Author's Note
What's this!? A tournament is starting!? You know what Yuya's catchphrase is! The fun is just getting started!
The Slifer Red representative. They are the lowest classed representatives of the Cross Tag Duel Academy, but they are respected in their own right. They represent the attitude a Slifer Red student of the academy must have, in and out of a Duel. This representative can choose their Vice Representative, but the Representative cannot choose one to be a Vice Representative because "they are their favorite person" is the sole reason. With that said, the Representative Tournament is split into two: The New Slifer Reds and the Victor Slifer Reds. There are 32 new Slifer Reds and 8 Victor Slifer Reds. The Victor Slifer Reds are the ones that have defeated the Obelisk Blue students. After the Victor and New Slifer Reds have finished, the winners of each tournament will duel, and the winner of that duel will become the Slifer Red Representative.
Cue: Deja Vu (NOT THE ONE FROM INITIAL D) (The World Ends With You)
The day of the tournament…
Izuku was getting ready to see the New Slifer Red tournament and prepare for his own. 'Man… I wonder what kind of decks I'll see in this school! I can't wait!' He exclaimed excitedly in thought. After he finished getting ready, he ran off to the auditorium with his deck and Duel Disk.
Once he reaches the auditorium, he sees red banners that model a red and black dragon with many yellow eyes. Its body was relatively without an end. "Slifer, the Sky Dragon… One of the Egyptian God Cards…" Izuku described.
"Izuku!" Ochako called, waving to him from one of the seats.
"Oh! Ochako!" Izuku calls back as he runs to her.
"Saved you a seat~!" Ochako declared, patting to the seat beside her.
"Thank you so much!" Izuku bowed gratefully before sitting next to her.
HEEL CLICK
"Slifer Red students, I thank you all for coming." Satsuki said. "Today, tomorrow, and the next day! You will be dueling to determine who amongst all of you fine Duelists will become the representative of the Slifer Red students of this prestigious Academy. One of you will triumph over all others, including those who have defeated the Obelisk Blue students. I have composed two tournaments. We will be using the bigger roster first. Thirty-two of you who have not yet defeated an Obelisk Blue student will be facing each other to see who among you will become the Representative or Vice Representative of the Slifer Red students. Good luck. The students dueling each other will be randomized in between duels." She continued, showing that two names at the bottom left corner are flashing names rapidly and randomly like when you obtain an item in the older Mario Kart games.
Suddenly, the two names stop. "The first two contestants will be… Katsuki Bakugo… and Denki Kaminari." Satsuki announced.
"Katchi's dueling first… Boy, is everyone in for a surprise…" Izuku hummed.
"What do you mean, Izuku?" Ochako asked him.
"Yeah, what'cha mean?" Ryuko repeated the question, sitting behind Izuku the whole time as well as sitting beside Mako.
"I know Katchi's deck in and out. I've dueled it over and over and won a couple of times against it. But… I can never predict him, sometimes. Sometimes, he always finds a way to surprise me. And that's what makes dueling someone like him fun! He's always amazing every time we duel!" Izuku praised him.
"That right…" Ryuko huffed as Katsuki and a golden blonde haired young man in Slifer Red stepped up to the stage.
"Heh! Time to electrify the audience!" Denki exclaimed excitedly.
"Or short circuit. Ya damn extra." Katsuki spat.
"Jeez, is that any way to treat a fellow Slifer Red?"
"Doesn't matter HOW I treat any student. I'm climbing to the top of the ranks anyway. I enrolled in this school to rank high above you guys. You're all just stepping stones." Katsuki taunted, causing some of the Slifer Red students to boo and hiss at him.
"You're friends with that guy…?" Ryuko grimaced. "How are you not bankrupt without your cards? …No, seriously."
"He respects those that can duel really well against him as well as those with Duelist Powers. Enough to leave their money and deck alone. I'm one of them, of course." Izuku smiled at her.
"...Okay then." Ryuko replied.
"Wow… I've heard less boos at a haunted house…" Mako pointed out.
"Yyyep." Ryuko agreed.
"If you are done talking trash, I suggest we begin." Satsuki said. "Are both contestants ready?"
"You know it!"
"Ready to kick his ass single-handedly." Denki and Katsuki respectively answered.
"Then let us begin. The first duel of the first round!" Satsuki exclaimed. "It is time to!"
"DUEL!" Denki and Katsuki shouted at the same time, finishing Satsuki's sentence.
KATSUKI LP: 4000
DENKI LP: 4000
"Katsuki. What is the first letter of the card at the bottom of your deck?" Satsuki asked. Katsuki looks at the card at the bottom of his deck.
"D."
"Denki?"
"Uh… S."
"Katsuki. This time, you get to decide who goes first." Satsuki declared.
"Since you're so confident that you'll beat me, how about you go first?" Katsuki offered him.
End Song and Cue: Sector 7 (Blazblue Chrono Phantasma)
"Sounds good to me! I'll kick off this Duel with the Continuous Spell Fateful Adventure!" Denki started, showing a Spell card with the image of a pair of adventurers departing. "I'll then use its effect. Once per turn, during my Main Phase, I can add a monster that mentions an "Adventurer Token" from my deck to my hand then send one card from my hand to the graveyard! I'll add Water Enchantress of the Temple! Then I'll use her effect! By banishing her from my hand or graveyard, I can add one Rite of Aramesir from my deck or graveyard to my hand! I'll then activate it!" He continued, showing a Spell that has the image of an enchantress surrounded by bubbles. "Since I don't control an Adventurer Token, I can Special Summon one right now!" He declared, summoning a black skinned adventurer.
DEF: 2000
"Now Fateful Adventure's effect! If a monster is Normal or Special Summoned, I can take an Equip Spell that mentions an Adventurer Token from my deck and either add it to my hand or equip it onto one of my Adventurer Tokens! I'll equip Dracoback, the Rideable Dragon onto my Adventurer Token!" Denki exclaimed, summoning a dragon that the Adventurer rides on. "Now, I'll summon Prank-Kids Dropsies!" He kept going, summoning a trio of droplet-shaped kids.
LV: 2
ATK: 1000
"Open! Electrifying circuit! Summoning condition is a level 4 or lower Prank-Kids monster! Get in there, Dropsies!" He commanded, sending his Dropsies into the bottom Link Marker. "Link Summon! Come on out! Link 1: Prank-Kids Meow-Meow-Mu!" He exclaimed, summoning an irritated dog and a flirty cat.
LINK: 1
ATK: 1000
"When Dropsies is used as Link Material for a Prank-Kids Link monster, I gain 1000 Life Points!" Denki declared, a pleasing rain falling on him.
LP: 4000 + 1000 = 5000
"After that, I can Special Summon another Prank-Kids monster from my hand or deck in Defense Position, except Dropsies! I Special Summon Prank-Kids Fansies!" He grunted, summoning wind-based children.
DEF: 2000
"Open again! Electrifying circuit! Conditions this time are two Prank-Kids monsters! Meow-Meow-Mu and Fansies are my choice for materials!" He stated, sending Fansies and Meow-Meow-Mu into the bottom and right Link Markers. "Link Summon! Appear! Link 2: Prank-Kids Dodo-Doodle-Do!" He shouted, summoning a rooster with powers over wind.
LINK: 2
ATK: 2000
"Now, I'll use its effect! When Link Summoned, I get to add a Prank-Kids Spell or Trap from my deck to my hand! But before that can go off, Fansies's effect activates first! This allows me to send a Prank-Kids monster from my deck to the graveyard. After that, I can special summon another Prank-Kids monster from my hand or deck in Defense Position except Fansies! I'll-"
"Hold it right there!" Katsuki interrupted. "I'm activating Infinite Impermanence from my hand!"
"Huh!? But that's a trap card!" Denki pointed out.
"If you bothered to read the card, you'd know that if I have no cards on my field, I can activate this Trap card straight from my hand. Now, I can negate a monster's effect on your field. I choose your Dodo-Doodle-Do." Katsuki told him, electricity crackling around the rooster, weakening it.
"Gh… My Fansies's effect still goes off! I Special Summon a second copy of Dropsies!"
DEF: 1000
"And now my Dodo-Doodle-Doo's other effect!"
"Weren't you listening? Infinite Impermanence negates all of your monster's effects." Katsuki said.
"Not really~ By tributing it, it's no longer on the field! Which means I can still use its effect to add two Prank-Kids cards from my graveyard to my hand~!" Denki denied.
"What…!?" Katsuki growled. Doodle-Doo disappears.
"All right, time to add the Dropsies and Fansies back to my hand-"
"DENIED. PRANK-KIDS DODO-DOODLE-DOO IS STILL NEGATED." A robotic voice stated, to Denki's shock.
"...Huh." Katsuki huffed.
"...N-No sweat! I can still salvage this! Open up a third time! Electrifying circuit! Summoning conditions for this one is 2 monsters, including 1 level 2, rank 2, or Link 2 monster! I send my Adventurer Token and Dropsies to the Link Markers!" Denki continued, sending the Adventurer and Dropsies into the bottom left and bottom right link markers. "Link Summon! Come out! Link 2: Spright Elf!" He shouted, summoning an elf-like monster made of red lightning.
LINK: 2
ATK: 1400
"Spright Elf's effect! This targets a level 2 monster in my graveyard and lets me Special Summon it! Come back! Prank-Kids Dropsies!"
LV: 2
DEF: 1000
"And now I overlay Elf with Dropsies!"
"The hell do you mean? Elf doesn't have a level." Katsuki pointed out.
"Ah, but you see, for this card's Xyz Summon, I can treat a Link 2 monster as a monster that has a level of 2! Now, as I was saying, I overlay Spright Elf and Prank-Kids Dropsies!" Denki exclaimed, sending Elf and Dropsies spiraling into a red vortex. "With these two monsters, I will build the Overlay Network! Feel the static shock! Leave everybody thunderstruck! Come down like a thunderbolt! Xyz Summon! Crackle it up! Rank 2: GIGANTIC SPRIGHT!" He roared, summoning a large being made of lightning.
RANK: 2
ATK: 1600
"While Gigantic Spright has a monster that's a Link, Fusion, Synchro or Xyz monster as an overlay unit, its original Attack Points are doubled!" Denki told Katsuki.
ATK: 1600 X 2 = 3200
"Now, I'll detach the Dropsies I treated as an Overlay Unit from Gigantic Spright to activate its effect! Once per turn, during my Main Phase, I can Special Summon a level 2 monster from my deck. I'll Special Summon Spright Blue!" Denki declared, summoning a being of blue lightning.
LV: 2
DEF: 1000
"Blue's effect allows me to add a Spright monster from my deck to my hand whenever it's Normal or Special Summon. I'll add Spright Jet! Next, since I control a level 2 or rank 2 monster, I can Special Summon Spright Jet!" He kept on going, summoning a being of lightning with a jet on its back.
ATK: 1300
"Next, if Jet is Special Summoned, I get to add a Spright Spell or Trap from my deck to my hand. I'll add Spright Starter then activate it!" Denki continued further, showing a Spell with the image of a blue spark coming from above a red and orange spark."This allows me to Special Summon a Spright monster from my deck, but I lose Life Points equal to that monster's original Attack Points. I also can't Special Summon monsters other than Level, Rank, or Link 2 monsters for the rest of the turn. I Special Summon Spright Red!" He exclaimed, summoning a being of red lightning in a white coat.
DEF: 1800
ATK: 1200
DENKI LP: 5000 - 1200 = 3800
"Open up one more time! Electrifying Circuit! I send Blue and Jet to the Link Markers to summon another Link 2 Spright Elf!"
LINK: 2
ATK: 1400
"And with that, I end my turn." Denki finished.
End Song
"...You did all of that just to summon a bunch of weak ass monsters?" Katsuki speculated.
"Hey! Not all of them are weak! Just take a look at my Gigantic Spright!" Denki told Katsuki.
Cue: Fatal Judge (Blazblue Chrono Phantasma)
"Heh. I'll be happy to tell you how wrong you are. My turn! I draw!" Katsuki exclaimed. "By paying half my Life Points, I activate the Spell Card A Hero Lives!" He started as he showed a Spell that has the image of a hero standing in between harm's way and a civilian.
KATSUKI LP: 4000/2 = 2000
"I don't think so! I activate the effect of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring from my hand! If your card either lets you Special Summon from your deck, send a card from your deck to the graveyard, or add a card from your deck to your hand, I can discard this card to negate that effect! And since it's still the Main Phase of your turn, I can activate Elf's Quick Effect, allowing me to special summon another level 2 monster! Welcome back, Spright Blue!"
LV: 2
DEF: 1000
"Blue's effect lets me add another Spright monster from my deck to my hand! I'll add another Jet."
"Heh… Okay. Not a bad move. I'll give you that. Now then… what will you do about the second one, you third-rate Duelist?" Katsuki smirked like a madman, showing a second copy of A Hero Lives.
"WHAT!?" Denki exclaimed.
KATSUKI LP: 2000/2 = 1000
"That guy's crazy!"
"What kind of deck does this guy run!?" Mako and Ryuko respectively gasped.
"Now, if there's nothing you wanna try, I'll use its effect now. When it successfully activates, I can Special Summon a level 4 or below Elemental Hero from my deck. I Special Summon Elemental Hero Stratos!" Katsuki growled, summoning a blue hero with control over wind.
LV: 4
ATK: 1800
"Now I'll use Stratos's effect-"
"No way, man! I'm using Spright Red's effect! By tributing a monster on my field, I negate the activation of your Stratos's effect! And, if the monster I tributed is a level, rank, or link 2 monster, that monster whose effect I negated is destroyed! I tribute Spright Blue!" Denki denied, making Blue disappear. "I'll leave it with its effect negated."
"Tch. I activate the effect of Vision Hero Faris from my hand after you negate my monster's effect. By discarding another Hero monster, I can Special Summon it from my hand!" Katsuki continued, summoning a metal plated hero.
ATK: 1600
"Now I'll use its effect. When Normal or Special Summoned, I can place a Vision Hero from my deck to my Spell and Trap Zone as a face-up Continuous Trap card. I'll place Vision Hero Increase to my Spell and Trap Zone. Then, by tributing a Hero, I can Special Summon it from my Spell and Trap Zone. I tribute Faris." Katsuki said, making Fairs disappear to summon a purple clothed hero.
ATK: 900
"Next, if Increase is special summoned, I can Special Summon another level 4 or lower Vision Hero monster. I'll Special Summon Vision Hero Vyon!" He continued, summoning a black astronaut-like hero.
LV: 4
ATK: 1000
"Vyon's effect. If Normal or Special Summoned, I can send a Hero monster from my deck to the grave. I'll send Destiny Hero Malicious to the grave. Next, I'll activate the final card in my hand: The Continuous Spell D-Force!" He kept going, showing a Spell card with a large D as its image. "When this card is activated, I can add a Destiny Hero Plasma from my deck or graveyard to my hand! Now, by tributing my three monsters, I can Special Summon Destiny Hero Plasma!" He yelled, summoning a demonic-looking hero.
ATK: 1900
"With D-Force and Plasma on the field, Plasma gains 100 Attack Points for each monster in both players' graveyards. There's currently 14 monsters in both players' graveyards. Therefore, Plasma gains 1400 Attack Points!"
ATK: 1900 + 1400 = 3300
"But wait, there's more! Once per turn, Plasma can equip one of your monsters onto itself. I'll choose Spright Red!" Katsuki kept going, making Spright Red turn into actual electricity that charges up Plasma. "The monster equipped onto Plasma gives half their Attack Points to him."
SR ATK: 1200/2 = 600
PLASMA ATK: 3300 + 600 = 3900
"Oh, and one more thing. As long as Plasma's on the field, every other monster on the field has their effects negated. So guess what happens to your Gigantic Spright." Katsuki glared at Denki.
"HUH!?" Denki gasped as he looked at how weak Gigantic Spright became.
GS ATK: 3200 → 1600
"Battle! Plasma attacks Gigantic Spright!" Katsuki declares as Plasma charges and drives its fist through Gigantic Spright's body, causing it to explode.
ATK DIFFERENCE: 3900 - 1600 = 2300
DENKI LP: 3800 - 2300 = 1500
"Oh, and I lied. There's one other OTHER thing. With D-Force on the field, Plasma can attack twice per Battle Phase." Katsuki added. "G. G." He huffed, Plasma attacking and destroying Elf, making Denki grimace then yell in defeat.
PLASMA ATK: 3900 + 200 = 4100
ATK DIFFERENCE: 4100 - 1400 = 2700
DENKI LP: 1500 → 0
WINNER: KATSUKI BAKUGO
End Song.
The crowd was shocked that Katsuki was capable of a One Turn Kill himself, especially after having not one, but TWO of his cards negated. "Quite the skillful dueling, Katsuki. I look forward to seeing more of it." Satsuki smiled.
"Whatever." Katsuki scoffed as he walked away.
"Wow. That guy's a jerk, but… he's way too good…" Ryuko let out.
"He really is…" Mako nodded.
"If I can have everyone's attention." Satsuki called for the students, everyone looking at her. "Keep your eyes on the far right side of the bracket."
Everyone did so and they saw names flashing randomly on that side. "The next two duelists will be…" The names stop. "Ochako Uraraka against Ryuko Matoi."
"Oh." Ryuko huffed. "Well, sorry, Ochako, but I'm gonna have to kick your ass."
"Oh, you wish~!" Ochako replied.
"Heh. Well, either way…" Ryuko stood up and put a hand in front of her for her to shake. Ochako nods and shakes her hand.
"May the best female duelist win." Ochako wished luck.
"I intend to." Ryuko smirked as the two went to the stage and pulled their Duel Disks out.
'Good luck, sister…' Satsuki thought. "Are both duelists ready?"
"Ready and willing."
"Let's get this started already!"
"Then it is time to…!"
"DUEL!"
RYUKO LP: 4000
OCHAKO LP: 4000
Ochako and Ryuko look at the bottom of their decks.
"D."
"R." Ochako and Ryuko respectively stated.
"Ochako. You get to choose who goes first." Satsuki said.
"I'll go first, if that's fine with you." Ochako told Ryuko.
"That's fine." Ryuko accepted.
Cue: Walpurgisnacht (Blazblue Central Fiction)
"Then I'll go first! I summon Skilled Dark Magician!" Ochako started, summoning a man with a staff in black robes.
LV: 4
ATK: 1900
"Each time either player plays a Spell Card, Skilled Dark Magician gains a Spell Counter. I'll first play the Continuous Spell card Shard of Greed!" Ochako exclaimed, showing a Spell card with the image of a pot's shard. "Each time I draw a card during my draw phase, My Shard of Greed gains a Greed Counter. And since I just played a Spell Card, Skilled Dark Magician gains a Spell Counter!"
SDM SC: 0 → 1
"Next, I'm activating the Field Spell Secret Village of the Spellcasters!" Ochako continued, summoning a bright forest village. "If a player does not control a Spellcaster-type monster, that player cannot activate Spell Cards. If you didn't already know, Skilled Dark Magician is a Spellcaster. Speaking of Skilled Dark Magician, he gains another Spell Counter!"
SDM SC: 1 → 2
"Now, I'm activating the Continuous Spell Arcane Barrier!" Ochako grunted, showing a Spell card with the image of a Spellcaster protecting themselves. "As long as this card is on the field, any time a Spellcaster monster is destroyed, that monster gives this card a Spell Counter! And speaking of Spell Counters…"
SDM SC: 2 → 3
"When Skilled Dark Magician has 3 Spell Counters, I can tribute it to Special Summon from my hand, deck, or graveyard, the one… the only… DARK MAGICIAN!" Ochako yelled, her Skilled Dark Magician disappearing to make a man in purple magical robes, with a green staff, appear before he twirls his staff and strikes a pose.
ATK: 2500
"I place the last card in my hand face down and end my turn." Ochako finished her turn. Ryuko whistles, impressed.
"Nice OG combo to get out your Dark Magician. I never knew you would use Spellcasters. Heh… but you know… I've got ways of my own to get rid of your Secret Village." Ryuko said. "It's my turn now. I draw! From my hand, I'll summon Breaker, the Magical Warrior!" She began her turn, summoning a red clad warrior with magic on his side.
LV: 4
ATK: 1600
"Next, when Breaker is summoned, he can gain a Spell Counter of his own. Then, by removing that Spell Counter, I can destroy one spell or trap on the field! I'll choose the Secret Village of the Spellcasters!"
"I won't let you! I'm activating the Trap Breakthrough Skill!" Ochako denied, showing a trap card with the image of a monster breaking through. "This card negates the effect of your monster!"
"Tch…! I place three cards face down to prepare for your turn. I'll then pass it back to you" Ryuko ticked, doing so.
"It's my turn. I draw! After that, a Greed Counter is added to my Shard of Greed."
GREED COUNTER: 0 → 1
"Battle! Dark Magician-"
"You think I'm just gonna let you do that!? I'm activating the Trap Threatening Roar!" Ryuko denied, showing a Trap that has a monster roaring threateningly at another monster. "This skips your Battle Phase!"
"W-What!? Gh… I place another card face down and end my own turn." Ochako grumbled, doing so.
"Back to me, then. I draw! …Heh. Well, I guess I should thank your Secret Village. It's gonna end up giving ME the benefit of the doubt." Ryuko smiled.
"What do you mean?" Ochako raised an eyebrow.
"I mean… this. Since I control a Spellcaster, I can show you my REAL deck! I'm activating the Spell Card Red-Eyes Fusion!" Ryuko declared, showing a Spell card that has the image of flames fusing into a card.
"You're a Fusion User!?" Ochako gasped.
"That's right. Now, with the effect of Red-Eyes Fusion, I can send materials from my hand or deck to the graveyard needed for my Fusion Monster! I'll fuse Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Gearfried the Iron Knight from my graveyard! Black dragon with eyes of red, fuse with the knight of iron armor! Cut the cord of fate, and face tomorrow… Smash the door down, taking charge all the way! FUSION SUMMON! Appear now! RED-EYES SLASH DRAGON!" Ryuko shouted, summoning a dragon with silver scales and blades in its arms.
ATK: 2800
"Battle! Red-Eyes attacks Dark Magician!" Ryuko declared before Slash Dragon slashes Dark Magician in half, making him explode.
ATK DIFFERENCE: 2800 - 2500 = 300
OCHAKO LP: 4000 - 300 = 3700
AB SC: 0 → 1
"Now Breaker attacks you directly!"
"Not so fast! I play the card I laid face down before your turn came! Magician's Circle!" Ochako exclaimed, showing a trap that has the image of a magical circle on top of a floating platform. "When a Spellcaster-type monster attacks, this card lets us both Special Summon a Spellcaster with 2000 or less Attack Points."
"Crap. And I don't have any of them other than Breaker…!" Ryuko grimaced.
"Too bad for you, because I have one that has exactly 2000~"
"Wait, you don't mean…!?"
"That's right! You met the original, now meet his student! With the effect of Magician's Circle, I'll now Special Summon… Dark Magician Girl!" Ochako declared, summoning a young lady with blonde hair and blue magical clothes.
ATK: 2000
TYPE: SPELLCASTER
"So, still wanna attack with Breaker~?" Ochako provoked.
"Tch. I'll hold off and end my turn for now." Ryuko huffed.
'Ryuko may have the lead in Life Points, but Ochako hasn't backed down yet!' Izuku smiled.
"My turn!" Ochako draws a card.
GREED COUNTER: 1 → 2
"When my Shard of Greed has two Greed Counters, I can send it to my graveyard to draw two more cards!" She declared, making it disappear and drawing two cards. "Now, I'll play the Spell Soul Servant!" She exclaimed, showing a Spell card that has the image of Dark Magician protecting Dark Magician Girl from attacks. "This lets me place one card from my hand, deck, or graveyard, a Dark Magician or a card that specifically lists him or Dark Magician Girl to the top of my deck. I place Dark Magician from my graveyard to the top of my deck. Next, I'll play the Spell Card Sage's Stone!" She continued, showing a Spell that shows a magical stone. "Since I control a Dark Magician Girl, I can Special Summon from my hand or deck a Dark Magician! Come forth, master of the Dark Magician Girl: Dark Magician!"
ATK: 2500
"Finally, I'll play the last card in my hand: Dark Magic Twin Burst!" Ochako declared, showing a Spell card that has the image of both magician's joining together to attack. "This card allows me to target one Dark Magician I control. That monster gains the combined Attack Points of all Dark Magician Girl monsters on the field and in the graveyards! Since there's only one Dark Magician Girl, Dark Magician gains her Attack Points!"
DM ATK: 2500 + 2000 = 4500
"Dark Magician! Attack her Red-Eyes Slash Dragon! Dark Magic Twin Burst!" Ochako shouted, Dark Magician joining staves with Dark Magician Girl before they gather power and shoot a powerful blast of magic that destroys Ryuko's dragon.
ATK DIFFERENCE: 4500 - 2800 = 1700
RYUKO LP: 4000 - 1700 = 2300
"And now Dark Magician Girl, attack Breaker, the Magical Warrior! Dark Burning Attack!" Ochako commanded as Dark Magician Girl goes in front of Dark Magician and blasts a red beam of magical energy, destroying Breaker.
ATK DIFFERENCE: 2000 - 1600 = 400
RYUKO LP: 2300 - 400 = 1900
AB SC: 1 → 2
"I end my turn. During the End Phase, Dark Magic Twin Burst's effect wears off." Ochako stated.
DM ATK: 4500 → 2500
Ryuko smirks. "Thanks for letting me know~"
"Huh? What now!?" Ochako gasped.
"During the End Phase of your turn, I'll activate the Trap Red-Eyes Spirit!" Ryuko revealed a trap that has the image of a Red-Eyes Black Dragon rising from defeat. "This lets me Special Summon a Red-Eyes monster from my graveyard! So give a warm welcome back to Red-Eyes Slash Dragon!"
ATK: 2800
"No way!" Ochako exclaimed.
"And now that you have finished your turn, I draw! Unfortunately, thanks to your freaking Secret Village, I can't activate any Spell Cards because of Breaker being in my graveyard. But who says I NEED a Spell Card to destroy yours? I'm activating my last Trap Card, Raigeki Break!" Ryuko declared, showing a trap that has the image of a monster being zapped by another monster's lightning bolt from its finger. "By discarding a card, I can destroy one card on the field! Bye-bye, Secret Village of the Spellcasters!" She bids farewell as lightning destroys the forest. "Now I can activate another Red-Eyes Fusion! This time, I'm sending an Archfiend Normal monster, Summoned Skull, which is always treated as an Archfiend monster, and another Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my deck to the graveyard! Fiend of lightning, and black dragon with eyes of red! Join in chaos and run down the runway of hell! FUSION SUMMON! COME ON OUT: ARCHFIEND BLACK SKULL DRAGON!" Ryuko roared, summoning a large dragon with metallic bones and flames coming out of its body.
ATK: 3200
"Sorry, Ochako. This is where it ends. Battle! Archfiend Black Skull Dragon attacks Dark Magician Girl!" Ryuko exclaimed as Black Skull Dragon lunges toward the poor girl and smashes her into the ground, creating a shockwave that makes Ochako grunt.
ATK DIFFERENCE: 3200 - 2000 = 1200
OCHAKO LP: 3700 - 1200 = 2500
AB SC: 2 → 3
"Now Slash Dragon attacks Dark Magician again!"
Same as before, Slash Dragon destroys Dark Magician.
ATK DIFFERENCE: 2800 - 2500 = 300
OCHAKO LP: 2500 - 300 = 2200
AB SC: 3 → 4
"It's not over yet…! I'm sure I can draw a Spellcaster! And once I do, I can use the effect of my Arcane Barrier! By sending it and a Spellcaster I control to the graveyard, I can draw the same number of cards as there were Spell Counters on Arcane Barrier. This duel's far from over!" Ochako boasted.
"...You're wrong. This duel IS over." Ryuko denied.
"W-What makes you say that?" Ochako asked.
"During the end of the Battle Phase in which Archfiend Black Skull Dragon battled, I can target a Red-Eyes Normal monster in my graveyard. After that, you take damage equal to that dragon's Attack Points." Ryuko answered. "The only Red-Eyes Normal monsters in my graveyard are two Red-Eyes Black Dragons, each with 2400 Attack Points. You only have 2200 Life Points left. That means… you lose." She stated as Black Skull Dragon emits flames from its mouth, charging up an attack. "You've put up a good duel, Ochako. I'm proud to have you as a roommate… classmate… and a fellow Slifer Red."
"...Yeah. You too, Ryuko~!" Ochako smiled. Ryuko smiled back… then gave a determined glare.
"Black Skull Dragon! Activate your effect!" Ryuko ordered as Black Skull Dragon blasts Ochako with a mouth full of flame, making her scream in defeat.

WINNER: RYUKO MATOI
Ochako still stands, but then she falls down, butt on the floor and knees against each other. She was panting from exhaustion, looking down on the floor. She then sees Ryuko's hand and looks up to see her giving her a friendly smile. Ochako gives her own friendly smile and takes her hand, the crowd cheering.
"It was excellent dueling from both of you. I have no doubt that had I the authority, I would've loved to see you both make it to the Quarterfinals." Satsuki smiled.
"T-Thanks! That means a lot from you!" Ochako bowed graciously.
"Yeah." Ryuko nodded.
"Now then… Would you two kindly step off the stage so we can proceed?" Satsuki asked, to which the two nod and return to their seats.
