Arena
"Black Rose Dragon, attack!" Akiza said as her monster attacked Gill
"Ahhhhh!" Was all Gill Randsborg could utter before falling unconscious
Akiza:50
Gill:0
"AND THE WINNER IS AKIZA!" The MC announced as Akiza walked out of the arena ignoring her fallen opponent
Cafeteria
"Ouch, that had got to hurt." Fader said after witnessing Akiza's match from the screen
"And these Signers are suppose to be the good guys?" Resonator asked
"Yes." Ben said
"So far besides Yusei and Ruka, the rest seem far from being good." Resonator said
"CAN BEN AND COMMANDER KODA PLEASE ENTER THE RING." The MC announced
"Guess you're up." Yusei said as Ben got up
"Wish me luck." Ben said as he started walking out
"I doubt you'll need it." Yusei called back
Arena
Standing across each other Koda and Ben have already activated their Duel disk to begin their match.
"Officer Ben, it is good to finally meet my toughest case study." Koda said
"Toughest case study?" Ben asked raising a brow
"Why of course, normally gathering data of Duelists has never been a problem for me, but you on the other hand, are a rare case. There is basically no data of you. But it doesn't matter, because I have been briefed on your previous duels and have come up with a Deck to counter you." Koda said
"I don't like the sound of that." Ben thought
"LET THE DEUL BEGIN!" The MC announced
Koda:4000
Ben:4000
Turn:1
"My turn, I'll draw. Now I'll special summon Guardian Eatos in attack position."
Guardian Eatos (2500Atk/2000Def/Lvl8/Wind/Fairy)
"Now as long as I don't have any monster in my graveyard, I can special summon Eatos from my hand and now I'll summon two more Guardian Eatos." Koda said summoning more monsters
"That's a really good starting hand. Resonator observed
"I'll now play the continues spell Dimensional Fissure. Now I'll place one face down and summon D.D Survivor before ending my turn." Koda said
D.D Survivor (1800Atk/200Def/Lvl4/Dark/Warrior)
Turn:2
"I'll draw. I'll play Allure of Darkness, letting me draw two cards as I banish Battle Fader, I'll now end my turn." Ben said
Turn:3
"That's it? I expected more. I'll draw, I'll now summon another D.D Survivor. Now, Eatos attack his life points directly." Koda commanded
"I'll special summon Battle Fader from my hand to end your battle phase." Ben said
Battle Fader (0Atk/0Def/Lvl1/Dark/Fiend)
"Going on the defensive I see. I'll end my turn." Koda said
Turn:4
"I'll draw." Ben paused looking at his card before continuing "I'll play the spell Giant Trunade to return your spell and trap back to your hand. Now I'll tribute Battle Fader to summon Sillva, Warlord of Dark."
Sillva D.W (2300Atk/1400Def/Lvl5/Dark/Fiend)
"I'll now play Dark World Dealings letting us draw one card to discard another and since I discarded Grapha I can destroy one of your Eatos." Ben said
"A minor set back." Koda said witnessing his monsters destruction
"Right, keep telling yourself that. I'll play another Dark World Dealings, discarding Goldd which let's me special summon him to the field." Ben said
Goldd D.W (2300Atk/1400Def/Lvl5/Dark/Fiend)
"I'll now activate the field spell, The Gate of Dark World increasing the attack and defense of all Fiend monsters by 300." Ben said
Sillva and Goldd D.W (2600Atk/1700Def/Lvl5/Dark/Fiend)
"Now Goldd, Sillva, destroy both of his D.D Survivors." Ben said
Koda:2400
"I'll now place three face downs and end my turn." Ben said
Turn:5
"I'll draw. I'll activate Dimensional Fissure. Now I'll summon D.D Warrior Lady in attack position." Koda said
D.D Warrior Lady (1500Atk/1600Def/Lvl4/Light/Warrior)
"I'll place one face down and switch both my Eatos into defense mode. Now D.D Warrior Lady, attack his monster." Koda said
"I activate my trap card Compulsory Evacuation Device, returning D.D Warrior Lady back to your hand." Ben said
"Why you, I'll…I end my turn." Koda said gritting his teeth
Turn:6
"I'll draw. I'll now summon Broww, Huntsman of Dark World in attack position." Ben said
Broww D.W (1700Atk/1100Def/Lvl3/Dark/Fiend)
"Now I'll return Broww back to my hand to special summon Grapha from my graveyard." Ben said
Grapha D.W (3000Atk/2100Def/Lvl8/Dark/Fiend)
"Now, Sillva, Goldd, attack both his Eatos." Ben said
"You'll pay for that." Koda said as he watched his monsters get destroyed
"Grapha, end this Duel." Ben said
"I'll activate my trap card, Dimensional Prison to banish your monster." Koda said
"Dark Bribe." Was Ben's simple reply
"What?" Koda asked
"Dark Bribe allows me negate your trap which leaves you wide open." Ben said to Koda's horror who could only watch helplessly as his life points were reduced
Koda:0
"AND THE WINNER IS BEN!" The MC announced
With Yusei
"He's good." Bommer said from Yusei's corner
"Still, what does Goodwin want with him?" Yusei asked himself
"THE NEXT MATCH UP IS BETWEEN YUSEI AND SHIRA, CAN BOTH DUELIST PLEASE COME TO THE ARENA!"
"Guess I'm next." Yusei said
"Break a leg, though not literally since you won't be able to Duel again." Ben said walking into the room
"Thanks." Yusei said as he left
Arena
"Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready? It's time for the Fortune Cup's first Turbo Duel! Introducing first, Satellite's very own Yusei Fudo." The MC announced
Immediately the MC finish announcing his name, Yusei came out of entrance as he raced onto the field on his prize Runner.
The crowd weren't pleased at his arrival and started throwing insults, but Yusei merely ignored them.
"Dueling him is Shira, 'The Shinigami Reborn'!" Just like Yusei's entrance, Shria came charging forth from his entrance as smoke danced around his D-Wheel, people started cheering for him as he raced to the starting point.
"Don't let us down, Shira!"
"With both Duelists at the starting line, there's just one thing left to do, Activate Speed World!" The MC Yelled as Shira and Yusei pulled out their speed spell cards and placed them in their card slots.
"Duel Mode Engaged, Autopilot Standing By."
"This is the point of no return! Both Duelists have activated their Speed World field-spell!" The MC said
" Speed World activated. Ready…Set…Duel!"
Just as the two Duelists drove across the road, Shira tossed away his black robes causing everyone to gasp at the sudden movement and the person on the dark Runner.
"Surprise, surprise! Didn't expect to see me did ya?" Hunter Yelled
"This is the mother of all surprises! That's not Shira, that's the former champion! The Mad Biker, the Phantom of Fire, it's, Hunter Pace!" The MC cried
"Are you gonna accept my challenge or are you gonna back down in front of all these people and go home running?" Hunter laughed harder as Yusei still didn't look bothered. "Trust me, you don't wanna duel Shira, dude's a real bore!"
Yusei looked at him with a raise brow, before smiling.
"Let's do this!"
"Alright!" Hunter threw his head back, laughing up a storm.
"Uh, I'm not sure if this is, uh…" The MC bit his lip, looking around to see if any of the officials were going to call the match . The screen next to him suddenly turned on, a shot of Goodwin giving him a stern look making him jump.
"If you're waiting for my approval, well then…" He trailed off with a mysterious smile, before the screen turned off. The MC nodded and shouted out with thunder.
"Director Goodwin has given the green light to Hunter's challenge! It's A go! The Duel is on!"
With their challenge accepted, Yusei and Hunter broke the force of their casual speed and started.
"Lets Duel!"
Yusei: 4000 (S.C:0)
Hunter: 4000 (S.C:0)
Turn:1
"First move's mine. I draw! And from my hand, I summon Burning Skull Head in attack mode! Then I end my turn by placing three cards face down!" Hunter said
Burning Skull Head (1000Atk/800Def/Lvl3/Fire/Zombie)
Turn:2
"I'm up then," Yusei said as he drew. "And I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode!"
Speed Warrior (900Atk/400Def/Lvl2/Wind/Warrior)
"Looks like Yusei's not gonna waste any time getting on the offensives! Speed Warrior's attack points double during its Battle Phase!" The MC said
Speed Warrior (1800Atk/400Def/Lvl2/Wind/Warrior)
"Speed Warrior, attack him with Hyper Sonic Slash!" Yusei ordered
"Sorry, but my Zero Guard trap card's putting the brakes on your Speed Warrior!" Hunter's skull was suddenly inflamed in fire reducing it's attack
Burning Skull Head (0Atk/800Def/Lvl3/Fire/Zombie)
"See, by taking away all of my Burning Skull Head's attack points, I can prevent it from being destroy in battle!"
Yusei: 4000 (S.C:2)
Hunter: 2200 (S.C:2)
"I give you the Doom Accelerator trap!" Hunter threw one hand in the air, one of his face-downs revealing itself. "Thanks to this puppy, I'll be gaining one speed counter for every five-hundred points of damage I take in battle."
Yusei: 4000 (S.C:2)
Hunter: 2200 (S.C:5)
"Aw yeah! That's your first taste of a new Speed Acceleration Deck, custom made by yours truly!" Hunter cheered,
"Not a bad play, Hunter, but it'll take more than that to shake me down. For now, I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn," Yusei said, ending his turn with that.
Turn:3
"My turn then," Hunter smirked. "I draw! I'm cranking this Duel up a notch, with the Summon Speeder spell. Since I have at least four speed counters, I can use Summon Speeder to bust out a new monster, so say hello to Skull Servant !"
Skull Servant (300Atk/200Def/Lvl1/Dark/Zombie)
"Next, by kicking both my Skull Monsters to the curb, I can Advance Summon, Skull Flame!" Hunter said summoning a new monster
Skull Flame (2600Atk/2000Def/Lvl8/Fire/Zombie)
"Sorry, kid! I came here to Duel Jack Atlas again and regain my title! And well, Yusei, you're blocking my way!" Hunter grinned and threw his hand his way. "See, you gotta fall! Skull Flame, burn up his Life Points!"
Yusei: 2300 (S.C:1)
"And I'm just getting warmed up! Prepare to taste the real heat as I activate the Speed Booster trap card!" Hunter flew ahead as another one of his face-down was bought up. "Welcome to the real world of Turbo Dueling! If you can't keep up, then you're gonna get left behind I came here to burn rubber and take names, Yusei! And no one's gonna stop me from winning the chance to reclaim my title, and to turn up the heat, I initiate Speed Booster's special attack, dealing a hundred points of damage due to the difference in our speed-counters!"
Yusei: 1900 (S.C:1)
Hunter: 2200 (S.C:5)
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a whole new Hunter Pace we're seeing! He's totally reinvented himself!" The MC yelled.
"I'm on the fast track to glory! No one can stop me! Don't blink or you'll miss me!" Hunter said throwing a face-down. "I'm bringing a whole new intensity into Dueling! I'm gonna leave the entire world in my dust! I'm gonna-" A wind whipped him in the face, the next sight in front of him almost making his sunglasses falling off the bridge of his nose."
"HUH!?"
"You're gonna what?" Asked Yusei, giving a slight look as he raced right next to him.
"How are you keeping up with me…Aww man, you gotta be kidding me!" Hunter whined seeing Yusei Slip Stream trap
Hunter, for the very first time since this Duel started, glared at Yusei keeping up with him.
"You think you're slicker than slick, don't ya? So I heard say you were good, Yusei. I heard you were different from other Duelist and all that bullshit that people were spewing. But I'm afraid you're just not good enough to keep up with me. I activate the trap, Acceleration Zone!" The words were said in an instant as speed demon broke the limit.
"YEEEEEEE-HAAAAWWWW!"
Yusei: 1900 (S.C:6)
Hunter: 2200 (S.C:12)
"Incredible! Hunter Pace's speed-counters have rocketed all the way to twelve! He doesn't get any faster that twelve speed counters!" Yelled the MC, eyes almost popping out
Turn:4
"You may think you outsmarted me by slipping in your Slip Stream last round, but my deck is so fast that no matter what card you play or move you make, you'll always be a step behind! And that's something you Satellites have to come to expect, isn't it?" Hunter Taunted
"Well, I wonder if you expected me to play this, the Summon Speeder spell!" Yusei yelled, throwing his hand outward. "Now with the power of Summon Speeder, I summon Quilbolt Hedgehog in defense mode, and Junk Synchron in attack mode!"
Quillbolt Hedgehog (800Atk/800Def/Lvl2/Earth/Machine)
Junk Warrior (1300Atk/500Def/Lvl3/Dark/Warrior)
"And thanks to Junk Synchron's special ability, I can summon another monster from my graveyard. So I'm bringing back Speed Warrior!" Yusei said. "And now, I tune my Junk Synchron with my Quilbolt Hedgehog to Synchro Summon From the junk pile to the skies, let him be known as the king of the defeated! Let the wishes of the fallen be saved by him! Lets give it up for Junk Warrior!"
Junk Warrior (2300Atk/1300Def/Lvl5/Dark/Warrior)
"But before I attack, since Speed Warrior is a level two monster, Junk Warrior can absorb his attack points. Go, Power of Fellows!" Yusei said as Junk Warrior gained more attack
Junk Warrior (3200Atk/1300Def/Lvl5/Dark/Warrior)
"Junk Warrior attack!"
"Heh, forget about my Speed Booster already?" Hunter laughed and asked, watching the warrior fly back.
"I end my turn." Yusei said
Turn:5
"Yeah, that's what I thought. I draw!" Hunter Laughed, "See, after Jack took my title and I failed to snatch it back, I went into hiding to under go some serious retraining. And I realized that if I was gonna rule the turbo duels again, I have to put speed first. You're good as done in a turbo duel if you can't fearlessly harness the power of true speed! It's not what you do, it's how fast you do it, which I will now demonstrate by activating the Acceleration Draw speed spell! This lets me draw two cards from my deck," Hunter drew, smirking more wildly than before. "Aw yeah! It's in my hand! The End of Storm spell card!"
"He has the spell card, End of Storm!?" Yusei gasped
"You should've stayed indoors today, Yusei! The local forecast calls for some hardcore schooling, and a whole lotta' let down!" Hunter was crackling with might. "With a slight chance of annihilation! But it's too late for ya' now! I activate End of Storm!"
A thunderous storm roared with his words, black clouds appearing and lightning bolts bursting everywhere
"From what I understand, you and Jack had some history! So, I'm sure you know what this means! The storm destroys every monster on the field and then, we take three-hundred points of damage for every monster we had!" Lightening bolts struck and took every monster it caught
Yusei: 1300 (S.C:7)
Hunter: 1900 (S.C:12)
"Ha! Now that the storm's blown over, I get to remove one Skull Flame from my Graveyard from play. By doing so, I can summon the incredible, Supersonic Skull Flame to the field in attack mode!"
Supersonic Skull Flame (2600Atk/2000Def/Lvl10/Wind/Zombie)
"This Duel is over, Yusei, 'cause my Supersonic Skull Flame's gonna attack you directly!" Hunter yelled causing his monster to attack
"Well, my Scrap-iron Scarecrow should extinguish his attack!" Yelled the Satellite, throwing up his face-down and bring up a scarecrow, causing the attack to deflect
"Let's see what you do when I activate Speed Booster!" Bombs reigned upon Yusei, almost making him loose balance a little.
Yusei: 800 (S.C:7)
"And now I activate Supersonic's special ability. So for every Burning Skull Head in my Graveyard, you take four-hundred points of damage!"
Yusei: 400 (S.C:7)
Hunter: 1900 (S.C:12)
Turn:6
"It's my turn," Yusei said drawing his next card. "And first, I'm gonna slow this Duel down a little bit, with Shift Down!"
Yusei (S.C:1)
Everyone let out a odd look, the MC calling what just went down.
"Yusei has intentionally decreased her speed-counters! What could he be thinking!?"
"Now that my speed is decreased, I get to draw two more cards." Yusei said. "And next I summon Nitro Synchron."
Nitro Synchron (300Atk/100Def/Lvl2/Fire/Machine)
"Now that I got a tuner monster on my field, I can bring back Quilbolt Hedgehog back from my Graveyard! "With that done, I'm activating the Give and Take trap card! So now I'm gonna give your defense a little boost, and take advantage of the power that beast possesses." Yusei flipped his face down giving Hunter Junk Warrior in defense mode
"The Hell you just do!?" Shouted Hunter, the junk fighter floating next to him.
"Now Quilbolt's level increases for each level Junk Synchron has!" shouted Yusei, Quilbolt becoming wrapped in a golden light.
Quillbolt Hedgehog (800Atk/800Def/Lvl5/Earth/Machine)
"You may have been at the top of the rank back in the day, Hunter, but that's only bacause you've never faced beasts with abilities like these." Declared Yusei, smiling slightly. "Now I tune my Nitro Synchron with my Quilbolt Hedgehog to Synchro Summon A beast that can never be stopped! The light of a warrior's brave heart and with clear thoughts in mind! Synchro Summon! Give a warm welcome to Nitro Warrior!"
Nitro Warrior (2800Atk/1800Def/Lvl7/Fire/Warrior)
"Pretty cool monster," Hunter said as Yusei drew a card due to Nitro Synchron's effect "But I can deflect your attack with Speed Booster! So there's no point in summoning that thing!"
"I activate the speed-spell, Gap Storm!" The churning winds blew and howled, almost making Yusei and Hunter's jackets fly off them.
"What is this?" Asked Hunter, the cold winds biting and stinging his cheeks, even past his helmet.
"I can only activate Gap Storm when the difference in our speed counters is 10 or more," Explained Yusei "That's why I slowed down. Now I can destroy every trap and spell card on the field!"
"Oh, no! Then that means!" Hunter gasped realization hitting him
"Say goodbye to your Speed Booster!" In that moment every spell and trap was destroyed
"No way! This ain't over! I ain't losing!" Yelled Hunter as the winds went away.
"You might, once Nitro's special ability kicks in!" Yusei promised, pointing one finger up. "And because I activated a spell card on my own turn, my Nitro Warrior gets hooked up with a thousand attack points!" The green-skinned warrior flexed his muscles, powering up.
Nitro Warrior (3800Atk/1800Def/Lvl7/Fire/Warrior)
"Nitro, attack with Dynamite Crunch!" Yusei ordered
Hunter: 700 (S.C:11)
"I'm still ahead!" Yelled Hunter, not ready to give up on all he worked for up to this point.
"Not for long. You see, Hunter, even though you had the lead for most of the Duel, your Life Points are about to run out of gas, forgive the pun. And it's all because of my Nitro Warrior's special ability."
"Wait! Now Junk Synchron gets switched to attack mode? But that means it can't protect me!" Yelled Hunter in dismay, his lent monster switching to attack mode.
"Nitro, attack!" Yelled Yusei
Hunter:0 (S.C:11)
As Hunter's Duel Runner stopped, Yusei rushed to help him up but stopped as he heard Hunter laugh
"Man, that was one hell of a Turbo Duel. I haven't had that much fun in a while." Hunter laughed as Yusei smiled at the man's antics
With Ben
"Man he's Good." Fader commented
"That's one way to put it." Ben said as he looked at the new bracket
Ben vs Akiza
Yusei vs Bommer
"Well shit. Well if Akiza doesn't kill me Misty will." Ben thought
