Okay let's see what questions are here today.
Question 1 from Ulrich362:
Dan after dueling Yusei here which protagonist of the seven would you want to duel next?
Dan: Yuma Tsukumo. He's such a fun guy to be around with!
Question 2 from Royal2:
Dear dan do you think that Celina will get overprotective of you?
Dan: I think so. Celina is protective about me.
Question 3 from Unknowedz:
Dan, did you already know the existence of Shooting quasar dragon since it was never shown in 5Ds dub?
Dan: No, I don't... Why did they never show it? It would've been so awesome.
We're back on Dan's match against Yusei. He's in a big pickle, and knowing Ulrich he's say that's putting it lightly. Dan is against three powerful Synchro Monsters with multiple attacks, and can stop Special Summoning twice along with Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. Can Dan manage to beat this or will Yusei achieve victory? Let's see.
Summary: Dan's match with Yusei had taken a hard turn as Yusei summons powerful monsters to battle Dan, and had dominated the field with his new monster, "Satellite Warrior". But Dan refuses to go down without a fight determined to get pass Yusei, and continue on to battle Roget for him to take responsibility for his actions. Just when Dan began to lose hope, Ray steps in.

Previously on Ascension of the Dragons:
"Whoa nelly! Yusei didn't waste any time, and called forth his ultimate monster! The Shooting Quasar Dragon!" Melissa Trail declared from seeing Shooting Quasar before it shifted to Dragocytos, "And Dan had summoned a mega monster of his own ready to combat the Shooting Quasar Dragon!"
The scene shifts to Yusei activating Necroid Synchro as he told Dan, "With this card by banishing monsters from the graveyard that includes a Tuner, and at least two non-Tuners, I can summon a Stardust Synchro Monster treating it as a Synchro Summon!"
"Wha!? A Synchro Summon from the graveyard!?" Dan asked in shock as Stardust Warrior appeared.
The scene cuts to Dragocytos attacking, and destroying Shooting Quasar Dragon as Shooting Star Dragon burst out roaring as Yusei explained, "When Shooting Quasar Dragon leaves the field, I can automatically summon Shooting Star Dragon to take his place!"
"Synchro Summon! Appear, Satellite Warrior!"
It shifts to Satellite Warrior appeared readying to battle as Yusei explained, "When it's Synchro Summoned, any number of your cards equal to the amount of Synchro Monsters in my graveyard are destroyed!"
Satellite Warrior fired a blast that destroyed Dan's field at that as Dan reached for an Action Card while Shooting Star charged at him.
(Cue Theme: Hyper Drive)
Going fast makes me feel alive.
My heart beats in hyper drive.
Do you think you can win?
Only if I lose.
Just let destiny choose.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.
It's a blur... as I go by.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
See the sun arising.
Fire in the sky.
Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.

"What?" Yusei asked surprised as Shooting Star Dragon stopped it's attack.
Dan explained, "Remember Yusei? When a Dragon is destroyed by battle or sent to the graveyard by a card effect, I can summon Keeper from the graveyard or hand to defend me!"
"Well I activate Stardust Warrior's ability to negate the summon!" Yusei countered as Warrior vanished taking Keeper of the Shrine with it, "And due to Stardust Wish, Stardust Warrior rises again!"
Stardust Warrior appeared again before the three were trapped in chains.
"What now?" Yusei asked surprised.
"It's this!"
He looked to see Dan used an Action Card with a grin.
Battle Lock
Action Spell Card
Your opponent's monsters cannot declare an attack this turn.
"Battle Lock keeps your monsters from attacking this turn!" Dan smiled, "This turn to survive was a tricky, and a gamble. I had activated Keeper's ability, and waited at the right moment to summon it to catch you off-guard, and then while your distracted by it, I was able to grab an Action Card, and use it!"
Yusei couldn't help but grin hearing this far more impressed by Dan's skills, and smarts. It's like he's dueling himself. With that Yusei admitted, "Well not bad Dan. Your more smart then I'd imagine. Well if that's the case I'll lay this face-down."
A set card appeared with Synchro Chase, Stardust Wish, and Scrap-Iron Scarecrow with a zone to grabbed an Action Card.
"And Dan barely escaped that one! But with three powerful Synchro Monsters on his tail can he managed to make a comeback!?" Melissa Trail called seeing this as they watched.
"Dan managed to get away by the skin of his teeth." Yuya grunted, "Come on Dan."
"Dan we believe in you!" Celina cried.
Dan 3rd Turn:
'The only card in my hand is Red-Eyes Fusion... If I don't get what I need then this could be the end... This draw maybe my last.' Dan thought now starting to lose hope reaching for his top card.
"Aw Dan what you thinking?"
Surprised he looked to see Ray giving him a sly grin, "Ray?"
"You wanted to duel the best, and now you got it so why acting like that?" Ray asked him with a smile which made him blink, "Your having a fun time against him are ya?"
"Y-Yeah." Dan nodded to her.
"So what is the reason for acting like that? Your having fun, and that's why your dueling him. Winning or losing that doesn't matter at the slightest." Ray smiled to him, "You wanted to battle with all your strength, and that's what will keep you going! Now show Yusei what you got!"
Motivated by Ray's words Dan grinned before nodding, "Okay you got it! My turn draw!"
Dan drew as he looked to see before calling, "First I use Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards!"
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell Card
Draw 2 Cards.
Dan drew looking before riding to an Action Card which Yusei noticed before riding to an Action Card grabbing it, 'No Action... When he uses an Action Card, I'll use this.'
"Okay Yusei get ready." Dan grinned as Yusei blinked, "I send this Action Card to the graveyard to activate Special Hurricane!"

Normal Spell Card

"He has a card like Special Hurricane?" Crow asked in shock.

Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the end of this turn, that target gains 400 ATK, but its effects are negated.

Shooting Star Dragon: (ATK: 3300 + 400 = 3700)
The hurricane struck the three warriors destroying them in a big explosion.
"And Dan... Took all three out in one go!" Melissa Trail called seeing this.
"Alright nice one Dan!" Riley smiled seeing this.
Yusei grinned, "Well Dan I'm impressed. But that triggers something you should know."
"Huh?" Dan asked curious.
"First when Satellite Warrior is destroyed when Synchro Summoned, I can summon three Synchron, Stardust, or Warrior Synchro Monsters from the graveyard!" Yusei called, "So I'll bring back Nitro Warrior, Junk Warrior, and Formula Synchron!"
The three mentioned monsters appeared ready.

"Whoa your more amazing then I thought Yusei!" Dan smiled as Yusei grinned.
"Well this here is bound to happen right? During your turn Formula Synchron tunes level 6 Charge Warrior!" Yusei called as the two flew up.

"When Black Skull Dragon battles you cannot use effects against him!" Dan answered with a grin as the attack connected to Yusei's new monster destroying it, and finally dealing damage. (Yusei: 3100)
"And Dan is fighting back at long last!" Melissa Trail called seeing this.
"And at the end of the battle Black Skull Dragon's ability deals you damage equal to Red-Eyes's attack points by shuffling him back to the Deck!" Dan called shuffling the card as Black Skull Dragon fired another blast which hit Yusei as he grunted. (Yusei: 0700) "Alright that'll end this turn."
"Well before that, I use Expansion's ability! By sacrificing two Synchro Monsters from my field, I can summon it back!" Yusei revealed as Junk Warrior, and Nitro Warrior vanished as Expansion popped out roaring.
"And Yusei is fighting back as well! Dan finally managed to deal Yusei damage, and plow through his assault with a new monster!" Melissa Trail called as Black Skull Dragon roared as Expansion roared as well, "What can Yusei do here!?"

Dan wins the duel!
Meanwhile...
Roget let out a nasty smirk, "I didn't think this brat can be able to defeat Yusei. Well including Yusei wasn't a problem after all, and now we just need to get the rest of the Lancers out of the way. You, and Sergey should prepare yourselves for up ahead."
"Yes. And I'll make sure those two will regret picking up a Duel Disk by the time I'm done with them." Sayer smirked as he walked out to find Sergey.
A few minutes later...
Dan was given a water from Riley drinking it as Dan sighed, "Man that was one tough battle of mine."
"Yeah your pretty strong. If that Shrine wasn't in your graveyard you would not be able to win." Quattro said with a grin.
Dan rubbed his head sheepish as they laughed together before Melissa Trail announced, "And with that last move Dan had triumph over Yusei, and now it seals him as the forth competitor to advance to the Friendship Cup's Round 4!"
Dan's picture appeared with Sayer, Yuya, and Sergey for the next round.
"But first there is the Team Matches, and you all know what that means! All of you better get ready!" Melissa Trail smiled as they watched seeing this.
"Hey Dan!"
Hearing that they looked to see Team Ragnarok approaching with Broder grinning.
"It's pretty impressive you defeated Yusei." Halldor said to him, "We came to wish you luck cause your up against us next."
"Well... Do you all run Decks involving what that Synchro Monster Broder used?" Yuya asked them.
The black, and brown haired man answered, "Yes we do. The Nordic Gods."
With that they shows 1 Synchro Monster each.
Halldor has Odin, Father of the Aesir.
Broder has Loki, Lord of the Aesir.
And the man has Thor, Lord of the Aesir.
"The Nordic Gods themselves." Dan said seeing this, "Their some of the most powerful Synchro Monsters known."
Odin glowed as Halldor blinked, and said to Dan, "The Nordic Gods are deeming you worthy of battling them. Make sure to follow their expectations."
Dan blinked in shock before nodding as Team Ragnarok walked off, "...Guys we are in for a really tough battle. The Nordic Gods are expecting us to battle them with all we got."
"If that's the case then I'll be in the team in this Team Match." Declan decided on that, "Dan who will be in this other match?"
Dan gave thought before asking, "Moon Shadow?"
"I will give this match everything, I can muster." Moon Shadow said bowing the ninja way as Dan smiled.
Later...
"And now we are here for our Team Matches! And our first match will be the Team from Sweeden, Team Ragnarok!" Melissa Trail declared as the crowd cheered, "And then a Team that is unknown, Team Lancers!"
They watch on as Moon Shadow readied a blue Turbo Dueling Uniform with LID on it with the baton wearing a helmet as Dan said to Moon Shadow, "Be careful, Moon Shadow. The Nordic Gods are really powerful, and difficult to defeat."
"I know you told us." Moon Shadow nodded to that before riding beside the first wheeler which was the man named, Dragan.
"The Gods hold a lot of expectations for you, and your team. So don't hold back." Dragan told Moon Shadow as their decks were shuffled as Moon Shadow nodded.
"Alright Duelists let's start the team match with Action Speed World!" Melissa Trail called as the Team Field Spell appeared.

"It's my turn! I draw!" Dragan called drawing, "And I switch Tanngnjostr in attack mode!"
The ram stood up at that.
"And when Tanngnjostr switch battle modes, I can summon Gulfaxed of the Nordic Beasts from my Deck!" Dragan added as a black horse with a yellow mane appeared neighing.

If your opponent controls a Synchro Monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
"There it is. Dragan's Tuner for Thor." Dan grunted seeing this.
"And now level 4 Guldfaxe tunes level 3 Tanngnjostr, and level 3 Nordic Beast Token!" Dragan called as the three flew synchronizing while a rune in his eye glowed.
(LV: 4 + 3 + 3 = 10)
"When the door to the world opens, the ancient war god will raise up his Magical Hammer! Shake the earth and appear with the roaring thunder! Synchro Summon! Descend, Thor, Lord of the Aesir!"
At that what was lowered was a huge warrior wielding a hammer, and having on armor.

If Summoned this way: Inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
"So that's... Dragan's Nordic God." Yuto said grunting.
"I am sensing incredible power coming from that monster." Ray admitted to Dan, "Has anyone actually been able to conquer this behemoth?"
'Team 5D's did before.' Dan answered to her, 'Well Jack only took him down one time, Crow defeated it twice, and Yusei twice in their match against Team Ragnarok in the WRGP. I hope Moon Shadow can deal with him.'
'3500 attack points... If I'm careful it could wipe me out easily.' Moon Shadow thought to himself looking up at the Nordic God.
"I activate the face-down, Solemn Authority!" Dragan called.
Solemn Authority
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card by targeting 1 "Aesir" monster you control; it cannot be targeted by other card effects while this card is on the field. Send this card to the GY during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation.
"As long as this card is on the field, Thor cannot be targeted by any card effects! But I have to send this card to the graveyard during my second Standby Phase." Dragan told Moon Shadow who grunted, "And now Thor attack Blade Armor Ninja!"
Thor raised his hammer as Moon Shadow called, "I activate the trap, Armor Ninjitsu Art of Freezing!"
Armor Ninjitsu Art of Freezing

While this card is face-up on the field and you control a "Ninja" monster, monsters your opponent controls cannot change their battle positions.
"When you attack while I have a Ninja, I can negate that attack!" Moon Shadow called as the attack struck a barrier, "The battle is then over, and as long as I have a Ninja your monsters can't change battle mode!"
"Not bad. I end my turn." Dragan ended as they turned over a curve looking on.
Moon Shadow 2nd Turn:

Monster Effect: You can Tribute this card, then target 1 "Ninja" monster you control; it gains 800 ATK until the end of this turn.
"And now by sacrificing this card, I can give Blade Armor Ninja 800 attack points!" Moon Shadow called as Blade Armor Ninja glowed before jumping up exprtly finding an Action Card, and hopped back on his Duel Runner. (ATK: 2200 + 800 = 3000) "And now I activate High Dive!"
High Dive
Action Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; that target gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn.
"So now Blade Armor Ninja gains 1000 points!" Moon Shadow called as Armor Ninja glowed. (ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000) "And by using an Overlay Unit, Blade Armor Ninja can attack twice this turn!"
Armor Ninja took another Overlay Unit. (ORU: 1 - 0)
"Double Attacker with 4000 points. The first round goes to us!" Yuya grinned as Dan looked focused on something.
"The first attack! Blade Armor Ninja attacks Thor!" Moon Shadow called as Armor Nina charged slashing Thor as it shattered while Dragan grunted. (Dragan: 3500) "And now Armor Ninja attacks directly!"
Armor Ninja charged before Dragan called, "I activate the trap, Nordic Relic Laevateinn!"
Nordic Relic Laevateinn
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field that destroyed a monster by battle this turn; destroy it. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this card's activation.
"It destroys any monster that destroyed a monster in battle this turn!" Dragan grinned shocking them, "But wanna know what the best part is? You can't activate cards against this effects!"
"Then Blade Armor Ninja is..." Moon Shadow trailed off in shock.
"Yep! Going boom!" Dragan called as Blade Armor Ninja shattered before it can reach him, "Then I activate the trap Gleipnir, the Fetters of Fenrir!"
Gleipnir, the Fetters of Fenrir
Normal Trap Card
Add 1 "Nordic" monster from your Deck to your hand.
"It permits me to take a Nordic monster from my deck, and place it to my hand." Dragan said adding a card.
"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Moon Shadow ended before an earthquake started to happen, "What the-?"
"I'm sorry? Didn't I mention Thor's special ability?" Dragan grinned as the ocean split showing Thor raising up eyes glowing, "During the end of a turn it's destroyed by your cards it revives by banishing a Nordic Beast Tuner from my graveyard. And if that's so then you got bad luck cause your taking 800 points of damage!"
Thor's helmet fired lightning at Moon Shadow as he cried out. (Moon Shadow: 3200)
"That's what makes the Nordic Gods so unique, and so powerful." Dan grunted seeing this, "They have the ability to revive themselves each time their destroyed."
"At least it's the price of banishing a Tuner. And last I check that was Dragan's only one." Yuya told him.
"Which means if Moon Shadow destroys it again, it will stay in the graveyard." Celina said at this.

Magic Planter
Normal Spell Card
Send 1 face-up Continuous Trap you control to the GY; draw 2 cards.
"By sending Solemn Authority to the graveyard, I can draw 2 cards!" Dragan called drawing twice as Authority shattered.
"Authority does nothing anymore since it's target left the field." Declan said seeing that, "And it would destroy itself so it wouldn't stay for long anyway."
"Now I summon Ljosalf of the Nordic Alfar!" Dragan called as a cloud like being appeared.

"Nordic Alfar?" Dan asked in shock.
"When this card is summoned, I can summon a Nordic monster from my hand who's level is equal or lower then Thor! So I'll summon level 4, Vanadis of the Nordic Ascendant!" Dragan called as an angel appeared ready.

Once per turn: You can send 1 "Nordic" monster from your Deck to the GY; this card's Level becomes the Level of that monster, until the end of this turn.
"And Nordic Ascendant?" Dan asked in shock.
"Why is that so shocking? Dragan's cards are a bit of the short side aren't they?" Celina asked him which made Dan blink before looking sheepish.
"And now level 4 Vanadis tunes level 4 Ljosalf!" Dragan called as the two flew up.
(LV: 4 + 4 = 8)
"When the door of Valhalla opens, there beath a Knight that guides the Souls of the Underworld to Helheim! Synchro Summon! Descend, Level 8, Avenging Knight Parshath!" Dragan called as a centaur riding white knight appeared ready.

"And Dragan has another Synchro Monster that is just as powerful, and difficult to take out!" Melissa Trail called in shock.
Moon Shadow grunted as he looked up at the two monsters feeling cornered.
Cliffhanger. Team Ragnarok is so different then what they originally are it seems here. Moon Shadow is in a tight spot here in the tournament, and now he is against Thor himself. Can he managed to beat Thor, and Dragan? Be sure to ask Dan questions, and be sure to review!
