Chapter 192: Ironman Match

(Cold Open)

It is the dream of the challenger to become champion.

"This is her big moment, this is her chance to steal it all, you know, to be the champion." said Isaac in a voiceover.

The crowning achievement of a lifetime of yearning for greatness. It is the dream of the champion to aspire to excellence, to have their legacy indelibly etched into history. Starlight Glimmer, the confident challenger, a maverick who spits in the face of adversity. Isaac, a tenacious champion, the mighty ring general who refuses to contemplate defeat.

"I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win." said Starlight in an voiceover.

Tonight, for one illustrious hour, in the epic Iron Man match. We will witness their passion, applaud their heroics, and marvel at their athletic prowess.

"It symbolizes who is the actual best duelist and he's/she's gonna find out that, uh, that I'm the best." said both in a voiceover as the picture of themselves was shown for all to see.

Two masters engaged in an extraordinary athletic event. Two duelists bound by one dream. After sixty grueling minutes, one person will have their arm raised high, the quest realized, the challenge overcome. The other will breathe loneliness, their dream shattered.

The image of Isaac and Starlight was now shown facing each other as they looked at one another with a long stare as the image froze as their monsters were shown above them as the battle was on.

(End of Cold Open)

"Opponent detected. Streaming data. Duel mode set. Initiating. Commencing." said their duel disks. "Ironman mode, initiated."

Timer- 60:00, Duel #1

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

"Let's duel!!" shouted both.

Timer- 59:59

I am willing to die to beat Starlight.

I will kill you Isaac.

Turn 1: Isaac

"I'll start off, I draw. I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior(1600/1000). Then Breaker gains a spell counter when he's summoned which raises his attack by 300. Next, I'll equip him with Bound Wand which raises his attack by an extra 100 for each of his level, so now he gains an extra 400 attack bring his total strength to 2300." said Isaac as his warrior lifted his sword up as he felt the power boost surge through him.

"I'll then end my turn with a facedown."

"Nice with Isaac starting off like that, he basically has a monster with more than 2000 attack points and it's just his first turn. Now Starlight is sure to go on defense." said Rainbow.

Turn 2: Starlight

"My turn," said Starlight as she drew her card. She looked at her hand as she had an evil smile on her face. "Isaac, you think that I didn't have a plan coming in. Well, think again. See I had a secret weapon I wanted to test out against you, and with you picking this ironman duel, I now have a ton of time to make you suffer."

"Now I play the field spell, Geartown!" shouted Starlight as the whole field began to change as there was metal buildings as all around they had a common thing.

"Geartown? No..."

"I now summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound(1000/1000)." Out came a mechanized hound as it had a set of metal jaws. Soon it opened its jaws as a flamethrower was shown and fired some fire at Isaac as he felt the flames of the heat as he dropped down to a knee.
Isaac's Life Points: 7400-

"Ancient Gear!" said Isaac as he was shocked to see Starlight using the one deck that he really hated in all of Duel Monsters.

"I know how much you have a disdain for Ancient Gears. So I took it upon myself to have built one, so that I can use it to make you suffer." smiled Starlight as she was glad to have done some extra research. "Now thanks to my field spell, all my 'Ancient Gear' summons require one less tribute. I'll then lay two cards facedown."

Turn 3: Isaac

"My turn," said Isaac as he drew his card. I didn't expect Starlight to use an Ancient Gear deck, that means I have to end this fast and get the first point. Isaac now looked at the time on his duel disk as the timer was counting down showing that he needed to get a move on.

Timer- 55:15

"I'll have my Breaker attack your Hunting Hound!" shouted Isaac as he had his monster leap into the air as he had his warrior do a downward slash at the pooch as it exploded into tons of small nuts and bolts.
Starlight's Life Points: 6700-

"I'll end my turn."

Turn 4: Starlight

"My turn, and now I'll reveal my facedowns, Ancient Gear Reborn, so now since I control no monsters, I can revive an 'Ancient Gear' monster so my Hunting Hound is back and it gains 200 more attack points. Then I'll activate my Ancient Gear Spark Shot! Since I special summoned one 'Ancient Gear' monster from my grave, I can deal you damage equal to half of its attack points." said Starlight as her hound rose up as her trap fired a shot full of electricity as it hit Isaac who let out a painful scream.
Isaac's Life Points: 6800-

"Our life points are near the same, well not for long. Cause since my field lowers the amount of tributes I need by one, which means I can summon this monster simply by getting rid of my hound, so now I advance summon my Ancient Gear Hydra(2700/1700)!" Out emerged a machine monster hydra as it had three heads as they all let out a roar as they had all six eyes on Isaac as they looked to tear the boy apart. "Now my hydra attack his Breaker!" shouted Starlight as her monster had its middle hear opened its mouth and fired a beam that took out Isaac's monster as the boy covered up.
Isaac's Life Points: 6400-

"Now my Bound Wand's effect activates, so now I can bring back my Breaker in attack mode!" said Isaac as his monster rose up once again.

"Another chance for me to take him down and make you suffer even more, I end my turn."

Turn 5: Isaac

"My draw," said Isaac as he drew his card and saw that it was his Berry Magician Girl. If I play my Berry Magician Girl, I can't activate her second effect. Plus, given her stats, I'll lose massive life points cause of how I can't activate any card effects when an Ancient Gear monster battles. What do I do, this is why I hate Ancient Gears.

"I'll play the spell card Swords of Revealing Light, so now you can't attack for three turns." said Isaac as three giant swords came raining down from the sky as they embedded onto Starlight's field.

"You really think this will hold me?" taunted Starlight as she thought Isaac's spell didn't mean much.

"Now I summon Berry Magician Girl(400/400)." Isaac's baby magician then came out as she used her tiny wings to hover in the air as she sucked on a pacifier and had a tiny wand in her hand. "And when I summon my Berry Magician Girl, I can add a 'Magician Girl' to my hand." Isaac then used his duel disk screen as he saw his options and was thinking of which one he wanted.

This time it wasn't which cute girl he wanted, but more so which would provide him the most optimal play when dealing with Starlight. Even Isaac's magician girls knew what their master was thinking and the situation they found themselves in as they didn't do their usual thing of fighting to get their master's attention to pick them. They knew that decision was critical. Isaac was having a tough time as his Berry Magician Girl sat on his shoulder as she put her tiny hand on her master's cheek and sucked her pacifier as she looked at her master trying to make his choice.

"Which one do I choose? I need to pick the right one to counter Starlight." said Isaac as he let out a grunt of frustration. He then looked at the tiny baby on his shoulder as she made a suck sound with her pacifier as she smiled at her master. "You're right, Berry. I just need to trust my instincts. Alright then, so which one do you pick?"

"Hmm... I want Kiwi." said the small baby.

"Big, big sister it is. I select my Kiwi Magician Girl." said Isaac as his duel disk ejected his choice as the spirit of Kiwi Magician Girl appeared as she gave a kiss to her baby sister's cheek and rubbed her tummy. She then gave a kiss to her master as she disappeared into her card.

"I'll then end my turn."

Turn 6: Starlight

"My turn," said the girl as she drew her card, "I now summon Ancient Gear Wyvern(1700/1200) and when I summon it, I can add an 'Ancient Gear' card to my hand from my deck. I then play Polymerization so that fuse together the two Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds in my hand." Starlight's two monsters let out a howl as they were sucked into a vortex as their energies were being used to summon a brand new monster. "I Fusion Summon, Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound(1400/1000)!" A new hound appeared as it had two heads for twice the bite and twice the power.

"I now end my turn."
(Turn Counter: 1)

Turn 7: Isaac

"My turn, and now I'll sacrifice my Berry Magician Girl so that I can summon my Dark Magician Girl!" Isaac then had his ace female spellcaster appear as she made her presence known. "Then I'll reveal my facedown, Dark Magic Expanded so that I can raise the attack points of my Dark Magician Girl by 1000. Then I'll discard my Kiwi Magician Girl so that I can activate her ability to raise the attack points of my Dark Magician Girl so now she has 3900 attack points."

"Oops, I forget to mention that when you summoned your Dark Magician Girl, she gains a Gear Counter!" said Starlight with an evil smile as a gear appeared above Isaac's magician as it rotated.

"Now Mana, attack that Ancient Gear Hydra!" shouted Isaac as he had his female magician take out Starlight's monster as it let out a cry as it was destroyed.
Starlight's Life Points: 5500-

"Now Breaker attack Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound!" said Isaac as his swordsman cut down the dog once more.
Starlight's Life Points: 5200-

"I end my turn."

Turn 8: Starlight

"My turn, and now I'll play Card of Demise so that I can draw five cards as long as I discard my hand in five turns. To start off, I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Swords of Revealing Light. Then activate the spell card Re-Fusion so I pay 800 life points so that I can revive my Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound." said Starlight as her monster rose up once more letting out a howl. "Next, I'll sacrifice my Ancient Gear Wyvern so that I can summon Ancient Gear Golem(3000/3000)!" Starlight's monster then disappeared as it was soon replaced by a giant robot as it was huge and tall as it reigned over the field as it let out a mechanized cry.
Starlight's Life Points: 4400-

"Not that!" said Isaac as he looked at the size of the monster staring him down.

"But I'm not down, cause now I play the spell Ancient Gear Spark Fusion! So now I can fusion summon using monsters from my graveyard, so I'll combine both of my Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds, Ancient Gear Wyvern, and Ancient Gear Hydra!" all of Starlight's monsters now appeared as they were all sucked into the vortex that appeared behind them as a brand new and destructive monster was now appearing as Isaac had a scared look on his face.

"And now I have everything I need to bring out the greatest monster to take you down. I summon a monster that will crush all in its path! Stand in awe of the ground shaking Chaos Ancient Gear Giant(4500/3000)!!" The ground shook as Isaac and everybody else could feel it, soon it opened up behind Starlight as she had a sly smile as out emerged a colossal giant robot as it let out a sound as it had a pair of cannons on its hands as it pointed one of them at Isaac and his monsters. "Time to end this, cause thanks to my Chaos Ancient Gear Giant, he can attack each one of your monsters once. So my monster, start off with his Breaker!" commanded Starlight as her monster pointed its weapon at Isaac's monster and fired a powerful beam as it took it out.
Isaac's Life Points: 3500-

"And now my giant attacks your Dark Magician Girl. Oh my bad, see Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound has an additional effect, see when a monster with a Gear counter battles, that monster is instantly destroyed. So your Dark Magician Girl is gone!" said Starlight.

"No, my Dark Magician Girl!" said Isaac as he saw Mana be destroyed.

"And now that she's destroyed, your life points are wide open! Finish him my monsters!" shouted Starlight as all of her Ancient Gear monsters all took their own swing at the boy as he was thrown for a loop and knocked onto the ground.

"AHH!!!" shouted Isaac as he hit the ground hard as he laid on his stomach.
Isaac's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Starlight

"Starlight Glimmer scores the first point." said Luna as the scoreboard on the screen that showed their portraits, now had changed from a zero to a one on Starlight's side.

Points: Starlight Glimmer - 1, Isaac - 0.

Timer - 47:45

"No! He lost!" said Rainbow as she and the girls were shocked that Starlight was able to beat Isaac in the first duel and get the lead.

"He's already down a point." said Sunset.

"And that's not all, that duel took about 13 minutes and already Isaac has fallen behind. He needed that first point to set the pace of this thing, but Starlight caught him offguard with that surprise deck." stated Twilight.

"Well, at least Isaac now knows what he's dealing with. Which means he can now adjust on the fly and plan accordingly!" said Applejack. "If there's anything Isaac's good at, is being able to see his opponent and how they duel and make changes to his dueling style and strategies, like that." stated the girl as she snapped her fingers to emphasize her point.

"True, but does he have enough time?" said Fluttershy.

"Second duel, begin!" shouted Celestia as Isaac slowly got back up from the ground as he looked at Starlight as she smiled and activated her duel disk. Isaac did the same as he had got some scuff marks on his body and skin as he activated his duel disk.

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Turn 1: Starlight

"I'll start this off," said Starlight as she drew her card. "I'll start off with my spell card, Ancient Gear Fortress. Now anytime my 'Ancient Gear' monsters are summoned, you can't target them or destroy them with card effects. Also you can't activate any cards or effects in response to my 'Ancient Gear' cards or effects. Then I'll play another continuous spell card, Ancient Gear Castle! Now all face-up 'Ancient Gear' monsters gain 300 attack points and each time a monster is normal summoned or set, I can place a counter on this card. So I'll summon my Ancient Gear Wyvern(1700/1200)! And by summoning my Ancient Gear Wyvern, I get to add an 'Ancient Gear' card from my deck to my hand." Starlight's monster then appeared as it let out a cry as it appeared as Starlight selected the card she wanted.

"I end my turn."

Turn 2: Isaac

"My turn," said Isaac as he still had scuff marks on him, "I discard my one card from my hand so that I can special summon my Apprentice Illusion Magician(2000/1700)." Isaac now had a female teen appear on his field as she took her position and twirled her hand as she pointed it at the monster. "And by summoning her, I can now add 'Dark Magician' to my hand. Next, since I control a Level 4 or lower monster, I can special summon my Mage Annette(1300/1700) in defense mode. And by summoning my Mage Annette, I can draw one card." said Isaac as he now had a kid magician appear on his field as she opened her book and a card floated from there to his hand.

"Next, I'll lay one card facedown and end my turn."

Turn 3: Starlight

"Why even bother playing any cards facedown? You can't activate them due to my monster's special abilities." taunted Starlight. "Now then, I'll equip my Ancient Gear Wyvern with Ancient Gear Tank to give it 600 more attack points rising its strength to a total of 2600! Now Ancient Gear Wyvern attack his Apprentice Illusion Magician!" Ancient Gear Wyvern then opened its mouth as it fired a beam that took out Isaac's magician.
Isaac's Life Points: 7400-

"Next up, I'll activating my Terraforming card so that I can fetch a field spell and I choose Geartown and then activate it so that all my tribute require one less. So I'll sacrifice my Ancient Gear Castle so that I can summon Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound(3000/3000)!" shouted Starlight as the ground once again shook with Isaac feeling the effects as soon a golem rose up as it let out a mechanized sound as it stared down at the boy.

"I now end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 4: Isaac

"My turn, I draw!" said Isaac. Starlight now has 2 monsters on the field with at least 2500 attack points, which means I need something strong.

"I'll play Pot of Greed so that I can draw two cards." said Isaac as he drew his cards and looked at them. "Now I've drawn Watapon(200/300) so I can summon him to the field in defense mode. And the other card I've drawn was my Palladium Oracle Mahad(2500/2100) and I can special summon his as well!" shouted the boy as he had his two monsters now on the field as he looked to turn this duel around.

"I now end my turn with another facedown."

Turn 5: Starlight

"That's all? This is easy. My draw," said Starlight. "Now I'll have my Ancient Gear Wyvern attack your Mage Annette!" shouted the girl as her monster took flight and destroyed Isaac's kid magician. "And now Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound attack his Watapon!" Ancient Gear Golem then looked at the tiny creampuff as it then reeled back its fist and smashed the tiny thing as it created a huge hole. "Oh, I forget to mention that my monster deals piecing damage!" laughed Starlight evilly.

"AHH!!!" shouted Isaac as he felt the attack as it dropped him to both knees as he placed his hands on the ground.
Isaac's Life Points: 4700-

"And that's not all my monster can do, see up to twice per turn, I can discard a Machine monster from my hand and my golem can attack again. So now take out his Palladium Oracle Mahad!" said Starlight as her golem delivered a another hard right as Isaac lost another monster.
Isaac's Life Points: 4200-

"Now my Palladium Oracle Mahad's effect activates, so now I can special summon Dark Magician from my deck!" shouted the boy as he now had his ace monster on the field.

"So be it, I end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 6: Isaac

"My turn and I'll play Card of Sanctity. So now we each draw till we control six cards." said Isaac as he and Starlight drew their hands. "Now I'll reveal my facedown Spell Shattering Arrow, so now I can destroy your Ancient Gear Fortress as well as your Ancient Gear Tank and you take 500 points of damage for each spell I destroy. And with fortress spell gone, I can destroy your Ancient Gear Monsters with card effects." said Isaac as an arrow then shot towards Starlight's field as it took out her two cards and dealt her damage.
Starlight's Life Points: 6700-

"Well my Ancient Gear Tank has another ability, when its destroyed, you take 600 points of damage!" shouted Starlight as a shock of electricity was sent Isaac's way as he felt it and let out a pain.
Isaac's Life Points: 3600-

"And that's not all, cause since you destroyed my Ancient Gear Fortress, I can special summon one 'Ancient Gear' monster from my hand or graveyard, so I summon Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon(3000/2000)." Starlight now had an even mighty dragon as it let out a roar as it came from the sky.

"That's fine cause now I can play this Thousand Knives to destroy your Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound!" said Isaac as small daggers appeared next to his magician as he launched all of them at the giant robot as it exploded. "Next, I'll play Magic Formula to give my Dark Magician an extra 700 attack points. Then play Diffusion Wave-Motion so I give up 1000 life points so that I can have my magician attack all of your monsters. Then reveal my facedown, Dark Magic Expanded so that my Dark Magician gains 1000 more attack for a total of 4200!"
Isaac's Life Points: 2600-

Isaac's monster then leaped into the air as it used its staff to create a huge ball of energy as it grew larger and larger until he pointed at Starlight's field and took out all of her monsters.
Starlight's Life Points: 3600-

"Not bad, but when you destroyed my Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound, it allowed me to add a 'Polymerization' to my hand. And also add an 'Ancient Gear' monster from my graveyard to my hand. So I'll take back my Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon." said Starlight as she grabbed both cards that ejected as she added them to her current hand.

"I now end my turn."

Turn 7: Starlight

"Time to end this, draw!" said Starlight. "Now I'll use the effect of my Ancient Gear Reborn to bring back my Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound, but it now gains 200 more attack points. Then I activate my other facedown, Ancient Gear Spark Shot to deal you damage equal to half of my monster's attack points." said the girl as another shot hit Isaac square in the chest as he fell down on his knees with his arms to his side.
Isaac's Life Points: 1000-

"Now I play Polymerization so that I can fuse together my Ancient Gear Golem, with two more 'Ancient Gear' monsters in my hand." said Starlight as she had all three of her chosen monsters appear as a vortex opened up behind her as it sucked them all in as the new monster was shown and it was big. "Using my superior skills, I'll unite all the wisdom and savagery of past ages into a brutal behemoth! I Fusion Summon! Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem(4400/3400)!!!" Once more another huge monster came as it let out a mechanized sound as it had a claw on one arm.

"I said this duel was done, and now... finish him!" shouted Starlight as her monster brought its huge and mighty claw down on Isaac's magician as it was destroyed and Isaac couldn't put his arms up to protect himself as he was thrown even harder on his back as he had more scuff marks on his skin and body.
Isaac's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Starlight

"Winner of the second duel, Starlight." said Luna.

Once more the scoreboard updated.

Points: Starlight - 2, Isaac - 0.

Timer - 35:21

"He lost again." said Pinkie.

"Shit, Isaac is now down by two points." said Rainbow.

"Isaac, come on." stated Twilight as she saw her boyfriend was struggling.

"This is your hero, everybody?!" shouted Starlight as she shouted to the students in the stands and to the readers. "This is your hero?! He can barely stand up, and he's already down two points. I said it before, my time is now!!!"

"The third duel will begin." said Celestia.

"Can't they give Isaac a few seconds to stand up?" asked Applejack.

"The rules state. One hour straight, no stopping the timer for anything." said Sunset as she too wished for Isaac to take a moment to recover as he struggled just to even get to his knees.

Isaac was breathing heavily as he felt the wind get sucked out of him as he tried his best to ignore the pain as he activated his duel disk while Starlight smiled.

"Isaac said he would have the advantage the longer this match goes, but I think he meant if he was in the lead. Isaac was hoping he'd be the one in charge so that he can drag the duel out and have Starlight run out of steam. Now he has to shift his plan to playing catchup instead of trying to drag it out. All Starlight needs to do is play defense till the timer runs out and given what she's playing, that's not gonna be a problem." said Twilight as the others were concerned.

"Third duel, begin!" shouted Celestia.

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Turn 1: Starlight

"The ball is my court, you can barely stand, so the question is should I just let the clock run out, or I should I try to get as many points as I can?" asked Starlight as she drew her card and looked at Isaac as he put his hand to his face as his vision was becoming a bit blurry.

"I've decided and that is... torture you as much as I can before the clock runs out. Pray to salvation that the clock can save you." chuckled Starlight.

"Isaac!" shouted the girls as they were shouting to their male friend to not give up and hang on.

"I'll summon Ancient Gear Statue(500/800) in defense mode." A small monster appeared as it was the head of an Ancient Gear monster. "I'll then end my turn, I'll give you one free turn before I end you." snickered the girl.

Turn 2: Isaac

"I... I... draw." said Isaac in a tired tone as he slowly drew his card as he wobbled a bit to his side as he saw the scuff marks on his skin as he focused. "I summon my tuner monster, Enchantress of Melody(900/1800) in defense mode." said Isaac. Isaac played his magician as a beautiful young girl with crimson-colored eyes, an determined and gentle look and mid-length dark brown hair tied into two twin-tails to a ribbon that laid on her shoulders. She wore black robes and a cloak, she wielded a silver staff and kept a short sword sheathed around her waist. Underneath the cloak, she wore a low-cut blouse, ultra-short pink miniskirts, and wore burgundy boots that stopped before her knee caps. She also wore some leggings that stopped halfway to her thighs as she still showed off her fair smooth skin.

"I... then set a card..." Isaac didn't have the strength to fully say his move.

"Come on, Isaac. Really?" asked Rainbow.

"Cut him some slack, Dash!" shouted Rarity. "The poor thing is bruised up, he can barely stand as is!"

"Isaac, please. Don't die." said Twilight as she closed her eyes and prayed at what her boyfriend said at how far he was willing to go to end Starlight. Even risk his own life to beat her.

Turn 3: Starlight

"Pathetic, I gave you chance. And now to end you." said Starlight as she drew her card. "I now activate the Machine Duplication spell card, so now I can special summon two more Ancient Gear Statues from my deck. So now I have three, and then I'll activate their abilities, so for each one that I tribute, I can replace it with an Ancient Gear Golem in my hand."

"Okay, that's a bit bad. It's not like she has three golems in her hand." said Pinkie. Soon her expression changed on a dime as Starlight showed her hand as she did in fact have three Ancient Gear Golems in her starting hand. "Oh, shit!"

"So I'll get rid of all three of my statues to summon my Ancient Gear Golems(3000/3000)!" shouted Starlight as her monsters appeared in front of her as the ground opened up as three large and huge machine golems appeared as Isaac found himself in a similar situation.

"I reveal my facedown, Tuner's Barrier. Now a tuner monster on my side of the field can't be destroyed this turn." said Isaac.

"So you managed to save your little pathetic girl. Seems even you try to play the hero for your monsters, well being the hero comes with a price and time to pay! Ancient Gear Golem #1 attack his monster!" shouted Starlight as her first golem raised its fist as a barrier formed around Isaac's monster as it protected her. "Don't forget, my golems can inflict piercing damage, hope saving one of your girls from your little harem was worth it!"
Isaac's Life Points: 6800-

"Attack, Ancient Gear Golem #2!" said Starlight as her second monster attacked.
Isaac's Life Points: 4600-

"And Golem #3, attack!!" shouted the girl as her third monster raised its fist and made contact with the barrier as Isaac fell down again.
Isaac's Life Points: 2400-

"Ahhh!!" said Isaac as he felt the attacks and more pain.

"Lie there like the bitch you are!!" said Starlight. "Even a dog has more sense than you, tuck your tail between your legs, pussy."

"Never!" said Isaac as he willed himself to get up.

"Time to end this. I play the spell Level Thunder to inflict you damage equal to the combined total of all my monsters by 100. And since each golem has a level of 8 and there are 3 of them, that means the damage comes out to 2400. And that's all you have left, so... good night." said Starlight as some lighting bolts were heading Isaac's way.

"Isaac!!" shouted the girls and their students.

"I send Clear Kuriboh from my hand so that I take no damage from your spell." said Isaac as he slid the tiny monster to his grave as it took the hit for its master as Isaac fell down to his knees once more.

"He survived." said the girls in a sigh of relief.

"So you hung on with a feeble little monster, well no matter, cause I have three golems on the field. And come next turn, they'll end you."

Turn 4: Isaac

Isaac was still on his knees as he tried to stand up and draw his card as the timer was ticking down. Starlight was enjoying this as she had a sick smile on her face as watching her enemy struggle to breathe much less get up.

"Looks like that's a third..."

"NO!!!" shouted Isaac as he yelled at Starlight and his body. "AHHHH!!!!" yelled the boy as his spirit raged on even bright as he willed himself and his adrenaline to take over as he stood up.

"Impossible." said Starlight.

"My draw! Stand back!" said Isaac. "I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards. Then activate Dark Magical Circle! So now I can look at the top three cards of my deck and then I can reveal a 'Dark Magician' related spell or trap card or the monster itself and add it to my hand and put the other cards back in any order I choose." Isaac's duel disk then showed his options as he made his choice as it slid out for him to grab as he used his screen to rearrange the order of his other cards.

"I reveal Dark Magic Expanded. Next, I'll play Strength in Unity. Then I'll play Advanced Ritual Art, so now I can ritual summon a monster by sending normal-type monsters from my deck so I send my Dark Magician so that I can ritual summon Magician of Chaos(2500/2100)!" Isaac's monster then entered a black portal as a pillar of light emerged and soon his other monster emerged on the field.

"So what? Your monster is weak."

"Correction my monster isn't weak, in fact it has the power to defeat you. Like this, first my Dark Magical Circle's second effect activates when I summon Dark Magician, I can banish one card you control and my Magician of Chaos becomes 'Dark Magician' when its on the field or in my graveyard. But that's not all my Strength in Unity now activates, since I ritual summoned using Dark Magician, I can now banish a second card you control. So I'm banishing two of your golems!"

"A double banishment?!!" said the girls and their students as well as Celestia and Luna as they were shocked by what Isaac just did.

"No way!" said Starlight as she watched two of her mighty monsters fall.

"And that's not all, cause now I activate my Magician of Chaos' ability once per turn, when a spell/trap card or effect is activated, I can destroy one card on the field, so say goodbye to your last golem!" said Isaac as he now cleared Starlight of her entire field as she was left with nothing.

"All three golems gone?!" said the girl in shock.

"He actually beat them all." said Twilight in awe at how her boyfriend was able to turn the tables in his favor.

"Next, I'll play Monster Reborn so that I can bring back my Dark Magician. Then activate my Enchantress of Melody's effect, so now I can roll a die and whatever number it lands on I can either increase or decrease a monster on my field by that level." Isaac now had a die appear in his hand as his magician put her hand over his as she transferred some energy to her young master to help him roll.

"Thanks, Melody."

"My pleasure, Isaac." said the teen girl as she gave a kiss to the boy's cheek.

"Dice Roll!!" shouted both of them as they tossed the die into the air as it spun and soon rolled around on the ground as it landed on a number. "Now I'll decrease my Melody's level from 3 to 2. And with that, I'll now tune my Enchantress of Melody with my Dark Magician. And when I use Dark Magician as synchro material, he counts as Level 6 instead of 7. So now I tune my monsters together!" shouted Isaac as his female magician played her lyra and transformed into two giant green rings as they circled around his other magician. "I Synchro Summon, Dark Sorcerer Magician(2500/2100)!" Isaac now had his synchro monster as out came a spellcaster that had white hair and had garments that were dressed in a indigo/purple color scheme. It wielded a staff and was surrounded by bits of stardust and magical symbols.

"I now play the second to last card in my hand, Dedication through Light and Darkness, so I'll tribute my Magician of Chaos so that I can summon my Dark Magician of Chaos(2800/2600). And when my Dark Magician of Chaos, I can then add a spell card to my hand, so I choose my Monster Reborn, but I'll play it so that I can bring back my Magician of Chaos." said Isaac as he now had three monsters on his field.

Starlight was sweating a bit as she saw Isaac's magicians, He's got three monsters on the field and I'm wide open, but... even with their total attack, I'll still have life point left.

"Don't forget I have one final card in my hand, Starlight. And it's the key to winning."

"Wait... the card in his hand..."

"I play Dark Magic Expanded, now I can give a Dark spellcaster on my field an extra 1000 attack points this turn, so I choose my Magician of Chaos." said Isaac as his monster now had 3500 attack points. "So now... my magicians combine your attacks together and take out Starlight's life points!!" commanded the boy as his three monsters all put their staffs together as they created a huge beam of magical energy as it shot towards Starlight as she took a hard hit as it caused her to take a tumble onto the grass as she had some dirt and scuff marks forming on her skin.
Starlight's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Isaac

"And Isaac does it!!! He gets a point, he scored a quick one over Starlight!!!" shouted Celestia as she came out of her seat and shook Luna in excitement as she couldn't believe what she saw as she was happy. She then noticed what she did as she cleared her throat and recomposed herself as she straighten out her sister's shirt as Luna looked at her older sister with a glare.

Soon the entire crowd made a noise as they saw Isaac score a win and get back in the duel. The girls all cheered as did their students as they all shared some high fives. Twilight was happy to see her boyfriend finally got one over Starlight that she believed he was now on the road to catching up and beating Starlight. The scoreboard now changed as Isaac was awarded his first point.

Score: Starlight - 2, Isaac - 1.

Timer - 30:15

"This is great, Isaac was able to score a win in less than five minutes, now all he has to do is win one more and he ties with Starlight. After that, he'll then be back in driver's seat as he can drown Starlight the longer the two of them duel." said Sunset.

"Starlight!" called out Sunburst as he wanted to check on his friend even if it was against her wishes. Soon he saw her slowly get up as she had marks but that didn't stop her.

"You got one lucky break, it won't happen again." said Starlight. She then pulled out her Ancient Gear deck as she switched now to her Constellar deck as she meant business. "Time to put a stop to your comeback."

"Bring it... asshole." said Isaac as he was exhausted a bit but still had the energy to taunt the girl as both activated their duel disk.

"Duel #4, begin!" shouted Celestia.

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

Turn 1: Isaac

"My... oh god... I'm getting tired... play... my Magician's Valkyria(1600/1800) in defense mode. Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn."

"Isaac's not looking too good." said Fluttershy.

"What do you expect, this is his fourth duel in a row without any rest in between." said Sunset.

"And he needs to pick up the pace, cause Starlight is still ahead by one point. So realistically, she still has the advantage cause all she needs to do is stall Isaac and for time which means she's going to be playing defense. So she's forcing Isaac to come at her, so that she can prepared to stop his assaults." stated Rainbow.

"True, Dash. But I have faith the city slicker can do it, if anybody can, it's him." stated the country gal.

Turn 2: Starlight

"My turn," said the girl as she drew her card. "I summon Constellar Algiedi(1600/1400). And by summoning Algiedi, I can also special summon one Level 4 'Constellar' monster from my hand, so I choose my Constellar Acubens(800/2000) in attack mode. And when Acubens is summoned, all my Constellar monsters gain 500 more attack points." Starlight’s first monster descended from the golden portal above her, a slim figure in silver armor wielding a club with a blue gemstone set in it. Algiedi raised its club and fired a ray of light at the ground. Within the circle of light rose a second monster, a massive silver robot with a pair of glowing orange scissor claws. "Now Algiedi take out his Magician's Valkyria!" shouted Starlight.

"I... reveal my facedown, Magic Cylinder so now I can redirect your attack right back at your life points!" said Isaac as his trap made two cylinders appear as one of them absorbed Starlight's attack and the other shot it back at her as she put her duel disk arm up to protect her as she still felt the attack and dropped her to a knee with more scuffs on her body.
Starlight's Life Points: 5900-

"Grr, you think you're clever. Well not clever enough. Cause now I'll overlay both of my monsters to build the Overlay Network!" shouted Starlight as her two monsters then transformed into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened in front of her. Soon both orbs of light entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "I Xyz Summon, Constellar Praesepe(2400/800)!!" Starlight’s newest monster burst out of the light, a burly knight in bright silver and gold armor with a massive pair of energy disks mounted on the back of its hands.

"I now end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 3: Isaac

"My draw... keep it together..." said Isaac as he drew his card feeling his arm strength fail a bit. "Since I control a Level 4 or lower monster, I can special summon my Mage Annette(1300/1700) and by doing so, I can draw one card from my deck. And now I summon my Magician's Robes(700/2000) in defense mode as well." said Isaac as he now had three monsters all in defense mode.

"Isaac's just playing defense, he should be attacking, he's down a point." said Rainbow.

"You try dueling 4 duels in a row!" shouted Twilight as it got the girls to be legit scared of their bookworm friend as she was defending her boyfriend.

"Settle down, Twilight." said Sunset who tried to calm her friend from starting another fight.

"I... end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 4: Starlight

"My turn and I'll play Constellar Belt. So now you can't negate my monsters' effects. And with that done, I'll now summon Constellar Shertan(700/1900). And by summoning Shertan, I can add a 'Constellar' monster to my hand." said Starlight as her new monster now appeared and grabbed a card ejected from her duel disk. "Now Constellar Praesepe attack his Magician's Valkyria!" said the girl as her monster took out Isaac's monster.

"Now I activate my Magician's Robes effect, so by discarding a spell/trap card from my hand, I can now special summon my Dark Magician from my deck!" said Isaac as he now had his star magician on the field.

"So be it, cause now I'll end my turn." (Hand 2)

Turn 5: Isaac

"My draw, now... I'll play Magic Formula so that I can raise my magician's attack by 700. So now, my magician attack her Constellar Shertan!" shouted Isaac.

"I activate my Constellar Praesepe's special ability, when a 'Constellar' monster is attack or attacking, I can remove an overlay unit to give it 1000 more attack points. So now my Shertan has 1700 attack points and will minimize the amount of damage I take." said Starlight as her monster powered up as it lowered the amount of damage Starlight would take as it was destroyed.
Starlight's Life Points: 4400-

"I now end my turn."

Turn 6: Starlight

"Now then, I draw, and I'll play Rank-Up Magic Constellar Eclipse Force!" said Starlight.

"Oh no." said Isaac as he heard from his friends what that card could do.

"Now I can take one 'Constellar' monster in my Extra Deck and use it to summon a different monster that's one rank higher! so I'll use my Constellar Hyades and use it to Xyz Summon!" said Starlight as her monster appeared for a second as it turned into an orb of light as it hovered in the air for a bit as another portal opened up in front of her. Soon the orb of light disappeared into the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "Go Rank Up Xyz Evolution, Constellar Omega(2400/500, OLU: 1)!" The golden light burst, revealing a centaur in gold and silver armor with a spark of gold light circling it.

"Now my monsters take out his defense position creatures." said Starlight as both of her monsters got rid of Isaac's Mage Annette and Magician's Robes. "But don't think I'm done, cause I now play the spell Constellar Tempest!!" shouted Starlight as soon the entire sky light up with red lights. Soon those dots came more into focus as they turned out to be meteors heading straight towards the boy. "Death rains from above, cause I now I cut your life points in half by removing my two monster's Xyz materials!!" shouted the girl.

"Isaac move!!" shouted his friends.

"Shit!" said Isaac as he tried to run given his body as exhausted as he ran.

The meteors were faster than he expected as soon they landed in his path and stopped him from advancing as he turned to look at the sky as a giant one was right above his head as soon it collided with him as a huge explosion went off.

"AHHH!!!" screamed the boy as he fell face first onto the ground.
Isaac's Life Points: 4000-

"Isaac!!" shouted Twilight.

"Stand up!!! Stand up so I can make you my personal bitch!!" said Starlight. "You're terrified of not only losing to me, but of letting these people down!"

Isaac was struggling to get back up as he put his hands to his side and tried to push up against the ground to get up but it was so painful. He soon got onto his knees with his arms to his side as he let out deep breathes and looked at Starlight as he wiped his nose and then slowly got up on one knee.

"If you think for one second, that I'm terrified of you. Then not only have you lost your confidence, girl, you're out your damn mind!!" shouted Isaac as he got back to both of his feet. "Chipmunk cheeks, you say that your going make history by making me your bitch. You're only half right with that statement! See I'm the son of bitch that's gonna make history by whipping your ass!!!" yelled the boy as he was stilling showing defiance and willing to continue the duel.

"Then take your turn!"

Turn 7: Isaac

"My draw, and I'll reveal my facedown, Eternal Soul. So I can use its power to add 'Dark Magic Attack' to my hand, then I'll use it so that I can destroy all your spell and trap cards." said Isaac as his magician pointed its wand at it took out Starlight's entire backrow. "Now, Dark Magician attack her Constellar Praesepe!" shouted Isaac as his monster now raised his staff and fired a powerful attack as it took out her monster.
Starlight's Life Points: 3600-

"With that, I lay one card facedown."

Turn 8: Starlight

"My turn, and I play Constellar Star Chart. Now I'll give my Constellar Omega an upgrade, I overlay to construct the Overlay Network!" The crowd went wild as Starlight’s monster glowed brightly, a golden silhouette weaving in the air around it. “With the galaxy as your guiding light, gallop down the path to the cosmos and take flight among the brightest stars!” She thrust her fist into the air. “Rank-Up, Xyz Evolution!” Constellar Omega burst apart in rays of light, the rays striking the silhouette around them and filling it out. “Using a Constellar Xyz monster I control as the sole Xyz Material, I Xyz Summon, Constellar Ptolemy M7(2700/2000, OLU: 1)!” The shape shattered to reveal a large silver and gold dragon, wings of the night sky spread into the air and its tail coiling down and around Starlight.

"And since I Xyz summon a Constellar monster, I can draw one card from my deck. I'll then play Constellar Star Cradle so I'll take back my Constellar Algiedi and Acubens from my graveyard and add them to my hand. Next, I'll summon Constellar Acubens again and when it's summoned, all my Constellar monsters gain 500 more attack points." Starlight's monster now rose up in defense mode as it pointed its weapon at its comrade as it gave both it and himself a power boost.

"I now end my turn."

Turn 9: Isaac

"My draw, and I'll activate the effect of my Enteral Soul once more, so now I can add Thousand Knives to my hand. Then I'll play Thousand Knives to get rid of your Constellar Acubens and with it gone, your other monster loses that extra 500 attack." said Isaac as his magical daggers took our Starlight's smaller monster as her dragon lost power. "Now, Mahad take down that beast with Dark Magic Attack!" shouted Isaac as he had his magician leap into the air as he pointed his wand at Starlight's monster as it took it out.
Starlight's Life Points: 3100-

"I... end..."

Turn 10: Starlight

"You're done! Draw! I now play Rank-Up Magic Constellation Force! So now I can use a Constellar monster in my graveyard and use it to Xyz Summon a monster that's one rank higher! So I'll revive my Constellar Omega!"

"No!!" shouted the girls as they knew what Starlight was summoning.

"This monster has been dying to meet you again, Isaac!" shouted the girl with a sick evil smile as her Omega turned into an orb of light as a portal opened up in front of her. Soon it entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "This is the end for you, once this monster strikes the field, all shall be destroyed by its celestial light! Go Rank-Up Xyz Evolution. Annihilate everything in your path, Constellar Ursa Proeliator(4000/3000, OLU: 1)!!" Out emerged a warrior made whose body was made up of the night sky and star as the outline of its body was white lines connecting the stars as it wielded a spear and shield as it rode on a huge bear as it stood at 7 feet tall on its hind legs as it had fangs along with its mouth as it let out a roar as it too had the same shape and appearance as its rider as both wore white and gold armor.

"Ooh, Isaac." sang Starlight in a cult like voice as she had the boy trembling a bit at he saw the monster that took him out the first time they clashed.

"That monster..." Isaac looked at the great as it was exactly as he remembered it as the memory of the last battle came rushing to his head.

"Indeed, and now I'll activate its ability, by using one overlay unit, I can return all my Xyz 'Constellar' monsters in my graveyard back to my hand and my Ursa Proeliator gains 500 attack points for each one!" said the girl as her warrior lifted its spear up in the air as the spirits of its comrades were unfused into it as its strength rose to 5500 attack points. "Now take out his magician!" shouted Starlight as her monster then raced forward as the bear had a set of killer eyes as drool fell from its mouth as it pinned down Isaac's monster as it brought its big and mighty paws down on its target.
Isaac's Life Points: 1700-

"When my Magic Formula was sent to the graveyard, I gain 1000 life points."
Isaac's Life Points: 2700-

"Like that matters, my monster can attack twice per battle, so you lose!!!" shouted Starlight as her warrior then leaped out of its seat and jumped high into the air as it locked its eyes on the boy and the flung its weapon with tons of power and force as it hit Isaac square in the chest as he was sent flying onto the ground hard.

"AHHH!!!" screamed Isaac as he felt himself hit hard. If he had hit the ground even harder, he would have definitely suffered some broken bones, but he managed to protect himself upon impact.
Isaac's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Starlight

"Starlight... now scores a third point." said Celestia in awe and sadness at how she managed to beat Isaac even switching decks.

Scoreboard: Starlight - 3, Isaac - 1

Timer - 24:07

"The only down side is that it only took six minutes, but that means I get to torture you even more." laughed Starlight as she the most evil smile possible as she licked her lips with her tongue at the thought of making Isaac suffer and ending his life.

"Bring.. i... t..." was all Isaac said as he stood up.

"Duel #5, begin!" shouted Celestia.

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Turn 1: Isaac

"My.... I..." Isaac couldn't say the words as he drew his card. "I... Magician Boy(1500/1200)... attack mode." Isaac was really starting to slow down as he placed his monster on the field as it appeared. Isaac's small magician looked at his master as he could see how tired his master was becoming. He then pointed his staff at Isaac as he casted a small spell on his master as it gave him a small amount of energy to at least talk normally so that he can explain his moves.

"Thanks, buddy." said Isaac. "Now since I control a Level 4 or lower monster, I can special summon my Mage Annette(1300/1700) in defense mode." Isaac's other kid magician appeared as she too could sense her master's lifeforce as it was weak, so she used her magic to transfer some of her magic to boost the stamina of her master also.

"Thanks you two." smiled Isaac at his kid magicians.

"You're welcome, Isaac." said the two kids.

"Now since my Mage Annette was summoned, I can draw an extra card." said Isaac as he drew said and looked at it before placing it facedown.

Turn 2: Starlight

"My turn," said Starlight as she drew her card. She looked at her hand when she felt her right arm hurt a bit as she placed her left hand on it and rotated it a bit to loosen the pain. Slowing down, means I need to end this now and stop Isaac from trying to score anymore points.

"Since I control no monsters, I can special summon my Constellar Siat(100/1600). Then I'll sacrifice my Constellar Siat so that I can summon my Constellar Virgo(2300/1600)!" said Starlight as she replaced her smaller monster with female monster as she appeared with star particles surrounding her. "Then the effect of my Virgo activates, so now I can special summon one Level 5 'Constellar' monster from my hand, so I choose my Constellar Zubeneschamali(2100/1400)!" Another monsters appeared as it was a machine as it had two disk on its hands and sharp claws that spun. "And by summoning my Zubeneschamali, I can add a 'Constellar' monster from my deck to my hand." Starlight's duel disk then ejected her card she desired as she grabbed it.

"I'll now have my Constellar Virgo attack your Mage Annette." said the girl as her monster raised its weapon and looked to cast an attack.

"I reveal my facedown, Shift! So now your attack is redirected to my Magician Boy!" shouted Isaac.

Starlight's monster then fired her attack as it was heading towards the small girl as she closed her eyes. Soon Isaac's boy magician raced in front of his best friend as he put up a small barrier for the two of them as he put his arms out as he shielded the small girl from danger.

"I'll protect you, Annette." said the small boy as he didn't want his friend to be hurt. Mage Annette opened her eyes and saw her best friend protecting her that she smiled and blushed at his action that she hugged him from behind as she felt safe.

"Now the effect of my Magician Boy activates, any damage I would have taken, you take instead." said Isaac as his magician's barrier then bounced the attack back at Starlight as she put her arms up as she was pushed back a few inches as some more scuffs appeared on her body.
Starlight's Life Points: 7200-

"So what?! My Constellar Zubeneschamali can still take out your Mage Annette now that your trap has expired. Take her out!" commanded Starlight.

Isaac's boy magician was not moving from his spot as he wanted to protect his friend from danger. Mage Annette saw it and how her best friend was willing to not move from his spot. She admired how determined he was in keeping her safe that she couldn't help but smile. Mage Annette then grabbed her friend's shoulders and tossed her best friend to the side as he fell down.

"Annette!" called the small boy.

"Thank you. Now it's my turn." smiled the girl as soon the attack made contact as it caused both males to cover up their eyes as soon there was nothing but magic particles from where the girl once stood.

"Annette." said the small boy as the magic particles landed in his hand as he could feel the magical energy of his best friend.

"Her defeat won't be in vain, buddy." said Isaac as he told his small magician as he nodded with his master.

"I now end my turn."

Turn 3: Isaac

"My turn, and now I'll play Queen's Knight(1500/1600) in defense mode. Then I'll have my Magician Boy attack your Constellar Virgo!" said Isaac as he had his small magician raise his staff as he now had unbridled strength from seeing his best friend sacrifice herself as he fired off his spell without being pushed back as it made contact with Starlight's monster. "And as you know, any damage involving my Magician Boy, you take instead." said Isaac.
Starlight's Life Points: 6400-

"But that's not all, my Magician Boy's other effect activates, when he fails to destroy a monster in battle, I can destroy one monster on your side of the field and then you take damage equal to its attack points. So now your Constellar Virgo is now gone!" stated the boy as he dealt some more damage to Starlight as she covered up and fell to a knee as she too was now slowly getting tired.
Starlight's Life Points: 4300-

"I now end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 4: Starlight

"My turn, and now I'll play Constellar Cosmos, so now your Magician Boy's special ability is negated this turn. Next, I'll summon my Constellar Rasalhague(900/100). Then activate Rasalhague's special ability, I can now tribute it so that I can revive a 'Constellar' monster from my graveyard, so I choose to bring back my Constellar Virgo!" said Starlight as her monster then struck the ground under it as a portal opened up and sucked it in as her old monster rose up again. "With that I now overlay both of my Level 5 Constellar monsters to build the Overlay Network." Starlight's two monsters then rose up as they turned into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of the girl. Soon both lights entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "I Xyz Summon, Constellar Pleiades(2500/1500, OLU: 2)!!" shouted Starlight as her monster now rose up as it pointed its weapon at Isaac and his monster.

"Now take out his Magician Boy!" shouted the girl as her monster brought its weapon down on the tiny magician as he was destroyed.
Isaac's Life Points: 7000-

"I'll then lay one card facedown and end my turn."

Turn 5: Isaac

"My turn, and now I'll play Graceful Charity so that I can draw three cards and discard two." said Isaac as he picked up his cards and then selected which ones he wanted to send. "Next, up I'm summoning my Chocolate Magician Girl(1600/1000)." said Isaac as he had another one of his magician girls appear with a smile and wink. Chocolate Magician Girl saw her master in his roughed up state as she had a concern look on her face.

"Isaac." said the teen girl.

"Don't worry, Chocolate. Young Isaac is tough warrior and has an even tougher fighting spirit." said Queen's Knight as she assured her comrade that their master was okay. "He's doing his best, and we have to do the same to vanquish our foe."

"Right." said the teen girl as she then floated over to her master as he dropped to a knee for a second as she placed her hand on his cheek as he looked at her. She then used her magic to make a piece of chocolate appear as she hand fed her master as the sweet treat replenished his health a bit.

"Thanks for that." smiled Isaac for his magician girl's help.

"Anytime, Isaac." said the teen girl as she planted a quick kiss to her master's cheek.

"I now end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 6: Starlight

"My turn, and now I'll play Constellar Star Chart. Then I'll play my Rank-Up-Magic Constellation Eclipse Force! So I can use one 'Constellar' monster in my Extra Deck and then use it to Xyz Summon a monster that's one rank higher. So I'll take my Constellar Omega Hyades and overlay it!" Starlight's monster appeared for a second before turning into an orb of light as it hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of her. Soon the orb entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "Go Rank-Up Xyz Evolution! I Xyz Summon, Constellar Omega(2400/500, OLU: 1)!" The golden light burst, revealing a centaur in gold and silver armor with a spark of gold light circling it.

"Now the effect of my Constellar Star Chart allows me to draw an extra card. Now I activate my Constellar Pleiades so by using one overlay unit, I can return your Chocolate Magician Girl back to your hand." said Starlight as she had her monster use one of its Xyz materials as it absorbed it into its weapon and pointed it at Isaac's monster as his magician turned into a white light as it shot towards his hand.

"Now Constellar Pleiades attack his Queen's Knight!" shouted Starlight as her monster brought it down on Isaac's knight. "And now you're defenseless, Constellar Omega strike him down!!!" commanded the girl as her monster delivered a huge hard attack as Isaac let out a scream.

"AHHHH!!!!!!" shouted the boy as the amount of pain and strikes he had encountered so far was piling up on him.
Isaac's Life Points: 4600-

"It ain't done, cause now I play Constellar Tempest! And you know what it does, by removing all the overlay units of my 2 Xyz monsters, I can cut your life points in half!" shouted Starlight as meteors rained down on the sky as Isaac was hit yet again as he fell face first onto the ground as he didn't move.
Isaac's Life Points: 2300-

"Looks like I win again." said Starlight as she saw Isaac was down on the ground and given her situation of two Xyz monsters, her facedown, and Constellar Tempest, on her next turn she would take out the rest of Isaac's life points.

"Ha, ha, ha." laughed Isaac.

"Huh?" said Starlight as she was stunned to see the boy stirring after taking two massive hits to both his body and stamina, but also cause he was... laughing?

"Ha, ha, ha." chuckled Isaac as he willed himself to get on his knees.

"You're kidding me, you're laughing?!" said Starlight.

"Ha, ha, ha." Isaac was still laughing as he got up and pushed himself up to stand not once losing the chuckle he had.

"I think Isaac might have lost it." said Pinkie as even she didn't understand why her friend was laughing given his situation.

"Guess getting his ass whup so many times has caused him to go insane." said Rainbow.

"No, that's not it." said Twilight.

"What do you mean?" asked Rarity.

"Isaac's not laughing cause he's insane. But rather he's laughing through the pain." stated the lavender girl.

"What?!!" said Sunset.

"He's laughing through the pain. Almost like he enjoys it." repeated Twilight.

"You think it's funny?!" shouted Starlight.

"Ha, ha, ha. I do." said Isaac as he still held that smile on his face. "Cause I reveal Dark Horizon! I may have taken damage, but that has allowed me to summon my Dark Magician Girl to the field." Isaac now had his ultimate female magician on his side.

"Please, she won't do any good. She's much too weak." said Starlight as her turn was over.

Turn 7: Isaac

"My draw, and now I'll summon my Enchantress of Melody(900/1800)." Isaac summoned his magician as she appeared next to her comrade as Isaac was now putting his final part of his plan into motion. "Now I activate my Enchantress of Melody's special ability, so now time to roll the die." A die then appeared in Isaac's hand as he looked at it and then tossed it high into the air. "Dice Roll!!" shouted the boy as he tossed the object into the air as soon it came crashing down and rolled around as soon it landed.

"Now I'll decrease me Enchantress' level by one so now she's Level 2. And with that I'll tune my Level 2 Enchantress of Melody with my Dark Magician Girl!" Enchantress of Melody then strung a few musical notes with her lyra as she turned into two giant green rings as they circled around Mana. "I Synchro Summon, Dark Sorcerer Magician(2500/2100)!" Isaac's synchro monster now appeared for the second time as it had its staff and relic symbols floating around it. "And when my monster is synchro summoned, I can destroy a spell or trap card on the field, so I choose your Constellar Tempest!" said Isaac as his magician pointed its staff at Starlight's card and took it out.

"So what? You're monster doesn't have enough attack points to take out my life points." said Starlight.

"True, not this monster. But I have one that will, it's little gift from a special someone." said Isaac as his magic was now flaring up as the girls could see their male companion tap into his magic as it looked like he was calling on a certain power from a certain friend. "Let me show you, cause since I control a monster, I can special summon this brand new card, my Paladin Fortis(300/500)!" Out came a small paladin as he had shiny armor with a helmet on him as he wielded a sword by his side.

"When did Isaac get that monster?" asked the girls and their students.

"What is this?!" said Starlight as she didn't remember this card ever being in Isaac's possession.

"Like I said, a certain someone gave me this. And he gave it to me so that I can take you down, now my paladin's effect allows me to revive a tuner monster in my graveyard, so I bring back my Enchantress of Melody. And then I'll use her special ability so now I can roll a die and either increase or decrease a monster's level." The die appeared in Isaac's hand as he looked at it, he closed his eyes and blew on it for good luck. He then tossed it high into the air as it began to spin through the air and tumbled around as Isaac was hoping to get what he wanted. Soon it stopped on a number to which Isaac smiled.

"Now I'll decrease my Enchantress' level by 2 so now she's Level 1." said Isaac as his magician lowered her own level.

"What are you planning?!" shouted Starlight.

"This!!" said Isaac with a serious look. "I tune my Level 1 Enchantress of Melody with my Level 1 Paladin Fortis!" Isaac's magician then transformed into one giant green ring as it circled around Isaac's other small monster. "I Synchro Summon, the tuner synchro, Valor Valkyrie(1500/200)!" This time out came a valkyrie as she wore a red and black color scheme with a fleur-de-lis on each sleeve and pant leg. She raised her sword up high as the pegasus she rose in on had a white coat and mane as it unfurled its wings and let out a fierce neigh. "Now my Valor Valkyrie allows me to gain 1000 life points for each card I hold in my hand." said Isaac as his life points increased by 1000.
Isaac's Life Points: 3300-

"Then I'll perform a special synchro summon by using my Synchro monster and my tuner synchro." shouted Isaac.

"He's doing what?!" shouted everyone in attendance as they were shocked on what Isaac just said.

Isaac's Valor Valkyrie then flew high into the air on her pegasus as she turned into two giant green rings as they circled around his magician. "Starlight, you said synchros are wretched little things that the world should get rid of. Well, now it's their turn to respond and they'll respond with all their might!! This is for you... Yusei." said Isaac as he could see the spirit of one of his friends and inspirations as he was smiling at the power he passed on to Isaac.

"Be transformed by the winds of destiny! Go Accel Synchro!!!" shouted Isaac along with Yusei's spirit.

"Accel Synchro?!!" said Starlight as she had never heard of what Isaac was doing.

Soon out came a brand new monster as it was a dark flier as the pegasus's coat and mane were black as riding it was the rider as she wore a set of blue armor that held her body close as her arms were exposed as she had some black, silver, and blue flames on the cuffs of her outfit which also contained a cape as it fluttered in the wind as she let out a fierce cry as her hands lit up with magic.

"Meet my Dark Flier Lysithea(3500/3000)!!" said Isaac as he had new monster descend from the sky as she took her position and hovered over the field. "Now I activate my Dark Flier Lysithea's effect, so by paying 1000 life points, I can then excavate the top 5 cards of my deck and then for each 'Magician/Spellcaster' that I reveal, my monster gains 500 attack points."
Isaac's Life Points: 2300-

"This can't be?!" said the girl.

"Time to find out, here I go. Card number 1!" said Isaac as he drew it and then the image projected for all to see. "The first card... is my Breaker the Magical Warrior. Card #2... Apprentice Illusion Magician. Card #3... Effect Veiler."

"No! Stop it!" shouted Starlight as she couldn't believe Isaac's luck.

"The fourth card is also a magician." smiled Isaac as he let out a chuckle as he drew his Lemon Magician Girl. "And the last one..." Isaac put his hand on top of his fifth card as he let out a breath and drew his card to which he drew Skilled Dark Magician. "All five are spellcasters." Isaac smiled as the spirits of the cards he drew all smiled at their master as they lent their power to their new comrade as she used her hands and casted a magical circle around her as she felt the power that her comrades were giving her as they boosted her own strength.

"6000 attack points?!" stated Starlight.

"And there's more, cause since my Valor Valkyrie was sent to the graveyard as part of a synchro summon, I can now attach it to one of your monsters and have its attack points lower by the attack points of my Valor Valkyrie. So since it had 1500 attack points that means your Constellar Pleiades drops to 900." said Isaac as his tuner synchro appeared as she used her sword and did two cross slash attack on Starlight's monster as it dropped its weapon and felt it being weaken.

"In that case, I'll activate my facedown, Xyz Reflect! So now I can negate your Valor Valkyrie's effect and deal you 800 points of damage." said Starlight.

"Sorry, but that's a no can do. See if you activate any spells or traps, my Dark Flier Lysithea can freeze them in their tracks." said Isaac as his female magician used her magic to render Starlight's trap useless as her monster lose its attack.

"No!!!" said the girl.

"Now to finish this, Lysithea attack with Dark Spikes!" shouted the boy as his monster heard his command as she flew over towards the monster. Constellar Pleiades tried to swat her out of the air but she dodged the attacks with ease. Soon she was above the monster as she did a full circle motion with her hands and then brought them together as manifested dark spikes out of thin air as they were sharp and soon she clapped her hands together and all the spikes followed her lead as they embedded themselves into the monster as it let out a cry as it exploded and the force of the attack hit Starlight as she was sent flying suffering more scuff marks.

"AHHH!!!!" shouted the girl as she hit the ground and rolled through the grass as she laid down.
Starlight's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Isaac

"Yes." said Isaac.

He then started to fall over as his monster caught the boy in her arms. Dark Flyer Lysithea got off her pegasus as she was just a few inches from her master as she gently laid him on the floor. Isaac could only turn his head to look at her as soon his Valor Valkyrie was also on his other side as they looked at their master.

"Thank you..."

"You're welcome, Isaac." said both girls as they had finally been awaken by the young boy as they to pledge their loyalty to him for waking them from their slumber. Both girls gave one final parting kiss on Isaac's cheeks as he laid there with his right hand having a handful of grass. He lifted his up to see Starlight lying on the floor as he smiled, soon Isaac saw the image of Yusei as he remembered on calling him and his power to help him.

"Yusei... I hope... I made you proud." said the boy.

"You already did, Isaac." said the spirit of Yusei as he disappeared.

"The fifth duel goes to Isaac." said Luna as the crowd cheered Isaac for pulling out a win.

Scoreboard: Starlight - 3, Isaac - 2

Timer - 15:09

"Nearly 15 minutes left and Isaac just needs one more win to tie up with Starlight." said Sunset.

"Come on, city slicker!" said Aj.

"Get up, geek! You're almost there!" shouted Rainbow.

Both Isaac and Starlight were on the floor as they were still not moving as the timer was still ticking down. Sunburst and the girls were concerned for their friend as they had been going for about 45 minutes straight as they were punching each other with their attacks that they barely could stand up. Both reaching the limit of their exhaustion, both physical and mental of Duel Monsters was taking a toll on both duelists. Normally anybody else would be too tired to even think about getting back up, but Isaac and Starlight just willed themselves to get back up as if the anger and fury they had for one another was starting to fuel them as they ignored the pain from each other. Once again the desire to see the other not only get defeated but possibly dead was the main purpose that pushed each other to even get back up and somewhat ignore the pain as they activated their duel disk for another round.

"You're kidding me?!" shouted Rainbow.

"They still want to fight!" said Pinkie.

"They truly are fighting forever." said Sunset.

"Duel #6, begin!" shouted Luna.

"Bring it!" shouted Isaac and Starlight

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

Turn 1: Starlight

"I draw! And I'll summon Constellar Pollux(1700/600). And by summoning my Constellar Pollux, I can conduct an additional summon, so I'll sacrifice my Constellar Pollux so that I can summon my Constellar Antares(2400/900)." Starlight's weaker monster was then replaced with a more powerful one as it had a chain with it as at the end of it was the tip of a spear as it pointed it at Isaac. "And now my Constellar Antares' ability activates, so now I can take one 'Constellar' monster from my graveyard and add it back to my hand. So I'll take back my Constellar Pollux." said the girl as she grabbed her card from her duel disk.

"Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn."

Turn 2: Isaac

"My turn, and I'll summon my Gamma the Magnet Warrior(0/1800) in defense mode. Then I'll place two cards facedown." said Isaac with some exhaustion as he ended his turn.

Turn 3: Starlight

"My turn and like before I'll summon Constellar Pollux and then activate its effect so that I can conduct an additional summon this turn, so I'll sacrifice it so that I can summon my Constellar Alrescha(2200/1200)." Starlight's new monster now rose up as it wielded dual swords as it struck them into the ground as a portal opened up. "Constellar Alrescha lets me special summon a 'Constellar' monster in faceup defense position from my hand, so I choose my Constellar Acubens(800/2000). And when Acubens is summoned, all my 'Constellar' monsters gain 500 extra attack points." said Starlight. "So now, Alrescha attack his Gamma." Alrescha then charged forward as it unleashed a double sword attack as it sliced Isaac's monster into pieces as they exploded.

"Now Antares attack him directly!" shouted Starlight as she had her monster raised its weapon in the air and spun it like a lasso as it then lunged it towards Isaac who covered up and drop to a knee.
Isaac's Life Points: 5100-

"I activate my facedown, Dark Horizon!" shouted the boy. "So welcome my Dark Magician!" Isaac now had his trusty partner on his field as Mahad looked to help his master to acclaim victory.

"Very well, I end my turn."

Turn 4: Isaac

"My draw, and now I'll summon my Magician Boy(1500/1200). And you know what he does, so attack that Constellar Antares." said Isaac as he had his tiny magician fire a spell as Starlight's monster just merely repelled it as soon it was redirected towards Starlight who put her arm up as it hit her skin and caused her to feel a bit of pain.
Starlight's Life Points: 6400-

"And like before when my Magician Boy fails to destroy a monster, I can destroy one of yours and deal you damage equal its attack!" said Isaac as he got rid of the monster he just attacked as Starlight's monster was gone in a pillar of light as more damage was sent her way.
Starlight's Life Points: 3500-

"I now reveal my facedown, Constellar Meteor! So now since your monster wasn't destroyed when it battled my Constellar Antares, I can now shuffle your Magician Boy back into your deck." said Starlight as Isaac's boy sorcerer was gone in a white light as it transformed back into a card as he placed it on top of his deck as the autoshuffler kicked in.

"In that case, I'll end my turn."

Turn 5: Starlight

"My turn, and since I control a 'Constellar' monster, I can special summon my Constellar Caduceus(1600/1550). And by doing that, I can now add a 'Constellar' spell or trap card to my hand. Now I overlay both of my Constellar Caduceus and Acubens to build the Overlay Network!" shouted Starlight as her monsters then transformed into orbs of light as they levitated in the air for a bit as soon a portal opened in front of her. Soon both orbs of light entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "I Xyz Summon, Constellar Praesepe(2400/800, OLU: 2)!" Starlight’s newest monster burst out of the light, a burly knight in bright silver and gold armor with a massive pair of energy disks mounted on the back of its hands.

"Now I activate Praesepe's special ability by using one overlay unit, I can raise the attack points of one of my Constellar monsters, so I choose my Constellar Alrescha making it now have 3200. Then I'll attack your Dark Magician with my Constellar Praesepe." said Starlight.

"What?" said the girls.

"Guess I forget to say that since I used Caduceus to Xyz summon, that Xyz monster now has the power to banish a Light or Dark monster that it does battle with before damage calculation, so now my monster attacks yours but not only does it banish it, but its remains on the field." said Starlight as her monster clashed with Isaac's magician as both reeled each other as soon Mahad saw himself disappearing as he gave one last look at his master.

"Mahad!" shouted Isaac as he saw his most loyal monster disappear before his very eyes.

"And now that you're wide open, Constellar Alrescha attack him directly!" shouted Starlight as her other monster delivered a brutal attack to the boy as he fell down hard on is back.
Isaac's Life Points: 1900-

"I ain't done, cause now I play Rank-Up Magic Constellation Eclipse Force! So now I can use a 'Constellar' monster from my Extra Deck and use it to Xyz summon a monster that's one rank higher!" stated the girl as she took her Constellar Omega and then transformed into an orb of light as it hovered in the air for a bit as soon a portal opened up in front of her. Soon the orb of light entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "Go Rank Up Xyz Evolution, The light of distant stars shatters the dark of night. I Xyz Summon Constellar Pleiades(2500/1500, OLU: 1)!" said Starlight as her new monster appeared.

"But I ain't done, cause I'll give him an upgrade even more." said Starlight as her monster glowed brightly, a golden silhouette weaving in the air around it. “With the galaxy as your guiding light, gallop down the path to the cosmos and take flight among the brightest stars!” She thrust her fist into the air. “Go Rank-Up, Xyz Evolution!” Constellar Omega burst apart in rays of light, the rays striking the silhouette around them and filling it out. “Using a Constellar Xyz monster I control as the sole Xyz Material, I Xyz Summon, Constellar Ptolemy M7(2700/2000, OLU: 2)!” The shape shattered to reveal a large silver and gold dragon, wings of the night sky spread into the air and its tail coiling down and around Starlight.

"Now, I'll end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 6: Isaac

"My draw, and now I'll play my Swords of Revealing Light!" said Isaac as three giant swords came from the heavens as they imbedded onto Starlight's field. "Now with my swords in play, you can't attack for three turns, next I'll play Graceful Charity so that I can draw three cards and discard two." Isaac then drew his cards as he looked at the ones he wanted to get rid of. "Then I'll banish the two cards I just sent my graveyard so that I can summon my Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning(3000/2500)." Isaac's Apprentice Illusion Magician and Electromagnetic Turtle now appeared as they turned into orbs of light and darkness respectively as their energies were being used to summon a warrior that wore armor and had a sword and shield.

"Then I'll reveal my facedown, Burial from a Different Dimension so now I can take 3 banished cards and put them back in my graveyard, so I'll take my Dark Magician, Electromagnetic Turtle and Apprentice Illusion Magician." said Isaac as all three of his cards slid out for him to manually move them into the graveyard slot. "Now, I'll have my Black Luster Soldier activate his special ability, so now I can banish a monster on your side of the field and I choose your Constellar Ptolemy M7!" said Isaac as his warrior raised his sword as he shot a beam of attack as it collided with the giant dragon as it was now removed from the game. "By using that ability, my monster can't attack, so I end my turn."

Turn 7: Starlight

"My draw, and now I'll play Constellar Star Cradle, so now I can take back 2 'Constellar' monsters from my graveyard and add them to my hand. So I'll take Constellar Pollux and Acubens." said Starlight as her duel disk ejected her two different cards in her hand. "Now I'll summon my Constellar Pollux and by doing so Acubens is also summoned due to its special ability, then I'll overlay them to construct the Overlay Network!" Starlight's two monsters then transformed into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of her. Soon both orbs of light entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged, I Xyz Summon, Constellar Omega(2400/500, OLU: 2)!!" shouted the girl as a centaur appeared as it took the field.

"Next, I'll play Xyz Treasure, so since there's currently two Xyz monsters on the field, I can draw 2 more cards. Then I'll play Xyz Energy! So by removing an Xyz material from my Omega, I can destroy your Black Luster Soldier!" said Starlight as her Omega uses its overlay unit as a beam attack hit Black Luster Soldier and took it out.

"With that I now end my turn with a facedown."

(Turn Counter: 1)

Turn 8: Isaac

"My draw, and now I'll place my Black Arts Trickster in my Pendulum Zone." said Isaac as he placed his pendulum card on the far right of his duel disk. "Then I'll activate her ability which allows me to add a pendulum card in my other Pendulum Zone. So I'll choose my Sleight of Hand Magician to take the stage." Isaac then grabbed his other pendulum card as he placed it on the far left of his color card tray as the word pendulum in rainbow coloring was in between them to show that it worked. "With that my Black Arts Trickster now has her pendulum scale raised from 3 to 10. Then I'm playing my Card of Sanctity so that we draw till we're holding six cards in our hands. Now that I have a brand new hand, I'll play Pendulum Treasure so now I can add a pendulum monster to my deck face-up." Isaac then made his choice on which card he wanted as it slid out for him to grab as he put it in his Extra Deck pile. "Now time to pendulum summon, so here we go! I'm allowed to summon monsters from Levels 3 through 9 all at the same time. Back and forth, to and fro, what's coming next, you'll all soon know. So swing far pendulum, and carve the arc that will lead me to victory! My monster's ready to swing into action!" shouted Isaac as he thrusted his hand up into the air as a portal opened up and a light came out. "Batten down the hatches and drop anchor, it's my Sorcerer Swordsman(1500/1500, Scale 1, Level 4)." Out emerged the boy's monster as he tip his feathered pirate hat as she pulled out his silver sword as it shined brightly.

"Now when my Sorcerer Swordsman is pendulum summoned, he can lowered the attack points of one of your monsters, so your Omega's attack now drops to zero." said Isaac as his magician pulled out his sword and chanted a spell as it shot towards Starlight's monster as it powered down. "Now take it out!" commanded the boy as his monster raced forward.

"I activate my Praesepe's special ability, so by using one overlay unit, I can give my Omega 1000 attack points till the end of the turn and help to minimize the damage I take." said Starlight as she braced herself for impact as Isaac's monster cut hers in half as the shockwave hit her as she had a small cut on her cheek.
Starlight's Life Points: 3000-

"Then time I kick it up a notch, cause I'll play Kuribandit(1000/700) and then activate its spell ability, so now I can tribute it to look at the top five cards of my deck and if any of them are spells/trap cards, I can add them to my hand. Anything else, I send them to the graveyard." Isaac's deck then showed his options as to him and everybody's surprise, four out of the five cards were all monsters.

"No way?!" said Rainbow.

"This can't be... Isaac's move failed him." said Fluttershy as she was shocked by what Isaac drew.

For Isaac he was the most stunned at what his options were as Starlight smiled. The four monster cards that showed for the boy were his Dark Magician Girl, Magician of Dark Illusion, Dark Magician of Chaos, and Sorcerer of Dark Magic. All four were some of Isaac's most powerful monsters in his deck and they were all now being sent to his graveyard as he could really use them. Not to mention that he was down a point and with time nearly running out, he couldn't afford to make a mistake, but it seemed playing Kuribandit might have done him in. Isaac put his head down as he couldn't believe he didn't have anything, he looked at his options when he noticed his fifth card as he looked at it. Soon a light bulb went off in his head as he closed his eyes and pictured the card. He then thought about it closely as soon he saw it connected to another card and then another and then another as Isaac was picturing his plan to win as he saw the lines and all the angles he needed to claim victory. He then opened his eyes as his eyes sparkled for a second as he smiled.

"Since four of my cards are monsters, I send them to the graveyard, but I keep the fifth one." said Isaac as he slotted them to his graveyard as he added the fifth one to his hand. "Now I'll activate the card I just added, Pendulum Exchange! So by discarding a card from my hand, I can target one pendulum monster on my field and switch it with one in pendulum zone. So I switch my Sorcerer Swordsman with my Sleight of Hand Magician(2100/1500, Scale 2, Level 6)." said Isaac as he switched one of his monsters with his other.

"Starlight, you've lost this round."

"What?!"

"Just save you the trouble and just forfeit. Cause I'm telling you, next turn, I win." smiled Isaac.

"The time for mind games is long gone. You don't scare me." said Starlight.

"Then beat me in this turn." taunted Isaac.

Turn 9: Starlight

"Like I'm scared, I now use my Constellar Praesepe to construct the Overlay Network!" shouted Starlight as her monster glowed brightly, a golden silhouette weaving in the air around it. “With the galaxy as your guiding light, gallop down the path to the cosmos and take flight among the brightest stars!” She thrust her fist into the air. “Go Rank-Up, Xyz Evolution!” Constellar Praesepe burst apart in rays of light, the rays striking the silhouette around them and filling it out. “Using a Constellar Xyz monster I control as the sole Xyz Material, I Xyz Summon, arise and unleash your celestial fury, Constellar Ptolemy M7(2700/2000, OLU: 1)!” The shape shattered to reveal a large silver and gold dragon, wings of the night sky spread into the air and its tail coiling down and around Starlight as her second one was present.

"Now I'll activate my monster's ability..."

"I discard Effect Veiler from my hand to negate the effect of your monster." said Isaac as he sent his card to the graveyard as his monster appeared and shot some feathers from his wings as it rendered Starlight's monster useless. "I told you Starlight, you need to win now."

"GRR!!! I'll now play my Mystical Space Typhoon so that I can destroy your Swords of Revealing Light! Attack!!" shouted the girl as she commanded her dragon.

"I banish my Electromagnetic Turtle from my graveyard so that I can end the battle phase." A tiny turtle came out as it curled up and unleashed a powerful electrostatic wall as it paralyzed Starlight's monster.

"Impossible!!" shouted Starlight as Isaac just brought her turn to a complete end.

"I warned you... you lose, Starlight." smiled Isaac.

"He tricked me... he actually tricked me." Starlight was stunned to see that Isaac's tiny bluff, actually got her to ignore his field completely like... their last...

"Starlight, you okay?" asked Sunburst.

"Go to Plan B!" shouted the girl.

"What?!" said Trixie.

"NOW!!!" shouted Starlight as she end her turn.

"Then it's..." Isaac then heard some voices.

"Opponent detected." said some duel disks as both Trixie and Sunburst had activated their duel disks and were now on the field as they surrounded Isaac.

"What the..."

Turn 10: Trixie

"I summon Performage Damage Juggler(1500/1000)." said Trixie as she summoned her monster. "Then activate the spell card, Double Summon. So now I can also summon my Performage Trick Clown(1600/1200). And with these two monsters, I overlay them to build the Overlay Network!" shouted the girl as her two monsters then turned into dark orbs of light as a portal opened up in front of her. Soon both lights entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "Direct your gaze to the skies above, as I present to you a swinging star performer! I Xyz Summon! Performage Trapeze Magician(2500/2000, OLU: 2)!" A purple pole with studded orange heads on either end spiraled over the field, when a comically thick white-gloved hand snatched it, thin golden beams of light shooting out from each end to the ceiling. Hoisting onto the pole that had turned into an on-the-spot trapeze was a predominately white, lanky humanoid: Its waist and neck adorned in a fluffy pink boa, while from its back billowed a wide, magenta cape. Its spindly legs ended in dark blue shoes curled at the toes, while affixed to its masked, ever smiling visage, sat a white conical hat.

"Wait..." said Isaac.

Turn 11: Sunburst

"My turn, and now I summon Gagaga Magician(1500/1000)!" said Sunburst as he summoned his monster.

"Starlight!!!" shouted Isaac.

"You didn't think I had a backup plan." laughed the girl.

"That's cheating!!" shouted Rainbow. "This was suppose to be a one on one duel."

"Like I'd give a damn! I'll do anything to win, even cheat." said the girl as she looked forward to taking down Isaac.

"It's three on one, Isaac can't survive that." said Fluttershy.

"Then let's even the odds." said Applejack. "If Starlight can do it, then so can we."

"Error! Can not join duel." said the girl's duel disks.

"What?!" shouted the seven of them.

"I'm not dumb, you idiots. I hacked the system to work in my favor. Only me and my group can be allowed to join this duel, the rest of you are all locked out till the timer runs out." stated Starlight as she had a sick smile.

"Now since I control a 'Gagaga' monster, I can special summon several monsters, Gagaga Child(800/1200) and three Gagaga Clerks(400/800)!" said Sunburst as he now had a field full of monsters on his field. "Next, I'll activate my Gagaga Magician's special ability to change his level to 4. Then I'll have my Gagaga Child activate his ability to copy my Gagaga Magician's level so now he's Level 4 as well. Now I'll conduct a double Xyz Summon, so I overlay both of my Level 4 monsters so that I can Xyz Summon, Gagaga Cowboy(1500/2400, OLU: 2)!! Then overlay my three Gagaga Clerks so that I can Xyz Summon, Number 96: Dark Mist(100/1000, OLU: 3)!!!" Sunburst now had two powerful monsters appear on her field as they looked at Isaac as he was now surrounded on all sides. "I activate Gagaga Cowboy's effect, so by using one overlay unit, I can deal you 800 points of damage!" said Sunburst as his monster fired his pistol at Isaac.

"AHHH!!!!" screamed the boy.
Isaac's Life Points: 1100-

"Isaac!" shouted his friends.

"I then play Fissure to get rid of your Pendulum monster." said Sunburst as a giant hand grabbed Isaac's monster and dragged him into the hole as it closed up.

Isaac was now on his knees as he was breathing heavily as the attack really got to him in his weaken state. He gently lifted his head to see Starlight smiling as she had planned to cheat in order to win against Isaac as she had Sunburst and Trixie backing her up as it was now a handicap duel. Before he could stand up, he felt his head be pushed to the ground and into the dirt as Sunburst and Trixie were holding him down.

"Let him go!" shouted Twilight as she couldn't bare to see her boyfriend being mugged by Starlight and her gang.

"Hold him down!" shouted Starlight as she approached Isaac who looked at her with a scowl as her two allies held the boy's arms to keep him from moving. "You said you were gonna win, not this time!"

Isaac was about to spit in Starlight's face again, when he was hit in the stomach by the girl as she got him in the ribs as it hurt like hell. It didn't stop there, Starlight then moved to slapping the boy as soon she clenched her fists and started to wail on Isaac's midsection as he couldn't cover up to protect him as the timer was still counting down. Nobody could do anything as Starlight had made it so that nobody but she and her cronies could stop the duel in this state.

"Leave him alone, Starlight!!!" cried Twilight as she saw her boyfriend being beaten to a pulp as he was being mugged like he was a piece of meat being served to a pack of hungry dogs. The girls held Twilight back from getting out of her seat and jumping over the barricade to help her boyfriend as they knew there was nothing they could do.

"Stop it!!!" shouted the lavender girl as tears rolled down his eyes.

Starlight was just letting it all out as she kept hitting Isaac as he kept coughing and struggling to breath as every hit Starlight gave him the wind was getting sucked out of him. His vision was slowly becoming blurry as he felt his brain losing consciousness. Isaac could feel himself fainting as the oxygen in his lungs was getting weaker and weaker with each passing seconds; Isaac could faintly hear the girls calling out to him as he groaned. Starlight pulled back as she had sweat falling down her face as she saw the boy being held by her allies that she grabbed his chin to have Isaac look at her as she wanted to say the final words to her enemy before she took his life.

"NOW... YOU... DIE!!!!!" yelled Starlight at the top of her lungs. She then took a few steps back and then as hard as she could, kicked Isaac clean in the face as the boot of her foot made contact with his jaw as Isaac's head turned from the impact.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!" shouted Twilight that everybody heard her scream.

Isaac felt the kick to the head as it was ringing. He slowly moved from side to side as he coughed and for the first time out came some drops of red liquid as it splattered on the surface in front of him as the boy then fell hard facefirst on the ground as he didn't move.

"ISAAC!!!" Twilight was stunned to see her boyfriend on the ground, not moving. She let out tears as the girls all comforted her as they too were crying in seeing their male friend lying still on the floor.

Isaac's monsters could feel their connection with their master as it was instantly gone. It got all of them to let out a gasp as their master was no more. Black Robe Mentalist then clutched her head as one of the visions he saw rushed to her mind. The vision saw once again had two shadows as one of them was a duelist as they were taking on something big which then changed to show one shadow sitting on top of a large throne being surrounded by other shadows that resembled people while the larger one remained behind the person sitting, and in front of them was a person lying on the ground. Then like before it was now filled with color.

It showed Starlight sitting on that throne being surrounded by her followers as she was successful in her quest. She had her monster, Constellar Ursa Proeliator behind her as it helped to usher in her way of Duel Monsters. And in front of them laid the lifeless body of Isaac as it seemed he failed in putting a stop to her. Soon her eyes returned to normal as she and the others looked at the small portal as they saw their master as he laid on the ground not moving or showing any sign that he was alive.

Sunburst and Trixie were shocked themselves too see how far Starlight was willing to go as she may have just killed Isaac like she said. And even Starlight was legit shocked at what she did; she looked at her hands as she had finally gotten rid of the ghost of her past. Starlight was taking deep breaths as she looked at Isaac laying at her feet as she slowly smiled. She then saw her face as the scuff marks were still there as she began to smile and laugh at how she had finally claim victory as she could now rest. They all were about to follow her when they noticed Isaac's body shaking a bit.

Soon there was a heartbeat sound effect, as it got louder and louder and louder and then... it happened. Isaac's eyes shot open as he put his hands next to him and in one quick, swift motion, he got back up on his knees. Everybody was shocked by what they saw as Isaac got immediately back up from literally being beaten within an inch of his life. Isaac looked at Starlight and her crew as his eyes were different.

"What?! How did Isaac get up from that?!" shouted Rainbow.

"That's not Isaac." said Twilight.

True to the girl's word, it wasn't Isaac. It was his body, but the being that had now taken over the boy wasn't him, it was his demon. And it showed as Isaac's eyes changed as he was staring at the girl who was shocked by what she was seeing. Isaac's statement was true as right now she wasn't looking at the face of Isaac, but the face of the demon. For the demon saw Starlight and the rage inside was unleashed as he simply brought both his hands up and gave Starlight and her crew a double middle finger as it got everybody to gasp.

"What... the fuck?" said Starlight in shock.

Turn 12: Isaac

"My... turn!" shouted the boy as the magic inside of him along with the demon that took over the boy as he called out his move. "First I activate the pendulum ability of my Sorcerer Swordsman which lets me add monsters from my graveyard to my hand that fall in the scale I've set. So I choose my Dark Magician, Magician of Dark Illusion Dark Magician of Chaos, Dark Magician Girl, and Sorcerer of Dark Magic!" said Isaac. "Then I'll pendulum summon those monsters. Yuya, lend me your power!" shouted the boy as he called on one of his friends for help. Isaac now had a portal open up as five lights came out and the monster he just said appeared. "Next, I overlay both my Dark Magician and Magician of Dark Illusion to build the Overlay Network! I Xyz Summon, Ebon High Magician(2300/2800, OLU: 2)!" Isaac now had his Xyz monster appeared behind him.

"You're insane, you've lost!" shouted Starlight.

"No... you did..." responded Isaac. "Yuma, give me strength! Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!"

"What the hell?!" shouted all three as they saw Isaac do another move that they hadn't heard.

Isaac's Ebon High Magician then transformed itself and its Xyz materials all into orbs of light as they hovered in the air as another portal opened up and they all disappeared inside of it as a pillar of light emerged. "Arise, Chaos Mageía(3000/2500, OLU: 3)!!" Isaac now had one of his powerful monsters on the field. "I activate Chaos Mageía's special ability so by using one overlay unit, I can remove all other Xyz materials from other Xyz monsters on the field and them my monster gains 500 attack points and an extra attack for each one. So the total is 5 and now my monster has 5500 attack points."

"That's not enough to take all of us out." smiled Starlight.

"But this is! I combine the power of all magicians on my field!” The four monsters rose up, floating level with Isaac’s Pendulum monsters. Strands of light in seven colors whirled around each of them, the seven glowing brighter and brighter. Isaac put his hand over his duel disk, magic pulsing over him as swirls of light ran over his limbs. "I harmonize the spirits of my monsters, and open the dimensional gates to call upon a shining spirit of hope.” Isaac’s magic burst into a spectacle of colors. “Unitatis Summon! Ascend, Harmony Magician Warlock!” The rainbow light vanished, the new monster hovering in the air where it had been. Out came a powerful looking spellcaster as its robes were covered in vibrant colors and wielded a staff that was full of powerful magic as it had the seven symbols of friendship floating around the top. It wore a golden hat with sun emblems crossed each other as the being spread his hands, sending more rays of light out.

"What is that?!" said the trio.

Eyes shimmering, Isaac held his hand out. “Harmony Magician Warlock can be summoned by tributing any number of spellcasters on my side of the field, be they in the Monster or Pendulum Zones. For each card tributed from a Monster Zone, he gains that monster’s attack points, and for each card tributed from a Pendulum Zone, he gains an additional attack this turn. So now my monster has 13500 attack points and can attack three times this round!"

"NO!!!" said all three as they watched Isaac's magician getting ready to wipe out all three of them in one shot.

Isaac thrust out his hand, “Harmony Magician Warlock, end this duel!!!” Isaac's magician raised his staff as he fired several attacks as they made contact with all three duelists' monsters as total destruction was caused as all three were blown back from the attack.
Starlight, Trixie, and Sunburst's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Isaac

The duel ended as Isaac managed to beat a three on one situation... a three on one! Being down to just a few life points and Isaac was able to deal over 30000 points of damage in total to all three of his challengers and wipe them out in one shot. That alone got everybody to gasp as how Isaac who was beaten both physically and mentally still hung on and won the duel as they were tied and the timer was still ticking down.

"Isaac ties the score!!!" shouted Luna as it got everybody to cheer.

Scoreboard: Starlight - 3, Isaac - 3

Timer - 4:52

"And only less than 5 minutes remain as both duelists have the same score and both are down." said Celestia.

"Yuya... Yuma... thanks for helping..." said Isaac as he collapsed on the ground.

"Anytime, bud." said both duelist as their spirits disappeared.

"What the hell was that?" said Applejack.

"It's like rose up from the dead and went into full god mode!" stated Rainbow as she and everybody else were shocked by what the boy did.

"That wasn't Isaac." said Twilight softly to herself.

Trixie and Sunburst were down for the count as Starlight was more hurt and full of scuff marks as Isaac was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. Isaac and Starlight were so exhausted at this point, for what had only been an hour, to them they it felt like an eternity of constant dueling and fighting each other. The timer was still counting down as both teens were still down and had their eyes closed. Soon both stirred as everybody gasped at seeing the two even think about continuing as they were beaten the hell up. They literally kicked the shit out of each other as they were on their hands and knees as both had pissed off scowls at each other. Both brought a hand up as they gave each other the middle finger as they showed they still wanted the other to die and go to hell.

Timer - 1:05

"Fight Forever! Fight Forever Fight Forever!" chanted one person as soon everybody began to join in on the chant as they really did want to see each other. They even started to chant each of their names as it was split down the middle. "Let's go, Isaac! Starlight Glimmer! Let's go, Isaac! Starlight Glimmer!"

"Let's... duel!!!!!" shouted both teens.

Timer - 0:00

[Buzzer]

"TIME!!!" shouted both Celestia and Luna as one hour had expired.

Isaac and Starlight just collapsed right then and there as they fall facefirst on the grass hard.

"No." said both as they laid there.

The girls just got up from their seats as Luna and Celestia were talking with one another as they were trying to figure out what to do as the one hour time limit had passed as the score was tied with 3 points apiece to each teen. Sunburst had finally come to as he saw Trixie just barely opening her eyes as he saw Starlight on the ground not moving as he ignored his own scuff marks on his skin as she grabbed his glasses and rushed over to his best friend.

"Starlight, talk to me! Please! I can't lose you!" cried the boy as he held his best friend in his chest as she still was not responding.

"Isaac?! Isaac?!" said Twilight as she was the first one to reach their male friend as she grabbed his head and placed it in her lap as she placed her hand over his forehead. She was trying to find a pulse but it was faint as it got Twilight to be worried, soon she pressed her ear to his heart and could hear it beating faintly as it served as the sign that Isaac was still alive and kicking.

"He's alright." said Sunset as the others gathered around him.

Fluttershy pulled out her natural medicine as she began to put some on the scuff marks on Isaac's body to help heal her friend. At that time, both Luna and Celestia had made their decision as they got everybody's attention.

"Everyone, the one hour time limit has passed and the final score is 3 to 3. Both duelists fought valiantly, but based on the condition each are in... it's safe to say that neither can continue... so therefore the duel is..." stated Luna.

"NO!!!!" shouted Isaac and Starlight as they now opened their eyes and were trying to get off the arms of their friends as they stood up and wobbled a bit.

"Isaac!/Starlight!" said the girls and Sunburst as they stabilized their friend when they stood up.

"One more duel!!!" shouted both teens as every body gasped.

"I can't!!" said Celestia.

"One more duel!!!" said both teens as they didn't want this issue to end with a tie breaker. They like everybody wanted a clear cut winner and by god they were going to give it.

Celestia and Luna looked at both teen's eyes as they could see they were serious about this. They both were badly bruised and hurt that it would be illegal to allow them to continue in their currently state. But their eyes... their eyes... told the message. So they looked at each other and nodded.

"Very well, this duel... will continue!" said Luna as that response made the entire people let out a cheer.

"The next person to win, is declared the winner and champion!" stated Celestia.

Both Isaac and Starlight pushed their friends away as they got back into position and activated their duel disks as they projected their color card tray. Both groups were concerned that they needed to get their respective friend sometime to recover, but that was like taking a horse to some water and trying to force it to drink. So, they all just stepped back as they let both fight the last battle. Isaac looked at his deck as he said some final words; Starlight combined some of her Ancient Gear cards in her other deck with her Constellar deck as she was looking to finish this.

"Let's duel!!" shouted both teens.

Isaac's Life Points: 8000-

Starlight's Life Points: 8000-

Turn 1: Starlight

"I'll start, and I play Terraforming so that I can add a field spell to my hand, so I'll choose my Geartown and then play it immediately!" shouted Starlight as the entire field changed. "Next, I'll play Ancient Gear Hunting Hound(1000/1000) so now you take 600 points of damage." said Starlight as her mutt opened its jaws and fired a pillar of fire at Isaac who covered up.
Isaac's Life Points: 7400-

"I then end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 2: Isaac

"My draw, and I'll summon my King's Knight(1600/1400) to the field. Now King's Knight put that mutt done!" shouted Isaac as his warrior then raced forward as it brought its sword down on the mechanical machine as it was destroyed.
Starlight's Life Points: 7400-

"With that I'll also lay a facedown."

Turn 3: Starlight

"My turn, and since you control a monster and I don't, I can special summon my Constellar Siat(100/1600). Then I summon Constellar Shertan(700/1900) and by summoning my Shertan, I can add a 'Constellar' monster from my deck to my hand." said Starlight as her selected card ejected from her duel disk for her to grab. "Now I activate my Siat's special ability, so now I can have it match the level of another Constellar monster so now it becomes Level 3. With that done, I'll now overlay both my Constellar Shertan and Siat in order to build the Overlay Network!" Starlight's two monsters then transformed into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of her. Soon both orbs entered the portal as a pillar of light appeared. "I Xyz Summon, Constellar Hyades(1900/1100, OLU: 2)!!" Starlight now had her monster appear it stared down the boy.

"I'll now attack your King's Knight!" shouted Starlight as her monster took out the boy's creature.
Isaac's Life Points: 7100-

"I now end my turn."

Turn 4: Isaac

"My draw, and I'll play my Magician's Rod(1600/100) in defense mode. Then when I summon my Magician's Rod, I can add a 'Dark Magician' related spell or trap card from my deck to my hand. So I choose my Dark Magical Circle and then immediately play it so now I can look at the top 3 cards of my deck and reveal a 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician' related spell/trap card." Isaac's duel disk then showed his options as he looked at them and made his decision. "I choose to add my Dark Magic Curtain, so now I'll add it to my hand and then put the other cards in any order I choose. Then I'll play Dark Magic Curtain, so now by paying half of my life points, I can special summon my Dark Magician from my deck!" said Isaac as he now had his star monster on the field.
Isaac's Life Points: 3550-

"Now the effect of my Dark Magical Circle activates, so now I'll banish your monster from the duel!" stated Isaac as his magician then raised his staff and made Starlight's monster vanish. "Next, I'll play Magic Formula so that my magician gains 700 more attack points. Now, Mahad! Attack!!" Isaac's monster then levitated into the air as he pointed his staff at Starlight as she was hit with a direct attack as it pushed her several inches along the ground as it made dirt tracks on the grass.
Starlight's Life Points: 3200-

"I now end my turn."

Turn 5: Starlight

"My draw, and now I'll play the spell card, Rank-Up Magic Constellation Eclipse Force! So now I'll take another Constellar Hyades from my Extra Deck and then use it to Xyz Summon a monster that's one rank higher!" Starlight's monster then appeared for a second as it turned into an orb of light as it hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of the girl. Soon it disappeared into it as a pillar of light emerged. Go Rank Up Xyz Evolution, I Xyz Summon, Constellar Praesepe(2400/800, OLU: 1)!!!" Starlight's new monster then appeared as it landed with a thud. "Now, I'll equip my monster with my Ancient Gear Mask. Now not only is my monster safe from being destroyed, but you can't activate any spells or traps until the Damage Step. And my monster can inflict piercing damage and it doubles." said Starlight.

"Then I reveal my facedown, Magician's Combination! Now once per turn when a card or effect is activated, I can tribute my Dark Magician so that I can summon my Dark Magician Girl from my hand." Isaac's magician was then gone as soon it was replaced by his female star monster. Mana saw her master as he was very, very weak as it got her concerned.

"It's... I'm... fine, Mana." said Isaac to his magician girl as she put her hand to his cheek as Mana looked at her master's eyes.

"Let me help." said Mana as she pressed her forehead to Isaac's as she chanted some words as she passed a bit of energy to help her master. "Feel better?"

"A little." smiled the boy as Mana giggled and planted a kiss on his cheek as she returned to her position.

"Now the other effect of my trap allows me to negate the effect of your card. So your Ancient Gear Mask is render useless, and since my Magic Formula was destroyed, I gain 1000 life points. And with my Dark Magician in the graveyard, my Dark Magician Girl gains 300 more attack points." said Isaac.
Isaac's Life Points: 4550-

"You may have negated my spell, but I can still take out your monster. So Praesepe take out his Dark Magician Girl!" stated Starlight as her monster took out Isaac's.
Isaac's Life Points: 4450-

"I now end my turn with a facedown."

Turn 6: Isaac

"My draw, and since I control a Level four or below monster, I can special summon my Mage Annette(1300/1700) in defense mode. And by summoning my Mage Annette, I can draw one more card. Then I'll set one card facedown and end my turn." (Hand 2)

Turn 7: Starlight

"My draw and I'll play Card of Sanctity so that we draw till we're holding six cards in our hands. Then I summon my Ancient Gear Frame(1600/500). But I'm not done, cause I'll also play Double Summon and bring out my Ancient Gear Cannon(500/500)." said Starlight as she had two monsters on her field.

Starlight then looked at a certain card in her hand as she was reminded on what it meant and who gave it to her.

This is for you... Sunburst.

"I now play the spell Star Light, Star Bright!"

"Starlight..." smiled Sunburst, "I'm here and I'll always be." stated the boy.

"Now since Ancient Gear Frame has the same defense points as my Ancient Gear Cannon, my spell lets me match my Cannon's level with that of my Frame. So they're both Level 4 which I'll then overlay both of them to construct the Overlay Network!" shouted Starlight as both of her monsters turned into orbs of light as they hovered in the air as a portal opened up in front of the girl. Both orbs entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "Open a path to the cosmos and gather the light of the stars! I Xyz Summon, Constellar Omega(2400/500, OLU: 2)!!" The golden light burst, revealing a centaur in gold and silver armor with the two sparks of gold light circling it.

"Now to attack, Constellar Omega attack his Magician's Rod." said Starlight.

"In that case, I'll activate my facedown, Spellbinding Circle. Now your attack is negated and Omega loses 700 attack points." said Isaac.

"In response, I'll activate Omega's special ability, so by using one overlay unit, my monsters are unaffected by spells or trap cards this turn." said Starlight as her monster pressed forward and took out Isaac's trap and monster.

"Next, Constellar Praesepe will attack your Mage Annette." said Starlight as her other monster did just that. "Now I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to take out your Dark Magical Circle. Then I'll play Constellar Tempest, so now that I've reached my end phase, I can remove all Xyz materials from both of my monsters so that I can half your life points." said the girl as tons of meteors rained down on Isaac as he took it and was breathing heavily when it ended.
Isaac's Life Points: 2225-

Turn 8: Isaac

"My turn, and I'll play Monster Reborn so that I can bring back my Dark Magician. Then play the spell card, Bond Between Teacher and Student so now I can also bring back my Dark Magician Girl." Isaac now had both of his star monsters on the field as they looked ready to help their master to win. "Then my spell lets me set my Dark Burning Magic, but I'll use it right now so that I can nuke your entire field!" shouted Isaac as he had both of his magicians put their wands together as they casted a huge spell that took out Starlight's entire field.

"When you destroyed my Geartown, I can now special summon an 'Ancient Gear' monster from my hand, deck, or graveyard. So from my deck, I summon my Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound(3000/3000)!" said Starlight as the huge monster rose up in front of her.

"Then good thing, I got this. Thousand Knives so that I can destroy your Ancient Gear Golem!" said Isaac as he took out Starlight's monster with ease.

"With my monster being destroyed, I can add 'Polymerization' to my hand."

Isaac now looked at the field as he had Starlight right where he wanted, no monsters to protect her and no spells or traps for her to activate. All he had to do was call his attack and it would be over. It would be over... so... why didn't he? Everybody was waiting to see what Isaac was going to do as they knew he had to just yell "attack" and he would win. But he just stood there... waiting...

"Well, are you going to attack me or not?!" taunted Starlight.

"No!" said Isaac as it got a shock from everybody. "Cause I got something even better! Jaden, time to lend me your power." said Isaac as he his fist closed and his body lit up with a rainbow coloring as he was tapping into that hidden power. "I play Polymerization!"

"WHAT?!!!" shouted Starlight as once again.

"Time to make you proud, Jay." said Isaac as both of his magicians entered a swirling vortex as multiple colors came out. "I Fusion Summon, The Dark Magicians(2800/2300)!!" Both of Isaac's star monsters now appeared side by side.

"Why would Isaac summon a monster with less attack points?!" asked Rainbow. "He had this thing won if he just called attack."

"I don't know." said Twilight.

"Now, attack her directly!" shouted Isaac.

"Just like last time." smiled Starlight.

"I card I set and that was destroyed thanks to you was my Constellar Nebula! So as you remember, if I find myself for a direct attack, I simply can end the battle phase by taking damage to half of a 'Constellar' monster's attack points in my graveyard. So I choose my Constellar Hyades!" said Starlight.

"I was hoping you'd do that." smiled Isaac.

"Huh?" said Starlight.

"I had a feeling you try the same move you did when you beat me last time. So I played along and made it look like I was going to do what I did, which is why this time I came prepared. I activate my monster's effect, since a spell/trap card or effect was activated, I can now draw a card and then if it's a spell or trap I can set it or if it's a trap or quick-play spell, I can activate it this turn. So here goes." said Isaac as he placed his hand over his deck and drew it. He then looked at it as he smiled and then placed it facedown.

"Seems you got nothing so your attack comes to an end and I only take a small amount of damage." snickered Starlight.
Starlight's Life Points: 300-

"I end my turn."

Turn 9: Starlight

"My draw, and so now I'll banish my Constellar Nebula from my grave to add a Rank-Up Magic card to my hand. Then I'll play Constellar Rasalhague(900/100) and then tribute it so that I can bring back my Constellar Omega. But then I'll give it an upgrade!" The crowd went wild as Starlight’s monster glowed brightly, a golden silhouette weaving in the air around it. “With the galaxy as your guiding light, gallop down the path to the cosmos and take flight among the brightest stars!” She thrust her fist into the air. “Rank-Up, Xyz Evolution!” Constellar Omega burst apart in rays of light, the rays striking the silhouette around them and filling it out. “Using a Constellar Xyz monster I control as the sole Xyz Material, I Xyz Summon, Constellar Ptolemy M7(2700/2000, OLU: 1)!” The shape shattered to reveal a large silver and gold dragon, wings of the night sky spread into the air and its tail coiling down and around Starlight.

"Now, I'll activate my Constellar Ptolemy M7's special ability..."

"I discard Effect Veiler from my hand to negate your monster's effect!" said Isaac as he managed to stop Starlight from activating her monster's effect.

"GRR!!!" growled Starlight. "Fine asshole, I'll end my turn."

Turn 10: Isaac

"My turn, and I'll have my monster take out your Constellar Ptolemy M7!" said Isaac as his monster took out Starlight's dragon.
Starlight's Life Points: 200-

"I end my turn with two facedowns."

Turn 11: Starlight

"My turn and now I'll play the spell Rank-Up Magic Constellation Force so now I can revive my Omega and use it to Xyz summon a monster that's one rank higher!" Starlight's monster appeared as soon it turned into an orb of light as it entered a portal as a pillar of light emerged. "This is the end for you, once this monster strikes the field, all shall be destroyed by its celestial light! Go Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, Annihilate everything in your path, Constellar Ursa Proeliator(4000/3000, OLU: 1)!!" Out emerged a warrior made whose body was made up of the night sky and star as the outline of its body was white lines connecting the stars as it wielded a spear and shield as it rode on a huge bear as it stood at 7 feet tall on its hind legs as it had fangs along with its mouth as it let out a roar as it too had the same shape and appearance as its rider as both wore white and gold armor.

"But I ain't done, cause now I play Chaos Ancient Gear Fusion, so by banishing my 4 Constellar Xyz monsters and discarding my Polymerization, I can now summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound, Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound, Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound and Ultimate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound so that I can then fuse all of them together!" Starlight's four monsters all appeared as together they were sucked into the vortex. "And if you think that's an impressive sight, then just wait till you see what happens after I take all 4 and fuse them together! Once joined, they'll form an Ancient Gear of Goliath proportions! I Fusion Summon! The ground-shaking Chaos Ancient Gear Giant(4500/3000)!" Starlight now had another giant monster on her field as she looked to end Isaac.

"I reveal my facedown Dark Renewal! So now I can sacrifice my monster with your Constellar Ursa Proeliator." said Isaac.

"Not gonna happen, I use my Ursa Proeliator's special ability, so by using its overlay unit, I can negate the effect of your spell." said Starlight as she had her monster get rid of Isaac's trap as his plan backfired.

"Now to end this Chaos Ancient Gear Giant attack his monster! And you can't activate any cards during the battle!" shouted Starlight as her giant slammed its fists on Isaac's monster as she was thrown onto his back, but he rolled through despite his body hurting as he was on one knee.
Isaac's Life Points: 525-

"Now my monster's effect activates, so now I can bring back my Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!" said Isaac as he had his two loyal companions.

"So what, you still lose, cause I'll..."

"Activate my other facedown, Negate Attack! So now the battle phase immediately ends." said Isaac as he managed to end Starlight from attacking.

"So, you found a way. Well, you only bought one turn. It's over come my next turn."

"There is no next turn, Starlight. Cause I just won." said Isaac with a confident smile on his face.

Turn 12: Isaac

"You lose." said Isaac. "I reveal my Ragnarok!" Isaac's entire hand, deck, and graveyard all glowed as soon every single one of his monsters all appeared above him on his field.

"What is this?" asked the girl.

"By banishing all my monsters while I have my two magicians on the field, I can destroy all your monsters on the field!" said Isaac.

"So what? My Chaos Ancient Gear Golem can't be target by your spell, so it'll still stay on the field."

"Which is why I drew this, Dark Magic Twin Burst. So with that my Dark Magician's attack points are equal to your golem's attack strength which leaves my Dark Magician Girl to attack directly and win." said Isaac.

"NO!" shouted the girl as she dropped all the cards in her hand as she truly had no way out.

"Everyone!" shouted Isaac as he called to all of his monsters in his deck. "To battle!"

"Yes, Master Isaac!!" shouted all of the boy's monsters as Mahad and Mana also levitated into the air as they led the charge towards Starlight's field as their comrades used their powers to take out Starlight's Ursa Proeliator while Mahad clashed with Chaos Ancient Gear Golem as that left Mana to head straight towards Starlight as she pointed her wand at point blank at the girl.

"End this duel!!!" shouted Isaac as he glowed with a rainbow coloring as soon a giant explosion went off as the entire field was covered in a white and blinding light that everybody watching all covered their eyes as they looked away.

The attack continued for a good solid 2 minutes before it died down as Starlight was thrown across the grass and hit hard on her side as she laid there. Isaac was still standing as soon he felt the pain finally get to him as he collapsed onto the field. While both were down and completely out, the end result had been determined as their duel disk registered what had happened as it projected it on the big screen for all to see.

Starlight's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Isaac

"The winner and still champion... Isaac!!!" shouted Celestia as she screamed at the top of her lungs as she hugged Luna who both cheered as the entire crowd went nuts. Some confetti came out thanks to Pinkie and party cannons went off as Isaac's portrait was highlighted as the victor.

It truly was a moment. For Isaac and Starlight, having gone through hell itself and hitting each other with everything including the kitchen sink, and they still found the will to continue dueling for one hour and then some until there was a clear winner. Isaac had finally gotten what he deserved, his much needed redemption, he satisfaction of keeping his rank as champion, and him beating Starlight decisively.

The girls all cheered as they were glad to see their friend win. Twilight immediately got out of her seat as she ran onto the field to check up on her boyfriend. Twilight kneeled down by Isaac's side as he was still knocked out. Moments passed, then some more, then more. Then more. Nothing happened, Isaac just laid there lifeless, almost like... he.. was dead. Twilight was beginning to worry when she heard a grunt and saw Isaac turn his head and open his eyes gently as he saw a blurry image of Twilight.

"Twi..."

"Isaac!" said the girl as she put his arm over her shoulder as she was helping her boyfriend to stand up as he laid lifeless with his arm dangling. Seems Isaac was also able to keep his promise to Twilight that he would return; who said nice guys had to finish last.

"Starlight?" asked Sunburst as he was checking on his friend as he was carrying her in his arms. For a while the girl wasn't responding, soon he heard a moan as Starlight was coming to as she too opened her eyes to a blurry view before clearing up.

"Sunburst?"

"You're okay." cried the boy as he was glad to have his friend alive.

"What... happened..."

"It's over." was all he said as that was the clear message. Sunburst looked forward as he saw Twilight and Isaac staring at them as he could see Isaac was worn out just like his best friend.

All four looked at each other, not a word was said. Nothing but the look in their eyes. Silence. Silence. Silence. Isaac then did something unexpected as he extended his right arm that was dangling to his side as it was shaking. Starlight saw this and she too did the same as she extended her right arm as it too shook from exhaustion and the two met. They both gave a firm handshake and didn't break it. They held their hands together as their eyes told the story. After one hour, there was only one thing on their mind. One thing that could define what was clear between the two duelist who wanted to beat the other. And that was... Respect.

With a nod from both Starlight and Isaac then broke contact as they were being lead in opposite directions as that moment was something special to all four of them as they would carry it for the rest of their lives.

"Sunburst."

"Easy, Starlight. I got you." said the boy as he was carrying his friend as he was taking them home.

"Thank you..." smiled the girl at her best friend. "I'm glad to have someone like you in my life." Starlight then brought her hand to cusp his cheek as she did the one thing Sunburst didn't see coming. She pressed her lips to his as they held contact for a few seconds before Starlight pulled away and rested herself in Sunburst's arms.

"Don't worry. I'm never letting you go." said Sunburst as he looked up at the night sky as he saw the stars shining above and smiled as his wish had come true.

Twilight had managed to bring Isaac inside of the school as she was still having his arm around him as Isaac felt zapped. She then laid her boyfriend against the wall as he had his head down and eyes closed as Isaac was fading. Twilight then bent down and lifted Isaac's head as he opened them as he was breathing heavily and very slowly.

"Twili..."

"Shh." said Twilight as she pressed her fingers to Isaac's lips to stop him from speaking. She then put her hand to caressed the side of his face. Isaac then used whatever little strength he had left as he gripped Twilight's hand and placed it near his heart. "Isaac. Look at me. We're going to be okay." reassured the lavender girl as he smiled before his arm dropped to his side as he looked forward like he was staring at a bright white light.

"You can rest now." said Twilight as Isaac then closed his eyes as his head fell down and his cap came off his head as it hit the floor next to him. The spark surrounding Isaac had now left him.

Twilight had some tears in her eyes as she kissed Isaac's forehead. She then brought him into her chest as she laid Isaac's head on her bosom. She had one hand wrapped around his head while the other rubbed his hair as she was gently, smoothly humming to her boyfriend as he was now resting.

Resting. Resting. Resting.

Author's Note:

Oh boy! What a duel and what an ending scene which is kinda of fitting given what the title of this chapter is called. I don't know about you all, but I think I need a moment of rest to let all of this sink in. Truly an epic moment and a duel, that showcased what two of the best duelist can do when they go all out. The end result, doesn't matter. But what matters is that both individuals left it all out on the table to get you the readers some entertainment.
