link Tournament of the fic reaches its conclusion.
