"Hey all you dueling fans! We're coming closer and closer to the end of the qualifying tournament that is happening right here in Domino City!" M.C. announced. "We've had lots of dueling fun, but it's going to have come to an end. We have eight duelists that are about to become only four." The quarter finals of the tournament was going on as Yukina and her friends gave it their best, but it wasn't enough for some. Yukina ended up going against Cindy and she was about to win.
"Sorry, Cindy! I'm winning this! Attack now, Wild Ally Lion!" Yukina called as her lion pounced against Cindy's wiccan and destroyed it with the last of Yukina's life points dropping to zero.
"Oh man, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy to defeat Yukina." Cindy said. Cindy wasn't the only one who was dealing with a tough opponent. Hana had her hands full as she was dealing with Sabaro. Even she couldn't stand against the likes of him.
"Gem-Knight Lapis Lazuli, end this!" Sabaro said. Sabaro had his monster attack and blasted Hana with some power as her life points dropped all the way to zero.
"Argh... I couldn't beat him." Hana said as it was sore to lose to a member of the Black Ace, but at least there doesn't appear to be any serious repercussion for it.
"We've had a lot of great duels and now there are only four left!" M.C. announced as he showed the four that were remaining. "The king of the wild wind: Cray! The knight of shining gems: Sabaro! The one who started Duel Battlers with his Moltrocks: Henry! Finally, the girl of the wild: Yukina! These four are our remaining duelists and one of them will be walking away with 10000DP. Let's see who will be facing who?!" They decided to show the matches for the next round for only four remain now. It showed that it was going to be Henry vs. Yukina with it being Sabaro vs. Cray. "Here are the matches! I'm sure none of you are going to miss this!" Everyone was excited for these matches and can't wait to see which one of them is the best.
...
Yukina and Cray
"Well, it looks like it's you and me against two members of the Black Ace." Yukina said as she and Cray waited in a small room for their matches to start.
"A prelude to what's to come when the real show begins." Cray said. "Although, Henry is a tough one. He was playing with us and Felix when we dueled him before and was able to beat all three of us."
"No joke. You also want to be careful with Sabaro. I was able to beat him before, but I don't think he was using his full strength." Yukina said.
"You seriously need to tell me to be careful?" Cray said. "That's a little insulting. It's like you're saying I can't beat this guy. Yukina, you better win against Henry. If you do, it means that you and I can face each other in the finals. The only one who is allowed to beat you is me! Remember that!"
"Good grief. You surely haven't changed." Yukina said as she found it amusing. "You'll get your chance just as long as you do the same." These two fierce rivals aren't afraid to face each other, but they still need to get past the Black Ace members to face each other.
...
Cindy and Kent
"Of course Cray and Yukina would make it this far, but I still can't believe I lost!" Kent said as he and Cindy were in the halls with a couple drinks. "Oh well. Cray is the one who is going to win in the end."
"You are such a fanboy." Cindy said. "I'm actually a little concerned. You saw for yourself what Sabaro and Henry are like."
"Yeah, but there's no way Cray is going to lose." Kent said. "I'm not saying that Yukina will lose, but Cray will be the one that wins."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Both of them were a little surprised as they saw Henry standing there. "I'm the one who is going to win. I was able to beat both of your buddies before, and I can just do it again. Although, I do hope I get to face both of you again." That was something they didn't expect him to say. "Ever since I met you and your friends, things have gotten fun and interesting. Going against Yukina is going to fun, but I hope I get to duel you guys again. Later." He said as he just walked off with both of them thinking that was weird.
"I can't figure him out. He's with the Black Ace, but he seems like a nice guy. What's with him?" Kent questioned as Yukina thought the same thing. What is Henry's deal?
...
The Duel Field
"We are about to begin the semi-finals! One of these four duelists will be the one that walks away with 10000DP!" M.C. announced. "Our first match is between Henry and Yukina, and here they come!" The two of them came out on to the field with them ready for this duel.
"Go, Yukina!" Sylvia cheered.
"You can beat him this time!" Felix cheered.
"I hope you're ready, Henry. Things aren't going to go like they did last time." Yukina said.
"I know because your friends aren't here to get in the way." Henry said. "Sorry, but I'm the one who is gonna win, Yukina. At least I know it won't be be boring."
"Bring it on!" Yukina said as she put her duel disk together with Henry doing the same. We'll soon see if Yukina can actually beat Henry this time.
"Let's duel!" They both said as they were starting with 4000LP.
"I'll start this duel!" Yukina said as she was making the first move. "I'm going to start by summoning Wild Ally Hawk to the field!" She started things out with her hawk flying out on the field with 1600atk points. "That activates my hawk's special ability. I can now summon a second Wild Ally to join the field. I summon Wild Ally Skunk!" She summoned out a skunk with a white stripe running down from it's back to the tip of its tail and still wore that green collar with it having 1200atk points.
"Eew! A skunk!" Henry said as he didn't like that.
"And I plan to use my skunk's special ability!" Yukina said as it stood on it's front legs. "You take 200 points of damage for every Wild Ally on my field! Since I got two, you lose 400LP!" Her skunk fired a couple blasts of stink and they each blasted against Henry with his life points dropping to 3600.
"Oh man! That does stink!" Henry said as he could actually smell it.
"Eew! Skunk stink is never a good experience! Especially since Yukina took the initiative and was able to deal damage on her first turn!"
"I place one card facedown and that ends my turn." Yukina said.
"That is a stinky start for me. It looks like I'm gonna have to do some pest control. It's my turn!" Henry said as he drew his card. "I'll start by summoning my Moltrock Thorny to the field!" He said as he summoned out his lizard with it having 900atk points. "And now, I'll build my circuit and set Thorny in the link arrow!" His circuit was built and his monster went on inside. "I link summon Moltrock Shovel!" Moltrock Shovel emerged out on the field with 800atk points. "I now activate Moltrock Shovel's ability to bring Thorny back!" His monster came back with Yukina knowing what's next. "I build my circuit again with both of my monsters placed in the link arrows!" His circuit was formed again as both monsters dived in. "I link summon Moltrock Driller!" His driller came out with it having 2000atk points. "When Moltrock Driller is summoned, you take 500 points of damage!" His driller unleashed a spiral of flames and it burned against Yukina with her life points dropping to 3500. "There's more. Moltrock Driller is bringing back Moltrock Shovel!" He said as his shovel monster came back to the field.
"There is Henry's signature combos of dealing damage and bringing back his monsters before they even attack!" M.C. announced.
"How can Yukina break that guy's combos?" Sylvia said.
"Not sure. That Moltrock deck is quite complicated with being able to summon multiple monsters and deal damage again and again." Hana said. "Yukina's only chance to buy some time is to figure out a way to replenish her life points."
"Whatever Yukina does, she needs the chance to do it. That guy isn't going to give it to her." Kent claimed.
"Incoming, Yukina. I'm activating Molten Shedding!" Henry said. "If I tribute one of my Moltrock's, you take damage equal to half of it's attack points! Bye again, Moltrock Shovel!" His monster combust into a ball of fire and shot straight at Yukina. It smashed against her and her life points dropped to 3100. "Now it's time to battle! Moltrock Driller, do some pest control and take out her skunk with Spiral Magma!" His driller went on the attack and unleashed the attack against Yukina's skunk and destroyed it with her life points dropping even more to 2300.
"I activate my Animal Preservation trap! Since you destroyed a Wild Ally, this trap brings back all monsters that were destroyed this turn. My skunk will be stuck in defense mode, but it works for me." Yukina said as her skunk came back with 1000def points.
"Trying to save your monsters won't save your life points. Especially once these two face-downs are used." Henry said as he placed a couple cards and ended his turn.
"It's been a fiery duel with it only getting started." M.C. claimed. "Are we going to see more fireworks or is it possible that Henry is going to burn Yukina down?"
"My turn!" Yukina said as she drew her next card. "I'll start by summoning my Wild Ally Wolf to the field!" Her wolf jumped out on the field with it having 1900atk points. "I'm sure you remember what my wolf can do, but let me remind you. On the turn my wolf is summoned, I can have one monster lose 500atk points! That means your Moltrock Driller is losing some power!" Yukina's wolf unleashed a mighty howl and it caused Moltrock Driller's power drop to 1500. "There's also my skunk's ability! Now that I have three of my wild buddies on the field, you are losing 600LP!" Her skunk fired a few more stink blasts with Henry's life points dropping even more to 3000.
"Oh man. I'm going to need a serious bath after this." Henry complained.
"Now both of Yukina's monsters are stronger than his Driller!" Cindy said.
"True, but if one of those face-downs is Molten Mines, Yukina's in trouble." Felix said. "Not only will that trap block him from taking damage, but she'll also lose 500LP for every open space on his field. That will be enough to get Henry the win." None of them liked that.
"Fine. Go ahead and attack." Henry dared.
"I will after I play my Shifting Trick spell card! With this spell, I can select any spell or trap card on the field and send it to the bottom of the deck!" Yukina said. "I just hope I make the right choice. I choose the one on the right!"
"No! My Molten Mines!" Henry called as it sounded like Yukina made the right choice and it went back to his deck.
"Sounds like I'm in the clear. Wild Ally Hawk, attack his Moltrock Driller!" Yukina called as her hawk went on the attack. Her hawk used its talons and shredded his monster with Henry's life points dropping to 2900. "Now my wolf can attack you directly!"
"I don't think so! I still have Molten Combust!" Henry said as he had another trap. "It still stops your attack and you lose 500LP!" He said as a small combustion got in the way of her wolf's attack and Yukina's life points dropped to 1800. "What's more is that my trap allows me to summon out a Moltrock from my hand, and I summon Moltrock Friller!" Henry summoned out a new Moltrock as it looked like a frill-neck lizard made out of molten rock and had 1200atk points. "And the moment he's summoned, you lose another 500LP." His lizard spat out some magma and it burned against Yukina with her life points dropping to 1300.
"Oh man. Yukina won't be able to take much more." Cindy said.
"And Yukina's turn is just about done." Felix said as this wasn't looking good for her at all.
"I end my turn." Yukina said.
"What's wrong, Yukina? A little bummed that you're about to lose. Don't be too hard on yourself. It's not like you really could beat me. My turn!" Henry said as he drew his next card. "I summon Moltrock Crawler!" He said as his crawler came out with 1200atk points. "Now, you lose 500LP again!" His lizard unleashed another blast with Yukina's life points dropping to just 800.
"Oh man! Yukina keeps getting burned by Henry's Moltrock deck! It's starting to look like it will be most difficult to pull a comeback! "
"And it's about to get a lot worse for you, Yukina. I build my circuit once again!" Henry said as he built his circuit once again with both of his monsters diving into the arrows. "I link summon Moltrock Burrower!" He said as his monster emerged with 2000atk points. "Next, by negating their special abilities, I can revive another Moltrock from my graveyard! Welcome back Moltrock Driller!" He called as his monster came back as well. "Now, both Moltrock Driller and Moltrock Burrower, attack her hawk and wolf!" Both of his monsters went on the attack and destroyed both of Yukina's monsters with her life points dropping down to only 300.
"Yukina is holding on by a thread now. It's going to take a miracle for her to make a comeback, but I wouldn't get my hopes up."
"I think I'll end my turn, but my next turn will finish you, Yukina." Henry said. "Sorry, but it looks like I win again. I guess you're not all that great after all."
"Now allow me to give you a little hint: it's not over until it's over." Yukina said. "As long as I still have cards to draw and life points remaining, I can still pull of a chance to win."
"That sound nice if you weren't on the losing end." Henry retorted.
"Well, let's see if I can make it true. It's my turn!" Yukina said as she wasn't giving up just yet. "I activate my Trapping Monster spell! I'm now allowed to draw two cards! If one of them happens to be a trap, you take a thousand points of damage. I draw!" She drew the two cards. One of them was a monster, but the other was Fury of Wilderness. That was indeed another trap. "I told you so. I drew a trap, and that means you lose 1000LP."
"I what?!" Henry said as he didn't like that and ended up getting shocked as his life points dropped to 1900.
'These two aren't the cards I were hoping for, but it's better to end like this.' Yukina thought. "I summon Wild Ally Monkey!" She summoned out a black and white monkey wearing the collar and it had 1000atk points. "Next, I use my skunk's ability to deal damage!" Her skunk fired away again and blasted Henry with his life points dropping even more to 1500. "And I'm not stopping there! My monkey's ability makes him a helper monkey! I can now summon twice this turn! So, I'll tribute both my monkey and skunk to summon Wild Ally Phoenix!" She called as both of her monsters were released and her mighty phoenix flew out on the field with 2500atk points.
"Yukina has finally called on her best monster! She clearly hasn't given up just yet!"
"Wild Ally Phoenix, attack his Moltrock Burrower with Shining Wildfire!" Yukina called. Her phoenix ignited itself in flames and flew straight at his monster and destroyed it in a powerful strike with Henry's life points dropping to 1000. "I place one card facedown and that ends my turn!"
"A good effort, but it looks like it was all for nothing." Henry said. "It's my turn!" He said as he drew his next card, but all he needs is another Moltrock that deals effect damage to win. "I'm activating Pot of Greed to draw two more cards!" He drew two more cards with the tension getting stronger. "I summon a second Moltrock Thorny to the field!" He said as he summoned another one out. "I now activate the effect of the one in my graveyard! I return it and Moltrock Friller to summon again!" He claimed as both monsters returned to his deck. "I now tribute summon Moltrock Excavator!" He claimed as he released both of his monsters and summoned out his ace with it having 2500atk points as well. "Sorry, but it's over, Yukina. I'm activating Rush Recklessly to give him 700atk points to end this!" He played his spell and his monster's power increased to 3200.
"Oh boy! It looks like this could be it!" M.C. claimed with none of Yukina's friends liking this.
"Attack!" Henry called. Moltrock Excavator went on the attack as it unleashed it's power with this duel ending.
"I activate Fury of Wilderness!" Yukina called. "Since you're attacking a Wild Ally, the damage is doubled and we both take it!"
"Both of us?!" Henry said as he didn't like that. When that happened, a large explosion detonated that covered the entire field. Both duelists got caught in it and took some damage. That means that this duel only ended in one way, but no one expected it. Now instead of advancing, both duelists have been defeated.
