Here we are in Oasis City, where Art's Yu-Gi-Oh duel tournament was being placed as the hype and tension between the competitors this round was reaching new levels of hype.

Since the first demonstration scrimmage back in New Frontier City, people began to drive in flocks in acquiring cards that were being produced on a small scale as everyone wanted to duel and play duel monsters.

Within the first day the small time general store had sold out, and more cards wouldn't be produced until weeks before the official tournament began which would take place publicly at Oasis City, Soot Ville, and Henry City, before the finalist will be sent to participate in a live radio broadcast in the Queendom of Agora's Castle.

So with the expose out of the way, let's get on with seeing some duels that were being performed in Oasis City.

"All right Snap, this is the first duel of the day, and people are eager to get this show on the road before we have to work as ref's" said Art.

"I'm well aware, now as you would say, get your game on" said Snap as both players began to draw their cards respectively.

"I'll go first, and I'll start off by playing Elemental Hero Burst Lady onto the field in attack mode" said Art as he summoned his monster in a live display thanks to a mixture of science and magic.

"Then I play 2 cards face down, and end my turn" said Art, "I must commend you for referring to your monster based on their original Japanese name, now it's my turn to draw" said Snap.

"And because it is, I reveal my facedown trap card, Jar of Greed, it allows me to draw one card" said Art, "No true harm was done, now I set one card in facedown defense position, and I'll place one more in my spell and trap card zone, end of turn" said Snap.

"If that's all, I'll draw. First off I'll summon Elemental Hero Wildheart, and next I'll have him attack your monster" said Art as Wildheart had destroyed Traptrix Atrax.

"And now Burst Lady will attack your life points directly" said Art as Snap was hit by a fireball to the chassis.

"I'll set one card down and end my turn" said Art, "Very well, I draw. I summon Traptrix Dionaea in attack mode, and when I normal summon her onto the field I get to special summon one Traptrix monster from my graveyard onto my field in defense mode" said Snap as Atrax returned to the play.

"Now that Atrax has return back to the field, I can now play trap cards directly from my hand without having to set them, like my Treacherous Trap Hole, and I'll use it to destroy both monsters on your field" said Snap as Art lost his monsters in an instant.

"And now I shall have Traptrix Dionaea attack you directly" said Snap as his monsters giant Venus flytrap lunged and took a bite out of Art as he screamed in pain.

"I end my turn" said Snap, "That's fine, now I draw. I reveal my facedown trap card Call of the Haunted to bring back Burst Lady from my graveyard and onto my field" said Art as Burst Lady now stood by his side.

"Next I play Polymerization and fuse Burst Lady with Elemental Hero Bubbleman to summon Elemental Hero Steam Healer" said Art as hot steam covered the field with his brand new monster.

"Now attack Traptrix Atrax" ordered Art, "Not so fast, I play my facedown trap card Spiked Trap Hole to not only destroy your monster, but also you receive damaged based on halve the attack of your destroyed monster" said Snap.

"Think again, for I've got a trap of my own, or rather a spell, Mystical Space Typhoon and I'll use it to destroy your trap and Steam Healer can destroy your monster" said Art as he destroyed Atrax once more.

"And that's not all, when Elemental Hero Steam Healer destroys an opponents monster, I gain attack points based on that monster original attack" said Art.

"I end my turn" said Art, "Draw. I play the magic card Dian Keto, and recover 1000 of my life points, then I play Traptrix Genlishea in defense mode, and when I bring her out onto the field, I can set 2 additional trap 'hole' cards from my deck and graveyard so long as they have different names. I end my turn" said Snap.

"Draw. I set one monster down in facedown defense mode, and that's gonna be it for me" said Art, "Draw. I sacrifice my Traptrix Genlishea in order to summon Curse of Dragon, next I'll use the effect of Dionaea to bring back Traptrix Atrax" said Snap.

"Now attack Curse of Dragon, destroy Steam Healer" said Snap, "Not so fast buddy, I reveal my face down, defusion, it stops your monsters attacking, and let's me have both my Elemental Hero's back on my field" said Art.

"But it still leaves you at a disadvantage, since my Traptrix Dionaea is still in attack mode and I'll have her destroy your Bubbleman" said Snap.

"I still got one more card face down remember, Two-Pronged Attack, now at the cost of sacrificing 2 monsters on the field I can destroy one of your monsters as well, so say adios to Dionaea, while I say hasta la vista to Bubbleman and my set card Trap Master" said Art as many monster were removed from play.

"And that's not all, when Trap Master is flipped, I can choose one active or set trap you control and send it to the graveyard and I'm picking the very card you had previously brought from the graveyard" said Art as he destroyed Snap' Spiked Trap Hole card.

"And because you did and that card had been previously returned by Traptrix Genlisea it is sent to the banish pile. I end my turn" said Snap.

"Ok, I draw. I start off by playing the spell card, Double Summon, and normal summon my Elemental Hero Featherman, but he and Burst Lady aren't staying to long as I'll tribute them both in order to summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon" said Art as he finally played his favorite monster onto the field.

"Now Red-Eyes, destroy Curse of Dragon" ordered Art, "Have you forgotten my trap card now? I play Trap Hole, and have it destroy your Red-Eyes" said Snap as he instantly destroyed Art's card in one turn.

"Damn it! I place one card face down and end my turn" said Art, "My turn. I'll switch my Traptrix Atrax in attack and start by having Curse of Dragon attack you directly" said Snap as Art was scorched on the spot, as this attack left him with only 100 life points now.

"And now I'll have Atrax attack you directly" said Snap, "I activate Negate Attack, stopping your monster from attacking me directly" said Art.

"Good call, I set one card face down then I end my turn" said Snap, "Draw! I play Pot of Greed, which let's me draw 2 card" said Art as he drew the cards he needed to turn things around.

"Ok, I start my turn by play Monster Reincarnation, now by discarding one card from my hand I get to bring a monster back from my graveyard to my hand, and now I play the Magic Card Red-Eyes Fusion, by using materials from either my hand, deck, or field, I can summon a fusion monster and now I get to play truly the most powerful monster in my deck" said Art.

"Come out! Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon!" shouted Art as people thought seeing his Red-Eyes Black Dragon was a sight to see before, but now this new monster was emanating a power no one can imagine.

"I activate my trap card, Deep Dark Trap Hole, when a level 5 or higher monster is special summoned I can banish that monster" said Snap.

"Nope, My Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is not only immune, but can't be targeted by card effects the moment he is summon, and what's more I activate his effect that on the turn he is summoned, I can destroy any number of my opponents monsters based on the number of normal monsters I used to fusion summon him, so Dark Dragoon destroy Atrax for the last time already" said Art.

"And still got my battle phase, so go forth Red Eyes Dark Dragoon and attack Snap directly" ordered Art as Art finally dropped Snap's life points down to zero.

"Gotcha" said Art as the crowd surrounding him and Snap cheered for an amazing spectacle as both men shook hands and took a bow.

"Thank you ladies and gentlemen, you've been a wonderful audience and we appreciate your patience for those who are participating after the opening game" said Art.

"Now here are some ground rules before we start my tournament, rule one: no attacks below the belt, but trash talking is encouraged. Rule two: Participating duelist must have no more than 40-60 cards in their deck when dueling, not counting monsters from their extra deck" said Art.

"Rule three: no more than 3 copies of the same card can be permitted in a duelist deck when participating. Rule four: Monster allowed in the extra deck and can be summoned in this tournament includes fusion, synchro, and ritual monsters" said Snap.

"And now I know there's a lot of you eager to participate and duel, so for brevity, both players start with 2000 life points, and you don't need to offer a sacrifice when playing high level monsters, once you officially win your duel, the winners will be given a pair of custom made dog tags that shows you're eligible to participate in the next round of the tournament which will be held in Henry City" explained Art.

"Me, Art, Sir Duster, and Abby will be the ones to officially hand these out and will also assume the roles as judges and referees" explained Snap.

"Sound good? Ok, let's get this tournament going" said Art as everyone cheered and got eager to start playing.

Hours would pass and while many duels were interesting, many more were a dime a dozen and as some duels ended as quick as 2 turns, while few lasted as long as Art and Snap's duel.

Eventually the sun began to set as they final duelists were starting to dwindle down, and one of them that Art had a close time watch was a duel between Ben and some random red shirt.

"Come on you filthy hybrid, why don't you give up already, I've got this game in the bag" said the red shirt as it's monster was Spikebot, as it already destroyed Ben's monsters, his most noticeable being Burst Lady, Featherman, and Sparkman.

"This duel ain't over till my life points dropped to zero" said Ben as he drew a new card.

"Ok I play Elemental Hero Clayman in attack mode" said Ben, "Why play a wussy card like that in attack mode" taunted the red shirt, "Because now I can activate and play the magic card, Shield and Sword, this switches the attack and defense of our monsters for this turn" said Ben.

"Hold on, time out" pleaded the red shirt, "Too late, Clayman, attack and destroy his Spikebot" said Ben as Clayman did so.

"I place one card face down and end my turn" said Ben as his red shirt opponent began to grimace.

"I set Kuriboh in defense mode and end my turn" said the red shirt, "Draw. I play the spell card Monster Reborn, and bring back my Elemental Hero Sparkman" said Ben.

"I'll have Clayman attack your Kuriboh first" said Ben as Clayman obliterated the hairball as the red shirt could only glare at Ben over the situation.

"And now I'll have Sparkman attack you directly and finish this duel" said Ben as Sparkman stuck his hand out and electrocuted the red shirt in his spot as his life points hit zero.

Feeling humiliated the red shirt got up from his chair and was ready to lay into Ben, but Art stopped the man from slamming his fist into Ben's face.

"Keep that rough house shit out of my tournament" said Art with a glare as he shoved the man back into the ground, where he ran away, leaving his deck behind.

"You did a good job Ben, way to tough it out till the very end" said Art, "Thanks commander" said Ben as he began to gather his cards.

"So, you trying to start your own collection of Elemental Hero's" asked Art, "Oh, you noticed, well yeah, not because I'm trying to copy you sir, but you know because they look cool" said Ben.

"I totally agree, that's why I started collecting them, though forgive me bluntness, but you're not playing a full deck of heroes are you man" asked Art.

"You don't even know the half of it, I had to trade Kit and Heather some high level monsters in order to get Sparkman and Avian, and well that's the best I could do when getting booster packs" said Ben with a sigh.

"I see. Well before I send you off, let me hand you of course this dog tag as a sign of a good job and welcoming you to participate in the next round of the tournament" said Art.

"Thanks commander" said Ben, "Don't thank me just yet, come with me over here" said Art as he went towards the registration desk and pulled out a cardboard box that was filled with booster packs, meant to handed out to participants of this tournament whether they won or not.

"Here, I think you'll get the most benefit out of this one" said Art as he handed Ben the booster pack.

Opening the package containing some new cards, Ben was in awe to see how he not only received the 3 exact fusion monsters he needed to his roster, but also the field spell, Fusion Field, on top of his Elemental Hero support cards.

"Commander, I don't know what to say" said Ben, "Nothing needs to be said other than be ready to get your game on, I'll be seeing you next week in Henry City for us to duel" said Art.

"Wait you're participating in this tournament" asked Ben, "Of course, you didn't think me and Snap dueled without the sake of not participating now do you" said Art.

"Take care Ben" said Art as he waved the hybrid off as there were still games he had to oversee.

Henry City

After a week had past, those who participated and passed the pre-preliminaries were welcome to play the next part of the tournament, and frankly speaking there were a lot of people wanting to participate said and done that in spite of how many people were processed.

"Ok everyone, you know the rules, and after much debate and discussion, in order to condense things down to the finals, we're going to retain the 2000 life point rule once again, but you must tribute summon lower level monsters appropriately to summon higher level ones" announced Art.

"Furthermore, in order to keep track of who's moving up, duelist must wager a set amount of dog tags, no less than one, per duel, where the loser must fork over their dog tag to the winner; those who manage to collect more than 11 dog tags are now eligible to enter the final round in Soot Ville, and must return to the judges desk presenting the winnings and will be added to the list, are there any questions" said Art.

"How will you determine the duels for today" asked a red shirt, "Today is a free for all, you can challenge who ever so long as they're participant" said Art as everyone mumbled in agreement.

"If that's all, let the games begin" shouted Art as everyone roared in a heartfelt cheer and were ready to test their might.

"Art!" yelled Vince as he managed to slip through the crowd, "Vince, I don't think I saw you participated in last weeks registration duel" said Art.

"I ain't wasting my time with these losers, I've got a score to settle with you back in New Frontier City" said Vince, "As tempting as that sound, you need a… dog tag" said Art.

"I got your dog tag, and I'll be shoving it down your throat once I'm done beating you first in this tournament of yours" said Vince, "To arms then" said Art as he accepted Vince's offer.

Sitting at one of the many tables, both men respectively shuffled and cut each other's deck, before starting their duel.

"Ladies first loser" said Vince, "Very well, I play Trade-In, by discarding one level 8 monster I can draw 2 cards, and now I play Fire Hand in attack mode, I'll then set 2 cards down and end my turn" said Art.

"Those aren't the normal cards that the Commander plays" said Rod, "Agreed, though there's got to be a reason why he's not playing a full deck" said Beans.

"What gives, those aren't your Elemental Hero's or Red-Eyes monsters you normally play" said Vince, "I don't need to bring my best cards to beat you" said Art.

"You little shit, I special summon Cyber Dragon from my hand in attack mode, and I'll have him plug your Fire Hand" said Vince as Cyber Dragon fired a beam of energy from its mouth and completely destroyed Art's monster.

"Hold on, how is it that Vince can summon such a high level monster without the need of sacrificing" said Heather, "Yeah, Vince is like totally cheating" said Rod.

"No, he's not" said Beans, "What you talking about Beans" asked Heather, "Something tells me it has to do with that monsters card effect that he's able to summon him this turn".

"By destroying Fire Hand, you activate it's effect, it let's me destroy one monster you control" said Art as Vince lost his Cyber Dragon the moment it hit the mat.

"Additionally it's secondary effect activates, letting me special summon one Ice Hand from my deck to the field; accordingly I can also special summon Lightning Hand from my hand when a monster with either 1600 attack or defense points is destroyed in battle" said Art

"I'll play one card down, and end my turn" said Vince, "Draw. I play Black Luster Ritual, by sending both my monsters to the Field, I can now summon the ritual Monster, Black Luster Soldier" said Art.

"Attack Vince and end this duel already!" shouted Art, "Nice try, but I reveal my face down card, Scrap Iron Scarecrow, it negates the attack of your monster, and spare me from being eliminated from this duel" said Vince as he set his trap card back down.

"Hey Vince, you're suppose to send your spell and trap cards to the graveyard after they use their effect" shouted Heather, "Quiet in the peanut gallery" said Vince.

"Heather, remember what Beans said about monsters having unique card effects" said Ben, "Grr, but it's so unfair that Vince has a deck filled with cheap cards" said Heather.

"I don't disagree, but something tells me the Commander came more than a little prepared for this duel" said Beans as Art set one card down and ended his turn.

"I draw. Now I play, Graceful Charity, it let's me draw 3 cards from my hand, but I've got to ditch 2" said Vince as he began to form a shit eating grin on his face.

"Now I special summon my second Cyber Dragon, in defense mode and end my turn" said Vince.

"Draw! I play the magic card, Card Destruction, this magic card forces us both to discard our entire hand and draw the exact amount of cards from our deck" said Art as Vince's face fell.

"God damn it!" jeered Vince as he had to send 3 out of the 5 pieces of Exodia he had in his hand to draw some new cards.

"Next I play the spell card Polymerization, and I fuse my Black Luster Solider and Curse of Dragon in order to summon The Great Double Casted Caster" said Art as his monster appeared on the field with 0 attack points.

"Tell me the Commander has something up his sleeve than summoning an utterly weak monster" said Rod, "Please do before I put my foot in my mouth" said Heather.

"Um, Beans" asked Ben, "You kinda got me on this one" said Beans as he was confused over the situation as well.

"Hahaha, what's the matter Art, is this your idea of choking at the end of the finish line" said Vince with a laugh.

"What you don't realize Vince is that while my Double Casted Caster can be fusion summon by using non effect monsters, and while her attack points do start at 0, she gains the combined attack of all my normal summoned monsters so long as that monster was originally a normal fusion, synchro, or ritual monster" said Art as his monster instantly gain 3000 attack points.

"And that's not all, since my monster has the unique effect to attack your life points directly" said Art as he had smug look on his face.

"Oh shit, it looks like the commander is going to beat Vince black and blue now" said Heather as she was excited to see Art finish this duel.

"Not quite, he still has that scrapped iron scarecrow trap card at his disposal" said Ben, "Right so unless that commander pulls a trap card to destroy his trap, he can't do anything but flex that big ol beat stick monster he currently has on the field" said Beans.

"Damn it, it's like we can't catch a break around here" said Heather as Art ended his turn as Vince drew a new card from his deck.

"I end my turn loser" said Vince, "It's your call, draw!" said Art as he remained weary of whatever trick Vince might be planning.

"I play Ribbon of Rebirth and I'll equip it to my Double Casted Caster, and I'll end my turn from here" said Art as it was time for Vince to draw a new card as he had a smile on his face.

"I set one card down, and then I play the magic card, Polymerization and I'll fuse my Cyber Dragon on the Field and one in my hand to summon Twin Headed Cyber Dragon" said Vince as a new fusion monster appeared on the field.

"That's not good" said Rod, "Maybe not, but look it's attack points are slightly weaker than Art's monster" said Heather, "True, but knowing how aggressive Vince has been playing, it probably won't be an issue" said Beans.

"I end my turn" said Vince, "Draw! I set one card face down, and then I play Pot of Greed, which let's me draw 2 new cards" said Art.

"I play Science Soldier in defense mode and now I end my turn" said Art, "Good, cause that's your final turn before I end this duel, I'll have twin Headed Dragon attack your Great Casted Caster" proclaimed Vince.

"Now who's the one doing the suicide run" said Heather, "Wait for it" said Ben.

"And while he's at it, I'll activate a trap card, Reinforcements, which increases the attack points of one of my monsters, giving my card enough power to destroy your fusion card" said Vince as the Great Casted Caster was destroyed as Art lost a little bit more life points.

"And there's more, my Twin Headed Cyber Dragon can attack twice on this turn" said Vince as he destroyed Art's second monster.

"Now that your defenses have been destroyed, by next turn you'll be helpless to do anything" said Vince with a shit eating grin only for it to be wiped off when the Great Casted Caster returned back to Art's field.

"What gives!" demanded Vince, "Remember, I had equipped my monster with Ribbon of Rebirth, which allows my monster to return back to my field at the end of this turn when it was destroyed" said Art with a smug smile.

"All right, looks like the Commander is still in the game" said Ben as the group high fived.

"You got lucky, but you won't be by the end of the next turn" said Vince, "You mean by the end of my turn" said Art as he drew a new card.

"I'll start by activating my face down trap card, Dust Tornado, it destroys not only one spell or trap card on the field, but I get to set a new card of my own" said Art as he finally destroyed Scrap Iron Scarecrow.

"And that's not all, I play from my hand defusion and I defuse The Great Casted Caster in order to return my Curse of Dragon and Black Luster Solider" said Art.

"Now I'll start by having my Black Luster Soldier attack your Twin Headed Cyber Dragon" said Art as he destroyed Vince's monster.

"You better not you-" warned Vince as this was turning out like the first time, when he had all his monsters previously removed, no trap cards, and was one card short away from playing Exodia.

"Too late! Curse of Dragon incinerate Vince and end this duel already" said Art has monster blew a blazing inferno at Vince as he screamed in both pain and in shame.

"It's over Vince, you're out of my tournament" Art said as Vince stormed off with his cards as Art was left to collect his dog tag.

"Phew, that was intense" said Art as he turned to Sombra Squad as they were their to not only support but root for him.

"Shouldn't you guys get the lead out in this tournament" Art asked with a cheeky smile, "Didn't want to miss the rematch of the century" said Ben.

"Well if that's all that's all" said Art as he began to pack his deck away, "Commander" called Kit.

"Will you do me the honor in dueling me" said Kit, "Sure thing buddy, and don't worry, I'll bring my A Game around" said Art as he pulled out his main deck from his deck pouch.

Once they were properly set and shuffled their opponent decks, there was only one thing to do.

"Let's duel!" shouted both players, "I'll start, and I'll start by playing my, Graceful Charity, I get to draw 3 cards, but I got to ditch 2 cards to the graveyard, and then I play, Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight in attack mode, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn" said Art.

"Draw, I play, Machina Soldier, and when this monster is normal summoned to the field, I can special summon one more Machina monster onto the field" said Kit as he set a monster in face down defense mode.

"I'll set one card face down and end my turn" said Kit, "I draw, and now I activate one of my face down spell cards, Divine Sword- Phoenix Blade, and I'll equip it to my Gearfried of Red-Eyes, and use his effect to destroy my equip spell card" said Art.

"Now why would the Commander would try using an equip spell on a monster that can't use equip spell cards" said Heather, "I don't know, but something tells me it's got something to do with that version of Gearfried effect" said Rod.

"Wait, there's another version of Gearfried" asked Ben, "Yeah, it's actually right here in my deck, see, but the Commander is using a completely different monster" said Rod as he showed his card.

"I'm willing to put my money on the fact that the name of Gearfried may have something special to do in addition to your monsters original effect" said Beans.

"And now that my spell card was destroyed I can activate Gearfried's secondary effect, and that allows me to destroy one spell or trap card you have on your field" said Art as he destroyed Kit's Pot of Averice.

"But there's more, Gearfried of Red-Eyes, destroy Machina Soldier" said Art as he wiped out Kit's current offensive line monster.

"I'll set one card down and end my turn" said Art, "I draw, and I start by playing Machina Sniper in attack mode" said Kit as he played a new monster.

"And then I'll reveal my monster in defense mode, Machina Defender, where his effect activates, which allows me to search and add Commander Cavington from my deck to my hand, then I'll set one card down, and end my turn" said Kit.

"You can tell by Kit's unfaltering stance he's got something big planned" said Beans, "You know it, but the question is can he play it before the Commander can play his" said Ben as Art drew a card from his deck.

"Sorry to kill your buzz Kit, but I plan to end this duel before you can play whatever it is you got instore, and I'll start by activating my Archfiend Axe and equip it to Gearfried of Red-Eyes, and watch it get destroyed" said Art.

"Here we go again" said Asha, "Not quite, sure Art can destroy Kit's backrow spell or trap card, but it's not like he could chip at his life points" said Beans.

"Something tells me we're about to see something epic" said Ben.

"Now that the equip spell card was destroyed, I activate my monsters other effect, which allows me to special summon one level 7 or lower red-eyes monster" said Art as he finally played one of his 2 ace monsters onto the field.

"Behold, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" exclaimed Art as his monster seemed to roar over its name being chanted.

"And now I reveal one of my face down spell cards, Metalmorph and equip it to my Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and now I sacrifice both cards in order to summon Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" said Art as he revealed the potential his monster had after a new metal job was done to its body.

"Red-Eyes attack his Machina Sniper" said Art as his dragon spewed a dark metal blast towards Kit's monster, severely damaging his life points.

"And Gearfried of Red-Eyes, drag his Machina Defender down to hell with you, attack" ordered Art as he completely took out Kit's monsters in one turn.

"Crap, I really hate to see Kit go out like that" said Ben, "And yet he's remaining calm" pointed out Beans as Kit dust his shoulders off.

"My turn, and I'll play Pot of Greed, which let's me draw 2 cards" said Kit as he began to form a smile on his face, let me start by playing Commander Cavington onto the field" said Kit as he played his monster in defense mode.

"And now for my great comeback, first I reveal my face down trap, Call of the Haunted, and I bring back Machina Soldier back to the field. And next I play 2 magic cards, Monster Reborn, and Premature Burial, to bring back Machina Sniper and Machina Defender" said Kit as he had a full house of monsters on field.

"Amazing, Kit managed to bring back all the monsters he had previously lost in battle" said Heather, "Yeah, but that doesn't mean they stand a chance against the Commander's Red-Eye's" said Rod, "I get the feeling his monsters aren't here to stay around" said Ben.

"And now I activate the effect of the Commanding Cavington, by sending all my monsters back to the graveyard, so that I can now special summon the most powerful monster in my deck, Machina Force!" exclaimed Kit as his field literally had a transforming mech that would make most sentai fighters envious to have.

"I'll call it a turn" said Kit, "I draw" said Art as he was stuck with Archfiend Axe back in his hand, leaving him with no new cards to aid him for the time being.

"I end my turn" Art said shamefully, "Then I draw. I play Dian Keto and recover 1000 life points back, but they won't be around as I pay 1000 life points and have my Machina Force to destroy Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" said Kit as he destroyed not only Art's monster, but nearly his life points too.

"Did you guys see that, in one fell swoop attack, Kit managed to destroy the Commander's monster and reduced his life points to level" said Heather.

"I saw it, gotta say good for Kit for keeping his cool" said Beans, "I guess that means he's gonna win this duel and beat the Commander" said Ben as he felt bitter sweet saying that, but felt good that they'll all be in this tournament together for now.

"I'll end my turn for now Commander" said Kit as Art nodded, before drawing his card as it gave him new found hope and vigor.

"Kit, you fought with spirit against my deck, but know that I unfortunately have to end things from here" said Art.

"I start by revealing my face down trap card, Red-Eyes Spirit, to bring back Red-Eyes Black Dragon" said Art as his dragon let out a roaring return.

"Do you think the commander was serious when he said he was going to end things" asked Asha, "Knowing him, most definitely" said Beans.

"And now I activate the spell card, Inferno Fire Blast, this allows my monster to deal damage to your life points directly based on my monsters original attack" said Art, "Oh crap" said Kit as he was hit by said Inferno Fire Blast out of his chair.

With his life points now at zero, Art could finally breath in peace as he won his second duel of the day.

"I gotta say, you gave me a run for my money back there buddy" said Art as he went over and helped Kit back on his feet.

"I thought the same thing Commander" said Kit with a hearty laugh as he was ready to fork over his dog tags to Art.

"Keep it, you could have easily beaten me if you had drawn just one more card" said Art, "I won't argue with you sir" said Kit as he put his dog tags back around his neck.

"Alright, so who wants to take a dig at the future champ now" asked Art as everyone gave an excuse.

"Just playing, you guys go out and try the win this thing, and I'll see you all at the semi finals" said Art as his team saluted him as he went off to find some other red shirts to duel.

Later

Having won 4 duels, Art had collected himself about 7 dog tags and needed only 4 more to compete in the next round, however knowing who he was and seeing the number of dog tags he had, it was hard to find any willing challengers.

Eventually Art saw a small gathering, where he saw Heather being held back by Eye Gouge as he was doing security and preventing people from dueling with their fists.

"Let go of me already" growled Heather, "Hybrid child feisty, Eye Gouge likes, but Queen forbids acts of real violence for Immortal Man's stupid tournament" said Eye Gouge.

"Way to hurt me in the feels buddy" said Art as he heard the last part as he approached the group.

"What's going on here" asked Art, "Commander, these 2 smug assholes over there bullied Asha during our duel and costed us our game" said Heather as Art turned his head over to see the culprits at hand.

"I see, and you're trying to literally kick there ass for what they done" asked Art, "That's right now let me at them" said Heather as she got a smack in the forehead from Art.

"I thought I made it clear no acts of violence during my tournament, I'm sorry Heather, but you're going to have to forfeit your remaining dog tags and are kicked out of my tournament" said Art.

"What!? Commander you traitor!" said Heather as Eye Gouge carried her away to a place where she can calm down as Art dealt with Asha.

"Asha, is what Heather said true" asked Art, "Yes Commander" Asha said quietly.

"Go on and enjoy the rest of your day off, and try to forget about what happened" said Art with a warm smile as he saw Asha off.

"You know, I can easily have you both escorted and have the living shit beaten out of you for not only harassing a player, but one of my own soldiers no less" Art said as he addressed the 2 duelist.

"Hey we did nothing man, those girls were crazy" said a human with a couple of facial piercings, "Also ain't that abuse of power you're trying to throw at us" said a lizard man as he had a scar on his left eye.

"That's why I'm going to give you 2 a sporting chance, a double duel wager for all the marbles" said Art, "For all the marbles, sounds good don't you think Hcap" said the human, "Couldn't agree with you better Koda" said the lizard man.

"Be ready and bring your ace, while I get myself a partner" said Art as he began to search for the one man who'll aid him in their duel.

About 10 minutes later, Art found Ben having beaten his second opponent that day and explained what had happened as Ben didn't need to be told twice in avenging his sister and teammate.

"All right you bastards, it's time to teach you all a lesson in humility" said Ben, "Like we're gonna take lessons from a damn Hybrid" said Hcap.

"Let's try to keep the trash talking clean gentlemen, and I use those words ironically" said Art, "Enough jibber jabber, it's time to duel" said Koda.

"I'll start things off by play Elemental Hero Featherman in attack mode, and end my turn from there" said Ben, "I'll show you how it's done, I play Blizzard, Defender of the Ice Barriers in defense mode and set one card face down" said Hcap.

"And I'll play the Elemental Hero Heat, and while me and Ben have Elemental Hero Monsters out in play, he gains an additional 200 attack per monster, I'll play one card face down and end my turn" said Art.

"And I'll start by special summoning Prior of the Ice Barrier from my hand, before I summon Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier, I'll set one card down and end my turn" said Koda as the group came in full circle.

"I draw and I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman, and then I'll equip the magic card, Spark Blaster, and I'll have him switch your Blizzard Defender into attack mode, and now I'll have Sparkman attack your monster" said Ben.

"When Blizzard Defender of the Ice Barrier is destroyed by battle I can draw one card" said Hcap, "It matters not, because now I'll have Featherman attack you directly" said Ben.

"Activating trap, Negate Attack, as the name says, it stops one attack from your monsters this turn" said Hcap, "I'll have Sparkman use Spark Blaster to switch my monsters to defense mode, and end my turn" said Ben.

"Draw, I summon Defender of the Ice Barrier, and while this monster remains on the field, all monsters you both control can attack if it has equal or greater attack points to my monsters defense points defense points" said Hcap.

"Damnit, I wasted Spark Blaster too soon" jeered Ben, "It's all right Ben, there are other means to destroy monster cards without attacking them, you just have to draw the right card" said Art.

"As touching as your pep talk is, it's still my turn, and I place one card face down and end my turn" said Hcap.

"Draw, I'll set one card face down and then I play from my hand, Dark Hole, this magic card destroys all monsters on the field" said Art, "Not on my watch, I play Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Dark Hole spell from playing" said Koda.

"Thank you, I was hoping you'd do that" said Art, "What do you mean, in case you forgot me and my partner have the advantage and control of the field, we have your both literally frozen from playing any offensive skills or attacks" said Koda.

"So you think. I play from my hand, Polymerization, and I fuse from my hand, Elemental Hero Burst Lady with my Elemental Hero Heat so I can play Elemental Hero Nova Master" said Art.

"Alright so you managed to play one beefy monster already, that still ain't gonna do you any good this turn" said Koda, "True, but there's always next turn" Art said calmly.

"We'll see as soon as I'm done drawing" said Koda.

"This ends here, I summon, Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier onto the field" said Koda, "Great another monster that prevents us from attacking" said Ben.

"Don't worry he won't be staying for long, since I'll be sending him, Prior, and Secret Guards to the Graveyard, so I can summon, Trishula, Dragon of the Ica Barrier" said Koda.

"Stay calm Ben" Art said as he remained calm and collected, "And now that I have him on the field, I activate his special effect where once per turn, I can banish one card from each of your hand, field, or graveyard, but really I just want to be rid of one monster that's blocking my way" said Koda.

"I activate my trap, Imperial Iron Wall, when this card is out on the field, neither players from either side of the field can banish any cards from play" said Art.

"All right, I'll give you that, but that doesn't mean my dragon can't kill your hero, Trishula attack him 3 headed dragon blizzard blast" said Koda as he completely destroyed Art's monster.

Great, not only did the commander get his best monster destroyed, but now our opponents have a stronger monster out on the field, seriously the commander is better off taking them on himself, thought Ben.

"Ben, don't think I don't see that look on your face, you haven't had that plastered sad look on you since I first met you back in the court yard" said Art.

"We're a team buddy, and I wouldn't have asked you to join if I didn't believe in you" said Art with a warm smile, "You're right. Draw!" said Ben.

"I play Pot of Greed, this let's me draw 2 cards" said Ben as he increased his hand size and options.

"All right, I'm going to start by playing the field spell, Fusion Recycling plant, and while this card remains on the field, I can discard one card to add a polymerization from the graveyard to my hand, if the Commander allows it" said Ben.

"Give him hell Ben" said Art, "And I will, now that I have Polymerization in my hand, I can now fuse my Sparkman from my field, and my Clayman from my hand to summon, Elemental Hero Thunder Giant" said Ben.

"So what, you got a tough monster on the field big whoop, not like he can do much" said Koda, "But he can, by discarding one card, I can destroy one face up monster on the field whose original attack is less than my Thunder Giant" said Ben as Hcap began to pale.

"Now destroy Defender of the Ice Barrier" said Ben as he went and destroyed that pesky fox on the field.

"Crap, my monster" jeered Hcap, "You should be scared, because now Thunder Giant can attack you directly, so go on Thunder Giant and Shazam him 2 weeks into next Tuesday" said Ben as Thunder Giant zapped Hcap like there was no tomorrow.

"And now that it's my end phase, the second effect of Fusion Recycling Plant activates, which returns one of my monsters that was used as fusion material to return back to my hand" said Ben as he had Clayman snugged tightly in his hands.

"Hcap, pull yourself together, we can't lose to the guy hosting this even and his hybrid pet" said Koda, "Ugh, I draw" grunted.

"I play Strategist of the Ice Barrier in defense, and use his effect to discard one Ice Barrier monster in my hand to draw a new card" said Hcap as the card he drew was a dud.

"I end my turn" said Hcap as Koda shot him a sneer, "Well, I better end this, draw" said Art.

"I'm going to start by activating my trap card, Call of the Haunted, to bring back my Elemental Hero Nova Master" said Art, "What good is that card gonna do, did you forget my monster is still the strongest card on the field" said Koda.

"It was, cause now I play H-Heated Heart and equip it to Nova Master, and he gains an attack boost of 500 attack points, more than enough to end this duel" said Art with a smug smile.

"Nova Master, show this beta control freak what it means to be a master" said Art as Nova Master hit Trishula with a flash heat wave that knocked Koda back.

"That's game" said Art, "We did it commander" cheered Ben as they high fived over their shared victory.

"Was there ever any doubt" said Art as the pair walked over and claim their prize, "Looks like we both qualify to move to the next round of the tournament" said Ben.

"Yeah, let's hurry up and show our stuff, so we can be officially registered" said Art as the pair rushed towards where Snap was at and marked them in as one of the 16 duelist to be in the semifinals in Soot Ville.

"Well we got time to kill, want to go see how everyone else is facing off" said Art, "Yeah, sounds fun" said Ben as the duo didn't need to go far to see that Kit was completely dominating a player right now.

"I now tribute, Machina Resavenger, from my hand to increase the attack points of my Machina Sniper by 1200" said Kit as his opponent began to pale over his low level monster becoming a beat stick through unconventional means.

"Now attack his Battle Ox and end this duel" said Kit as in one attack he was the victor.

"I had no doubt you'd be raking in some major wins" said Art, "Commander Ben, hope you enjoyed the show" said Kit.

"We did, sorry we didn't come in sooner" said Ben, "It's all right, how are you both doing in this marvelous tournament" asked Kit, "We were in the top five, first registered to compete in the next part of the tournament" said Art.

"How about you Kit" asked Ben, "Just need one more good duel and I'll be joining you both" said Kit, "Keep doing you man, we're rooting for you" said Art.

"Commander" said Beans, "Beans, how you doing buddy" asked Art, "Good, I just finished showing proof and registering for the next part of your tournament".

"Wow, so far it seems only the guys of Sombra Squad might make it to the next round" said Art, "I'm not so sure, I didn't stay long, but from what I saw, Rod had his own wins and loses in between this tournament" said Beans.

"Hey, you learn more about dueling through your loss more than your wins" said Art, "Yeah, come on let's go see if we can find Rod, Beans care to join us" asked Ben as Beans nodded.

Eventually the trio found the last Bark sibling as he was dueling a red shirt.

"And now I'll have Gemini Soldier attack a Scape Goat token" said Rod as the little monster that could made mince meat out of the sheep.

"And now I can special summon one level 4 or lower Gemini monster from my deck to the field, and I play Dark Valkyria" said Rod before ending his turn.

"I draw, and play Drillroid, from my hand, and then I play the spell card, Block Attack, and use it on your Gemini Soldier, switching him to defense mode" said the red shirt.

"And now I'll have Drillroid attack your Gemini Soldier, where his effect kicks in, where before damage calculation kicks in I can destroy one monster in defense mode" said the red shirt as he destroy Rod's 1 foot tall brick wall.

"Oof, he should've aimed for his Dark Valkyria when using that combo of his" said Art as he shook his head, "Why what's so special of Dark Valkyria" asked Ben.

"Well you got to remember she's classed as a Gemini monster, a very slow paced and arguably one of, if not the most hated archetypes to play in duel monsters, however Rod seems to know how to play the archetype based on its strengths" said Art.

"Ok, but what's so deadly about Dark Valkyria" asked Ben, "I can't remember what on the top of my head, but normally the later and edgier releases tend to have amazing effects" said Art.

"My turn, and I sacrifice my normal summon, to officially Gemini summon Dark Valkyria, and use her Gemini effect and place one spell counter on her, increasing her attack by 300 points" said Rod.

"But I'm instead going to sacrifice her spell counter to destroy your Drillroid" said Rod as the red shirt was left speechless over being exposed.

"And now I'll have Dark Valkyria attack you directly" said Rod and sent his monster flying to punch the red shirt in the eye and out for the count.

"Oh, that looked like it hurt" hissed Ben, "And that's why I say no attacks below the belt" said Art.

"Rod, good job out there buddy" called Art, "Oh, Commander, I didn't see you there" said Rod as he went to collect his dog tags.

"That's fine, focus on your duel, not the peanut gallery" said Art, "Right, so how you guys doing" asked Rod.

"So far we're the only 3 to have qualified for the semi-finals out in Soot Ville, with Kit not too far behind" said Beans, "Wow, that's amazing guys, I'm happy for you" said Rod.

"Don't be praising us yet, it's only a matter of time, before you'll be signing up in the roster with the rest of us" said Art, "Yeah so how many dog tags you got" asked Ben, "I've got 6 now" said Rod.

"Well let's help you out and find someone to duel, it is my job after all" said Art as he switched to commissioner mode.

With the sun setting on their back, the boys returned to have Rod register as a semi finalist in Soot Ville, as the other last minute qualified finalist were signing up, one meat head, one narcissist looking elitist, one needy looking scrub, one rotten to the core 2 faced bitch, and heiress who gave a dirty look to Sombra Squad, etc.

Really the only one's the looked aesthetically curious were 2 short individuals, one wearing a heavy cloak with a witches hat and neko mask, and another one wearing a red hood and large cape like little red riding hood as she wore a kitsune mask.

"How many more spots do we need to fill" asked Art, "Assuming you had brought Rod here to register as a finalist, I believe we're good to go" said Snap.

"Then sign him up, let's tell everyone we're done here and prepare for next week" said Art as he spotted Heather and Asha nearby.

"Hey Asha, Heather, have you both calmed down" asked Art, "Sigh, yeah I'm good, just don't be surprise when I'm rooting for the next guy to kick your ass" said Heather.

"Fair enough. Asha you doing alright" asked Art, "Yes, thank you Commander, really your kindness is never ending to me, or any of us" said Asha.

"Anytime you're in trouble, I'll be there to help you" said Art as Asha decided to show her gratitude with kissing Art on the cheek, catching him off guard.

"Don't get the wrong idea, it be foolish of me to compete against your harem, I just wanted to express my gratitude" said Asha, "I'll take it, though I feel like Ben deserves some sugar too" said Art.

"I mean she doesn't-" began Ben as Asha shut him by kissing him on the cheek as well.

Standing not too far from the 2 young men, were the short finalist with the weird masks, as they both approached Art and Ben, with the neko mask wielder stomping her heel onto Ben's foot getting him to howl, while the kitsune mask wielder kicked Art in the shin as hard as she could, getting him to stagger and down on one knee.

"Ow, my shin!" exclaimed Art as he looked at the 2 random attackers as they said nothing, but turned tail and walked away.

"Hey, get back here" said Art as he was ready to disqualify those 2, "Hey hero, save it next week in the tournament, besides something tells me you both should feel lucky if that's the worst you'll feel" said Abby.

"You know what, ok, I can live with those terms and kick their asses next week in Soot Ville" said Art, "Yeah ditto" said Ben as they recovered from their injuries.

Soot Ville

This was the week everyone was waiting for as people sat around bleachers in the center of town to witness the semi finals in Art's duel monster tournament as he took center stage and explain the rules once more.

"… duelist have 4000 life points at the start of their duel, high level monsters can only played by a tribute summon, are we clear" said Art as the crowd and duelist cheered in response.

"All right, now there's 16 of us participating, and selections will be drawn by a lottery. Registered duelist were handed a ball with a number on it, like one of these" said Art as he revealed his lottery ball with the number 3.

"Now we put it in the machine, and once your numbers have been drawn step up to the stage, and get your game on, winners, be sure to retrieve your ball back by the end of the duel so we can do it again in the second set of matches" instructed Art.

"All right, now step up and put your balls in the machine" said Art as he was the first to go as the first set of numbers were being calculated.

"Starting todays duel will be participant number 4, Bennett 'Ben' Bark, and his opponent is participant number 12, the maiden with no name from the east" announced Abby.

Turns out Bens opponent was the same person who stomped on his feet last week, much to Ben's delight as he wanted to teach this punk a lesson.

"Don't think I forgot what you did last week" said Ben, "I had hope you didn't cause trust me when I say you deserve much worse for what you done" said the neko.

"What did I ever do to offend you" demanded Ben, "Play dumb all you want, but be prepared to suffer the consequences" said the neko before the pair shouted duel.

"Ladies first, I play, Silent Magician LV 4 in attack mode, I then set 2 cards face down, and end my turn" said the neko.

"I draw!" shouted Ben, "Good, cause for every card you draw, my Silent Magician gains a spell counter, which increases her attack points by 500" said the neko.

"Good to know, but it won't do you any good, when I summon, Elemental Hero Sparkman, in attack mode" said Ben.

"Now attack Silent Magician with Spark Blast" ordered Ben, "I activate my spell card, Block Attack, I target one of your monsters on the field and switch it to defense mode" said the neko.

"Nothing I can do about that, I play one card face down, and end my turn" said Ben, "Draw. I play the magic card, Pot of Greed, and draw 2 cards" said the neko.

"I summon, Magicians Valkyria, in attack mode, and have her attack your Sparkman" said the kitsune as she destroyed Ben's monster, "Next I'll have Silent Magician attack you directly, go White Magic Attack!" shouted the neko, hitting Ben with some major damage.

"Gr, if that's how you want to play, so be it, draw!" shouted Ben.

"I play the magic card, Polymerization, and fuse both Featherman and Burst Lady in my hand to summon, the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" shout Ben.

"Attack, Flame Wingman and destroy her Magician's Valkyria" said Ben as he destroyed the most annoying monster in the Dark Magician archetype.

"You jerk!" hissed the neko, "There's more, when Flame Wingman destroys a monster, you take damage equal to that monsters attack points out of your life points" said Ben as Flame Wingman loomed before the neko as it initiated his attack right in her face.

Knocking not only her witches hat off, the mysterious duelist had lost her neko mask in the process, revealing who else, but Asia as she began to realize her disguise failed.

"Asia? Asia, what are you doing here?" asked Ben, "Originally I wanted to surprise you, throughout this tournament, you know have a romantic duel where we supported on another" said Asia.

"But after seeing that thieving snake woman plant a kiss on you, I decided to remind you of who your woman was, and why Hell hath no fury then a maidens scorn" said Asia.

"Asia, please calm down, it's all a huge misunderstanding" said Ben as he felt he was in hot water by the minute.

"Save it, for after I not only beat you, but win this tournament, I'm going to have you castrated so you may never cheat on me again" said Asia, "Ain't that a little too harsh" said Ben as he crossed his legs and covered his crotch.

"No! Now it's my turn" said Asia as she drew a card from her deck.

"I play the magic card, Spell Power Grasp, and place another spell counter on Silent Magician LV4" said Asia increasing her monsters attack.

"This card also allows me to add another Spell Power Grasp from my deck to my hand, but I can only activate this effect once per turn, now Silent Magician, attack Flame Wingman" said Asia as she destroyed one of Ben's monster in one turn.

"I play one card face down, and end my turn" said Asia, "I draw" said Ben as he still had to deal with Silent Magician's power boosting effect.

"I'll set 2 cards face down, and set Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode, I end my turn" said Ben.

"Draw, and now I play my Spell Power Grasp, giving my Silent Magician LV4 a total of 5 spell counters" said Asia as Ben began to gulp in fear what might come next.

"And now I sacrifice my Silent Magician LV4 in order to summon, Silent Magician LV8" said Asia as she wowed the crowd and Ben with a powerful monster this turn.

"She might not be blessed with boosting her power like Silent Magician LV4, but she makes up for it with not only with her own attack, but unique effect of being unaffected by any of your spell cards from here on" said Asia.

"Now attack his Clayman" said Asia, "Sorry Asia, but I activate my trap card, Mirror Force, this card not only negates your attack, but destroys all your face up monsters too" said Ben.

"Sorry Ben, but I had a trap of my own, Dust Tornado, this not only destroys your trap, but I get to set a trap or spell card of my own from my hand" said Asia as Ben was helpless to protect his own monster.

"It's your turn" said Asia as Ben let out a deep breath before drawing.

"I play the magic card, Fusion Recovery, this let's me return one Polymerization, and a monster that I had used previously" said Ben as he got Burst Lady in his hand as well.

"Is that all" asked Asia, "No, then I also activate, Monster Reincarnation, by ditching one card, I get to bring back a monster from my graveyard to my hands, and I'm choosing to bring back Clayman" said Ben.

"Now let's do this from the top, I fuse Elemental Hero Burst Lady and Clayman to summon, Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster, in defense mode" said Ben.

"You did all that to summon a mid-tier monster, I was honestly expecting more" said Asia, "Well it's a good thing Rampart Blaster has a special ability of attack your life points directly, when she's in defense mode, granted the damage she deals is cut in half, but it gets the job done, so go and do your thing Rampart Blaster, with bazooka barrage" said Ben as Asia was hit by an unexpected attack.

"I place one card face down, and end my turn" said Ben, "Now this is where it get's personal" said Asia as she drew a card.

"I play the magic card, Graceful Charity, I draw 3 cards from my deck, but I have to discard 2" said Asia.

"Now to start things off, I'm going to play the magic card, Block Defense, this forces you to switch a monster you control from Defense to attack mode" said Asia as this got Ben to panic.

"Silent Magician, do me a favor and destroy that armored floozy of his" said Asia as she destroyed another of Ben's monster with low effort, and bringing his life points to match Asia's.

"And next I'm going to activate a trap card from my last turn, Call of the Haunted, to bring back a monster you've yet to see" said Asia as a new form of energy enveloped the field.

"Behold, my ace monster, and mascot to my deck, Dark Magician Girl!" exclaimed Asia as most of the male spectators began to cat call her monster.

"It's over Ben, one attack of my Dark Magician Girl and you're out of the count" said Asia as Ben could only stand in place all tense.

"Attack, Dark Magician Girl" said Asia, "Activate trap, Back to the Front!" shouted Ben as something came crashing from space, ready to defend Ben from a fatal blow as he played the one hero that was out of this world.

"This trap card allows me to return one monster from my graveyard in defense position on the field, and I couldn't think of a better choice than my Elemental Hero Neos" said Ben.

"Wait a minute, when did you get this cards" asked Asia, "I bought it off the Commander when he was printing out new cards to add to his deck, along with the monsters that best support this hero" said Ben.

"So Commander, I salute you for giving the chance to be the one to premiere this card to the public" said Ben as he drew a new card from his deck.

"And look what I got here, I play one of those new monsters I was talking about, some come on out, Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" said Ben.

"What do you plan to do with that oversize vole" asked Asia, "Simple, I'm going to use him to fuse with Neos, so get going you 2" said Ben.

"What do you mean, you need a polymerization in order to fusion summon a monster" said Asia with an accusing finger, "Not with Neos or the Neo-Spacian cards, because they can all be summoned through a little something called contact fusion, so let's give a big hand for Elemental Hero Grand Neos" said Ben.

"And now that he's out on the field his special effect activates, where I can choose one card on your field and return it back to your hand, and the card I'm choosing is Silent Magician LV8" said Ben as Asia's biggest beat stick was sent packing in her hand.

"And now I'll have Elemental Hero Grand Neos attack your Dark Magician Girl, hit her with Ignition Trigger" said Ben as his monster lunged forward with his giant drill and sent Asia's monster to the graveyard.

"The only drawback about playing the Neos Fusion is that by the end of the turn, I got to return him back to my extra deck" said Ben as his field was now bare like Asia as this could be anyone's game now by next draw.

"I summon, Berry Magician Girl, in attack mode and have her attack you directly" said Asia as the tyke monster flew up to Ben and bonked him on his head for poultry damage.

"I end my turn" said Asia, "I draw" said Ben as he may finally end this duel with his last summon.

"I summon Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin, and activate his effect, if you have a monster in your hand that's has weaker or equal to the attack of Aqua Dolphin, it automatically gets destroyed" said Ben as he got lucky when he found Raging Flame Sprite in Asia's hand, destroying her monster.

"Additionally, you lose 500 points of damage if my effect was a success" said Ben as he finally end the duel at long last.

"And the winner to this duel was none other than Ben Bark, let's give him a hand people" announced Abby as Ben decided to approach Asia.

"Asia, are you all right" asked Ben, "No I'm not you jerk" said Asia with a pout.

"Can we please talk this through" asked Ben, "No" said Asia as she turned tail and walked off the stage with Ben trying to talk to her.

"Moving on, we go to the drawing lots for our next contestants of the second round today, which are participant number 5, Beans and his opponent is participant number 15, Lady Anastasia Spear-Heart" said Abby

Stepping up to the field, Beans recognized Anastasia as the heiress who shot him and his group a dirty look last week and the very same one today.

"Great, my first opponent just had to be with a damn hybrid, of all subhumans" said Anastasia, "Cry me a river" said Beans as he was not interested in this heiress banter as they both shouted duel.

"Go on, ladies first" said Bean, "Like ew" said Anastasia with a disgusted look on her face as she draw.

"I summon, Harpie Lady #3 in attack mode" said Anastasia, "I also play one card face down and end my turn".

"I draw, and I'll start by playing the magic card, Double Summon, this allows me to summon 2 normal monsters on my field for this turn" said Beans as he activated the card on the field.

"And I summon, The Six Samurai- Yariza and Nisashi, and now both of their effects activate, whenever I have another Six Samurai monster on the field with a different name, I can activate each of their unique effects, starting with Yariza, who can attack your directly" said Beans as his monster plunged his beam whipped katana into Anastasia's sternum.

"And next I have Nisashi attack, and use his effect to attack twice during battle, with him destroying your Harpie Lady" said Beans as he destroyed Anastasia's monster.

"And then you directly" said Beans as his monster didn't budge, "On the turn Harpie Lady #3 is destroyed in battle, that monster that attacked her can't attack for the next 2 turns" explained Anastasia.

"Alright, I'll set one card face down, and end my turn" said Beans, "I draw, and I play Cyber Harpie Lady in attack mode" said Anastasia.

"And now I'll have my monster attack that samurai of yours who attacked me directly" said Anastasia as she was ready to destroy Beans, Yariza only for Nisashi to step in and take the hit.

"What gives!" exclaimed Anastasia, "If a six samurai monster would be attacked for battle, I can change the target to a different six samurai monster" said Beans.

"I draw, and now I summon, Chamberlain of the Six Samurai in defense mode, and now that I got another six samurai monster out, I can send Yariza to attack you directly once more" said Beans as his monster slide past Anastasia's monsters once more and plunged his weapon into her gut before retreating.

"I'll set one card face down, and end my turn" said Beans, "I draw, and now I play the magic card, Monster Reborn, to bring back my Harpie Lady #3, and then I summon Harpie Lady #1 from my hand, and her effect activates, where every Wind monster gains an additional 300 attack points" said Anastasia.

"Cyber Harpie Lady, destroy that mouth breathers Yariza already" said Anastasia, "I activate my trap, Wall of Disruption, and I can only activate it when my opponents monster declares an attack, this trap causes the attacking monster to loose 800 attack points for every monster on the field" said Beans.

"Cease fire!" exclaimed Anastasia in horror, "Too late, your Cyber Harpie Lady not only failed to destroy my monster, but gets destroyed herself, and you loose another 1000 life points" said Beans.

"Face it you snobby princess, you may have had a birds view from the sky looking down on everyone, including us hybrids, but right here, you're on the same ground level like the rest of us, difference being that I'll be the one to make you eat dirt" said Beans.

"That's heiress your abomination, and I've had enough of your barbs, so prepare my wrath when I send Harpie Lady #3 to attack your Yariza" said Anastasia as she finally destroyed Beans monster.

"I end my turn, and soon I'll be ending this duel" said Anastasia, "Blah-blah you little... I draw" said Beans.

"I'll start by playing Pot of Greed, this let's me draw 2 cards" said Beans as he drew the 2 cards he needed to end this duel.

"Now I activate my second magic card, Double Summon, and play my, Future Samurai, so I can summon him again" said Beans, "What the hell are you talking about, that was a waste of a good spell card you idiot" said Anastasia.

"On the surface maybe, but you see, my monster is in actuality a Gemini monster, whose Gemini effect can only be activated at the cost of a normal summon, but thanks to Double Summon, I easily bypass that slow activation on this turn" said Beans.

"And now I activate my Future Samurai's effect, by banishing a monster in my graveyard I can destroy your face up monster, say your Harpie Lady #3" said Beans as he destroyed Anastasia's monster.

"And because it was a monster effect, my monster is still able to attack you directly, so go Future Samurai, attack with Beam Saber Slash" said Beans as he beat Anastasia and won the duel.

"Grr, I can't believe I got my ass kicked by a lowly abomination" said Anastasia, "Leave with whatever dignity you have left, less of course you want me to literally kick dirt in your eyes" said Beans as his opponent stormed off the playing field as Beans exited the stage calm and collected.

"Talk about an intense duel people, but the game still goes on, so let's move on to the next duel" said Abby.

"Alright the next duelists will be number 9, the Kitsune of California and number 10, Hank the Tank Buster" announced Abby as everyone focused on the next 2 duelist.

"Why wear the mask little girl, it's not gonna intimidate me" said Hank as he was really a meathead through and through.

"I don't have to explain myself" said the Kitsune, "Whatever it's time to go, and seeing how I am a gentlemen, ladies first" said Hank.

"Very kind of you, now I draw. I set one monster down in defense mode, then I set 2 cards down and end my turn" said the kitsune.

"Cute, but not good. I play the spell card, Cost Down, for this turn only, all monsters in my hand have their levels lowered down by 2, which means I can summon, Light Bringer Lucifer, in attack mode" said Hank.

"And now I'll have my monster attack whatever it is you have defending you, attack!" exclaimed Hank as the monster he destroyed was none other than Dharc the Dark Charmer being forced to flip up and negate Hank's attack.

"Hey, what gives!" demanded Hank, "The monster you attempted to destroy was Dharc the Dark Bringer, and when you were trying to attack him, you ended up activating his flip effect, which let's me control one of your Dark attribute monsters while he remains face up on my field" said the kitsune.

"Grr. I'll set one card down and end my turn" said Hank, "Draw! I play Pot of Greed, this let's me draw 2 cards" said the kitsune as she added more cards to her hand.

"Now by sending Dharc and Lucifer from my field to the graveyard, I can now special summon, Familiar-Possessed – Dharc in attack mode" said the kitsune.

"By doing so I can add one level 3 or 4 light attribute spellcaster from my deck to my hand, so now I summon, Lyna the Light Charmer, in attack mode to my field" said the kitsune.

"Now my monsters, attack this man directly" said the kitsune, "Hold on, I play a trap card, Mirror Force, this not only negates your attack, but also destroys all your monsters and you lose life points equal to half their attack points" said Hank.

"I don't think so, I play Dust Tornado, this destroys one spell or trap card on your field, say your Mirror Force" said the Kitsune as she was able to land a devastating blow to Hank as he recoiled from the blow he took.

"Additionally, I get to set a new spell or trap card from my hand once Dust Tornado's effect have resolved" said the kitsune as she played one more card down, before ending her turn.

"Alright, I'll give you that, but now it's time for me to give my all, and I'll start by playing the monster, Atlantean Pikeman, and then I play Monster Reborn so that I can bring back, my Light Bringer Lucifer from the graveyard" said Hank.

"And now that I got my monsters back, I go straight to the offensive, by having Atlantean Pikeman destroy your Light Charmer" said Hank as he destroyed one of the kitsune's monsters.

"And now I'll have Lucifer return the favor after she was done dirty a few turns back" said Hank, "Not so fast, I have a trap card known as Scrap Iron Scarecrow, this stops one attack this turn, and afterwards I can set my trap card again" said the kitsune.

"Heh, fine you live just a little longer, but come hell or high water, I'll have a monster ready to beef up and take down your monster by the end of next turn" said Hank.

"In your dreams, draw. I play the magic card, Block Attack, which let's me target one monster on the field in attack mode and change it to defense mode, say like your Lucifer" said the Kitsune.

"And next I'm going to activate my Wonder Wand and equip to Dharc, increasing his attack points by 500" said the Kitsune.

"And next I'll have him attack your Lucifer while it's down, and because of how I summoned him earlier, he gains piercing battle damage effect and deals damage to your life points" said the Kitsune.

"Your monster can do what!" exclaimed Hank, "You heard me, and the cherry on top is him gaining an additional 500 attack points when I reveal my face down trap card, Reinforcements" said the kitsune as she destroy the man's monster once more and left his life points near empty.

"I end my turn" said the kitsune, "That's it you little brat, you poked the bear, now get ready to be clawed, draw!" shouted Hank.

"I play the magic card, Double Summon, so now I can play my, Phantom Gryphon and Mystery Shell Dragon in attack mode, and now prepare to lose when I send all my monsters out to attack you, starting with Mystery Shell Dragon" said Hank.

"I activate my face down trap, Scrap Iron Scarecrow" said the Kitsune as she managed to survive one of the three attacks that were coming her way.

"Perfect, cause now my Gryphon can still attack you worry free" said Hank as his monster was prepared to attack, but then the kitsune's monster was already off the field.

"I activate my Wonder Wand second ability to send it along with my monster to the graveyard so I can not only stop your attack, but also draw 2 cards from my deck as a bonus" said the kitsune.

"That, still leaves me Pikeman who can still openly attack you for this turn" said Hank, "So you think, cause one of the cards I drew from my deck was Watapon, and when I draw him from my deck by a card effect, I get to special summon him onto the field, and I play him in defense mode" said the kitsune as her monster took the last blow from Hank's monster, that would have otherwise lowered her life points.

"God… damnit! Huff, I end my turn" said Hank as he snorted from his nostrils, "I draw" said the kitsune as she drew the card she needed to end this duel.

"I play the magic card, Dark Hole, this spell card destroys all monsters on the field one I play it" said the kitsune as she completely wiped the board, "And now I summon, Familiar-Possessed – Hiita, onto the field and have her attack your life points directly, go with fireball attack" said the Kitsune as her monster not only blasted, but left her opponent burnt as he was knocked back and out for the count.

"And with that ladies and gentlemen, the Kitsune of California has won the 3rd match of the day, while our participants exit the field, we'll be selecting our next duelist which are…" said Abby.

"Participant number 14, Lord Andrew Bates, and participant number 3, Art Legend" said Abby as the crowd began to cheer loudly over the announcement of Art's name.

"What gives, don't these people know that they have the honor of baring their eyes on greatness itself" scoffed the young narcissist lord as he had to play second fiddle to Art as he drowned in the adulation.

"Art, please we'd like to get this duel going" said Abby as she snapped Art from his stupor, "I agree, now get ready to be brought down a peg you wannabe" said Andrew.

"Wannabe, now I feel like you're insulting me for the wrong reasons" said Art as he feign being butt hurt, "I'll do more than that when I beat you, and the crowd will be chanting my name once they realize they were cheering for the wrong person who entered this stupid tournament" said Andrew.

"Oh, now it's personal, so tell you what, you can go first buddy" said Art, "Gladly, I play the magic card, Double Summon and I start by playing, Charcoal Impachi, but only so I can tribute him for, Millenium Shield" said Andrew as he had a literal wall protecting him now.

"I'll set 2 cards face down and end my turn" said Andrew as he saw Art yawn over his display as if it was boring.

"All right time to end this, draw!" said Art as he examined his cards before setting his game into action.

"I start by playing 2 cards face down, then I summon, Red-Eyes Black Chick, but only so I sacrifice him in order to summon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon" said Art as he played his ace card on turn one already as it let out a fierce roar.

"And then I play the magic card, Inferno Fire Blast, this allows Red-Eyes to do damage to your life points based on his original attack, at the cost of his normal attack this turn" said Art as he blew a big chunk of the elitist life points without having to destroy his monsters.

"And next I reveal my 2 face downs, Dragon Nails and Ectoplasmer, Dragon Nails increases Red-Eyes attack points by 600, giving him a total of 3000 attack points, but that's only for show, as now I can use Ectoplasmer, by tributing one monster on my field, I do damage to your life points equal to half of my monsters current attack points" said Art as he once more blew a massive chunk out of Andrew's life points as he could literally be taken out in one blow by next turn if he's not careful.

"And finally I activate the magic card, Sparks, this does 200 damage to your life points" said Art with a smug smile as he took out Andrews last remaining life points away as the man hunched over and was utterly humiliated after the big game he boasted.

"By the by, you lose" said Art with smug smile, "And there you have it people, Art Legend did it, he performed the first successful one-turn kill duel in this tournament, truly incredible" cheered Abby as the crowed was going wild for Art as he showed boated off the stage as the elitist had to be carried out by Eye Gouge and Snap.

"Commander, that was incredible and yet so friggin scary at the same time" said Ben as he finally got back from trying to talk to Asia, with mixed results.

"Yeah, starting the last round of the tournament I think we should be required to shuffle our decks before the start of the game" said Art as he stuck his tongue out.

"So how'd things go with Asia" asked Art, "Not good. You and Eliza" asked Ben, "We'll get there".

After another 4 rounds of duels, it came to the second match of the semifinals in todays duel as the crowd was excited to see the outcome.

"Thanks for coming back to witness the last games we got for your amusement today people, and we'd like to welcome all those who have decided to join us now as these'll be the final matches before we settle things in the Queendom of Agora's castle next week once we've weeded the rest of the riff-raft" said Abby.

"So continuing us on, we got the winners from the first match, versus the winner of the second match, Ben Bark and Marshal Beans" announced Abby as the 2 duelist walked on stage to a surprisingly warm crowd.

"Ben, here's some free words of wisdom before we begin" said Beans, "I'm listening" said Ben.

"I don't intend to go easy on you, or anyone else for that matter since the winner after this match will most likely get to face off against the commander in the finals, and frankly speaking I'd rather not be left out on such a glorious opportunity to test my might and skill" said Beans.

"So come at me, and give me your all, or this won't be as fun, much less rewarding" said Beans, "I agree, let's duel!" said Ben.

"I'll go first and I'll start by playing the magic card, Double Summon, so I can play 2 Six Samurai monsters, so come on out Kamon and Zanji, in attack mode before I finally end my turn" said Beans.

"You were talking a big game just now, but clearly you got to practice what you preach" said Ben as he drew a card from his hand.

"I play Homunculus the Alchemic Being, and activate his effect to change his attribute from light to fire" said Ben, "Is that all" asked Beans as he found the effect to be very anticlimactic.

"Nope, cause now I play Polymerization, and I'll use it to fuse my Homunculus with my Elemental Hero Heat, so I can summon my Elemental Hero Nova Master" said Ben.

"Nova Master, eh. Tell me Ben, just how much money did you pay the Commander for that card" asked Beans, "About 20 bronze coins, but that's besides the point, the point of the matter is, I can now attack your Six Samurai Kamon" said Ben.

"I activate my monsters special ability to have Zanji take the blow instead" said Beans as he lest a smaller portion of life points by sacrificing his monster instead.

"That's cool, but now you've got one less monster on the field, plus when Nova Master destroys a monster by battle, I'm allowed to draw a new card" said Ben.

"Whatever, now it's my turn" said Beans as he drew a new card.

"I now summon, Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, and I can special summon him to the field so long as I already have at least one Six Samurai monster prior, and now I move to my normal summon and play, Secret Six Samurai Fuma" said Beans.

"Hey Beans I really hate to be that guy, but you do know none of your monsters have attack points that even compare to Nova Master" said Ben.

"Not yet, but that's why I now summon a new breed of monsters I've yet to see anyone do in this tournament, and I start by sending Kamon, a Six Samurai Monster, and Fuma who happens to be a Tuner to the graveyard so that I may Synchro summon, Legendary Six Samurai Shi-En" said Beans as the last extra deck class monster entered the field.

"I really hate to harp on you like this, but your monster is still weaker than my monster" said Ben, "For now, I set one card face down and end my turn" said Beans.

"Draw. Ok, I'm going to start by summoning my Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode" said Ben.

"And next I'm going to have Nova Master attack your Shi-En" said Ben, "Not so fast, I'll have my Grandmaster take the blow instead" said Beans as he protected his ace monster one again.

"That's fine I guess. I set one card face down, and end my turn" said Ben as he drew a new card, "Draw. I play Pot of Greed, this let's me draw 2 cards" said Beans.

"It's over Ben, I now play the spell card Black Pendent, and equip it to Shi-En, raising his attack points by 500 attack points" said Beans as he raised his monsters attack points.

"Now go, Shi-En destroy Ben's elemental hero Nova Master" said Beans as he finally destroyed Ben's monster, "I end my turn".

"Draw! Oh yeah, I now play the magic card Pot of Greed, and get to draw 2 cards from my deck" said Ben, "Oh no you don't, I activate my Shi-En's other effect to not only negate, but destroy one of your spell cards this turn" said Beans.

"Well that blows, but it ain't gonna slow me down, since I now summon my, Elemental Hero Sparkman, in defense mode" said Ben.

"And now I set one card face down and end my turn" said Ben, "My turn, and I'll start by having Shi-En destroying your Clayman" said Beans as he destroyed Ben's monster.

"Your move" said Beans, "Yeah it is, and I'll start by playing my Wroughtweiler in defense mode, and next I get to play a magic card, Fissure" said Ben.

"Sorry, but I use Shi-En's effect to negate and destroy that card of yours" said Beans as the card in question was polymerization.

"That's fine, cause I needed to bait you out so that I can activate my face down, Compulsory Evacuation Device, this trap let's me target one monster on the field and return into to the hand, like say your Shi-En" said Ben as he returned Beans monster.

"And I guess I end my turn" said Ben, "And it'll be the end, draw!" shouted Beans.

"I summon, The Six Samurai- Irou, and I'll have him destroy that metallic mutt of yours" said Beans as his monster quickdraw his katana out of it's scabbard, and bisected Wroughtweiler.

"Thank you, you activated my monsters effect, which let's me return one polymerization and a monster that was previously used for a fusion summon, like say my Homunculus" said Ben.

"Whatever, I end my turn" said Beans, "Draw! Ok, I'll start by playing Homunculus in defense mode, and change his attribute to dark, and now I activate polymerization from my hand, and fuse my Elemental Hero Sparkman and Homunculus into, Elemental Hero Escuridao!" shouted Ben.

"This can't be good" said Beans, "Nope and it's about to get worse, since my monster gains 100 attack points per Elemental Hero Monster in the graveyard, and I've got a total of 4, giving my monster a total of 2900 attack points" said Ben with a smile.

"Now go, Escuridao, attack his Irou, with Sombra Stab!" shouted Ben as his monster made like Noob Saibot, and sent his monster to the Nether realm.

"Consider this my comeback" said Ben, "Don't be acting so smug now, draw!" shouted Beans, "I play Chamberlain of the Six Samurai in defense mode, I end my turn" said Beans.

"Draw! I play the magic card, Foolish Burial, and send a monster from my deck to the Graveyard, and the monster I send is my, Elemental Hero Necroshade" said Ben.

"So you raise your monsters attack points by another 100 points for what? My monster is still in defense mode leaving my life points safe by the end of next turn" said Beans.

"True, but here's the thing Beans, when Necroshade is in the graveyard, his effect activates making so that I can special summon any high level Elemental Hero monster without needing a tribute summon, so I'm going to summon my, Elemental Hero Bladedge in attack mode" said Ben.

"And you know what, like Necroshade, he too has an awesome effect that lets him conduct battle damage to your life points base on the difference of your monsters defense points" said Ben as Beans went wide eye.

"Go Bladedge, attack his Chamberlain" said Ben as his monster was brought down with his life points joining said monster.

"And lest we forget, I still have my Elemental Hero Escuridao on the field. Beans this was a tough and honorable game man" said Ben, "Agreed, you've proven yourself to be worthy and ready for your fight against the Commander Ben, now finish it" said Beans.

"Elemental Hero Escuridao, end this duel already" said Ben as his monster went forward landed a straight punch to Beans chest, ending the duel.

"Wow people, I thought the OTK duel from Art was intense, but this duel really sparked a second turn about, so let's give a big hand to both Ben for winning and Beans for being a good sport" announced Abby as the crowd genuinely cheered for Ben and Beans.

"Moving onto the next round, we've got Art Legend vs the Kitsune of California" said Abby as everyone cheered for the turn about duel that's about to start.

"Eliza, can we start this duel with you showing me your face, otherwise I shall halt this tournament till you comply" said Art as Eliza didn't put up a fuss as she pulled her hood down and showed her face to Art.

"Satisfied" asked Eliza, "No, not yet" said Art, "Will a kiss from Ben's sister make you feel better?".

"Not my type, but I guess if I had to choose from anyone, I guess Abby is on top of my list" said Art with smug smile, "You jerk, you're supposed to be my fiancé, and yet here you are kissing any girl who shows you a single act of kindness" said Eliza angrily.

"Pretty sure you've got that last bit of information backwards, also we ended our engagement peacefully" said Art, "Ugh, I wouldn't have let you end the engagement if it meant you'd go about being the world's biggest libertine" said Eliza angrily.

"Really? Me a libertine? Why not be blunt and call me man whore" said Art, "You are a man whore" commented Abby on the speaker.

"Am not!" Art said with rosy, red cheeks as he felt embarrass that she would announce such a false statement in front of all these people.

"I swear, I regret telling daddy not to throw that shotgun wedding, like how I regret not telling him to come here" said Eliza, "You don't mean that" said Art as he feared that it wouldn't take much for Lord Hector to perform said shotgun wedding.

"I do, like how I totally mean it when I say I'm gonna kick your ass harder than the time you got your ass kicked by the girls from the drama club after peeping on them" said Eliza.

"Hey that was an accident because no one bothered to notify they were going to change in the stage hall that day, plus I told you that in drunk confidence" said Art defensively.

"Whatever, it's time to duel" said Eliza, "Can we please before I have to forfeit out of shame and embarrassment" said Art.

"I'll start, and I'll start by setting one monster in defense mode, and play one card face down. I end my turn" said Eliza, "Fine then, draw!" shouted Art.

"I'll start by playing the magic card, Pot of Greed, which let's me draw 2 cards" said Art as he had everything he needed to start his combo.

"First I summon, the Red Eyes Wyvern in attack mode, and next I equip the spell card, Dragon Treasure, increasing my monsters attack and defense by 300. Now go Red Eyes Wyvern attack her monster" said Art as the monster Eliza had set was Hiita the Fire Charmer, completely destroying her monster.

"Sweet, I set one card down and end my turn" said Art, "I draw, and now I play the magic card, Brain Control, and at the cost of only 800 life points, I can take control your monster" said Eliza.

"This can't be good" said Art, "Oh, it's about to get worse since now I'll use your monster to attack you directly" said Eliza as Art's monster lunged forward and took a bite out of his shoulder as he screamed in pain.

"And next I activate my face down trap card, Spiritual Wind Art- Miyabi, by sacrificing one Wind attribute monster, I can target one card you control and send it to the bottom of the your deck" said Eliza as the card in question was his Graverobber.

"And I still have my normal summon phase, so now I play Familiar Possessed- Dharc in attack mode, and have him attack you directly" as Eliza's monster had sent their familiar to attack Art right in the groin.

"I said no attacking below the belt" wheezed Art as he nursed his unborn children as he was now down to only 50 life points.

"I end my turn, and officially end our relationship so I can live with my husbando" said Eliza, "Wait, who's your husbando?" asked Art as he finally shook off his injury.

"You're looking at him, sure I like Dharc originally cause he reminded me of you, but unlike you, he's not some womanizing philanderer, he's loyal and more better looking, more edgy, and more emo than you" said Eliza.

"I'll give you the good looks, but to say someone is more emo and edgy than me, well then I guess the gloves are off" said Art as he got back on his feet.

"I draw, and I'll start by placing 3 cards face down on the field, and then I play the spell card Emergency Provisions, and destroy all my cards to recoup my life points" said Art as he raised his life points back up by 3000.

As for the cards he destroyed, one was Foolish burial, one was Jar of Greed, and the last one was Statue of the Wicked, meaning he had a means to defend himself this turn.

"I end my turn" said Art, "Very well, I draw, and I'll start by having Familiar Possessed-Dharc destroying that token of yours" said Eliza, "And next I play one card down and end my turn".

"Draw! I play the magic card, Red Eyes Fusion, this let's me summon one red eyes fusion monster using materials from either my hand, field, or deck, so come on out, Black Skull Dragon" said Art.

"And that's not all, because I used Red Eyes Fusion, the fusion monster on the field's name becomes Red Eyes Black Dragon" said Art, "What good does changing your monsters name like that for a fusion summon do for you" asked Eliza.

"Remember how I played card face down at the start of the duel, well it just so happens I finally get to play it at long last, presenting the magic card, Inferno Fire Blast" said Art as he revealed the one spell card that'll end the duel indefinitely.

"Not so fast, I play the magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon, and destroy that pesky spell card of yours!" shouted Eliza, "Damn, guess I'll just end my turn here" said Art.

"Draw. I reveal my face down trap card, Dark Spirit Art- Greed, by tributing a dark attribute monster, I can draw 2 cards" said Eliza as her husbando was sent to the graveyard.

"Kinda shady for you to send your husbando to the grave like that" said Art as he was disbelief by Eliza's actions.

"Oh please, like you wouldn't do the same thing to your husbando or waifu" said Eliza, "I'd literally would have Sam send me back to her father and damn me to the most darkest pit Hell has to offer before I betray the love of either Ruby or Naofumi" said Art defensively.

"Grr, and yet you go about being the biggest philandering man whore this world had to offer when you got a young maiden in waiting willing to settle down with you, you jerk" said Eliza.

"Hey guys, let's save this conversation for couples therapy, you're in the middle of a duel remember" said Abby.

"Fine, because now I activate the spell card, Monster Reborn, to bring back Dharc from the graveyard in defense mode" said Eliza as she returned her monster back on the front lines.

"So what was the point of playing that combo of yours" asked Art, "The point of this combo was for me finally set one card down and end my turn" said Eliza.

Sensing that Eliza definitely had a trap in store, Art, had to play his next move carefully as he drew a card.

"Sweet, all right, I'm finally going to turn things around, now I set one card face down, and end my turn" said Art, "Fine, play the coward that you secretly are, it's about time someone emasculated this philanderer, it's my turn. Draw!" shouted Eliza.

"How hilarious, you activated my trap card, Mind Haxorz, by paying 500 life points, I can take a peak at all the cards you have in your and set on the field" said Art.

"Fine take a look" said Eliza as her hand contained a, Raging Flame Sprite, Lyna the Light Charmer, and a Magic Drain, while the card she had face down was a Magical Cylinder.

"Sweet, looks like I know how to finally turn this duel around and beat you" said Art, "You wish, I summon Raging Flame Sprite, and have her attack your life points directly" said Eliza as her monster flew up and smacked Art on the head.

"Hey!" exclaimed Art as he rubbed his head, "And now I set one card face down and end my turn" said Eliza.

"Cool, cool, draw" said Art as he finally drew a card that'll change this duel around, "I play the magic card, Pot of Extravagance, by send any number of cards in 3, I can draw a card from my deck, and I choose to send 6 cards down to give me 2 fresh cards".

"I'll start by playing a spell card of mine called, Re-Fusion, by paying 800 life points, I can bring back one of the fusion monsters I had to toss out and special summon it to this side of the field" said Art.

"Did you forget how I played Magic Drain last turn, so unless that other card you draw was a magic card, you can kiss Re-Fusion goodbye" said Eliza as she successfully destroyed Art's spell card.

"Thank you, I was hoping you'd fall for the bait" said Art, "What!" exclaimed Eliza, "That's right, I needed to make an executive choice when it came to my next attack, and low and behold, you became my accomplice".

"So now I play a different magic card, Dragon Shield, and I see no better monster to equip to Black Skull Dragon" said Art as their appeared to be no effect on his monster.

"And now Black Skull Dragon, attack Raging Flame Sprite" said Art, "Did you forget how I had a trap card set up" said Eliza as she activated Magic Cylinder on to see her trap fall through.

"What!?" exclaimed Eliza, "Surprised, it's all thanks to the spell card I had equipped to my monster, making him immune to monster and card effects set on the field, however the payoff is that any battle damage conducted with this monster becomes zero" explained Art.

"Whatever, that- it don't matter, it means you can't hurt my monsters or cause damage to my life points" said Eliza, "And the same could be said about you, more so I already got my cannon on the field at no risk to injury towards yours truly, and it's only a matter of time till I play another card to turn things around, something I could afford doing" said Art.

"So what, that doesn't mean nothing to me" said Eliza, "It should, it means I've got a monster who can counter any of your card effects and wipe out the board clear for me till I'm ready to plan my assault, face it Eliza, this is the end for your no matter how you see it, if it's not within the next 3 turns of mine it'll be through deck out and you having a brick hand that can't possibly help you, now I end my turn" said Art.

"Draw" shouted Eliza as she knew Art's words had merit, and could do nothing about accept pray for a miracle draw herself.

"I play Aussa the Earth Charmer, in defense mode, and end my turn" said Eliza, "Draw" said Art as he smiled at the card he drew.

"Correction, this duel will end by next turn" said Art as that sounded ominous to Eliza, "I play the magic card, A Feather of the Phoenix, now by dropping one card from my hand, I can return one card back to the top of my deck, I end my turn".

"Draw" said Eliza as she drew the magic card she needed to keep her defenses up.

"I Play Lyna the Light Charmer in defense mode, and then I activate the magic card, Swords of Revealing Light, now for the next 3 turns your monster can't attack me, meaning I'll have more than enough time to rebuild my defenses" said Eliza.

"It matters not Eliza, for the next card I'm about to draw will finally end this duel, draw" said Art.

"Now, I play the magic card, Inferno Fire Blast" said Art as his Red Eyes Monster prepared it's attack as Eliza looked at him in defeat before she was finally hit and her life points dropped to zero.

"That's game" said Art as he was now greeted by the sounds of people booing and damning him.

"What the hell" Art asked in disbelief as he saw Eliza sobbing before running away, "Eliza wait!".

"Remember hero, no matter who you are, playing with a young maidens heart always makes you the bad guy, so please move off the stage and accept your punishment as the scoundrelling scumbag you are" said Abby.

"So harsh" cried Art as he felt really offended as people began to throw confectionary snacks and drinks at him.

"With that out of the way, can we have Rod Bark and the rising hero from the Kingdom of Terra, the Awesome George enter the arena" said Snap.

Expecting to hear some warm cheers from his team, Rod couldn't help but over hear the greater cheer his opponent received.

"Thanks guys, your awesome, in fact your more awesome than me" said George as he was greeted by not only cheers but raised banners and flags waving.

"Oh sorry about that, don't mind them, they're just my friends from the guild hall" said George, "R-right" said Rod.

"Anyways let's duel" said George, "Right, I'll go first, I play Blazewing Butterfly in Attack mode, I set one card face down and end my turn" said Rod.

"That might've been a trap you had played for me to trip on, so I guess I'll do me the favor and take caution to the wind" said George as he drew a card from his deck.

"I set one card down in defense mode, and play 2 cards face down, and then I send my turn" said George.

"All right then, now it's my turn, and I'll start by activating my face down trap card, Ultimate Offering, at the cost of 500 life points, any player is allowed an additional normal set or summoning during there turn, so I'm going to start by summoning Goggle Golem, and by sacrificing 1000 life points, I summon both my monsters again to activate their Gemini effects" said Rod.

"Now Goggle Golem has enough power to destroy whatever monster you have in defense mode; Attack with Golem punch" ordered Rod as he destroyed Scapeghost.

"Thanks, now I can summon as many number of Scapeghost tokens on my side of the field" said George as he now had 5 Scapeghost tokens lined up in defense mode as the young man received a whole lot of cheer from his fans and guild members for an excellent play.

"You know what, that's fine, cause I still got Blazewing Butterfly on the field to destroy one of your tokens" said Rod as he did so before ending his turn.

"Now for my comeback, I tribute one of my Scapeghost to not only summon Patrician of Darkness, but use your Ultimate offering to tribute summon another monster, come on out Malevolent Mech- Goku En!" said George.

"Malevolent Mech, attack his Goggle Golem" ordered George as his monster obliterated Rods strongest monster on the field.

"And now Patrician of Darkness, destroy Blazewing Butterfly" said George as Rod lost another monster along with a good chunk of his life points as well.

"I draw!" exclaimed Rod as he looked at the card he had in his hand before getting an idea to turn this duel around.

"I start by playing the magic card, Monster Reincarnation, now by discarding one card I can bring back a monster from me graveyard to my hand, and the monster I happen to choose was Blazewing Butterfly" said Rod as he summoned his monster again.

"Once more I sacrifice 500 life points to activate his Gemini effect, and now by sending him to the graveyard I can special summon one of my Gemini monsters back onto the field, with his effect already activated, so come on out, Dark Valkyrie!" exclaimed Rod.

"And now I activate her effect by adding one spell counter on her, which gives her an additional 300 attack points, which is more than enough to destroy your Patrician of Darkness" said Rod as his plan was perfect; he'll start by destroying one monster in battle, and another with his monsters secondary effect, leaving George on the defense.

"Nice try, but Patrician of Darkness has the effect of letting me choose what monsters my opponents can attack, and I have to say I choose Malevolent Mech instead" said George as he fans began to cheer and praise him.

With nothing else left to do, Rod could only halfheartedly lay one card face down to at least psych George out from attacking, before ending his turn.

"Hey guys, what do you think I should do, play it safe, or end this duel already" George asked towards his fan as he basked in their cheer and encouragement to end this duel already.

"All right, but if it's a trap, I expect you guys to cheer for me even louder" said George as he turned back to deal with Rod.

"Malevolent Mech, attack Rod directly and hope that we can finally end this duel" said George as Rod took the heated attack head on before he fell onto his knee's in defeat.

"Damn it" jeered Rod under his breath as he felt frustrated about not getting into the finals along with Art and Ben, but before he could dwell on such negative emotions, he felt a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"You did great bro, you made into the preliminaries" praised Ben, "Hell yeah he did, look out people cause both of my brothers are certified badasses" said Heather.

"Agreed, frankly the fact that any of us being able to get here is something to take pride in" said Beans, "Yeah Rod, you were definitely awesome out there" said Asha.

"Thanks guys. I really needed to hear that" said Rod as he and everyone remained oblivious to how George was glaring at them.

"All right, you guys can put me down now, let's clear up so the last duelist can play" said George with a forced smile as he felt bitter and envious to how Rod received genuine unconditional love from his friends and family.

"We're down to the last duel of the day, so be excited for after this duel we'll have our final broadcast in the Queen of the Damn's Castle. So Make some noise Kit Mundy, and Taylor Lulamoon" said Abby.

"Hey there, kinda feels like we're under a lot of pressure here aren't we, being the finalist of today huh" said Taylor, "You can say that again, but that's what makes it invigorating" said Kit.

"Agreed, so let's duel" said Taylor as both activated their duel disks as drew their cards to their hand.

"I'll start by playing Lunalight Blue Cat in defense mode, end my turn" said Taylor.

"Draw! I play Machina Unclaspare, and activate his effect, by sending one Machina monster from my deck to the graveyard" said Kit as he searched for a monster he was going to use for later.

"Next I'll have Machina Unclaspare attack your Lunalight Blue Cat, go attack her with your omega beam rifle!" exclaimed Kit as his Machina monster destroyed Taylor's Lunalight monster.

"I'll set 2 cards down and end my turn" said Kit, "Pretty good, but now it's my turn, draw!" exclaimed Taylor.

"I now summon Lunalight White Rabbit in attack mode, and activate her effect, which lets me special summon back Lunalight Blue Cat in defense mode, which activate my monsters other effect, which doubles the attack points of one my Lunalight monster, other than Blue Cat so say my White Rabbit" said Taylor.

"Impressive, but not quite up to snuff" said Kit, "I'm not done, now I send from my hand to the graveyard, Lunalight Purple Butterfly, which increases the attack points of one of my monsters by a 1000 points" said Taylor as she instantly had herself a beefy monster on turn one.

"Now Lunalight White Rabbit, attack his Machina monster with your mochi mallet" said Taylor as she got to draw first blood on Kit.

"I'll set one card face down and end my turn" said Taylor, "Good, cause now it's my turn" said Kit as he drew a new card from his deck.

"I now play Machina Soldier in attack mode, and then use his effect that let's me special summon one more Machina monster from my hand so long as he's the only monster on the field, and I summon Machina Sniper in attack mode" said Kit as he managed to reclaim himself a new set of monsters in an instant.

"And now I'll start by having Machina Sniper attack your Lunalight White Rabbit, it's rabbit season time" said Kit as his monster nailed a perfect head shot on Taylors monster.

"And next I'll have Machina Soldier skin that kitty of yours" said Kit as once more he destroyed Taylors monster.

"By destroying Lunalight Blue Cat, you activate her second effect of letting me summon a brand new Lunalight monster from my deck to the field, so say hello to Lunalight Purple Butterfly" said Taylor as she played her monster in defense mode.

"And also I activate my trap card Lunalight Reincarnation Dance, which activates when you destroy one of my monsters in battle, which let's me add 2 Lunalight monster from my deck to my hand" said Taylor.

"Sounds good, but it's still my turn, and I'll end it by playing this magic card, Supply Squad, which lets me draw a new card whenever a monster of mine is destroyed in battle" said Kit.

"My turn" said Taylor as she drew a new card from her deck, but got a dud this time, which meant little for her since with a simply twitch of her muscle a small clamp device replaced that card for something to her liking.

"I play the magic card Polymerization, and fuse the 2 Lunalight monsters in my hand in order to play Lunalight Cat Dancer" said Taylor as she played a very powerful game changing monster this turn.

"And since this is still part of my main phase one, I activate her effect, by discarding one my Lunalight monsters on the field or in my hand, monsters that you control that would be destroyed by battle, won't be destroyed, but instead I get to attack all your monsters at least twice this turn" said Taylor as Kit began to pale.

"More so, Lunalight still has her effect activated when I tribute her to the graveyard, increasing my Cat Dancer's attack by another 1000 points" said Taylor.

In truth Kit was still 2 turns away from turning this duel around as the spell card he had down was to revive his Machina Defender, which would've helped him summon his Commander Covington, which would summon his Machina Force, his ace monster.

Without hesitation, Lunalight Cat Dancer needed only to attack Machina Sniper twice before Kit's life points finally dropped to zero.

"And there you have it, the last finalist in this tournament, we'll see you guys next week, where the champions will be playing inside of Queen Samantha's Castle, plus a few invites only, while the rest of you may enjoy it live on the radio, see you guys then" said Abby.

With those last bit of words, everyone cheered for anticipation as this tournament will finally end.

Samantha's Castle

The day had finally arrived for everyone to participate in the grand finale of Art's tournament as many people would tune in across the lands of all kingdoms for those who were not only loyal to Samantha the demon lord, but those outside as well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're all ready as those of us who are fortunate enough to be present are about to witness the final matches for Art's grand Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters Tournament" Abby said in a mic.

"My name is Abby, one of Queen Samantha's 7 Generals and today I'll be your host and main commentator on todays final matches, and with me on color commentary and FAQ's is Snap, another one of Samantha's 7 Generals, how are you doing today sir" asked Abby.

"I'm doing great Abby, if I'm honest, I feel something akin to being excited" said Snap, "I feel the same way, especially since we've got a nice audience of people present to witness todays event, including our boss, Queen Samantha herself" announced Abby as making a grand entrance in her magenta on teal green dress was Samantha as she made herself a spot on a throne at the middle of the tournament.

"If I recall, she'll be the one to handout todays prizes; Remind me again, what are they Snap?" asked Abby, "Today's grand prize will be a solid 24 karat gold replica of the millennium puzzle along with the being the proud owner to 3 out of the 4 prized copies to the Blue-Eyes White Dragons along with all the support cards to that rare deck" explained Snap.

"I'm still curious as to why Art made just 4 copies and is only giving out 3 of the 4 cards in one sitting as a grand prize" said Abby, "Art was dead set on actually making these duel monsters rare like in the original anime and manga adaptation when he recreated these cards in this world, and nothing was rare than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, especially when you consider that it's very flavor text reads that those cards are the pure absolute symbol of power" informed Snap.

"Then I guess whoever wins this tournament will not only be a winner, but literally the owner of the most powerful and rarest cards to date" said Abby, "Indeed, so let's not keep the folks at home waiting, and introduce todays first match" said Snap.

"In the blue corner, an upcoming hero from within the Kingdom of Terra, it's Awesome George" said Snap as he was given modest praise from the audience, which left the man pouting.

"And coming from the red corner, our very own Hero from Hell, and host of this tournament, Art Legend" said Abby as Art was showered in cheers from his friends, with some of the guest spectators tossing their panties at the man.

"Now just wait a damn minute, why the hell do you have an army of fangirls cheering for you, while I couldn't invite at least half of my friends" asked George with an accusing finger.

"First of all, I've nearly got a nation of fangirls, secondly they're all from the Immortan Amare, Immortals who swore to keep a peaceful, and trusting nation with us, so we can trust them to be here and present, you and your little entourage are not only adventurers wanting to fight Sam and her 7 Generals, but from our rival nation the Kingdom of Terra, so count your stars I don't disqualify you out of discrimination" said Art.

While everything he said was true, it none the less upset George as he began to growl at Art.

"Then prepared to get beaten in honor of my friends who can't be here" said George angrily, before both he and Art shouted 'Let's duel'.

"I'll start us off by playing my Elemental Hero Burst Lady in attack mode, then I'll set one card face down and end my turn" said Art.

"Fine by me, and I'll kick things off by playing a field spell, Zombie World" said George as he changed the terrain of the duel field.

"So long as this field spell of mine remained on the field, all monsters on the field and in the graveyard are now changed to zombie type" said George as Art's Sparkman began to rot away into a grey skinned, maimed, rotting hero.

"You heard him right folks, that one spell card changes not only the terrain, but the rules to the game itself" said Snap, "As should be expected as Zombie decks are infamous for using the graveyard as it's primary source of resource" said Abby.

"And next I play a monster card, Zombie Master, and I'll have him attack your zombified Sparkman" said George as his monster easily towered over Sparkman.

"And it gets better, since I now activate my monsters effect, now by sending a monster from my hand to the graveyard, I can special summon any zombie monster from our graveyards now" said George as he summoned Art's Sparkman to his field.

"Amazing, George wasted no time in utilizing his new field spell, and has already began using Art's monster against him" said Abby, "Things could definitely look shaky for Art, but knowing him, he may still pull through" said Snap.

"Now Sparkman, attack you're old master with necrosis lightning!" exclaimed George as Art was hit by a bolt of lightning and fell back.

While enjoying the brief cheers from his peers, it was shortly silenced by the roaring cheers for Art to get up and finish this duel, much to George's anger.

"You got me pretty good" Art said with a smile, "Shut up, I don't need your sympathy from the bad guy" said George.

"Shit, touchy ain't we. Regardless, I draw!" shouted Art as he began to smile.

"First of all, I play the magic card, Foolish Burial, to send one monster card from my deck to the graveyard" began Art.

"And now I get to activate my monsters effect, since the monster I discarded was Elemental Hero Necroshade, now I can summon a high level Elemental Hero without the need to tribute summon, and the monster I choose to play is Elemental Hero Bladedge" said Art.

"Did you forget, your monster still become zombie type whenever they hit the field" said George, "I didn't, just like how I didn't forget that Elemental Hero Bladedge was now the strongest monster on the field, so do your thing and bisect his Zombie Master" said Art as Bladedge dashed forward and lopped Zombie Master's head, clean off.

Seeing an amazing comeback got people rooting for Art, as this further upset George who was starting to form little bubbles in the corner of his mouth.

"I had no doubt in Art turning this duel around, even with the unfair advantage, Art still manage to pull through" said Abby, "And there's still plenty more to see" said Snap.

"This duel will end with you leaving the arena as loser that desperately needs to be cheered, mark my words" threatened George.

"Whoa, tone it back dude" said Art as he felt genuinely offended for once.

"Shut up, and watch as I set my Goblin Zombie in defense mode, followed by me activating my own Foolish Burial spell card; I end my turn!" stated George as he was starting to play sloppy for multiple reasons.

"That's fine by me, now here comes my play, draw" said Art as he now had this game in the bag.

"I'll start by tributing my Elemental Hero Bladedge, so I can now summon, Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon!" shouted Art, "Red-Eyes what!?" exclaimed George as he's never seen, much less heard of a natural set red-eyes zombie monster.

"Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, and if I have face up zombie monster in attack position, I can easily summon him with one tribute, so I have you to thank" said Art as George glared at him.

"Now Red-Eyes, attack Sparkman with Necro Fire Blast" said Art as he destroyed his old monster and forced George to loose a huge chunk of life points.

"Amazing folks, Art has once again proven not only his versatility from his skills as a duelist, but by the potential power locked inside the Red-Eye's archetype" said Abby.

"Couldn't have said it better, since the Red-Eyes Black dragon is arguably the best sort of monster support deck that's prepared for any to every encounter, no matter that monsters the duelist maybe up against" said Snap.

"Big deal, so you've got a zombie monster of your own" said George, "It is a big deal, since Red-Eyes has another effect, where if he destroys a zombie monster in battle, I can special summon that monster back on my side of the field, so give a warm welcome to Sparkman!" said Art.

"And we just witness the ultimate uno reverse card. Art has played his monsters greatest utility effect to counteract George's zombie monsters" said Abby, "And something tells me that Art's only getting started" said Snap.

"And now, to finally end this duel, I play a magic card from my hand, polymerization and fuse Sparkman and Bubbleman to summon, Elemental Hero Thunder Giant" said Art.

"And on the turn he's played on the field, I can activate his attack and destroy any monster that has less attack points then him, so say lime your Goblin Zombie" said Art as Thunder Giant eradicated George's only monster defending him.

"Any last words" Art asked with a smug smile, "Guys! Help!" cried George with literal tears to his friends as he pleaded for them to bale him out of this situation.

"To late! Thunder Giant attack him and end this duel already!" shouted Art as Thunder Giant lifted his hands towards George and sent a made electric shock to his body, before falling on his knees.

"That's game" said Art, "N-no, this isn't fair, if I wasn't restricted from bringing my friends with me, I would've beaten you!" cried George.

"Your friends couldn't have helped you regardless man, besides in this arena the only people that our present and should matter are yourself and your opponent, so you know take these words of mine with a grain of salt" said Art.

"Go to hell, and die you fiend" said George as he began to charge Art with a dagger, ready to stab him, but was stopped when Eye Gouge stepped in and literally grabbed George by his head and began to apply some excruciating pressure.

"Immortal man, say words whether weak hero and his party lives, or dies" said Eye Gouge as he leered at the group with not only his sickening smile, but also with a fully loaded missile launcher resting in his free hand.

"Evict them through the front door, they've got a five minute head start before I let you and Sam's army of demons to pursue and attack them, sound fair" said Art as Eye Gouge smirked at him before tossing George into his group of friends.

"Leave now before I lose patience!" roared Eye Gouge as the small group of 4 heroes plus George began to run for the exit.

"And with that ladies and Gentlemen, Art Legend will be one of the 2 finalist to win this competition" Abby said as she tried to get people ignore the fact that Art essentially allowed Eye Gouge to kill an enemy slowly.

"Yes, and now we move on to the second and last prefinal rounds, emerging from the Blue Corner, hailing from a small patch outside the Village of Moonbeam, we have Taylor Lulamoon" said Snap.

"And in the red corner, a Hybrid from New Frontier City, it's Ben Bark" said Abby as everyone moderately cheered for these individuals.

"I hope you're ready to bring your game on" said Ben, "Just don't expect to win like your friend over there" said Taylor with a playful smile as it was time to duel.

"I'll start things off by playing Lunalight Emerald Bird, and activate her effect by sending one Lunalight monster from my hand to the graveyard and draw 1 card" said Taylor.

"What's more the monster I happened to send to the graveyard was Lunalight Purple Butterfly, and her effect activates, giving my monster an additional 1000 attack point boost. I end my turn" said Taylor.

"This isn't a trick we ain't seen before Snap, as this was the same combo that Taylor had used in her duel against Kit" said Abby, "True, but this could prove to be detrimental, after all this leaves her at a disadvantage as Ben had indefinitely studied and prepared a counter for this combo" said Snap.

"I draw, and now I activate the spell card Foolish Burial and send a monster from my deck to the graveyard and the monster I sent to the graveyard was Elemental Hero Necroshade" said Ben.

"And now I'm going to play Elemental Hero Neos, in attack mode" said Ben.

"Talk about history repeating itself, ain't that right Snap" said Abby, "I whole heartedly agree as that was the same combo move that Art had used in his previous duel against George, granted with the twist being Ben playing his ace monster on the field" said Snap

"But wait, there's more, I equip the spell card Neos Force to Elemental Hero Neos, giving him an additional 800 attack points" said Ben.

"Now Neos, attack Lunalight Emerald Bird, with Neo Punch" said Ben as his monster decked Taylors beat stick in one blow.

"What's more, you lose additional life points based on your monsters original attack points" said Ben as he was left in the lead as Taylor gritted her teeth.

"Talk about the beat down of a life time, Ben has easily earned himself the lead in this duel, since he now has a whopping 3300 beat stick and on his first turn" said Abby.

"Not quite, since after the turn, Ben must shuffle back and return Neos Force into the deck" said Snap

"I'll activate Lunalight Purple Butterfly's effect and banish her to special summon a new Lunalight monster onto the field, some come out, Lunalight Wolf" said Taylor afore she drew a new card.

"Astounding, we just witness Taylor play the first Pendulum monster onto the field folks" said Abby, "Don't get excited now, according to Art's rules, he'll only allow the use of Pendulum monster as their based status effect monster, as anything else would result in the duelist immediate disqualification and their names permanently written on any to all future tournaments ban list" said Snap.

"I'll play my Pot of Greed, which let's me draw 2 new cards" said Taylor as she had a strategy ready to get back at Ben.

"First, I'll play the magic card, Luna Light Perfume and special summon my Lunalight Emerald Bird back on the field, and now that I have Luna Light Perfume in the graveyard, I'll activate it's second effect and banish it to add another Lunalight monster to my hand" said Taylor.

"And now to execute my strategy by playing the magic card, Double Fusion, at the cost of paying 500 life points, I can not only fusion summons monsters I have in my hand, field, and graveyard, but I can do this action twice" said Taylor.

"So let me introduce you to my Lunalight Cat Dancer" said Taylor as the monster she had used to defeat Kit, had made a return.

And now, I fuse her and one more Lunalight Monster in my hand to summon, Lunalight Panther Dancer" said Taylor.

"Taylor just performed the first ever double fusion folks… is that an actual thing?" asked Abby, "Of course, since some monster need to be summon using many other types of monsters, including normal effect, fusion, synchro, ritual, etc." informed Snap.

"And now I activate her effect that prevents your monster from being destroyed this first turn around and so I can attack it twice" said Taylor as her Panther Dancers attack was benign at best in the end of games.

"And what's more for every monster she does destroy, she gains an additional 200 attack points" said Taylor.

"It looks like Taylor is still in the game folks, she may have been on the ropes at the start of this duel, but now she's the one in control" said Abby, "I must concur, considering how her current monsters power has exponential potential, and if Ben isn't careful, he might be going home after this duel" said Snap.

"I'll admit, I'm intimidated, but I ain't backing down, draw!" shouted Ben, "I play one card face down, and I'll set Elemental Hero Clayman, in defense mode, I end my turn" said Ben.

"Draw!" shouted Taylor as the card she drew was original a dud, but a small twitch to the wrist, and she replaced that card with something she wanted better, an action that didn't go unnoticed by Samantha.

"I summon, Lunalight White Rabbit, in attack mode, and when she's out on the field, I can special summon back a Lunalight monster back on the field in defense mode, so come on out Lunalight Crimson Fox" said Taylor.

"And now I'll have Lunalight Panther Dancer destroy your Clayman, and give her another 200 attack points in the process, and finally, my Lunalight White Rabbit will attack you directly" said Taylor as her Rabbit slammed her mochi mallet on Ben's foot, causing him to hop around in pain.

"Now that was just mean lady" hissed Ben, "I set one card face down, and end my turn" said Taylor as Ben finally went about drawing his card at long last.

"I'm going to start, by playing a magic card, Polymerization, and I'm going to fuse my Elemental Hero Bubbleman, and Elemental Hero Burst Lady in order to summon, my Elemental Hero Steam Healer" said Ben.

"And now I'll have my monster attack your White Rabbit, go attack her with steam stream" said Ben, "I activate my trap card, Waboku, now not only is my monster from being destroyed from battle this turn, but any damage I were to receive is turned to zero" said Taylor.

"Fair enough, but that doesn't change the fact that my Elemental Hero still has his special ability, which lets me gain back life points based on the attack points of your would be destroyed monster" said Ben as he smiled knowing that his life points were safe for now.

"Things are definitely not going to end anytime here folks, and I'm enjoying every minute of it" said Abby, "In deed, so far Ben and Taylor have been playing at their fullest, showing off the power that their decks hold, really this could easily be anyone's game" said Snap.

"So be it, I draw!" shouted Taylor I she drew another dud, and opted to do a slight of hand card trick once more.

"This was fun, but now it's over, as I now play the magic card, Polymerization, and fuse my Lunalight Panther Dancer, Crimson Fox, and White Rabbit, in order to summon the all powerful…" paused Taylor as she waited for her monster to fully show herself.

"Lunalight Leo Dancer!" shouted Taylor as she brought out her boss monster onto the field.

"…Hey Snap, I'm speechless, so mind telling the folks at home what happened" said Abby, "Certainly, Taylor has summoned her apex and what you could arguably call her boss monster card, as the effects of Lunalight Leo Dancer makes it nigh impossible to beat outside of direct combat" said Snap.

"Are you saying that Ben may actually lose this duel" asked Abby, "That's most likely to be the outcome, less he finds away to get out of this situation" said Snap.

"And now Leo Dancer, destroy his Steam Healer" ordered Taylor, as her monster destroyed Ben's monster, but finally brought his life points down to her level.

"And what's more, my monster can attack a second time, ending the duel once and for all" said Taylor as Leo Dancer loomed over Ben as she prepared to finish him off.

"Activate trap; Draining Shield!" shouted Ben as a green energy shield protected him from Taylor's monster.

"You survived, impressive" said Taylor as she forced herself to smile, "That's not all, if anything I have to thank you for the amazing life point boost" said Ben as he had a whopping 5000 life points to his name.

"This duel is far from over folks, Ben has been playing with everything he's got, and it's got me on the edge of my seat" said Abby, "Truly, it was a magnificent stunt as Lunalight Leo Dancer is immune from any card effects that directly effect her, and is outright immune to card destruction, but it means nothing to cards that indirectly effect her, like Ben's Draining Shield" said Snap.

"It means nothing, considering how you don't have a monster that can touch my Lunalight Leo Dancer as it's immune from cards specifically meant to damage or otherwise target my monster" said Tailor.

"Let's just wait and see, I draw" said Ben as he may have a winning chance after all.

"All right here goes, I summon Wroughtweiler in defense mode, and then I set one card face down, and end my turn" said Ben.

"Very well, but be warned that no harm can directly affect my monster, so Lunalight Leo Dancer, attack his Wroughtweiler" said Taylor as she already triggered the events needed to end this duel.

"And now I'll have Leo Dancer attack you directly" said Taylor as Ben had instantly lost all those life points he gained in the previous turn.

"I set one card down and end my turn" said Taylor, "Awesome, thanks for destroying Wroughtweiler, now I can return one Elemental Hero, and a Polymerization from my graveyard to my hand" said Ben as he now had Burst Lady back in hand.

"I draw, and now I reveal my face down trap card, Call of the Haunted, and I'll be bringing back my Elemental Hero Clayman" said Ben.

"And now I'm going to fuse him with Burst Lady, in order to Summon, my Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster" said Ben as he set his monster in defense mode.

"As impressive as your monster is, it's still not powerful enough to destroy my Leo Dancer" said Taylor.

"True, but my monster has a special effect that bypasses your monster all together" said Ben, "What!?" exclaimed Taylor.

"Watch as Rampart Blaster attacks you directly, go missile barrage!" shouted Ben as his monster attack Taylor directly and was pretty much one hit away before dropping out of this duel.

"And here's the best part, I still have my normal summon to activate, so I'm not only going to set my Elemental Hero Featherman in defense mode, but I'll set one card face down, and end my turn" said Ben.

"Amazing, Ben has found the weakness in Lunalight Leo Dancer, and has fully exploited it by attacking Taylor directly" said Snap, "This kid has been full of surprises since the start of this tournament Snap, surely any opinion whether this could would make it or not in the final duel, has definitely drawn people to support for this could to win.

"Now, you've gone and finally pissed me off you jerk, so now I'll have Leo Dancer end this duel by attacking your Featherman first" said Taylor.

"And when Leo Dancer destroys a monster all special summoned monster are forcibly returned back from the field to the hand" said Taylor as Ben had lost Rampart Blaster without initiating combat.

"It's over, now die" said Taylor, "Activate trap; Back to the Front Lines, this trap let's me special summon one monster from my graveyard in defense position, and I can think of no better monster than my Elemental Hero Clayman" said Ben.

"This is stupid, you should be beaten by now" jeered Taylor, "Touché, but I think we can both agree we're in the homestretch now" said Ben as he drew a card from his deck.

"Talk about a close encounter, really folks, I couldn't tell you who'd win, Snap you want to weigh in" asked Abby, "While probability dictates that Taylor has a 78% chance of winning, there's a small chance that if Ben were to draw the right card this turn, he may actually pull through" said Snap.

"I play Pot of Greed, which let's me draw 2 new cards" said Ben as he drew 2 new cards.

"Sweet, I'm going to start things off by playing a magic card, O-Oversoul and bring back my Elemental Hero Neos" said Ben as he brought back his game changer monster.

"And next I'm going to play Neo Spacian Flare Scarab, and fuse him with Neo's in order to play Elemental Hero Flare Neos" said Ben as he began to smile in satisfaction.

"I now play the field spell, Neo Space" said Ben as he transformed their world in the luminescent rainbow world that was space.

"This is… something, I'll admit but your field spell has no effect on my monster" said Taylor, "Doesn't need to, cause what it does it boosts my Elemental Hero's attack points by a whopping 500" said Ben.

"Additionally, Neo Space has the effect that prevents all fused Neo-Spacian monsters from having to return back to the extra deck at the end of the turn, nullifying the negative effects to this cards archetype" said Snap "Thanks for the 411 Snap" said Abby.

"That still means nothing, your monster is weaker than mine" said Taylor, "On the contrary, cause now Flare Neos effect activates where he gains 400 attack points for each spell and trap card left in play" said Ben.

"Your monster is still a 100 attack points short to mean anything" said Taylor, "For the time, except now I play one card face down the field, giving my monster a whopping 3800 attack points, enough to not only destroy your monster and end the duel" said Ben.

"Don't you dare!" warned Taylor, "Sorry, but I play to win, so go, Elemental Hero Flare Neos destroy her monster and end this duel already" said Ben as he finally destroyed Taylor's monster and dropped her life points to zero.

"That was a good game" Ben said with a smile, "Cram that up your ass" said Taylor as she finally dropped her façade.

"This is complete bullshit, for me having to lose to a filthy hybrid like you. You- you cheated somehow" said Taylor with an accusing finger.

"That's enough, although, I should address the issue of their being a cheater in this tournament" said Samantha.

"What do you mean Sam" asked Art, "You didn't notice, but Taylor here has been cheating this whole time, by using a slight of hand apparatus device under her sleeve to cheese herself into getting the cards she wanted throughout this whole game" said Samantha as she nodded to Abby who literally began to pull on some near invisible threat and lifted Taylor up and revealing the device she had been using.

"Then, this whole time, she should've been disqualified" Heather said angrily, "I full heartedly agree, granted, I apologize that neither I or my Generals were able to see, and prevent this sooner, in fact I was ready to call her out, but I had hopes for young Ben here to win" said Samanatha getting Ben's attention.

"Ben, you should be proud to know that I've admired your skill in a way that I haven't seen since the days long since I've blessed Art here with the title of Hero from Hell, as such I shall personally write a formal letter to your mother over your bravado this day" said Samantha as Ben smiled over the praise he got from his new queen.

"You honor me your majesty" Ben said with a bow, "You may rise. As for you Taylor, you're hereby given the boot from this tournament and from my castle, Abby, could you and Snap take care of her" said Samantha.

"It would be our pleasure" said Snap as the duo bound and dragged Taylor away from not only the duel, but from everyone's sight.

"And with that ladies and gentlemen who are listening at home, we now have our 2 finalist, and we shall proceed with the final duel after 15 minute recess and a word from our sponsors" said Samantha.

"Ben, you did it, you actually did it" said Rod as he hugged his big brother, "Yeah bro, you not only beat that cheater, but you got praised on your mad skills by Sam- er Queen Samanatha" said Heather as she hugged her big bro tightly as well.

"Congrats Ben, I appreciate your valiant effort for avenging me" said Kit, "Now let's see if you have what it takes to go up against the Commander" said Beans as the members of Sombra Squad stopped their cheer and focused their attention on Art who stood their and smiled at Ben.

"Rest up Ben, you and I are going to need it" said Art as he left to prepare his deck.

Time Skip

"Ladies and Gentlemen put your hands together for the final 2 duelist in this here tournament, as only one of them will go home a winner" said Abby.

"Emerging from the red corner, hailing from Earth like those who directly serve Queen Samantha, he's the pioneer, and OG creator of the card game in this world, he's madly in love with Ruby Rose and Naofumi Iwatani, you know him as the weaponsmith who won the west, and love him as the Hero from Hell, he's Art Legend" said Snap as everyone began going nuts for Art.

"And stepping in from the blue corner, born on the planet of Dierra like everyone else here, he's the original soldier of Samantha's army, the man that many would say would be Art's equal as a mortal man, the Hyped Hero Hybrid from New Frontier City, and folks you're bound to love and respect him, he's Ben Bark" said Abby as Ben received as much praise as Art.

"Before we start this duel, I'd like to make an announcement" said Samantha as she quieted everyone down.

"Never have I seen 2 young, 2 brave champions appear before me, not as rivals, but as brothers, not bound by blood, but in arms who overcame some tough obstacles throughout this tournament and outside this tournament when you 2 pay your dues by serving me" said Samantha as everyone began to cheer for an honest to good praise for Art and Ben.

"However, that won't due, and in a selfish, but justified turn of events, you 2 must duel each other like rivals, one way or another" said Samantha as standing next to her was Asia and Eliza.

"Oh crap" jeered Art as his face drop, "I don't like the looks of this" commented Ben.

"Art Legend, for your repeated offense of being a philanderer to both men and woman alike; what's more your charm and influence has even plagued your second in command and best soldier are hereby to continue on this duel with a new condition as standing before are 2 young maidens who have been deeply hurt by your actions" said Samantha as she furrowed her brow at the 2 duelist.

"By orders of me, your queen, I hereby announced that the winner of this duel shall not only gain the prizes offer, but shall be spared and be forcibly wed on the spot, ministered by yours truly" said Samantha as their was arguably forced cheer from the crowds.

"And the loser, shall bare the worst indignant punishment any man is forced to bare with for the remainder of their days, and that's being forcibly castrated, by once again me" said Samantha as everyone gasped at this bit of news.

"C-commander… I… I don't want to be forcibly castrated" whimpered Ben, "And you think I do?! You at least get to live a short life and I risk being the first ever immortal eunuch" said Art as he doesn't want to be physically castrated or wrangled into a shotgun wedding with an underage bride.

"Now that the terms and conditions are met, it's time to duel gentlemen. Oh and don't even think about escaping" said Samantha as she snapped her fingers and surrounded them both in a wall of malevolent fire.

"Damn you Sam… Ben I'm sorry, but it's either you or me, so…" said Art as he and Ben activated their duel disks.

"It's time to get your game on" shouted Art and Ben in unison.

"And I'll start by playing my Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode, and then I set 2 cards face down and end my turn" said Art.

"I also play my Elemental Hero Sparkman as well, and I equip him with H-Heated Heart, and raise his attack points to 2100" said Ben.

"Now Sparkman, attack his Sparkman!" ordered Ben, "Not so fast, I reveal my face down magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon, and destroy your H-Heated Heart, bring your monster back to the same amount of life points like my monster" said Art as he witness both Sparkman duking it out and dropping to the graveyard.

"This duel is heating up as neither Art or Ben are willing to back down in this duel" said Abby, "Given how one would be forced into a shotgun wedding, and the loser would lose his testicles, I'd say they have a good reason for not holding back" said Snap.

"I set one card down and end my turn" said Ben, "Good, cause now I play Elemental Hero Featherman in attack mode" said Art as he now had a monster back on his field.

"Now Featherman, attack him with Quill Cascade" ordered Art as his Featherman attacked Ben directly.

"Damn it commander, I can't loose" said Ben as he drew a new card.

"I play Foolish Burial, and send a monster from my deck to the graveyard, and the monster I happen to choose was Elemental Hero Necroshade, so now I can use his effect and summon…" said Ben as he took a dramatic pause.

"Elemental Hero Neos!" said Ben as he had his ace monster out on the field.

"Here we go again folks, Ben managed to cheat out and play his ace monster" said Abby, "Let's hope for Ben's sake that he doesn't have to face Art's ace monster" said Snap.

"Neos, attack his Featherman" said Ben as Neos went and decked Featherman in the jaw, afore going to the graveyard, along with a good chunk of Art's life points in the process.

"I set one card down and end my turn" said Ben, "I draw! I set a monster down in defense mode, and one card face down, and end my turn" said Art.

"I draw! All right, I play Neo-Spacian Grand Mole on the field, and I'm going to contact fuse him and my Neos in order to summon, Elemental Hero Grand Neos, and use his effect to return one card on the field back into your hand" said Ben as he returned Art's Elemental Hero Clayman back into his hand.

"I'm sorry commander, but it ends now. Go, Grand Neos attack him with your Grand Drill Punch" ordered Ben as Art remained calm.

"You activated my trap card; Fiendish Chain, which stops your monster from attacking me this turn" said Art as he had Ben trapped from winning and ending this duel on this turn.

"I end my turn" Ben said bitterly as his monster returned back to his deck, "And now I draw" said Art.

"How queer" said Snap, "Come again" asked Abby, "It's just that it makes no sense for Art to activate Fiendish Chain so late, when he could've activate it as soon as Elemental Hero Grand Neos hit the floor to not only prevent it from attacking, but also negate it's effect".

"I play the magic card, Graceful Charity, it allows me to draw 3 cards, but I must discard 2 cards in the process" said Art.

"And now I activate my facedown trap card, Necro Fusion, by banishing monsters from my graveyard, I can now summon 1 fusion monster onto the field, and you know what, I choose to summon, Red-Eyes Black Skull Dragon" said Art as he played one his most powerful monsters this turn.

"I set one card down, and end my turn" said Art casually.

"Now why would Art choose to end his turn, he has the opportunity to end this duel already" asked Abby, "It's not because he doesn't want to, or sadistic reasons, it's a matter that he can't since on the turn, Necro Fusion is used to summon a fusion monster, that very monster cannot attack that same turn" said Snap.

"I draw!" shouted Ben as he anxiously looked at Art who looked back at him with the same anxious look.

"I play a magic card, Exchange, now both of us have to show our hands and swap one card with each other" said Ben as Art and Ben walked forward into the field, where Ben took Art's Clayman, and in turn Art took Ben's E-Emergency.

"And now I reveal my Polymerization, and fuse my Elemental Hero Bubbleman and your Clayman in order to summon, Elemental Hero Mudball Man" said Ben as he had a huge wall to protect him this turn.

"I draw, and I've got lucky to play magic card, called card destruction, this forces us to not only discard our hand, but draw the same exact number of new cards" said Art.

"And now I'll have my Red-Eyes Black Skull Dragon destroy your Mudball Man" said Art as he instantly destroyed Ben's only means of defense.

"I set one card down and end my turn" said Art, "I draw!" shouted Ben as he prepared to make his next play.

"I activate Monster Reborn, to bring back my Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, and then I activate another spell card, Double Summon, and I choose to summon my Elemental Hero Neos Alius, and summon him again, officially making him Elemental Hero Neos" said Ben.

"Gemini monsters, not the fastest, but definitely sleeper monsters with devastating effects" said Abby, "Without a doubt, as it stands Elemental Hero Neos Alius is a powerful 4 star monster by itself, but it's Gemini effect makes it invaluable to play for a deck like Ben as we're about to see" said Snap.

"And now I contact fuse my Elemental Hero Neos and Neo Spacian Flare Scarab, in order to summon Elemental Hero Flare Neos" said Ben as he now had a monster strong enough to topple Red-Eyes Black Skull Dragon.

"Go Flare Neos and attack his Black Skull Dragon" said Ben as time stood still.

"You've played a great game today Ben, really you deserve all the praise you've got today and then some" said Art.

"It's all thanks to you commander, from the first day you took, me, my friends and my family in, you didn't teat us as untouchables, you treated us like our own being, and gave me and everyone an opportunity to live a life we thought was but a fantasy" said Ben.

"Which is why I'm taking action to end this duel with our dignity and manhood intact" said Art.

"I activate my facedown trap card, Final Fusion, this card can only activate when you have fusion monster attacking one of my fusion monsters, where it effect kicks in and forcibly ends the battle between us" said Art.

"What's more both players take damage equal to the total combined attack points of both of their monsters" said Snap, "At the same time, than that means…" said Abby as the arena erupted into a grand bang as the flames that surrounded both Art and Ben were now extinguished from the field.

"It's a tie!" shouted Abby and Snap in unison as the spectators from not only in the castle, but those who got to hear the broadcast began to cheer over the most unpredicted victory between the 2 best duelist on the planet of Dierra.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, with no clear winner, we can go on and say that Art Legend and Ben Bark are to be known far and wide as the best duelists in the world" said Snap.

"For consultation reasons, it be easier to say that Art Legend and Ben Bark are both the number 1 duelists in the world, meaning that no one is technically forced to get married, and more importantly both get to keep their balls on their body" said Abby.

"Commander, I just want to say, that was an awesome duel" said Ben, "Best duel of my fricken life" said Art as their praise for each other ended when they heard Samantha clapping for them.

"Congratulations you two, you found a loophole and manage to emerge victorious in this little duel of yours. If I'm honest, had I been put in the power and position as my father, I would chase you both down till the ends of the earth and hunt you down for eternal damnation" said Samantha.

"But that's neither here nor there, with that being said, I believe you two have to apologize to these young ladies here, and ladies, I'm sorry neither of you can get your way, but I bet you can reach compromise that's not extreme for the guilty" said Samantha.

"Asia, I'm really sorry that I upset you, and so does Asha, we've set up boundaries and are still to remain as friends and teammates to date, but know that there's no other lady I'd like to spend my days with, but you" said Ben.

"I forgive you, but I want us to go on a romantic date once we're done with this tournament, specifically a romantic 3 day weekend back at Oasis City" said Asia.

"It be my pleasure my lady" said Ben as he took Asia's hand and kissed it.

"Eliza, I also would like to apologize, so can we just-" began Art as Eliza gave him her hand and got him to stop talking.

"I too want a romantic weekend with you, I don't care how you plan to do it, but I want it so there's no other man or woman to come and distract you from me, and I expect you to wake me up every morning with a kiss during our time alone, followed by unlimited snuggle time whenever, wherever I want for the rest of the year" said Eliza.

"I'd be happy to make arrangements once we officially end this tournament" said Art Eliza giggled and did a happy dance in response.

"So what you say Sam, mind officially ending things so we can get on with our lives" said Art.

"It be my pleasure, though honestly it be hard to divi up these prizes, so I'll let you 2 decide who gets what" said Samantha as Art and Ben looked at each other.

"Their both yours if you want them Ben, I'm a billionaire so the puzzle means nothing, and well I feel like I'd be betraying my Red-Eyes for even touching the Blue-Eyes" said Art.

"If it's all right with you, then I'll gladly take the puzzle and sell it, as for the deck, honestly dragons aren't my thing" said Ben.

"I guess that settles things, Art Legend and Ben Bark, you 2 are hereby recognized as the number 1 duelists in the world. We shall keep the Blue-Eyes White Dragon here on display as a reminder of the first ever Yu-Gi-Oh duel monsters tournament" said Samantha as they finally concluded this years tournament.

10 Days Later

After everything that's happened, things more or less went back to normal The Queendom of Agora continued it's landslide war against the Kingdom of Terra and Queendom Tiempo, Art Legend continued to be badass on the battlefield and off, and shortly their invasion was changing the world for the better, still there was still some unfinished business.

Stepping out of Art's muscle car, Art and Ben walked down in a deep quarry that Art had made in the middle of nowhere, where no one can see them, and no one would interfere with them for what they were about to do.

"Can't believe you went to the trouble of building what's pretty much a huge hole in the ground" said Ben.

"I didn't want anyone to bug us, cause what happens here is just between you and me" said Art as he and Ben began to insert their decks into their duel disks.

"You make a good point, plus there's no unwanted pressure coming from anyone" said Ben, "Just 2 duelist literally looking for a good time" said Art as he and Ben looked at each other and smile.

"Get Your Game On!" shouted Art and Ben as we pan out into the quarry and reflect as to what became of everyone after the tournament.

Epilogue

On a day where no one was present at Samantha's castle, not even the queen herself, was around to monitor the integrity of the castle, we come into a large hollowed room where the deck containing 3 of the 4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon had been left defensively in it's display.

Before the end of the day or when anyone could come and monitor the castle, the pedestal containing the cards was now empty, less of course you count the small mount of broken glass in it's place.

Sequel anyone? Of course though just like how it took me a year to write this, so will the next time we see Art Legend learning the consequences of using duel monsters in the western-isekai world he had originally plunged himself in, so until then, later people.
