bopdog111: Yup.
Ulrich362: 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 was a few hours after Kaiba defeated Joey and Cassie and Riley were in their room together. Cassie was holding Riley. Riley was frowning. "I'm scared."
"It's gonna be okay Riley. Just believe in me." Cassie smiled to her.
"I do... but those god cards... they're dangerous." Riley admitted.
"I know." Cassie said hugging her close.
Riley hugged her back. Cassie gently pulled her where Riley lays her head on her making her smile before suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Cassandra Sakaki, we're approaching Kaibaccorp Island. Gather your cards and prepare to exit the blimp." mentioned a male voice.
Hearing that Cassie softly got Riley off as Riley pouted slightly before taking a breath. "At least we'll be on the ground."
"We can do more." Cassie smiled to her.
She nodded with a smile before they joined the others and got off of the blimp only to see an island covered in rubble with a massive tower standing over everything else.
"Looks abandoned." Cassie admitted.
"It is." Kaiba told her. "This island used to a military base used by my stepfather, now it's the location of the Battle City finals, the top of that tower."
"Military Base..." Cassie said frowning, "I don't want to know what would happen if somehow he joined the Fusion Dimension."
"You don't have to worry about that, he's long dead." Kaiba told her before walking into the tower.
They walked in after him as Cassie held Riley close.
"Will the four finalists please step forward so I can explain the rest of the finals." Roland requested calmly.
Cassie kissed Riley before walking forward with Marik, Yami, and Kaiba.
"In order to determine who faces who in the semi-finals a special match must be performed first." Roland explained. "Surrounding this room are four doors, each finalist will enter one of the doors and then I will explain the rules for this match."
They looked before walking to those doors. A few minutes later they were all standing on elevators with a slot for them to connect their Duel Disk.
"For this special match all four duelists will compete at the same time. None of you may declare an attack until everyone has had a turn, and the first two duelists to lose all of their life points will face each other in the first semi-final duel." Roland announced. "At any time you may attack or defend any of the other three duelists participating in this match."
'Simple enough.' Cassie thought connecting her Duel Disk.
"There's one more detail, in order to determine the turn order each duelist must select and reveal one Monster from their decks, the strongest monster will go first and the weakest will go last." Roland mentioned. "However, the monster you reveal will not be permitted to be used in the duel so choose wisely. Also, this duel will not be utilizing the Action Fields from previous matches."
"Makes sense as we're on elevators." Yami admitted looking around.
Cassie at that searched over her Deck, 'How am I gonna choose which monster to not use? This is tough to decide if I can't use it. Wait...'
Seeing the card she won from Mako in her Deck she looked before deciding, 'Okay Mako... This is for you.'
Mokuba walked over to Riley. "Are you going to be ok, the semifinals and the finals are on top of the tower after all."
"Duelists, reveal your cards." Roland stated.
Cassie at that reveals what she's giving up is Fortress Whale; 2350 ATK.
"Y-Yes." Riley nodded to him, "As long as Cassie's okay."
Kaiba revealed Masked Beast Des Gardius; 3300 attack points, Yami revealed Feral Imp; 1300 attack points, and Yami Marik revealed Lekunga; 1700 attack points.
"Understood, the turn order will be Seto Kaiba, Cassandra Sakaki, Marik Ishtar, and finally Yugi Muto." Roland announced. "Duelists, you may now begin."
"DUEL!"

"With this card on the field monsters of a card type, I declare can't attack!" Yami called as chains ensnared Vorse Raider.
Cassie told him, "Yugi you didn't need to do that."
"But I want to help you Cassie. Kaiba only wants to face me in the finals so he will get you, and Marik out of the way first." Yami told her with a smile.
Cassie smiled but said, "Well, I'd appreciate your concern but I don't need it. Counter Trap, Magic of the Portal Master!"

If a "Skylander" monster should be destroyed; banish this card from your GY instead. You can only activate 1 "Magic of the Portal Master" per turn.
"Regulation's effect is negated!" Cassie called as Yami's trap shattered, "Then all players who's monster that has an Attribute that is different from Chill's loses 500 points! Chill's Attribute is Water, and as Vorse Raider, and Skilled Dark Magician along with Marik's face-down monster isn't treated as Water you three lose 500 points!"

The elevators rose as Cassie suddenly yelped, "W-Whoa!"
"As we lose life points our elevators rise to the top of the tower." Kaiba explained. "Plus since you negated Yugi's Regulation of Tribe my Vorse Raider's attack continues."
Vorse Raider continued charging as Cassie called, "It's not the only thing I'm stopping! By banishing Magic of the Portal Master so will Chill's destruction!"
Chill blocked the attack with her shield as Cassie grunted from the force. (Cassie: 3300)

"Indeed like this!" Cassie called as Shroomboom turned to 1 star with Chop Chop, and Chill turned to 3, and 4 stars respectfully.
(LV: 1 + 3 + 4 = 8)

Yami Marik smirked. "If we're all done reinforcing our fields, Drillago was attacking Yugi directly."
"Impossible! I have Skilled Dark Magician!" Yami Yugi reminded him.
"True, however since your only card is the 1900 attack points Skilled Dark Magician Drillago's special ability allows it to attack you directly." Yami Marik revealed.
Drillago charged taking a swipe at Yami Yugi making him grunt. (Yami Yugi: 1900)

Hot Dog shot a fireball from the portal. Yami Marik grunted from the fireball.
(Yami Marik: 3500)
He rose up a little.
"Then as Flashwing gone to the graveyard, I take Chop Chop back to my hand!" Cassie added showing the card, "Then since Chompy Mage was destroyed he goes to my Pendulum Zone!"
Chompy Mage rose up at that.
"Maybe, but he isn't on your field which means Yugi can still attack you directly." Kaiba reminded her.
Yami Yugi however looks conflicted on who to attack, 'Who should I attack? I can attack Marik which allows me to knock him out faster, but I gotta settle things with Kaiba, and Cassie needs to keep going. How can I choose?'
"Yugi!" he turned to Cassie who told him, "Don't you dare hold back on me! I chose to enter this battle to help my brother, and no matter what I can take whatever goes at me! So please don't give me an easy road!"
Hearing that Yami Yugi stared before nodding, "Magician Girl attack Cassie directly!"
At that the Magician smacked her staff on Cassie causing her to grunt. (Cassie: 1300)
She rose up higher.
'Perfect, now I just have to make sure Marik and Cassandra both lose this duel.' Kaiba thought with a smirk.

Seeing Yami Yugi about to activate his face-down Cassie called, "Keep your card Yugi!"
"Huh?" Yami Yugi looked up at her.
She only smiled nodding, "I appreciate your concern but please keep the cards to defend yourself. Besides due to Chompy Mage's Pendulum Ability monsters on my field that are a different Attribute then 1 other monster can't be effected to effects that destroy a card!"
"What?" Kaiba questioned in shock.
The trap proved not effected on Bouncer who aimed at Kaiba firing. Kaiba winced from the blast.
(Kaiba: 1500)
"Oh no, Seto!" Mokuba cried.
"And then as Bouncer dealt damage from battle Marik takes 300 points of damage for each card on the field!" Cassie called to them, "I have 3 cards while Yugi has 2 cards!"
"And since Kaiba also has two facedown cards that's 2100 points of damage." Yami smiled. "Amazing move."
Bouncer fired a blast at Yami Marik striking him.
(Yami Marik: 0000)
"You have my attention little girl, I'll deal with you shortly." Yami Marik told her as his elevator went to the top of the tower.
'Okay he's out of the way.' Cassie thought before looking at the card she drawn, 'Riley... You had Declan made this for me? Well thank ya!' "Since there's a Skylander on my field, I can summon C/C Love Eye!"

"As long as one of the monsters I use is either Dark Magician, or Dark Magician Girl, I can either Fusion Summon or Ritual Summon!" Yami Yugi revealed.
"What? Fusion Summon, or Ritual Summon?" Cassie asked shocked.
Kaiba's eyes widened in horror. 'No, this can't be happening!'
"I fuse together my two Dark Magicians!" Yami Yugi called as the two fused.
"Arcane Sorcerers of Dark Magic embrace the Arcane Arts! Join together to form into the mightiest duo for the Secrets of the Arcane Arts! Fusion Summon! Level 8, The Dark Magicians!"

"Yugi has a card that fits both Ritual, and Fusion?" Cassie asked shocked before turning to her Duel Disk, "Are you seeing this Ri?"
"Yeah, wow." Riley said in awe.
Cassie grunted, "Well despite that, I won't be off guard long! Skylander Party's effect kicks in so now me, and Kaiba can summon a monster from our Decks who's attack points are equal or lower then your Fusion Monster, Yugi!"
Kaiba's eyes widened. "I summon Z-Metal Tank in defense mode."

"So now Dark Magicians gains these effects with two Dark Magicians, and Dark Magician Girl in the graveyard! First it gains 1000 attack points!" Yami Yugi called as it powered up.
The Dark Magicians: (ATK: 2800 + 1000 = 3800)
"Then you two can't use effects against my Spells or Traps, or destroy them this turn!" Yami Yugi called, "Finally Dark Spellcasters on my field can't be effected to both of your effects this turn!"
A barrier erected on the Fusion Monster.
"That's insane!" Mokuba cried in disbelief.
Yami Yugi eyed a card in his hand which is De-Fusion, 'Cassie sorry but I have a rivalry to settle with Kaiba.' "Dark Magicians attack Bouncer with Arcane Magic Attack!"
The Fusion Monster attacked Bouncer as Cassie grunted crying out, "W-With Love Eye's effect damage is halved while Bouncer can't be destroyed once a turn!"
Bouncer revealed to still be standing. (Cassie: 0400)
"Well now, I activate the Spell, De-Fusion!" Yami Yugi revealed.
De-Fusion
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 Fusion Monster on the field; return that target to the Extra Deck, then, if all the Fusion Materials that were used for its Fusion Summon are in your GY, you can Special Summon all of them.
"De-Fusion?" Cassie asked never hearing of that card.
"It separates his Fusion Monster into the monsters he used to play it." Kaiba told her.
The Fusion split showing the two Spellcasters standing tall. Riley shuddered in fear seeing them. Cassie grunted before Yami Yugi called, "And now Dark Magician attack Bouncer with Dark Magic Attack!"
The first charged an attack destroying Bouncer as Cassie grunted. (Cassie: 0150)
"Well destroying Bouncer allows me to do this!" Cassie called as a bomb appeared.
"What is that?" Kaiba questioned.
"With Bouncer destroyed by the attack of a monster by my opponent, I can deal one of you damage equal to the attack points Bouncer had while on the field!" Cassie revealed.
"Wait, but that would mean..." Mokuba started nervously.
"Cassie can pick who loses." Riley realized.
Cassie looks at the two wondering who to give the damage too, 'Who? Their both dueling Marik next, and knowing him he'll gleefully torture them! Maybe Yugi cause of his strong abilities for Dark Magician? Or... Kaiba who evolved his Deck with Synchro, and Xyz? Oh, I can't decide!'
She grabbed her head at this.
"Cassie!" Riley cried seeing that.
"I think she needs help deciding who to take down." Mokuba mentioned to her.
Riley frowned before putting a hand over her heart. 'Cassie.'
Cassie looked at the two again trying to pick who to choose who faces Yami Marik but can't decide before grunting, 'I hope I don't regret this!' "I... I pick Kaiba!"
The bomb at that hurled to Kaiba. Kaiba braced himself as the blast hit.
Kaiba: 0000
Cassie: 0150
Yami Marik: 0000
Yami Yugi: 1900
Cassie, and Yami Yugi wins the duel!
"The semi-final matches have been decided, the first duel will be Marik Ishtar vs Seto Kaiba, and the second match will be Yugi Muto vs Cassandra Sakaki." Roland stated before Yugi and Cassie's elevator's shot up quickly.
"Whoa!" Cassie screamed surprised at the acceleration.
Mokuba turned to Riley. "Come on, there's a special elevator we can take to join them."
Riley nodded as they walked. When they arrived Cassie turned to Yami, "Yugi... It was a really tough choice who to pick."
"I understand." Yami nodded as Riley and Mokuba arrived and Riley ran to Cassie before embracing her.
Cassie hugged her back.
Ulrich362: Cassie made a tough choice, can Kaiba take down Marik and his Winged Dragon of Ra?

Ulrich362: Agreed, see you in the next chapter.
