//------------------------------// // Trial of the Dragons // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EG: Neo W.R.P.G U.S. Selection Arc // by foxmaster //------------------------------// Silver woke up excited to squeeze in some practice before the next leg begins next week. After doing his daily routine of getting ready Silver left for the Dining Room to meet Ratchet. Ratchet along with Silver’s parents were talking among themselves until they noticed Silver enter the room. “ Silver how come you never told me your mom was Ruby Style?” Ratchet asked. “ Because she is usually overseas meeting with clients,” Silver replied. “ I heard about your heroic actions against those thugs and rushed back here as fast as i could to see if your ok,” Ruby said still worried about Silver’s well being. “ Mom that was a few weeks ago and I can assure you me and my teammates are back on our feet and much stronger than ever,” Silver replied showing her his element of courage. Sunset recently told Silver and his team that Princess Twilight looked into the reason her magic chose them and manifested into new elements of harmony. Silver was chosen for his bravery and willingness to put his life on the line for others thus granting him the Element of Courage. Lyra was chosen for her ability to solve what her opponent’s strategies could be thus granting her the Element of Wisdom. And Lastly Lightning was chosen for her strong heart and her ability to push through no matter how dangerous the opponent was thus granting her the Element of Power. Ruby was not convinced even though Bullet assured her what he saw was without a doubt real. Before Silver’s parents started an argument the phone rang and Bullet answered it. “ Hello Silver Residence,” Bullet said. “ Hi Bullet this is Blueblood is your son home i have something i want to talk to him about,” Blueblood replied. “ Sure one sec,” Bullet replied and then gave the phone to Silver. ” Hello?” Silver asked. “ Silver i manage to make a breakthrough in my latest project and i would like for you to see it,” Blueblood replied excited about his new invention. “ Sure I will be there,” Silver replied. “ Great oh but first i must send my intern to your place to set up the other end of it is that ok?” “ One sec,” Silver replied. Silver told his father about Blueblood’s new invention and asked if it was ok for his intern to come by and set one end of it up here. Bullet told him it was ok for them to use the Solid Vision Room for that since when its not turned on its just an empty room. Silver got back on the phone with Blueblood. “ Dad says it's ok we even discussed the perfect spot to test it,” Silver said. “ Great she should be there any minute now,” Blueblood replied. “ See you soon bye,” Silver said and then hung up. Silver got back just in time to prevent his parents from fighting. Silver told his mom magic is kind of hard to explain and to just trust him on this. Ruby was a bit reluctant but knew her son would never lie to her so she agreed to put her belief aside for now. Just as Silver finished his breakfast the doorbell rang. The butler answered the door and told Silver Sci-Twi was here to see him. Silver left the Dining Room to meet with her. “ Twilight what brings you here?” Silver asked. “ Mr. Blueblood sent me here,” Sci-Twi replied. “ Wait your the intern Blueblood was talking about?” Silver asked. “ Yep after seeing my latest invention Blueblood offered me a part-time job working for his company’s Tech department,” Sci-Twi replied with a lot of excitement. “ Congrats that’s a huge opportunity,” Silver said while he escorted Sci-Twi and the box of parts she had to The Solid Vision Room. “ My father figured this place would do nicely since it's an empty room when deactivated,” Silver said. “ He is right to have us use an empty room since the gravitational force might suck everything in if something goes wrong,” Sci-Twi replied. “ By the way what is this invention of Blueblood’s?” Silver asked. “ I'm glad you asked since your duel with Mr. Blueblood he has been inspired to create a transwarp gateway basically the idea is to use the principles the Alcubierre drive or Alcubierre warp drive (or Alcubierre metric, referring to metric tensor) is a speculative idea based on a solution of Einstein's field equations in general relativity as proposed by Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre, by which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light … ,” Sci-Twi said even though she lost Silver already. “ In English?” Silver asked. “ What Twilight means is this new invention is designed to teleport you between two points,” ratchet translated. “ oh ok wait how did you know that?” Silver asked. “ I actually saw something like this back in Maine they called it a ground bridge,” Ratchet replied. Sci-Twi went on about how this device worked and how if this experiment was a success Blueblood Corp will have solved part of the energy crisis meaning less smog and less traffic. Silver was impressed with this idea while checking his watch and told everyone he had to get going. Sci-Twi knew where Silver was going and told him she would radio him when her end was ready. As Silver was leaving Lyra and Lightning came in. Silver explained to them where he was going and told them he would see them soon. Silver arrived at Blueblood Corp and Blueblood showed Silver to the portal he would be going through. As Blueblood explained how it worked the radio on Blueblood’s desk rang. “ Mr. Blueblood we are ready on our end,” Sci-Twi said. “ Acknowledged we are ready on our end too,” Blueblood replied. Blueblood flipped the switch and the portal unleashed a blue energy field. Blueblood warned Silver that there may be some temporary side effects when he reached the other side. Silver knew what he was getting himself into and just went with it. Silver went through and began to feel the turbulence. As the turbulence continued Silver’s Element began to shine and Silver felt like he was being split apart. Silver lost consciousness and was suddenly flung through the other end. Silver suddenly woke up in his room and saw everyone was around him. “ Silver I'm glad you're ok,” Lyra said as she hugged Silver while crying. “ What happened?” Silver asked. “ You came out of the portal unconscious along with another person so we brought both of you here,” Sci-Twi replied while pointing to a girl who looked like a female version of Silver. The girl suddenly woke up and Swi-Twi noticed she also had the Element of Courage around her neck. Sci-Twi theorized that the warp field must have reacted to Silver’s element and caused some kind of magic based cloning. “ I can assure you I am not a clone I am Silver well a part of him anyway,” The girl replied. “ A part of him? What do you mean?” Lyra asked. “ My guess Silver’s personality must have split thus the reason for Ms. Silver being here,” Sci-Twi theorized. “ Ok but what part of Silver is she?” Lyra asked. “ I am the part of him that balances his sense of justice with compassion and mercy without me he would be just as bad as those Skullcrush thugs you took on,” Silver,s twin replied. “ Ok can we call you something else because it's kind of weird calling you by our friend’s name,” Lightning asked. “ How about Blazing Sapphire?” Ruby asked as she entered the room. “ Why?” Lyra asked. “ Because that was the name I would have given Silver if he was a girl,” Ruby replied. Sci-Twi reported her results to Blueblood and he told her to focus on recombining the two Silvers for now and that he will put this project on hold. Sci-Twi theorized that the energy field must have triggered Silver’s Element and manifested a part of Silver he was holding back. Sunset rushed in to check up on Silver and to tell them Princess Twilight sent her instructions for a magic fuser. Sci-Twi suddenly shouted that she just figured out the answer. She explained that since Silver and Sapphire both have the same element and are the same person if they merged both elements Silver and Sapphire would be whole again but generating the amount of power necessary to power the device would require a lot of magic. Sci-Tw called BlueBlood and told him she figured out how to fix the problem and would require the new action field prototype they been working on. Blueblood sent the field to Silver’s console and all that was left was to build the device. Swi-Twi manage to finish building the fuser within the hour and told both Silver and Sapphire to prepare their duel disks. Sci-Twi explained that they were going to use this duel to generate the power needed to power the fuser. Before the duel would start Sci-Twi strapped a Silver wristband like object on both of Silver and Sapphire’s free hands. “ What is this band all about?” Silver asked. “ This band as you call it will harvest the magic your duel will release and transmit it to the fuser which will be sitting in the center of the Action Field,” Sci Twi explained as she turned the device on. The top of the fuser glowed light yellow indicating the charging process as starting. “ Activating the Action Field Planetary Crossroads,” Lyra shouted as she hit the button and the starting field became Mercury Frontier. Both duelist were confused until Sci-Twi told them this was another prototype Action Field that linked nine different Fields together and that each field has a portal that leads to the next. The sound of nine bubbles popping at once echoed through the room as the duel began and both players drew their opening hands. DUEL Silver Chance: 4000 Blazing Sapphire: 4000 “ Ladies first,” Sapphire said as she checked her hand. Sapphire decided it was time to show Silver the true power of his deck. “ First i set the Pendulum Scale with scale three Fusion Magician and scale eight Timegazer Magician,”. A witch dressed in a regal purple dress with a matching witch hat and a cobalt scepter appeared above a stylized one and Timegazer magician appeared above a stylized eight. Sapphire:♦3]___________8♦ “ Now i can summon multiple monsters between the levels of four and seven so i will Pendulum summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Harmonizing Magician and Dragonpulse Magician. Three lights came out of the hole and out of the lights came Odd-Eyes making his usual entrance along with a grown-up version of Tuning Magician and Dragonpulse Magician. Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon LV:7 ATK:2500 Harmonizing Magician LV:4 DEF:0 Dragonpulse Magician LV:4 ATK:1800 “ But I'm not done with my summoning yet when Harmonizing is pendulum summoned from my hand she calls another Magician from my deck in defense mode to join her so please welcome Timebreaker Magician,” Harmonizing Magician stabbed her tuning fork like staff into the blue ground beneath her and created a portal of her own and out of it came Timebreaker Magician kneeling down with his sword in front of him. Timebreaker Magician LV:3 DEF:0 “ Now it's time to show you the power you fear I tune my Level four Harmonizing Magician with my Level three Timebreaker to Synchro Summon a card you cherish all too well,” Harmonizing Magician slammed her tuning fork on the ground and burst into four stars which then turned into four green rings that encircled Timebreaker and turned him into three stars that fell into alignment and created a flash of light. 4 + 3 = 7 “ mighty dragon that speeds through the boundaries of time and space! Rise from the ashes and shine your wings brighter than the sun! Synchro Summon! Roar! Level Seven! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!” Clearwing took flight and landed next to Odd-Eyes and unleashed his roar along with Odd-Eyes. Clear Wing Synchro Dragon LV: 7 ATK: 2500 “ Is that Silver's ace monster why does she have it?” Lyra asked knowing what the answer may be. “ Silver’s deck is a combination of Destruction Sword and Pendulum Magicians right well it looks like both archetypes were divided among the two of them so if Sapphire has the Magicians then it's obvious what Silver has,” Sci Twi explained. “ I end my turn,” Sapphire said as she mounted Clearwing. “ My turn i draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver checked his hand and made his move. “ First i Summon Buster Whelp in attack mode,” Buster Whelp flew down and landed next to Silver though a bit scared of Silver. Buster Whelp LV:1 ATK:400 “ As you may know when i normal summon my Whelp i can add a Destruction Sword card to my hand so i will add Dragon Buster to my hand. Next By tributing my Whelp i can Special Summon Buster Blader from my hand. Silver’s Whelp jumped into a portal and out of it leaped Buster Blader carrying his sword behind his back. Buster Blader LV: 7 ATK: 2600 + 1000 = 3600 “ I equip Dragon Buster to Buster Blader now you can't summon that demon,” Buster blader’s sword was replaced with the imperial sword Dragon Buster carried. Everyone watching the duel noticed Silver really did have fears. “ Silver your fear is unwarranted nothing bad will happen when the four dragons are gathered,” Silver still did not believe his counterpart since the nightmares about Zarc haunted him ever since he obtained all four dragons. “ Enough talk time to battle Buster Blader attack Clearwing with Destruction Sword Flash. Buster Blader leaped into the air and charged at Clearwing with his sword raised above his head. Clearwing and Sapphire took off and searched for action cards. Sapphire noticed one on the roof of the saloon and grabbed it just in time. “ I activate the Action Spell Evasion now your attack is negated,” Clearwing performed a barrel roll and dodged Buster Blader’s sword. Silver was not ready to give up and pulled a card from his hand. “ You may have dodge one attack but i'm not done yet from my hand i activate the quick-play spell Element Clone,” Silver said as i spell card with an image of a monster made of fire flying ahead of Red Dragon Archfiend appeared. When my Monster’s attack is negated this card becomes a exact copy of that monster with effects and all. The ground began to shake as a blue rock creature with an exact likeness of Buster Blader slowly rose from the ground and ready its weapon. Element Clone LV:7 ATK:2600 + 1000 = 3600 “ Let's try this again Element Clone pick up where Buster Blader left off and attack Clearwing. Element Clone slid across the ground and then formed a mountain to launch himself at Clearwing. Both Silver and Sapphire ran for action cards and each of them nabbed one. Sapphire did not hesitate to activate hers. “ I activate the Action Spell Miracle now my Dragon is safe and I only take half the damage,” Silver countered with his own action card. “ I activate the Action Spell No Action now your Action card is negated and even though my clone can't destroy any monsters it battles you will still take the full force of its attack,” Element Clone slammed Clearwing into the ground and the prism on Sapphire’s band began to glow green as the damage hit her. Silver Chance: 4000 Blazing Sapphire: 2900 “ Charging level is now at fifteen percent,” Ratchet said as Sci-Twi monitored the duel. “ Keep going you two we need more power,” Sci-Twi shouted. “ I set two cards face down and end my turn,” Silver said as he started running for the portal to the next field. Sapphire trailed behind him and reached the edge of the current field. They both entered the portal an ended up on a field that look like an Amazonian temple with a huge goddess statue in the center all sitting on yellow ground. “ Welcome to the Action Field Venus Sanctuary,” Sci-Twi said through the intercom. “ My turn i draw,” Sapphire said as she drew her card. Sapphire started looking for Action cards and suddenly noticed one on the steps and grabbed it. She didn't waste any time activating it. “ I activate the Action Spell Hand Recharge now I trade the only card in my hand for a whole new hand,” Sapphire returned her only card to her deck and shuffled it then drew five new cards. Sapphire was pleased with what she drew. “ First things first time to send your pesky sword to the grave so I activate the Spell Pendulum Break while I control a pendulum monster in my monster zone I can destroy one Spell or Trap on your field so there goes your Dragon Buster,” Dragonpulse Magician fired a blast of energy that vaporized Dragon Buster. “ Now I activate Fusion Magician’s Pendulum Effect by discarding one card from my hand I can fusion summon using herself and a monster in my other Pendulum Zone so I will fuse Fusion Magician with Timegazer Magician. Both Fusion Magician and Timegazer leaped out of the Pendulum Zones and entered the fusion vortex. “ Mighty witch that combines souls fuse with the magician that reverses the flow of time and become one! From the hell that burns beneath your petals, give birth to another awe-inspiring terror! Fusion Summon! Appear, the poisonous dragon with hungering fangs! Level 8! - Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!” Starving Venom descended from the vortex and began absorbing the synthetic greenhouse gases in the air on this Action Field then synchronized his roar with the other two dragons. Starving Venom Fusion Dragon LV: 8 ATK: 2800 3600 + 500 = 4100 3600 + 500 = 4100 “ But I'm not done yet now I summon Cosmo Magician in attack mode,” A magician in a black robe with glittering stars on it and a witch hat with the same details spun her staff around and then brandished the end with the planet like tip with two orbiting rings on it at Silver. Cosmo Magician LV:4 ATK: 1900 “ Now to summon the last and most certainly not least dragon I overlay my level four Dragonpulse Magician and Cosmo Magician. Dragonpulse turned into an orange stream of energy while Cosmo turned into a purple stream of energy and both spun around each other before entering a Galaxy-like portal and exploding. “Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!". Dark Rebellion descended from the sky and synced his mighty roar with the other three dragons. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon RANK: 4 ATK: 2500 UNITS: 2 “ You may have summoned those spawn of the demon but i will not let them hurt me or anyone because i activate The Trap Monster Chain this card prevents either of us from attacking for a number of turns equal to the amount of monsters i control so since i have two monsters we can't attack for two turns” All four Dragons began to be encased in two rings of chains made of energy along with both of Silver’s Bladers. Monster Chain: 2 “ I never saw Silver this scared before usually, he would keep fighting no matter the odds,” Lyra said in a sad tone. “ I agree what happened to that shining hero who saved me from my loneliness?” Lightning replied. “ I may not know about this demon Silver is referring to but I do know the real Silver is in there somewhere,” Sci-Twi said. “ I'm ending this phobia once and for all I activate the Spell Perspective Change,” Sapphire said as a spell with a picture of a boy and girl switching minds appeared in front of her. This card switches control of all of our monsters until the end phase of my next turn. I get it Silver your scared that you will hurt everyone closes to you but holding your full power back will only hurt you more. Remember that time you unlocked Clearwing’s next stage when things were looking hopeless well that only happened because he sensed your true fighting spirit. Now by the power of my spell card Clearwing, Dark Rebellion, Odd-Eyes and Starving Venom go to him and bring him back,” Both of Silver’s Bladers leaped over to Sapphire and crossed their swords in front of her while all four Dragons ran over to Silver and tried to bring him back to his senses. Silver began to feel like he was about to lose control. “ Uh, Twilight The system is showing signs of Silver’s heart rate rising,” Ratchet said sounding very concerned. “ Oh no at this rate Silver may die if this keeps going we must stop the duel right now,” Sci-Twi said as she reached for the controls. “ Don,t you dare stop this duel Silver needs to keep fighting,” Sapphire shouted thus scarring Sci-Twi a little. Twilight told her that Silver was in danger and sapphire told Sci-Twi that if he dies then that's too bad. Silver was face to face with the Demon ZARC. ZARC tried to fuse with him until a light green ball of light appeared. “ No i will not allow you to take my master away from me,” The light said as it glowed brighter. The light extinguished the Shadowy form of ZARC and began to take form. The light turned out to be the spirit of Clearwing. “ Silver there is no reason to fear us i know somewhere in your memory you remember the trials and hardships we faced together,” Clearwing said as something began to spark in Silver’s mind. Silver remembered the first time he received Clearwing. Ten years ago in front of a card shop in Cloudsdale City Silver was at the edge of defeat with his own Scarlight being used against him. Silver only had his Level four Dragonpulse Magician and one set card to defend him. “ You may have survived this turn but next turn you're finished so go ahead and make your last pathetic move kid,” The mystery man said while laughing mockingly. “ My turn i draw,” Silver said as he drew his card. Silver drew a level three tuner but with no level seven synchros he could not use it. Silver was about to give up until a feather fell from the sky and struck Silver’s duel disk. The feather began to glow green and Silver’s extra deck began to glow as well. Silver checked his Extra Deck and saw he had a new level seven synchro. “ First I Summon Curse Buster Destruction Sword in attack mode,” Curse Buster rose from the portal and leaped onto the field carrying his sword in his mouth. Curse Buster Destruction Sword LV:3 ATK:1500 “ Time to see what this card can do I tune my Level Three Curse Buster with my Level Four Dragonpulse Magician to synchro summon my new monster. Curse Buster threw his sword into the air and leaped into it then burst into three stars that then turned into three green rings that encircled Dragonpulse and turned him into four stars that fell into alignment. “Oh, mighty dragon that speeds through the boundaries of time and space! Rise from the ashes and shine your wings brighter than the sun! Synchro Summon! Roar! Level Seven! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!” Clearwing flew through the streets before stopping by Silver’s side. Clear Wing Synchro Dragon LV: 7 ATK: 2500 “ Nice dragon kid but he is no match for the one I stole from you already,” The man pointed out. “ For now but just you wait I will get my other dragon back but for now I end my turn,” Silver said. “ Your funeral I draw,” The man said as he drew his card. The man decided to end this. “ I activate Scarlight’s effect all Special Summoned Effect monsters are destroyed and you take 500 points of damage for each one looks like I win,” Scarlight slammed his claw on the ground and unleashed an eruption onto Silver’s Field. “ I activate Clearwing’s effect when a Level five or above monster activates its effect Clearwing negates that effect and destroys that monster. Dichroic Mirror! Clearwing shined its wings and unleashed rays of light onto Scarlight and destroyed it. “ Sorry about that Scarlight now since Clearwing destroyed him with its effect his 3000 attack points are absorbed by Clearwing until my end phase. Clearwing began to glow as it gained power. 2500 + 3000 = 5500 “ Next i activate my Trap Counter Blast Strike,” Silver said as a trap with an image of Buster Blader stabbing his sword into the ground and sending a shockwave revealed itself. When one of my monsters gains attack points this traps forces them to attack even if it's not my turn. “ So basically we're skipping to the battle phase now?” The man asked. “ Yep and now Clearwing attack him directly with Whirlwind Slasher,” Clearwing flew above and began to spin rapidly as he nosed dived thus creating a green tornado while hitting the mystery man. Mystery Man: 0 Silver Chance: 500 WINNER: Silver Chance “ And from then on you and I strive to become stronger together,” Silver remembered all the battles he and Clearwing went through. As Silver regained his faith in Clearwing the spirits of the other three dragons appeared before him. “ Like Clearwing said there is no reason to fear us in fact without me your team would have lost that final battle,” Odd-Eyes pointed out. Silver remembered that heated battle of power he had with Sunset. “ And lets not forget how you and your rainbow haired friend manage to liberate me and Starving Venom from those jerks who abused our powers,” Dark Rebellion said. Silver suddenly remembered that tag duel and finally regained his faith in the Dimension Dragons. “ Silver’s heart rate is stabilizing,” Ratchet said with a hint of relief. Sci-Twi was dumbstruck as to how someone could go from critical to normal that fast. Lyra told her Silver must have conquered whatever demons he was afraid of. “ Glad to see your back on your feet,” Sapphire said with a hint of sarcasm. “ Thanks for renewing my faith in my friends,” Silver said while running for action cards. Sapphire knew with Silver’s chain still in play she could not attack so she decided to end her turn. “ I set one card face down and end my turn,” Sapphire said as her set card appeared behind the two bladers she now had. “ My turn i draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver checked for action cards and saw one in the right hand of the giant statue in the Courtyard of the Temple. Silver mounted Clearwing and flew around the statue in a spiral and leaped onto the hand of the statue then grabbed the Action Card. Silver was glad he found this one and activated it. “ I activate the Action Spell Flame Blast This destroys a face-up Spell or Trap I control and inflicts 700 points of damage to you,” Monster Chain burst into flames and went flying at Sapphire until she smiled. “ I hoped you would try this I activate my Trap Damage Rebound whenever i would take damage from an opponent’s card effect this trap negates that damage and sends it back at you with double the power,” The flames orbited around Sapphire for a bit and then went flying back at Silver. Silver mounted Clearwing again and took off looking for action card. As Silver approached the portal to the next field the flames hit him and knocked him off of Clearwing’s back. The gem on Sapphire’s Band glowed green as the magic she generated was sent to the fuser Silver Chance: 2600 Blazing Sapphire: 2900 “ Charging Level now at forty percent,” Ratchet reported to Sci-Twi as the Fuser’s light turned orange. Sci-Twi was glad to hear that after almost losing Silver. The chains binding the monsters all snapped and Silver decided to bring the battle to the next field. Both Silver and Sapphire enter the portal to the next field and found themselves on a field that looked like an island with crystals and some of the standard stuff you find on a island. “ Welcome to the Action Field Hope Island,” Sci-Twi said over the intercom. Silver decided now was the time to fight long side his new friends. “ First I activate the Spell Raigeki now both of my Bladers are destroyed,” A bolt of lightning struck down Buster Blader and Element Clone thus leaving Sapphire defenseless. “ Time to battle Clearwing attack Sapphire directly with Whirlwind Slasher,” Clearwing flew above the island and dived down while pinning creating a green tornado. Sapphire began searching for action cards and noticed one on top of a palm tree then leaped for it successfully grabbing it. Sapphire activated it in a desperate attempt to survive. “ I activate the Action Spell Battle Lock now you can't attack this turn,” All four dragons ended up being chained thus preventing them from attacking. “ Before i end my turn i activate the Continuous Spell Destruction Sealing Swords,” Silver said as a Spell with an image of Dragon Buster and Curse Buster stabbing their swords into the ground appeared. This spell seals off one of your empty monster zones for each destruction sword monster and Buster Blader monster in my GY so with three monsters i seal your left Middle and rightmost monster zones. Silver’s Spell card fired three swords each one hitting the declared zones and started glowing red. “ Now I will end my turn,” Silver said “ My turn i draw,” Sapphire said as she drew her card. Sapphire was in a bind now that she will only get two of her dragons back instead of all of them. Since Silver is still in control of them he can easily decide who stays with him and may benefit from who he keeps. “ I set one card face down and end my turn and during my end phase my dragons come back to me but since your spell only leaves me with two monster zones I can only get two of them back so who will it be?” Sapphire asked awaiting Silver's plan. “ I will return your Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion,” Silver replied knowing that even with only two of the dragons he still had the edge. Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion ran back to Sapphire ready to fight. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his card. Silver remembered how each of the dragons worked and decided to act. “ First I Activate the Spell Dragon’s Last Stand,” Silver said as a spell with an image of Blue-Eyes White Dragon charging full speed at Buster Blader appeared. This spell not only doubles my Dragon-type monsters attack points but it also prevents you from activating Spells or traps during the Battle Phase. Both Clearwing and Starving Venom began to glow as their power raised. 2500 x2 = 5000 2800 x2 = 5600 “ Next I activate Starving Venom’s effect I target your Odd-Eyes and steal both its name and effects so now when he attacks you will be hit twice as hard. Starving Venom sent his vines out and bit into Odd-Eyes and began sucking on him and stole his effect. “ Now it's time to end this Starving Venom attack Odd-Eyes with Poison Whiplash,” Starving Venom unleashed his vines and started whipping Odd-Eyes until Sapphire did something about it. “ I may not be able to use Spells or Traps now but i still have Monster Effects so i use Cosmo Magician’s effect since she was used for xyz material for a DARK Attribute xyz monster she grants that monster a one time effect by detaching an overlay unit I can reduce my battle damage to 0 once this turn. Dark Rebellion absorbed one of is overlay units and a black hole appeared in front of Sapphire and sucked up all the damage. UNITS: 2 - 1 = 1 Also since I detached Cosmo Magician her other effect activates when she goes to the GY I can attach one Pendulum Monster that is face up in my Extra Deck to the xyz monster I detached her from so I attach Harmonizing Magician to Dark Rebellion. A Black Star flew right at Sapphire's Extra Deck and Harmonizing Magician flew into Dark Rebellion and regenerated the overlay unit he lost. UNITS: 1 + 1 = 2 “ Either way Odd-Eyes is still destroyed now on with the battle Clearwing attack Dark Rebellion with whirlwind slasher. Clearwing flew above the island and dived back down in its green tornado that nailed Dark Rebellion from above and destroyed him thus sending Sapphire sliding into the crystals behind her while Silver’s magic was sent to the fuser. Silver Chance: 2600 Blazing Sapphire: 400 “ Charging level now at seventy-five percent,” Ratchet said. “ Now that the battle phase is over I activate my trap Xyz Reborn this trap Special Summons a xyz monster from my GY and attaches this card to it so come back to me Dark Rebellion. Dark Rebellion rose from the GY and absorbed the Trap that brought him back. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon RANK: 4 ATK: 2500 UNITS: 1 “ I end my turn,” Silver said as his dragon’s attack returned to normal. 5000 - 2500 = 2500 5600 - 2800 = 2800 “ My turn I draw Sapphire said as she drew her card. Sapphire drew the exact card she needed and wasted no time activating it. “ I activate the Equip Spell Phantom Cloak and equip it to my Dark Rebellion,” Dark Rebellion began to lose all traces of visibility and looked more like a ghost than a dragon. This card allows my dragon to attack you directly in exchange my monster cannot switch battle positions. “ Enter battle Dark Rebellion attack Silver Directly with Mulling Mantable Charge. Dark Rebellion began charging and phased through Clearwing while Silver kept running for action cards.Silver found an action card but was hit before he could grab it and Sapphire had her magic transferred to the fuser. Silver Chance: 100 Blazing Sapphire: 400 “ Charging level now at ninety-six percent we’re almost ready to go,” Ratchet said as the light on the machine began to flash. “ Time to wraps things up you two we are almost ready,” Sci Twi said over the intercom. Luckily both Silver and Sapphire were down to the last bit of their Life Points. Silver proceeded to grab the Action card he found and was glad to activate it. “ Sapphire thanks for renewing my faith in my dragons and for showing me I have nothing to fear which is why I'm glad to make this move I activate the Action Spell Refracting Crystal this card inflicts 500 points of damage to both of us for each monster we have so since I have two and you have one I take 1000 and you take 500. A giant crystal raised from the ground and sent a prism across the field and washed over all three dragons creating a rainbow-colored light that drained the rest of Both Silver and Sapphire’s Life Points and two beams fired out the bands on their arms and sent the last of the magic into the fuser. Silver Chance: 0 Blazing Sapphire: 0 DRAW “ Charging complete we are ready to begin,” Ratchet said as the field disappeared and the light turned green. Sci Twi entered the room and told Both Silver and Sapphire to enter the machine. Before Sapphire went in she wanted to say one last thing to Silver. “ Silver never forget to use all your power if possible,” Sapphire said before entering the fuser. “ Got it,” Silver said as he entered his end of the fuser. Sci-Twi pulled the switch and the fuser began to make a lot of noise as a blue light moved along the tube on Silver’s side and a red light moved along the tube on Sapphire’s side both entering the center chamber. As soon as the light turned off the center chamber opened and out came Silver whole again. “ What happened?” Silver asked. Sci Twi explained everything that went on to Silver. “ I see looks like my element must have given me the aid I needed,” Silver said as he took out his Dimension Dragons. Six hours later Silver invited Lyra and Lightning over to watch the southern division of the Selection Circuit with him. The Current match up was Team Nebula vs Team Heroes in the final round of the Winneola Stage. The Second Duel ended and Team Heroes was down to their Last Duelist. Team Nebula still had their first Duelist and he barely took any damage. “ And now taking the last leg for Team Heroes is Chris Steamer will he be the one who finally takes Ren Darkbright down or will this be a clean sweep for Team Nebula,” The Mc said as the crowd began to cheer louder. DUEL Chris Steemer:4000 Ren Darkbright: 3000 “ My turn i draw,” Chris said as he drew his sixth card. Chris was nervous since this guy manage to wipe out his teammates like they were mere amateurs. Chris muster all of his courage and made his move. “ First i activate the Spell Twin Summon Level Ten,” Chris said as a spell with an image of two high level monsters flying out of their cards appeared. This card allows me to Special Summon two Level ten monsters from my hand but their effects are negated and their attack points are halved so from my hand i Special Summon Rocket Arrow Express and Snow Plow Hustle Rustle. A blue train with a turbojet on top of the train engine sped by Chris along with a giant red snow plow. Rocket Arrow Express LV:10 ATK: 5000 - 2500 = 2500 Snow Plow Hustle Rustle LV:10 ATK: 2500 - 1250 =1250 “ Why would he summon out two heavyweight monsters like those only to strip them of their effects and half of their attack points,” Lightning asked confused by Chris’s move. “ He did not summon those for attacking with so pay close attention to their levels and you will see your answer,” Silver explained. “ Oh now I see since both of them are level ten he is going to xyz summon with them,” Lightning said. “ Correct but let's hope he has something good,” Silver replied. “ Now I overlay my Rocket Arrow and Hustle Rustle in order to build the overlay network,” Both Rocket Arrow and Hustle Rustle turned into streams of orange energy and entered a galaxy like portal and exploded. “ Mighty train of the future run across the tracks of time and aid me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Full Speed Ahead! Rank 10! Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max! A giant tank-like train sped around the stadium before stopping next to Chris. Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max RANK:10 ATK:3000 UNITS:2 “ Now your in for it by detaching an overlay unit from Gustav Max it inflicts 2000 points of damage. Gustav Max began to transform and a really long cannon began to push out of it. The cannon began charging then fired. Ren acted like this did not faze him and calming activated his set card. 2 - 1 = 1 “ I activate the Trap Damage Reflect this sends those 2000 points of damage back at you. The cannon fire was suddenly reflected back at Chris and he was hit really hard. Chris Steemer:2000 Ren Darkbright: 3000 “ Since I can't out match your monster I end my turn,” Chris said as he hoped for an action card. “ My turn I draw,” Ren said as he drew his card. Ren wasted no time activating his newly drawn card. “ I activate the Spell Sombra Sword Rite,” Ren said as a spell with a Picture of an innocent little whelp being sacrificed appeared. This spell banishes up to three Dragon-Type Monsters in either of our GYs but in order to beat you i only need to banish one so i Banish Red-Eyes Black Chick from my GY and as you already seen my Buster Dark gains 500 attack points for each Dragon-Type monster that is banished and with five now banished that's 2500 extra attack points. The camera moved onto a dark and evil looking version of Buster Blader as he gained more power. 4600 + 500 = 5100 “ Time to end this Buster Dark attack Gustav Max with Sombra Sword Slash,” Buster Dark leaped into the ground and turned into black smoke that moved beneath Gustav Max before leaping out and stabbing his massive sword through and caused Gustav Max to explode and Chris’s runner to emit smoke. Chris Steemer:0 Ren Darkbright: 3000 WINNER:Ren Darkbright “ It's all over folks the winners of the Whinneola Stage are Team Nebula,” The Mc shouted as the crowd cheered loudly. Ren looked like he was not impressed with his victory. Silver recognized that expression it was the look of someone looking for a real challenge. “ Looks like we have one team in particular to look out for,” Silver said as the thought of that evil version of his deck’s headliner was still fresh in his mind. Lyra and Lightning were worried Team Nebula would be their next opponent. Silver assured them they won't be meeting them for awhile. “ Relax we are in separate divisions we are in the western division and they are in the southern division we either won,t be seeing them until the final leg or they fail to qualify somewhere along the way,” Silver said as he showed them a map showing the lines and numbers dividing the country. Silver also mentioned that the bracket for the Las Pegasus stage would consist of teams who won the qualifying rounds that were held in the other states in their division. Lightning felt like she was forgetting about something after Silver mentioned the bracket for Las Pegasus. Inside the Penthouse Suite at a Hotel in Las Pegasus, the Dazzlings were discussing their strategy for when a certain someone shows up. “ Do you really think she will come Dagi,” Sonata asked as ignorant as always. “ Oh she will come alright Sonata the qualifiers are child's-play for a strong duelist like her,” Adagio replied while rubbing her newly formed pendant. “ It’s great that mystery woman restored our pendants and singing voices but that spell she added to them really ruins it for us,” Aria said in her moody tone. “ True that obedience spell may force us to be her servants but she did promise to remove it if we became the representatives for America and win the W.R.G.P,” Adagio said trying to stay positive before the tournament. “ But what makes you so sure we will win,” Sonata asked. “ Because a girl like that has no friends and there is no way she can beat all of us by herself,” Adagio replied remembering their last encounter. “ But didn't she already do that?” Aria asked. “ Yes but those were one on one duels this is a relay so even if she beats one of us her Life Points and cards will stay the same so we can counter and keep hitting her,” Adagio replied. The Dazzling all called it a night and eagerly awaited the arrival of their target in the morning.
