Author's Note
Okay, after some much needed advice and pep talk, episode 3 coming at you! I know that some critics might… lash out after the last episode, but it's not like I can just simply rewrite them without going through too many hoops… I guess I'm just that lazy, huh…? *sigh* Anyway, hopefully this will work out much more easily.
Growing up, Izuku Midoriya was very much a fan of two shows: The Elemental Heroes and the Onomatopoeia Gang. Hearing that cards were created in the very images of the characters he loved as a child, it set his heart for Duel Monsters ablaze. Later on, a new series, The Masked Heroes, made him even more excited. He wished that these new heroes would be developed into Duel Monsters, and sure enough, his wish had come true. Even amongst the bullying he received for appreciating Elemental and Masked Heroes, he never gave up his dream of becoming the best Duelist in the world and the King of Games with the Elemental/Masked Hero deck he created. Surely, everyone would appreciate Elemental and Masked Heroes as well as the Onomatopoeia Gang that he would bring to light should he become number one!
We cut to Satsuki pulling out two more names from the boxes. "Freshman Juvia Lockser will face off against… Senior Rukia Kuchiki."
Juvia and Rukia come up on the stage. "Juvia will do her best in this. She swears!" Juvia exclaimed in third person.
"...You are a strange person, but I will not let that deter me from winning." Rukia said, pulling out her Duel Disk while Juvia did the same.
"DUEL!"
Juvia LP: 4000
Rukia LP: 1000
"Heads or tails, Juvia?" Satsuki asked.
"Juvia will choose… Heads." Juvia answered, Satsuki flipping the coin.
"It has come up as Tails again." Satsuki stated.
Cue: Clavar La Espada (Bleach)
"In that case, I go first. I'll activate the Spell card Unexpected Dai!" Rukia started, showing a green card with the image of a warrior appearing spontaneously. "This lets me Special Summon a level 4 or below Normal Monster from my deck since I control no monsters. I Special Summon Sunseed Genius Loci in Defense Position!" She exclaimed, summoning a flower holding a seed.
LV: 1
DEF: 600
"Next, I Normal Summon Rikka Petal." Rukia stated, summoning an infant standing on a petal.
LV: 1
ATK: 0
"Then, I'll use her effect. This allows me to either add a Rikka monster from my deck to my hand or send it to the graveyard, except Rikka Petal. I'll add Snowdrop, the Rikka Fairy. Now, open! Circuit that leads to my nobility! Summoning condition is 1 level 4 or lower Plant monster! Arrowhead confirmed! I offer Loci!" Rukia continued, sending Loci into the bottom arrow. "Come forth! Link 1: Sunavalon Dryas!" She called, summoning a small tree.
LINK: 1
ATK: 0
"When this card is Link Summoned to the Extra Monster Zone using Loci, I can add one Sunvine Spell or Trap card from my deck to my hand. I'll add, then activate, the Continuous Spell card Sunvine Shrine." Rukia said, doing so, summoning a shrine covered in vines. "I'll do this by discarding a card from my hand. Next, I'll use its effect. Once per turn, I can Special Summon a level 4 or lower Normal Plant monster from my graveyard. Come on back, Sunseed Genius Loci!"
LV: 1
ATK: 0
"Open again! Circuit that leads to my nobility! Summoning condition: 1 Normal Plant monster! I will offer Loci again!" She kept going, sending Loci to the top arrow this time. "Come forth! Link 1: Sunvine Healer!" She exclaimed, summoning a green-skinned plant-like woman.
LINK: 1
ATK: 600
"Now I'll use her effect. When Special Summoned, I gain 300 Life Points multiplied by a Sunavalon Link Monster's Link Rating. Dryas is a Link 1 monster. Therefore…"
Rukia LP: 1000 + 300 = 1300
"Now I'll send Dryas and Healer to the graveyard! Open for the third time: Circuit that leads to my nobility! Summoning condition is 2 Plant-type monsters! Head in there, Dryas and Healer!" Rukia ordered, sending the two monsters into the bottom left and bottom right arrows. "Come forth, Link 2: Aromaseraphy Jasmine!" She shouted, summoning a girl with plant-made fairy wings.
LINK: 2
ATK: 1800
"I now Link Summon another Sunavalon Dryas using Rikka Petal!"
LINK: 1
ATK: 0
"I then activate the effect of Rikka Princess from my hand. During my Main Phase, I can Special Summon her from my hand! But, while she is face up, I cannot Special Summon monsters except Plant-Type monsters." Rukia said, summoning a princess of snow.
DEF: 0
"Now, by tributing Dryas, I can Special Summon Mudan, the Rikka Fairy from my hand in Defense Position!" Rukia kept on going, summoning a young lady with a parasol.
DEF: 2400
"Now, I'll use her effect! If she is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned by the effect of a Plant-type monster, including her own, I can add 1 Rikka Spell or Trap from my deck to my hand. I will add, then activate, the Field Spell Rikka Konkon!" Rukia declared, summoning a forest of trees and cold winds. "I will now use its effect. Once per turn, while I control a Rikka monster, I can set 1 Rikka Spell or Trap from my deck! I'll set, then activate, Rikka Glamour! I get to add a Plant-type monster! And by tributing one from my field, I can add another one! I tribute Sunvine Healer! I will then add Primula, the Rikka Fairy and Rikka Princess from my deck to my hand. Next, since a Plant-type monster was tributed to activate Glamour, I can Special Summon the Primula I just added to my hand in Defense Position!" She continued, summoning a girl in a dress of white and purple.
DEF: 1800
"I then Special Summon another Rikka Princess!"
ATK: 0
"I now Overlay level 4 Rikka Princess and Primula!" Rukia exclaimed, the two girls turning into blue energy before flying into the air and sending themselves into a red vortex. "With these two monsters, I will now build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank 4: Rikka Queen Strenna!" She shouted, summoning a girl with pink hair in a yellow dress.
Rank: 4
ATK: 2000
"Now, with its effect, by detaching one of its Overlay Units, I can add a Plant monster or Rikka card from my graveyard to my hand. I will add Rikka Princess. Next, I tribute my Strenna to Special Summon not only Rikka Princess, but also Snowdrop, the Rikka Fairy, both in Defense Position!" Rukia declared.
DEFs: 0 and 2600 respectively.
"And now for Strenna's effect! When tributed while it still has Xyz Material, I can Special Summon a Rank 5 or higher Xyz Plant-type monster using her as Xyz Material! I'll Special Summon Strenna first!"
ATK: 2000
"With Strenna alone, I will now build the Overlay Network!" Rukia proclaimed, sending Strenna into a red vortex. "Appear in the snow! Bring hope in our endless rolling days! Become a rolling star from the sky! Xyz Summon! Dance! Rank 8: Teardrop, the Rikka Queen!"
Rank: 8
DEF: 2800
Rukia breathes in then out. "I end my turn by placing one card face down."
'That was a pretty long turn… Could it have been worth the amount of cards Rukia Senpai used…?' Izuku thought. 'And will Juvia be able to beat her powerful cards?'
End Song and Cue: Escalation (Bleach)
"Juvia's turn. She draws! First, she summons Tour Guide of the Underworld!" Juvia started, summoning a lady with red hair and tour guide-like clothes.
LV: 3
ATK: 1000
"When Normal Summoned, Juvia can Special Summon a Level 3 Fiend monster from her hand or deck. She will Special Summon Djinn, Prognosticator of Rituals!" She declared, summoning a purple skinned, chubby fiend.
LV: 3
ATK: 400
"Now, Juvia will Overlay Djinn and Tour Guide!" She continued, turning the two into purple energies that spiral into another red vortex. "With these two monsters, Juvia builds the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 3: Number 17: Leviathan Dragon!" She shouted, summoning a large, long bodied dragon, which has the number 17 on one of its horns.
Rank: 3
ATK: 2000
"Now, by detaching one of its Overlay Units, Leviathan Dragon gains 500 Attack Points!"
ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500
"Next, Juvia will discard Gishki Vision to add one Gishki Ritual monster from her deck to her hand. Juvia will add Evigishki Gustkraken to her hand. And now, Juvia will activate the Ritual Spell Gishki Aquamirror!" Juvia declared,
'A Ritual Spell card! So she uses Ritual monsters…!' Izuku marveled.
"This allows Juvia to tribute monsters from her field or hand and Ritual Summon a Gishki Ritual monster whose level is equal to the total level of the tributed monsters! However, Juvia can also banish Prognosticator from her graveyard so she can treat that monster as a tribute! Juvia will also tribute Djinn, Releaser of Rituals from her hand! Juvia Ritual Summons Evigishki Gustkraken!" She shouted, summoning an octopus version of a centaur.
LV: 3+ 3 = 6
ATK: 2400
"Gustkraken's effect activates. Show Juvia two random cards, Rukia Senpai." Juvia asked of her.
"I would if I had any left." Rukia huffed.
"Then, uh, don't do a thing." Juvia said. "Now, Juvia will discard Gishki Shadow to add another Gishki Aquamirror to her hand from her deck. She will then attack your Jasmine with Leviathan Dragon! Revise Stream!" She shouted as Leviathan Dragon shoots out a stream of energy that destroys Jasmine.
ATK difference: 2500 - 1800 = 700
Rukia LP: 1300 - 700 = 600
"Juvia will then attack your Princess with Gustkraken!" She declared, doing so and destroying Rikka Princess. "Juvia will now set one card face down and end her turn."
"All that for two monsters that aren't enough against Teardrop…? That's quite the waste." Rukia shrugged. "During the End Phase, I can Special Summon Rikka Petal from my graveyard!"
DEF: 0
"My turn, I draw! I'll activate my Teardrop's effect! By detaching one Overlay Unit, I can target one monster on the field and tribute it! I will choose your Leviathan Dragon!" Rukia declared, making the Leviathan Dragon disappear. "I will now switch two of my three monsters to Attack Position."
Snowdrop ATK: 1200
Teardrop ATK: 2800
"Battle! I will have-"
"Hold it! Juvia activates the trap Grisaille Prison!" Juvia exclaimed, revealing a trap card that shows a portrait of two people trapped inside said portrait. "While Juvia controls a monster that has been Tribute, Ritual, or Fusion Summoned, neither player can Synchro or Xyz Summon and Synchro and Xyz monsters cannot attack or activate their effects until the end of your next turn!"
"Oh no! Then that means…!" Rukia gasped.
"This ends in Juvia's favor! No need to draw, because this duel ends now! Juvia attacks Snowdrop with Evigishki Gustkraken!" Juvia ordered, Gustkraken jumping to the air and smashing his body against Snowdrop, destroying her.
ATK difference: 2400 - 1200 = 1200
Rukia LP: 600 → 0
WINNER: JUVIA LOCKSER
End Song.
"Ah… Well done. I certainly didn't expect that. Welcome aboard, Juvia." Rukia smiled. "Your Gishki deck and especially your Grisaille Prison will serve you well."
"That means a lot to Juvia for you to say that, Rukia Senpai." Juvia bowed as she returned to her seat while Rukia returned to her spot.
'I'll have to keep my guard up for cards that are against Fusion monsters like my Elemental and Masked Heroes…' Izuku took notes as Satsuki pulled out two more names.
"The next Duelists are… Freshman Ichigo Kurosaki against Senior Clive Rosfield." Satsuki called as Ichigo and Clive take their spots.
"It is good to meet you. I have a feeling that you will be my fiercest opponent yet." Clive said.
"You know, I've got the same thing about you, Clive Senpai." Ichigo replied.
"Please, just call me Clive. And you speak as if you think you're already about to be here." Clive pointed out.
"I am." Ichigo smirked.
"Confident… Very well." Clive chuckled before pulling out his deck and duel disk, Ichigo doing the same.
"DUEL!"
Ichigo LP: 4000
Clive LP: 1000
"Heads or tails, Ichigo?" Satsuki asked.
"I'll choose… Heads." Ichigo answered. Satsuki flips the coin.
"Tails. You go first, Clive." Satsuki declared.
Cue: Special Training (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds)
"Then it's my turn. I will start this duel by activating the Field Spell Palace of the Elemental Lords!" Clive began, summoning a palace of some sort. "You will see what this is truly capable of soon enough. For now, I'll activate its other effect. Once per turn, I can add one Elementsaber monster from my deck to my hand, but I must skip my next turn's Battle Phase once I do. I will add Elementsaber Lapauila Mana! Next, I will activate his effect from my hand! By sending two monsters from my hand to the graveyard, I can Special Summon him! But first, I will use my Palace of the Elemental Lords' third effect! When an Elementsaber monster from my hand or field activates an effect, I can send Elementsaber monsters from my deck to the graveyard instead of discarding from my hand. I will send Elementsaber Nalu and Elementsaber Makani from my deck to the graveyard. Now, I will Special Summon him! Come forth, Elementsaber Lapauila Mana!" He called, summoning a powerful man with powers over lightning.
ATK: 2400
"And now that he is here, my Palace of the Elemental Lords allows him and every monster I control to gain 200 Attack Points for each monster with a different Attribute in my graveyard. The monsters I have are of WATER and WIND. That is two different Attributes. Therefore, Lapauila Mana gains 400 Attack Points!"
ATK: 2400 + 400 = 2800
"When Lapauila Mana uses WATER or FIRE and EARTH or WIND monsters for his effect, Mana cannot be destroyed in battle or by card effects. Now, I will Normal Summon Elementsaber Molehu." Clive continued, summoning a man with a sword and armor of darkness.
LV: 4
ATK: 1900 + 400 = 2300
"I will now place one card face down and end my turn." Clive finished, as he placed a card face down.
"My turn, then. I draw! From my hand, I'm activating the Spell Pre Preparation of Rites! This allows me to add a Ritual Spell card from my deck to my hand and 1 Ritual Monster mentioned on that card from my deck or graveyard to my hand. I'll add, from my deck to my hand, Revendread Origin and Revendread Slayer." Ichigo began. The Spell he activated had the image of a weird bird being shown to humans.
'Another Ritual deck user!' Izuku marveled, taking notes.
"Next, I'll summon Vendread Houndhorde in Attack Position!" Ichigo exclaimed, summoning a horde of zombie-like hounds.
LV: 3
ATK: 0
"Now, I'll activate the Ritual Spell Revendread Origin!" Ichigo growled, showing someone being overcome by a virus, a pendant showing a man and woman together. "By sending materials from my hand or field to the graveyard, I can Ritual Summon a Revendread Ritual Monster from my hand so long as the monster or monsters I send to the graveyard equal or exceed that Ritual Monster's level. I send Alghoul Mazera from my hand to the grave to Ritual Summon the Ritual Monster I just added: Revendread Slayer!" He continued, summoning a zombie-like superhero with glowing red eyes and a yellow scarf.
LV: 6
LV of the monster sent: 8
ATK: 2400
"Now, appear! Circuit that leads to power! Summoning conditions are two Zombie-type monsters! I send Revendread Slayer and Vendread Houndhorde into the Link Markers!" Ichigo declared, sending Slayer and Houndhorde into the bottom left and bottom right arrows. "Link Summon! Come on out! Link 2: Avendread Savior!" He shouted, summoning another zombie-like superhero with a sword in his hand and a wing on his back.
LINK: 2
ATK: 1600
"Next, if Slayer was Ritual Summoned and then sent from the field to the graveyard, I can add one Ritual Spell card from my deck to my hand. And if I do, I must send a Vendread monster from my deck to the graveyard. I add Ravenous Vendread and send Scar of the Vendread from my deck to the graveyard. Next, Scar's effect. When sent to the graveyard, I can add a Vendread Spell or Trap from my deck to my hand. I'll add Vendread Nights. Then I will activate the Spell Card Preparation of Rites." Ichigo kept going, showing an ancient temple of some kind. "This allows me to add a level 7 or below Ritual Monster from my deck to my hand. I'll add the Level 7 Vendread Battlelord. Oh, and Preparation of Rites also allows me to add a Ritual Spell from my graveyard to my hand, so guess which one's back: That's right. Revendread Origin. Now, I activate Houndhorde's effect from my graveyard. By discarding 1 Vendread card, I can bring it back. But the next time it leaves the field, it's banished. I discard my second Revendread Origin then summon Houndhorde in defense mode."
DEF: 2100
End Song and Cue: Number One (Bleach)
"Now, I'll use Avendread Savior's effect. Once per turn, I can add one Vendread card from my graveyard to my hand! I choose, of course, Revendread Origin once again."
"No. I am putting a stop to that. I activate the effect of Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit from my hand. When a monster effect, or a spell or trap that is already face up on the field activates its effect, I can discard this card and negate that effect. And if I do, I destroy that card! Say goodbye to your Savior!" Clive denies as he discards Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit. "And since the monster Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit is of LIGHT Attribute, and therefore another different Attribute altogether, my monsters gain another 200 Attack Points due to the Palace of the Elemental Lords!"
ATKs of Lapauila Mana and Molehu: 2800 +200 = 3000 and 2300 + 200 = 2500 respectively.
"Heh. You dumbass. I'll activate the effect of Alghoul Mazera from my graveyard! When a monster I control would be destroyed in battle or by a card effect, I can banish Mazera instead! Then, when Mazera is banished from my hand or graveyard, I can Special Summon him in Defense Position!" Ichigo counters as he summons a zombie-like warrior that was once a powerful man.
DEF: 2300
"I will now activate the Ritual Spell Ravenous Vendread! This allows me to Special Summon a Vendread monster from my hand, deck, or graveyard in face down Defense Position then Ritual Summon a Vendread Ritual monster using that monster and any others I control, whose total levels are equal to that or exceed that of the monster I'm about to summon, from my hand or graveyard! I'll set Vendread Revenants from my deck! Now, I'll send it and my Houndhorde to Ritual Summon Vendread Battlelord!" Ichigo declared, summoning a large zombie with a large weapon in hand.
LV: 3 + 4 = 7
ATK: 2700
"Now I'll activate the effect of my Scar. Once per turn, by banishing another Zombie from my graveyard, I can Special Summon it. However, while it's on the field, I cannot Special Summon monsters except Vendread monsters." Ichigo stated, summoning a hooded zombie with red and blue glowing eyes.
ATK: 2300
"Now, I'll use the effect of my Houndhorde. See, when Battlelord uses both Houndhorde and Revenants as materials for its Ritual Summon, I can destroy one Spell or Trap and one Monster. But since your Lapauila Mana and Molehu are protected by Mana's effect, my Revenant's effect will have to wait. For now, I'll destroy that set card!" Ichigo declares as he destroys Clive's set card. "Now, I'll activate the Field Spell Vendread Nights!" He exclaimed, summoning a barricade with wires at the top around Ichigo and Clive, zombies surrounding the barricade. "I will then use its effect. By discarding a card, I can add one Vendread monster from my deck to my hand. I'll discard Revendread Origin to add Vendread Scavenger from my deck. Then, I'll activate a third Revendread Origin! This time, I will tribute my Mazera!" He continued, Mazera suddenly catching some kind of virus. He roars as he starts growing in size and becomes more horrifying. "Watch the stars illuminate with their rays of light above us! Shine your brightest, just like the stars above us! Ritual Summon! Appear now! Level 8: Vendread Scavenger!" He roared, summoning a large zombie monster with tentacles in its left arm.
LV: 8
LV of monster tributed: 8
ATK: 2800
"And now, I'll use Scavenger's effect. By tributing another Zombie monster, I can have my Scavenger gain its Attack Points! Any of my zombies can do, really. So I'll go ahead and tribute my weakest: Avendread Savior." Ichigo stated, making Savior disappear, which makes Scavenger more powerful.
ATK: 2800 + 1600 = 4400
"4400 Attack Points!?" Clive gasped.
"Hey, I could've gone even further than that if I wanted to. But this is enough. All I have to do is lower your Life Points to 0, right? Then this result is fine. Vendread Scavenger attacks Lapauila Mana!" Ichigo commands as Scavenger charges forward with its right arm grabbing Mana and slamming him into the ground, creating a shockwave that knocks Clive off his feet and into the ground as he yells in defeat.
ATK Difference: 4400 - 3000 = 1400
Clive LP: 1000 → 0
WINNER: ICHIGO KUROSAKI
End Song
"Well done, Ichigo. And welcome to the academy." Satsuki welcomed him.
"Thanks." Ichigo nodded.
"I truly thought I had you there with my Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit. But then you surprised me with that Mazera card." Clive complimented.
"Uh, thanks." Ichigo replied. "I'll keep that in mind next time someone tries to destroy my monsters." He said as he went back to his seat and Clive went back to his spot.
"And now for the opponent of Gray Fullbuster." Satsuki declared as she went to the Freshman box. "The final Freshman duelist will be… Naruto Uzumaki." She pulled. Naruto and Gray go to the center.
"All right! Time to start me off with a bang!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
"Or go out in flames. But keep in mind that I can put you out at any time." Gray boasted.
"Oh yeah!? Why don't you prove it!" Naruto provoked as both he and Gray prepared to duel.
"DUEL!"
Naruto LP: 4000
Gray LP: 1000
"Okay, my turn to choose! I choose… Tails!" Naruto chose. Satsuki wordlessly flips the coin and it comes up…
"Tails."
Cue: Shippuden (Naruto Shippuden)
"Yeah! I called it right! Okay! I'll start off this duel by summoning Gusto Vedir!" Naruto started, summoning a small green bird.
LV: 3
ATK: 600
"When Vedir is Normal or Special Summoned, I can send one Gusto monster from my deck to the graveyard and then Special Summon a Gusto monster from my hand! I send Gulldo from my deck to the graveyard to Special Summon Pilica, Descendant of Gusto from my hand!" Naruto exclaimed, summoning a young girl of the wind.
ATK: 1000
"When Normal or Special Summoned, Pilica Special Summons one WIND attribute tuner monster from my graveyard in Defense Position with its effects negated! Come on out! Gusto Gulldo!" Naruto called for, summoning another green bird.
DEF: 500
"Now, I tune Level 3 Vedir with Level 3 Pilica!" Naruto proclaimed, sending Vedir and Pilica into the air. After the usual Synchro bit, a pillar of green light appears. "Synchro Summon! Blow them away! Level 6: Daigusto Sphreez!" He shouted, summoning a young lady wielding a spear.
LV: 3 + 3 = 6
ATK: 2000
"Next, her effect! When Synchro Summoned, I can target one Gusto monster in my graveyard and add it to my hand! I'll add Pilica back to my hand! Now, I'll activate the Equip Spell Tailwind of Gusto!" Naruto continued, showing a Spell Card with the image of wind surrounding a young girl before the same thing happens to Sphreez. "The equipped monster is protected from destruction via card effects. I will now use its second effect. It depends on the level of the monster it's equipped to. If it's 4 or lower, I can Special Summon a Gusto monster from my deck with a different type compared to the equipped monster. But if it's 5 or higher, I can Special Summon a level 1 Tuner monster from my deck instead! I Special Summon Gusto Egul!" He exclaimed, summoning a third green bird.
LV: 1
ATK: 200
"You done?" Gray asked impatiently.
"Yeah I am. Sorry to keep you waiting~" Naruto apologized.
"You sure did." Gray huffed.
'Hold on a second… Why did Naruto summon Egul in Attack Position? Shouldn't he have it in Defense while keeping Sphreez in Attack Position? Hmm… There's something odd going on here…' Izuku thought as he took notes.
"My turn. I draw! I summon Revealer of the Ice Barrier!" Gray started, summoning a young lady with powers over ice.
LV: 4
ATK: 1700
"I'm using the effect of Maxx "C" from my hand. Every time you Special Summon a monster, I get to draw a card from my deck. All I have to do is discard it." Naruto huffed as he did so.
"Tch. I activate the effect of my Revealer. By discarding a card, I can Special Summon an Ice Barrier Tuner monster from my deck. I discard my second Revealer to Special Summon Defender of the Ice Barrier." Gray stated, summoning a lizard with powers over ice.
DEF: 1600
"I draw for that." Naruto said as he did so.
End Song and Cue: Gray Fullbuster Theme (Fairy Tail)
"Next, I activate the effect of Silent Angler from my hand. Since I control a face-up WATER monster, I can Special Summon him. But, for the rest of the turn, I cannot Special Summon monsters from my hand." Gray told Naruto as he summoned an anglerfish perfect for stealth.
ATK: 800
"Draw."
"I now tune level 3 Defender with my level 4 Revealer and Silent Angler!" Gray growled, sending Defender first before Revealer and Silent Angler followed it. "My dream in this world will never end! I will chase it, running faster, chasing what's in front of me! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level 11: TRISHULA, ZERO DRAGON OF THE ICE BARRIER!" He roared loudly, summoning a large three-headed dragon of ice.
LV: 3 + 4 + 4 = 11
ATK: 2700
"Draw and… oh crap." Naruto dreaded.
"You said your Tailwind of Gusto protects your monster from destruction, you didn't say anything about it being banished. I'll activate Trishula's effect! When Synchro Summoned, I can banish up to three cards you control! I banish all three of your monsters!" Gray declared, sending all three of Naruto's monsters to the Shadow Realm while his Equip Spell is sent to his graveyard. "Trishula, attack Naruto directly! ABSOLUTE ZERO STREAM OF DESTRUCTION!" Gray shouted, Trishula sending out three beams of energy colder than absolute zero, right at Naruto who could only brace for impact before yelling in pain and struggle.
Naruto LP: 4000 - 2700 = 1300
"I set two cards face down and end my turn." Gray finished as he did so.
"Okay, this isn't good… Come on, heart of the cards…! Draw!" Naruto exclaimed as he drew the card… and added it to his hand without looking at it.
"...Aren't you going to look?" Gray asked.
"Nope, not yet!" Naruto denied. "First, I activate the effect of Tailwind of Gusto from my graveyard! By banishing it and discarding a Gusto monster from my hand, I can add a Gusto Spell or Trap from my deck to my hand! I discard Gusto Griffin then add Contact with Gusto. I then activate Griffin's effect! When sent from my hand to the graveyard, I can Special Summon a Gusto monster from my deck!"
"Sorry, but this is the end. I'm activating this. The Trap card Gravedigger's Trap Hole!" Gray revealed, revealing a trap card that features a monster digging a grave and making a hole. "When you activate a monster's effect from your hand or graveyard, or when your banished monster's effect is activated, I can negate that effect and if I do, you take 2000 points of damage. And that's more than you can spare, isn't it?"
"I'm not letting that through! I'm not giving up! I activate the effect of Hanewata from my hand!" Naruto declared.
"What!?" Gray gasped.
Cue: Douten (Heaven-Shaking Event) (Naruto Shippuden)
"You can negate one of my monsters' effects, but another? That's a whole different story! You can negate my Griffin's effect, but so long as I have something that'll keep me in the game, I'm using it! By discarding Hanewata, I negate all effect damage I would've taken!" Naruto replied, a fluffy fairy protecting him from the purple beam that headed his way from Gravedigger's Trap Hole. "Now where was I…? Oh yeah! I summon Pilica once again!"
LV: 3
ATK: 1000
"Then I'll use her effect to Special Summon Vedir again!"
"I don't think so. I activate the Continuous Trap Crackdown!" Gray denied, revealing a trap that shows a man being pulled from the ceiling. "This lets me take control of a monster you control and negate its effects and ability to attack!" He exclaimed as Pilica was pulled to Gray's side from the rope that came out of Crackdown. The rope now binds Pilica. Meanwhile, Vedir is still summoned to Naruto's field.
DEF: 1000
'Crap…! I don't have anything that can stop that! …Well… no other choice… I have to see what the deck gave me…' Naruto thought as he looked at the card he drew. "...Okay. Here goes! I'll activate the effect of Speedroid Car Turbo from my hand! Since I control a WIND monster, I can Special Summon it!" He exclaimed as he summoned some kind of modification part for a car.
ATK: 800
"Open! Circuit that leads to my dream! Summoning condition is 2 WIND monsters! Get in there, Vedir and Car Turbo!" Naruto ordered as both monsters go into the bottom left and bottom right arrows. "Link Summon! Rocket past fast! Link 2: Hi-Speedroid Rubber Band Shooter!" He yelled, summoning a blue rocket.
LINK: 2
ATK: 1000
"Now for its effect. Once per turn, I can banish a WIND attribute Synchro monster from my Extra Deck then reveal 2 Speedroid monsters with different names from my deck! Those monsters must have levels equal to that of the monster I banished and you have to choose one at random. The one you choose gets added to my hand while the other gets sent to the graveyard. I banish Daigusto Laplampilica, a level 6 WIND attribute Synchro monster." Naruto stated, searching his deck for two monsters. "Choose between Speedroids Car Turbo number 2 and Taketomborg."
"...That one." Gray chose, pointing at Taketomborg randomly.
"Taketomborg. The second Car Turbo goes to the grave. Next, I'll Special Summon the Taketomborg I just added since I control a WIND monster, which Rubber Band Shooter just so happens to be!" Naruto continued, summoning a bug-like robot.

"Now, I'll activate the Spell Card Quill Pen of Gulldos!" Naruto kept going, revealing a Spell Card with the image of a green quill pen. "This lets me target 2 WIND monsters in my graveyard and 1 card on the field! I return the cards I select in my graveyard into my deck and return the card on the field I select to the hand! I select my two Car Turbos and return Trishula to your hand, or in this case, your Extra Deck!" He declared.
"No! Damn you!" Gray exclaimed as Trishula disappeared.
"Finally, I activate the Spell Card Contact with Gusto!" Naruto proclaimed, revealing a Spell Card that has the image of a young lady generating the energy of wind. "By returning two Gusto monsters from my graveyard to my deck, I can destroy one card on the field! I return Griffin and Vedir! I will then destroy Crackdown!"
"You can't!" Gray gasped.
"Sorry, but I can and I DID!" Naruto boasted as Crackdown was destroyed, the ropes disappearing and no longer binding Pilica to his side. "Welcome back, Pilica. Care to pay him back for that Crackdown?" He asked Pilica who gave a determined nod. "Okay! Go for it! Attack Gray directly!" He ordered, Pilica charging at Gray and smacking him in the face with her staff.

"Whew… That was rough…" Naruto sighed in relief.
"Ow… Damn, that hurt…" Gray groaned, rubbing his cheek as Naruto approached him. Naruto offers a hand up, making Gray smirk and take his hand.
"Phenomenal work, Naruto. You and every Freshman enrolling in this school are welcome here. The potential, I see, is limitless with every Freshman that is now in this school for the next four years. All of you, develop this potential and grasp it tightly! And eventually, you will show the world you have what it takes to be the next King or Queen of Games!" Satsuki proclaimed, making everyone in the academy cheer. "Form up to eight single file lines and receive your student ID and dorm room." She asked of the students.
Izuku makes it to his dorm room. "Wow, what a bunch of interesting decks! I can't wait to duel against them sometime~! Now, I wonder who's in here…" He hummed as he opened the door and saw a man with pale blonde hair and red eyes looking at him.
"Wait…" They both huffed.
"KATCHI!?"
"DEKIRU!?"
