1616087 I know about that, how else would I know that, or even know about Limit Over Accel Synchro Summoning.

[Wolfgang]

1628039 Doubtful, but nothing set in stone at this point. I'm still outlining things. I've got the general idea down, but I'm still debating which characters will be in it, what decks we'll see, who duels, along with the finer details of the story itself (which are the most important pieces). So far, I can't really see any way to fit Yugi or Jaden in, and I'm not gonna make any promises.

[Maxout020]

1629774 Well I'll stay hopeful. You never can know with this kinda thing afterall.

1653406 You kidding? Shooting Quesar Dragon is about as easy to summon as climbing mount everest using only your toes! Shooting Star was clearly both the easier and more practical/logical choice.

[Uzume Tennouboshi]

1653497 Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.

So, for the sequel to this story, it sounds like it's the future that Paradox had meant to prevent. I'm guessing that THIS timeline is one where Yusei summoned Cosmic Blazar Dragon instead of Shooting Quasar Dragon.

[Wolfgang]

1653406 Shooting Quasar Dragon would be next to impossible for him to summon without Life Stream Dragon. He could certainly do it; he would need one of his Level 6 Synchros, Armory Arm and Formula Synchron; but it would still be almost impossible. Furthermore, Quasar wouldn't have helped in that duel. It's 1000 points weaker than Paradox's boss monsters, and none of its effects would do Yusei any good. No, Shooting Star Dragon was the better choice.

1654447 I actually just checked that. No, he didn't give Stardust to Aki. The only time that happened was in the first preliminary round of the WRGP, their battle against Team Unicorn.

[Wolfgang]

2102226

There's a reason for that: My brain doesn't know when to quit.

[Wolfgang]

2403244 Don't think it was that hard to figure out. The Mane 6, three versions of Celestia and Luna, Filly Pinkie Pie, Star Swirl, Chancellor Puddinghead, Discord, two versions of Spike, Shining Armor and Cadence, and Yusei.

Just keep track of who came in with whom.

[Ace Booksworth]

1219975well excuuuuse me for knowing how the cards work

[Wolfgang]

3118561 An understandable... misunderstanding. Sorry, tried to avoid that.

Anyway, I had watched the 10th anniversary movie where the Malefic series made its debut and decided to do some research on the anime versions of the cards. If you haven't seen the movie (go watch it; English or Japanese is good, funnily enough), then know that Paradox had multiple Malefic monsters in play on two of his turns in the duel. The first time was when he controlled Malefic Cyber End Dragon and Malefic Rainbow Dragon. The second time was two turns later, when he had Malefic Truth Dragon, as well as Malefic Red-Eyes B. Dragon and Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field, and later summoned Malefic Stardust Dragon back to the field in the same turn. In both instances, all of his Malefic monsters attacked that turn.

The anime versions of the cards are fundamentally different, but are a closed system. While their summoning requirements are a bit more lenient, the conditions for keeping them in play aren't as loose. All "Malefic" monsters, including Parallel Gear, required "Malefic World" to be in play, or they would self-destruct. Furthermore, "Malefic World" itself prevented non-Malefic monsters from attacking (which is why Paradox didn't attack with Stardust Dragon when he had revived it with Malefic Paradox Dragon).

All of the anime effects can be found on their respective pages at http://yugioh.wikia.com.

Don't worry about the misunderstanding. It happens when authors use anime effects of cards instead of the IRL versions. I DO try to explain this sometimes, though. And even if I don't mention it in the Author's Notes, I always have the characters explain precisely how their cards work the first time they play them. Or, at least, when their effects come into play.

[Ace Booksworth]

3118735yes I have seen the movie just in dubbed version. I like to go by the affects of the actual cards, not the show because in the show a lot and I mean A LOT of the rules are broken

[Wolfgang]

3118863 Not necessarily. After Battle City, they started getting a lot better about not breaking rules. There have been a few instances of "anime cheats", but they're very rare and can often be explained away by the anime versions of cards being different from real-life versions.

[Wolfgang]

3152888

Couldn't tell you for the life of me. Never read the books, only saw the movie (and it wasn't that great anyway).

[Wolfgang]

3933352 Not exactly a mistake. I chose to use the TCG version of Advanced Dark, which changes the Attributes of all "Crystal Beast" monsters to DARK. No need to use the Advanced set.

[Ace Booksworth]

4271911 ooooooh ok that makes much more sense ^^ i was just confused about it is all

[Wolfgang]

4283705 Not a problem. At the very least, I've taken to letting folks know when I'm using the anime effect of a card in the Author's Notes, at least in the next story. Speaking of, hope you get to it soon!

[Blazewind strike]

4284309 you wait so here you go, my positive and negatives of the sequal.

Positives:
I can now buy Yusei begin cool with the mane six this, because of the last story. A lot more character feel in character as apposed to last time. Oringial plot instead of rehashing season 2 first two episode. The ideas are flushed out this time. Mane six sightly more usefull than last time.

Negatives:
Time travel, I hate time travel a lot, this still does not do time travel right. Again still now turbo duel in a 5Ds story, that is a major let down. Continuity, I have yet to finish 5Ds yet, but I'am sure Yusei never dueled nightshroud, that was GX man, also I think parodoxs is human not a android. As a personal fan of malific monsters you made them to OP, like OP to where it got predicable. Also I get it rainbow dash with crystal beast, but I was hoping she would us dragunity because they seem more like her archetype.

Overall:
I don't know if I like this more than the first one or not. They both have a lot of flaws, but still have really good points. It is a good step in the right direction for this crossover, I just hope your final story fixs my problems with these two.

And their better be a turbo duel or else.

[Wolfgang]

Nightshroud was the 4Kids dub name for Darkness. Yusei dueled him at the end of the first Dueling is Magic! story.

Pretty sure I dealt with all the risks of time travel and causing paradoxes.

Paradox is an android. This is confirmed toward the end of the series, first by the visions of the future that Aporia showed to Yusei, and then by Z-one himself.

Eh, I hadn't really considered Dragunity for Dash. Dragons and Winged Beasts fighting together are kinda cool, but that would inevitably lead to a Gilda storyline, something which I don't really have any interest in pursuing. It would lead to this because, as you've no doubt noted, even the cards are expressions of a duelist's soul.

For all the Malefic cards that were seen in the Bonds Beyond Time movie, I used their anime effects. They were obviously overpowered, to an extent. I attempted to model the new Malefics after these in much the same way, such as turning Black-Winged Dragon's "Damage Drain" effect into a damage redirection effect. At the same time, I had to make sure that the monsters' effects also resembled those of their counterparts.

As for Singularity Dragon, well... yeah, I went over the top. I did so on purpose. Have you seen some of the crap they throw at main characters toward the end of a show? Nightshroud's "Darkness" deck, Z-one's Timelords, and Don Thousand's Numeron Code deck were all tremendously overpowered and meant to provide some unique challenge to the heroes. Nightshroud would try to fool the person into thinking that fate was against them and would put heavy emphasis on field control. Z-one made good use of monster effects through indestructable archangels. Don Thousand gained control of the source code of reality and modeled a deck after it, allowing him to rewrite his opponent's moves and easily bypass restrictions on his own cards. Paradox uses a deck of creatures with powerful effects, and even more powerful attacks. A tremendously overpowered Synchro Monster, with a bit of Nightshroud's "Singularity" flare thrown in, fit the bill perfectly in this case.

Believe me, if I could have fit a Turbo Duel into this one, I would have. But Yusei needed access to cards that were better than the available Speed Spell card pool, and I didn't feel like inventing new Speed Spells after all the effort I put into the Malefics- and I put in a LOT of effort, believe you me.

[Wolfgang]

5465219 Shining Armor would run either Lightsworns or, if we're allowing Xyz Monsters, Noble Knights. Dunno about Cadence, though.

[Teraunce]

You all get 2 ibuprofen tablets for the headaches this story causes!

[Hexatona]

Heya Wolfgang, thanks for writing another Dueltaining story for us! I read Dueling is MAGIC! a while back, and finally got around to reading your sequel here! And, like the last one, I made an audiobook of it too! (Well, I made it for myself, but I like to share)

Yes, it's Text-To-Speech, but I fix pronunciation, add pauses, emphasize italics text, make sure the card stats sound correct, and make dialogue happen at a higher pitch so you know when dialogue is happening.

You may not care too much for it, but even if you don't, please take it as a sign of my happiness in reading your story, and a thank you!

I've been so out of the loop that I had no idea anyone did this! It's a really cool idea! I'm trying to get back to writing the third story, and it's pretty hard what with work, life, and therapy, but I'm glad people are still enjoying the story even though I've been off grid for so long!
