Jack made quick work of Anthony the world champion and leader of The Star-Spangled Duelists. After he wiped out Team Rising Sun all at once, he cheated a second time to take out Kailyn.

Jack gave Anthony a last chance but after throwing a tantrum Jack easily took him down.

With all Duelists Anthony took out back in the game The Blades proceed to the park area where Jack will wait for Ushiwaka to arrive.

19. The Trial - Part 1.

When Jack and Duban reached the ground floor the rest of The Blades and Team Rising Sun were waiting, the leader of the Japanese team made a formal bow towards Jack. 'My name is Yasuo, I thank you on behalf of my team for exposing that cheater.'

Jack awkwardly bowed back which gave him a chuckle from the rest of Yasuo's team. 'But Jack was it?' Yasuo continued: 'This does not mean you'll get a free pass from us, we're still contestants of course.'

Jack nodded: 'Wouldn't have it any other way.' He replied, then Duban stepped forward.

'Team Rising Sun and Kailyn, since you were just accepted back into the tournament you'll get invulnerability for ten minutes, in this time period you may refuse any Duel, your invulnerability however ends whenever you challenge a Duelist yourself, is there any place you'd want to go? Transport can take you there once you're on your destination your invulnerability starts.' Duban explained, he looked at Kailyn.

'I'll stay with my team.' She replied then Duban looked at the Japanese team.

'We're good thank you, we saw the remaining two Duelists of the Star-Spangled Duelists scurry off into the shadows, we feel we have a score to settle with them.' Yasuo spoke.

'Understood, then your invulnerability starts now.' With these words Duban turned around the television screens displayed who were invulnerable and what time remained, Jack saw Duban had given himself ten minutes as well, because he was there as a tournament official and not as a participant.

At that same time in the forest of the abandoned carnival Tamamo had gathered her team, she stood in front of three Duelists, they were the remaining members of the French team.

'So Tamamo any reason you brought them here?' Tai asked he waved his hand in front of one of them he got no reaction. 'Anyone home?' He asked as he started to poke the male Duelist.

'Tai.' Tamamo calmly spoke: 'I convinced them to listen to me, they follow our way of thinking now.'

Tai took a step back: 'Wasn't the use of magic banned?' He asked.

'I've looked into it.' Tai's attention was drawn towards the voice of Ren who was hiding in the shadows of a large tree.

'The rules state that the use of magic is prohibited to alter a Duel or to hurt your opponents. What Lady Tamamo did here didn't hurt these people nor did it alter a Duel in any way. The New Government are consistently using magic to check in with their allies behind the screens to see if there are problems, of course I have proof of this so if they make a problem of our use of magic it can become really nasty for them.'

Tai let out a chuckle: 'I still think it was a good idea to pick up an ex-lawyer, so about this team what do you plan to do with them?'

Tamamo turned her back to her new puppets: 'A little trial for The Blades.' She simply replied: 'We have the Demon Hunters two of them are down already, their leader Ushiwaka is on his way to fight Jack, I expect Jack to take him out, so first I will send Yadira and Ren to take out the remaining two, Ushiwaka has stopped Hoji before and he sure has noticed Hoji's presence. By taking his team out I'm sure they will investigate Hoji, I might be able to set a trap for them.' The lawyer and the mysterious Yadira disappeared quietly into the forest.

'Now for the French team, The Blades for now are off limits, but their allies who called themselves The Daggers can become a problem, I have a plan to take them out and the French team are my test subjects for that plan.' She continued.

Tamamo then looked at Akai and Tai: 'I do have a mission for you two as well.' Akai made a formal Bow Tai simply crossed his arms.

'The New Government becomes to relaxed, they think they control everything, that is why I want your two to challenge Kamdida and Ghard to a tag-team, they need a little reminder that we are more powerful than they are.'

The city area.

Ushiwaka was getting close to the park, he had stopped for a moment to watch Jack's Duel against Anthony, in the distance he saw a Duel going on, it was a tag-team with three people watching Ushiwaka recognized the three onlookers and two of the Duelists as the Japanese team, the other two were the last remaining members of the American team.

Ushiwaka quickly approached them, he was then stopped by Jiro and Goro, their leader Yasuo was watching the Duel.

'Can't let you interfere.' Jiro stated.

'I have no business with you guys.' Ushiwaka replied in Japanese, Jiro relaxed a bit. 'I have someone waiting in the park, I promised him a Duel.'

Goro then shook his head. 'You're still a contestant, we have no obligation to let you pass.

Ushiwaka chuckled quickly he activated his Duel Disk. 'In that case I'll take on your leader Yasuo, if I win the rest of you let me pass.'

Yasuo turned around upon hearing his name.

'You've got guts...' Yasuo started.

'Ushiwaka.' Ushiwaka replied.

'You've got guts Ushiwaka, I'll accept your challenge.' He made a formal bow Ushiwaka replied by doing the same bow.

Azumi and Rai who were Dueling Brian and Carol were nearing the end of their battle, the Japanese Duelists were determined to win because of what Anthony had done to them.

Azumi had Gagaga Cowboy (1500 ATK: 1 ORU) and Gagaga Girl (800 DEF) out, Rai had Blade Armor Ninja (2200 ATK: 1 ORU) and a face-down card. Brian only controlled a Vorse Raider. (1900 ATK)

It was currently Carol's turn she had just taken a huge hit from Azumi, because of that she only had one face-down spell or trap card on the field.

(Azumi: 3300 & Rai: 6700) - (Brian: 3000 & Carol: 1200)

'You Japanese punks think you can waltz over us? That Jack already used a cheap tactic to beat Anthony. Anthony got us all the cards we desired there's no way we'll lose to some nobodies!' Carol yelled, Azumi and Rai were unimpressed by her outburst. 'I summon KC-1 Crayton.' A literal tank came barreling down the street its weapons were all aimed at Azumi and Rai. (1500 ATK)

'Now I activate Tank Corps!' Carol continued, her trap card opened up, three smaller, lightweight tanks rolled up behind the first one. (1200 DEF x3)

'These are my Tank Tokens and for each Tank Token the attack power of KC-1 Crayton increases.' Carol explained, sparks of electricity appeared around the larger tank. (1500- 3000 ATK)

'Attack Gagaga Cowboy! Blast him back to the era he came from!' Carol roared, the tank took aim, with one blast the cowboy was gone.

(Azumi: 3300- 1800 & Rai: 6700) - (Brian: 3000 & Carol: 1200)

'Next I activate Sky Union!' Carol continued a spell card materialized on the field. 'I offer my three Tokens as a tribute!' Laser beams suddenly pierced through the sky each obliterating one of the smaller tanks, KC-1 Crayton became weaker. (3000- 1500 ATK)

Then the sky darkened as a gigantic, flying fortress broke through the clouds, it had a robotic face as a hull and countless turrets and cannons all aimed at Azumi and Rai. (2500 ATK)

'I end my turn and thus my Air Fortress Ziggurat spawns a Robot Token.'

A toy-like robot descended from the flying fortress it was red, white and blue in color, of course Azumi and Rai had seen these earlier in the Duel, they knew that no other monsters could be attacked if there was one of those Tokens on the field.

Rai drew her card. 'I activate Monster Reborn!' She stated the holy symbol appeared over the field a second Blade Armor Ninja appeared under it. (2200 ATK: 0 ORU)

'Next I activate Overlay Regen to give my new Blade Armor Ninja an Overlay Unit.' A clear orb appeared circling around the monster.

'Now I use the last Overlay Unit of both Blade Armor Ninja to activate their effects!' Two orbs disappeared and both ninja drew a second blade from their sheath.

'Blade Armor Ninja one, first attack on the Robot Token, second one attack Air Fortress Ziggurat!' The Ninja leaped into the air, for a second he disappeared, when he reappeared he had the toy robot impaled on his sword.

Quickly he kicked the robot off his sword then he leaped at the flying fortress. 'I activate Ego Boost!' Rai shouted playing her spell card, the Blade Armor Ninja got stronger his sword started to glow when he swung it a beam of light came out of the blade it sliced right through the fortress which slowly fell to the ground while many explosions tore it apart.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 6700) - (Brian: 3000 & Carol: 1200- 500)

'Now my second Blade Armor Ninja eliminate both monsters!' Rai commanded, first the warrior cut Vorse Raider in half, then he leaped at the KC-1 Crayton with one fluent movement the tank was cleaved in half, Carol cursed as her last life points disappeared.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 6700) - (Brian: 3000- 2700 & Carol: 500- 0)

Brian looked at Carol before he let out a sigh. 'Seems I have to clean up your mess, at least when I do this I'll become Anthony's student.' He drew his card. 'I activate Call of the Haunted.' He stated as a green-border version of the trap card appeared.

'Anthony payed a lot of money to get me this first version of Call of the Haunted, one-of-a-kind, this version revives as many monsters from my Graveyard as possible, each time a monster is revived this way it gains ten percent of its original attack points as a bonus.'

The ground broke open, several monsters crawled out, normally they were no Zombies, these versions were moaning, their flesh was decaying and they were stumbling around without any direction, first to crawl out was Axe Raider, (1700- 1870 ATK) followed by Vorse Raider, (1900- 2090 ATK) then Gaia the Fierce Knight now riding an undead horse, (2300- 2530 ATK) then an Insect Knight crawled out (1900- 2090 ATK) and finally an undead 7 Colored Fish. (1700- 1870 ATK)

'7 Colored Fish attack Gagaga Girl!' Brian commanded, the fish lunged itself forward, it bit the young woman and slowly dragged her back out the hole it came out of. 'Gaia the Fierce Knight!' Brian then commanded the undead warrior leaped at one of the Blade Armor Ninja and impaled him on his lance.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 6700- 6370) - (Brian: 2700 & Carol: 0)

'Insect Knight attack the other Blade Armor Ninja!' The undead bug-warrior stumbled forward right onto the sword of Blade Armor Ninja, seconds later the Insect Knight crawled out of the ground again. (1900- 2090- 2280 ATK)

It leaped at the Blade Armor Ninja again this time overpowering the warrior.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 6370- 6290) - (Brian: 2700- 2590 & Carol: 0)

'Vorse Raider attack Rai directly!' Brian bellowed, the once fierce warrior stumbled forward slashing away with his mighty weapon.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 6290- 4200) - (Brian: 2590 & Carol: 0)

'Axe Raider take out the other one!' Brian commanded with a grin, as the undead warrior approached Azumi Rai quickly activated a card, this was the real Call of the Haunted, a Blade Armor Ninja appeared once again, quickly the warrior leaped over to Azumi he impaled the Axe Raider before any damage was done.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 4200) - (Brian: 2590- 2260 & Carol: 0)

With a moan the Axe Raider got out of the ground again. (1700- 1870- 2040 ATK)

The Axe Raider stumbled at Azumi again and once more he got cut down a second time and once more he crawled out of the ground, (1700- 2040- 2210 ATK)

This time the Axe Raider was successful in taking out Blade Armor Ninja.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 4200- 4190) - (Brian: 2260- 2100 & Carol: 0)

Azumi looked at the horde of Zombies. 'Time to finish this clown, what a disgrace to any Duelist.' She scoffed: 'I activate my Monster Reborn!' A new warrior appeared under the holy symbol, a samurai wearing a red and black hakama with a blue cape loosely draped over his shoulders, his face was covered by an orange scarf, his long hair was tied into a tail. (1900 ATK)

'Now I use my Overlay Regen to give Gagaga Samurai and Overlay Unit, which I spent immediately!' A clear orb started to circle the warrior then disappeared into his sword.

'Next I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!' Azumi shouted the spell version of Call of the Haunted exploded, with the card gone the Zombies sunk back into the ground.

'By spending an Overlay Unit Gagaga Samurai can attack twice!'

Brian started to curse as the warrior leaped at him, first he delivered a powerful kick to Brian's chest then finished him off with a diagonal slash across his chest.

(Azumi: 1800 & Rai: 4190) - (Brian: 2100- 200- 0 & Carol: 0)

Yasuo took Ushiwaka a bit away from his other teammates so their Duel would not get in the way of Azumi's and Rai's Duel.

'Yasuo remember our deal.' Ushiwaka reminded his opponent.

'Yes of course, besides if you manage to beat me there is no way any of my other team members can take you one-on-one, and we do not resort to two-on-one Duels, exception was Anthony, but he suggested that Duel to Duban who agreed so we couldn't really refuse.'

When they reached their spot both activated their Duel Disk and D-Gazer.

'Ushiwaka, you said you had no time for a Duel? From my point of view you're here with a mission, you don't seem to enjoy the tournament.' Yasuo brought up his observations.

'You're pretty much right there Yasuo, I am here with a mission a mission that recently became more complicated.' He of course meant Tamamo invading the tournament. 'Yasuo you've heard of government deployed Dueling units?' Ushiwaka asked Yasuo nodded: 'Of course I have, Sector Security is the largest of them, there are several secret organizations, everyone know they exist but nobody has any proof they do.'

Both players drew their opening hands.

'So Ushiwaka you have something to do with it?' Yasuo tried to pry some information out of his opponent.

'Well not yet anyway.' Ushiwaka replied: 'You know The Blades?' He then asked.

'Who doesn't?' Yasuo answered: 'They took down the Earthbound Gods, well that's all most people know anyway.'

Ushiwaka nodded: 'They are independent from any government, I want to set up an organization like that in Japan, but I need some help that is why I'm here. I want to impress someone through my performance in this tournament.'

Yasuo started to order his cards in his hand.

'So you are willing to put your live in danger to stop people like those Dark Signers?' Yasuo sounded surprised.

'My resolve is strong Yasuo, and if I'm not mistaken you know a lot more than you let on don't you?'

Yasuo chuckled: 'I make no secret of the fact that I possess magic no, not going around screaming it from the rooftops either. As someone who possesses magic in Japan you know I'm registered, that is how I managed to get into my Dueling League, they accept both magic users and non magic users, the use of magic inside the League is therefor forbidden. Our founder figured a way for people like me who have magic but do not want to use it to have a place to belong.'

'That is admirable Yasuo, but is there any reason you don't like magic?' Ushiwaka then asked, Yasuo shook his head.

'No I don't hate magic it's just I can't control it well, I tried to learn but it just doesn't click, I'm still learning on the sides though and maybe when I learn to control it I change my mind about not wanting to use it, we might need all people with magic in the future.' His tone had changed which Ushiwaka noticed.

'So you've seen it then?' Ushiwaka asked.

'Yes Tamamo no Mae I saw her intrude the tournament I take it you meant her when you said things got more complicated?'

Ushiwaka said nothing he looked over his hand. 'Mind if I start?' He asked to change the subject.

'By all means.' Yasuo replied.

(Ushiwaka: 8000) - (Yasuo: 8000)

Ushiwaka was quick to take one card from his hand a play it, a face-down monster appeared on his side of the field.

'I end my turn.'

Yasuo drew his card, he took his time adding it to his hand.

'Interesting, keeping me in the dark. Ushiwaka let me ask you something.'

Ushiwaka nodded: 'You challenged me because you knew that if you beat me the rest of my team let you pass, now that I know you want to impress someone I wonder is that the true reason you challenged me?'

Ushiwaka shook his head: 'Afraid not Yasuo, he made it very clear I had to challenge a specific opponent, that Duel will make him decide if I'm worthy or not. You are more a test of my own skills, you're a very powerful Duelist Yasuo renowned in the Japanese Dueling League, favorite for being the next world champion even.'

'If that is how you feel Ushiwaka then allow me to go all out.' Yasuo took a card from his hand: 'I normal summon Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki.' He stated. The futuristic, four-armed samurai appeared lightning striking around him. (200 ATK)

'With the effect of Kageki I special summon The Six Samurai - Zanji.' Another futuristic samurai leaped from a nearby rooftop, he was clad in mechanical armor brownish with glowing, orange lines his weapon of choice was a spear. (1800 ATK)

With an ally on the field Kageki became stronger. (200- 1700 ATK)

'Since I have a Six Samurai with a different name than Legendary Six Samurai - Kizan I can special summon him, and with two different Six Samurai on the field he becomes stronger as well.'

A man leaped over Ushiwaka landing on the field in front of Yasuo, the futuristic samurai clad in heavy black armor. (1800- 2100 ATK)

'And finally I special summon Grandmaster of the Six Samurai.' Yasuo stated an old man walked onto the field, he had seen many battles he had long, white hair and a matching beard, his right eye was covered by an eye-patch, he wore more traditional armor mostly black, his gauntlets were futuristic the man held a large sword in both his hands. (2100 ATK)

'Kageki attack the hidden monster.' Yasuo commanded, Ushiwaka's face-down card disappeared in its place appeared a muscular man with long, blue hair and a matching pointed beard the only things he wore were a green had and a matching piece of cloth tied around his waist he held a hammer in his hand. (500 DEF)

'This is Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu.' Ushiwaka stated: 'When this card is flipped I can add an equip card from my Deck to my hand.' Ushiwaka selected a card on his Duel Disk and seconds later the card got ejected, a holographic version of Mage Power appeared above his head, then Yasuo's monster descended onto Kotetsu, the blacksmith tried to fight him off with his hammer but quickly succumbed to the more experienced warrior.

'Zanji, Kizan, Grandmaster direct attack!' Yasuo commanded Ushiwaka braced himself for the triple attack, swords and a spear scratched and pierced him, of course it didn't hurt but he was shoved back a bit because of the force of the attack.

(Ushiwaka: 8000- 6200- 4100- 2000) - (Yasuo: 8000)

'Nice attack Yasuo.' Ushiwaka complimented his opponent before he drew his card. 'But I'm afraid I have to end things now.' Ushiwaka quickly played a card, the warrior clad in heavy, black armor Gearfried the Iron Knight appeared. (1800 ATK)

'I activate Release Restraint!' Ushiwaka played a spell card cracks appeared in Gearfried's armor. 'I tribute Gearfried the Iron Knight and special summon Gearfried the Swordmaster from my Deck!' Gearfried's armor exploded in countless pieces revealing a muscular man with long, black hair and a tanned skin he only wore a pair of boots, a piece of cloth around his waist and bandages wrapped around his arms. (2600 ATK)

'Each time an equip card is equipped to Gearfried the Swordmaster I get to destroy one monster you control.' Ushiwaka explained in quick succession he played the remaining four cards from his hand, one after the other the equip spells appeared on the field: Axe of Despair, Magnum Shield, Gravity Axe - Grarl and Mage Power.

The warrior now wielded two, large axes he had the Magnum Shield strapped to his back. (2600- 3600- 5800- 6300- 8300 ATK)

Gearfried started to spin around he held his arms spread, one after the other he sliced through the samurai Yasuo commanded, when none was left the warrior stopped spinning facing Yasuo, he took a mighty leap and planted both axes in the chest of Yasuo.

(Ushiwaka: 2000) - (Yasuo: 8000- 0)

'Incredible.' Yasuo muttered as the holograms disappeared, while they were busy his teammates had beaten the reminder of The Star-Spangled Duelists, the four members had witnessed the quick defeat of their leader.

'It was an honor Dueling Ushiwaka.' Yasuo said while he made a formal bow, Ushiwaka bowed back. 'You certainly have the skill to become the world champion.' Ushiwaka said then he added with a chuckle: 'From what I've seen the position for world champion just opened up.'

Yasuo's expression changed: 'With Anthony gone many Duelists will try and become the world champ, I can imagine a tournament will soon be held to determine a new world champion, I need some serious training if I want to stand a chance, you made me realize that even more Ushiwaka, this Duel was valuable to me.'

Ushiwaka was glad to have met a humble Duelist, after they said their goodbyes Yasuo called out to Ushiwaka: 'Good luck in your Duel against Jack!'

Ushiwaka smiled: 'So you figured it out.' He replied.

'Jack certainly hold the power to help you with your organization, a man with such power I can only imagine he would be impressed by the people who can stand up to him.' Yasuo said.

'I only need to impress him Yasuo, if I can hold my own for a bit that will suffice, honestly that man is in a different league than any of us, if Jack had any interest he could be the world champion with little to no effort.' Ushiwaka replied.

'Even so Ushiwaka, I think you will be able to give him one hell of a Duel.'

With Yasuo's words in his mind and a big smile Ushiwaka finally made his way towards the park.

The park.

Jack looked up as he saw a figure rapidly approaching him.

'Been expecting you Ushiwaka, you took your sweet time.' Jack said with a grin when he saw his friend.

They found themselves near the arena which was a normally public Dueling field, closed off by a gate, there were some benches where parents could sit, in total there were three arenas two were regular fields and one was made for children, it was a bit smaller with special holographic projectors, these special projectors made the monsters appear less scary, also the rules in this arena could be turned off so that for example you could summon a high-level monster without a tribute. This was because a lot of children like to play but don't know the rules yet.

'I got held up a couple of times Jack.' Ushiwaka replied: 'Ran into the Japanese team, they were grateful you helped them back in the game, although I ended up taking out their leader.' Ushiwaka sounded casually.

'I see you've had a good warm-up then.' Jack replied quietly he activated his gear, immediately a warning sounded that their Duel was taking place in the arena in ten minutes.

'Was to be expected Duban wants this on television.' Jack said with a sigh: 'Duban sets me up as some great Duelist prodigy then it's all the sweeter for him when he defeats me.'

Ushiwaka said nothing as they entered the Dueling field.

'Ushiwaka.' Jack sounded serious all of a sudden: 'What do you think your chances are here?'

Ushiwaka was taken aback by the question: 'I think a good team leader needs to know their strengths and weakness as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their team and of the opponent they face, I don't know all your strengths Jack I know you can summon special evolutions of Stardust Dragon, I know you can only use one those when that Crimson Dragon grants you their power, the other one I've only seen you use while in grave danger.'

Jack's face showed nothing so Ushiwaka was still in the dark. 'Jack I'm not counting on the fact that you can't use them, even if you can't use them I expect you to have some crazy strong monsters. As for myself? I don't know if I stand a chance, I think my skill is exceptional but you're on a whole other level, but I will give it my all Jack! I won't hold back so you'd better meet my expectations!'

Jack smiled then the signal for their Duel to start sounded through the park. 'Duel!' Both shouted.

(Jack: 8000) - (Ushiwaka: 8000)

Jack drew his opening hand and without hesitation he played a card which materialized as a face-down monster.

'I end my turn.' He stated.

Ushiwaka drew his card.

'Starting light are we Jack?' He asked: 'Or did you get a bad hand?'

Jack smiled: 'Just biding my time Ushiwaka, I want to see what you can do.' He replied.

'If that is what you want Jack then the witness of my power!' He choose three cards from his hand. 'First I summon Marauding Captain!' The gruff warrior leaped onto the field brandishing his two swords. (1200 ATK)

'With the effect of Marauding Captain I summon Armed Samurai Ben Kei!' Next to the first warrior the warrior clad in white appeared the weapons in the basket on his back were shining in the light of the rising sun. (500 ATK)

'Next I equip Ben Kei with Axe of Despair!' The axe with the demon face on the hilt appeared in the warrior's basket, quickly he grabbed the axe out of it weighing it in his hand. (500- 1500 ATK)

'Marauding Captain attack!' Ushiwaka commanded the reversed card on Jack's field disappeared in its place appeared a small, white robot with blue lines, the robot was shaped like a jet engine. (0 DEF)

Quickly Marauding Captain sliced through Jet Synchron.

'Ben Kei!' Ushiwaka shouted the nimble warrior dashed forward delivering two quick slashed with his new axe.

(Jack: 8000- 6500- 5000) - (Ushiwaka: 8000)

Jack drew his card. 'Not bad Ushiwaka, getting some good damage in.' Jack looked over his hand. 'I send Quillbolt Hedgehog to my Graveyard to special summon Jet Synchron from my Graveyard.'

In a flash of light the small engine robot reappeared. (0 DEF)

'Now that I control a Tuner I special summon Quillbolt Hedgehog from my Graveyard as well.' Next to the robot the orange creature with bolts in its back appeared. (800 DEF)

'Now I normal summon Synchro Carrier.' Another small robot appeared, this one was orange and looked to be a construction worker, the robot had a small crane attached to its back. (0 ATK)

'Now I tune all three monsters!' Jack quickly removed the three cards he pocketed Quillbolt Hedgehog and Jet Synchron since they got banished, a green light illuminated the Dueling field.

'Gathering stars light the way to my destiny, break through the sound barrier with an explosion of force! Synchro Summon! Junk Speeder!' Jack chanted a loud sound echoed over the park as a fast-looking warrior dashed onto the field, a sleek-designed robot build to go fast it was painted mostly white with blue details, it had two plane-like wings protruding from its back. (1800 ATK)

'The effect of Junk Speeder allows me to special summon as many Synchron monsters from my Deck as I can with different levels.' Jack explained, four lights appeared around his Synchro monster, first appeared the Unknown Synchron the small orb with a red, optical sensor in the middle, (0 DEF) next to it appeared the robotic nitro tank that was Nitro Synchron, (100 DEF) then appeared the more famous Junk Synchron (500 DEF) and finally Road Synchron appeared, a massive robot clad in yellow armor with roller machine wheels for legs. (800 DEF)

'Now I tune Junk Synchron and Junk Speeder!' Jack shouted, again the area lit up green stardust started to fall down onto the field.

'Gathering stars light the way to my destiny, a spark of stardust to mimic the ancient dragon! Come forth, Stardust Spark Dragon!' Jack chanted, the Stardust Dragon look-a-like flew over the arena before landing on the gate of the Dueling field. (2500 ATK)

'Now I activate Necroid Synchro!' Jack shouted as he played a spell card. 'I banish Junk Synchron and Junk Speeder!' For a second time stardust fell down onto the field, with a roar the real Stardust Dragon flew over before landing on the gate opposite to Stardust Spark Dragon. (2500 ATK)

Ushiwaka's hand was trembling with excitement as he looked up at the two dragons staring him down, this is what he had waited for.

Eliminated:

Carol & Brian: The Star-Spangled Duelists.

Yasuo: Team Rising Sun.

The Star-Spangled Duelists eliminated, 13 teams remaining.
