//------------------------------// // Sophomore Year: Duel 4 // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 0 // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Looks like the next duel is...Sunset vs Flash?!", Burst nearly screamed. "Oh boy. THIS is gonna cause a serious rough patch if either one of them beats the other." "Hope they don't break up after this.", Inferno said nervously. But as the two took the field, Flash put his hand over his deck! "Wait...no way! He isn't-!" "He is.", Steel said with a frown. "Flash just forfeited the duel." "WHAT?!", Rainbow Dash shouted. "But why would he do something like that?" "Maybe he doesn't want to hurt Sunset?", Burst suggested. Luna then made the announcement. "Sunset wins the match by forfeit! The last round is Arctic Ace versus Goldenrise!" Both Gold and Ace took the field next. "Hope you weren't hoping for me to forfeit.", Ace said jokingly as he activated his duel disk. "You kidding? I was hoping for a good duel!", Gold said as he activated his duel disk. "Let's duel!" Ace: 4000 Gold: 4000 "I got the first move!", Ace said. 'Not a bad start! Time to see what my spellcasters can do!' "I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior! When he's summoned I can put one spell counter on him to have him gain 300 attack points! Then I'll set two cards and end my turn." "My turn.", Gold said as he drew a card. "I summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn!" "If that's the case, I'll attack!" Breaker slashed at Gold's monster, but its attack bounced back! "Oh man! That thing's gotta have high defense! I end my turn." "My move then! I play The Melody of Awakening Dragon! This lets me add two dragons with 3000 or more attack and 2500 or less defense to my hand! Now I'll switch Keeper of the Shrine to attack mode! Now I can treat him as two tributes for a dragon-type monster! Now I'll tribute him to bring out Crimson Dragon!" A dragon that looked similar to Blue Eyes descended! It had dark red scales and crystal wings! 'No wonder Dad said this card was strong! It looks almost exactly like Blue-Eyes! Let's see what you can do Crimson!' "Now I can target and destroy one monster you control!" A bolt of plasma destroyed Breaker! "Now he gains attack points equal to your monster's attack! Attack him directly! Crimson Plasma Arc!" "Not so fast! I activate my trap! Negate Attack! This'll stop your attack cold!" "Not bad. I end my turn." "Alright! I draw!", Ace said as he drew his next card. "Nice! I summon Berry Magician Girl! When she's summoned I can add a Magician Girl monster from my deck to my hand! Next I'll play Magical Dimension! I tribute Berry Magician Girl to bring out Dark Magician Girl! And now Magical Dimension's other effect goes off! I can destroy one monster on the field! So much for your Crimson Dragon!" A bolt of magic struck down Crimson Dragon! "Attack him directly DMG! Dark Burning Attack!" Gold braced himself as a blast of magic struck him directly! "That's it for my move. I end my turn." Ace: 4000 Gold: 2000 "Good move. My turn! I draw! I play Return of the Dragon Lords to bring back Crimson Dragon! I'll attack Dark Magician Girl! Crimson Plasma Arc!" DMG was destroyed in a blast of plasma! "Then I'll set two cards and end my turn." Ace: 1100 Gold: 2000 "My turn! I draw!". 'Man! Crimson's effect is devastating! Good thing it can only be activated when he's summoned! But now I can duel him dragon-to-dragon!' Ace looked at the card he drew "Nice! First I play Dark Magic Veil! This revives DMG from my graveyard! Now that she's on the field, I activate the Eye of Timaeus! I'll fuse it with DMG to summon Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight! Now I play Twin Twisters! I'll discard a card to destroy two spell/trap cards on the field!" A twister blew away Gold's face-downs! "Nest I'll activate DMG the Dragon Knight's effect! I'll discard a card to destroy one monster on the field!" "I don't think so! I banish Return of the Dragon Lords from my graveyard to save Crimson Dragon!" DMG Dragon Knight's effect was deflected!" "I end my turn.", Ace said. "I draw! First I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your other face-down card! Now I'll attack your monster!" A plasma blast wiped out DMG the Dragon Knight and wiped out the last of Ace's life points! "Good duel Ace." "Thanks Gold. Now it's down to you and the other duelists in the finals.", Ace said with a smile.
