As the qualifying tournament to win 10000DP is underway, the first duel has begun and ended with Yukina winning. Now that she has, other duels are going on and more winners are being made.
"Let's continue on with the tournament!" M.C. announced. "It's on to the next duel as we have Gladiator Felix going against the wild wind named Cray!" Both of them came out and were ready to face each other.
"I hope you're ready, Cray. I'm taking you down." Felix claimed.
"As if. I'm not going to lose to anyone until I defeat Yukina. You're just in the way." Cray said as they both got themselves ready for their duel.

Yukina's Group
"Hurry! Our duels are going to start soon!" Cindy said as she, Kent, Felix, and Yukina hurried through the halls for the duels that Sylvia, Felix, and Kent are going to be in are set to start soon.
"You guys do your best out there." Yukina said.
"Yeah! Just you wait because I'm the one that is going to..." Kent was about to boast until he accidently ran into someone and knocked him to the ground. "Oh! Sorry about that!"
"Yeah. You should really watch where you're going." Kent felt bad, but then they all noticed that it was Henry he ran into. "Hey! You guys again!"
"Henry..." Felix said as they all kept their guard up with him since he is a member of the Black Ace.
"It's good to see you guys again. It seems like you're all doing well." Henry said. "Although, we have been keeping our eyes on you guys. I already saw your duel, Yukina. It might be fun to go against you guys again. Wouldn't you say so, Sabaro?"
"Sabaro?" Yukina said. She looked behind Henry and saw Sabaro. "Hey, Sabaro. I'm glad to see you're here, but what are you doing with Henry."
"You know him, Yukina? He's a member of the Black Ace too." Cindy claimed with Yukina surprised to hear about that.
"Are you serious?! Why would someone like you join the Black Ace?!" Yukina said.
"I don't really need to explain myself." Sabaro claimed, but Yukina couldn't believe it. She thought he was a decent guy, knowing he's a part of the Black Ace had her change her mind about him completely. "We better get going, Henry. Our matches are going to start soon. It looks like you and I will be going against one of them."
"Really? That's going to be fun." Henry said as the two of them started walking away.
"I don't believe this. I knew there was something off about Sabaro, but I didn't think someone like him would be in the Black Ace." Yukina said.
"Well, we'll have to keep our eyes on them." Sylvia said. "Knowing that members of the Black Ace are here, we need to keep our guards up." They all agreed to that. Now that they know those two are here, this tournament might not go as well as they think.
...
The Duels
"We've got a lot of duels to get through. So, while Sylvia's and Cray's duel is going on, we've got other duels going on. Here comes Kent and Sabaro." M.C. announced as the two of them came out.
"You're going down! If you're with the Black Ace, I'm taking you down!" Kent called.
"You'll have to do more than just talk." Sabaro said.
"We also got Sylvia going up against Henry." M.C. claimed as the two of them came out this time.
"I'm wise to your tricks this time, Henry." Sylvia said.
"Maybe, but that doesn't mean you can beat me." Henry claimed.
"And finally, we have a special one here. First, we have the seasonal Cindy in this duel." He announced as Cindy came out for her duel. "Next, we have a special one with this duel. Here's her opponent." Cindy was expecting just one person, but she was in for a surprise as two came out. One with blonde hair, black leather pants, and a yellow vest. The other was a brunette with the same pants, but a brown vest. "She will be facing the twins. Blondie is Bruce and the other is Butch."
"Hold on! I've seen those two before!" Yukina said as she was watching with Hana. She recognized them as the twins that tried to stop her and Cray before. "They're with the Black Ace!"
"Two against one?! That isn't fair!" Cindy said.
"No worries. You'll be facing both of us, but not the way you think." Bruce said.
"Thanks to Diego, we have a brand new deck that really emphasizes twin power." Butch said.
"And we have mastered it. Let's show her, Butch." Bruce said. The two of them seem to be dueling together, but in a different manner. Butch was the one who activated his duel disk with him holding the cards. Cindy didn't get what they were up to, but she can't back down to the Black Ace.
"Let's duel!" The duels were about to begin with all sides having 4000LP.
"Allow us to show how we use our twin power." Butch said as he was starting this duel. "I'll start by summoning Gemini Elf to the field!" He summoned a pair of ladies as they emerged with 1900atk points. "Now to use this..."
"Wait." Butch said as he stopped his brother from playing a card. "Go with the other spell card in your hand. Save that one for when we really need it."
"Fine." Butch said as he reached for a different card. "I'll activate Twin Shadow! As long as this spell card remains on the field, any monster that has "Twin" or "Gemini" in it's name can avoid being destroyed once per turn. Of course, I don't see how you can destroy a strong monster like this one."
"We'll end our turn there." Bruce said.
"So that's what they meant. They duel like they are one." Hana said. "Butch seems to be the one that plays the calls, but Bruce seems to be the tactical one. I've never seen a two on one duel like this before."
"Come on, Cindy. You can't lose to these guys." Yukina said.
"My turn!" Cindy said as she drew her card. "I'll start by summoning my Seasonal Fall Pumpkin to the field!" She said as she summoned out her pumpkin with it having 1200atk points. "Next, I'm activating Season Cycle! This spell card allows me to summon another Seasonal monster just as long as it's a different season than what I have on the field. I summon Seasonal Summer Butterfly!" She summoned out her butterfly as it flew out with 1300atk points. "I now activate my pumpkin's ability! Your Gemini Elf loses 200atk points for each Seasonal monster I have on the field!" Her pumpkin unleashed some flames and blasted Gemini Elf with their attack points dropping to 1500. "Now, I overlay my two level three Seasonal Butterfly and Seasonal Pumpkin!" She called as an X appeared on the field and both her monsters dived in. Once they were, a pillar of light shot into the sky. "I xyz summon Seasonal Spring Enchantress!" Cindy's best monster appeared on the field with 2000atk points.
"An xyz monster?!" Butch said.
"Calm down. It's her only one and we still have the advantage." Bruce claimed.
"I activate her special ability! I use one overlay unit to give her 500atk points!" Cindy called as one of her overlay units entered her monster's staff and empowered her to 2500atk points. "Now, attack with Spring's Magic!" Her enchantress unleashed some of her magic power and blasted Gemini Elf.
"Don't forget that thanks to Twin Shadow, Gemini Elf can't be destroyed from just one attack!" Bruce claimed. Their monster survived the attack, but their life points still dropped down to 3000.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn!" Cindy said.
"Cindy is doing pretty well." Hana said.
"Yeah, but those twins seems like a dangerous pair. It's a little early to call it." Yukina claimed.
"It's our turn!" Butch said as he drew the next card. Both of the twins were looking over his hand.
"It looks like we have all that we need to end this now." Butch said.
"Wait, Butch. Don't be so hasty." Bruce said. "If we make even a slight mistake, we could end up costing us the duel."
"I've got this, plus we could end the duel right now. I'm going for it!" Butch said, but Bruce didn't like this. "I'll start by summoning Twin-Headed Behemoth to the field!" He summoned out a purple dragon-like creature with two heads and had 1500atk points. "Next, I'm activating Riyoku! This spell will drain half of the attack points of your monster and gives it to my behemoth!" He said as power was being transferred from Cindy's enchantress to his behemoth with their powers now being 1250 and 2750. "I'm also going to equip my behemoth with Twin Striker! This spell will cause you to take damage equal to your monster's original attack points once it's destroyed. When you add all that up, it's over!"
"Wait, Butch! Don't be so impatient!" Bruce said, but Butch wasn't listening.
"Twin-Headed Behemoth, attack!" Butch ordered as his monster charged straight at her monster.
"I activate Nature's Comeback!" Cindy said as she played her trap. "With this trap, my monster survives and we both take damage!" The two monsters clashed against each other and they both took some damage as their life points dropped to 1500 and 2500.
"What?! Her monster survived?!" Butch said.
"I told you to wait. That means you waisted Twin Striker" Bruce said with Butch frustrated.
"So what? She can still take damage and she'll still lose her best monster! Gemini Elf, attack!" Butch ordered. Gemini Elf jumped at Cindy's monster and both elves gave a powerful kick that destroyed Cindy's enchantress with her life points dropping down to 2250. She might have more life points, but Cindy is in a bind now.
"Cindy..." Kent said as he was worried about her.
"You should focus on your own match!" Sabaro claimed. "Master Diamond, attack!" Sabaro's monster attack and finished off Kent as his life points dropped to zero.
"Oh! It looks like Sabaro has won against Kent!" M.C. announced. "That's one duel done, but what about... Wait, what?!" He turned his attention to Sylvia and Henry's duel to see that Sylvia already lost. "I looked away for a moment and saw that Henry defeated Sylvia!"
"That was a little boring." Henry said as he sounded disappointed.
"That's two duels done and two remain." M.C. announced. "Oh! It looks like the duel between Felix and Cray is about to end as well." It was a close duel between Felix and Cray, but it looks like it's about to end on Cray's turn.
"You put up a good fight, Felix, but it just wasn't good enough. Storm Dragon, attack!" Cray ordered. His mighty dragon unleashed it's devastating power of the wind and destroyed Felix's monster with his life points dropping to zero.
"We have three duels done! That just leaves one duel left, but is it over already?" M.C. announced. Cindy was in a real bind and it's not looking good for at all. It's causing her to doubt herself.
'What am I going to do? The others were just defeated by Sabaro and Henry. How can I beat them...or am I just not able to?' Cindy thought as it seemed hopeless.
"Don't give in, Cindy!" Yukina called to give her encouragement. "You can still win this!"
"She's right! Just don't give up!" Hana called.
"You can do it, Cindy! We all know you can!" Kent called.
'They're right. It's not over as long as I can still fight. I just need to pull out something that can get me out of this.' Cindy thought.
"Why bother? Our monsters can't be destroyed from one attack." Butch said.
"Butch, you thought this duel would end right here and now, but you didn't take into account her trap." Bruce said. "That's always been your problem. You've always been to impatient and just want to act."
"Me?! You're blaming me for this? At least I'm doing the dueling!" Butch said.
"And you would be doing better if you would just do as I say." Bruce said.
"You just have to take the chance when it comes to dueling! Just wait and see when my next turn comes! I'll finish it then!" Butch said as he ended his turn and his behemoth's attack points return to normal.
"It's my turn!" Cindy said as she drew her next card. "I'll start by summoning Seasonal Spring Flower!" Cindy summoned out her flower as it came out on the field with 800atk points. "Thanks to it's special ability, I can summon another Seasonal monster to the field. I summon Seasonal Spring Swallow!" She summoned out a swallow bird as it flew out and had 900atk points. "They both might be of Spring, but we're skipping straight to another season. I build the overlay network with both my level three flower and swallow!"
"She can xyz summon again?!" Butch questioned.
"Our intel told us she only had one!" Bruce said as Cindy pulled a surprising move. Cindy xyz summoned once again as a pillar of light shot in the air and a new monster was made.
"Let the change in nature's beauty brings out new power! I xyz summon Seasonal Fall Wiccan!" Cindy called as she brought out a new sorceress with her having long auburn hair in black robes and carried a scepter with a fall leaf on it. She also had 2000atk points.
"Check it out! Cindy's got a new xyz monster!" Yukina said as that was incredible.
"I activate my wiccan's ability!" Cindy said. "As spring causes myself and my field to bloom, fall will make yours wither! By using one overlay unit, one of your monsters loses 1000atk points!" One of the units entered her scepter and unleashed a bright red light that drained the twin's behemoth power and it dropped to 500.
"No! That's enough to end this duel now!" Butch said as he and Bruce were in trouble.
"That's what's going to happen! Seasonal Fall Wiccan, attack that behemoth and end this! Autumn's Spectrum!" Cindy called. Her monster held out her staff and unleashed a blast of red/yellow/and orange lights. It blasted their monster and the power and force was enough as their life points dropped all the way to zero.
"It's done and over! Cindy has pulled out a win!" M.C. announced as everyone cheered for her.
"I can't believe we lost!" Butch said.
"We did because it was your fault." Bruce said. "There's not much we can do now, but we'll get payback next time." The twins were upset about their defeat, but there wasn't much they could do now except leave.
"Way to go, Cindy!" Yukina called.
"Yeah! You sure showed them!" Kent cheered as Cindy was real proud of herself as well. She can tell that she really is getting stronger.
"Cindy did do good. She even beat those annoying twins." Henry said. Sabaro was rather impressed himself. With those twins defeated, only those two of the Black Ace remain. Soon, this tournament will end and a winner will be made.
