bopdog111: Now it's Cassie's turn for the Battle City.
Ulrich362: True, but with how quickly Riley lost it won't be easy for her and if she gets taken out... that would be bad.
bopdog111: So she better stay careful, and stay alert for who is her opponent right?
Ulrich362: Agreed, well let's see what happens. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
It had been around ten minutes since Riley's injury led to her forfeit against Espa Roba. Cassie was helping Riley walk around.
"Do you think we'll find anyone?" Riley asked her.
"Yeah. It can't be that hard right?" Cassie asked with a smile.
Riley smiled back before kissing her cheek. "Yeah, you're right."
That was when she noticed something near their location which has clouds, and something shot down before raising to reveal a red serpent dragon with two mouths roaring catching Cassie's attention as well.
"That... what is that?" Riley asked in shock.
"That doesn't look like any of the other dragons I've seen." Cassie admitted before smiling, "Let's go check it out!"
With that she helped Riley head to where the dragon is located.
'Cassie... be careful.' Riley thought as they approached it.
When they arrived they see a mature blue jacket tri-colored young man with a golden puzzle on him was struggling against a boy that is bald with a glowing eye on his head with rings, and a black suit that has 2 spells, 1 trap, a Slime like creature on his field along with the Dragon.
(Yami Yugi: 2100)
(Strings: 3000)
Riley's eyes widened in shock seeing the dragon.
"Whoa what card is that?" Cassie asked as she helped Riley sit down with her checking her Duel Disk.
Slifer the Sky Dragon
Divine Type
Level 10
Divine-Beast
ATK: X000
DEF: X000
Everytime the opponent summons creature into the field, the point of the player's card is cut by 2000 points. X stands for the number of the player's cards in hand.
"Huh? This is a strange card." Cassie admitted seeing the dragons stats.
"Divine-Beast... a god?" Riley whispered. "Maybe with that we can stop Duel Academy."
"But I never heard of anything like this. And look at it's abilities, they're written so weird like, and X in it's points? Shouldn't it be the traditional question mark?" Cassie asked her.
"Maybe we can ask after the duel." Riley suggested.
"It's your turn Yugi." the boy known as Strings said distorted.
Yami Yugi ? Turn:
The boy known as Yugi drew looking.
"So that's the King of Games, Mokuba told us about?" Cassie asked seeing him
"Yeah, I guess so." Riley nodded only to frown. "His opponent kind of scares me though."
"I activate Monster Reborn!" Yugi called as a face down flip, "So now I revive Buster Blader!"
At that a warrior holding a sword appeared.
"And as Slifer's also a dragon Buster Blader gains 500 points!" Yugi called as Buster Blader glowed. (ATK: 2600 + 500 = 3100)
"Those points won't matter as long as Slifer's special ability lowers their points by 2000!" Strings yelled as Slifer fired orbs from it's upper mouth, "Thunder Shot!"
The orbs hit Buster Blader weakening it. (ATK: 3100 - 2000 = 1100)
"Maybe so... But Marik, I've figured out your combo's weakness!" Yugi declared to Strings pointing a finger at him.
"What?" Strings questioned.
"Why not you watch? Buster Blader attacks!" Yugi called as Buster Blader charged at Slifer.
"Revival Jam takes the attack from Jam Defender!" Strings called as Buster Blader slashed Revival Jam destroying.
"And now due to Revival Jam's ability it regenerates." Yugi told Strings, "Which is good time to activate Arcane Revival! This spell when your monster is destroyed allows me to summon that monster to my field, and treats it as a monster I own!"
Revival Jam appeared on Yugi's field.
"And now Card of Safe Return's ability activates which allows you to draw 3 cards as a monster is summoned from the graveyard!" Yugi called as Strings drew 3 cards, "Which in turn allows Slifer to get 3000 points stronger!"
Slifer: (ATK: 14000 + (3 * 1000) = 17000/DEF: 14000 + (3 * 1000) = 17000)
"Whoa wait 17000?" Cassie asked in shock.
"I think his plan backfired." Riley admitted.
"And now from Slifer's ability Thunder Shot is forced to activate!" Yugi continued as Slifer fired orbs at Revival Jam destroying it, "And as it's destroyed it's revived!"
Revival Jam appeared again.
"And again you draw 3 cards which gets Slifer stronger!" Yugi called as Strings drew again.
Slifer: (ATK: 17000 + (3 * 1000) = 20000/DEF: 17000 + (3 * 1000) = 20000)
"Hey wait... Oh so that's what he's after!" Cassie realized.
"Yeah, if the combo works like it should... the duel is over." Riley agreed.
"Your making Slifer more powerful Yugi. Now you will NEVER defeat Slifer!" Strings declared as Slifer again destroyed Revival Jam, it revives, and Strings drew three more cards as the loop goes on, "And for each time Revival Jam is revived Slifer will grow more powerful, and make your situation more desperat-Huh? Ah, no!"
It was too late for him to realize the danger his combo has, and now he doesn't have a card left to draw.
"Your combo's greatest weakness is the deck itself as even it has limits!" Yugi declared as Strings dropped to knees dropping his hand as Slifer collapsed.
Yami Yugi: 2100
Strings: 3000 (Decked Out)
Yami Yugi wins the duel!
"If you can't destroy the monster... target the duelist." Riley said. "He really is an amazing duelist."
"He used that guy's card combo to his advantage." Cassie agreed to her, "He must be this Dimension's Strongest Duelist."
Riley just nodded at that. Yugi walked as he, and Strings talked before Yugi acquired his Locator Card, and Slifer before to the girl's shock Strings vanished in the shadows. Riley's eyes widened in horror. "What happened?"
"I don't know but that can't be good." Cassie said in shock.
Yugi's puzzle glowed before to the girls he suddenly looked younger. The two of them exchanged a shocked glance seeing that.
"...better find them before Marik can." they hear Yugi coming closer in a younger voice before he stopped walking front of them having not noticed them before he smiled to them, "Oh hi there kids."
"Hi." Cassie smiled back.
"You got lost or something?" Yugi asked them.
"N-No we just happen to notice that dragon back there, and we went to see what it's about. We also saw the duel, and your incredible as Mokuba said!" Cassie smiled to him.
"Oh it's just believing in my cards that helped me out in that match." Yugi admitted to her, "It's nice to see you both but I got something to get into."
"Okay. I'm Cassie Sakaki." Cassie introduced herself before gesturing to Riley, "And this is my soulmate, Riley Akaba!"
Seeing her ankle Yugi's eyes widen, "Did Marik, or the Rare Hunters did that to you?"
Riley's eyes widened before she looked down. "I... don't want to say what happened."
"Oh what happened with that guy back there?" Cassie asked Yugi.
Yugi turned back where Strings last was saying, "He's... Sent to the Shadow Realm."
'Yugi, you should take these two along.' the older Yugi's voice said in his head, 'I can feel these two are different, and have powers that we never encountered.'
Riley blinked. "Huh, who said that?"
Yugi blinked turning to her in shock, "You can hear Yami?"
"Yami?" Cassie asked before turning to Riley who looked uncertain.
"I... I think so." Riley nodded.
'I knew you have that kind of ability.' the voice said before the mature Yugi appeared transparent beside Yugi, 'Though your Soulmate doesn't seem to have that ability like you.'
"... That's a good thing." Riley mentioned before pausing. "Oh... there's someone else here Cassie."
"Someone else? Like a Duel Spirit?" Cassie asked her.
"I don't think so." Riley admitted. "It's a person."
"Do you think he's a duelist?" Riley asked.
Cassie nodded before calling, "Excuse me sir!"
Hearing that the man looked over, "Hm?"
"Are you competing in the tournament?' Riley asked him.
"Yes, I am young ladies. You two are?" the man asked them.
Cassie shows a Locator Card, "Yes sir. I haven't dueled someone yet."
"I have... but it didn't go well." Riley admitted.
"Oh well that's too bad young lady." the man said to her, "I'm sure you done your best."
'Not really... but I couldn't.' Riley thought sadly.
Cassie kissed her. Riley smiled at that. "Thanks Cassie."
"Oh you two are that close?" the man asked with a smile, "Well congrats."
"Thank you." Cassie smiled.
"Oh, I'm Mako Tsunami at your service ladies." the man bowed to them.
"It's nice to meet you Mako." Riley nodded back.
"So do you want your first match to be with me young lady?" Mako asked Cassie.
"If you don't mind." Cassie answered only to pause. "Oh... is there somewhere for Riley to sit?"
"Would that fountain work?" Mako asked pointing to a fountain.
They nodded as Cassie helped Riley over to the fountain.
"Thanks Cassie." Riley smiled while carefully putting her leg up.
"No problem." Cassie smiled back kissing her.
Riley kissed her back before turning to watch the duel.
The two prep.
"Action Field: Crossover activate." her Duel Disk said as the field generated.
Crossover
Action Field Spell
You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand.
"Huh?" Mako looked around confused.
"It's a bit complicated but I'll guide you through it as we go on." Cassie explained to him.
Mako nodded at that.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Wake Up by No Resolve)
Cassie: 4000
Mako: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Mako 1st Turn:
"I'll be first. Ready?" Mako said looking at his hand, "And to start things off, I'll place these two card face-down, and I'll summon Mermaid Knight!"
A mermaid wearing armor appeared readying herself.
Mermaid Knight
Water Type
Level 4
Aqua
ATK: 1500
DEF: 700
While "Umi" is face-up on the field, this card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase.
Riley blinked seeing the monster.
"Your move." Mako told her.
Cassie 1st Turn:
"Okay I draw!" Cassie called drawing looking.
"And I activate the trap, Forgotten Temple of the Deep!" Mako called activating a trap.
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.
"As long as this card is on the field it's treated as Umi." Mako explained as temple ruins appeared.
"A trap field card?" Riley asked in shock.
"This will be interesting." Cassie admitted, "Well I'll summon Skylander - Cynder!"
Cynder appeared flapping her wings, "Volts and Lightning!"
Skylander - Cynder
Dark Type
Level 3
Dragon/Tuner
ATK: 1100
DEF: 700
When this card is Normal Summoned: Add 1 "Skylander" monster with a different attribute to your hand from your GY. When this card is sent to the GY: Target 1 monster your opponent controls, negate it's effects until the End Phase. You can only use each effect of "Skylander - Cynder" per turn.
"And next up..." Cassie trailed off hopping on Cynder as she flew up surprising Mako as people who are seeing this walked to see what this match is about as Cassie grabbed an Action Card, "I'll activate Journey Through Skylands!"
Journey Through Skylands
Continuous Spell Card
If you don't control a "Skylander" monster: Destroy this card. Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Skylander" monster from your hand with a different attribute then 1 monster you control.
"So now I can summon another Skylander from my hand that's the different attribute then Cynder! That's a good reason to summon Skylander - Flashwing!"
At that Flashwing appeared calling, "Blinded by the Light!"
Skylander - Flashwing
Earth Type
Level 4
Dragon
ATK: 1500
DEF: 1100
Once per turn: Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck using cards from your hand, or field including this card as Fusion Material. If this card is sent to the GY except by it's own effect: Target 1 "Skylander" monster in your GY, add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Skylander - Flashwing" per turn.
"What are you doing?" Mako questioned.
"Take a look to an art you've never seen before! Level 3 Cynder tunes level 4 Flashwing!" Cassie called as Cynder flew up after Cassie got on the ground turning to three rings while Flashwing synchronized turning to 4 stars.
(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)
Everyone looked on in shock seeing that except Riley who smiled.
"I Synchro Summon, Skylander Trap Force - The Gulper!" Cassie called as Gulper appeared readying his staff.
"If you can't eat them, your done!" the Gulper called.
Skylander Trap Force - The Gulper

Pendulum Effect: Will be revealed.
Monster Effect: 1 "Skylander" Tuner Monster + 1+ non-Tuner Monsters
At the end of the Battle Phase if your opponent took battle damage this turn: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
Riley smiled seeing the monster.
"Wh-Wh-What did you just do?" Mako asked in shock seeing that, "That wasn't a Fusion, or Ritual Summon!"
"It's called a Synchro Summon. You take a Tuner monster with any other monster add their levels together, and summon a Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck to the field by sending those monsters to the graveyard." Cassie explained with a smile, "Pretty neat trick don't ya think?"
"Yeah..." Mako nodded still in shock.
"Well don't stare for long cause both Flashwing, and Cynder's abilities go into effect! First as Cynder goes to the graveyard, Forgotten Temple loses it's effects!" Cassie called as the trap lost it's glow, "Then Flashwing adds Cynder back to my hand!"
She shows the card at that.
"Just who is this girl?" asked one of the people watching the duel.
"And next up, I activate High Dive!" Cassie called activating the Action Card.
High Dive
Action Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; that target gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn.
"It allows Gulper to get 1000 points stronger!" Cassie called as Gulper glowed. (ATK: 2200 + 1000 = 3200)
"Wait, she's cheating." mentioned another person watching.
"She should be disqualified." agreed a third watcher.
"Actually it would be cheating if her Duel Disk registered an error." Riley told them, "This is legit, and even though the card isn't in her Deck she can use it through the field that appeared."
"This is called an Action Field. It allows us both to work with our monsters to grab cards called Action Cards, and use them for what kind of situation your in." Cassie continued, "High Dive is an Action Spell, and it also applies for both players to grab Action Cards. Another neat trick I got from home like Synchro."
"Nobody else can use them it's an unfair advantage." they pointed out as everyone started demanding for Cassie to be disqualified from the tournament.
"Hold on." Mako held out a hand to the people.
They paused at that.
"This field applies to both of us right?" Mako asked Cassie.
"Yeah, it does." Cassie nodded.
"And that means whoever duels you will also use this field?" Mako asked her.
"Yeah." Riley confirmed.
"So that means we both have the same advantage." Mako told the people.
"What about that weird monster she summoned?" another of them asked.
"I'll admit that was strange but it might be a surprise from Kaiba." Mako answered.
The people watched but still quietly complained about it.
"Alright you ready to continue?" Cassie asked Mako.
Mako nodded.
"Well now-" Cassie paused, 'Oh wait Battle City rules state monsters from the Extra Deck can't attack the turn their summoned. Ah well, I can use another Action Card at least.'
A camera was eyeing the match.
Meanwhile...
"So that is how Synchro works." Kaiba said seeing the match with Mokuba.
"Yeah." Mokuba nodded. "I wonder what else makes it different from Fusion though."
"She uses something called a Tuner Monster, and it's white instead of Purple like how Fusion is." Kaiba told him, "And like Ritual it works on levels except it has to be equal, and don't require a Spell."
Mokuba started to say something before just frowning. 'I knew that part, I meant if they had effects because of the Tuners or if there were other unique things about Synchro Monsters.'
Back at the duel...
Cassie set a card, "Okay with one card down, I end my turn which ends High Dive, and Cynder's effects."
Gulper: (ATK: 3200 - 1000 = 2200)
Cassie: 4000
Mako: 4000
Mako 2nd Turn:
"My turn!" Mako called drawing, "And to start off, I'll sacrifice my Mermaid! That allows me to summon my Legendary Fisherman II!"
At that a tanned warrior on a shark like creature appeared ready.
The Legendary Fisherman II
Water Type
Level 5
Warrior
ATK: 2200
DEF: 1800
This card's name becomes "The Legendary Fisherman" while on the field or in the GY. While "Umi" is on the field, this card is unaffected by other monsters' effects. If this face-up card is destroyed by battle, or leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect while its owner controls it: You can add 1 Level 7 WATER monster from your Deck to your hand.
"They're even." Riley whispered.
"As long as this Umi is in this field your monster's abilities do nothing against my Fisherman!" Mako told Cassie as he jumped up as Cassie knowing what he's thinking jumped up as he grabbed a card, "And this is a fitting card! I activate the Action Spell, Extreme Sword!"
Extreme Sword
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster on the field; it gains 1000 ATK during the Battle Phase only.
"So now my Fisherman gains 1000 points!" Mako called as the warrior glowed. (ATK: 2200 + 1000 = 3200) "Now attack!"
Cassie grabbed her own Action Card calling, "I activate the Action Spell, Evasion!"
Evasion
Action Spell Card
When a monster declares an attack: Target that monster; negate the attack.
"This negates your monster's attack!" Cassie called.
Mako countered, "Not so fast! I activate Magic Jammer!"
Magic Jammer
Counter Trap Card
When a Spell Card is activated: Discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.
"When you use a spell this puts a stop by sacrificing 1 card from my hand!" Mako called discarding another Action Card as Evasion shattered causing Cassie to grunt before Fisherman struck Gulper destroying it. (Cassie: 3000)
Riley's eyes widened seeing that.
"It shows I can adapt." Mako grinned to his opponent who grinned back.
"Well good cause Gulper isn't finished yet!" Cassie called before Gulper rose in her left Pendulum Zone.
The crowd started complaining even more. Journey shattered since Gulper left the field.
"This is the Pendulum Method made by my brother." Cassie explained to Mako, "We're not at the true point to it yet so think of it like this: It's now a Spell Card."
"A monster that can treat itself as a Spell huh? Sounds interesting." Mako grinned setting a card, "Well now your up."
Cassie 2nd Turn:
"Don't mind if I do Mako! Draw!" Cassie called drawing, "And to start things off with Skyland Statue!"
Skyland Statue
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster your opponent controls, add 1 "Skylander" Ritual Monster with the same attribute as the target. If a "Skylander" monster would be destroyed you can banish this card instead. You can activate each effect of "Skyland Statue" per turn.
"This takes a monster on your field, and adds a Ritual that has the same attribute to my hand!" Cassie said adding Thumpback.
'Cassie...' Riley thought sadly hearing everyone shouting at her.
"Quiet down!" a familiar voice snapped at them.
Everyone turned to the voice.
It was a TV displayed Kaiba who looked annoyed at the people, "I would appreciate you keep it down, all of you. I am interested in this match up, and I would like to focus. I am working to make my own works of art from this Synchro, and Pendulum Method for anyone to use."
Riley's eyes widened seeing him.
"Seto Kaiba!" Mako called in shock.
"The two girls have a big reason to compete, and they have something to protect entering Battle City to get my help. When you yell at them that way you are insulting their feelings, and motivations. So please keep quiet, and watch as I am." Kaiba told the people.
The crowd immediately shut up at that though they started glaring angrily at Cassandra and Riley.
"Thanks for that Kaiba." Cassie smiled to Kaiba.
Kaiba grinned, "Don't think that would give you an easy road."
"Wouldn't dream of it." Cassie grinned to him, "Alright where are we?"
"You just added that card." Mako answered.
Cassie nodded, "Well I'll summon my favorite hot friend, Hot Dog!"
Hot Dog appeared calling, "See Spot Burn!"
Skylander - Hot Dog
Fire Type
Level 3
Beast/Tuner
ATK: 900
DEF: 1200
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Add 1 "Portal of Power" to your hand. When this card is sent to the GY: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent. You can only use each effect of "Skylander - Hot Dog" per turn.
"As it's summoned, I can add Portal of Power!" Cassie said adding the card, "Which allows me to use it!"
Portal of Power
Ritual Spell Card
This card is used to Ritual Summon any Ritual Monster. Tribute "Skylander" monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the monster you Ritual Summon, then Ritual Summon 1 Ritual Monster from your hand. If you control a "Skylander" Ritual monster when you activated this card, you can also banish "Skylander" monsters from your GY instead of Tributing.
"Be careful..." Riley whispered.
"So now I sacrifice Hot Dog, and Prism Break! That way I can summon a whale of my own! Skylander Giant - Thumpback!" Cassie called as Thumpback appeared from the two.
"Hail to the Whale!" Thumpback declared.
Skylander Giant - Thumpback
Water Type
Level 8
Aqua/Ritual
ATK: 2800
DEF: 1100
You can Ritual Summon this card with, "Portal of Power". Once per turn, if a monster is Special Summoned: Target 1 monster your opponent controls, return that target to the hand. Other effects will be revealed.
"That's quite a whale you got there." Mako admitted to her.
"Well first as Hot Dog was sent you take 500 points of damage!" Cassie called as Hot Dog from the graveyard fired a fireball at Mako.
Mako braced himself as the fireball hit.
(Mako: 3500)
"And as Prism Break was sent himself, your monster loses 500 of it's points!" Cassie added before saying, "Though with Forgotten Temple's effect as Umi, it's defended against monster effects. Now attack Fisherman!"
Thumpback charged at the monster only for Mako to call, "Not so fast, I activate Sea Stealth Attack!"
Sea Stealth Attack
Continuous Trap Card
When this card is activated: You can activate 1 "Umi" from your hand or GY. While "Umi" is on the field, this face-up card gains these effects.
● Once per turn: You can banish 1 WATER monster you control until the End Phase; this turn, face-up Spells/Traps you control cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects (even if this card leaves the field).
● At the start of the Damage Step, if your WATER monster whose original Level is 5 or higher battles an opponent's monster: Destroy that opponent's monster.
"So since Forgotten Temple counts as Umi, Sea Stealth can use it's effects! Since your monster is battling my Water Monster that's originally level 5 or higher it's destroyed!" Mako called as the blast charged.
"By banishing Statue, Thumpback is saved!" Cassie called as the blast was blocked.
"That was really close." Riley admitted nervously.
Thumback destroyed Fisherman as Mako grunted. (Mako: 2900)
"Huh. Not a bad counter young lady. You must've impressed Kaiba quite a bit for him to defend you, and be here." Mako grinned to her as she chuckled rubbing her head, "Well let me warn you in advance, Cassie... Now I'm getting serious."
"Hey Seto... something's been bothering me." Mokuba mentioned.
"What is it?" Kaiba asked turning to him.
"It's her." Mokuba mentioned indicating Riley. "If they came from the same place why was she so bad in her match?"
"Monarchs are difficult cards to control, and she about had it won had she haven't decided to forfeit for that ankle." Kaiba told him turning back, "Her current Deck might be worthless in Battle City."
"Then shouldn't we test her for real?" Mokuba asked.
"Once we get an opponent in mind." Kaiba answered.
Mokuba nodded at that.
"Alright Mako show me all you got!" Cassie grinned.
"Well first as you destroyed my Fisherman, a level 7 Water Monster swims to my hand." Mako said adding a card.
Riley frowned at that. 'He's so strong.'
'No doubt. This guy is a pro.' Cassie thought herself.
Cassie: 3000
Mako: 2900
Mako 3rd Turn:
"I draw!" Mako called drawing, "And to start off I'll activate Pot of Greed!"
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell Card
Draw 2 Cards.
"With it, two cards are on the house for me!" Mako called drawing, "One of them is in fact, Pre-Preparation of Rites!"
Pre-Preparation of Rites
Normal Spell Card
Add 1 Ritual Spell from your Deck to your hand, and add 1 Ritual Monster from your Deck or GY to your hand whose name is listed on that Ritual Spell. You can only activate 1 "Pre-Preparation of Rites" per turn.
"With it, two cards pop into my hand. Fortress Whale's Oath, and Fortress Whale!" Mako called adding the cards.
"Cassie!" Riley cried fearfully hearing that.
'A Ritual...' Cassier grunted.
"And now I activate Fortress Whale's Oath!" Mako called.
Fortress Whale's Oath
Ritual Spell Card
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Fortress Whale". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal 7 or more from the field or your hand.
"By sacrificing, Legendary Fisherman III, I'll summon this whale!" Mako called as a stronger Fisherman appeared sinking to the water behind him, "Seven Seas reign together to welcome the whale that has the artillery of a rainstorm! Swim from the depths, and rose for battle! Ritual Summon! Level 7, Fortress Whale!"
At that a huge black whale appeared bellowing.
Fortress Whale
Water Type
Level 7
Fish/Ritual
ATK: 2350
DEF: 2150
This monster can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Fortress Whale's Oath".
Riley suddenly smiled seeing that.
"That's a big whale." Cassie admitted seeing it, "Wait 2350? Does it have a strong effect?"
"No." Mako answered honestly.
"Oh. Well then Thumpback has an ability you should be aware about!" Cassie called at that.
"An ability?" Mako asked her.
"Since you Special Summoned, Thumpback sends that monster back to your hand!" Cassie called as Thumpback charged water.
Mako's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly Fortress Whale vanished.
"Cassie wins." Riley smiled.
"Hold on a sec." Mako told her.
"Huh?" Riley asked in confusion.
She noticed Sea Stealth Attack is glowing.
"What's going on?" Cassie asked.
"When you use your effect, I've activated one of my own. Sea Stealth Attack's other effect activates when I have Umi in play. It banishes a water monster from my field until the end of the turn that protects my spells, and traps from destruction." Mako explained to them.
Riley's eyes widened in shock.
"Which means Thumpback's effect misfires, and Forgotten City is protected all together." Cassie said hearing that before smiling, "You really are a challenge Mako."
'So they were all talk.' Kaiba thought.
"However to be honest, I still haven't gotten serious." Cassie admitted with a grin.
"What?" Mako questioned.
"Well now I am!" Cassie grinned to him.
Mako told her, "Let's see how far that can go. I place a card down, and end my turn."
Fortress Whale appeared again.
Cassie 3rd Turn:
Cassie drew at that, "My turn! And now, I activate the trap, Pendulum Switch!"
Pendulum Switch
Continuous Trap Card
You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone; Special Summon it. You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Monster Zone; place that Pendulum Monster in your Pendulum Zone. You can only use 1 "Pendulum Switch" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
"With it, I can summon a Pendulum Monster from my Pendulum Zone once a turn! So that means Gulper is going back!" Cassie called as Gulper appeared again ready, "And I summon Cynder back!"
Cynder appeared calling, "Volts and Lightning!"
"And with her ability, I can add Prism Break back to the hand!" Cassie said adding the card.
'Well, maybe not.' Kaiba smirked.
"Then by sending Prism Break back to the graveyard, I can use his ability! As there are two monsters with the same attribute on my field, all monsters become the same level as Cynder!" Cassie called.
Gulper: (LV: 7 - 3 - 4)
Thumpback: (LV: 8 - 4 = 4)
Riley smiled seeing that.
"So your going for a level 12 Synchro now?" Mako asked in shock.
Cassie grinned, "Yeah not really."
"Another type of card only she has?" one of the people watching complained. "This whole tournament must be rigged."
"This one is a bit easier. Watch as I use my three monsters to build the Overlay Network!" Cassie called as three flew into the Overlay Network as a brown haired girl with Yugi, a brown haired boy, a tanned man wearing a black bandana, and a blonde haired boy ran up.
"This is what I'm talking about." the girl told the group, "A duel with this girl that has cards never seen before!"
"Huh?" Riley asked turning to see what was going on.
They look as the portal intensifies as Cassie called, "Mako this is one of my best monsters! I Xyz Summon, Skylander Supercharger - Dive-Clops!"
At that what appeared was a robot one eyed monster calling, "Look Out Below!"
Skylander Supercharger - Dive-Clops

"It's weaker than your Ritual though." Mako pointed out only to pause. "Which probably means it has an incredibly powerful ability."
"Yes monsters that have low points come with incredible abilities!" Cassie called, "And here it is! By using 2 Overlay Units a monster on your field is banished! You can't activate cards against this effect!" (ORU: 3 - 2 - 1)
Mako's eyes widened in shock. Fortress Whale vanished.
"As an added bonus as Cynder was sent Forgotten Temple effects are again gone which means Sea Stealth Attack's effects are also gone!" Cassie called as the traps stopped glowing, "On the otherhand since, I used Dive-Clops' ability, I can't activate Spells, or Traps the turn I use it. Though I've the Action Spell, Quick Attack before hand."
Quick Attack
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster that was summoned from the Extra Deck this turn: It can attack the turn it's summoned.
Mako frowned at that.
"And now Dice-Clops attack!" Cassie called as Dice-Clops charged as Mako ran to an Action Card grabbing it as he was struck crying out. (Mako: 0400)
"So close." Riley whispered.
"I activate Damage Draw!" Mako called.
Damage Draw
Action Spell Card
When you take 2000 or more battle damage: Draw 2 cards.
"Now I draw 2 cards!" Mako called drawing.
"Okay Mako. Your turn now." Cassie said with a smile.
Cassie: 3000
Mako: 0400
Mako 4th Turn:
"Well Cassie. Your strength is amazing, and I think you might even beat Yugi." Mako grinned.
"What, have you lost it Mako?" the blonde boy asked.
"Hm?" Mako, and Cassie looked over as Mako smiled, "Joey, and Yugi! I didn't know you two are watching."
"We just got here, but come on man. Sure she's good but Yuge's the King of Games. No way she can beat him." Joey told him.
"Well she has cards that I've never seen." Mako told him.
Cassie admitted, "Actually, I do think Yugi's stronger since me, and Riley seen him earning that dragon a while back that is a Divine monster that I never seen before."
"What was that monster?" Riley asked.
"You know Riley. Slifer the Sky Dragon or whatever it's called." Cassie answered to her.
"I know it's name... I meant... what kind of card is it." Riley pointed out.
"Well with it being a Divine-Beast kind of monster it should be a God card or something." Cassie told her.
Riley just nodded at that.
"Anyway, I activate Monster Reincarnation!" Mako told her.
Monster Reincarnation
Normal Spell Card
Discard 1 card, then target 1 monster in your GY; add it to your hand.
"I discard this card to add Fisherman III to my hand!" Mako said showing the monster. "And Monster Reborn!"
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"So now Fisherman II comes back!" Mako called as Fisherman II appeared again.
"What now?" Cassie asked.
"By tributing Fisherman II as it's treated as the first Fisherman, I can summon the Legendary Fisherman III!" Mako called as a newer version appeared.
The Legendary Fisherman III
Water Type
Level 7
Warrior
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 "The Legendary Fisherman". When this card is Special Summoned: You can banish all monsters your opponent controls, also this card cannot attack this turn. Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also unaffected by Spell/Trap effects. Once per turn: You can return as many of your opponent's banished cards as possible to their GY, and if you do, the first battle or effect damage your opponent takes this turn becomes doubled.
"They're even!" Yugi realized.
"Not for long! Cause as this guy is summoned all of her monsters are banished!" Mako revealed.
"All of them?" Cassie asked in shock.
Dive-Clops vanished from the waves.
"Oh no!" Riley cried in horror.
"Though now Fisherman can't attack." Mako added.
"Then I still have one turn." Cassie mentioned.
"Though there are things about it you should know." Mako told her mentioning to his monster, "You cannot destroy Fisherman number 3, or use spells, and traps on it. And by shuffling all monsters you have that are banished to your graveyard, the next time you take damage is doubled!"
"Doubled!" Riley cried in shock. 'Then... is it all over?'
Cassie stared before she started laughing.
"Having fun?" Mako guessed.
"Yeah! Your a great guy to battle against! I can't remember the last time, I been in this kind of fun! And I'll gift you with something I learned from home!" Cassie grinned to him.
Cassie 4th Turn:
Cassie cleared her throat before calling, "Ladies, and Gentleman, pay attention to this next move that will be our finale of this match between the Sky Heroes, and the Heroes of the Sea!"
'That sounds like...' Riley started only to look down sadly.
"What's she doing? Is she making herself looking like a clown?" Joey sweatdropped.
"It is embarrassing." the brown haired boy agreed.
"She's dueltaining." Riley told them hearing that.
"Dueltaining? What's that?" Yugi asked curiously.
That's when he noticed Riley looked incredibly upset.
"Riley?" Yugi asked seeing that.
She looked ready to cry.
"And now let us prepare for the draw that will change it all!" Cassie called drawing looking, "And here is a familiar card, Pot of Greed!"
She drew looking, and smiled, "Go time!"
"A good draw?" Mako asked her.
"Yeah! So now, I activate another familiar card called Monster Reborn to summon Prism Break!" Cassie called as a rock man with two green crystals as hands appeared.
"The Beam is Supreme!" Prism Break called.
Skylander - Prism Break
Earth Type
Level 5
Rock
ATK: 2500
DEF: 1000
You can send from your hand to the GY: Target 1 monster you control, all monsters you control become that target's level until the End Phase. You must control 2 or more monster with the same attribute to activate, and to resolve this effect. If this card is sent to the GY except by it's own effect: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; it loses 500 ATK/DEF. You can only use each effect of "Skylander - Prism Break" per turn.
"Another monster with 2500 points, but Mako's fisherman can't be destroyed." Joey pointed out.
"And now Mako allow me to take you to a world you never seen before." Cassie smiled to him, "The card that makes everyone smile, 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.
At that smilely faces, and stars appeared around the area.
Mako looked around in awe. It isn't just him everyone is also looking around in awe. Yugi soon gave a smile closing his eyes, "Whoa, I don't know why but this spell is making me feel relaxed, and warm inside."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Joey agreed.
"Feels wonderful." the brown haired girl said smiling.
"Smile World gives all monsters on the field 100 points for every monster in play." Cassie explained what it does to Mako with a smile.
"All monsters, but that means my Fisherman too." Mako pointed out.
"No it won't. Fisherman is unaffected by Spells, and Traps so it doesn't get the boost." Cassie told him.
Prism Break smiled as he glowed. (ATK: 2500 + (100 * 2) = 2700)
Mako's eyes widened in shock at that.
"And now for our big finale Mako! I activate Thumpback's special ability in the graveyard! By banishing him, Prism Break is allowed to attack without any of your cards activating, and gains 1000 points!" Cassie called.
Prism Break: (ATK: 2700 + 1000 = 3700)
"Then, that means..." Mako started in shock.
"Yeah." Cassie smiled walking over to him standing in front of him, "Even the best kinds of shows must end, and great matches like this here Mako. You were an amazing duelist, and I want to duel you again sometime if that's okay."
"I'd be glad to." Mako smiled.
Cassie smiled before calling, "Prism Break give the hero of the deep a good send off!"
At that Prism Break fired a beam from his crystal hands encasing Fisherman III in a green crystal before Prism Break charged shattering the crystal in a barrage of fireworks awing everyone.
Cassie: 3000
Mako: 0000
Cassie wins the duel!
"That was amazing." Yugi smiled.
"Whoa, I take it back, it's actually fun." the brown-haired boy admitted with a smile.
Cassie looked up at Kaiba, "So Mr. Kaiba, what do you think?"
"One duel isn't enough to impress me." he answered despite having a small smirk on his face as the screen turned off.
"Guess that's his way of saying great job." Cassie grinned before walking to Riley, "Did I do good out there Riri, or what?"
Riley was looking down with tears falling from her eyes.
"Riley?" Cassie asked instantly concerned for her girlfriend knelling in front of her, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry Cassie... I'm so sorry..." Riley choked out weakly. "I think we failed... Yuya is... Yuya..."
"Hey, hey, it's okay." Cassie said hugging her close.
Riley embraced and started crying. Cassie kissed her comforting her. Riley just kept shaking. "Cassie... what if Yuya's dead?"
"Don't worry, Yuya won't go down without a fight." Cassie told her with a smile.
Riley just started to cry again.
"We can keep going. I feel he's still alive." Cassie said to her taking her hands.
Riley nodded weakly at that.
"Don't mean to spoil the moment." Mako said behind her as they turned as he handed something, "Here Cassie. Your prize."
Cassie blinked grabbing a Locator Card from Mako along with Fortress Whale, and it's Ritual Spell, "Fortress Whale? Your giving it to me? But why?"
"Battle City rules state that you have to give your opponent your rarest card when you lose." Mako answered with a smile, "I know Fortress Whale will do you good in the future."
He walked off as Cassie stared off before smiling, 'I'll give Fortress Whale back to you one-day Mako.'
Meanwhile...
"Roland!" Kaiba said as he, and Mokuba walked in a room.
"Sir?" asked a man in a suit.
"I want you to examine this video backwards, and forwards. I want some Synchro, and Xyz Monsters created to give out to everyone during the Battle City." Kaiba said handing him a tablet.
"Seto, Kaibacorp can't create cards. Only Industrial Illusions can do that." Mokuba pointed out.
"Roland knows what I meant by create." Kaiba told him.
Roland just nodded.
Ulrich362: Well Cassie won, but the clock is ticking for Yuya... or is it already too late?
bopdog111: Not by what we saw last chapter.
Ulrich362: You mean two chapters ago, and that's what I meant. I think Yuya is already gone.
bopdog111: Either that or what looked like possession.
Ulrich362: Well... in either case it's bad. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
