Maiami City's Leisure Centre, (11:00 AM)

"Where is she?" Oliver said to himself, checking the time again, he had been waiting for about 10 minutes now, and he had told her, her being Yuzu, that his Duel was today, he even gave her the location for his Duel.

"I hope she didn't think Matthew or Nigel's Duels were before mine..." he thought sighing "So much for having faith she would stick with this idea of hers…" he muttered, "Hey! I haven't lost track of my idea moron!" Yuzu suddenly yelled at him from his right, scaring him as she was holding her paper fan.

"Holy crap! Where did you come from?!" he asked in fear of the fan, "A few seconds, and I heard that, so take it back!" she threatened, raising her fan. "Right right, I'm sorry!" he said, "Thank you..." she said grinning, putting the fan way from where ever she got it from.

"That's fine, now let's get your first lesson in Fusion under way!" he said grinning, "Right! Thanks again for teaching me, all of you." she said with a bow, the two then made their way inside the Leisure Centre.

"Let's get this clear, I shall be harsh and fair at the same time!" he said, "How about just fair..." Yuzu growled out, "… Fine… Just fair..." he muttered, "Boy what the hell does Yuya see in her?" he asked himself.

A few moments later, the two were now standing within a giant area, where many people were taking their seats. "Hello? I'm here for the Duel! Oliver shouted, a few seconds later the manager of the centre walked over, she was about 30, with red hair in pony tail. And her clothing was a yellow vest that hugged her figure. And dark blue shorts.

"Howdy! Welcome to the Leisure Centre, my name is Joy!" Joy introduced, the two bowed to her, "Nice to meet you, I'm Oliver Denisu!" Oliver said, "Oh yes! Nico Smile called yesterday about you wanting a Duel to qualify for the Senior Division!" Joy said.

"Right, so can we start? Where is my opponent?" he asked, just then a young man walked up to them, he had tanned skin, short hair, that looked to be braided, he wore a black vest and grey shorts, and he also wore climbing equipment, also carrying a set of climbing equipment in one hand, the other had two helmets.

"Yo! Name's Klim!" the young man said, Oliver bowed at him, who then returned it. "What's the gear for?" he asked, "Us! We're doing some climbing while we Duel!" Klim said tossing the equipment and one of the helmets at Oliver, who stumbled to catch both.

"R-Really? I'm not one for upper body strength!" Oliver said weakly, "You'll be fine, now let's started! I can't wait to beat one of the three Denisu brothers!" Klim said grinning, making Oliver return his own grin, "I'd like to see you try!" he said, he then turned to Yuzu.

"You should probably go sit down, and get ready to learn." he said to her, "Right! Good luck!" she said. With that she walked off to her seat.

"So..." Oliver said to Klim and Joy, "Who do I put this on?" he asked, referring to the climbing equipment in his hand…

---

10 Minutes later

Both Oliver and Klim stood parallel to one another, Oliver now wearing the same climbing equipment as Klim, he was told to remove his jacket to make moving around easier. "Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for coming to see this wonderous Duel at the Leisure Centre!" Joy said over the mic system, the crowd clapped.

"Today with have two fiery competitors ready to deck it out with their Deck!" she added, "In the left corner, a regular to this place, Klim!" she yelled out, getting cheers from the crowd for Klim, "And the visitor, he's known for his being a jokester among his brothers, the youngest of Denisu Brothers, Oliver!" she said, and this got clapping but also some chatting.

"Denisu? Didn't they all do very well in the Senior Division last year?" a man asked his friend, with Yuzu hearing this, "Man they really are famous to some extent..." Yuzu said to herself.

"Now that both contenders are ready, let's begin! I now activate the Action Field, Twisting Cliffs!" Joy shouted, snapping her fingers, causing the Arc System to activate, making the field start to materialise.

Now the two stood on a what appeared to be a giant canyon of twists and turns, they at the bottom of it. "Duelist locked in battle, kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Klim shouted out.

"They storm through the field, now behold! This is the latest and greatest evolution to Dueling!" Oliver took over. "ACTION…" the crowd said, just then the bubble containing the Action Cards popped, scattering them across the field.

"DUEL!" the two shouted, drawing five cards each.

Klim's LP: 4000

Oliver's LP: 4000

Turn 1

"I'll take the first turn!" Klim said, as he took off running. First I Set a monster!" he said as the card appeared face down, a spiky dark monster with angry red eyes appearing on top of the card. "Then I activate the Spell, Double Summon! Letting me Normal Summon or Set this turn!" he said.

"I Normal Summon Evolsaur Diplo!" he said, and now appearing on the Field was a small purple Brontosaurus, with its back covered in some spiked armour.

Evolsaur Diplo: FIRE, Level: 4 [Dinosaur/Effect] ATK/1600 DEF/800

"Then I place two cards face-down and end my turn!" he said as two cards appeared face-down, then faded away. "See ya at the top!" he shouted, and then proceeded to climb up the holographic terrain.

Klim's Hand x 0

Turn 2

"Right, my turn! Draw!" Oliver yelled, drawing his card, "Since you control a monster, I Special Summon Bio Bug - Grid Spider from my Hand!" he said, with the techno organic spider to appear.

Bio Bug - Grid Spider: FIRE, Level: 3 [Insect/Effect] ATK/1000 DEF/800

"Since it was Summoned through its own effect, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Bio Bug from my Deck!" he said as a card ejected itself from his Deck, which he took. "I Summon a second Grid Spider!" he said. A second Grid Spider appeared on the other side of the first.

"Then I set a monster and two cards and end my turn!" he said as a set monster appeared, a second spiky monster appeared on top of it, and two face-down cards, that then faded.

"Huh? Nothing? That's kind of lame." a man in the crowd said, "I hope you watched closely Yuzu!" Oliver shouted into the crowd, then started his own climb up. "What could I learn from simple moves like that?" she thought confused.

Oliver's Hand x 2

Turn 3

"The man's got a point. That was lame!" Klim mocked, he then pulled himself up to the top of the cliff he had been climbing. "Wow! He got up there fast!" Yuzu commented. "I Draw!" he said drawing his card.

"I Flip Summon Evoltile Westlo!" he said, as the spiky monster on the set monster card disappeared, the card then flipped to reveal itself, and a small green iguana like monster with beady blue eyes appeared, at the base of its tail to the end was a strand of double helix DNA.

Evoltile Westlo: FIRE, Level: 3 [Reptile/Effect] ATK/700 DEF/1900

"It's flip effect! I can Special Summon 1 Evolsaur monster from my Deck!" he said, a card ejected itself from his Deck, which he took, "I Summon Evolsaur Cerato!" he said, now appearing on the field was an orange raptor like monster, like Westlo, he had a strand of double helix DNA.

Evolsaur Cerato: FIRE, Level: 4 [Dinosaur/Effect] ATK/1900 DEF/1400

"Cerato's effect! Since it was Summoned through a Evoltile monster, it gains 200 ATK!" he said, Cerato's ATK: 1900 + 200 = 2100.

"Then I activate the Trap, Evo-Branch!" he said as a face-down on his side flipped upwards, "I can destroy a Reptile Type monster!" he said as Westlo was destroyed in an explosion. "Then I can Special Summon an Evoltile monster from my Deck in face-down Defense!" he said, once again taking a card from his Deck and placing it on his blade face-down, causing a spiky monster to appear over the card.

"Then I Normal Summon a second Cerato!" he said as a second Cerato appeared, "And now, by using the Level 4 Diplo and second Cerato, I build the Overlay Network!" he yelled, as the three chosen monsters turned into red energy, that shot into the air, then down into the galaxy that appeared near his feet.

"Xyz Summon! Rank 4 Evolzar Laggia!" he yelled, taking the Xyz Monster card from his Extra Deck compartment, and placing it over its material, appearing from a blaze of fire, was a white dragon like dinosaur, it has 3 pairs of wings on its back. The secondary colour on it was a pale blue, on its belly was hive comb like structure. Orbiting it at a distance were 2 red Overlay Units.

Evolzar Laggia: FIRE, Rank: 4 [Dragon/Xyz/Effect] ATK/2400 DEF/2000, OLUs: 2

"Talk about evolution!" Yuzu commented, "Battle! Cerato attack the second Grid Spider!" he ordered, *ERROR!* "Huh?" he said looking at his Duel Disk, which told him that there was an error. "Error!? What's wrong?" he asked himself.

"Nothing, it's just that while Grid Spider, or Spiders for plural are face-up on the Field, you cannot attack any other face-up Bio Bug except them!" Oliver explained, shocking Klim with this. While this happened, Oliver was half way to the top, with both Grid Spider shooting a webs from his shoulders to help him up faster, and for just in case he needed to activate cards from his Duel Disk.

"Wait? Face-up? That means..." Klim said looking down at the face-down monster on Oliver's Field, he then smirked. "Fine then! Since I can't attack any face-up Bio Bug, I'll attack your Set monster!" he said, Cerato then charged at the Set monster.

It flipped over, to reveal its true from, which was a black and dark green cocooned monster, it was roughly the size of either player's leg up to their knee. The tip, which was what kept the monster balanced, was a bullet casing, it had 5 beady orange eyes at its head peering outwards.

"You just Flipped Summoned Bio Bug - Ammo Pupa!" Oliver said, telling everyone the flipped monster's name.

Bio Bug - Ammo Pupa: FIRE, Level: 1 [Insect/Effect] ATK/100 DEF/100

"And since it was Flipped Summoned, it's Flip effect activates!" he shouted, "I can Fusion Summon a Bio Bug Fusion Monster using it and other Bio Bug monsters in my Hand or Field as Fusion Material!" he said. The crowd and Klim gasped at this.

"I Fuse Ammo Pupa and a Grid Spider!" he said as the two monsters picked glowed red and blue, "When Pupa is used to Fusion Summon, it is treated as a listed Fusion Material!" he said.

"The pupa that can take many forms, the spider that works the grid, become one and reveal your new form!" he said, the two monster swirled together, causing a bright light. "Fusion Summon! Appear Level 6, Bio Bug - Fatal Scorpion!" he said, taking the card from his Extra Deck.

Now appearing on the field was a crimson metal humanoid scorpion. It stood on two legs that was thick-ish, they had some silver fitted into the legs, on each side of its waist were two small scorpion legs, the tips were sharp. It's arms were normal like that of a human, but on top of the wrist were the pincer claws like that of a scorpion. It's head was visor like, the lens being blue, the helmet itself was shaped like a scorpion's head with blue beady eyes on it. The chest area was similar to the helmet with two of the fangs, which were silver were pointing downwards at an angle. On it's shoulder were two scorpion tails, that dangled forward threateningly.

Bio Bug - Fatal Scorpion: FIRE, Level: 6 [Insect/Fusion/Effect] ATK/2300 DEF/1200

"Since Pupa lefted the Field, I can add 1 Bio Bug card from my Deck except Pupa!" he said, adding a card to his Hand. "Now Scorpion's effect! When Special Summoned or monsters are Special Summoned to your Field, I can place a Bug Counter on all non Bio Bug monsters that don't have a Counter!" he said. A small mechanical scorpion appeared on Cerato and Laggia. Cerato's BC: 0 + 1 = 1, Laggia's BC: 0 + 1 = 1

"Then I activate my Trap! Second Fusion!" he said, one of his face-downs flipped up, it had an image of a Polymerization card within the image of a second Polymerization card, but it was the direction of the vortex was reversed to the first.

"Since I Fusion Summoned, I can immediately Fusion Summon again by banishing the Fusion Material from before!" he said shocking the crowd and Klim but Yuzu the most.

"Once again! The Pupa that takes on many forms, and the spider that works the grid, become one and reveal your new form!" he yelled, once again the cards that were just used to Fusion Summon, swirled together again blue and red.

"Fusion Summon!" he yelled, taking the card as it ejected itself from his Extra Deck, "Appear! Knight of the hive mind! Bio Bug - Flareguard Beetle!" he yelled slamming the onto his blade, with his ace appearing from his torrent of plasma.

Bio Bug - Flareguard Beetle: FIRE, Level: 7 [Insect/Fusion/Effect] ATK/2400 DEF/2000

"Amazing! Two Fusion Summons during his opponent's turn!" Joy shouted out amazed by the stunt. "See that Yuzu!? If you can set up your Field, Fusion Summoning is really easy like that!" Oliver yelled to his friend, who nodded in understanding. "Got it!" she yelled back.

"I activate Laggia's effect!" Klim yelled, "By using both it's Overlay Units..." he said, as the two red unit were absorbed into Laggia's body. Laggia's OLU's: 2 – 2 = 0. "Since you Summoned monsters, or activated a Spell or Trap this turn, I can negate that Summon or card and destroy it!" he said.

The fire around Laggia grew stronger, turning into a blaze of flames that then "Since Flareguard Beetle was Summoned before I activated this effect, it's destroyed!" he said.

"I activate the effect of Bio Bug - Backfire Cockroach from my Hand!" Oliver shouted, holding a card, "Should a card effect destroy a Bio Bug monster, I can equip Cockroach onto that monster!" he said, he inserted the card into his Duel Disk.

And this caused a giant flattish techno organic cockroach monster to appear, it was brown, copper and red in colour, it's small limbs then retracted into its body, and then the monster itself soared over to Flareguard, who held out his arm, where the cockroach Bio Bug monster fastened itself onto.

"While equipped with Backfire Cockroach, Flareguard can't be destroyed by card effects!" Oliver explained. Flareguard raised it's new shield and split the fires shooting at him.

"Fine! Since you only control one Grid Spider now, Cerato's attack switches to it now!" Klim said smirking, Cerato quickly changed direction and charged at Grid Spider, which was in Attack, so damage was dealt, also it was destroyed. Oliver's LP: 4000 – 1100 = 2900.

"Damn that stung!" Oliver swore, continuing his climb without the aid of Grid Spiders now, but he didn't have much climbing left.

"And now for Laggia to attack Fatal Scorpion!" Klim ordered, with the Evolved Dragon monster to divebomb at Scorpion.

Oliver had just made it to the top sweating has he heaved himself up, he sighed out of breath"Huh?" he said on his back, he looked upwards… from his position, and saw an Action Card resting near a stone just arms reach from him.

"Please be good..." he begged grabbing it, "Yes! I activate the Action Spell, Evasion! Your Laggia's attack is negated!" he said. Scorpion suddenly ducked out of Laggia's flight path, while Flareguard stood over Oliver, and offered him a hand, which he took.

"And it looks like Klim has dealt the first blow! Can Oliver turn this around?" Joy said, "I end my turn!" Klim said, happy he dealt some damage.

Klim's Hand x 0

Turn 4

"Now for me to take over! Draw!" Oliver said grinning, drawing his card. "First I activate Backfire Cockroach's effect!" he said as Cockroach jumped off Flareguard's arm, "When equipped to a monster, once per turn, it can Special Summon itself in Attack!" he said, he took the card from his Duel Disk's Spell or Trap Zone, and placed it on his blade. The shield Flareguard used suddenly detached. Taking its own place on the field.

Bio Bug - Backfire Cockroach: FIRE, Level: 6 [Insect/Effect] ATK/800 DEF/2000

"Then I activate the Equip Spell, Bio Bug's Burning Venom!" he said, "I equip it onto Flareguard!" he said, two small beetle like monsters appear on Flareguard's wrists, then a small needle popped out above their heads.

"The equipped monster gains 600 ATK!" he said. Flareguard Beetle's ATK: 2400 + 600 = 3000.

"Battle! Fatal Scorpion attacks Cerato!" he ordered, the scorpion's shoulder tail extended, "Scorpion's effect! During the damage step, with he battles a monster with a Bug Counter, that monster is destroyed!" he said as the stingers of the tails stabbed Cerato, destroying it instantly.

"Then for it's other effect! When a monster with a Bug Counter is destroyed, I can destroy 1 card you control, which will be you face-down!" he said as the stingers then shot out a fireball each, aiming for Klim's face-down.

"Oh no you don't!" Klim shouted, racing off, as he ran he reached down to swipe the Action Card he spotted. "I activate the Action Trap, Mirror Bounce!" he shouted. "Should you try and destroy a card of mine, I can target a card you control that is the same as mine that would be destroyed, and its destroyed instead!" he said.

"Since my card is Set, I can destroyed your Set card!" he said, suddenly a mirror appeared above Klim's Set card, reflecting the fireballs at Oliver's Set card, "Damn it! I needed that!" Oliver swore under his breath.

"You're lucky, as if that card had been destroyed, you would have taken 300 damage for every Bio Bug card on the field." Oliver grumbled out.

"Now for Beetle to attack Laggia!" he ordered, with Beetle rushing into battle, too fast for Klim to do anything, Laggia was punched out by Beetle it was then destroyed, Klim's LP: 4000 – 600 = 3400.

"Burning Venom's effect!" Oliver shouted, the weapons attached to Beetle started to gather energy, "Since the equipped monster destroyed a monster, you take damage equal to half of Beetle's original ATK!" he said shocking his opponent.

The gathered energy then shot out in two balls, and hit Klim in the stomach, 3400 – 1200 = 2200. (Klim) "Now for Cockroach to attack your Set monster!" he ordered, as Cockroach then charged at the Set monster, which flipped over, to reveal a small reptile like monster, it was blue in colour, it also had blue beady eyes. "You Flipped Summoned Evoltile Gephyro!" Klim said.

Evoltile Gephyro: FIRE, Level: 1 [Reptile/Effect] ATK/200 DEF/400

The newly flipped monster was quickly destroyed, "Gephyro's effect! When destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Evolsaur from there!" he said.

"I Summon back Cerato!" he said taking the card from his Graveyard Slot, placing it on his blade and making Cerato appear on the field again. "Since it was Summoned through a Evoltile's effect, it gains 200 ATK!" he said. 1900 + 200 = 2100. (Cerato)

"Since a monster was Summoned, Scorpion's effect places a Bug Counter on it!" Oliver yelled out, 0 + 1 = 1 (Cerato) "I then place 2 cards face-down and end my turn!" Oliver said as two cards appeared on his Field, which then faded.

Oliver's Hand x 0

Turn 5

"Oliver has pushed Klim into a corner! Can he make it out of there?" Joy said, "Of course I can! I Draw!" Klim yelled, drawing his card. "I Normal Summon Evoltile Odonto!" he said, a small orange coloured lizard appeared, it's body shape was round.

Evoltile Odonto: FIRE, Level: 2 [Reptile/Effect] ATK/500 DEF/1200

"Normally when this effect is used I can Special Summon a Evolsaur from my Hand, but I don't have any more cards in my Hand… But that won't stop me!" Klim said smirking, "I now activate the Trap, Evo-Singularity!" he shouted, activating his face-down that he protected last turn.

"This card let's me Special Summon an Evolzar Xyz Monster from my Extra Deck, by targeting an Evoltile and Evolsaur!" he said, "So now I Special Summon Evolzar Solda!" he said, his Extra Deck ejected a card, which he took and placed on his blade.

Appearing on his side of the Field was a new Evolzar monster, like Laggia, it was white in overall colour, with light blue details on it, it was thin in structure, sort of like a Pterodactyl. It roared as it appeared.

Evolzar Solda: FIRE, Rank: 6 [Dragon/Xyz/Effect] ATK/2600 DEF/1000, OLUs: 0

"Then the targeted Evoltile and Evolsaur are attached to the Summoned monster as Overlay Units!" he added, Odonto and Cerato condenses into red spheres of energy, and made their way over to Solda, where they orbited the monster. Solda's OVUs: 0 + 2 = 2. "Scorpion's effect, Solda gains a Bug Counter!" Solda's BC: 0 + 1 = 1

"He basically just Xyz Summoned!" Yuzu shouted in shock, with Oliver impressed with this, "Good move, but not enough!" Oliver complimented. "We'll see. Battle! Solda will attack Cockroach!" Klim ordered.

Solda then flew upwards and started to gather fire from around its being, "I activate the Continous Trap, Bio Bug's Swarming Tactic!" Oliver shouted activating his Set card, "I can negate 1 attack involving a Bio Bug!" he said.

Solda's attack diminished, "Then I can Special Summon a Bio Bug from my Deck in Attack, so I Summon Bio Bug - Chopping Mantis from my Deck!" he said taking the card from his Deck and placing it on his blade, making the m techno organic mantis monster appear.

Bio Bug - Chopping Mantis: FIRE, Level: 5 [Insect/Effect] ATK/2000 DEF/500

"If your thinking of using your monster's effect, don't bother! Swarming Tactic makes it so that the Summoned monster cannot be destroyed for the rest of the turn, but also at the cost of its effects." Oliver said, making Klim raise an eyebrow.

"How did you know I was going to do that?" he asked, "Unlike most people, I read my opponent's card info!" he said, while Yuzu sneezed. "Then I guess I end my turn..." Klim said annoyed, hoping to do some damage.

Klim's Hand x 0

Turn 6

"My turn! Draw!" Oliver said, drawing his card, "I activate Chopping Mantis's effect!" he said, "By sending a Bio Bug Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard..." he said taking a card from his Deck and placing it into his Graveyard. "Chopping Mantis gains that card's name for the rest of the turn, and can also attack all monsters you control." he explained.

"The card I sent to the Graveyard was Bio Bug - Tunnelling Worm, so Chopping Mantis gains it's name." he said, a ghostly image of a worm like monster with a drill at the end of its tail appeared, and was absorbed into Mantis.

"Then I activate Bio Bug Fusion!" he said, "I can Fuse together Bio Bug monsters or cards from my Hand, Deck or Field to Fusion Summon a Bio Bug Fusion Monster!" he said, "I Fuse Chopping Mantis treated as Tunnelling Worm, Cockroach and Fatal Scorpion!" he said.

The three monsters then floated into the air, glowing red, yellow and blue, "Mantis that steals other soul, scorpion with a fatal sting, and the Cockroach that can blow up in the enemy's face, become one and reveal your new form!" he said as the monster then swirled together.

"Fusion Summon! Appear Level 3! Bio Bug - Pitfall Worm!" he said. Now appearing from underneath the holographic earth was a drill like serpent monster, it was actually a long techno organic worm, for its head, there was a drill that split three ways, it opened up to reveal a small round head with a single eye. Along its long body were red gem ports, expelling energy spikes, which it used to tunnel easier, the overall colour was a dark brown. In height its tail to head, made it just smaller then Flareguard Beetle.

Bio Bug - Pitfall Worm: FIRE, Level: 3 [Insect/Fusion/Effect] ATK/1200 DEF/800

"A worm?! Ha! What can that thing do?" Klim asked, but he was also looking around for an Action Card, he spotted one, on a cliff so he ran over to the cliff and started to climb. "It's effect! When Fusion Summoned using Tunnelling Worms on the Field, I can target 1 card you control per one used, and destroy it!" he explained.

Pitfall Worm dug its hands into the earth, and started to drill while it's hand started to ignite on fire, it then brought its now flaming hands up, now holding a flaming piece of rock in its hands. "I target Solda!" he said as Pitfall then tossed the flaming rock at Solda.

"Nice try but Solda can't be destroyed by card effects while it has Overlay Units." Klim said, Solda then released a stream of fire from its mouth at the thrown object, melting it into magma. "And since you Special Summoned a monster, by using an Overlay Unit..." 2 – 1 = 1 (Solda)

"I can destroy that monster!" he said, Solda released another stream of fire, this time at Pitfall Worm, who was incinerated. "Since a Bio Bug monster was destroyed, while Tunnelling Worm was in the Graveyard, I can Special Summon it!" a worm, similar to Pitfall worm appeared, this one was smaller, just reaching up to Flareguard's knee., its head drill opened to reveal a single orb for an eye.

Bio Bug - Tunnelling Worm: FIRE, Level: 2 [Insect/Effect] ATK/800 DEF/400

"Now I activate Flareguard's effect! Once per turn, I can target 1 Bio Bug in my Graveyard, then one monster on the field, and equip that first monster onto the target on the field!" Oliver said.

"I chose Chopping Mantis! And equip it onto Solda! Draining Infestation!" he yelled, a small dark portal then appeared behind Solda with a smaller version Chopping Mantis appearing and clinging onto the monster's back.

"Battle! Flareguard Beetle attack Solda!" he yelled out, the boosters on Beetle ignited, giving the monster a boost of speed, "Not so fast!" Klim yelled grabbing the Action Card, "I activate the Action Spell, Equal Force!" he said.

"Now my monster's ATK becomes the same as your battling monster's ATK, and neither can be destroyed in that battle." he said, 2600 = 3000 (Solda) "Flareguard Beetle's effect! I can negate an attack involving itself!" Oliver said, the thruster on Beetle stopped. "Then your battling monster loses ATK equal to half the ATK of another monster I control. I pick Tunnelling Worm!" 3000 - 400 = 2600 (Solda)

"Beetle's other effect! Since an attack involving it was negated while monsters are equipped onto monsters, I target one of them, then you take damage equal to half the equipped monster's ATK! Plasma Feedback!" he yelled.

Beetle then gathered plasma within its chest horns, then shot it out at Klim, who clung to the side of the cliff and plasma rained down over him, 2200 – 1000 = 1200. (Klim)

"And then for this! I activate the Set Quick-Play Spell, Double or Nothing!" he said, his second face-down flipped upwards, "The card he used last time." Yuzu said to herself, "Since an attack was negated, that battle is restarted, this time though, Beetle's ATK is doubled!" Oliver said smirking, 3000×2 = 6000. (Flareguard Beetle)

"6000 ATK!?" Klim yelled out in shock, "End this! Scorching Burn Uppercut!" Oliver shouted, as Beetle's fist ignited with fire, he then approached Solda from underneath, then proceeded to give the dragon a skyward uppercut, it reeled back from the punch. The force of the attack made Klim fall, but lucky Beetle caught him before he hit the floor. 1200 – 3400 = 0. (Klim)

Oliver: WINS

Klim: LOSE

The field they were standing in started to dematerialise, along with the cards that were on the field. Beetle was the last to disappear after putting Klim down safely. "That was a good match, even though I knew I would win in the end." Oliver said smirking at his opponent.

"It was, but don't think you've in the clear for now, I'll be coming for you again." Klim said, grinning, even though he lost, the two then shook hands, "And there you have it folks, the winner of the Duel is Oliver Denisu!" Joy shouted, the crowd then cheered and clapped for Oliver's victory, with both him and Klim doing a bow to the crowd.

"See ya soon!" Oliver said as he then proceeded to get changed. 10 minutes later, he had taken off the climbing gear and had his jacket back on, waiting outside the changing room for him was Yuzu.

"So what did you think?" he asked, "It was great, and I did learn something, the timing is important when Fusion Summoning which implies for the other two" she said, "That or you need to ensure that you can protect them if you do, which I showed, your opponent is not just going to let you keep a strong monster, right?" he said. Klim had tried multi times to destroy his monsters.

"Oh right, I didn't think of that..." she said sheepishly, "Now another thing you should now about Fusion Summoning, is that unlike Synchro or Xyz monsters, Fusion Monsters can sometimes require specific monsters for Fusion Material, so you need to ensure you have the correct Material to Summon the monster you want." he said also.

"Right..." she said taking that in as well, "I think Nigel's Duel is happening soon, do you know where you have to go?" he asked as the two made it outside. "Yeah, the Gardeners Society Building, I'll see you later!" she said, and with that she ran off.

"She may actually pull it off..." he muttered to himself...

---

Meanwhile…

Within the city, Apollo was walking about, looking for something to eat while also trying to keep his boredom at bay, "What can I do that is reasonably cheap..." he said to himself, a fan of money, just not wanting to spend much.

He couldn't think of anything, but just then he noticed a Duel nearby taking place, a crowd gathering around it, so he made his way over, but was disgusted at what he saw, not with the players, but the monsters being used.

"Great, more Synchro Monsters..." he thought irritated, with that thought he quickly got as far as possible from the Duel, but then something or someone bumped into him, "Hey watch it!" he growled at a young girl with pink hair in pig tails.

"Oh sorry sir, but I'm in a hurry!" she said apologising as she ran off, but stopped suddenly, "Where is the way to Nigel's Duel..." she muttered to herself she then turned to the street sign, which showed her the routes she could take, but the name she spoke caught Apollo's attention.

"Nigel? Does she mean Nigel Denisu maybe?" he thought, that name had been on his thoughts lately, "Maybe I should follow her to see if it is that Nigel." he whispered to himself. "Oh here we are! This way!" she said, and with that she ran off to the right, which Apollo knew lead to the Gardener's Society. So he followed her at a distance...

Maiami City's Gardener's Society, (12:39 AM)

"Made it..." Yuzu sighed out, panting to catch her breath, when she caught her breath, she looked up to no Nigel around to greet her, "Huh? Where is he?" she asked herself, just behind her, hiding in the shadows was Apollo, she was unaware that he had followed her.

"This is the right place, so maybe he's already inside." she guessed, she then proceeded to walk up to the automatic doors… and a silent Nigel was giving her a stern stare, "Nigel! There you are!" she said smiling at him, meanwhile Apollo was also grinning, having finally seen Nigel after over a year.

"It is him, now let's see how much better he's become..." Apollo thought, "Look I'm sorry that I'm late." Yuzu said to Nigel, "..." Nigel remained quiet, still giving her a stare, "The only reason I was late was that I've never been to this district before." she said.

"..." once again, Nigel didn't say a thing, but he did lessen his stare on her, "I hope you can still Duel, you can right?" she asked, "..." again nothing, but he did nod, and turned around and made his way inside, "Hey wait up!" she said running after him.

"Time to see how far he's come..." Apollo muttered to himself, as he then walked into the building…

---

Inside the building, (10 minutes later)

With Yuzu, she was now sitting in the stands, along with the rest of the crowd that had gathered, just behind her a couple seats back was Apollo, arms folded as he waited. Just then a man dressed in light blue overall without the arm sleeves, a light brown shirt under that, and a straw hat, he had tanned skin and a slight beard.

"Howdy Y'all! Welcome to the Gardener's Societly! My name is Doj, and I'll be your host for today's event!" Doj said, with most of the crowd clapping, the only exception was Apollo. "Can they just get onto the Duel already?" he thought bored.

"Now onto our contenders for today's match!" Doj said looking to his left, where Nigel came walking from the corridor.

"Here we have one the three Denisu Brothers, but this one is known for his silent, but deadly approach..." Doj said earning some laughter from the little joke he just made, Nigel however was not amused. "Meet the visitor, Nigel Denisu!" Doj said, with the crowd applauding for Nigel.

"A now for our resident contender, she tough, she's rough, but she also the nicest girl you ever gonna meet! Here's… Clover!" he said, just then a young girl with dirt blonde hair in pig tails appeared, she also had freckles and light blue eyes. In her mouth was a single bit a hay she was chewing on.

For clothing she wore something similar to Doj, but her overalls with a lavender colour, and her shirt under that was pink, she also had a red scarf around her neck, and wore green boots that were slighty scuffed and had tiny bits of dried mud on them.

"Hey Y'all! I'm Clover, nice to met you!" Clover said bowing, the crowd then clapped for her, "Now that the two have been introduced, let's continue. I activate the Action Field, Wild Jungle! Yeehaa!" Doj shouted.

The Arc System activated, and started to generate a lush jungle, teaming with exotic plants and tall trees with long vines here and there. "I hope you as ready as a racing hare!" Clover said to Nigel, who was silent and confused by what she meant.

"ACTION…." the crowd said, having said the rest while the two activated their Duel Disk, with Clover's being grass green colour. The bubble with the Action Cards burst, scattering the cards within.

"DUEL!" the two Duelist yelled, drawing 5 cards each.

Clover's LP: 4000

Nigel's LP: 4000

Turn 1

"I'll take the first turn!" Clover said, "First I Normal Summon Aromage Jasmine!" she said, a small fairy like monster dressed in a light blue cloak appeared, she had light blue hair that reached past her face.

Aromage Jasmine: LIGHT, Level: 2 [Plant/Effect] ATK/100 DEF/1900

"Then I activate the Spell, Foolish Burial!" she said, "I can send 1 monster in my Deck to the Graveyard." she said, a card was ejected from her Deck, "I send Aromage Rosemary to the Graveyard." she said, sending the card she took and placing it into her Graveyard.

"Then I activate the effect of Aromaseraphy Angelica from my Hand!" she said, "I can discard her, and target 1 Aroma monster in my Graveyard, and gain LP equal to the target's ATK!" she said, sending Angelica to the Graveyard.

"Since the only target could be Rosemary, I gain LP equal to her ATK!" she said, Clover's LP: 4000 + 1800 = 5800. "Since I gained LP, Jasmine's effect let's me draw a card.!" she said drawing a card

"And then during my main phase, I can Normal Summon again in addition to my actual Normal Summon!" she said, "So now I Tribute Jasmine to Tribute Summon Aromage Bergamot!" she said, Jasmine burst into particles, which then quickly gathered to form a new form, the light faded away to reveal a new monster, this one was taller and more mature than Jasmine, she wore a cloak like Jasmine, but this one was a dark red garnet colour. In her hand was a wooden staff with a hook like end to it.

Aromage Bergamot: FIRE, Level: 6 [Plant/Effect] ATK/2400 DEF/1800

"I then set two cards and end my turn!" she said as two cards appeared face-down, then faded away. "Let's see what you can do cowboy!" she said smirking.

Clover's Hand x 0

Turn 2

"My turn! Draw!" Nigel said, now speaking as he's in a Duel, he then drew his card, "First I activate the Spell, Reinforcement of the Army!" he said, "This card let's me add a Level 4 or lower Warrior Type monster from my Deck to my Hand!" he said, "I'll add the Tuner Monster Mirror Edge - Two-Sided Mirror!" he said, the card he picked was ejected from his Deck, which he added to his Hand.

"Then I Normal Summon the Mirror Edge - Shard Spawner!" he said, as the Tuner monster appeared on his Field.

Mirror Edge - Shard Spawner: LIGHT, Level: 2 [Warrior/Tuner/Effect] ATK/500 DEF/100

"Then I activate its effect! I pay up to 500 LP..." he said, Nigel's LP: 4000 – 200 = 3800. "By doing so, I can Special Summon a Mirror Edge Shard Token with a Level for every 100 LP I paid!" he said, his Duel Disk generated a Token monster card for him, which he placed on his blade, with a Token monster appearing near Shard Spawner.

Mirror Edge - Shard Token: Level: 2, Warrior, Token, LIGHT, ATK/DEF: 0/0

"Then I activate the effect of Two-Sided Mirror from my Hand, since I Summoned a Mirror Edge monster, I can Special Summon it!" he said, the monster appeared, the second he placed it on his blade.

Mirror Edge - Two-Sided Mirror: LIGHT, Level: 1 [Warrior/Tuner/Effect] ATK/100 DEF/100

"And then for Copy Crack's effect! It can also be Special Summoned when a Mirror Edge monster is Summoned." he said, he then placed the card onto his blade, where the monster appeared on his field.

Mirror Edge - Copy Crack: LIGHT, Level: 1 [Warrior/Effect] ATK/0 DEF/0

"Then I activate the Continious Spell, Mirror Edge - Double Reflection!" he said, the card then appeared face-up on his side of the field. "When I perform a Synchro Summon for a Mirror Edge Synchro Monster, I can treat the Tuner monster for that Summon as 2 Tuners!" he said.

"I now Double Tune the Level 2 Shard Spawner to the Level 2 Shard Token!" he said, Shard Spawner then turned into 2 rings, with the token flying through them, losing its colours, and gaining two stars.

2* + 2* = 4*

"Lancer of clear glass, thrust through the blockade to met your follow knights!" he said as a beam shot through the stars and rings, "Synchro Summon! Appear Level 4! Mirror Edge - Clear Lancer!" he yelled.

He took the ejected card from his Extra Deck, and placed it onto his blade, this caused a new Mirror Edge monster to appear, it was slightly smaller than Nigel, and was covered with the same mirror armour the other Synchro Mirror Edge monster was covered in as well. Once of its arm a long spear like lance, but the entire thing was made out of a clear crystal. It gave a war cry as it appeared fully.

Mirror Edge - Clear Lancer: LIGHT, Level: 4 [Warrior/Synchro/Effect] ATK/1800 DEF/1300

"Damn Synchro Monster..." Apollo gritted out, his useless eye flaring up. In front of him, Yuzu cleaned her ears out, having thought she had heard something.

"I activate Copy Crack's effect!" he said, the sphere like monster, started to gain cracks all over it's body, "I can target 1 monster on the field, and Copy Crack is treated as that monster, along with everything else about it!" he said.

The sphere then exploded in a flurry of shards, "I target Bergamot!" he said, the shards then gathered again, this time making a shape similar to Bergamot's shape, a flash of light occurred, and after it ended, a mirror like version of Bergamot appeared.

"And now I tune the Level 1 Two-Sided Mirror to the now Level 6 Copy Crack treated as Bergamot!" he said, "And when using Two-Sided Mirror as Synchro Material, it's treated as 2 tuners!" he said.

Two-Sided Mirror then turned into a single ring, with the mirror like Bergamot flying through it, losing it's colour, and gaining 6 stars.

6* + 1* = 7*

"Knight of the mirrored kingdom, take up your blade and split your enemy in half to keep the peace!" he said as a beam shot through the ring and stars. "Synchro Summon! Appear Mirror Edge - Prism Splitter!" he said, taking the card on his ace monster from his Extra Deck and placing it on his blade, where his ace then appeared slashing his crystal mounted blades around roaring for a challenge.

Mirror Edge - Prism Splitter: LIGHT, Level: 7 [Warrior/Synchro/Effect] ATK/2400 DEF/2000

"Prism Splitter… Even if it is a Synchro Monster, such an amazing monster." Apollo thought, while he hated most Synchro Monsters, there were very few that impressed him. Some being Nigel's Mirror Edge ones.

"Battle! Prism Splitter attacks Bergamot!" Nigel ordered, then took off for an Action Card that was nearby, with his ace's boosters activating, giving him a burst of speed, "His effect! When he battles a monster with ATK equal or higher than his original ATK, he can cut that monster's ATK in half!" he explained. Bergamot's ATK: 2400 = 1200.

"I activate the Trap, Draining Shield!" Clover shouted, "Since you declared an attack, I can target that monster, and negate it's attack!" she said, as she said, Prism Splitter slowed down to a halt, however Nigel was now leaping up a tree. "Still mobile as ever..." Apollo thought.

"That's not all, as I then gain LP equal to that monster's ATK!" she said smirking, 5800 + 2400 = 8200. (Clover) "Now for Bergamot's effect! When I gain LP, she gains 1000 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn!" she added. 1200/1800 + 1000/1000 = 2200/2800. (Bergamot)

"Wrong!" Nigel yelled, he leaped off a branch, and caught an Action Card that was on a vine, which he swung on, "I activate the Action Spell, Do-Over!" he yelled, the Action Card had an image of a pocket watch, with the clock hand going backwards.

"If my monster's attack is negated, it can attack again, but only that monster it attacked first!" Nigel said, Splitter's boosters than re-activated, "Also anything that happened between the negated attack and before this card was activated is cancelled!" he added, shocking Clover. 8200 = 5800 (Clover), 2200/2800 = 1200/1800. (Bergamot)

"Let the battle continue!" he said, with Splitter rushing at Bergamot, faster this time, he cleaned through her, causing an explosion, 5800 – 1200 = 4600. (Clover) "Wow! Nigel just got luckier than with a lucky horseshoe!" Doj yelled out.

"Now for Clear Lancer's Double Tuned effect! Since a monster was destroyed by battle, I can add 1 Mirror Edge card from my Graveyard to my Hand." he said, a single card was ejected from his Graveyard Slot, which he took. "I'll add Two-Sided Mirror!" he said.

"Now for Clear Lancer to attack you directly!" he said, Clear Lancer thrusted out his lancer, that shot a concentrated beam of light out the end of the weapon, that hit Clover, 4600 –1800 = 2800. (Clover)

"Now Nigel has dealt serious damage to Clover, if she hadn't gained LP from her turn, she'd be like roadkill just run over!" Doj said, confusing most of the crowd, "I place two cards face-down and end my turn..." Nigel said, the cards appearing on his field, than faded away.

Nigel's Hand x 1

Turn 3

"My turn now!" Clover said, "But first I activate the Continious Trap, Solemn Wishes!" she said, as her face-down flipped up, "Now for every card that I draw, I gain 500 LP! So now I draw!" she said, now drawing her card. 2800 + 500 = 3300. (Clover)

"I activate the Spell, Pot of Greed! Letting me draw another 2 cards!" she said doing just that, 3300 + 1000 = 4300. (Clover)

"Gosh darn it! Clover has managed to recover enough LP to put the two back in a Mexican standoff!" Doj said, "Now I Normal Summon Aromage Rosemary!" she said, a fairy like monster, dressed in blue with blue hair carrying a wooden staff with a small light at the end as well as a curled hook appeared.

Aromage Rosemary: WATER, Level: 4 [Plant/Effect] ATK/1800 DEF/700

"Now hold onto your horses folks!" she yelled, she then ran off, heading towards a plant, that had a strange curled stem, she leaped up, landed on the plant, pressing it downwards. A few moments later the plant sprang up like a coiled spring, sending her flying, while in the air, she got an Action Card.

"I set a card!" she said, setting the Action Card she just got, confusing everyone, she then grabbed another Action on her way down. "And then I set another Action Card!" she said, a second Action Cards was placed on the field.

She didn't get anymore Action Cards, just before she hit the ground, Rosemary caught her, then gently put her down, the crowd clapped at her stunt. "You want to know why I did that right?" she asked her opponent.

"I'm about to find out, aren't I?" he said, "Darn tooting you are! I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Emergency Provisions!" she said, "I send any number of Spell and Traps to the Graveyard… Which will be my two set Action Cards!" she said as her Action Cards burst into particles, confusing Nigel.

"For every card that was sent to the Graveyard, I gain 1000 LP!" she said, "Tch." Nigel gritted out, the particles from the cards then swirled around Clover. 4300 + 2000 = 6300. (Clover)

"Now she in the lead again..." Nigel thought annoyed, "Now for Rosemary's effect! Since I gained LP, I can target 1 face-up monster you control, and switch it's position!" she explained grinning.

"I'll switch Clear Lancer into Defense!" she said, with Rosemary aiming her staff at her target, "Not so fast! Prism Splitter's effect! Since you targeted a Mirror Edge monster for an effect, I can now make you target your own monster for the effect instead!" he said.

Prism Splitter then got in front on Clear Lancer, then raised one of his arm's with his reflective shield on it, where Rosemary's reflection was now seen on it. Rosemary fired a blue beam that then bounced back at her. She flinched, then knelt down, a blue aura covered her as she was now in Defense.

"That's fine, as now I use Angelica's effect from the Graveyard!" she said, as Angelica's card ejected itself from her Graveyard Slot, "Since my LP is higher than yours, and I control an Aroma monster, while this card was in the Graveyard, I can Special Summon her!" she said, she then placed the card onto her blade.

Appearing was a very small fairy like monster dressed in white, hew wings were bigger than her body, and appeared to be frame like.

Aromaseraphy Angelica: LIGHT, Level: 1 [Plant/Tuner/Effect] ATK/0 DEF/0

"A Tuner huh?" Nigel muttered to himself, he knew what she was planning, "Since she was summoned this way, if she leaves the field again, she is banished." Clover explained.

"So now I Tune the Level 1 Aromaseraphy Angelica to the Level 4 Aromage Rosemary!" she said, with a cheer, Angelica turned into a single ring with Rosemary flying from it, losing her colours, and gaining 4 stars.

4* + 1* = 5*

"Synchro Summon! Appear Level 5! Aromaseraphy Rosemary!" she yelled out, appearing from a burst of light was Rosemary, but her appearance had changed, her clothing looked like a mix of hers and Angelicas, her wings were like Angelica's and her staff has grown flowers.

Aromaseraphy Rosemary: LIGHT, Level: 5 [Plant/Synchro/Effect] ATK/2000 DEF/900

"Does she have to yell that?" Apollo thought irritated, his damaged eye flaring more, "This Rosemary's effect activates! Since my LP is higher than yours, all Plant-Type monsters I control gain 500 ATK and DEF!" she said, Aromaseraphy Rosemary's ATK/DEF: 2000/900 + 500/500 = 2500/1400.

"Almost ready!" she said, then grabbed onto the new Rosemary, who flew off, Nigel seeing this, knew what this meant, so he too grabbed onto his ace, who took off fast.

"Both going for Action Cards?" Yuzu said to herself, with Clover high in the trees, she was looking for an Action Card, "Where could one- oh!" she said as she spotted one resting on a plant, that had many spines on the outside, the inner part was red. She had her monster approach the plant cautiously, for she knew what species the plant was.

"Careful..." she whispered out, arm stretched out to reach the card, but Rosemary suddenly swerved to the side, due to a sudden wind, her hand accidently grazed a spine on the inner part of the plant, shocking her, she quickly swiped the card, and had Rosemary book them out of there.

Which was good, as a second later, the plant snapped shut, as it was a giant Venus flytrap, this shocked most of the crowd.

"Look right there folks! Clover has just saved herself from the jaws of that hungry hungry Flytrap!" Doj yelled, "Now let's see what Nigel is up to before she can use her Action Card!" he added, as the camera's panned over to Nigel's location.

With Nigel, he had spotted an Action card... Resting on top of a giant lily pad in the middle of a swamp, other lily pads of very size in it as well.

"Quick of my feet! Quick of my feet!" he repeated in his head, "Launch me Splitter!" he ordered, his ace nodded, and let his master rest in his hand, he then raised his arm with Nigel in it, behind him, then threw Nigel, basically skimming him across the swampy water, as he skimmed he reached an arm out and grabbed the Action Card, then landed on the other side of the swamp, his monster's floating over to him.

"Damn it! Not good for this..." he said looking at the Action Card, it couldn't help him with this, "Where were we?" Clover said from above, "Did you get a good one? Cause I did! I now activate the Action Spell, High Dive!" she yelled, using her Action Card.

"I target 1 monster and it gains 1000 ATK until the end of the turn!" she explained, "My target will be Rosemary!" she said as her monster gently floated down, letting her get down, 2500 + 1000 = 3500. (Rosemary)

"Battle! Rosemary attack Clear Lancer!" she ordered, with Rosemary waving her staff about, causing a breeze to pick up, carrying petals with it, she then launched them at Clear Lancer, who cried in pain, as he was launched backwards and destroyed. 3800 – 1700 = 2100. (Nigel)

"I activate the Trap, Tuner Anchor!" Nigel yelled out over the explosion washing over him, one of his face-downs flipped up, the image had two green rings, which were used in Synchro Summoning. Within the rings were two green lines, that appeared to be connected to a Synchro Monster, that looked to be damaged.

"Since a Synchro Monster was destroyed, I can Special Summon a Tuner monster from the my Graveyard, as well as the destroyed monster!" he said. "So now I Summon Shard Spawner and Clear Lancer!" he said as the two monster appeared.

"But if one of them is destroyed, the other is destroyed." he added, two chains from the summoned monsters shot out, and attached themselves to the other.

"Well at least I furthered the LP difference..." Clover said smirking, "I now end my turn!" she said, "With it ending, High Dive's effect ends." she added. 3500 = 2500. (Rosemary)

Clover's Hand x 0

Turn 4

"How can he come back from this I wonder?" Apollo said to himself, "Draw!" Nigel said drawing his card, "I use Shard Spawner's effect!" he said, 1700 – 100 = 1600. (Nigel) "So now I Summon a Level 1 Shard Token!" he said as the Token appeared.

"Then I Normal Summon Two-Sided Mirror!" he said as the Tuner monster appeared again, "First I Tune the Level 1 Two-Sided Mirror to the Level 4 Clear Lancer!" he yelled out with Two-Sided turning into a single ring, Clear Lancer flying through them, losing his colours and gaining 4 stars.

4* + 1* = 5*

"Seer of the mirrored world, gather the souls of the broken and heal them!" he said, as the beam shout through the rings and stars. "Synchro Summon! Level 5 Mirror Edge - Reflect Seer!" he yelled out.

Now appearing on the field was a new Mirror Edge monster, the top part of it was like that of the other Mirror Edge Synchro Monsters, but thinner, the bottom part was like a dress cloak, but it was angular and the front part was missing, so you still see it's legs, the crystal ball joints and lining over its body was a dark green. Carried in one hand was a staff, with a jagged crystal orb, framed around it was uncut ring.

Mirror Edge - Reflect Seer: LIGHT, Level: 5 [Spellcaster/Synchro/Effect] ATK/2000 DEF/1600

"Due to Tuner Anchor's effect, if the monsters are used as Synchro Material, they are banished." he said,

"Now I activate Double Reflection's effect on Shard Spawner, then Tune it with the Level 1 Shard Token!" he said, with Shard Spawner turning into two rings, with the Token flying through them, losing it's colours and gaining a single star.

2* + 1* = 3*

"Mirrored Knave that wields the power of light, gather your follow knaves and strike!" he said, a beam shot through the rings and star, "Synchro Summon! Appear! Mirror Edge Laser Knave!" he said with drone like monster appeared.

Mirror Edge - Laser Knave: LIGHT, Level: 3 [Warrior/Synchro/Effect] ATK/1400 DEF/1200

"Knave's Doubled Tuned effect! I can Special Summon up to two other Laser Knaves from my Extra Deck, and they're treated as being Synchro Summoned!" he said, taking the 1 Synchro cards from his Extra Deck, and placing them on his blade, a second copy of Laser Knave appeared on the field in Attack.

"Then Seer's effect! Once per turn, I can Special Summon a monster from our Graveyards, but it leaves the field at the end of the turn!" he said, "I Summon Aromage Rosemary!" he said, as Rosemary appear on his side of the field, but she was a bit nervous, being surrounded by all of Nigel's monsters, and that she was being used against her master.

"Seer also gains the summoned monster's effect until the end of the turn." he added.

"Now I activate the Continious Trap, Mirror Edge - Soul's Reflection!" he said, his second face-down flipped up, the image it had was that of a monster facing Prism Splitter, but a mirror was dividing them, and Splitter was mirroring the other monster's movements.

"This card can be activated while your control a Special Summoned monster." he said, "While this card is face-up, Mirror Edge monsters I control gain your monster's names and Types!" he explained.

All of a sudden Nigel's Mirror Edge monster glowed yellow, that then glowed to be the same Rosemary's aura. "I see… he did that because now a days some monsters require certain monsters to use their effects." Apollo thought.

"I activate my Knave's effect! I can deal you 400 damage per one!" he said, the Laser Knave's aimed their arms at Clover, and fired purple beams at her, but she avoided them at the last second, but the explosion they caused washed over her. 6300 – 800 = 5500. (Clover)

"Battle! Splitter attacks Rosemary!" he said, with Splitter taking off towards Rosemary, with Clover rushing for an Action Card that was near her.

"Once again Splitter's effect cut your Rosemary's ATK in half!" he said, 2500 = 1250. (Rosemary) With Clover, she managed to get the Action Card, but it was too late to Rosemary as she was slashed across the chest by Splitter's sword. 5500 – 1150 = 4350. (Clover)

"Seer now attacks you directly!" he said, with Seer calmly walking over to Clover, as she was close by and tapped her with his staff. 4350 – 2000 = 2350 (Clover)

"Now Rosemary attacks your directly as well!" he said, with Rosemary relunctantly doing with Seer did before. 2350 – 1800 = 550 (Clover) "I activate the Action Spell, Damage Draw!" Clover said.

"Since I took over 2000 damage this turn, I can draw 2 cards!" she said drawing that many. "Since I drew 2 cards, Solemn Wishes gives me 1000 LP..." she said, 550 + 1000 = 1550. (Clover) "She's still won't survive this turn..." Yuzu calculated to herself.

"Now for both Laser Knave's to attack you!" he said, the two identical monster charged up identical attacks at her. She once again rushed off, finding an Action card on the ground, she grabbed. "I activate the Action Spell, Roadblock! I can only activate this if I'm attacked directly! Battle damage for that attack becomes 0!" the beams fired, hit her, one didn't do a thing, the second one did though. 1550 - 1400 = 150 (Clover)

"I place a card face-down and end my turn!" Nigel said, a single card appeared then faded. "With it ending Rosemary leaves the field." he said, a sadden Rosemary disappeared into a dark portal.

Nigel's Hand x 2 (one is an Action Card)

Turn 5

"This is bad! The tides have swapped around, during Clover's last turn, she had 6300 LP, and managed to deal some damage to Nigel, but Nigel just got rid of alomost of that during his turn! Can Clover make a recovery?" Doj said.

"Unlikely..." Apollo muttered, this time however Yuzu heard him, she turned to meet him and was shocked to see the guy she bumped into before. "What are you looking at?" he growled out, "N-Nothing!" she stuttered out turning forward again.

"I draw!" Clover yelled out, drawing her card. 150 + 500 = 650. (Clover) "I place two cards face-down as well as set a monster..." she said solemnly as the cards appeared, a spiky monster on the set monster. She knew she couldn't win, not with the cards she had, and especially against Nigel's army of monsters.

Clover's Hand x 0

Turn 6

"That was pathetic..." Apollo muttered, Yuzu heard that, but didn't turn around, he scared her with his appearance alone.

"Draw..." Nigel said, slowly drawing his card, "And now I both Laser Knave's effect. Dealing you 400 damage each!" he said slowly, the two Knave fired a slow beam at Clover, who didn't dodge the beams at all. 650 – 800 = 0. (Clover)

Nigel: WINS

Clover: LOSE

"And there you have it folks, the winner of this match is Nigel Denisu!" Doj said sadly, he was hoping Clover could turn the Duel around, sadly not. With the Duel over, the ARC System deactivated, making the forest vanish.

"That was a good duel there partner!" Clover said walking over to Nigel, "..." he said nothing, but nodded at her, which she knew meant that he enjoyed it, but she didn't know not that much. He then walked off, heading to the corridor where the room he lefted his backpack in…

With Apollo and the rest of the crowd, they were standing up to get out of the building… except Apollo had something in mind…

---

A few minutes later…

With Nigel, he had just done going through his backpack, making sure everything was still in there, he was very cautious about his personal belongings, with that done, having seen that everything is still in it, he slung the bag over his back, and made his way out of the room.

"One Duel closer to qualifying, that Duel was a bit lack luster for me though..." he thought to himself. He looked to his left, hoping to see Yuzu make her way over to him, that way he could find out what she learned from his Duel.

"I must say, that was interesting to watch." a voice spoke out, one that Nigel knew, making him stiffen up, he quickly turned and saw someone, someone he didn't want to encounter again yet.

"Apollo..." he muttered, fear slightly overriding his silent habit. "Ah! Have I rendered the silent Denisu into speaking?" Apollo mocked, smirking at Nigel. He then stood up straight, having been leaning before.

"I meant what I said though, it was impressive." he said getting closer to Nigel, who slightly sweated, a few yards away, Yuzu was approaching Nigel, but stopped when she saw he wasn't alone.

"It's the guy from before, do they know one another?" she asked herself, "But I notice something during that Duel..." Apollo said, making a small glare.

"You could have easily beaten her on your first turn, but you didn't, why is that?" he asked, this time Nigel glared back, "I decide how I Duel, not you Collector!" Nigel spat out. "Now now, I thought we were on first name bases here..." he said back.

"Were you throwing your punches like that during our Duel last year?" he asked menacingly, if there was one thing he hated, was that if someone was holding back on him. "I could ask you the same thing..." Nigel said, referring to what they both knew.

"That's my choice, like you just said." Apollo said, just then he spotted Yuzu, who froze in her tracks, "We'll discuss this later..." he said, he then passed Nigel, not before stopping. "But just so you know, if we do ever cross paths in a Duel again..." he said.

"I'll force you to use everything against me..." he muttered, then walked off, passing a scared Yuzu, the second he turned the corner, she relaxed, only slightly.

"Man that guy is scary." she said sighing, she turned to Nigel, who was stilled unnerved about the encounter, but he too, slowly relaxed. "What was that about? Do you know each other?" she asked concerned.

"Nothing to concern yourself with..." he said, "But thanks for the concern though..." he said smiling, which made her smile. "Want to know what I learned?" she asked, which he nodded in silence.

The two then walked out the way Apollo went… albeit at a slower pace, not wanting to run into the guy again, "First I of course learned that Synchro Summoning require a Tuner monster and non Tuner monsters..." she said, which he nodded at.

"Second is that some monster may require certain monster types, right?" she asked, again he nodded. "And third is that a Synchro Monster can be used to Synchro Summon a higher Level monster." she said.

"Correct, that is called Synchro Climbing, using a Synchro Monster to get a better powerful Synchro Monster." he explained what that method was called, "I also notice that unlike Fusion, you must have the monsters on the field in order to Synchro Summon." she said.

He nodded at that, with nothing left to say on her side, she went to congratulate him for his victory, the two had made it outside.

"Well I should go and meet Matthew for his Duel, will you be okay?" she asked, referring to what happened a few minutes ago. He nodded and shooed her away, she nodded and took off to her next destination, the Skating Rink.

As she left, Nigel turned the other way, where he thought he saw Apollo, a person walked by the image of Apollo, and it vanished. "Just you wait Apollo, when I get my Pendulum cards, your view on how the Duel will go, will be different..." he thought determined, clenching a fist as he did…

---

Maiami City's Skating Rink, (13:20 PM)

Having just arrived, Yuzu arrived outside of the building that housed the Skating Rink, but she saw no Matthew to greet her. Confused, she waited for another 5 minutes, no sign of him coming out of the building.

"Maybe he's waiting for me to come in?" she said to herself, just then someone approached her from behind, "Hey Yuzu!" the voice said touching her shoulder, that instant, she freaked out-

*WHACK* "Owww! What was that for?!" Matthew cried out, clutching his head, having been hit by Yuzu's fan. "Oh Matthew! I-I-I'm so sorry!" she stuttered out, then bowed, he then glared at her, and grabbed her fan out of her hand.

"Seriously Yuzu where do you keep this bloody thing?!" he asked her, she instantly blushed, and snatched the fan back. "N-None of your business!" she spat back. Seeing no room for more arguing, Matthew dropped the subject.

"How did you get here? I though you were in the building." she asked, "I just got here, there was a diversion on my way here, so I took a different route." he explained. She nodded now understanding, then put her fan away… discreetly mind you.

"How long were you here for?" he asked, the two now walking into the building, "About 5 minutes ago." she answered. "Well how did my brothers do?" he asked, "Great! They won their Duels, and I learned something about each method." she said.

He smirked at this, "That's good, both them winning and you learning, now let's get onto Xyz-" he said, but stopped when he walked into the arena area… "Is it Ice Skating Season?" he asked slowing.

In front of them was a large ice skating rink, the barrier slightly higher than normal rinks. There were a few people skating across the rink, but one stood out the most to the two.

Skating gracefully across the ice on her ice blue ice skates, dressed in white training trousers and a red snow jacket, was a young woman of 17, her hair a pale blonde which was done in a small bun, with crystal blue eyes, she jumped and spinned then landed like it never stopped her.

"I know her! She's that young professional figure skater, Adeena Petrov!" Yuzu said, having read an article once about her, however next to her, Matthew was slightly shaking.

"Great… Nico told me something about skating for my match, but I figured he meant roller skating, not ice skating!" Matthew muttered, Yuzu turned to him. "Is that a problem?" she asked, "Roller Skating? No, I'm fine with that… But Ice Skating… I'm okay-ish, but I'm likely to fall frequently." he explained. She made an 'O' expression.

Just then Adeena skated by, and came to a halt by then, "Hello, are your Matthew Denisu?" she asked with a Russian accent. "Yes, are you my opponent?" he asked back.

"Yes! My name is Adeena Petrov!" she introduced herself properly, the three bowed to each other, just then a woman, which was most likely Adeena's mother walking up to them along with her husband, who wore a thick fur coat, "Greetings! My name is Bethany Petrov, and this is my husband, Artur Petrov." Bethany said, her husband grunted.

"So are you ready to lose to my daughter?" Bethany said grinning, making Matthew grin back, "We'll see who loses, don't jump the gun yet." he said.

Just then another person walked up to them, a man, dress like an employee for the building, "Hi, I'll be the host for this match today, are you two ready?" he asked.

"Yes, but does the match have to be on ice?" Matthew asked concerned, "Sorry but it is Ice Skating Season… There's nothing I can do about it sir." the employee said.

Matthew sighed in defeat "May as well do this…" he said defeated, he turned to Yuzu, "Make sure you can see properly" he said, she nodded and he went to get ready. "Good luck!" she yelled at him, "Hmph! He'll need it, our daughter can compete with the likes of LDS" Artur gloated…

5 minutes later, the two opponents were both on the ice, with the crowd and other people that were skating now watching from the bleachers. Adeena had lost her thick snow coat and trousers, and was wearing a traditional leotard, which was crimson, and sparkling for the sport she practiced, and she had her Duel Disk armed, which was ice white, the blade being purple.

Matthew had taken his jacket off, and had knee pads and elbow pads, safety measures for the building, he also had a pair of orange ice skates on, like Adeena, his Duel Disk was armed and ready.

"Hi everyone! Today we have a match today!" the employee from before said over the com system, "Our visitor for today is known for coming 2nd in last year's Maiami Arc Championship Senior Division! Here's Matthew Denisu!" they said, with the crowd clapping for Matthew.

"And the regular contender of this rink, she has mastered both roller skating and Ice Figure Skating, and is a 2 time champion! Adeena Petrov!" they said, with Adeena doing a quick spin, the crowd clapping for her also.

With Yuzu, she was focused on Matthew, ready to learn what she needed to Xyz Summon correctly, she didn't want to screw anything up when she actually practiced it.

"Now that they been introduced, let's begin! I activate the Action Field, Winter Wonderland!" the employee said, the Arc System activated, and not much changed for the two Duelist, expect now there were a few ice ramps here and there, and loop-de-loop, and a couple of ice figures.

"Action..." the crowd said, an electronic bill board telling them to say as a count down began, the second it hit 0, the Action Cards in the bubble burst, scattering the cards about the field.

"DUEL!" the two Duelist shouted, drawing 5 cards each.

Matthew's LP: 4000

Adeena's LP: 4000

Turn 1

"I'll go first!" Matthew said, "First I activate the Continious Spell, Ore Mech Excavator!" he said, playing the card into his Duel Disk… This action however twisted him from facing Adeena. "Hold on..." he said, twisting his waist the other way to face her properly.

"As I said, I activated Excavator..." he said again, just then a crack appeared in the floor appeared, and shooting out of it was a machine that was attached to a conveyor bel that lead down the crack. "Now once per turn, I can return a card in my Hand to my Deck and shuffle it!" he said, returning a card to his Deck, the deck then shuffled itself.

"Then I can draw a card!" he said doing just that, "But if that card is an Ore Mech monster, I can Special Summon it." he said then looked at the card he drew.

"I drew Ore Mech - Gold Nugget!" he said, placing the card onto his blade, just then the conveyor belt activated, bring up a single chuck of gold, it went through the machine, and at the other end Gold Nugget appeared from it.

Ore Mech - Gold Nugget: EARTH, Level: 3 [Rock/Effect] ATK/1200 DEF/1000

"Then I activate the effect of Ore Mech - Copper Crusher from my Hand!" he said revealing the card, "When an Ore Mech monster or more are Special Summoned, I can target any of them, and Special Summon this card!" he said, he then placed it on the blade.

Appearing near Gold Nugget, a slightly bulkier machine like monster, in appearance it was like that of Iron Driller, but the colouring was a copper brown, the arms were two median sized hydraulic presses, with small grey finger digits at the end. On one side of it was an indent with Cu in it. It's camera lens eyes were red.

Ore Mech - Copper Crusher: EARTH, Level: 5 [Rock/Effect] ATK/1500 DEF/2100

"If Copper Crusher is Summoned this way, it's Level becomes the target's original Level." he explained, Copper Crusher's Level: 5 = 3. "Then I activate Gold Nugget's effect!" he said as Gold Nugget shined.

"I return a card in my Hand to my Deck again..." he said, returning another card to his Deck, again it shuffled. "This then let's me Special Summon Ore Mech monsters with Levels less or equal to Gold Nugget's current Level." he explained as three card were ejected from his Deck, having selected his choices.

"I Summon three Level 1 Ore Mech Coal Bits!" he said placing the cards onto his blade, with 3 small chunks of coal with appendages appearing, flapping their tiny limbs to stay airborne.

Ore Mech - Coal Bit: EARTH, Level: 1 [Rock/Effect] ATK/100 DEF/100 x3

"Five monsters!" Adeena cried out in shock, "I activate the first Coal Bit's effect!" Matthew said, just then all his Mech monsters glowed an eerie black. "When this card is summoned through an effect, I can draw a card for every 2 Mech monsters on the field! There are 5 so I draw 2 cards!" he said drawing that many.

"Now I activate two of my Coal Bit's effect!" he said, the two in questioned, glowed orange in unison, "I can target the other, and they each increase their Level by their target's original Level!" he said. Coal Bit 2 & 3's Level: 1 + 1 = 2.

Matthew then looked over to Yuzu, as he could see outwards, she nodded, signalling that she was watching, "Using the now Level 2 Ore Mech Coal Bits, I build the Overlay Network!" he yelled out, the two Coal Bits turned into orange energy, that then shot into the air then back down, where the galaxy portal was waiting, they flew into it, and a light burst out of it.

"Basher of bronze, smash everything that comes your way!" he said, as the monster moved around in the thunder storm. "Xyz Summon! Rank 2 Alloy Mech - Bronze Basher!" he said taking the card from this Extra Deck and placing it on the blade over its material.

Appearing on the field was a mechanical monster that was roughly the same size as Matthew, just taller than him, it's armour was made out of bronze, like all the Xyz Mech monsters, it had the same chest turbine area, but it was more compact, the glow on this one was purple. It head was curved, and the visor was split horizontal in two, these were black. The armour on its shoulders and knees was flat with the dark grey metal boarder encasing the bronze parts. On it's back were two square exhaust pipes that had a glow coming from them. And in each hand was a bronze war hammer. It gave a war cry as it appeared with two orange Overlay Units orbiting it.

Alloy Mech - Bronze Basher: EARTH, Rank: 2, [Machine/Xyz/Effect] ATK/1400 DEF/1700, OLUs: 2

"It's effect! It gains 100 ATK for every Mech on the field." he said, Bronze Basher's ATK: 1400 + 400 = 1800. "Then I Normal Summon Ore Mech - Nickel Crane!" he said. A mechanical monster with the lower half of it being a like that of digger tank tracks appeared, the rims of the tracks were indented with Ni. The upper half was like Iron Driller, but smaller and thinner. On the lower part that was the tracks at the back was a small crane digger. It was a silvery white colour, it's eye lens was orange.

Ore Mech - Nickel Crane: EARTH, Level: 3 [Rock/Effect] ATK/700 DEF/1000

"As it was summoned, Basher's ATK increased by 100!" he said, 1800 + 100 = 1900. (Bronze Basher) "Crane's effect! When Summoned, I can add 1 Mech card from my Deck to my Hand!" he said as a card ejected itself from his Deck, which he took.

"Then using the now Level 3 Copper Crusher and Gold Nugget, I build the Overlay Network!" he said, the two monsters doing the same actions as the Coal Bits before.

"Mech of gold, rush to your brethren aid and fend of the enemy!" he said, his Extra Deck compartment opening. "Xyz Summon! Rank 3 Metal Mech - Gold Rush!" he said, once again taking the Xyz card from his Extra Deck and placing it over it's material.

Now appearing on the field was a golden mech, about 2 feet taller than Bronze Basher, it's armour was sleek and aerodynamic, like Bronze Basher, it had the regular chest engine, this one was crimson. It's head was elongated, the face plate was grey, and on it's back were four jet engine thrusters, each angled diagonally from one another. On it's arms and legs were folded up wing planes. It knuckles were spiked, making them knuckle dusters. It threw a couple of punches as it appeared on Matthew's right.

Metal Mech - Gold Rush: EARTH, Rank: 3, [Machine/Xyz/Effect] ATK/2000 DEF/1300, OLUs 2

Since two more Mechs lefted the field, but another took its place, Bronze Basher lost ATK, 1900 – 100 = 1800. (Bronze Basher) "Then I activate the effects of Nickel Crane and the first Coal Bit!" he said, the first Coal Bit and Nickel crane glowed orange.

"Now they gain the other's Level for the rest of the turn." he said, Nickel Crane's Level: 3 + 1 = 4, Coal Bit 1's Level: 1 + 3 = 4.

"A third Xyz Summon!?" Adeena gasped out, "Now using the Level 4 Nickel Crane and Coal Bit, I once again build the Overlay Network!" he yelled out, with his monsters doing the same actions as before.

"Mechanical knight of hardened steel..." he said as the monster moved around the thunderstorm, "Turn your enemies strength against them..." he said as the monster grabbed it's weapon, "And tear them to pieces!" he yelled, as lines of energy erupted over the monster.

"Xyz Summon! Metal Mech - Steel Slasher!" he yelled, taking his ace's card from his Extra Deck, and slamming it onto his blade over it's material, and appearing in a flash was Matthew's ace, ready to fight.

Metal Mech - Steel Slasher: EARTH, Rank: 4, [Machine/Xyz/Effect] ATK/2400 DEF/2000, OLUs: 2

"Due to Nickel and Coal Bit becoming Steel Slasher, Basher loses 100 ATK." he said, 1800 – 100 = 1700.

"I-I-Incredible! Not only did Matthew bring out 5 monsters so fast, but he also brought out 3 Xyz Monsters with them!" the employee shouted out, the audience clapped for Matthew.

Meanwhile Yuzu had watched the entire thing closely, "So that's it, 2 or more monsters with the same Level equal to the Rank of the Xyz Monster you want to Xyz Summon..." she thought, taking mental notes. "And that the material for the Summons are attached as Xyz Material, or Overlay Units." she added.

"I end my turn with two face-downs!" he said as two cards appeared on his field, which then faded away.

Matthew's Hand x 1

Turn 2

"That was impressive..." Artur said, "But our Adeena will out shine him." he said, "My turn! Draw!" Adeena yelled with a twirl, drawing her card as she did.

"I activate the effect of Nekroz of Clausola from my Hand!" she said, "I can discard this card, and add a Nekroz Spell or Trap from my Deck to my Hand!" she said, sending the activated card to her Graveyard, and adding a card to her hand.

"Then I activate the Ritual Spell, Nekroz Cycle!" she said, at this Yuzu was intrigued, "Ritual? That's pretty rare these days..." she thought "I tribute monsters in my Hand and Field to Ritual Summon a Nekroz Ritual Monster whose Level equal the total Level of the tributed monsters!" she said. Just then a diamond shaped crystal appeared.

"I tribute the Level 4 Ariel, Priestess of the Nekroz and Level 1 Djinn Disserere of Rituals from my Hand!" she said sending the two monster to her Graveyard, the monsters appeared on her field as spectres, that were then absorbed into the crystal, which glowed.

"Ritual Summon! Level 5 Nekroz of Catastor!" she yelled, placing the Ritual monster onto her blade, appearing from the crystal in a beam of light was the monster. It was a huge blue dragon like monster, it stood on two legs, and on one of its arms was mechanical glove with gold claws.

Nekros of Catastor: WATER, Level: 5 [Dragon/Ritual/Effect] ATK/2200 DEF/1200

"Ariel's effect! When tributed by a card effect, I can add a Nekroz monster from my Deck to my Hand!" she said doing just that.

"Then I Normal Summon Dance Princess of the Nekros!" she said, a young girl with flowing red hair and wearing an exotic dress appeared carrying a golden staff.

Dance Princess of the Nekroz: WATER, Level: 4 [Spellcaster/Effect] ATK/1600 DEF/800

"Before you go any further, I activate the Continious Trap, Mech's Magnetic Ore Field!" Matthew said, "Now I decide which monsters of yours in Attack must battle mine, and you cannot not skip your battle phase!" he said.

"Alright, but first, I'm about to show of some moves!" she said, she then skated off, clearly going for an Action Card, seeing this Matthew also took off… although at a slower pace. Adeena however was clearly going at speeds like a professional, which she was, she spotted an Action Card on an ice ramp.

She headed towards it, went up the ramp, caught the card, and with such grace, grabbed the ledge of the ramp, and did a 2 second handstand, she then went down the ramp with the crowd clapping at the stunt…

With Matthew he wasn't faring any better, he was just lucky he hadn't fallen over yet, "Excuse me!" Adeena shouted, skating right past him, he got shocked at this, and nearly lost his balance.

"Let's continue! I activate the Action Spell, Icicle Armor!" she said, the card appear on the field, the image was that of a pale blue suit of armour, "I target 1 monster I control, and it cannot be destroyed for the rest of the turn." she said.

A suit of ice appeared on the field, "I target Catastor!" she said, the suit of armour then went over to Catastor, how then raised it's arms letting the armour slip on, "Also if the target is a WATER monster, it gains 1000 ATK until the end of the turn. Catastor's ATK: 2200 + 1000 = 3200.

"Battle!" she yelled out, then took off again, "Alright then, Dance attacks Bronze Basher!" Matthew said, Dance Princess then skated like her master across the ice, heading for Basher.

"Catastor's effect! When a Nekroz monster battles a Special Summoned monster from the Extra Deck, that monster is immediately destroyed!" she said, still skating around.

Catastor then gathered ice in it's gloved hand, it then tossed this ball chunk of ice at Bronze Basher, "Gold Rush's effect! Should a Mech monster be destroyed by battle or a monster's effect, by using an Overlay Unit..." Matthew said as Gold Rush absorbed one of his units, which was Copper Crusher into his chest, which glowed stronger. Gold Rush's OLUs: 2 – 1 = 1. "Excavator's effect! When an Ore Mech monster, as an Overlay Unit is detached from a Mech Xyz Monster, I can draw a card." he drew a card.

"Then Gold Rush's effect, I can negate the effect!" he said, just then Gold Rush's thrusters turned on, he charged at the hurled ice, and punched the ball into powdered snow. "Then after this, I can target the battling monster or the monster that activated the now negated effect, destroy it, then banish it!" he yelled out.

Gold Rush while in mid-air, slowly twisted itself to face Catastor, his thrusters turned on again, releasing a burst of energy that sent Gold Rush heading to the reptilian monster. "Due to Icicle Armour's effect, Catastor is not destroyed!" Adeena shouted back.

The two monster's fist meet in a clash, causing an explosion of wind to flow around them, this wind however affected Matthew, "Whoa! Whoa WHOA!" he yelled as he started to fall, "Oof!" he said sliding across the ice on the floor.

Just then as he looked up, he saw an Action Card that he was heading to, he swiped out for it, catching it between his fingers. Just then Dance had made it over to Basher, who then started to spin like a spinning top, his weapons extended out, Dance slammed into this, cried in pain and was destroyed in a burst of particles. Adeena's LP: 4000 – 100 = 3900.

"Now Catastor attacks Steel Slasher!" Matthew ordered, with the reptilian monster charging at his ace, "You know since a Nekroz is attacking a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, that monster is destroyed?" Adeena mockingly said. Catastor charged up another chunk of ice.

"That's why I activate the Action Spell, Mirror Barrier!" Matthew said, using his Action Card, "Now 1 monster on the field cannot be destroyed by card effects." he explained.

A mirror barrier surrounded Steel Slasher, as Catastor tossed his chunk of ice at Slasher, the barrier stopped it.

"The battle continues!" he said, "At this moment, I activate Steel Slasher's effect! When he battles a monster with higher ATK, the battling monster's ATKs are switched!" he explained, shocking her. 3200 = 2400. (Catastor) Steel Slasher's ATK: 2400 = 3200.

Steel Slasher then raised his sword, and brought it down with a roar, Catastor caught the blade, seeing that it couldn't be destroyed this turn. The force from this hit Adeena. 3900 – 800 = 3100. (Adeena)

"And with Catastor finishing his attack, I place 1 card face-down and end my turn!" Adeena said, a card appeared on her field then faded away. "With it ending, Icicle Armour's effect ends..." she said, "Along with Steel Slasher's effect." Matthew added. 2400 = 2200 (Catastor), 3200 = 2400. (Steel Slasher)

Adeena's Hand x 1

Turn 3

"My turn! Draw!" Matthew said drawing his card, "I activate Bronze Basher's effect by using an Overlay Unit..." he said as Bronze absorbed a unit. Bronze Basher's OLU's: 2 – 1 = 1.

"Then I target 1 Mech monster I control, that monster is unaffected by your effects until the end of the next turn." he explained. "Then Excavator's effect!" he said, and drew his card due to Excavator.

"So that's how his deck works..." Yuzu thought to herself, "First he uses his Ore Mech monsters to swarm the field to get material, then use their shared effect to get what Xyz Monster he wants with ease..." she thought looking at his monsters.

"Then there are two other types of Mech Xyz monsters. Alloy Mech, which focus on defence and support, while the Metal Mechs are about attacking and destruction." she added in her hand.

"Battle! Gold Rush can attack you directly!" Matthew ordered and explained, shocking Adeena, who quickly turned on her skates and rushed off for an Action Card. The folded wing flaps on Gold Rush extended, becoming wings, the golden mech then charged his thrusters, and took off after her, zooming past Catastor as he did.

"The only down side to this is that Gold Rush's ATK is halved during damage calculation." he added, Gold Rush's ATK: 2000 = 1000.

Just as Adeena grabbed an Action Card, Gold Rush tackled her from the side, being made of metal, even if it was a solid hologram, still hurt like hell! 3100 – 1000 = 2100. (Adeena)

"Then Steel Slasher attacks Catastor! Full Steel Swing!" he yelled out, with these words, his ace raised his shovel like sword above his arms, his shoulder pads igniting with energy, sending the monster forward.

"Since Steel Slasher is unaffected, Catastor's effect is pointless!" he added, as Catastor tried to destroy Steel Slasher with a boulder of ice, but it vaporised the second it touched the charging monster.

"I activate the Action Spell, Miracle!" Adeena yelled getting up from the ice, "Not only does Catastor survive the battle, but battle damage is halved!" she said, Slasher's sword just grazed Catastor's stomach, who had just jumped back. The force from the attack however still hit Adeena, but it was weak. 2100 – 100 = 2000. (Adeena)

"Now that the battle phase is over, I now Activate the Spell, Rank Up Magic - Uniting Force!" he said, a card appeared on his field, showing two Xyz Monsters, bracing their arms together, as a bright light above appeared.

"I target 1 Xyz Monster, which will be Gold Rush..." he said as Gold Rush glowed, "Then I target a second Xyz Monster, this time Steel Slasher!" he said, this time Steel Slasher glowed, with Gold Rush's getting stronger.

"Now using Gold Rush, I can rebuild the Overlay Network, and Xyz Summon a Xyz Monster whose Rank is the combined Rank of the Xyz Monsters I targeted!" he said.

Gold Rush, glowed fully orange, then shot into the air, losing it's form, and soaring into the thunderstorm above, which then erupted with lightning.

"Mech of many metals, bombard the earth with red hot ingots!" he said, as the new monster began to take form. "Go! Rank Up Xyz Evolution!" he yelled, grabbing the card from his Extra Deck, and slamming it onto his blade, over Gold Rush, "Appear Rank 7! Alloy Mech - Ingot Launcher!" he yelled.

An orange beam with energy laced around it, crashes down to the ground, after the crash, the energy started to form the monster again. The energy then dispersed, revealing the monster.

It was mechanical and tall, most of it's armour was crimson red, some was brass, it's legs structure was like that of a dragons But attached to the side of the legs were two long rectangular packs. like the other Mech Xyz Monster, it had the same chest turbine as them, but this one at the back had 4 curved panels, that kept in most of the heat. For arms they were like barrel cannons, at what the shoulders would be was barrel shaped, a top of this was a slot, then the barrel of the cannon was rectangular, and on the top and bottom of the end were axe blade. It's head was rectangular and at an angle for the lens to be seen, it was blue. It was Summoned in Defense.

Alloy Mech - Ingot Launcher: EARTH, Rank: 7 [Machine/Xyz/Effect] ATK/2200 DEF/2900, OLUs: 2

"Because Ingot Launcher was Xyz Summoned using a Mech Xyz Monster, I can deal you damage equal to half that monster's ATK!" he said. Ingot Launcher aimed it cannons at Adeena, who was shocked at this revelation.

The cannons fired, hitting her dead on, 2000 – 1000 = 1000. (Adeena) "I end my turn with a face-down!" he said, a card appeared on his field than faded away. "Let see what you can do." he said.

Matthew's Hand x 4

Turn 4

"This is bad! Adeena has taken serious damage, while Matthew's LP has been lefted untouched, can she make a recovery!?" the announcer employee yelled. Meanwhile her parents, mainly her father looked on with a cold expression.

"I draw!" Adeena yelled, drawing her card, "I activate the Set Spell, Nekroz Mirror!" she said, just then a mirror with a unique frame appeared behind her. "I can tribute monsters from my Hand, Field or banish from my Graveyard to Ritual Summon a Nekroz Ritual Monster from my Hand whose Level equals the combined Levels of the tributed monsters!" she said.

"I tribute the Level 5 Catastor from my Field and banish the Level 4 Dance Princess from my Graveyard!" she said, a ghost of Dance Princess appeared on the field, before it and Catastor were absorbed into the mirror, which began to distort.

"Ritual Summon! Level 9 Nekroz of Trishula!" she shouted out, appearing from a flurry of was a man dressed in ice armour, with ice dragon wing and carrying a jagged ice sword.

Nekroz of Trishula: WATER, Level: 9 [Warrior/Ritual/Effect] ATK/2700 DEF/2000

The moment the monster was summoned, Artur smirked, "Trishula's effect! When Ritual Summoned I can banish exactly 3 cards! One from your Hand, the field and Graveyard!" she said, this actually shocked Matthew to some extent.

"The card in your Hand is random though..." she explained smirked, a single card in Matthew's hand glowed ice blue, meaning that was the selected card, he banished it through his Graveyard Slot.

"Then from your field I banish Magnetic Ore Field!" she said as the trap card from banished, "Then I banish Nickel Crane from your Graveyard!" she said, his Duel Disk then told him the card from banished.

"Now I activate the effect of Nekroz of Decisive Armor from my Hand!" she said, revealing the card, "I send this card to the Graveyard..." she said doing just that, "Then I target 1 Nekroz monster I control it gains 1000 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn!" she said.

"My target is of course Trishula!" she said, Trishula's ATK & DEF: 2700/2000 + 1000/1000 = 3700/3000.

"Battle! Trishula now attacks your Bronze Basher!" she ordered, with Trishula taking off for the Bronze Mech, Adeena then took off again, Matthew seeing this took off for an Action Card, albeit, slower than Adeena.

As Trishula got closer to Bronze Basher, Matthew went to the loop-de-loop, he carefully sped up, then crouched, doing this allowed him to go up the loop-de-loop, while upside down, he saw an Action Card which he quickly snagged, as he made it to the other side of the loop, the crowd clapped.

However, Adeena also grabbed an Action Card, "I activate the Action Spell, Evasion!" Matthew said, using his Action Card, "Now your attack is negated!" he said.

"Ah Ah Ah! I activate my Action Spell, Freeze Out!" she said, using her Action Card, "This card negates your card's effect!" she said, Matthew's Duel Disk told him that his Action Card was negated.

As that happened, Trishula ripped Basher into pieces, an explosion occurred as the mech was destroyed. Matthew's LP: 4000 – 2000 = 2000.

"I activate the Trap, Xyz Rebor- *ERROR!* What?" Matthew said shocked, his Duel Disk telling him an error had occurred.

"Did I not mention that if the negated card was an Action Card, then you cannot activate card effects for the rest of the turn." she explained smirking.

"With that all done, I end my turn..." she said to him, she was a bit confident now that she had dealt damage to him, but she was still cautious, he did after all still have two Xyz Monster left.

"With it ending, Trishula's ATK and DEF return to normal." she said, 3700/3000 = 2700/2000 (Trishula)

Adeena's Hand x 0

Turn 5

"My turn! Draw!" Matthew said, drawing his card, he flipped it and was shocked at what it was, "Hey Yuzu!" he yelled into the crowd, "What?" she yelled back.

"Pay close attention to what I'm about to do!" he said, then turned back to Adeena, "Is there something else to Xyz Summoning?" Yuzu thought to herself, seeing that he had mostly shown her how to Xyz Summon.

"Its time to end this! Because I control Mech Xyz Monsters, l can activate the Ritual Spell, Mech's Forge of Creation!" all watching gasped, "Doing this allows me to instantly add an Ore Mech Ritual Monster from my Deck to my Hand!" he added his choice, but his words still shocked them. "Ritual!? You can Ritual Summon!? Adeena gasped out, Yuzu was also interested.

"Using this card, I can Ritual Summon using Mech monsters I control as Tributes!" A giant black steel anvil appeared from the under the ice. "Surely you don't have the Tributes to Summon it, right?" Adeena said hopeful, "I do, they're on my field!" he gestured.

"My Ritual Spell can allow me to tribute Mech monsters whose Level or Rank..." he said, as Adeena flinched at the last part, "From my Field whose combined Rank and Levels are equal or higher than the Ritual Monster's Level. And as an added bonus, if I use a Xyz Monster that has Overlay Units, I can treat those Units as tributes with a Level equal to the Xyz Monster's Rank!" he explained.

"I tribute the Rank 4 Steel Slasher, and it's Level 4 treated Ore Mech Coal Bit!" he said, with these words, Steel Slasher and his last Overlay Unit, condensed into spheres of light, Steel Slasher's bigger, and they started to spiral around the Anvil, which gained a circle of symbols, mainly there were of the periodic table.

"The contract has been made! Mechanical menace of minerals, take these offerings and awaken!" he chanted as the spheres shot down, and landed on the anvil, a pillar of light erupted from the spot.

"Ritual Summon! Appear from the earth itself! Level 8! Ore Mech Mineral Menace!" he yelled out, slamming the Ritual Monster onto his blade.

The ground, beneath the anvil opened up taking the anvil into it, and throwing out a monster followed by magma.

Kneeling on the field was a tall Mech monster, it was just as tall as Steel Slasher, its armour was comprised of stone while the inner workings were metal, across it's armour were cracks that were filled with many kinds of ores, of varying colours, on its chest was a core that was comprised of these ores but mixed together. On its shoulder pads, were two spikes of amber, and carried in it's arms was a giant battle axe that was also a pickaxe on the other side. It gave a might war cry as stood up.

Ore Mech - Mineral Menace: EARTH, Level: 8 [Rock/Ritual/Effect] ATK/2600 DEF/1800

"Incredible..." Yuzu got out, "So what? You Ritual Summoned, big whoop! It doesn't amount to anything if it's weaker than my Trishula!" Adeena said mockingly, though slightly afraid of the Ritual Summoned Mech monster.

"Mineral Menace's effect!" Matthew said, "When he's Ritual Summoned while I control Xyz Mech monsters, he gains 1000 ATK per Mech Xyz Monster!" he said shocking his opponent.

"The only Xyz Mech Monster I currently control is Ingot Launcher, so Menace gains 1000 ATK!" he said, the ores on Menace glowed, the glow moving into its core. Mineral Menace's ATK: 2600 + 1000 = 3600.

"Now I activate the Equip Spell, Mech's Heavy Machinery!" he said, just then heavy digging industrial machinery appeared around Mineral Menace, it latched itself onto his arms and back. The one on his arms were a drill and the other a jack hammer chisel end. The one on his back were a digger claw and the other was a small version of a bucket wheel excavator.

"Now the equipped monster can allow me to use an effect depending on it's name, but I won't need them..." he said grinning. She scoured at that comment.

"Now for Menace's other effect! Once per turn, I can target 1 monster you control, and it's ATK and DEF become 0 until the end of the turn." he said.

Menace swung it battle pickaxe at Trishula, and red line of energy erupted from the end, and it hit Trishula square in the chest, 2700/2000 = 0/0. (Trishula)" And I can choose to switch the monster's position." he said, "I chose Defense!" he said, Trishula, due to the energy's power, forced it into kneeling, the red energy becoming a blue glow.

"Battle! Mineral Menace attacks Trishula! Tunnelling Collapse!" he yelled out, with Menace charging at Trishula, Adeena then took off, but Matthew stayed still.

"Since a Rock-Type monster is attacking, I can activate the Trap, Ore Mech's Rock Slide!" Matthew said, a face-down flipping up, it showed rocks of many sized hurling down a cliff, some were shown to be curled Ore Mech Monsters. "Now there's no point in Action Cards, as you can't activate them!" he said. she gasped.

This caused Adeena to stop in her tracks, the machinery on Menace started to activate, becoming faster the closer he got to Trishula, "So what? With Trishula in Defense, I'll survive!" she said.

"Forgot to mention… Heavy Machinery allows the equipped monster to inflict piercing damage!" he said, shocking her, the jack hammer chisel stabbed Trishula in the chest, it yelled in pain as it was destroyed. 1000 – 3600 = 0. (Adeena)

Matthew: WINS

Adeena: LOSE

"Either way, you would've lost, I still had Ingot Launcher..." Matthew said, after the match was over, with his victory, the field started to dematerialise, he then carefully skated to the side, where Yuzu was walking down to meet him.

"Great Duel Matthew!" she complimented him, "Thanks, I hope you learned what you needed and more." he said, hinting at what he did, "Sure did, but I was surprised that you could Ritual Summon." she said, as they talked Adeena skated to her parents, while her mother seemed fine, her father was disgruntled, having seen his daughter lose, and in such a humiliating way.

"Yeah, I haven't really drawn that Ritual card in ages, I thought of taking out, but didn't for just in case..." he said rubbing his neck. He then turned to see Adeena, getting off the ice, and leaving with her parents in silence.

"Speaking of Ritual Summoning..." Yuzu said, gaining Matthew's attention again, "Can Nigel and Oliver do it as well?" she asked, "Sure, but they're like me, we each have a few Ritual Monsters." he said. "I should probably add them in..." he muttered to himself.

"Well that's the Duels done with for today… Speaking off, I wonder how Yuya did for his first Duel?" she said to herself…

As she did, she got this feeling, she turned to Matthew again, to see him smirking, "What?" she asked him, "Worried about Yuya huh?" he said, still smirking. "Of course I am, he's my friend." she said.

"More like want to be boyfriend!" he sang, as soon as his finished that, a second later, Yuzu now blushing, pushed him backwards, "Whoa! Whoa! WHOA!" he screamed, skating backwards… And crashed on the other side. "Owww…" he whined out in slight pain.

"That's what you get for telling lies!" Yuzu yelled at him, she huffed, and turned away, still blushing as she lefted the building... "Owww..." And leaving Matthew all alone on the ice…
