"Time for the next duel! And the duelists are: Ace and Sunset Shimmer!", Kaiba announced.
Ace: 8000
Sunset: 8000
"Might as well start out strong!", Ace said, "I summon Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode and end my turn!"
Sunset smiled, "If that's the case, I play Hand Destruction to discard two cards from my hand and draw two new ones! Now I banish the two monsters I sent to the graveyard to special summon BLS! Next I'll put an equip spell on him. Attack his monster with genesis slash! Now his effect activates! Since I destroyed your monster by battle, he can attack again!" BLS shield-bashed Ace's monster, and slashed at his life points directly!
Ace: 3900
Sunset: 8000
"My move then!", Ace said, "I play Cost Down and discard a card to lower the levels of all monsters in my hand by two! Now I summon Dark Magician Skill! Next I play Dark Magic Expanded to boost her by 1000 points! They might take each other out, but at least the field will be even! That's it for my turn"
"Actually, BLS isn't going anywhere! The equip spell I put on him activates since the turn's over! It revives him from the graveyard! Also, I special summon Guardian Eatos since I have no monsters in my graveyard! Now I play Double Summon to bring out Giant Sentry of Stone and Vylon Prism! Now I tune them to synchro summon Stardust Dragon! All of you, attack him directly!" All three of Sunset's monsters released beams of energy that collided into Ace's life points!
Ace: lose
Sunset: 8000, win
"Good duel Ace! But why didn't you use more spells or traps?"
"I got stuck with only monsters in my first hand. Go figure!", Ace said with a small smile, "Hope you do well in the finals!"
"Thanks!" 'Maybe I'll even get my shot at facing Burst!', Sunset thought with a smile.
