Turn 22: Double the fun, double the duel!(1)

'''Yu-Gi-Oh! Infinity Hunter''' ARC 2 “Infinite Search.”

Turn 22 “Double the fun, double the duel!(1)”

Gillian was sitting in the garden, sitting in the sun. As she had closed her eyes, she had not noticed Jennifer coming into the garden. Jennifer sat down opposite of Gillian as she was carrying a tray with drinks.

“Where are Blake and the others?” Gillian asked, having noticed Jennifer sat down opposite of her. “I don’t remember them leaving this place.”

“Oh right. Blake tried to tell you, but he tried at the moment you fell asleep in the sun, so he allowed you to sleep. He told me he and the others were going for a stroll.” Jennifer handed Gillian a drink and she took one for herself. “Meanwhile, Dyllan agreed to come over here as well, so I’ll be having some fun.”

“Sure go ahead.” Gillian smiled at the antics of her little sister, although three years younger as her, she still treated Jennifer as much younger. “So how did you and Dyllan meet?”

“Dyllan and I met in college, back when I lived with auntie Muriel.” Jennifer took another sip from her drink. “You know, I actually liked auntie Muriel, she actually accepted me unlike our father.”

“Yeah I liked her too.” Gillian remembered their aunt as she was still enjoying the sun. “At least she acted normal, she acted not like mom and dad, who have been set on making my reputation big and ignoring you.”

“Well yeah, I am glad we are over that.” Jennifer smiled and she heard a ring, noticing someone was at the front door. “It seems that Dyllan is here. You want to go, or shall I open the door?”

“Oh, you go.” Gillian closed her eyes again as she waited for Jennifer to return with her boyfriend Dyllan. ‘ ''Geeh, she has changed a lot in these six weeks. Waking up from that coma, did she get a slap on the head wherever she was?''’



“It is time.”

In a dark room filled with black pillars a single man was standing, his head bent. He was holding a single card in his hand as he looked at a pool of water on the ground in front of him. There were images of the house where Gillian was staying at that moment.

“It is time to reveal my back-up plan.” The man raised his card in the air, revealing it to be Silent Void Wavern! The man was none other than Gakyru. “You were all infected by a mark once you passed through the Door to the Other Side and now your beloved ones will pay the price for your misdeeds.”

He looked through the pool of water focusing on Jennifer who had opened the door. When she turned around, it was revealed there was a small cross behind her ear. He reached out with his hand, making purple energy appear in his hand. The cross in the neck of Jennifer glowed as well and then he looked at Dyllan who had entered as well. Also Dyllan was revealed to have a similar cross-shaped mark behind his ear.

“Blake Connolly, you have no idea, you have no idea what is upon you now.” Gakyru spoke in an ominous voice. “With these new servants, I will find the Infinity Core one way or another. There was a reason why they returned to the world of the living and it was to serve me in creating the perfect world.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">He stepped away from the water as it slowly disappeared. He then focused on another point in the room, on a mirror, revealing there to be an image of Jason in it. As Jason was turning around in the mirror, a cross-shaped mark was revealed behind his ear as well.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, my servants. Do my bidding. Become the opponents of your own friends. Dare them to defeat their own friends.” Gakyru spoke and he pocketed the Silent Void Wavern card into his deck box. “Bring me victory in this fight and we will create the perfect world.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It took a while now did it not?” Gillian joked as she heard Jennifer and Dyllan return into the garden. “Did you end up snuggling each other at the front door?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian was a little surprised by the serious and rather rough voice of Jennifer and Dyllan who at the same time answered. She looked up, seeing that Jennifer and Dyllan were both equipped with a duel disk.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What is it this time?” Gillian slowly got out of her garden chair and walked down to them. “Quit joking around, guys, this is not funny.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is not supposed to be funny,” Jennifer continued. Her glare was empty, it had no emotion in it. Gillian grabbed her little sister by both arms and shook her a little. However, when Jennifer grabbed Gillian`s arm, it hurts.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Hey, that hurts!” Gillian protested and Jennifer smirked. “What is wrong with you guys?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We serve Master Gakyru now. He has shown us the way,” Dyllan slowly spoke and Gillian was perplexed. “You are to go out of our way. We must find Blake Connolly.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ ''Gakyru?! What kind of trickery has he played on my sister!''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ Gillian once again tried to roughly wake Jennifer up, by shaking her once again, but it did not work. “What? Why do you want to find Blake? Since when do you serve Gakyru? He is the bad guy, not me! Not Blake or any of the others!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We serve Master Gakyru now. If you do not stand down…..” Dyllan grabbed Gillian`s arm and tackled her. “We will undertake action to remove you from our path.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Please don’t do this.” Gillian begged, lying on the ground, reaching for her own Duel Monsters deck. “Please don’t make me do this.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We will remove you by force from our path.” Dyllan activated his duel disk and Jennifer picked the duel disk from her arm and threw it to Gillian, who got up and equipped herself with the duel disk thrown. “By force.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You have no idea who you are dealing with now,” Gillian activated the duel disk and inserts her deck as well as auto-shuffling it. “If you do not listen to reason, I will make you listen by force!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 4000 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Dyllan – 4000

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">--

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Blake, Ken, Lance and Yuni were walking through the shopping mall as they all had an ice cream. It was a sunny day and many people were on the streets. Yuni had a few shopping bags in her left hand while eating the ice cream with her right hand.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“So Gillian did not want to join us?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No, I told you, she was asleep when I tried to invite her.” Blake answers to Lance, who questioned him. “I did not really feel like waking her up. Besides, she had her sister to worry about.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Ever since Jennifer met Dyllan, she has been acting a little out of place sometimes. It is almost like they met in an entirely different place.” Ken thought about Jennifer with the last part rather laughing. “Hey, you don’t suppose they…..”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Met each other after passing through the Door to the Other Side?” Blake finished Ken`s sentence. “Yeah, that thought came up to me too. It does explain why they know each other so well now.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah,” Yuni agreed and she took another lick from her ice cream. “But if that is true, why did Grace not know him?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t know, but for all we know this might be bogus either,” Blake answered in response to Yuni`s question. “Let’s just focus on the things at hand. In one month this  Victoria<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> Tournament in Hisehade City will begin and we need to work on our decks. And if Troy was truthfully against Grace, I have to face him in order to find out wherever Gakyru is.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“True,” Ken answered and he smirked. “So you are planning on participating in the  Victoria<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> Tournament? It means we could face each other in the tournament somewhere.” Blake nodded and tapped on his deck. “Yeah, I know, I’ll have to be afraid of your Blackthunder’s. However, I have not been scared of it ever since you lost against Troy.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Okay, you first beat Troy and then we’ll talk.” Blake threatened his friend playfully. “I haven’t seen you taking up arms against him.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh, I’ll beat the crap out of him if I have to face him. If he encounters me, there will be nothing left of him.” Ken proposed and Blake smirked. “Okay, I’ll leave a piece behind for you, but not much.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah, yeah.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As they turned around a corner they were overshadowed by a gigantic battle machine. It was Sky Devil Fortress Ziggurat (2500/2000), pointing all of his cannons at two duelists facing a brown haired duelist.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 2400

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Duelist 1 – 800 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Duelist 2 – 400

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Sky Devil Fortress Ziggurat, turn them into scrap metal!” Jason ordered and he pointed to both the duelists as the cannons fired and blasted the lifepoints to pieces. “That`s one, and now  Double Attack<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, to attack you another time. Thousand Cannon!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 2400

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Duelist 1 – 800 -> 0 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Duelist 2 – 400 -> 0

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Hey Jason.” Blake greeted their friend and the cousin of Grace. “That was a good duel it seems. Why did you challenge them?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Blake Connolly,” Jason spoke at an ominous tone as his eyes glared over to Blake. His pupils changed from blue to bright purple. “By order of Master Gakyru, I challenge you to a duel.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“ By order of Master Gakyru!<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">” Blake and Ken both spurted out at the same time. “Jason, what has gotten into you. That is not funny and you know it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“By order of Master Gakyru I will remove you from this world.” As Jason approached his lifepoints counter went back up to 4000 and he shuffled his hand, field and graveyard back into his deck. “You will be the first victims of the new order.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As he walked forward he was grabbed by Lance and Ken, tackling him and turning him on his back. Ken then saw something behind Jason`s ear. A cross-shaped mark. Jason`s eyes flashed with purple light and Ken and Lance were forced to release him from their grip.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Blake, I don’t know what is wrong with him,” Ken spoke against his friend and he pointed at Jason`s ear. “But there is something behind his ear.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I have no business with you,” Jason pushed Ken away and Lance as well, who is though one head longer then Jason. “It is you, Blake Connolly who I wish to face.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Blake backed down as Jason approached him, and tripped over a branch. He shook his head and saw Jason approaching him, not being able to get up soon enough to defend himself.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t think so,” Blake suddenly was surprised to hear Yuni. Yuni stood in front of him and activated her duel disk and inserted her deck. “If you want to get to Blake, you will have to get through me.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Don’t push me, little girl.” Jason threatened Yuni and he raised his duel disk. “My deck has more power than your deck will ever contain.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Try me,” Yuni challenged Jason and she raised her duel disk too. “Try and beat me then, Jason.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I am certain now, that is not Jason.” Blake tells the others and shot another glare at the two duelists in front of him. “He would never talk down like that to his friends.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is Blake Connolly I wish to face and defeat,” Jason once again tried to get around Yuni, but the brave and slender girl still stood in his way. “Very well then.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I knew you could not refuse me,” Yuni joked and raised her duel disk, sweeping off 5 cards, placing them in her hand. “And don’t think you have beaten me already, you never dueled against me.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Nonetheless, you will lose.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 4000 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 4000

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I start my turn,” Jason sweeps off another card and places a card in defense mode on the field. “Come out, Ulti  Gigantes<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">(500/500)!” A golden colored golem-like machine appeared at his side of the field. “Now by its effect, when it is successfully summoned, I can summon two more copies to the field.” Two more similar golem-like machines appeared at his side. They all had one single red light bulb at their head.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“These look impressive,” Yuni sounded rather unimpressed. “I have seen nicer gold.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“ Double Summon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> activate. This means I can summon once more. I tribute two of my Ulti  Gigantes<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> to summon forth Machine Cannon (0/3000) in defense mode.” Two of the golem disappeared to make place for a silver colored cannon with golden light bulbs all over the place. “Now by tributing my remaining Ulti  Gigantes<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> I can deal 800 points of damage to you!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 4000 -> 3200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next my spell card Altar of Mist. This card remains in play for the upcoming three standby phases. And at the third standby phase I can place 1 Ritual Spell Card from my deck in my hand.” A mysterious altar appeared next to him. “And you cannot destroy it by spell or trap cards or monster effects.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Which makes it virtually impossible to destroy.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Correct,” Jason smirked and lowered his duel disk. “This’ll do it for now. I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then,” Yuni draws a new card from her deck and her deck glowed. “Since I control no Field Spell Cards, I can add this card from my deck to my hand. And I play it of course. Book of the Silver Kingdom!” A book appeared next to her, filling the entire place with mountains and a mighty castle.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“She plays a book deck?!” Ken was astonished.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not exactly,” Blake tells his friend. “There is much more to her then you think.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next my spell card Chapter I – Guard the Silver Temple. At the beginning of each turn I can summon 1 Silver Knight Token (1500/500) to the field.” A knight in shining silver armor appeared at his side of the field. “Since I activated it just yet, Chapter I grants me 1 Silver Knight Token.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“So what does this Fantasy deck of Yuni actually base around?” Lance wondered and asked it directly to Blake.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“She has written those stories herself. The stories were published according to her in some kind of books in one overlapping world. I do not understand myself, but she can combine the forces of one series of cards used in the duel by another series of cards when they each reach Chapter VI or VII.” Blake grabs his head. “Oh, just look at how she plays alright?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now since I did not add a Chapter card from my deck, I simply choose to gain 1000 lifepoints due to my Book of the Silver Kingdom.” Yuni smirked as lifepoints went up and Jason smirk falters. “Yeah I know, I am good.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 3200 -> 4200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next I summon Royal Book Keeper (1600/700).” A wizard in green robes appeared at her side of the field. He was holding a globe in his hand. “And I equip him with my Globe of Prediction. Now when you draw a card, I must guess its card type.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“There is a little chance then that you guess right.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Correct, but an incorrect guess is a missed chance,” Yuni sighs and looks at her Silver Knight Token. “You see when the Silver Kingdom was invaded by  The Forces of Darkness<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, the Silver Knights tried to stop their forces. The Royal Book Keeper predicted they would stay guard by the Silver Temple and they would stand strong there.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I really do not care,” Jason answered, being annoyed by Yuni`s speech. “Hurry up, so that I can move on to Blake.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I draw.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Which activates my Globe of Prediction,” Yuni kicked in and the globe Royal Book Keeper was holding glowed with purple energy. “I think that is a spell card.” Green energy surrounded the card Jason had drawn. “So it is a spell card.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes,  Pot of Greed<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">,” Jason revealed the card to Yuni. “But I suppose you Book of the Silver Kingdom kicks in first?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, I gain 2 more Silver Knight Tokens (2x 1500/500).”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Good, then I activate  Pot of Greed<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> and draw two cards. Unfortunately for you, I do not need to show them to you, because your Globe of Prediction does not work outside the draw phase, right?” Jason questioned Yuni and she nodded. “Yes, you are an interesting duelist indeed. Master Gakyru could make good use of you.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Break out of it, Jason!” Blake encouraged his friend. “You have an own free will.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, I have and I am using it right now. Now with this standby phase over, only one more standby phase remains until I can add one ritual spell card from my deck to my hand.” He then slapped a card on his duel disk. “I summon forth  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> – Returner (600/1400). In addition to attacking you directly, when it is send to the graveyard I can summon forth a  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from my graveyard.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“To bad you have none in your graveyard.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“To bad for you, you are partly wrong.” Jason inserted a card in his duel disk. “ Graceful Charity<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, by drawing three cards I force myself to discard two cards.” He flashed a monster card, showing it to be  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. “First things first,  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> – Returner, attack her directly!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 4200 -> 3600

Since  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> – Returner is send to the graveyard, I can summon forth  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from my graveyard (2400/1500).” As the infamous android appeared on his side of the field, Yuni`s lifepoints dropped once again.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 3600 -> 2800

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn,” Yuni draws a new card. “Aha, I do not choose to summon forth Silver Knight Tokens to my field, however I do remove my Chapter I – Guard the Silver Temple from play to add Chapter II – Miracle Lance to my hand.” The spell card disappeared and Yuni looked through her deck, adding a card to her hand. “Now I activate Chapter II – Miracle Lance.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Which has a special ability I suppose?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Two in fact. One is that I can draw 1 card for every Silver Knight Token on my field, which is three at the moment.” Yuni draw three more cards from her deck as the Silver Knight Tokens all pointed their weapons at her deck. “Next I tribute all three of my Silver Knight Tokens on the field to summon forth Silver Temple Knight (2600/2200)!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">A bigger swordsman appeared on her side of the field. It had similar armor as the Silver Knight Tokens, however this had golden trims around the armor and a golden helmet, in the form of a crown.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now once per turn I can summon one Silver Knight Token (1500/500) to the field.” Another  Familiar Knight<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> appeared on his side of the field. “Now Silver Temple Knight, destroy his  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">!” As Jason made no attempt to stop it, the attack connected and the infamous android was destroyed.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 4000 -> 3800

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Good my turn then,” Jason draws his new card and Yuni`s Globe of Prediction glowed. She thought for a moment.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I choose trap card.” The card glowed red and the Globe of Prediction was destroyed. “Oh damn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Since my Altar of Mist`s effect ended  Last Turn<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, I can add 1 ritual spell card from my deck to my hand.” He searched his deck and added a card to his hand. “Now I summon  Ritual Raven<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. Next for my ritual monster, I activate the ritual spell card, Machina Reconstruction Program, and I offer  Ritual Raven<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> which counts as the entire tribute to summon forth Machina Guard Mech (0/4000) in defense mode.” A mechanical structure appeared on his side of the field, with two laser cannons at each side.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“That thing is huge!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I never saw Jason use that card before.” Blake claimed and Lance and Ken looked at him. “No, really. I never saw him use that card before.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“By removing an Ulti  Gigantes<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from the graveyard from play I add 1 Machina monster from my deck to my hand.” He pocketed a card from his graveyard and added one card to his hand. “Now I summon  Ancient Gear Soldier<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1300/1400) in attack mode and use it as tribute fodder to deal you 800 points of damage.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">--

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What does that mean?” Rebecca asked, looking at and reading a print-out of one of the few super-computers in the lab. “Does it have anything to do with each other?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“More important…..” Paul started to tell her. “What do they have to do with each other? You said there was one box empty, you could open it with ease. It is like with the legend of the Crimson Dragon. We still are not sure what dots connect the Crimson Dragon with the recent findings and happenings.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We are getting off topic….”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I know, but you should meet a good friend of mine. You might even know him, he is rather famous for Enerdy.” Paul gloated over his knowledge. “He built a massive project and is still working on that.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Enerdy, I presume is for many goals?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, Enerdy functions as the driving force behind the everyday Duel Runner, but for many more things as well.” Paul looked back at the photo. “But again we are getting off topic. The connection between what happened and those boxes…… maybe if we got a reading around Eonis at the same time, we could put them against each other and see what it is all about.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“That would be handy, but as I do not have the equipment for it, you would have to come back with me.” Rebecca told Paul and Paul nodded. He then looked with suspicion to the door. “What?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“There are always people listening in. I have been followed since the moment I returned from Eonis. I do not know by whom, but I have been followed.” Paul guided Rebecca back outside, into the fresh air. “Come, let’s go for a stroll.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">--

She held a golden bow and the arrows ended with a dark red emerald.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“She still plays those LIGHT attribute monsters.” Jennifer teased. “That is nothing you cannot take, Dyllan.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Once per turn I can deal you 400 points of damage per LIGHT attribute monster on the field. Unlucky for me I only have one monster on the field, which means 400 points of damage.” Gillian smirked as the arrow was fired, hitting Dyllan.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then,” Dyllan draws his sixth card from his deck and opens the field spell card slot. “I activate  Fusion Gate<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.” They were surrounded by a ring of light and dark clouds above them. “Now I do not need  Polymerization<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> to fuse monsters on my field or hand, however the fusion material monsters are removed from play.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You play a Fusion deck…..” Gillian realized and she looks at the field spell. “Very interesting.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now by removing my three  Giant Soldier of Stone<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from play due to  Fusion Gate<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, I Fusion Summon Giant Stone Guardian (2000/2200) in attack mode.” As the three rock giant soldiers were pocketed a new monster entirely made out of stone appeared on Dyllan`s side of the field. “Giant Stone Guardian has a unique ability when it is in battle and being attacked by a different monster.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“So I can only see that effect when I attack it.” Gillian shakes her head and hears the laughing of Jennifer, her sister or at least what she thought was her sister. “I still can’t believe you are doing this, Jennifer.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is Master Gakyru who wants us to do this,” Jennifer tells her older sister with a rather serious voice. “Master Gakyru has given us our goals and so the perfect world will be created through the powers of both the Silent and the Infinity Core.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“How do you…..?” Gillian wondered and she nodded. “Master Gakyru informed you.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It does not matter now,” Dyllan flipped out two other cards from his hand. “Now by removing these two,  Dark Assailant<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">(1200/1200) and  Dark Bat<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1000/1000), I fusion summon Dark Winged Assassin.” A new warrior appeared on the field. He had a skull like mask on his face while wielding a leather black sword and had bat like wings on his back. “Now this card can deal 300 points of damage to you each turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 4000 -> 3700

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Good, my turn then again.” Gillian draws a new card from her deck. “I activate the spell card  Solar Recharge<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. I discard one Lightsworn monster from my hand to the graveyard and draw two cards. Then I send the top two cards from my deck to the graveyard.” As she slid two cards into her graveyard, a light started to shine on her field.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now since I discarded cards due to an spell card effect, I can special summon this card from my hand. Jalina, Lightsworn Cursebreaker (800/2000) in defense mode.” A new fairy Lightsworn appeared on her side of the field, holding a golden bow and arrow and pointed it at the graveyard. “Next my  Fairy Archer<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">`s effect, I can inflict 400 points of damage per LIGHT attribute monster on my field to you!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Dyllan – 3600 -> 2800

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I can still normal summon this turn.” Gillian slapped a new monster card on her duel disk. “ Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">(1850/1300) appear!” A new warrior, similarly dressed as the other Lightsworns appeared on her side of the field.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Hmmm, your deck still focuses around these Lightsworn cards.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh yes,” Gillian agreed and then inserted another card into her duel disk. “I equip my Garoth with  Light Laser<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, which means the moment I attack you with Garoth, I can remove that monster at the end of the Damage Step. Go Garoth, destroy his Giant Stone Guardian!” As the attack connected, Gillian`s lifepoints dropped.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 3700 -> 3550

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Good my turn then again,” Dyllan draws his next card. He was holding the only card he held with trembling hands. “ Pot of Greed<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">activate.” He shifts two more cards from his deck. “Good, very good. Now I equip my Dark Winged Assassin with  Fusion Weapon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, increasing its power by 1500 (ATK: 2200 -> 3700).”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Good move,” Gillian fairly admitted. “Definitely because your Dark Winged Assassin is a Level 6 monster.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Correct and now I attack your  Fairy Archer<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">!” Dyllan ordered and the Dark Winged Assassin raised its new devil hand and pointed it at Gillian`s fairy, destroying it. “Now do you choose to activate your  The Fountain in the Sky<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 3550 -> 1250

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 1250 -> 1950

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I end my turn with this face down card now.” Dyllan concluded his turn and lowered his duel disk to see what Gillian would be going to do.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn again, I suppose.” Gillian shifted off a new card from her deck. “Look at that. Starlight Unicorn in attack mode.” A golden tanned unicorn appeared on her side of the field. It had a long silver horn. “Now when this card is successfully summoned, I can summon another LIGHT attribute monster to my side of the field.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“A recruiter, interesting.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah, it seemed only natural,” Gillian joked and she picked the card from her hand she wanted. “Come out,  Trust Guardian<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">(0/800).” A purple hooded fairy appeared on her side of the field. “Now I activate the spell card Level Pact and discard one card from my hand to increase the level of my  Trust Guardian<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> by one (LV: 3 -> 4).”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is a Tuner,” Jennifer warned Dyllan and Dyllan nodded. “Be aware that she likes to summon out either one of her favorite monsters.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I tune in my  Trust Guardian<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> with my Starlight Unicorn!

Now by removing my Dark Winged Assassin from my graveyard from play, I can increase the attack power of my Dark Winged Assassin by the attack power of Giant Stone Guardian until the end of this turn (ATK: 3700 -> 5900). Now Giant Stone Guardian, attack her  Avenging Knight Parshath<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">! Rock Crusher!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Hmmm, I think not. Armor Break<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> activate!

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 1950 -> 150

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I won’t underestimate her. With the new powers Master Gakyru has given me, I cannot be defeated.” Dyllan proudly claimed and he looked at his one card hand. “I set this card face down and end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then,” Gillian swept off a new card from her deck and added it to her hand. “I release my Jalina, Lightsworn Cursebreaker to special summon  Kuraz the Light Monarch<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (2400/1000).” A majestic looking armored warrior appeared on her side of the field. It had a king-like helmet and raised its fists.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“A Monarch?!” Dyllan questioned Jennifer. “You never told me she carried one of the Monarch`s with her.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Kuraz`s effect, I can destroy two cards on the field. For each card that was destroyed, I can draw one card.” Gillian pointed to the face down card and  Fusion Weapon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. “I destroy your face down card and Dark Winged Assassin!” Both cards were destroyed, leaving Dyllan defenseless. “Now since Kuraz cannot attack when summoned, I attack you with my  Avenging Knight Parshath<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Dyllan – 2800 -> 200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I equip Kuraz with Armlet of the Lightsworn. When equipped to a LIGHT monster, the equipped monster gains 200 attack and defense points per Lightsworn monster in my graveyard, and to my count that is two (ATK: 2400 -> 2800/DEF: 1000 -> 1400).” Gillian lowered her duel disk as the Monarch was equipped with a new armlet.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Impressive.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 150 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Dyllan – 200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">--

Paul pointed out some of the famous points, like a statue of Yugi Mutoh at the point where Yugi dueled Joey Wheeler.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah I heard about that of course. Yugi and Joey dueled each other, because some guy called Marik was the one forcing them to duel, mind controlling Joey.” Rebecca reminded herself of the history. She knew pretty good what happened in that duel, except she had never been on side. “I would not want to be in that position.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Me neither.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Imagine if one of them would be holding an ancient deck from the island Eonis,” Rebecca placed Paul for the question. “What if Yugi or Joey or even Marik would have controlled the DARK Attribute deck that was gone from the Eonis island? What would have happened then?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I imagine the history would have been changed,” Paul went with Rebecca in her thoughts. “I imagine that either Yugi or Joey would entirely have slain each other, depending on what kind of power this Attribute deck would have held.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Place it in everyday`s context,” Rebecca continued her thoughts. “Say what if Sylpher Stead would have controlled the DARK Attribute deck, what if he would have gone against, mmmm, let’s see, Gabriel Torres or Hendrik Reed, would he have won the duels?” Paul nodded and knew she was referring to some of the best duelists of that time.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Reed and Torres both were part of Team All Star, the team that won the first five Riding Duel GP’s.” Paul continued. “Depending on what kind of power this DARK Attribute deck contains, they would have won the five next ones as well. If Team Wolf Shadow would not have intervened, they would have anyway.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Nah, but I do follow the Torres brothers, Alexis and Gabriel are two of the best duelists of their times. Gemknight and Three Dragon decks, what do you think?” Paul laughed and he then nodded. “Yeah, I have DVD’s of all of their duels.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Recorded or originals?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I believe it is my turn then.” Yuni draws a new card. “Instead of adding a new chapter card from my deck to my hand I choose to gain 1000 lifepoints due to my Book of the Silver Kingdom. Next I remove my Chapter II – Miracle Lance from play to add Chapter III – The Silver Throne to my hand.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 2200 -> 3200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Another Chapter card, what exactly does she plan to do with these cards?” Lance asked Blake and he shook his head. “I know you put a lot of trust in her, but her monsters have not proven to be powerful enough to beat Jason`s Machina Guard Mech and Machine Cannon.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Trust me, you have not seen everything yet.” Blake answered and smirked as he nodded to Yuni. “You have by long not seen everything she has yet.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I activate Silver Temple Knight`s effect and summon another Silver Knight Token (1500/500) to the field. And now up to chapter three, Chapter III – The Silver Throne.” As their surroundings changed, a big silver throne appeared on her side of the field. “As long as The Silver Throne is on the field, I do not need Ritual Spell Cards to summon forth Silver Knight Ritual Monsters.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Interesting,” Jason pondered and he looked at Yuni. “So your deck runs Ritual Monsters as well?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh yes,” Yuni claimed and she pointed to her three Silver Knight Tokens. “Now by tributing these three fellows, resulting in a total level of three, to summon forth Silver Knight – Prism Paladin (1400/1000)!” As the three Tokens vanished, a new knight took their place. He was rather bulkier and heavier armored then the three tokens. “Now once per turn I can deal you 400 points of damage for every monster on your field.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 3800 -> 3000

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh yes,” Blake encouraged Yuni and she did a thumbs-up to him. “Now he has to watch his back as he will get heavier damage as he summons more monsters.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now for my Silver Temple Knight`s Temple Master Sword effect. I can decrease your Machina Guard Mech`s defense power by 100 points times the level of the Silver Temple Knight (DEF: 4000 -> 3200).” Yuni laughed as the Machina monster lowered his cannon a little. “I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then.” Jason shifted off a new card. “Now by Machina Guard Mech’s special effect, I can lower its defense power by 1000 (DEF: 3200 -> 2200) to add 1 Machina monster from my deck to my hand.” He searched through his deck and added one card to his deck. “Now  Double Summon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. First I summon  X-Head Cannon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1800/1500) in attack mode.” A blueish machine appeared on his side of the field, raising both the barrels down to Silver Knight – Prism Paladin.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It still is not enough to beat my Silver Temple Knight!” Yuni laughed and she pointed to the somewhat stronger knight, only 800 points. “You’ll need another 900 points at least to beat it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I use my second summon of  Double Summon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> and summon forth  Second Booster<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. However, it stays not for long on the field as I tribute it to increase my  X-Head Cannon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">`s attack power by 1500 (ATK: 1800 -> 3300).” As the plane disappeared into the cannon holder`s body, the power of the  X-Head Cannon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> increased. “Now  X-Head Cannon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, attack and destroy that Silver Temple Knight!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 3200 -> 2500

I now end my turn.” Jason lowered his duel disk and waited for Yuni to start her turn.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I suppose it is my turn now again.” Yuni draws her next card from her deck and looks at it. “Now I choose to activate the effect of Book of Silver Kingdom and add a new Chapter card to my hand, in fact Chapter IV – The Secret Scepter. But before I go into a new chapter, I choose to activate this handy spell card Book of Shadows. Once per turn 1 Shadow-Counter is placed on that card.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Book of Shadows….” Blake tried to remember what Yuni told him about that card. “Oh wait. The Book of Shadows is an artifact coming from the shadow side of the land Masule. A feared artifact remaining in the Silver Temple for a long time.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You really have had a lot of time with Yuni, now have you not?” Ken teased and Blake looked at him. “Okay, I have heard her stories as well.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I know.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next up, my Chapter IV – The Secret Scepter card.” The card activated and a glass case in which a scepter was resting appeared on her side of the field. “Once per turn this card gains one Silver-Counter.” A silver light appeared next to the case. “Now for my Prism Paladin`s effect, I deal you 1200 points of damage.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 3000 -> 1800

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then,” Jason draws his next card. “Activate  Frontline Base<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">`s effect, I summon forth  Y-Dragon Head<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1500/1600) and I equip it to my  X-Head Cannon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, increasing its attack and defense points by 400 (ATK/DEF: 1800/1500 -> 2200/1900).” The red dragon machine combined itself with, forming  XY-Dragon Cannon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (2200/1900).

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Correct. Come out  Z-Metal Tank<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1500/1300)!

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“She can get rid of this Guard Mech easy next turn. Even Prism Paladin is strong enough to beat it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“But I am not done yet, by discarding the card I just got from Guard Mech’s effect, I can destroy one card on your field. As I like your Book and see no real trouble in it, I destroy your Silver Knight – Prism Paladin.” Jason ordered as the cannons on the XYZ destroyed the knight. “Now I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn.” Yuni confidently draws a new card. “By now my Book of Shadows has acquired the final Shadow-Counter I need to bring back Silver Knight – Prism Paladin (1400/1000).” The old knight returned to his side of the field. “Also my Silver Throne spell card gains another Silver-Counter, meaning it has a total of three Silver-Counters now.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What are you going to give that card up as well?” Jason asked Yuni, but Yuni smirked, shaking her head.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not yet. Next I choose to activate the effect of Book of the Silver Kingdom again and add a Chapter card to my hand.” She shifted through her deck and added a card to her hand. “Now Chapter V – Hall of Wishes activate. Once per turn I can randomly select one card type and add one random card of the selected type to my hand. I declare monster.” A card flipped out of his deck. “I summon forth Forbidden Summoner (1000/1500) in defense mode.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">A magician appeared in dark red robes and a golden hood. He had a dark blue staff in his hand and a green jewel was on top of the staff.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now for my Prism Paladin`s effect, I deal you 400 points of damage per monster on your side of the field!”

Not only can my Forbidden Summoner not be chosen as an attack target, it also gains 300 defense points (DEF: 1500 -> 1800). Now I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 600 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 2500

The laboratory contained many machines, including one with a glowing core and many screens. The Professor was at the other side of the laboratory scanning a card, a Synchro Monsters card.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“How are you doing with it?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I do not care about painful, Professor.” Troy honestly replied and he took out his deck. “I choose revenge to be one of my means of reaching my goals.” He shifted through his deck and picked out two cards, Cyber Lunar Dragon and  Cyber End Dragon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.

It is all part of a greater good, and you know that.” The Professor continued and he looked at a big screen. “A greater good that leads to a better future for us all.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah well, technology seems to be failing to keep up with those guys,” Troy pointed out to a different screen which showed the duels between Gillian and Dyllan and the duel between Jason and Yuni. “Look at that.” He pointed at the cross-like symbol behind their ear. “What is that?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is an ancient mark, a mark from the Dead Zone,” the Professor did not sound happy. He sat down on a leather chair, his lab coat spread wide over the seat. “That is not good.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Why not?”

The Dead Zone is in fact the borderlands between the living and the dead. Whoever unleashed those marks onto the earth, is after the synthetic counterpart of what I am producing here.” The Professor pointed to the ball of light in one of the machines.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“But that is the socalled Cyber Core….”

However so far I have been unable to construct even one percentage of the estimated power of the original Core`s.” The Professor looked at it again. “Let’s say the Cyber Core can help us in our goals, in both our goals. However if we even want to set foot with our developments and experiments in the real world we need to get rid of those marks.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Why is that, Professor?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Let us say the one that created the means for this mark, is the ancient Star Guardian I told you about. The one that defected. The one that joined the only organization that can possibly be worser than an organization as Yliaster, the Silver Order. Nobody knows who they are, nobody knows what they do. They only show their faces when it is absolutely necessary to show them.” The Professor shook his head. “The Silver Order is everywhere and as long as their leaders exist, the Silver Order exists.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is my turn then again,” Dyllan draws a new card. “I activate  Pot of Greed<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> and draw two cards.” As he draws two cards, one of the two cards drawn was glowing. “Aha, good draw. I summon forth Fiend Caller (1000/300) in defense mode onto the field.” A new purple fiend appeared on his side of the field. “Next my face down card, Dimensional Soldiers. I can add all my Normal monsters from my removed from play pile back to my hand.” He added his five cards back to his hand.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now your Fiend Caller is the weakest link on your field,” Gillian noticed and Dyllan smirked. “I suppose it won’t be there long now will it?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Stop it, I am not your little sister anymore. I serve Master Gakyru now.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Do you really believe that?” Gillian desperately talked into Jennifer. “Last time we spoke about Gakyru, you hated him as much as I did. I cannot believe you had a sudden  Change of Heart<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.

As for my Jain, I send the top two cards from my deck to my graveyard.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is my turn,” Dyllan draws his next card. “I activate Ojama Call.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We’ll see about that.” Gillian draws a new card from her deck and looks at it. “I activate a  Polymerization<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> card of my own, fusing my  Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (2000/1600) with my  Ehren, Lightsworn Monk<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> to fusion summon Dragan, Lightsworn Dragon Knight (2400/1800).” A new warrior, riding on a smaller version of Gragonith appeared. He was donning the white-golden robes of the Lightsworn along with a heavier form of the usual Lightsworn armor.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Hey!” Jennifer protested. “I never saw that card before in your deck.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is a recent addition to my deck, added after the crisis around Gakyru, the one you support now. I don’t remember telling you I added it to my deck.” Gillian explained to Jennifer. “There are a lot of cards you have to see yet. But I am not done yet as my Dragan provides my other Lightsworn monsters with protection against attacks.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“To bad it cannot protect your monsters for long,” Dyllan challenged Gillian and Gillian smirked. “You see, my  Ojama King<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> will smack your Dragan next turn and it is gone afterwards.”

Go Dragan, destroy his  Ojama King<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You are crazy! Dragan is more than powerful enough to blow away the rest of your lifepoints! Oh well, if you want to go out like this. Ojama King<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">! Ojama Smackdown!” Dyllan ordered the counter-attack.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“As you technically are attacking me, I activate my Dragan`s special ability and increase its attack power by 1000 when attacked (ATK: 2400 -> 3400)! However Battle Damage is halved. So Dragan wins this battle!” Gillian smirked as the attacks connected and Ojama King<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> blew up like a balloon.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Dyllan – 600 ->200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Then it is my turn to smack you down.” Dyllan draws a new card and laughed about the pun he made on  Ojama King<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">`s attack. “Unfortunately you managed to destroy my  Ojama King<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, but I am not done with you yet. By the effect of Fiend Caller, I summon a second  Giant Soldier of Stone<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1300/2000) in defense mode.” Another giant stone soldier appeared next to the first one already being on the field.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You are strengthening your defenses,” Gillian noted. She had already noticed he played a deck centered around Normal monsters and fusion. “You have done nothing more but fusing and summoning Normal Monsters or support monsters.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I set this card face down and allow you to know this is a trap card in fact,” Dyllan smirked and was in fact happy he left Gillian in doubt. “Does the doubt scare you already? Doubt throws people of balance.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Allows people to join the ranks of Gakyru, the maniac?” Gillian spotted. “No I don’t doubt anything. I am pretty sure that is a trap card that will have anything to do with your Normal Monster tactic.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You’ll find out once you trip the trap, Gillian.” Jennifer taunted her sister and she crabbed around her ear. “Once we have defeated you, you will know and see that Master Gakyru`s way is the right way.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Don’t count on it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I simply summon the third  Giant Soldier of Stone<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> I regained due to Dimensional Soldiers in defense mode and end my turn.” Dyllan lowered his duel disk and looked at Gillian, waiting for her to make her move. “Show me if you can overcome doubt.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I will.”

Gakyru laughed and looked at an ancient map, showing the world as it is now.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ ''Thousands of years ago, wizards and warlocks had decided the world already.

We will complete what has been set into motion thousands of years ago.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

He sat down on it, shedding a smile, while Rhuarc approached him.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Are you sitting comfortably, Master Gakyru?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“35 duels are on the way right now or have ended already. Our first experiment is a success, Master.” Rhuarc dragged a deck out behind his back. “He has asked me to give you this. It is rather an improvement over the Silent Void deck provided by the Core.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I was unbeatable if not for that blasted Blake Connolly,” Gakyru continued and Rhuarc smirked, his eyes glowing red. “You are one of the few Unmarked Ones, you should give your allegiance to me, not to your friend.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Your Silent Void deck is outdated,” Rhuarc continued and he tapped the deck box he was holding. “This deck contains more power and knowledge than you can imagine. It is a powerful and ancient deck.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I am perfectly fine with the deck I hold now, thank you.” Gakyru taunted Rhuarc and he looked at the medallion on the wall. “Tell him I will reach my goal without his help and interference.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Tell him yourself.”

Gakyru looked shocked as he had a stunned expression on his face. “That is the Mouth of Ne’us. It has never been used before.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“ ''You have failed me. I granted you powers beyond comprehension with the Door to the Other Side and still you have failed me.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">” The Mouth of Ne’us moved like a real mouth, the eyes fixated on Gakyru. “ ''You will use that deck to create the Perfect World. There will be severe consequences if you fail this time. You cannot bounce out this time. There is no room for errors.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“There will not be any errors this time. My plan is perfect, my pawns are stronger than the ones I used to have. The element of surprise only strengthens my plan. I have awarded you ninety useful souls, ten of which I requested to be send back. 35 more to come. The first experiment is a success,” Gakyru summed up and he took the deck Rhuarc was holding out in his hand. “I will not fail in my goal this time.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“ You better not.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">” The Mouth of Ne’us rested. “ ''My return into the world of the living and your Perfect World are one and the same goal. If you fail, I cannot return, if I fail, there is no power to back you up. The deck is simply a deck then. Now, I hope for your and our sake, you succeed.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">With those words, the Mouth of Ne’us returned to its stone form, in which it was just a gigantic medallion. Gakyru placed the deck box onto his silver belt he was wearing and looked at Rhuarc.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We won’t fail.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">RANDOM INFINITY HUNTER TRIVIA:

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The Mouth of Ne’us was in fact inspired by two factors. One was this rather evil dude from the  VR Troopers<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> show back in the nineties (not sure who remembers that show) of which the Mouth of Ne’us got its appearance from and its place on the wall. The other reference was of course  The Mouth of Sauron<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from Lord of the Rings. Another thing that was inspired by an outside source was the cross-like mark. It in fact came from a favorite show of me, called  The 4400<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">This turn is my longest turn sofar, about 53.000 characters and nearly 9,500 words a new record for Infinity Hunter. I believe TDDS reached with Chapter 100 the 9,500 words as well, though I am not sure. I will get back on that.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Reason why I did two duels along each other spread over two episode? I have absolutely no idea. No, I am just kidding, I wanted to see whether I could pull that off naturally without trouble. Doing another 8 Duelist Battle Royal is a not-done, four duelists in one duel is okay, but four duels at once is overkill  <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.
