Gold: 8000
Puppet Master: 8000
"Its time to end your rain of terror Puppet Master." Gold clenched his fist.
"I hope to see you try. But I won't be the one dueling."
"What do you mean?"
"I guess I should show you." Puppet Master reached into his cloak and pulled out a straw doll. "Let's see if I can't mess with your mind." Puppet Master jumped onto the roof. He threw down the doll, and a cloud of smoke engulfed the area. When it cleared, Sunset was standing in front of Gold with Puppet Master's duel disk on her arm.
"Sunset?"
"What am I doing here?" Sunset was freaking out.
"This is my ultimate trick. Your dear Sunset will be the one battling you with my deck." Puppet Master lifted up his arms and Sunset was forced to do the same. "Now let's begin."
"But I can't fight her. I care about her," said a defeated Gold.
"Gold." Gold looked up at Sunset. "Don't worry about me. Just beat this creep. I know you can."
Gold snapped out of his funk, and gave Puppet Master a death glare. "Its time I rose to the occasion! I draw!" Gold drew his first card. "First I summon Crimson Armor Master." Armor Master appeared. "Then I activate Crimson Brotherhood. This lets me summon out another Crimson monster. I summon out Crimson Magician." Magician appeared. "Next I place two cards face down to end my turn."
"Starting strong, just like a fool would. Draw." Sunset drew the card. "Perfect. I summon out Fallen Angel #1 in Attack mode." A humanoid women in tattered white robes, wings with feathers missing and sharp claws. "And thanks to her I can summon out Fallen Angels #2 and #3." Two more creatures like the first appeared. "And now I activate Fallen Feather Fusion. This lets me fusion summon a Fallen Angel monster using monsters I control. So by sending my three Angels to the graveyard, I can summon out Fallen Angel King." The three monster were destroyed and the ground started to shake. The ground in front of the pair began to crack. A giant hand reached out and broke the earth. Then a giant humanoid appeared. It wore tarnished, rusted armor, a crown of bones, and it had only three feathers on each wing.
"That's one big monster," said Silver.
"And now his attack will double for each card used to summon it. Now its true power will be unleashed!"
Fallen Angel King: 32000
"32000...."
"And each one is directed at you. Hand of Dark Destruction!" Fallen Angel King wrapped his fist in dark energy.

Show: 1800
Veenus: 600
Fang: 1200
Ace: 200
Trixie: 4000
Adagio: 3700
Aria: 2000
Sonata: 2200
It wasn't looking good for Show, Veenus, Fang, and Ace. The only two with monster were Show, Perfromalpal Silver Claw, and Ace, Arcanite Magician.
Trixie had Number 83: Galaxy Queen, Adagio had Number 80: Rhaposdy in Beserk, Aria had Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser, and Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark. Sonata had just ended her turn after attacking Ace. "You boys are so easy."
"Man, we're getting our buts handed to us," said Show.
"Yeah, and we barely have any monsters," said Veenus.
"It's not looking good for us," said Fang.
"We are gonna need a lot of luck this turn," said Ace.
"Then let's start off this lucky round," said Show. A card started to glow in his extra deck. Show took it out and saw a Number Card. "Time to get this show started. First I play Level Equalizer. By sending a level 7 monster to the graveyard. All monsters on my field, and any monsters I summon this turn, become level 7. I summon out Performapal Sleet Skimmer. Then I activate Double Summon to summon out Performapal Whip Snake. Now I overlay my three Performapals to build the Overlay Network." The three monsters turned into yellow lights that went through a portal. "I Xyz summon Number 7: Lucky Straight!" A striped tube descended from the sky. It began to spin until it unraveled. A monster that looked like jester stood before th group. It held a staff with a 7 on the end.
"Hello ladies," he said.
"Now then, two six sided die are rolled. Then Lucky Straight gets attack points equal to the higher of the two rolls." A yellow and blue die appeared above Show. Each one began to spin. A few seconds later the two dice stopped. "And the two numbers are 5 and 2. Which means Lucky gets 3500 extra attack. Boosting him to 4200. And since the two numbers equal 7, I can get rid of all monsters on the field."
"Its curtains for your mind control." Black chains appeared around the girls Numbers. Lucky destroyed the chains then wiped the field clean. "I don't think they'll be getting an encore."
"Now Lucky, attack Trixie directly!" Lucky charged up his staff and struck Trixie.
Trixie: 0
"I end my turn." Show turned to the others. "I think you guys can give this duel the ending it deserves."
"Right." Veenus drew his card. His extra deck began to glow. "I activate Sunlight Revival. This card allows me to send two cards to the graveyard, and special summon two plant types. So I summon back two Revival Roses. Now I use them to build the overlay network." The two plants turned into purple lights that went through a portal." I Xyz summon Number 50: Blackship of Corn!" A giant ship with a 50 on its sail arrived on the field. "Then I activate Fertilized Soil to double my Ship's attack to 4200. Attack!" Blackmail fired off sets of cannons at Adagio.
Adagio: 0
"Your up Fang."
"Thanks." Fang drew his card. His extra deck glowed. "I think I'll skip the summoning and just get to the overlay." Two cards in Fang's hand turned into purple lights. "I Xyz summon Number 14: Greedy Sarameya." I fiery cerberus jumped onto the field. The number 14 was on its hind leg. "Now attack, Fire of Greed." Sarameya sent out a blast of flames at Aria.
Aria: 0
"Time to finish this Ace."
"You got it." Ace drew his card. "I overlay two of my Legendary Knights in my hand to build the overlay network." The two cards turned into yellow lights that went through a portal. "I Xyz summon Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy!" A creature descended from the sky. It had white armor and silvery wings. The number 38 was on its left shoulder.
"Let's finish this."
"Harbinger attack. Hope Galaxy Blast!" Harbinger fired a beam of stars.
Sonata: 0
Trixie rubbed her head. "What happened?"
"Feels like I was just on a rollercoaster," said Adagio.
Veenus walked up and pulled Adagio up. "Glad to have you back beautiful."
"I hope I'm not dreaming."
Aria walked up to Fang. "Thanks."
"No problem."
"I've been meaning to ask, how are you able to do those puppy dog eyes so well?"
"Well.." Fang removed his hood to reveal his wolf ears. "Ta da."
Aria smiled. "Good boy." She scratched Fang behind the ear, and his foot went like crazy.
Sonata ran up and wrapped Ace in a hug. "Thank you Ace."
"No problem... Losing vision."
"Whoops, sorry." Sonata eased up and Ace returned the hug.
Show stuck his hand out to Trixie. "The name's Show Time. I've heard you have some tricks up your sleeve."
Trixie turned away. "You not going to sweet talk me."
"Well we are the only two left." Show chuckled while Trixie was blushing.
There was a sudden explosion next to the stage. "What was that?"
"Let's go check it out."
The group ran over to see the commotion. Burst and Inferno were on there knees as two monster stood before them. Number 96 and Number 87.
Burst: 100
Inferno: 100
Ice: 3500
Nightmare: 3000
"Stay down," said Ice. "There is no sense in getting up."
"What's the fun in that?" joked Burst. He pushed himself up with Inferno behind him. "We will always duel to the very end. I draw." Burst drew his card. "I summon out Lord of Dragons. Then I activate Flute of Summoning Dragons. To bring out Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon." The two legendary dragons descended to the field.
"Summon as many monsters as you want," said Nightmare. "You can't destroy our Numbers. Just forfeit the duel and join us."
"We will never join the likes of you," said Inferno. He drew his next card. "I activate my own Flute of Summoning Dragons to bring out another Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes." Another set of dragons descended. The two looked at their extra decks to see them glowing. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Let's fight fire with fire."
"Together we overlay our dragons to build two overlay units." Red-Eyes went through one portal, and Blue-Eyes another.
"I Xyz summon Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!" exclaimed Burst. A dragon with black and red, metallic skin descended. The number 107 was on its head.
"Time for the galaxy to rain down on evil."
"I Xyz summon Number 74: Master of Blades!" A warrior wielding multiple blades appeared. The number 74 was on his helmet.
"You will feel the power of my blades."
"I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back Blue-Eyes." Blue-Eyes entered the duel. Then I use one Overlay Unit to negate your monsters' effects and reset there Atk and Def." Yachting released of wave of energy that reset the two monsters.
"Now it's time to end this. Full Arsenal Onslaught!" All the monster combined their attacks to take out bothered Numbers.
Ice: 0
Nightmare: 0
Dark Mist was still standing after the blast. "My master will hear about this." He vanished.
Ice rubbed his head. "Anyone get the number of that truck?"
Ace walked up to Ice. "You got hit by a lot more then a truck." Ace pulled Ice to his feet. "Glad to have you back bro."
Ice smiled. "Good to be back." Ice turned to the empty amphitheater. "Wasn't there a full house here?"
"The audience ran for it once the dueling got under way," said Burst. He was helping Inferno get Nightmare to her feet. "Do you know who you are?"
"Somewhat. My memory is a little foggy."
"Classic amnesia," said Inferno. "My dad had it once. Forgot how to sing for a full week."
"That doesn't seem that bad," said Nightmare.
"Oh really." Inferno pulled out his phone and brought up a video. Then, all anyone heard was worse then nails on a chalk board.
"I rather listen to nails on a chalk board," said Burst.
The girls had arrived once everything was cleared up. "Seems like you guys handled it," said Rainbow.
"Yeah." Burst looked around. "Where's Sunset?"
AJ looked around. "She was with us a minute ago."
"AHHHH!"
"That sounded like Sunset," said Fluttershy.
"And it came from the school," said Pinkie.
The group ran to the school to see what the cause was. They were not greeted with a peaceful sight. Fallen Angel King stood above a giant crater in the ground. At the bottom of the crater was Gold, and he was worse for ware. Sunset was covering her mouth with her hands, and tears were running down her face. Puppet Master gave off a dark laugh. "This is the end of you Rise."
Gold: 0
Puppet Master: 8000
"Time for your soul to be sent to the shadows."
"NO!" A swirl of dark energy appeared in front of Puppet Master.
"Dark Emperor, what are you doing here?"
"You went against my orders. I just said to get control of his friends. You were never supposed to battle him." Dark Emperor snapped his fingers and the dueling field returned to normal, but Gold was still down. "This is an act of treason."
"No, no, no. I was never going against you." Puppet Master began to choke.
"There is no room for defiance in my kingdom." The two disappeared.
Sunset was released and she ran to Gold. She embarrassed him as tears fell to the ground. "Please be ok."
"Fluttershy, call an ambulance," said Burst. He placed a hand on Gold's shoulder. "Your going to be ok."
---------------------
Puppet Master was thrown to the ground as he tried to back away. "Please sir. I will make it up to you."
"A liar has no place in my ranks." Dark Emperor opened a portal into the Shadow Realm. "Now you will spend eternity in the shadows." He grabbed Puppet Master by the throat and threw him in. Dark Emperor walked up to his thrown. "Time for operation Shadow Crystal." He released a good amount of energy. "This should intrigue one particular person."
-------------------
Twilight's sensors were going off. She removed a piece of paper that was tied to a wave length machine. "These readings are off the charts. Just what is happening at that school?"
