"The next duel is about to be decided!", Kaiba announced. The duel randomizer scrolled through the remaining duelists, and landed on Scorpan against Inferno! "Duelists! Report to the dueling ring!" Inferno and Scorpan made their way to the dueling ring, and activated their duel disks!
Inferno: 8000
Scorpan: 8000
"Forgive me, but I must defeat you.", Scorpan said. "I summon Winged Kuriboh and activate the spell card Court of Justice! Since I have a level one fairy-type monster on my field, I can special summon a fairy-type monster from my hand! I special summon Archlord Kristya! Now neither of us can special summon monsters! Then I'll set a card and end my turn."
"I draw! I'll discard a card to activate Twin Twisters! This lets me destroy two spell or trap cards on your field! I'll get rid of Court of Justice and set two cards! I end my turn."
"My move." Scorpan drew his next card. "I discard Zeradias, Herald of Heaven to add 'The Sanctuary in the Sky to my hand! Then I'll activate it! Since I have a fairy-type monster on my field, I take no battle damage! And since Kristya is still on the field, I take no battle damage! Now I'll attack you directly with Kristya!"
"I don't think so! I activate my trap! Mirror Force! This destroys all attack position monsters you control!"
"I think not! I activate Divine Punishment! This destroys Mirror Force!"
"Maybe, but I've got more than one trap! I activate Drowning Mirror Force! This returns all attack mode monsters on your field to your deck!" A wave washed over Scorpan's field! Washing away his monsters!
"I end my turn.", Scorpan said with a defeated sigh.
"I draw! Yeah! I play Red-Eyes Fusion to send Summoned Skull and Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my deck to the graveyard! I fusion summon Black Skull Dragon! Then I'll summon Black Stone of Legend! I'll tribute him to special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my deck! Now I'll attack you directly with both of my monsters! Inferno Fire Blast!" Scorpan cringed as the flames incinerated his life points! "And now Black Skull's effect activates! Since damage calculation was done, I can target a 'Red-Eyes' normal monster in my graveyard and inflict its attack as damage! Then that monster's shuffled back into my deck!" Another blast of flame licked away at Scorpan's life points! "I end my turn. Looks like your sanctuary isn't so safe after all." Inferno then walked over to Scorpan and shook his hand. "Don't worry. One of us will beat Tirek." Scorpan was shocked!
"What?! How did you know?"
"We and our monsters got a bad vibe from him and the three monsters that're bonded with him."
"Then I shall explain where this sad tale began. But first we must see if my brother can be stopped early." Inferno nodded as he and Scorpan went inside.
