Okay here are the questions.
Question 1 from Ulrich362:
What kind of relationship do you have with Cassandra Sakaki, and Casey Turner? As for the other one are you familiar with/would you ever consider dueling against Gekko Tenma or Eve?
Dan: Cassie's a sweet girl, and her relationship with Riley is beautiful. Also dreams to have a baby, that's nothing new to girls but I can see why cause it is magical. I mean I don't know if I can be ready for a baby of my own but I know that I can be guided to that point. And onto Casey he's a kind boy with abilities to heal, that's something we don't see much here, and his abilities with Psychic Powers is like Psychic Duelists. His relation with Riley is good, and I wonder how me, him, and her would do in a match with all three of us is. As for Gekko, and Eve... I don't read magna but I do heard their names so far, so I need to know who they are if I should consider facing them.
Question 2 from Shadow0907:
1: What's your stand on Wyrm-Type monsters like the "True King" cards, considering their similarities to Dragons?
2: Have you watched Yu-Gi-Oh: Dark Side of Dimensions? If so, what are your thoughts on that particular film?
Dan: Nothing. Wyrms are often powerful cards since I used them myself against Armstrong with Mare Mare, Yazi, Mist Wyrm, and other stuff. Though I do confuse them as dragons sometimes. And as for DSOD, actually yes I do since I had been lucky to see it thanks to Bopdog's other OCs that seems to advance forward ya know? And my thoughts is that I wished the dub would keep the cards as we seen them like that instead of things like what we see with the effects, and names taken out leaving only attributes, levels, card types, and even the points. Same thing happened in Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie where Anubis shows up, but I hoped the dub kept the cards like that. Other then that it's a good movie, and I would gladly try a Dimension Duel myself only without the Shadow Business around.
Summary: The battle between Dan, and Halldor ended with the Nordic Gods overwhelming Dan ending Team Lancer's time in the Team Matches leaving only Yuya, and Dan to represent the Lancers in the Friendship Cup. It is the semi-finals where Dan is close to carry out his ambition to have Roget take responsibility for his crimes in the Synchro Dimension. But first he has to get pass Yuya, Sayer, and the Duelist who uses the Earthbound Immortals, Sergey. The Semi-Finals start off at a high note, and then the Dimension received unexpected visitors after the match. What will become of the Synchro Dimension?
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! as a whole but I own any OCs! ENJOY!
Previously on Ascension of the Dragons:
It shows Halldor having all the Nordic Gods ready as he grinned, "And now let's see what you can do against the Nordic Gods, and why they've been looking forward to your power!"
"I can summon a different monster from my Extra Deck as long as it's monster type, attribute, and rank is the same as Dragluon's! So now I can summon in his place, Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!" Dan called as Tachyon Dragon appeared ready to battle the Nordic Gods.
Halldor called as Valkyrie tuned with the two Tokens, "And now Valkyrie tune with my level 4 Einherjar Tokens! The all-seeing and all-powerful king who rules the heavens of the North Star. Now, show your might that reigns over the Gods of Asgard! Synchro Summon! Rule over the gods of heaven and earth! The highest god, Odin, Father of the Aesir!"
"Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!" Dan cried as Prime Photon Dragon shown up roaring as Dan used it's negated ability, "See when Afterglow Dragon is used as an Overlay Unit, and detached I can either summon my second Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, or use it as an Overlay Unit to an Xyz Monster on my field! And the best part if this effect is used during battle all of Numbers on my field have their attack points doubled!"
"It's not enough!" Halldor called at Dan's shocked look before he countered, "I activate the Counter Trap, Solemn Judgment! By trading half my points Afterglow Dragon's ability is hereby prohibited by the Gods!"
The Nordic Gods all stopped Afterglow Dragon as Odin struck Prime Photon Dragon destroying it as Dan screamed from the attack while Melissa Trail announced, "And with that cowpikes even with all Dan can do the Nordic Gods were too much for him! Which means Team Ragnarok wins the duel congratulations!"
"Sorry I screwed that one." Dan smiled apologizing to them.
Julia shrugged with a grin, "You did amazing out there so you should feel proud."
"And you stood your ground, and battled the three Nordic Gods with all you got." Riley added agreeing.
"Not to mention, you had took the advice of Yusei to grow stronger, and that was proof." Yuya said his own sentence with a smile.
That's when Ray finished, "And you didn't stop, or falter, or run when you have a chance. You battled to the very end, and that's what happened with that match so congratulations."
Dan smiled at the support as the screen rose to the sky that it's nearly sunset.
(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.
With the Team Matches now done for the Lancers they were waiting for the Semi-Finals to be announced but knows that they can't be done today since it's getting dark. Still it never hurts to know in advance on who's dueling who. Roget was in his office waiting to see what match-ups are next since Dan is close to getting in his, and Sayer's way, and Sergey is close to do his purpose to dethrone Jack, and finish off what Roget started. Now finally Melissa Trail announced, "Sorry to keep you all waiting but now it's time to announce the Semi-Final Matches! Would the remaining four duelists step up?"
Yuya, Dan, Sergey, and Sayer all walked up to the field as Melissa Trail added, "After all that happened the four Duelists you all see before you came so far, and now this match before the finals is where their skills will be put through the absolute test! Dan Kizami, a young boy with big dueling skills that is able to defeat Yusei Fudo himself, Sergey Volkov the Dueling Destroyer, and the most dangerous man to pick up a Duel Disk, Sayer Archada the Psychic Master, and one of the most skillful Psychic Duelists there is, and Yuya Sakaki, the most aspiring Dueltainer who duels with smile are all here to battle it out! Let's see who's dueling against who!"
on the big screen the four pictures shuffled as they stopped showing who's dueling each other.
Match 1: Yuya Sakaki vs Sayer
Match 2: Dan Kizami vs Sergey Volkov
"And the deciding has ended! First off Yuya is up against Sayer in a attempt to have the Psychic Master go down while on the next match Dan Kizami is against Sergey Volkov to try to see if he can stop the Dueling Destroyer himself!" Melissa Trail announced as the screen shows the lines connected to a crown on top, "Hopefully the young lads are ready for such duels!"
"Not sure if I am. What bout you Dan?" Yuya asked Dan who shook his head.
"I'm not either. Sayer is already enough to be hard, but Sergey who uses cards based on the Immortals? That's like impossible to handle." Dan admitted to him as he then looked down, "And what's worst those powerful Fusion, and Synchro monsters he has also makes it tougher with destruction so I need to be careful how I battle against him."
"Well still you managed to make it past other duelists so this should be no problem!" Yuya grinned before offering a hand, "And when I take down Sayer, then the two of us can duel each other. I've been wondering what I would do against ya."
"Yeah, that's a comforting thought." Dan smiled shaking his hand, "Odd-Eyes are great cards, and I wondered what their power would do against me."
"That's the spirit." Yuya smiled as they turned to see Melissa Trail stepped forward.
"The Semi-Finals will begin starting tomorrow morning. For now get some rest you all, you've worked real hard to get this far so save your energy for up ahead! See ya!" she announced winking to them.
Later at Night...
Dan, and Yuya were editing their Decks at different tables to prepare themselves for the big day by tomorrow. Sayer is well versed at Psychic Cards, and is able to handle a Dark Signer on his own with a win strategy but was taken down, and Sergey uses the Earthbound Immortal who have the power to destroy multiples of land on Earth, and can even destroy the Synchro Dimension so their both threats they need to defeat. Which is why preparation is always best suited against them, and making sure things are ready by the time.
Riley of course is still quite nervous about Dan battling Sergey since he had defeated Kit, Allie, and Shay, and is able to wield the Earthbound Immortals which are some of the strongest monsters in Duel Monsters so she has to say something, "Dan?"
"Hm?" Dan looked over curiously.
"I... I'm worried. You against Sergey, is like really bad." Riley admitted to him, "He has lots of relentless abilities, and with those monsters... I'm afraid I would lose you."
Dan blinked hearing that as Riley looked down, "Riley..."
She didn't say anything with closed eyes, and tears whelling only to feel his hand on her head as she looked up seeing Dan having a smile, "Don't worry about me. I don't plan to let Sergey take me down, and I won't think of letting both him, and Sayer win the Friendship Cup. Besides, I know the weaknesses the Immortals have, and if I have to go through all seven of them then I will as long as I can take the down. Just believe in me, and I can get through it with all I've got. Always believe. I know that sounds like a cat poster but it's true."
Riley doesn't get why she finds that sentence familiar but it made her better as she nodded with a smile hugging him close to her as Dan hugged her back, "Then... Can you sleep with me for tonight?"
Dan blinked before smiling, "Of course, just as soon as I'm done with my Deck."
'Just don't do anything to her.' Ray teased making him blush before turning back to his Deck as Riley giggled before kissing him walking to her room as Celina walked in.
"Dan?" Celina asked making him turn to her, "You sure your ready for this?"
"Yeah. The Earthbound Immortals are a tough bunch but if the Signers can take them down so can I. Besides Shay had defeat Aslla piscu without a Signer Dragon so that's a good thing." Dan smiled to her, "I just hope my Decks are ready for me to go head to head with him."
Celina smiled before giving a card to him, "Here. I think this can help you out."
Dan blinked as he looks at the card seeing it's called Battle Fusion, "Battle Fusion? Your giving a card like this to me?"
"Yup. I figured it can help bring you good luck against that creep." Celina grinned to him as Dan look up at her, "It helped me out against a lot of situations even against the Chazz as he calls himself so it should help you out as well."
Dan smiled to her, "I'll make sure I'll put it to good use."
"Okay. Good luck tonight." Celina smiled walking back to her room as Dan smiled before taking a look at Battle Fusion as he turned back to his Deck.
'Dan?' Ray asked him.
"Yeah Ray?" Dan asked her.
'From what I can tell Sergey has the advantage with that Harmontic Synchro Fusion Spell he has, and more with those Earthbound Immortals which meant that your Decks can be put through a tough bargain.' Ray admitted to him, 'I think you should use a new Deck which is like your Facility Deck.'
"A new Deck?" Dan asked surprised not expecting Ray to suggest something like that, "Why, my Decks are already strong on their own."
'Yes but based on what you told me on the Immortals, and seeing Sergey's cards they can't handle that much destruction effects, and your decks can't defend against many direct attacks. Not to mention if you can't attack the Earthbound Immortals then trying to make a hard attack will end in failure.' Ray answered to him, 'And let's not forget the amount of effect damage he can land with Geo Kraken, Aslla piscu, and even with Chacu Challhua, and Cusuliu halving your Life Points, and that basically means your Decks are all outclassed by the Immortals.'
Now that she says it Dan never gave it that much thought. She was right since his Decks resolve around attacks, and not much on protection leaving much to Action Cards to do the protecting for him but now hearing it from Ray he can't rely on Action Cards for defense against someone like Sergey if he does have that kind of destruction power, and that type of burn damage. So now learning of that he has to make a Deck capable of fighting Sergey's Earthbound Cards to the very end. And he knows how to do that by using the alternate Dragons of the Signers to the fullest. Using the power of the Duel Dragons.
The Next Day...
"Welcome back to the final day of the Friendship Cup everybody!" Melissa Trail announced to everyone, "And now where left off the Semi-Finals were deciding, and our final duelists are fully rested, and ready for the day ahead! So now it's time to begin the first of the two Semi-Final Matches starting with Yuya Sakaki vs Sayer!"
Yuya took a breath as he stepped into the field ready to begin as Sayer was ready with a smirk, "Your next. Get ready to taste the grasp of Psychic Dueling."
"Alright. As long as you get ready for my entertainment." Yuya grinned at him getting on his Duel Runner.
"Oh fair enough." Sayer mused off as they both gotten at the starting line.
The arrow spin before stopping at Action Field, "Crossover Acceleration activate!"
Crossover Acceleration

(Sayer: 3500)
"And now level 3 Wheeleder tune with level 5 Psychic Snail!" Sayer called as the two flew up tuning.

"Sayer already brought his ace out." Dan said seeing that, "It can stop any effect of a Spell or Trap that targets Psychics by paying 1000 points, and allows Sayer to gain points equal to the attack points of a monster it destroys in battles. Though that effect is pretty much useless since Pendulum Monsters don't go to the graveyard."
"So Yuya's safe from Sayer gaining Life Points." Celina said hearing that, "Still from seeing his match with Yugo, Allie, and Yuto he is still so tough to beat."
"Yuya is as well." Tate smiled, "He isn't the creator of Pendulum Summon for nothing!"
"I place two cards down, and end my turn." Sayer ended his turn as he smirked to Yuya, "It's your move now Yuya."
Yuya 1st Turn:
"Okay I draw!" Yuya called drawing looking, "And now I use Scale 1 Performapal Smile Sorcerer, and Scale 8 Performapal Celestial Magician to set the Pendulum Scale! I'm taking control of this Duel starting now!"

"And now I activate Trump Witch's special ability!" Yuya called as Trump Witch giggled twirling her staff, "By sacrificing her, I can add Polymerization from my Deck or graveyard to the hand!"
'Polymerization? Interesting...' Sayer admitted in his mind as Yuya added the card from Trump Witch's spell.
Yuya called, "And now I activate Fusion Substitute!"
Fusion Substitute

(This card's name is always treated as "Polymerization".)
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Materials. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Fusion Monster in your Graveyard; return it to the Extra Deck, then draw 1 card.

"Phoenix with the Dichromatic Eyes! Fuse with the armor of the rose knight to conjure a new possibility! Fusion Summon! Level 8, Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw!"
At that a werewolf armored monster with it's back shaping like Pendulum Dragon's own pattern, and sharp claws appeared roaring.

"That's a new one." Allie admitted seeing it.
"It's stronger which make that psychic go kapoot!" Frederick grinned seeing how strong it is.
Yuya explained, "As Metal Claw is summoned with Polymerization as what Fusion Substitute is treated as it cannot be effected by other cards!"
"Hmm... Large points, and can't be effected." Sayer muttered to himself hearing that staring at Odd-Eyes Claw.
Yuya called, "And now Metal Claw attack Thought Ruler Archfiend! And while your at it use your special ability to get 300 points stronger!"
Metal Claw yowled sharpening his claws. (ATK: 3000 + 300 = 3300)
Sayer grabbed an Action Card but didn't use it as Metal Claw slashed Thought Ruler Archfiend destroying it as Sayer grunted. (Sayer: 3000)
"Alright he got rid of Thought Ruler Archfiend!" Allie cheered seeing that.
Quattro narrowed his eyes, "Maybe but he needs to be careful. Who knows what else that Psychic Guy can do?"
"Nothing good that's for certain." Yuto agreed with his fellow Xyzian especially since he has Hyper Psychic Blaster, Overmind Archfiend, Ultimate Axon Kicker, and Psychic Blaster's Assault Mode form.
"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Yuya ended his turn.
Odd-Eyes Metal Claw: (ATK: 3300 - 300 = 3000)
Sayer chuckled before calling with a smirk, "I activate the trap, Psychic Tuning!"

At that Thought Ruler Archfiend appeared growling: (Attack Position)
"He got back real easily. I knew that was too easy." Shay grunted seeing that.
Yuya: 4000
Sayer: 3000

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 Thought Ruler Archfiend is 1000 points stronger!" Sayer called as Thought Ruler Archfiend growled gaining power. (ATK: 2800 + 1000 = 3800) "And now Thought Archfiend attack Metal Claw!"
Thought Ruler Archfiend charged in attacking Metal Claw as Yuya grabbed an Action Spell calling, "I activate the Action Spell, Evasion!"
Evasion
Action Spell Card
When a monster declares an attack: Target that monster; negate the attack.
"Normally however since your targeted a Psychic Monster on my field with a Spell or Trap effect, I can stop it by paying 1000 Life Points!" Sayer called as he glowed. (Sayer: 2000)
Without Evasion, Thought Ruler Archfiend succeeded it's attack on Metal Claw destroying it as Yuya grunted. (Yuya: 3200)
"And as your Metal Claw was destroyed, and gone to the graveyard in battle, Thought Ruler Archfiend's other ability allows me to gain Life Points equal to it's attack points!" Sayer smirked as Thought Ruler Archfiend gave him energy. (Sayer: 5000)
"Over 5000 life points?" Aura asked in shock.
"That's one scary thing about the Psychic Cards. They focus on constant healing to make up for their effects on paying points or taking effect damage yourself. It's a bit like Declan's Deck except the Psychics are more relentless." Dan admitted to them.
Yuya not letting the loss bother him told Sayer, "I have an ability of my own Sayer! Celestial Magician's Pendulum Ability allows me to destroy it to summon back 1 Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster that was just destroyed!"
Celestial Magician opened the graveyard portal before shattering as Metal Claw rose up roaring.
Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw: (Attack Position)
"Fine keep him if you want." Sayer smirked before saying, "Cause now level 8 Thought Ruler Archfiend tune with level 1 Doctor Cranium!"
The two flew up as Thought Ruler Archfiend turned to 8 rings while Cranium himself turned to 1 star.
(LV: 8 + 1 = 9)
"Blast my Flames for Vengeance! Surge through my ways of revenge! Synchro Summon! Level 9, Hyper Psychic Blaster!" Sayer called as his other Psychic Synchro Monster appeared.
(Attack Position)
Hyper Psychic Blaster
Earth Type
Level 9
Psychic/Synchro
ATK: 3000
DEF: 2500
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Psychic-Type Monsters
If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked a Defense Position monster and that monster's DEF is lower than this card's ATK (use its original values if the other monster is no longer on the field): Gain LP equal to the surplus.
"There's that other monster." Yuto grunted seeing the card that defeated him in his own match against Sayer.
Sayer added to the tension, "Since it's target left the field, Psychic Tuning is destroyed, and as it's destroyed it's effect goes off. So now I lose 400 points equal to Thought Ruler Archfiend's level. Thought Ruler Archfiend is level 8 so I lose 3200 points."
The trap's effect got to him but he doesn't look too bothered. (Sayer: 1800)
"Why did he do that he just hurt himself." Tate said seeing that.
Kit explained, "It's Thought Ruler Archfiend itself is why. As Dan said when it destroys a monster in battle, and sends it to the graveyard it allows Sayer to gain Life Points equal to it's attack points. Metal Claw's points are 3000 so he gained the 3000 boost."
"Which is enough for him to summon Hyper Psychic Blaster, and survive Psychic Tuning's effect to deal damage, and as Dan said before the Psychic Cards focus on healing their player so Sayer will gain more Life Points, and in case Yuya destroys Thought Ruler Archfiend before he can gain Life Points." Dipper further told them on Sayer's decision.
Julia finished it up, "So in short Sayer had gain lots of points for him to pay up for Psychic Tuning which meant he only loses 200 points from that last effect."
"Oh I get now. It just means that Sayer didn't allow Yuya to destroy Thought Ruler himself, and summon Hyper Psychic Blaster while managing to get pass the downside of Psychic Tuning!" Tate realized hearing that.
Declan nodded, "Exactly. Sayer is a Master of the Psychic Cards, and it's gonna take Yuya all he has to get pass him."
Yuya called, "Well to start that, I'll activate my face down Illusion Balloons!"
Illusion Balloons
Quick-Play Spell Card
If a monster(s) was destroyed during this turn, while you controlled it: Excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 excavated "Performapal" monster, also shuffle the rest back into your Deck.
"Since a monster was destroyed this turn as I controlled it, I can look at my top five cards, and summon a Performapal among them!" Yuya called checking his top cards as he grinned, "And the card I got is Performapal Barracuda!"

"It's my turn draw!" Yuya called drawing looking as he then said, "I start off by summoning Performapal Radish Horse!"

"And now I activate Radish Horse's Special Ability! Psychic Blaster loses 500 points while Metal Claw gains 500!" Yuya called as the two were targeted.
Hyper Psychic Blaster: (ATK: 3000 - 500 = 2500)
Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw: (ATK: 3000 + 500 = 3500)
"And then I activate Barracuda's Special Ability! So now the boost that Metal Claw gains is doubled!" Yuya called as Barracuda gave Metal Claw strength. (ATK: 3500 + 500 = 4000) "And as it attacks all monsters on my field gains 300 attack points until the end of battle!"
Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw: (ATK: 4000 + 300 = 4300)
Radish Horse: (ATK: 500 + 300 = 800)
Barracuda: (ATK: 500 + 300 = 800)
"4300 attack points!" the You Show Trio called in glee seeing Yuya made it stronger as Metal Claw slashed Psychic Blaster taking it down like Thought Ruler Archfiend as Sayer braced himself. (Sayer: 0500)
"And now if Yuya attacks with either Radish Horse, or Barracuda then he'll win!" Tate smiled elastic seeing victory is in front of Yuya.
"Win this Yuya!" Frederick, and Allie cheered.
Sayer smirked to Yuya, "Sorry but I can't let that attack happen. I activate the trap, Telepathic Power!"
Telepathic Power
Normal Trap Card
When a Psychic-Type monster you control is destroyed by battle with an opponent's attacking monster: Target the opponent's monster; destroy that target, and if you do, gain LP equal to the destroyed monster's ATK on the field.
"So now as a Psychic Monster on my field is destroyed by your monster that attacked, that monster is destroyed!" Sayer smirked shocking Yuya as Odd-Eyes Metal Claw shattered, "Then I regain Life Points equal to it's attack power putting me back up."
The trap glowed on him as he smirked. (Sayer: 4800)
"Oh come on!" Sylvio yelled at this.
Sayer smirked, "Your gonna have to try harder."
"Glad I will." Yuya grinned which made Sayer confused until Yuya called, "Smile Sorcerer's Pendulum Ability activates! When a monster on my field is destroyed while it's points are higher then it's original then Smile Sorcerer comes to my side!"
Smile Sorcerer appeared from the Pendulum Zone smiling.
Performapal Smile Sorcerer: (Attack Position)
"What?" Sayer asked shocked not expecting that kind of move.
"And also as Smile Sorcerer is summoned, I can take a Smile Card, and add it to my hand." Yuya said adding Smile World before calling, "Alright Smile Sorcerer attack!"
Smile Sorcerer charged an attack at Sayer who grabbed an Action Card, "I activate the Action Spell, Choice Choice!"
Choice Choice
Action Spell Card
During damage calculation: Activate 1 of these effects;
● Monsters cannot be destroyed by this battle.
● Any battle damage from this battle becomes halved.
"So now the damage from this attack is cut in half!" Sayer called as Smile Sorcerer's attack hit causing him to cry out. (Sayer: 3550)
"Well now Radish Horse will attack!" Yuya called as Radish Horse charged while he grabbed an Action Card of his own, "And I activate the Action Spell, High Dive which increases Radish Horse by 1000!"
Performapal Radish Horse: (ATK: 600 + 1000 = 1600)
Radish Horse tackled Sayer's Runner as he spin around before keeping his balance looking unpleased. (Sayer: 1950)
"Yuya might not of have defeated him this turn but he's still on the good zone!" Allie cheered.
"Maybe but that look on Sayer doesn't look good." Celina told her seeing Sayer's expression.
Yuya now at Main Phase two called, "And now I activate the spell, Smile World!"
Smile World
Normal Spell Card
All face-up monsters currently on the field gain 100 ATK for each monster currently on the field, until the end of this turn.
The Spell shows the faces, and smiles like before as everyone smiled at this as Yuya smiled, "All monsters gain 100 points for each monster on the field!"
Smile Sorcerer: (ATK: 2500 + (100 * 3) = 2800)
Barracuda: (ATK: 800 - 300 + (100 * 3) = 800)
Radish Horse: (ATK: 1600 - 300 + (100 * 3) = 1600)
"And now I activate Smile Sorcerer's other ability! If every monster on my field is a Magician, Odd-Eyes, or Performapal while Smile Sorcerer's attack points are higher then his original, I am allowed to draw cards equal to the number of monsters who's attack points are higher but I cannot Special Summon anything else for the rest of the turn!" Yuya called to them, "There are 3 monsters who's attack points are higher! So I draw 3 new cards!"
He drew three looking to see before adding, "Then Fusion Substitute's effect! By banishing this card, and shuffling Odd-Eyes Metal Claw back to my Deck, I can draw another card!"
He drew again.
"Seesh he keeps on drawing." Sylvio groaned seeing this.
"Maybe but with more cards means Yuya has more of a chance to take Sayer down." Dan told him as they see Yuya, and Sayer passing through a curve.
Yuya looked before calling, "Now I'll use Scale 1 Stargazer Magician, and Scale 7 Performapal Momoncarpet to set the Pendulum Scale!"
His Spell Stopping Magician, and a cat like carpet appeared raising up.

"So now I can summon monsters between levels 2, and 6 all at the same time! But since Smile Sorcerer's Ability doesn't allow me to summon anymore monsters this turn I'll place 1 card down, and that's it for this turn." Yuya ended his turn.
"And Yuya ended his turn that left Sayer injured! I would hate to be Yuya at this point!" Melissa Trail called from her helicopter.

"I banish monsters from my field, or graveyard including a Synchro Monster, to Fusion Summon!" Sayer called as Thought Ruler Archfiend, and Doctor Cranium fused together.
"Archfiend with Vengeance Flames! Combine with the telepathic doctor, and from this mindset of potential rain down your black flames! Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 10! Ultimate Axon Kicker!"

"And due to Future Glow, Axon Kicker's attack points are now 4700!" Sayer smirked as Axon Kicker was energized.
Ultimate Axon Kicker: (ATK: 2900 + (200 * 9) = 4700)
"Oh no this will beat Yuya!" Tate cried seeing this.

For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, return any face-up "Performapal" monster you control that is destroyed by battle or card effect to the hand instead of sending it to the Graveyard.
"So now all monsters on my field goes to defense mode if I have a Performapal on the field, and then any Performapal that goes to the graveyard from being destroyed is added to my hand instead!" Yuya called as Radish Horse, and Smile Sorcerer changed mode.
Radish Horse: (Defense Position)
Smile Sorcerer: (Defense Position)
Sayer grabbed an Action Card, "Defense won't help, and here's why! When Axon Kicker attacks a monster in Defense Mode you still take damage!"
The attack destroyed Radish Horse as Yuya grunted as Sayer called, "Then I activate Wonder Chance!"

"So now Axon Kicker can attack once more! And that target is Barracuda!" Sayer called as Axon Kicker attacked again destroying Barracuda as Yuya cried out while the Lancers cried, "YUYA!"
"And now I win." Sayer smirked only to hear Yuya laughing, "What?"
Yuya grinned, "Sorry I'm not done yet." (Yuya: 0050)
"What? How can you still have Life Points?" Sayer questioned in shock.
"It's thanks to Performapal Momoncarpent. Thanks to it's Pendulum Ability all battle damage, I would take is cut in half. Axon Kicker's first attack dealt 1350, and the second dealt 1800. Leaving my points just shy of 50 points of damage." Yuya grinned to him.
"Stubborn!" Sayer grunted frustrated.
"He's safe." Tate sighed in relief.
"But barely. He has to get pass Axon Kicker, and it can't be destroyed by card effects." Kit admitted to them.
"Plus Stargazer can stop Sayer's Spell Cards when a Pendulum Monster attacks so it can't stop his Action Cards when he doesn't attack." Dan added.
"I end my turn." Sayer grunted left with nothing else.
Yuya 3rd Turn:
"My turn! Draw!" Yuya called drawing as he looked smiling, "Alright time to swing into Action! I Pendulum Summon! Come on back!"

"Finally come back to the stage, Barracuda!" Yuya finished as Barracuda joined the field again.

"And now Radish Horse use your ability, and give 500 points to Slime Sorcerer by taking that from Axon Kicker!" Yuya called as Radish Horse done it's work again.
Axon Kicker: (ATK: 4700 - 500 = 4200)
Smile Sorcerer: (ATK: 2500 + 500 = 3000)
"And now I sacrifice Ballad, and Radish Horse!" Yuya called as the two vanished as he called, "And now I summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

"It's stronger then Axon Kicker!" Allie cheered.
"If Yuya attacks it's over!" Shay called.
Sayer knowing he has to act fast grabbed an Action Card as he grunted, "This won't help!"
"And now Smile Sorcerer attack Axon Kicker with Smile Spark!" Yuya called as Smile Sorcerer attacked Axon Kicker as it roared being destroyed as Sayer cried out, (Sayer: 0650) "And now finish it Odd-Eyes! Spiral Flame Strike!"
His Dragon roared before firing a blast as Sayer watched in horror being struck screaming.
Yuya: 0050
Sayer: 0000
Yuya wins the duel!
The Lancers all cheered as Declan, Shay, and Quattro gave out smiles or grins seeing Yuya managed to stop Sayer as Melissa Trail announced, "What a comeback! With that final blow, Yuya Sakaki has blown away Sayer the Psychic Master, and is now the first Duelist to be in the Final Match where he is either against Dan Kizami, or Sergey Volkov!"
Yuya rode back to the pit as Dan hugged him surprising the young man, "You did Yuya! I'm so proud of you!"
"Uh... Thanks." Yuya smiled hugging him back, "I honestly thought I was toast but thank goodness to Last Minute Cancel, and Momoncarpet."
"Yeah if you didn't have that they Sayer would win." Celina smiled as they heard Melissa Trail announcing.
"And now with that match taken care of the next Semi-Final Match, Dan Kizami vs Sergey Volkov is up next! Who's gonna win this next match, and face Yuya in the final match! No time then the present to find-" Melissa Trail announced only for shadows to hang over the arena as she asked, "What in the world?"
They looked up seeing hang-gliders as Celina widen her eyes seeing their Obelisk Force, "Oh no! Their here!"
"The Fusion Dimension." Declan narrowed his eyes.
Meanwhile...
Sayer entered Roget's office as said man turned as Sayer breathed holding his arm, "What... What was in that boy? He's ability are stronger then Psychic Dueling, and the Dark Signers I've faced!"
"Blaming it on your opponent now?" Roget asked him.
Sayer glared, "You don't know what I'm talking about! Something's odd about that boy! When his dragon attacked me, I felt like I'm getting blasted for real! Something's going on with him I just know it!"
"That sounds all well, and good... But..." Roget said holding a finger before he stare hardened standing up, "You've lost, and I have no need for weaklings."
"What? What are you talking about?" Sayer asked backing up only to hit his back against Sergey who just arrived.
Roget answered, "You were a Failure like everyone else. I had used your abilities to have Sergey be unstoppable, and get rid of those who stood in my way. You handled your part, and now Sergey will finish his. And after his is finished I'll dispose of him myself."
"You really think you can stop Sergey as we made him? Even since he's hearing it?" Sayer grunted to him.
Roget chuckled with a cold smirk, "Oh don't worry, Sergey is under my control so he can't resist me... You however."
He snapped his fingers as Sergey trapped Sayer in a full nelson as Sayer struggled against him which Roget finished, "He's fine to disobey against. And now that you done your purpose I'll finish the rest."
"You traitor!" Sayer spat at Roget glaring.
"Thanks for such kind words." Roget smirked raising his Duel Disk, and pressed a button as Sayer screamed vanishing leaving a card in his wake as Roget picked it up before tossing it in the trash, "That takes care of that."
He then turned to his screen seeing Obelisk Force had arrived as Roget finished, "And another one begins."
And with that Obelisk Force has came at last leaving an Invasion full hand but for what? With Sayer now defeated, and one of the three members of Roget's Faction gone the Lancers will not take an easy until Obelisk Force is repelled. Can the Lancers save the Synchro Dimension from Obelisk Force? Be sure to ask Dan questions, and be sure to review!
