bopdog111: Okay back with this.
Ulrich362: True... for... a lot actually, there's going to be a lot.
bopdog111: What kind of contents?
Ulrich362: The Promotion Exams, and we have a large number of hopefully interesting duels.
bopdog111: And alongside that is Dennis' new cards. He won't use some as 1, a method it uses doesn't exist, and 2, one of the methods is from a different dimension but we have one of his ace cards at least so it be playable.
Ulrich362: True, though as for Dennis he'll probably duel last so we can double check a few things if needed. That said, let's see how the new promotion exams go.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or ARC-V but we own any OCs!
Helicopters, and ships and others are riding through over to Duel Academy. They are military like men on a special kind of mission. A mission that they hold precious cargo that must be delivered to Duel Academy no matter what, and they faced everything, poachers, thieves, other men... they faced it all but soon it's about to all pay off. Cause it be the day... where Duel Academy now receives there new rare cards!
Meanwhile in the Slifer Dorm...
Dennis slowly woken up hearing something... something like praying?
"Syrus?" Dennis places a hand on his shoulder.
"Please Slifer... please let me do well on today's promotion exams... I don't want to be stuck in red forever." Syrus was praying with a headband that had three cards in it. "Not that red is bad, I mean it looks great on you."
"S-SLIFER!" Syrus screamed jumping loud thinking Slifer actually came to him but sees it's Dennis where he can see Syrus' headband has three copies of Monster Reborn with him sitting in front of a poster of Slifer. "Oh, Dennis... did I woke you?"
"Just now, but relax... you can't give a good performance if you're stressed out." Dennis smiled softly. "Just think of it like any other class, it'll be a piece of cake."
"I always get Fs in class..." Syrus sighed from it having a bad feeling.
"Yeah anything can happen." they looked to Chumley who admitted. "Like I don't want to duel the ones who beat Crowler, or those two using those Fusions that dragon, and cat dancer like Decks. Maybe they'll sleep in, and we be lucky."
"That would suck, don't you want to see them in action?" Dennis asked curiously.
"Well duh but we be in better chances if we don't duel them... then again we're in different rank so that can't happen." Chumley admitted cupping his chin.
"Well, you never know... the Professor is changing things." Dennis shrugged.
"Yeah I thought it be Chancellor Sheppard taking as Chancellor again... I wonder why he was replaced..." Syrus admitted before pausing. "Ah crap, we're gonna be late for the written exam!"
"Then let's run." Dennis mentioned grabbing his bag. "Coming Chumley?"
"Hate running go on ahead." Chumley sighed as he hates running option to be in last to not run.
"If you say so, come on Syrus... maybe we won't be too late." Dennis grinned running out the door.
"Ah wait for me!" Syrus ran behind him with a groan.
Meanwhile...
"Okay promotion exam day." Sora said after checking over if his Deck is ready with a grin while Yuri is finishing packing up. Sora places his Deck in his Deck box before placing a lollipop in his mouth. "Alright Deck ready to go, and to start showing off my skills!" He then turned to his roommate. "You set?"
"I am." Yuri nodded putting a card on the top of his deck and putting it away. "Of course if we duel it won't be much of an exam."
"Unless it's that girl your dating right?" Sora teased with a grin.
"We are not dating!" Yuri snapped.
"Hey can't ever tease ya." Sora chuckled over only for the door to open where they see Jaden.
"Hey guys, you ready to head down?" Jaden grinned over.
"Yeah, hey where's Bastion?" Sora asked noticing that Jaden wasn't with his roommate.
"Left already." Jaden admitted over. "Wasn't there when I gotten up." Bastion is a example student so it wouldn't be too surprising for Bastion to already had to class very early.
"Well, shall we?" Yuri smirked only to pause and frown a bit.
"What's on your mind?" Sora notices his look wondering what's up.
"It's nothing." Yuri told him before walking out of the room.
Jaden stared confused before turning to Sora. "Come on Sora, time for class."
"Yeah... right." Sora nodded as they followed Yuri.
But suddenly they notice something. Looking over seeing see a woman struggling to push a van up with Dennis, and Syrus trying to help her out. Seeing that Jaden ran over. "Are you ok?"
"Ah more help?" the woman asked looking seeing him.
"Sure, I can't leave you on your own." Jaden smiled.
"Well that's nice..." the woman started before the van moved down taking them down as they stopped it which Sora, and Jaden ran over.
"Be nice if we push!" Jaden said as as they joined Dennis, and Syrus. "Hey Dennis, Sy! Crazy morning today with a workout huh?"
"You could say that... this is an... interesting start to the day." Dennis chuckled.
They all worked together pushing the van together with the woman. After a few hard minutes they managed to successfully push the van over to the destination as the woman sighed before turning over to the four smiling. "Thanks for the help boys... that really saved me some time to be ready. I won't forget this."
"No problem miss, all in a day's work." Dennis smiled.
"He's right, we're happy to help." Jaden agreed.
"Now sorry we should get to class, we're already late." Syrus sighed after checking his PDA.
"Not good, come on!" Sora called running to the classroom.
The woman stares as they ran off before softly smiling turning to her van to get some things figuring how to thank the kind young men that helped her out.
In class...
"You now have 45 minutes left on your exam." Professor Banner spoken to the students doing there tests for the written portion of the promotional exams before for the practical exam.
'This isn't so tough, a few tricky questions but nothing I can't handle.' Yuri smirked only to frown. 'Still, Sora isn't here and neither is he... the Professor is testing us Jaden.'
Just then the door opened as he looked seeing Jaden, Sora, Syrus, and Dennis entering the classroom.
"Sorry we're late Professor, we were helping a kind little old lady with her car." Jaden apologized.
"Then why don't you four come down here, and get your exams?"
Nodding they all walked down to get the exams.
'Slackers.' Chazz thought in annoyance.
After gaining there tests they sat down to begin the test but not 5 minutes into it they noticed Syrus, and Jaden fallen asleep. Jaden cause he finds it boring, Syrus cause he stayed up all night praying to Slifer. At the doorway was Dr. Crowler, while on a very strict warning from the Professor, and Barrett is trying to find better, clever ways where he can get Jaden, and Sora humiliated or out of the Academy after Barrett reported him.
'You may have been able to dream your way pass the written exam but when the practical begins it be a nightmare for you...' Dr. Crowler chuckled madly in his head before leaving to do something so his next plan can work without being caught.
Soon enough the written exam was over and Jaden decided to shake Syrus awake. "Sy... Syrus. Morning."
"Now everyone please walk do not run to the card shop for the new rare cards."
"There here!?"
"Oh dear..."
Students instantly got out of there seats to run to the card shop as fast as possible while both of Chazz's cronies tried to inform him which he orders them to go fetch while the others try waking Syrus up. Syrus was startled awake before starting having tears down his face. "Oh I flunk didn't I? I'm a complete failure...!"
"Sy, if there grading in drama class you get an A." Jaden grinned over to joke.
"Besides... who cares about a written test?" Yuri smirked. "The important thing is the practical dueling exam after all."
"Huh where is everyone?" Syrus looked around seeing almost everyone is gone.
"They all went to get new cards for their decks. To help for the practical exams." Bastion answered.
"What!?" Syrus only needed a few seconds for that to sink it for it to realize. "New cards how come they didn't tell us!?"
"Well everyone wants a new rare card to prepare for it." Bastion explained over.
"So why aren't you getting any?"
"My Deck's delicate balance is fine with the way it is, I don't need an error card to throw it off."
"I agree, my deck is strong enough already." Yuri smirked.
"You two should hurry before all the new cards are taken." Bastion advised them.
"Oh come on Jay!"
"Sure," Jaden grinned over. "There's nothing like the smell of new cards in the morning!" He turned over. "Thanks for the tip guys!" He ran up to try reaching the card shack with Syrus following close behind.
Just then the Gloria, and Grace's PDAs went off at the same time as everyone in the room turned over.
"Huh, what's going on you two?" Celina asked them.
They looked at each other before Grace smiled over. "Received notifications about the Slifer, and Ra Dorms for girls."
"Really?" Celina asked checking her own PDA to see what it said.
Dear student.
Due to a request from the current Headmaster of Duel Academy who had donated some money for the funding the Slifer Red, and Ra Yellow dorms for girls have been built, and completed this very morning. As there were previously no dorms at the time of the Entrance Exams, all female students are required to take the Promotion Exams to decide on the Rank for the female students to decide what Rank is better suited for them. Use all your dueling abilities to showcase how you duel, and do not hold back for a fair evaluation, and we apologize for any inconvenience for anything this brings.
From Duel Academy Staff.
"So... they're using the promotion exam as a kind of second entrance exam to decide our rank? Alright that sounds fair." Celina nodded.
"I wonder how many girls will still be in Obelisk Blue." Grace wondered. "Do you think your friends will stay in the dorm Alexis?"
"I'm not sure. Probably." Alexis admitted shrugging.
"Well, should we head to the dueling field?" Yuri inquired.
They nodded walking off to take the exam.
Meanwhile with the students they arrived at the card shack banging on it to try entering it that isn't open yet to get the new rare cards. But then some guards ran in forcing the students to break up as the captain walked in holding a sliver briefcase holding the Duel Academy Logo. "Oh children... looking for these!?" He raised up the briefcase to show them.
"Yes, new rare cards!" one of the students cried.
"Let us in!" another student cried out trying to get to the cards.
The captain moved opening the gate before looking over with a grin. "Come and gem em..." He entered in to place the cards on display.
All the students can't wait to get inside to see the cards. They wonder what powerful cards are there that are here? Powerful cards like Harpie's Feather Duster? Situational cards like Swords of Revealing Light? Or famous ones like Dark Magician? They all can't wait as the door rose up...
...Revealing a empty briefcase that has a sign saying: SOLD OUT
"What? How are they sold out already!?" a student cried as the students all started to complain about the lack of cards.
"You know the rules, first come, first serve." the counter girl named Sadie reminded gesturing to a cloaked man beside her near the briefcase.
"That's right, and I was first so I took all the rare cards for myself." the cloaked man smirked.
"Hey come on man!"
"My mom's gonna kill me for this!"
"It's not fair!"
Are among the many complaints the students have for the guy getting all of the cards he doesn't even look like he's even a student that he took every card that was meant for them. Complaining the crowd left as Syrus looked shocked. "He couldn't have taken everything right? There has to be at least one pack left."
"Let's check, and see." Jaden suggested over to the group of four.
Nodding the four of them walked in.
"Please tell me you have at least one pack left for today's practical exam." Syrus asked Sadie.
"Well of course we have packs," Sadie walked to the counter as they looked behind it as she takes a pack placing it which they see is a generic pack. "our regular booster packs though. Not much but something."
Syrus groaned in defeat hearing that only for Jaden to blink.
"Huh, oh you're that nice lady we helped before." he smiled.
Hearing that Sadie blinked before a voice chuckled. "Well good to see you again." She looked seeing the woman from before walking in with a smile.
"Oh, miss Dorothy." Sadie smiled. "Are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm doing fine Sadie. My stubborn van broke down, and I would've been late to set up shop if it wasn't for these four kind young men haven't came in, and helped me push it up through the hill." Mr. Dorothy explained over with a smile.
"Well we couldn't just leave you there on your own." Jaden smiled.
"Well here... I hid these away for polite young boys like yourselves." Ms. Dorothy presents them some card packs that were with the briefcase she asked the captain to give her.
"Really, that's sweet thanks." Jaden smiled.
"You're a lifesaver." Syrus agreed.
Meanwhile...
"And this guy just came in, and took all of the rare cards! And I mean every one!" one of Chazz's cronies explained as they walked with him through a corridor.
"So we couldn't get you any, sorry Chazz." the other apologized.
"Pathetic, how worthless are you two? How am I supposed to crush my opponent if you can't even get me some new rare cards for my deck?" Chazz questioned.
"By receiving some help." a voice spoken nearby as they looked seeing the cloaked figure. "As I have the same hatred of Jaden like you do Chazz."
"That's him Chazz, the creep who took all the cards." one of Chazz's cronies mentioned.
"Cards what cards? Oh you mean THESE!?" the figure opened his cloak revealing rows of cards in his cloak held up showing powerful cards like Ojama King, Hammer Shot, the XYZ cards, and all in between.
Even Chazz had to admit the cards this guy had were impressive. "So why show me those?"
"Hahaha... still recognize me Chazz? How about now!?" the guy removed the hood revealing his identity to them.
"Dr. Crowler!?" the two cronies cried in shock as Chazz frowned.
"You looked better all covered up... but what are you up to with those rare cards?" Chazz questioned.
Dr. Crowler slumped from his comment but raises up clearing his throat to ignore the insult. This is one of his best students after all, and after the stuff that he, and Chazz went through cause of Barrett, this be there chance to prove there right. "W-Well Chazz, I have a plan to benefit us all! I want you to be Jaden's test opponent, and use all these rare cards against him!"
"Him? We aren't in the same dorm so we won't duel each other." Chazz pointed out.
"That's not a worry anymore," Chazz raised an eyebrow as Dr. Crowler explained. "the Professor felt as though we're only holding the students back if they duel against the same members of the Dorm so for a more 'fair fighting chance' he decided to have students from different dorms duel one another should they so wish it."
"Oh? So I get the chance to put that slacker in his place?" Chazz asked. "Sounds good to me."
"You just make sure to put Jaden in his place in front of the Academy, and show the Professor, and Barrett he has no place in Ra Yellow, in Slifer like the slacker he is!" Dr. Crowler smirked over.
"Consider it done." Chazz smirked.
Dr. Crowler at that started laughing manically at this from this plan over. Jaden will be put in his place, he will have Sora taken care of, the Professor, and Barrett will learn he is correct that Jaden is not fit for Ra Yellow, and everything will be back the way it was before the Professor came in, and started changing things that his high end assessment was correct. Now he has to trust Chazz to handle the hard work while he proves to them he was right.
Later...
All of the students had gathered to watch the promotion exams as the Professor himself was standing on the field as he looked at the gathered students.
"Now everyone pay attention to me before we begin the Promotion Exams. There are several things to address." the Professor said with his arms behind him to start talking.
All of the students turned and gave him their full attention.
"I am looking for a good clean fight between everyone one of you, as it can affect what your rank. Prove you have what it takes to advance, or defend your rank against those seeking to claim it. Win or lose, it doesn't matter all that should matter is doing your best to prove to everyone your talent, and clever thinking in duels." the Professor spoke over for everyone. "And I'm sure for the female students if they were alerted, the Slifer Red, and Ra Yellow Dorms for girls has been completed we were notified this morning. This will act as Entrance Exam 2.0 as there were no dorms for them at the first, so girls I wish you the best of luck to prove yourselves to see what rank you all will get into."
Some of the girls looked nervous but they all nodded as there were whispers among the students.
"With that said, we're going to start with a duel between two of this academy's alleged best students... Alexis Rhodes will duel Zane Truesdale." the Professor stated. "After them, six duels will occur at once to ensure everyone has an opportunity to duel but this is something I expect all of you to watch and learn from."
Alexis blinked shocked hearing that not expecting that sort of match up. "Me... and Zane?"
"Go for it Alexis, show everyone what you're made of." Mindy smiled.
"You're one of the best duelists at the academy." Jasmine agreed. "We're right behind you girlfriend."
Hearing that Alexis blushed but nodded heading down to duel the best duelist at the academy. Alexis walked down arriving were Zane is waiting with crossed arms. She never expected to duel Zane already well at least at some point by this early? Never crossed her mind...
"When was the last time we dueled each other Lex?" Zane asked her.
"It's been a long time." Alexis admitted.
"Well let's see what you got." Zane readies activating his Duel Disk.
Alexis readied her own Duel Disk.
"Let's Duel!"

Field: Nothing
Zane: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
Alexis 1st Turn:
'Alright, I can't be reckless against Zane so I'll start off like this.' Alexis thought taking a card. "I play Machine Angel Ritual!"
Machine Angel Ritual

This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Cyber Angel" Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If a LIGHT monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect while this card is in your GY, you can banish this card instead.

If this card is in the Graveyard: You can banish 1 other "Cyber Angel" monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; Special Summon this card, and if you do, take control of that monster.
"Ritual Summon, you don't see that often." Sora admitted from this.
"No you don't. Not popular around here as it's described as 'Deck fattening', and that it takes a bit of resources to use as unlike Fusion Monsters, you need the monster you want to summon in your hand as well." Bastion explains the inherent flaw Ritual Monsters have, and despite there potential most duelists just brush it away calling it useless not willing to spend many resources to use them.
"Maybe for an amateur but Alexis made Ritual Summoning her bread and butter, she's a master at using it." Mindy grinned.
"Ok Zane, now I'll use Natasha's effect to gain life points equal to half the attack points of a monster I control." Alexis mentioned as Natasha began to glow.
(Alexis: 4500/Hand: 2)
"One set card ends my turn."

If only your opponent controls a monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
"I had a feeling you'd start with him." Alexis admitted.
"Hang on that card's Level 5 isn't it? He needed a Tribute to summon it." Jaden notices the level from it figuring Zane might've made a mistake.
"No he knows what he's doing." Syrus knowing his brother well knew that making a mistake such as Normal Summoning a Level 5 monster without a sacrifice is something Zane won't ever do. "Cyber Dragon can be Special Summoned if only Alexis has a monster on her field so since he doesn't have a monster but she does, Zane can summon it instantly."
"That's a sweet card." Jaden grinned. 'No wonder the Professor wanted him for that special project.'
"And next Lex, I summon Cyber Dragon Core." Materializing was a small Cyber Dragon having a red core on it's body growling.

"I have a feeling I know what card that is too." Alexis admitted.
"You will see soon." Zane ends his turn setting a card. "I end my turn."
"That's it? He's not attacking?" Grace asked confused why Zane didn't attack as after seeing Alexis' duel with Jaden she never seen the Cyber Angel, Alexis is using, and as the two know each other a bit can assume Natasha has a counter effect if Zane does attack.

Monsters that were Special Summoned by this effect cannot activate their effects. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect.
"As Cyber Dragon is on my field, I banish 1 LIGHT Machine monster from my Deck." Zane takes a card from his Deck as it vanished.
"I end my turn." Alexis frowned.

"Then I draw." Zane drew checking over.

"And I activate Evolution Burst!" Zane activates a spell.

"By using this card, Natasha is destroyed!" Cyber Dragon charged a blue proton blast blasting it over at Natasha.
"I banish Machine Angel Ritual to protect Natasha from being destroyed!" Alexis countered.
A barrier appeared which blocks the blast keeping Natasha from being destroyed as she grinned over. But Zane stared over. "But now she is vulnerable."

If this card on the field is destroyed by card effect: Add 1 "Cyber" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Cybernetic Overflow" once per turn.
"By banishing Cyber Dragons from my hand, field that are face-up or in the graveyard that are different in Level, I destroy an equal number of your cards." Zane explained over to Alexis who blinked. "Cyber Dragon Core counts as Cyber Dragon in the graveyard," he raises up his hand with 2 fingers up. "so I can destroy 2 of your cards."
"What?" Alexis cried in shock.
"My choices are Natasha, and your face-down." Cyber Dragon on his field vanished with Core as they charged in at Alexis' field cards. Natasha was torn apart from the electricity screeching as she was vaporized while her set card shattered to pieces.
Alexis frowned at that but she looked seeing Zane only had his capsule, Cyber Network, and one set card.
"Alright Zane, I'll use Machine Angel Absolute Ritual, sending Cyber Angel Benten to the graveyard in order to Ritual Summon Cyber Angel Idaten!"

Zane nodded watching as she does this.
"I'll set this card, and attack directly with Idaten!" Alexis called.
Idaten charges in as Zane stared on where she slashes down on Zane while said boy stepped back. (Zane: 1800/Hand: 0)
Alexis blinked seeing that only to frown. "I end my turn."
"Am I missing something, if he doesn't make a move Zane's going to lose the duel in no time." Sora pointed out.

"Whoa, so that's what he was planning!" Jaden grinned seeing that. "He's a sweet duelist."
Since Zane's battle is skipped, he can't use his combo for now. But only one last turn. With that thought he searches his Deck again. "First like before as Cyber Dragon Core was summoned, I take a Cyber Spell or Trap Card to my hand." He takes a card adding it before setting a card. "Your move now."
"Since Zane's battle was skipped he can't use it right now." Syrus spoke knowing what was Zane's combo but from Cyber Network he can't use it unless he takes the consequences.
Zane's Hand: 2/Field: Cyber Dragon (Attack Position/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2100) x2, Cyber Dragon Core (Attack Position/Name: Cyber Dragon/ATK: 900/DEF: 2000), Cyber Dragon Vier (Name: Cyber Dragon/ATK: 1600/DEF: 2100), One Set Card

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except with "Attack Reflector Unit". Once per turn, while this card is in Attack Position, your opponent's next attack is negated.
"Interesting, I'm guessing this monster has a defensive ability." Yuri smirked.
"Yeah one that's real useful depending on Zane's opponent's set up. She forced him to activate it early so whatever she does next will hinder or help it." Syrus admitted over seeing this.
"I use the effect of Cyber Angel Natasha in my graveyard!" Alexis called. "I banish Benten to bring her back and I take control of Cyber Dragon Vier!"
Natasha reappeared in attack position as Vier started to glow.
Cyber Angel Natasha: (Attack Position)
Vier growled over forced over to Alexis' side.
"As I don't have Vier on my side anymore, the boost it grants wears off." Zane spoken over as both his remaining monsters lost the boost.
Cyber Dragon: (ATK: 2600 - 500 = 2100/DEF: 2100 - 500 = 1600) x2
"But it stays on mine." Alexis mentioned. "Which means I can use Natasha's ability to gain life points equal to half Vier's attack points."
(Alexis: 5800/Hand: 2)
"And then, I'll summon Cyber Petit Angel!"A small pink mechanical angel rose up.
(Attack Position)

ATK: 300
DEF: 200
If this card is Summoned: You can add 1 "Cyber Angel" monster or "Machine Angel Ritual" from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Cyber Petit Angel" once per turn.
"When she's summoned I can add any Cyber Angel or Machine Angel Ritual to my hand so I'll add Cyber Angel Dakini! Now, Natasha attack Cyber Barrier Dragon!"
Natasha readies over as Zane closed his eyes. "When you attack Cyber Barrier Dragon negates your first attack." Cyber Barrier Dragon charged a protective shield which blocked Natasha's attack.
"But not Vier's attack!" Alexis called.
Vier charges in piercing through Barrier Dragon which exploded around as Zane raise an arm. (Zane: 0800/Hand: 1)
"Zane... losing?" Dr. Crowler can't believe what he was seeing, Zane Truesdale, his most proud Obelisk is losing in a duel. This can't be happening he been the top student for almost 3 years in a row, and seeing this stuns him to his very soul. Although he is proud that Alexis is showcasing how she duels, can't believe she's pushing him back.
"I think he still has a move to make Crowler." Barrett who was in the room with him stated over narrowing his eye. "Don't count your top Obelisk out just yet, she can't attack anymore this time."
'Ok, that's all I can do for now but I should win next turn.' Alexis thought. "I end my turn."
Alexis's Hand: 0/Field: Cyber Angel Natasha (Attack Position/ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000), Cyber Angel Dakini (Attack Position/ATK: 3700/DEF: 3400), Cyber Dragon Vier (Name: Cyber Dragon/ATK: 1600/DEF: 2100)

"My turn." Zane drew checking. "And I activate Pot of Greed." The pot appeared which he draws two cards, and shows one of his drawn cards. "And I activate Dark Hole!"
Dark Hole
Normal Spell Card
Destroy all monsters on the field.
"With this card's effect every monster in play is destroyed!" A giant sucking vortex appeared sucking all four of the monsters.
Alexis watched in shock as the four monsters were absorbed by the vortex.
"And I activate Cybernetic Fusion Support!" Zane then reveals a Quick-Play Spell.
Cybernetic Fusion Support
Quick-Play Spell Card
Pay half your LP; once, if you Fusion Summon a Machine Fusion Monster this turn, you can banish monsters from your hand, field, and/or GY as the Fusion Materials. You can only activate 1 "Cybernetic Fusion Support" per turn.

"By trading half of my Life Points, I don't need monsters to summon a Fusion Monster this turn!" Zane then takes another card. "And next I use Power Bond!"
Power Bond
Normal Spell Card

During the End Phase of the turn this card is activated, you take damage equal to the amount of ATK gained from this effect at the time of the Summon.
"By using monsters from my field, or hand I can summon a Machine Fusion Monster! But due to Cybernetic Fusion Support's effect, I can banish those cards instead!" the two Cyber Dragons alongside Core exited out of the graveyard.
Alexis frowned seeing that before sighing as she smiled. "I thought I had you Zane... maybe next time?"
Zane smiled before nodding before raising his arm.
"Three revolutionized dragons of protons! Form together into the very Dragon capable of ending all battles! Fusion Summon! Emerge now, Cyber End Dragon!"
As the light faded something rose up behind Zane revealing itself as a limbless giant silver Dragon having large folding wings, a green orb on it's chest, and three mechanical heads of different design all roaring loud.
(Attack Position)
Cyber End Dragon
LIGHT

DEF: 2800
"Cyber Dragon" + "Cyber Dragon" + "Cyber Dragon"
A Fusion Summon of this card can only be done with the above Fusion Materials. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage.
"4000, but that's not enough." Jaden pointed out.
"Now the effect of Power Bond applies which gives Cyber End the edge." Zane brought up. "Due to Power Bond the attack points of Cyber End Dragon double!"
Coated in electricity Cyber End's power grew exponentially.
Cyber End Dragon: (ATK: 4000 x 2 = 8000)
"What the... 8000!?" Chumley was flabbergasted at the amount of attack points Cyber End now has.
Dr. Crowler couldn't help but grin seeing Zane managed to win in the end. "You see why Zane's been our top student for so long Professor?"
The Professor on the field stared over a bit impressed with Zane's abilities. Despite Zane struggling a little he can see quite a bit of potential ahead for the Top Student. Maybe if he can give some aid with some cards to help expand him it might be different.
"And now Cyber End Dragon attack Alexis directly! Super Strident Blaze!" Cyber End charged a triple proton attack firing at Alexis.
The blast hit as she fell to her hands and knees while her life points dropped to zero in one blast.
Alexis: 0000
Hand: 0
Field: Nothing
Zane: 0400
Hand: 0
Field: Cyber End Dragon (Attack Position/ATK: 8000)
Zane wins!
He walked over offering a hand to Alexis who looks up. Smiling she took it as they walked back to their seats.
"Well, now that you've all seen two of our top students let's begin the exams... when your name is called come down." Dr. Crowler grinned.
"From what I seen," Before the two walked back, the Professor walked back looking over at Alexis. "your dueling abilities are interesting, and impressive using Ritual to that kind of decree. And nearby beating the Top Student of Duel Academy is no easy feat to achieve which is why by right of Headmaster, you will stay as an Obelisk Blue, Alexis Rhodes."
"Thank you." she nodded with a small bow.
So they walked back, and Jasmine pat Alexis' shoulder with a grin. "Way to go girlfriend!"
"Thanks." she smiled.
Dr. Crowler was calling the first duels only to pause. "Yuri and Celina, you two will be dueling in field four."
"Whoa you two again?" Sora asked Yuri with a grin. "Well time to settle the score huh?"
"Indeed it is after she's a interesting opponent." Yuri said with his usual smirk. "Now for me to settle the blow for us." That said he walked down towards the field.
Celina walked down herself before smiling. "Hold on, before we begin Yuri... this won't end the same way."
She showed her Final Fusion as she put it in her pocket, meaning it wasn't in her deck. Yuri smirked over. "Then I wish you luck," He bowed over raising up. "cause without that card, you won't have a chance." He readied his Duel Disk saying that.
"I'll believe that when you beat me." Celina replied activating hers.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Unbreakable by Fireflight)
Yuri: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Celina: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
While everyone was excited or interested the Professor himself stared on with all his focus. Yuri, and Celina... he knows the very nature of these two, known them even when there born. If he knows them well enough they'll showcase there abilities in Fusion Summoning. As he expects them to do.
"Alright lady's first." Yuri isn't typically one for common courtesy but since this is there rematch, and Celina took out Final Fusion, he figures he gives her the headstart.
Celina 1st Turn:
"Gee thanks." she rolled her eyes. "I set two cards and play a monster in defense position... that's all for now."
Celina's Hand: 2/Field: One Set Monster, Two Set Cards
Yuri 1st Turn:
"My turn now." Yuri drew smirking checking. Seeing what his drawn card is made him grin more "Ah interesting..." He looked over to her with a grin. "Well Celina, your in for a treat... I hardly had a chance to use this card."
"What are you talking about?" Celina frowned.
"See for yourself." Yuri raised his Duel Disk as they see the Field Spell slot opened that he places the card. "Cause we are gonna be inside the Fusion Recycling Plant!" At that the scenery changes around them as Celina looked around as the place transformed. When it finished they see they are in a plant like foundation with several artifacts people seen on cards, eye like monsters, and futuristic floatation devices guiding people around the plant.

"This..." Celina blinked looking around. "You use this field spell?"
"Yes, indeed a old spell but serves a great deal for me." Yuri grinned over. "Shall I give an example." He reveals a card in his hand as the eye robots dug a pile which pulled out a card that's a copy of the card Yuri is showing flying it in a vat. "Cause I'll be recycling this Predaplant Cordyceps from my hand, in order to have be formed into our usual spell!" Alongside the card was several of the junk as a machine worked before it ejected a card that one of the workers rose up revealing Polymerization which a copy is ejected from Yuri's Deck that he shows to Celina before placing it in his hand.
She grinned. "Alright."
"And next I use Polymerization!" Yuri reveals the spell.

Yuri nodded checking his hand, and sets a card. "During this end phase, the other effect of Fusion Recycling Plant activates. Since you also know this field spell, you know what it is don't you?"
"One of your Fusion Materials comes back." Celina nodded.
Yuri takes it showing Ophrys Scorpio adding it to his hand. "That said, I end my turn."

"Emerald bird that soars through the night! Graceful hunter of darkness! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Come to me! Beautiful beast that dances in the moonlight! Lunalight Cat Dancer!"

Yuri raised an eyebrow from this turning over from not seeing this trap card.
"Now, I also have the effects of Emerald Bird and Yellow Marten." Celina continued changing over placing a card before adding one. "Emerald Bird brings Purple Butterfly in defense position and Yellow Marten adds Lunalight Fusion to my hand." Purple Butterfly rose back up in Defense.
Purple Butterfly: (Defense Position)
"Wait what was that?" They were never explained what the trap can do which is why Syrus asked that.
"Lunalight Serenade Dance has two effects that activate whenever I Fusion Summon." Celina answered looking over at him. "First, it summons a Lunalight Token to my opponent's field and then my Fusion Monster gains 500 attack points for every monster on his field. Now with that done, I'll use the effect of my Cat Dancer to tribute Lunalight Purple Butterfly and allow Cat Dancer to attack all your monsters twice but they aren't destroyed by the first attack."
Purple Butterfly vanished as Cat Dancer got ready for battle.
"Now, Lunalight Cat Dancer attacks the Lunalight Token and when she attacks you take 100 damage before the battle."
Cat Dancer charged in as Yuri glowed a bit. (Yuri: 3900/Hand: 2) Cat Dancer then slashed down on the Token which forces him to step back. (Yuri: 2500/Hand: 2) Yuri looks up grinning over. "From that you already found a way to strike a lot of damage while avoiding Chimerafflesia's effect from weakening it."
"I'm not a beginner." Celina told him. "I attack the token a second time!"
Cat Dancer which Yuri glowed again. (Yuri: 2400/Hand: 2) Cat Dancer slashed down destroying the Token which made Yuri wince from it. (Yuri: 1000/Hand: 2) He raise up before grinning over towards his opponent. "Well interesting Celina, I knew from back then you were a interesting opponent, and you continue to do so. Please do keep this up."
"Sorry, but I'm not planning on walking into your Fusion Monster so I'll set this card in defense position and end my turn." Celina told him.
Celina's Hand: 2/Field: Lunalight Cat Dancer (Attack Position/ATK: 3400), One Set Monster, Lunalight Serenade Dance (face-up)
Yuri 2nd Turn:
"Very well then." Yuri drew checking with a grin. "And I'll start with a ability that luckwise you don't know of." She blinked as he explained. "Cause once every turn Chimerafflesia banishes a monster on your field that's equal or lower in level then it!" Chimerafflesia dug vines into the ground which emerges wrapping around Cat Dancer restraining it's movements to take it down as she's struggled to break out of it.
Celina's eyes widened in shock. "Cat Dancer can't be destroyed in battle... but she can be banished."
With one squeeze from the vines Cat Dancer was forced off the field which they returned to Chimerafflesia's side.
"Man we often seen her monsters can't be targeted or some protection effects... but he managed to exploit one of the ones that one didn't have." Cody spoke with the Obelisk Blues alongside Zane seeing this which they recalled there earlier duel.
"Every card has a weakness, the challenge is finding what those weaknesses are." Zane told him.
"And to keep this going." Yuri grinned showing a trap discarding it as before the robots found the card in the junk bringing it over where it formed a Polymerization. "By discarding a card, I take Polymerization from my graveyard back to my hand!" The card ejected which he takes before then placing a card. "Then I summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio!"

Raising was a large plant monster with 'heads', and multiple eyes on it's heads around.

"Beautiful Chimera Flower! Form together with the two plants of insect pheromones, and from the petals that bloom reform into a grand terror! Fusion Summon! Come out, Predaplant Triphyoverutum!" At that raising up was a large three headed plant like monster shaped as a dragon readying roaring loud.

● If your opponent controls a monster with a Predator Counter(s): You can Special Summon this card from your GY in Defense Position.
"That... 3000!?" Celina cried in shock.
"And get's better." Yuri grinned before calling. "I activate the effect of the trap I discarded this round! Predaplanning! As I Fusion Summoned while this card is in the graveyard, I banish it to destroy 1 card on your field! And my target would obviously be your face-down monster!"
A dark lightning bolt gathered on Triphyoverutum before it blast it over on Celina's face-down.

Celina's monster shattered as she winced.
(Celina: 2800/Hand: 2)
"Well this isn't looking too hot for you." Yuri grinned over to her as he adds Ophrys Scorpio back to his hand from the graveyard again with Fusion Recycling Plant's effect. "What can you do now?"

"Then, I'll use Luna Light Perfume."

"But when I Special Summon her, the original attack points of another one of my Lunalight Monsters is doubled.

"Attack Predaplant Triphyoverutum!"
Yuri blinked as Crimson Fox yowled charging in slashing down at Yuri's Fusion Monster which made it roared loud destroyed in a mess of particles which Yuri stared over before then smirking. (Yuri: 0400/Hand: 1)
"What's so funny?" Celina questioned.
"It been a while since anyone has managed to destroy Triphyoverutum, and without Fusion Summoning." Yuri smirked opening his eyes. "But now I should start getting serious. Same goes for you?"
Celina blinked before frowning as she looked at her last card in her hand. "I return Crimson Fox to my hand! That way, I can summon Yellow Marten back from the graveyard in Defense Position!" Crimson Fox left the field as Yellow Marten rose with a grin. "I end my turn."

"What are you planning?" Celiina asked him.
"Try to guess as I recycle... this Ophrys Scorpio in my hand," Yuri smirked showing the card discarding it before recovering Polymerization from his graveyard. "to take Polymerization back, and use it to summon something that's eager to face you again!" His newly revived Predaplants fused together above him.
Celina's eyes widened as she frowned
"Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"

If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: You can destroy all your opponent's Special Summoned monsters.
Seeing it the Professor grunted staring at the dragon with serious eyes. He no doubts recognizes this monster... a monster which has ruined his life before. A monster that was wielded by...
"And now Celina," Yuri interrupted his thought by said boy smirking. "what do you think of this rematch?" His dragon growled over to Celina. "He's eager to finish where he left off from Final Fusion preventing him from doing so before."
"I can't Fusion Summon right now, but your dragon can't deal damage with my monsters in defense position." Celina pointed out.
"True but doesn't mean, I can't get rid of one of them! Starving Venom attack Yellow Marten with Megaflare Attack!" Starving Venom charges up before firing a combined blast over towards Yellow Marten.
Celina's monster shattered as she frowned.
"Now with that, I end my turn." Yuri grinned over setting a card while adding Pterapenthes back to his hand from Fusion Recycling Plant's effect.
Yuri's Hand: 1/Field: Fusion Recycling Plant (Field Zone), Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

Celina blinked seeing that. "What's the point of that card?"
"When you summoned White Rabbit, I use Predaplast to place a Predator Counter." Yuri smirked over before adding. "And since a monster with a Predator Counter left the field, Predaplant's effect now allows me to take a Predap card to my hand." He adds a card to his hand as he said that.
"Well my effects activate, Serenade Dance summons a Lunalight Token to your field and gives Leo Dancer 1000 attack points." Celina told him while a second Token formed on his field.
Lunalight Token: (Attack Position)
Lunalight Leo Dancer: (ATK: 3500 + (500 * 2) = 4500)
"And since Crimson Fox went to the graveyard by a card effect your dragon loses all its attack points."
Crimson Fox rose from the graveyard firing some sonar waves which Starving Venom roared loud weakening.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: (ATK: 2800 - 2800 = 0)
Seeing this Yuri widen his eyes.
"Leo Dancer, attack Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Celina called.
Leo Dancer roared charging in ahead raising her sword, and slashed down slashing down Starving Venom in half was it roared destroyed while Yuri stared. "Am I... losing?" He then starts laughing as the explosion enveloped him revealing he's on his back as Fusion Recycling Plant faded around them.

Celina wins!
"Yuri... lost?" Sora asked in disbelief.
"Doesn't that happen?" Jaden asked him confused.
"No... it doesn't." Sora answered staring in awe. "Yuri... he's never lost once."
"Never?" Syrus asked shocked unable to believe that as at some point someone loses a duel but someone like Yuri never being beaten just once?
"No... he never loses... I once got a DRAW but that was the best I've ever managed... he doesn't lose." Sora answered.
"Whoa now me, and him have to duel now." Jaden grinned feeling a grand challenge from this wanting to duel Yuri himself after hearing that.
"Well Professor, another talented Obelisk wins." Dr. Crowler smirked as his ego was swelling.
"Indeed..." the Professor agreed walking over towards Celina who turned to him. "You are keeping your rank as Obelisk Blue, Celina, but I have bigger plans I am trusting you for one day."
Hearing that she nodded. "Of course."
So the two walked back up at this as Mindy smiled over to Celina. "That was great Celina! You rocked!"
"Thanks." she smiled at that.
"How did it feel to beat him girl?" Jasmine asked her with a grin.
"Satisfying." Celina answered.
"What did the Professor say your rank is?" Mindy asked her curiously.
"He said... he had bigger plans for me." Celina answered. "Though I'm pretty sure I'm staying in Blue."
Jasmine blinked hearing that. "Bigger plans? Did he say why?"
"No, but he probably will later." Celina shrugged.
"Alright for the next duel ahead, would Sora Perse, and Dimitri please head down?" Dr. Crowler announced over two Ra Yellows to head down next for them to duel which Sora grinned over from this.
"You should just surrender to me now." Dimitri stated in a sinister tone.
They walked over as Sora looks at Dimitri who has brown hair with yellow bangs on it walking to the field where he spoke that to him which Sora blinked over. "Hey your voice alright? You need a cough drop?" From how it sounded to Sora it sounded a little raspy.
"The only thing I need is defeat you." Dimitri smirked. "I'll go first."
Sora shrugged as they readied. "DUEL!"
Sora: 4000
Dimitri: 4000
"Alright you said, your going first so lead on." Sora pops a piece of Hershey's Kisses in his mouth eating while saying that.
As the rest of the duels in that group finished it was time for the next group of duels.

'Go ahead, destroy my monster you'll only be helping my strategy.' Dimitri thought seeing the monster.

"Then I use Toy Parade!" Sora activates a third spell from his hand.
Toy Parade

(This card is always treated as a "Frightfur" card.)
Target 1 DARK monster you control Special Summoned from the Extra Deck; for the rest of this turn, you cannot declare attacks except with that monster, also each time that monster destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY, it can attack again in a row. If you control a Fairy monster, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 Level 4 or lower DARK monster from your GY to your hand. You can only use 1 "Toy Parade" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
"By only allowing Tiger to attack, it can attack again if it destroys a monster in battle, and sends it to the graveyard!" Tiger glowed bright as it yowled.
"What!?" Dimitri cried in shock sounding more normal.
"Go Tiger attack Portrait's Secret!" Tiger charged in slashing down on Portrait's Secret.
The monster shattered as Dimitri braced himself.
(Dimitri: 1500/Hand: 4)
"And now Tiger finish him!" Tiger charged over to Dimitri slashing down on him.
The attack hit as Dimitri crashed to the ground.
Dimitri: 0000
Winner Sora.
"One Turn Kill..." Doesn't happen much often which shows how powerful duelists are, and the Professor knows they mean skill from it. So he walked over towards Sora. "Well Sora congratulations on your victory." He turned over towards the older man. "Your more then welcomed for Obelisk Blue after what you shown today."
"Thanks." Sora grinned as Dimitri looked stunned.
"How, this deck was good enough to make it to the Battle City finals! How did I lose!?" he cried in disbelief.
Hearing that they looked over towards him. On the ground were copies of The Portrait's Secret, Headless Knight, Dark Necrofear, Destiny Board, and Dark Sanctuary.
"If you want to know." the Professor walked over to the downed Dimitri. "The Deck your using is outdated from the time it is now. Much too slow, and required too much setup. Have a deck for the modern times." That said he turned walking off.
Dimitri just frowned before running off.
"Not a good sore loser is he?" Jasmine frowned as they stared while Sora walked back to them.
Bastion shrugged over with crossed arms. "Well it's to be expected, he never uses a original Deck at least."
"Really? That's kind of weird." Syrus admitted.
"Yes a unique strategy but one that's doomed to fail as he has a reputation as the Copycat Duelist." Bastion nodded over agreeing as he turned over. "I had hoped he would make his own Deck by the time the Promotion Exams but it seems I was incorrect as usual about him."
"Maybe you could help him make a deck?" Sora suggested with a shrug. "I mean... yeah you'd know how it works but it could help inspire him."
"Hmm... I can try." Bastion cupped his chin in thought knowing it be tough to help Dimitri but if it can help him grow as his own duelist he should give that a try.
"Now then for the next match we have Mindy against Jasmine." the Professor announced over to everyone for who's next.
The two girls exchanged a glance as they both looked nervous since depending on how it went they might not be in the same dorm anymore before walking down together.
"This might be interesting." Bastion admitted as he stared over. "The two are Obelisks together, and whoever loses will be in a different dorm."
"Maybe not, what if they both do really well?" Jaden asked.
"Alexis what do you think?" Grace turned to said girl figuring her opinion is best.
"Jasmine has the advantage." she answered.
Arriving on the field Jasmine looks over to Mindy before grinning. "Hey girl?"
"Yeah?" Mindy asked her. "What's up girlfriend?"
"Hey... no matter if we're in different dorms... let's be sure to give this all we got okay? No holding back!" Jasmine smiled over with a clenched fist to spark motivation, and fighting spirit for Mindy so she can be eager to give this her all, and make this match memorable.
"Of course." Mindy smiled. "You can go first this time."
"Right!" that said they prepared there Duel Disks.
"DUEL!"

"Okay my turn first." Jasmine checks her hand, and takes a card. "I place a face-down, and end my turn."
Jasmine's Hand: 4/Field: One Set Card
Mindy 1st Turn:
'Just a set card?' Mindy thought drawing. "Ok, in that case I'll set one of my own monsters facedown and I'll play this set card too."
Mindy's Hand: 4/Field: One Set Monster, One Set Card
Jasmine: 4000
Hand: 4
Field: One Set Card
Mindy: 4000
Hand: 4
Field: One Set Monster, One Set Card

"Okay my turn now, draw!" Jasmine drew checking over. Nodding she places her drawn card down, "Alright I use Umiiruka!" At that appearing around them was a large ocean area with water forms of fishes swimming around.
(Field Zone)
Umiiruka
Field Spell Card
Increase the ATK of all WATER monsters by 500 points and decrease their DEF by 400 points.
"That isn't good." Mindy frowned seeing the water.
"Probably not even when I use this! The trap card, Forgotten Temple of the Deep!" Jasmine activates a face-down as a ruined temple rose from behind her.
(face-up)
Forgotten Temple of the Deep
Continuous Trap Card
While this card is on the field, this card's name becomes "Umi". Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Fish, Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monster you control; banish that target. During your End Phase: Special Summon the monster(s) banished by this effect.
Forgotten Temple of the Deep: (Name: Umi)
Mindy flinched.
"This seems to be a one-sided duel so far." Barrett noted.
"Indeed but don't count the other girl out just yet. From reading there backgrounds they know each other real well which is why I have them against each other." the Professor stated over.
For his grand plans he intends to have the students work against each other as opponents so that they give no mercy to there future enemies so that they can grow strong, and grow there potential as duelists well. He does value friendship, and companionship but he knows that at times you may lose them from circumstances which the Professor hopes to instill in the students so that it will assist them better to keep fighting ahead, and do all they can to ensure there sacrifices won't be in vain.
"Next I summon Penguin Torpedo!" At that a small penguin shaping as a torpedo rose up on the field.
(Attack Position)

Level 3
Aqua/Effect
ATK: 550
DEF: 300
This card can attack directly.

You can only use this effect of "Penguin Torpedo" once per turn. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: Destroy this card.
"And as Umiiruka is on the field Torpedo gains 500 Attack Points but loses 400 of those Defense." Penguin Torpedo grew slightly larger.
Penguin Torpedo: (ATK: 550 + 500 = 1050/DEF: 300 - 400 = 0)
"That's kinda a little weak isn't it?" Sora asked confused.
"Penguin Torpedo can attack directly." Alexis explained. "Plus after it attacks it gets destroyed so Mindy won't be able to counterattack."
"Whoa attack directly? And with the Field Spell powering it up, that's some serious damage!" Jaden grinned from this real eager to see what Jasmine can do.
"Alright Mins here I come! Penguin Torpedo go!" the monster charged diving into the water over before shooting out charging ahead at Mindy.
Mindy braced herself as the attack hit.
(Mindy: 2950/Hand: 4)
"Now as it dealt damage Penguin Torpedo destroys itself." the monster glowed over before Jasmine grinned. "However, Forgotten Temple's effect now activates banishing Torpedo before it blows itself up!"
Water tendrils grabbed on Penguin Torpedo pulling it down before it vanished under the ocean. Syrus blinked from this move here not sure what benefit that gives Jasmine. "It would be gone anyway right so what was the point of that?"
"Forgotten Temple of the Deep revives the banished monster during her End Phase, which gets around her monster's effect." Zane answered calmly.
"Yes Penguin Torpedo destroys itself after it attacks but it can be circumvented like how she displayed." Bastion explained with a soft grin. "By banishing it the moment it's effect activates, the effect resolves without any effect, and at the end of her turn, it's summoned back without the risk of being destroyed so she can still have a monster on the field."
"Sweet move." Jaden grinned hearing that.
"Alright I set a card girl." Jasmine grinned as Penguin Torpedo rose back on her field.
Penguin Torpedo: (Attack Position/ATK: 550 + 500 = 1050/DEF: 300 - 400 = 0)
Jasmine's Hand: 2/Field: Umiiruka (Field Zone), Penguin Torpedo (Attack Position/ATK: 1050/DEF: 0), Forgotten Temple of the Deep (face-up/Name: Umi), One Set Card

Mindy drew her card only to blink and grin. "My turn, I summon Machina Gearframe!"

Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 Machine monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead.
"When Gearframe is summoned I can add a Machina monster to my hand, like my Machina Citadel."
She searches her Deck, and adds a a card showing it to Jasmine adding it while the girl in front of her grinned.
"Now, Citadel is nice but I think I'll send it straight to the graveyard in order to bring out Machina Fortress!" Mindy grinned as what rose up beside Gearframe was a larger robot readying over for battle.
(Attack Position)
Machina Fortress
EARTH
Level 7

DEF: 1600
You can discard Machine monster(s) whose total Levels equal 8 or more, then Special Summon this card (from your hand or GY). If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: Target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target. Before resolving an opponent's monster effect that targets this face-up card, look at your opponent's hand and discard 1 card from their hand.
"Then, I'll use a pair of spell cards. Machina Armored Unit and Machina Defense Perimeter!"
(face-up)

You can only use this effect of "Machina Defense Perimeter" once per turn.
"Machina Fortress attack Penguin Torpedo!"
Fortress charged it's large cannon aiming over at torpedo before blasting over engulfing Penguin Torpedo destroying it while Jasmine braced herself from the shockwave. (Jasmine: 2550/Hand: 2)
"No monsters in play girlfriend, so MAchina Gearframe can attack you directly!" Mindy called.
Gearframe charges ahead. But Mindy sees a grin on Jasmine's face but before she can think of anything Jasmine already made the counter play. "Okay Pinpoint Guard activate!" A trap revealed itself.
Pinpoint Guard
Normal Trap Card
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in Defense Position. It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn.
"I take a monster that's level 4 or lower, and summon it in Defense Position with the benefit it can't be destroyed this turn!" Jasmine grinned showing Penguin Torpedo's card before placing it on the field as it rose in Defense forcing Gearframe to stop.
Penguin Torpedo: (Defense Position/ATK: 550 + 500 = 1050/DEF: 300 - 400 = 0/Cannot be destroyed)
"So even if Temple of the Forgotten Deep's effect failed, she still has a way to bring it back for the next round." Bastion said impressed by Jasmine able to still have a backup plan should Temple's effect not work, or Torpedo's effect to destroy itself was carried over.
"I should have guessed, ok in that case I'll use Machina Gearframe's ability and equip him to Machina Fortress, that means if you try and destroy Fortress, Gearframe will be destroyed instead. That ends my turn." Mindy smiled as Gearframe moved charging forms, and attaching itself to Fortress.

"Okay my turn Mins! I draw!" Jasmine excitedly drew feeling fired up from the duel right now. "Alright, here I come. are you ready!?"

The Legendary Fisherman: (ATK: 1850 + 500 = 2350/DEF: 1600 - 400 = 1200)

Penguin Torpedo: (Attack Position)
"Penguin Torpedo attack her directly!" Like before Torpedo charged down in the water before shooting from it in front of Mindy attacking her.
Mindy braced herself as the penguin hit her again.
(Mindy: 1900/Hand: 1)
"And like before Penguin Torpedo destroys itself when it attacks." Torpedo glowed before exploding destroyed as Jasmine grinned over. "Alright next up, I use Forgotten Temple's effect to banish Electric Jellyfish." The jellyfish vanished from the field. "Okay that ends my turn for now." Electric Jellyfish appeared again only in Defense.

"Whoa 4600 attack points?" Jaden asked shocked.
"It's her strongest monster." Alexis explained.
"Now, I'll unequip Gearframe from Fortress and summon him. Ok, battle Machina Fortress attack Electric Jellyfish!" Mindy called.
"Hang on!" Before Gearframe unequipped from Fortress, Jasmine had an effect. "Electric Jellyfish has an effect! When you use a spell or monster effect, Electric Jellyfish negates the effect, and it gains 600 points afterward!" Electric Jellyfish summoned lots of it's kind as they stuck themselves on Gearframe zapping all together short out the effect.
"Wait, can't she use the effect again?" Syrus asked.
"Again?" Gloria asked him.
"It was negated... but can't she try and use Gearframe's ability a second time?" he asked her.
"No she can't. Gearframe's effect is only once per turn to equip itself or unequip itself." Alexis explained over towards Syrus. "It's a soft once per turn however so if two Gearframes were equipped on it then she can use it again but since it's only one, she can only use the effect one time."
"Oh." Syrus nodded hearing that as he turned to see Mindy frowning.
"Machina Fortress attack Electric Jellyfish!" she called.
Fortress charged in attacking Electric Jellyfish that destroyed it while Jasmine watches over.
"Now thanks to your trap card being treated as Umi I can't attack Legendary Fisherman, but his effect doesn't stop me from attack you directly with Ruinforce!" Mindy called.
Ruinforce moved to attack which Jasmine grinned over. "Maybe but I'm not out yet!" She shows a card from her hand. "Such as this guy! Kuriboh!" A small brown fiend rose up defending her from the attack.
Ruinforce charged an effect over forcing Kuriboh to vanish while electricity danced over both girl's forms causing them to wince.
(Jasmine: 1225/Hand: 0)
(Mindy: 0950/Hand: 1)
"With Kuriboh negated Ruinforce's attack continues!" Mindy called.
Ruinforce charged over as Jasmine looks up in time for Ruinforce to blast her hard.
Jasmine: 0000
Hand: 0
Field: Umiiruka (Field Zone), The Legendary Fisherman (Attack Position/ATK: 2350/DEF: 1200), Forgotten Temple of the Deep (face-up/Name: Umi)

Hand: 1
Field: Machina Ruinforce (Attack Position), Machina Fortress (Attack Position/Equipped with Machina Gearframe), Machina Gearframe (Equipped to Machina Fortress), Machina Armored Unit (face-up), Machine Defense Perimeter (face-up)
Mindy wins!
"Rats." Jasmine snapped her fingers from this at losing before shrugging. "Ah well, I did use all I got."
"I got lucky drawing Redeployment, and that you didn't bring out Daedalus." Mindy admitted with a smile helping Jasmine up as they turned to the Professor.
The Professor walked over to them crossing his arms. "Well you two are something. Although Jasmine you would've saved Penguin Torpedo a second time with Forgotten Temple which would let you last in the duel."
"I know, I decided not to do it again. Odds are she might have something against Forgotten Temple before it can bring back Penguin Torpedo." Jasmine admitted over with a shrug.
"Very well then." the Professor nodded checking over them. "Then for the placement of dorms for you both... you both will be going to Ra together."
"Both of us in Ra?" Mindy asked in surprise. "Well, I guess that makes sense... we're not as good as Alexis and there are some cute boys there."
"You were almost in Obelisk Mindy. You were 50 points short." the Professor stated before turning around to walk back.
She blinked and sighed but nodded hearing that as they walked back to the others.
"Both of you in Ra together. Well I sorta had my suspicions." Alexis admitted to them with a soft smile. "But try not to gossip all night, I won't be there to wake you two."
"We'll do our best." Jasmine smiled.
"And next... Dennis McField, and Bastion Misawa is next." the Professor announced over who is next.
"Alright my turn." Dennis smiled readying over.
"It seems we're up." Bastion noted calmly. "This should be an interesting match."
Dennis, and Bastion walked over to the field as Dennis grinned over turning. "Okay call it in the air." He reveals a coin readying it before flipping it.
"Hm... I'll call Tails." Bastion answered.
Dennis landed the coin as he views it. "Alright you call it right." He looks up to Bastion from this. "Which means you decide who goes first."
"Before that, which of my decks will I be using?" Bastion inquired revealing six deck boxes and all of them were different colors.
"Whoa that's a lot of Decks." Syrus said surprised from it. "Does he even need that much?"
"It means he has options for any situation." Sora admitted. "If he can use them all that means he can adapt really well right?"
Dennis checks over them before then pointing over. "I'll take... that one!"
"Interesting choice, my Fire Deck." Bastion nodded placing it in his Duel Disk. "In that case I'll go first."
Dennis nodded as they readied. "DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Find Your Flame)

"That ends my turn and during my End Phase Solar Flare Dragon deals 500 points of damage."
Solar Flare Dragon charged a small fireball firing over at Dennis who dodged with an acrobatic jump. (Dennis: 3500/Hand: 5)
"Impressive jump." Bastion smiled ending his turn.
Bastion's Hand: 2/Field: Solar Flare Dragon (Attack Position), Two Set Cards
Dennis 1st Turn:
"Same as that move. It's my turn now, I draw!" Dennis drew checking over. "And now to start, I summon this guy! Performage Trick Clown!" At that raising was a yellow clown with a big smile chuckling.

"Your monster is rather impressive Dennis." Bastion noted calmly.
"Well since there are now two monsters in play, I can summon Performage Hat Tricker from my hand!" Appearing was a purple clown like figure that seems to only be magician clothing with big yellow glasses as 'eyes'.

When the 3rd Performage Counter is placed on this card, its ATK/DEF become 3300.
"Only 1100 points?" Bastion inquired seeing that.
"You will see why. For now though, time to battle! Trick Clown show Solar Flare Dragon how you dance with fire!"
Trick Clown chuckled over readying over as it danced around readying over before swinging it's staff at Solar Flare Dragon.
"I activate the trap Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai!" Bastion countered.
Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai
Normal Trap Card
Tribute 1 FIRE monster; inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK.
"I tribute Solar Flare Dragon in order to inflict his original attack points as damage!"
Solar Flare Dragon vanished as fire charged in to Dennis. But Hat Tricker intercepted readying it's cape like a bullfighter before the fire collided with it exploding it a show of confetti as it laughed.
Performage Hat Tricker: (Performage Counter: 1/3)
The confetti showered on Dennis who grinned over not taking damage.
"What?" Bastion questioned seeing that.
"Hat Tricker has a rather festive effect. Every time an effect that deals me damage goes off, Hat Tricker turns it off in a variety of fireworks! But that's not all, it also gains a Performage Counter. It can only gain a maximum of 3 however." Dennis explained with a showman bow.
Bastion's eyes widened in shock. "An Anti-Burn card?"
"And now that Solar Flare Dragon is gone there is nothing preventing a direct attack!" Trick Clown turned to Bastion laughing over.
"Nothing except my Firewall trap card!" Bastion called.
(face-up)
Firewall
Continuous Trap Card
When your opponent declares a direct attack: You can banish 1 Pyro monster in your GY; negate the attack. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase, pay 500 LP or destroy this card.
"This negates a direct attack by banishing a Pyro monster in my graveyard."
He took Solar Flare Dragon and pocketed it as a wall of flames blocked Trick Clown.
Dennis nodded. "Okay fair enough. But you don't have another to block Trick Clown!" Trick Clown laughed over charging ahead as it's gloves enlarged over by blowing air into them, and cupped them slamming them down on Bastion.
Bastion winced from the blow.
(Bastion: 2900/Hand: 2)
"Way to take the crowd by surprise." Dennis smiled over setting a card. "Do you have anymore tricks?"

"With that done, I'll summon UFO Turtle."

DEF: 1200
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 FIRE monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck, in Attack Position.
"Now attack Performage Hat Tricker!"
The turtle charges in ahead tackling Hat Tricker destroying it while Dennis raised an arm. (Dennis: 3200/Hand: 3) "In that case, I use Trick Box!" At that two boxes appeared one on Bastion's field that is around UFO Turtle, and the other on Dennis' field.
Trick Box
Normal Trap Card
If a face-up "Performage" monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; take control of it until the End Phase, then Special Summon 1 "Performage" monster from your Graveyard to your opponent's field. During the End Phase of this turn, give control of the monster Special Summoned by this effect to its owner.
"What in the world?" Bastion cried seeing that.
"Wait, that's like Yugi Muto's Mystic Box spell!" Jaden cried with wide eyes.
"And almost like that! As a Performage was just destroyed, that UFO Turtle now comes to me." The Box on Dennis' field opened showing UFO Turtle on Dennis' field. Dennis then winked. "But don't worry I give you something in exchange. It's in the box on your field." He pointed to the box as Bastion turned seeing it opening.
He looked only for his eyes to widen seeing Hat Tricker. "What, it brings the monster I destroyed back to my side of the field?"
Performage Hat Tricker: (Defense Position)
"Technically no, it summons any Performage from my graveyard, and since you just destroyed Hat Tricker it was my only choice." Dennis explained over with a soft grin. "Quite a cool trick isn't it?"
"It is, so I'll have to end my turn." Bastion mentioned only to blink seeing the boxes appear again. "What?"
"During the End Phase, the monster that was summoned returns to my field." Dennis explained with a smile.
Bastion's eyes widened seeing the box on Dennis's side of the field open to reveal Hat Tricker while UFO Turtle went back to him.
Bastion's Hand: 2/Field: UFO Turtle (Attack Position), Firewall (face-up)
Dennis 2nd Turn:
"Okay my turn now. Draw!" Dennis drew checking to see the card which he grinned. "Well Bastion I happen to pull it the showstopper!"
"Showstopper?" Bastion questioned hearing that.
"This card! Polymerization!" Dennis activated the spell.
Polymerization

Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as material.
"And with it I fuse Trick Clown with Damage Juggler!" Trick Clown with a big red lipped clown in a magician hat rose up grinning as they fused together.
Bastion's eyes widened hearing that.
"Acrobat that freely manipulates even the pain! Merge with the tricky acrobat that can fool even deities, and become a new witch that spurs the sky! Fusion Summon! Appear, Level 7! Performage Trapeze Witch!"
At that appearing was apurple magician woman with a grin having a mask on while in her hand is a trapeze handle.

When an attack is declared involving your "Performage" monster and an opponent's monster: You can make that opponent's monster lose 600 ATK.
"2400 points?" Bastion asked in shock.
"And now the effect of Trick Clown activates. As it was sent to the graveyard, I revive a Performage from the graveyard only it doesn't have it's points, and I lose 1000 points." Trick Clown rose up with a grin.
Performage Trick Clown: (Attack Position/ATK: 1600 - 1600 = 0/DEF: 1200 - 1200 = 0)
Hat Tricker then generated some energy absorbing the backlash that Dennis would take onto it.
Performage Hat Tricker: (Performage Counter: 1/3)
"Wait, but if it has no points it won't be able to help you." Bastion pointed out seeing that.
The Professor meanwhile was looking at Dennis's dueling thoughtfully.
"We shall see. Trick Clown attack!" Trick Clown laughed over charging ahead on UFO Turtle who looked surprised that it's heading in without hesitating.
"My UFO Turtle's attack points are 1400, why would you attack?" Bastion questioned only for his eyes to widen. "Wait, your Fusion Monster must have an ability!"
"Yes whenever a Performage battles, your monster loses 600 points!" Trapeze Witch laughed swinging on her trapeze landing both feet on UFO Turtle to weaken it.
UFO Turtle was struck by Trapeze Witch: (ATK: 1400 = 600 = 800)
Trick Clown attacked but UFO Turtle retaliated biting down destroying it. (Dennis: 2700/Hand: 2) Dennis doesn't look bothered ahead. "Alright Trapeze Witch attack!" Trapeze Witch laughed it turned kicking UFO Turtle again forcing it to weaken more.
UFO Turtle groaned from the kick: (ATK: 800 - 600 = 200)
Then Trapeze Witch turned around bringing a knee intending to destroy it. This time the attack destroyed UFO Turtle.
(Bastion: 0200/Hand: 2)
"UFO Turtle has a special ability, when it's destroyed I can summon a FIRE monster with 1500 or less attack points from my deck, and I choose my second Solar Flare Dragon." Bastion stated as a second flaming dragon rose up.
Solar Flare Dragon: (Defense Position)
"Well if I have to say, this Dennis sure is something else isn't he?" Banner felt especially proud to have a duelist like him in his dorm showing himself off, and couldn't help but spoke how proud.
"Indeed, he's definitely skilled." Barrett agreed. "Above Slifer level for certain."
"Indeed, if he advances to Ra I be honored to watch for him." Sartyr agreed with a soft smile as they watched.
Dr. Crowler himself looked annoyed that Dennis, a Slifer, is treating this as some sort of game. Slacker he is, always thinking it's all fun and games, not understanding the real world. He will prove that they don't have what it takes soon with what he's got in mind.
"Anything else Dennis?" Bastion asked him.
"Yes Hat Tricker's attack!" Hat Tricker charges in at Solar Flare Dragon.
Solar Flare Dragon was struck and shattered leaving Bastion with just Firewall on his field and two cards in his hand.
"Alright that's all from me. Your up." Dennis twirled bowing on one knee.
Dennis' Hand: 2/Field: Performage Trapeze Witch (Attack Position), Performage Hat Tricker (Attack Position/Performage Counter: 1)
Dennis: 2700
Hand: 2
Field: Performage Trapeze Witch (Attack Position), Performage Hat Tricker (Attack Position/Performage Counter: 1)
Bastion: 0200

Bastion 3rd Turn:
Bastion drew his card and frowned. "I don't have enough life points so Firewall is destroyed."
His trap shattered leaving him with only the three cards in his hand to work with as he looked at them with a frown. Dennis waited with a smile.
"I can't defeat you, but I can deal a bit more damage in this duel, I activate my own Polymerization card and fuse a second UFO Turtle with Raging Flame Sprite in order to Fusion Summon Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird in attack position!" Bastion called as two monsters formed into a bird like monster roaring loud.

"Now, attack Hat Tricker!"
Blaze Fenix cawed loud charging it while Trapeze Witch giggled madly charging in, and kicking it like how she weakened UFO Turtle earlier.
"What?" Bastion cried in shock seeing that.
Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird: (ATK: 2800 - 600 = 2200)
"I said before, when a Performage battles Trapeze Witch has the monster fighting it lose 600 points." Dennis reminded with a grin as Blaze Fenix shrugged off the attack tackling Hat Tricker destroying it forcing Dennis to step back. (Dennis: 1600/Hand: 2)
Bastion sighed but nodded closing his eyes. "I end my turn."
Bastion's Hand: 0/Field: Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird (Attack Position/ATK: 2200)
Dennis 3rd Turn:
"Okay my go!" Dennis drew. "And now Trapeze Witch give them a grand finale!" Trapeze Witch laughed jumping off, and first hitting Blaze Fenix with her kick.
Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird: (ATK: 2200 - 600 = 1600)
Then she grabbed another trapeze swinging over before letting go acrobatically spinning before landing down two elbows. "Double-Desk Blow!" She exclaimed before jumping up posing as Blaze Fenix detonated behind her.
Dennis' Hand: 2/Field: Performage Trapeze Witch (Attack Position), Performage Hat Tricker (Attack Position/Performage Counter: 1)

Dennis wins!
"Very impressive." Miss Fontaine mentioned as Dennis and Bastion turned to the Professor.
"That was well done on both your parts." the Professor stated over towards them. "Bastion Misawa, your calculative with your Deck's strategy, and while you certainly showed your talent as before in the Entrance Exams you seen to not have a backup counter against those who are ready for your strategy either intentional or not. Which is why you are staying in Ra Yellow as I feel your still as talented as you proved you were before."
"I understand." Bastion nodded. "I'll work on that right away."
"And you Dennis." the Professor turned over to him. "Your talent, and able to make damage to your advantage while weakening your opponent like that was real impressive... but it is why I am sad to say that your not gonna advance."
"Huh?" Dennis blinked. "I'm sorry? Did I do something wrong?"
"No. Just have something that might interest you." the Professor stated over to him. "We will talk more about the details alone, head to my office after the Promotion Exams."
Dennis blinked but nodded. "Right."
With that said he and Bastion went back to the others.
"Hm... my Fire Deck is weak to anti-burn cards, and I'm certain my other decks possess similar weaknesses... I'll have to address each of them and recheck my formulas." Bastion noted thoughtfully.
They both went back to there friends over where Jaden grinned over to the red-haired boy, "Tight Duel, Dennis!"
"Thank you." Dennis gave a small bow.
"I wonder how we will do if we duel each other." Jaden grinned over.
"Maybe we'll find out one day." Dennis chuckled.
"Grace, and Gloria Tyler please report to the field." the Professor spoke over the intercom.
The two of them blinked before smiling heading down together.
"Well this will be interesting, those two know each other well." Alexis admitted over seeing this before turning to the indigo haired girl. "What you think Celina, who do you think has the advantage more?"
"I have no idea... how can one of them have the advantage when not only do they play the same deck but they specialize in working as a team? They know every single move the other one can make." Celina answered.
"How long has it been since we dueled sis?" Grace asked her sister as they shuffled each other's decks.
"A long time... a very long time." Gloria replied smiling.
"Well I won't hold back." Grace grinned over to her.
"I would be disappointed if you did." Gloria smirked. "You want the first turn?"
"Sure." Grace nodded as they take there Decks back turning over, and readied themselves on the field.
"DUEL!"

"So they use the Deck of Amazoness?" Syrus asked confused.
"Amazoness are a tribesman of female fighters from some parts of Africa." Chumley admitted over towards Syrus. "There all female you can't expect a guy in any tribe."
"Sounds cool." Jaden smiled.
"Ok, now I'll equip my Sage with the Amazoness Heirloom." Gloria grinned.

"Then my Heirloom's other effect destroys your Amazoness Fighter, and my Amazoness Sage survived so her effect destroys your left set card."
Both of Grace's cards were destroyed but her sister doesn't look bothered only grinning.

"Amazoness Heirloom's effect protects Amazoness Sage!" Gloria reminded her as the monster survived again.
(Gloria: 3800/Hand: 3)
"Unfortunately since Sage didn't attack I can't use her effect or Heriloom's effect."

"When she's summoned I can add Polymerization to my hand, but before that I think I'll banish Amazoness Secret Arts from my graveyard."
"Huh, but why would she banish a spell from her graveyard?" Syrus asked not understanding the move though Grace looked a bit nervous hearing that.
"That can only mean one thing or me, and it's not a good thing." Grace admitted.
"You remember this card, I can use Amazoness Empress in my Extra Deck as Fusion Material, so by using Polymerization I'll fuse her with Amazoness Swords Woman."

He knows that the cards he gave Chazz are some of the strongest cards in the game, and had been used by Seto Kaiba himself so how did they lost against this Slifer Slacker!? "Impossible! Not after I given Chazz all the rare cards, this should've been a duel for him to win!"
"You gave him rare cards?" the Professor inquired turning to Dr. Crowler at that before closing his eyes in thought. "Jaden Yuki, I believe you're fit to join the ranks of Obelisk Blue."
"Aye!" Having forgotten the Professor, and Barrett was in the room Dr. Crowler turned over paling especially to hearing someone like Jaden now going to Obelisk.
"We'll speak later Dr. Crowler." the Professor told him before turning to the students. "I'll be keeping today's duels in mind."
"Obelisk huh?" Jaden asked recalling the rank while everyone else walked to him.
"That was amazing." Syrus smiled.
Jaden grinned over before looking over to his friends from Ra Yellow.
"Congratulations Jaden." Bastion smiled.
"Thank ya Bastion. Though I think, I will stick around at the Ra Dorm." Jaden admitted with a shrug.
"Can you explain why?" the Professor inquired hearing that.
"Well it be nicer then the Ra Dorm but I be leaving behind my friends, and well my homestyle won't be complete if I have some good pals to hang with."
The Professor closed his eyes before nodding. "Very well then, if that's your choice then you'll remain in Ra Yellow."
