            "I play another Hydrogeddon in Attack Mode," said Bastion. Then I Tribute both my Hydrogeddons and discard Bonding H2O for Fire Dragon (2600 ATK) in Attack Mode. With it out, when you take Battle Damage, that damage is doubled and it cannot be destroyed in battle. Fire Dragon, annihilate his Vorse Rader! *Vorse Raider is destroyed and Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 4800.* I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I activate Messenger of Peace," said Yubel-Mai. Due to its effect, monsters whose ATK is 1500 or more cannot attack, but I have to pay 100 Life Points each turn to keep it out. Next I Summon Armageddon Knight (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode and use his effect to send Darknight Parshath from my Deck to my Grave. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            "I use Pot of Greed and pick up 2 cards," said Bastion. Next I use Litmus Doom to discard Water Dragon for Litmus Doom Swordsman (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            "My draw," said Yubel-Mai. I'm going to make this turn be the one that finishes you off completely! I play another Snipe Hunter (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode and use its effect to discard Fires of Doomsday to target your Doom Swordsman. The die rolls and lands. 3 so bye-bye Doom Swordsman! Litmus Doom Swordsman is destroyed.

            "Snipe Hunter, attack him directly!" said Yubel-Mai. Bastion's LP drops to 1200. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "Then it's about time I end this Duel," said Bastion. I use Living Fossil (Info) to bring back my Doom Swordsman (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode! Litmus Doom Swordsman appears. Due to the effect of Living Fossil, my monster's ATK will drop by 1000, but since there's still a face-up Trap Card out, it's ATK becomes 3000! Doom Swordsman's ATK rises to 3000. Next I activate my face-down card, Monster Reborn (Info) to bring my Plasma Warrior (Info) (3000 ATK) back in Attack Mode as well! Plasma Warrior Eitom appears. Doom Swordsman, destroy Snipe Hunter! Snipe Hunter is destroyed and Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 3300. Plasma Warrior, direct attack! Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 300. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "I Summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (Info) (700 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn," said Yubel-Mai. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "Then it's over for you," said Bastion. I'll use the effect of Eaton to attack you directly! Eaton's ATK drops to 1500 and Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 0 before Mai collapses.

            "These Duelists seem to do better than I thought," thought Yubel. However, the fun's not over yet as I'll now control the one who defeated me! She merges with Bastion and he yells.

            "Not Bastion!" said Jaden.

            "So which one of you wants to fall victim to me?" asked Yubastion.

            "No one's fallin' victim to anyone!" said Joey. I'll take ya on!

            "Are you sure about this, Joey?" asked Tristan.

            "Definitely," said Joey.

            "This won't take very long," said Yubastion. I've heard you have some skills but they won't compare to mine.

            "We'll see," said Joey. Let's do this!

            "As you wish," said Yubastion. I'll be starting with Dark Crusader (Info) (1600 ATK) in Attack Mode. Due to its effect, I can discard 2 DARK monsters to my Grave to raise his ATK by 800! Dark Crusader's ATK rises to 2400. Next I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I play Dark Dragon Ritual (Info) to discard Alligator Sword for Knight of Dark Dragon (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Joey. Then I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            "By playing a monster that weak, you're increasing my chances of victory," said Yubastion.I play Vorse Raider (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode. Dark Crusader, destroy his Knight of Dark Dragon!

            "I activate Kunai with Chain (Info)!" said Joey. Now your Crusader goes to Defense Mode and my monster gains 500 ATK! Dark Dragon's ATK rises to 2400.

            "I set 1 card face-down to end my turn," said Yubastion. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "I Summon Axe Raider (Info) (1700 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Joey. Axe Raider, take out that Dark Crusader!

            "I activate Mirror Force (Info)!" said Yubastion. Now all Attack Position monsters you control are destroyed! Axe Raider and Knight of Dark Dragon are destroyed.

            "I place another card face-down and end my move," said Joey. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I Tribute my Vorse Raider for Jinzo (Info) (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Yubastion. Jinzo, attack directly! Joey's LP drops to 5600. Dark Crusader, deal him some damage! You have nothing to play, Wheeler!

Mai Villaintine (Part 1)

             "So you want to challenge me?" questioned Yubel-Mai.

           "I'll take you down with everything I have," said Bastion.

           "Very well, then let the fun begin!" said Yubel-Mai.

           "It starts with my turn as I play Hydrogeddon (Info) (1600 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Bastion. Next I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 4 cards)

           "I'll start with Vorse Raider (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Yubel-Mai. Raider, destroy his Hydrogeddon!

           "I activate Magic Cylinder (Info)!" said Bastion. You now take Vorse Raider's ATK as damage! Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 6100.

           "I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn," said Yubel-Mai. (Hand: 3 cards)

           "I play another Hydrogeddon (Info) in Attack Mode," said Bastion. Then I Tribute both my Hydrogeddons and discard Bonding - H2O for ~Fire Dragon~ (Info) (2600 ATK) in Attack Mode. With it out, when you take Battle Damage, that damage is doubled and it cannot be destroyed in battle. Fire Dragon, annihilate his Vorse Rader! Vorse Raider is destroyed and Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 4800. I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

           "I activate Messenger of Peace (Info)," said Yubel-Mai. Due to its effect, monsters whose ATK is 1500 or more cannot attack but I have to pay 100 Life Points each turn to keep it out. Next I Summon Armageddon Knight (Info) (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode and use his effect to send Darknight Parshath from my Deck to my Grave. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

           "It's too bad for your Messenger of Peace," said Bastion.

           "Why's that?" asked Yubel-Mai.

           "I have a card to destroy it!" said Bastion. I use Mystical Space Typhoon (Info) to destroy Messenger of Peace! Messenger of Peace is destroyed. Fire Dragon, destroy Armageddon Knight!

           "I activate my own Magic Cylinder (Info)!" said Yubel-Mai. That's 2600 damage to you! Bastion's LP drops to 5400.

           "Very well I end my turn," said Bastion. (Hand: 2 cards)

           "I play my face-down card, Call of the Haunted (Info) to revive my Darknight Parshath (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Yubel-Mai. He gets 100 ATK for every DARK monster in my Grave! Darknight's ATK rises to 2100. There's more as I Tribute both my monsters for Darklord Zerato (Info) (2800 ATK) in Attack Mode. Zerato, attack his Fire Dragon! Fire Dragon is not destroyed but Bastion's LP drops to 5200. I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

           "I use Allure of Darkness (Info) to draw twice and remove from play my Snipe Hunter," said Yubel-Mai. Next I play Snipe Hunter (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. I discard 1 card for its effect, forcing me to roll a die and if the result is anything but 1 or 6, your Eitom is destroyed! The die lands. Well it's not 1 or 6 so bye-bye Eaton! Plasma Warrior is destroyed. Snipe Hunter, attack directly! Bastion's LP drops to 3700. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "I activate Fires of Doomsday (Info) so I get 2 Doomsday Tokens (0 DEF x2) in Defense Mode," said Yubel-Mai.

           "I end my turn," said Bastion. (Hand: 1 card)

           "Since the Doomsday Tokens can only be Tributed for a DARK monster, I'll Tribute them for another Darklord Zerato (Info) in Attack Mode," said Yubel-Mai. Darklord, take out Oxygeddon! Oxygeddon is destroyed and Bastion's LP drops to 2700 That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "I use Pot of Greed (Info) and pick up 2 cards," said Bastion. Next I use Litmus Doom Ritual (Info) to discard Water Dragon for Litmus Doom Swordsman (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

           "That's nothing compared to my monster," said Yubel-Mai.

           "I disagree for since you still have a face-up Trap Card, my monster's ATK becomes 3000," said Bastion. Litmus Doom's ATK rises to 3000 Doom Swordsman, destroy Darklord Zerato! Darklord is destroyed and Yubel-Mai's LP drops to 4100 That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "My draw," said Yubel-Mai. I'm going to make this turn be the one that finishes you off completely!

            "So you're willing to take the hit over everyone else?" questioned Yubelexis. Very well, I've heard you're one of Yugi's friends so I'll be glad to take you down.

            "I activate Harpie's Hunting Ground so your Mausoleum crumbles and all Winged-Beast monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF and if I play a Harpie Lady monster, I get to destroy a Spell or Trap Card. I play Harpie Lady (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. With Hunting Ground's effect, I destroy your left face-down card! *The face-down The Eye of Truth is destroyed.* Next I play Elegant Egotist, letting me Special Summon Harpie Lady Sisters (2150 ATK) in Attack Mode from my Deck and I destroy your remaining face-down with Hunting Ground's effect. *The face-down Mirror Force is destroyed.* Finally, my Sisters get a little make-over with Cyber Shield, raising its ATK by 500! *Sisters' ATK rises to 2650.* Harpie Lady Sisters, destroy her Brain Golem! *Brain Golem is destroyed and Yubelexis' LP drops to 6850.* Harpie Lady, direct attack! *Yubelexis' LP drops to 5450.* I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "Then I won't have a problem destroying it," said Yubelexis. Armageddon Knight, destroy Harpie Lady! Harpie Lady is destroyed and Mai's LP drops to 7900. When I'm through, I'll be ruler of the world! I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "Then try this on for size," said Mai. I play Cyber Harpie Lady (Info) (1800 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            "You've activated my Bottomless Trap Hole card," said Yubelexis. With it, your Cyber Harpie is destroyed and removed from play since its ATK is at least 1500. *Cyber Harpie disappears*

            "I end my turn," said Mai. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I use Monster Reborn (Info) on my Brain Golem (Info) (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Yubelexis. Brain Golem appears. Brain Golem, attack her directly!

            "I activate Mirror Wall (Info)!" said Mai. Thanks to its effect, it halves the ATK of all your monsters! Her LP drops to 6650 while Armageddon Knight's ATK drops to 700.

           "That won't stop me from dealing you more damage!" said Yubelexis. Armageddon Knight, direct attack! Mai's LP drops to 5950. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "I have to pay 2000 LP to keep Mirror Wall out and I think I will," said Mai. Her LP drops to 3950. Then I play Harpie Lady 1 (Info) (1300 ATK) in Attack Mode and with her out, all WIND monsters out get 300 ATK. Harpie Lady 1's ATK rises to 1600. Harpie Lady 1, destroy her Brain Golem! Brain Golem is destroyed and Yubelexis' LP drops to 5100. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

           "You won't be able to pay for your card's existence on the field for much longer," said Yubelexis. I use Card of Sanctity (Info) so we both draw until we each hold 6 cards. Both players draw their cards. Next I activate End of the World (Info), letting me toss out Ice Queen for Demise, King of Armageddon (Info) (1200 ATK) in Attack Mode. Then I use Demise's effect, destroying all other cards out by paying 2000 Life Points! Her score drops to 3100 and all other cards are destroyed before Demise's ATK returns to 2400. Demise, attack her directly! Mai's LP drops to 1950. I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

           "I've got to figure out a way out of this," thought Mai. If I set Gravity Bind, she'll just destroy it with Demise's effect. I also need a way to defend my remaining LP. I activate Graceful Charity (Info) so I draw 3 cards, then discard 2. Then I remove from play 2 WIND monsters in my Graveyard for 2 Silpheeds (Info) (1700 ATK x2) in Attack Mode.

           "Those won't help you at all," said Yubelexis..

           "They will for a Tribute Summon," said Mai. I offer up my 2 monsters for Simorgh, Bird of Divinity (Info) (2700 ATK) in Attack Mode. Simorgh, take out Demise! Demise is destroyed and Yubelexis' LP drops to 2800. Then I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

           "That's quite the bird you have," said Yubelexis. However, it has a bite that deals both players 500 damage for lacking up to 2 Spell or Trap Cards on the field. I'll make sure that damage is dealt only to you! I activate my face-down Synthesis Spell (Info) and discard another Brain Golem for Lycanthrope (Info) (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode.

           "Sorry, hun but she's a little short on ATK points," said Mai.

           "That's about to change with my other face-down card," said Yubelexis. I activate my hidden card, Ritual Weapon (Info), giving Lycanthrope a 1500 ATK and DEF boost since my beast is a Level 6 Ritual. Lycanthrope's stats become (3900I3300). Face it, it's all over for you. Nothing in your Deck can withstand Lycanthrope's power!

             "Time to bring this Duel to a close," said Chazz. I use Ojamandala, letting me bring back my Ojama brothers right to the field from my Grave but I have to pay 1000 Life Points. *Ojama Black, Green, and Yellow appear (1000 DEF x3) in Defense Mode and his score drops to 4900.* Here's what I've been waiting for. I activate one of my face-downs, Ojama Delta Hurricane!!, which destroys all cards you have out since I have the Ojama brothers on my field. *MJ's cards are destroyed.* Next I switch my Tiger Jet to Attack Mode and attack you directly! *MJ's LP drops to 0.* You just got Chazz'd! *He walks away* *Meanwhile…*

            "So it looks like I'll now have to handle this my way," said Yubel. I think this will be quite fun using former friends to face off in Duels and lose. Now it's just a matter of choosing who to start off. *She disappears* *Elsewhere…*

            "That was a good Duel, Jaden," said Alexis. *She screams, then a sinister look appears on her face*

            "Alexis?" questioned Jaden. What happened? This doesn't look good!

            "It's like she's possessed," said Syrus. We need to get the old Alexis back and fast!

            "The Alexis you knew is gone," said Yubelexis. (Note: This is short for "Yubel-Alexis" since Alexis is being possessed by Yubel. This will apply for the other Duelists Yubel possesses, but the A in Yubelexis will be replaced by the 1st letter of the possessed.) You're now looking at Supreme Queen Alexis! *Yugi and the gang arrive.*

           "What's going on here?" asked Yugi.

           "If it isn't Yugi Muto, King of Games," said Yubelexis. You're face-to-face with Supreme Queen Alexis!

           "Supreme Queen Alexis?" questioned Yugi.

           "Yeah, like how I was Supreme King several years ago," said Jaden. Yubel took over my body completely and I was given a new fusion Spell Card called Super Polymerization.

           "Man that must've been freaky," said Joey.

           "It wasn't exactly freaky for me until after I started regaining control of my body," said Jaden.

           "Well someone's going to have to take this being down and I'll be the one to do it," said Mai.

           "So you're willing to take the hit over everyone else?" questioned Yubelexis. Very well, I've heard you're one of Yugi's friends so I'll be glad to take you down.

           "You'd better rethink that since my Deck will put out the fire you have in controlling her," said Mai.

           "The fun begins with this," said Yubelexis drawing her card. I activate Mausoleum of the Emperor (Info)! With it, instead of monsters, we pay 1000 LP for every Tribute the Normal Summoned monster needed and I choose to pay 1000 LP for Brain Golem (Info) (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Her LP drops to 7000. Then I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

           "I activate Harpie's Hunting Ground (Info) so your Mausoleum crumbles and all Winged-Beast monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF and if I play a Harpie Lady monster, I get to destroy a Spell or Trap Card. I play Harpie Lady (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. With Hunting Ground's effect, I destroy your left face-down card! The face-down The Eye of Truth (Info) is destroyed. Next I play Elegant Egotist (Info), letting me Special Summon Harpie Lady Sisters (Info) (2150 ATK) in Attack Mode from my Deck and I destroy your remaining face-down with Hunting Ground's effect. The face-down Mirror Force (Info) is destroyed. Finally, my Sisters get a little make-over with Cyber Shield (Info), raising its ATK by 500! Sisters' ATK rises to 2650. Harpie Lady Sisters, destroy her Brain Golem! Brain Golem is destroyed and Yubelexis's LP drops to 6850. Harpie Lady, direct attack! Yubelexis's LP drops to 5450. I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "You got lucky that round," said Yubelexis. Now it's time for me to get more than just lucky! I play Pot of Greed (Info). With another 2 cards in my hand, I can play Lightning Vortex (Info) by discarding 1 card! Harpie Lady and Sisters are destroyed. I Summon Armageddon Knight (Info) (1400 ATK) in Attack Mode and send 1 DARK monster from my Deck to my Grave using my Knight's effect. Armageddon Knight, attack directly!

            "I activate Hysteric Party (Info)!" said Mai. By discarding 1 card in my hand to the Grave, my Harpie Lady (Info) comes back! She discards her card and Harpie Lady appears. Now I have to destroy my Hunting Ground with its own effect since I Special Summoned a Harpie Lady monster. Hunting Ground is destroyed and Harpie Lady's ATK drops to 1300.

            "Then I won't have a problem destroying it," said Yubelexis. Armageddon Knight, destroy Harpie Lady!

Jar Robber (Part 2)

Previously…

            "I activate Pot of Greed," said M Jar. I pick up 2 cards and next I activate Gravekeeper's Servant, preventing you from attacking unless you are willing to send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard.

            "If he continues attacking, his Deck will be wiped out," said Alexis.

            "I set another monster in Defense Mode and flip up my first one: another Needle Worm!" said M Jar. You lose another 5 cards off the top of your Deck. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "Big deal. I don't need to attack your monster, I can just destroy it," said Chazz. I use XYZ's ability again to toss out Ojamagic and destroy your new face-down monster! *He discards another card and the face-down Hade-Hane is destroyed* Since Ojamagic was discarded, I can use its effect to add Ojama Black, Green, and Yellow to my hand. Oh and I'm tossing them all out to destroy 2 of your other face-down cards! Your cards are nothing against my XYZ-Dragon Cannon! *He laughs.* XYZ-Dragon Cannon, attack him directly! M Jar's LP drops to 4200. I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I play Destiny Hero - Defender (Info) (2700 DEF) in Defense Mode," said M Jar. Then I play Swords of Revealing Light (Info) to stall you for 3 entire turns to end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "Figures," said Chazz. Due to your Defender's effect, I can draw another card so I have 3 cards now, enough to rid the field of your sad attempt at defending your LP and I discard them all to leave you with nothing! He discards his cards and M Jar's field is destroyed. XYZ-Dragon Cannon, attack directly! M Jar's LP drops to 1400. Go ahead and take your last turn, I'll be ready to Chazz you up! (Hand: 0 cards)

            "I draw," said M Jar. I need to get rid of his XYZ-Dragon Cannon or I'm done for. I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "Then it looks like I'll be winning this Duel," said Chazz. I discard my last card to destroy your face-down card. The face-down Dark Coffin (Info) is destroyed.

            "You've activated the effect of my Dark Coffin Trap Card," said M Jar.

            "How?" questioned Chazz. It was sent to the Graveyard.

            "It was sent to the Graveyard face-down and that's exactly what the card needs to trigger its effect and you would normally get to choose which effect but since you can't discard anything, you have to destroy your monster.

           "Fine," said Chazz. I destroy my XYZ Dragon Cannon. XYZ is destroyed. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "I play another Bistro Butcher (Info) (1800 ATK) in Attack Mode," said M Jar. Butcher, direct attack! Chazz's LP drops to 5900. Now you draw twice more and I'd say you're getting pretty low on cards for your Deck.

           "I won't need a full Deck to win this Duel," said Chazz.

           "Then take your turn for what you have left," said M Jar. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "I play V-Tiger Jet (Info) (1800 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn," said Chazz. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "I activate another Gravekeeper's Servant (Info)," said M Jar. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

           "Time to bring this Duel to a close," said Chazz. I use Ojamandala (Info), letting me bring back my Ojama brothers right to the field from my Grave but I have to pay 1000 Life Points. Ojama Black (Info), Green (Info) and Yellow (Info) appear (1000 DEF x3) in Defense Mode and his score drops to 4900. Here's what I've been waiting for. I activate one of my face-downs, Ojama Delta Hurricane!! (Info)!, which destroys all cards you have out since I have the Ojama brothers on my field. M Jar's cards are destroyed. Next I switch my Tiger Jet to Attack Mode and attack you directly! M Jar's LP drops to 0. You just got Chazz'd! He walks away and the students' belongings reappear in their original locations. Meanwhile…

           "So it looks like I'll now have to handle this my way," said Yubel. I think this will be quite fun using former friends to face off in Duels and lose. Now it's just a matter of choosing who to start off. She disappears Elsewhere…

           "Chazz won," said Jaden.

           "It was nothing," said Chazz.

           "It was only the best Duel I've ever seen in a long time since when I Dueled Zane eight years back," said Jaden.

           "That was a good Duel, Jaden," said Alexis. She screams, then a sinister look appears on her face.

           "Alexis?" questioned Jaden. What happened? This doesn't look good!

Jar Robber (Part 1)

            "We're gathered here on an important matter," said Sheppard. Belongings from all over Duel Academy are suddenly going missing and we need to figure out who is responsible. If any student is caught performing such an act, they will be asked to return the belongings at once or face a severe punishment. Now before we go around blaming one another, we need to think about this carefully.

            "So much stuff, so little time," said Morphing Jar. Where should I go next? How about in here. He heads into the kitchen. Now they'll have trouble surviving tomorrow. He floats away Back at their dorm…

            "I'm hungry," said Syrus.

            "Me too," said Jaden. Ya know, we haven't had much all day. I hope we can get something to allow us to think straight. They walk out to the kitchen. No way! The food's gone!

            "Ah ,Chazz. Good to see you here," said M Jar. (Note: I'm calling Morphing Jar "M Jar" now for short.)

            "I'll Chazz you up!" said Chazz.

            "Let's Duel outside, shall we?" asked M Jar. Outside... If I win, I get all the stuff in Duel Academy, you win, I return everything I stole. Of course with what I have planned, you'll spend the rest of your days hungry! I'll start with a monster in Defense Mode and 2 cards face-down to complete my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            "Here goes," said Chazz. I play Y-Dragon Head (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Dragon Head, take out that face-down monster! The face-down Needle Worm (Info) (600 DEF) is destroyed.

            "Now you've triggered my worm's effect, which sends the next 5 cards of your Deck to the Grave," said M Jar.

            "I set 1 card face-down to end my turn," said Chazz. (Hand: 4 cards)

            "I play The Bistro Butcher (Info) (1800) in Attack Mode," said M Jar. Butcher, carve up that Y-Dragon Head! Y-Dragon Head is destroyed and Chazz's LP drops to 7700. Now you draw twice due to my Butcher's effect.

            "Fine by me," said Chazz. He draws his cards.

            "Now I'm going to force you to discard them with Card Destruction (Info)," said M Jar. We both discard our hands and redraw the same number discarded from our Decks. I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I play X-Head Cannon (Info) (1800 ATK) in Attack Mode," said Chazz. That ends my turn. (Hand: 4 cards)

            "I set another monster in Defense Mode and end my turn," said M Jar. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I play Monster Reborn (Info) to bring back Y-Dragon Head (Info)," said Chazz. Y-Dragon Head appears. Then I play Z-Metal Tank (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode and remove from play my 3 monsters for XYZ-Dragon Cannon (Info) (2800 ATK) in Attack Mode. Cannon, trash that Bistro Butcher! Bistro Butcher is destroyed and M Jar's LP drops to 7000. That ends my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            "I activate Pot of Greed (Info)," said M Jar. I pick up 2 cards and next I activate Gravekeeper's Servant (Info), preventing you from attacking unless you are willing to send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard.

            "That's not good for Chazz," said Jaden.

            "If he continues attacking, his Deck will be wiped out," said Alexis.

            "I set another monster in Defense Mode and flip up my first one: another Needle Worm

(Info)!" said M Jar. You lose another 5 cards off the top of your Deck. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I draw," said Chazz. Thanks to his card's effect, I can't attack without losing another card from the top of my Deck, but what this scumbag doesn't get is it won't stop me from using card effects. I activate XYZ's ability, letting me discard 2 cards and wipe out your Servant and your face-down monster! He discards 2 cards and Gravekeeper's Servant and the face-down Morphing Jar are destroyed. XYZ-Dragon Cannon, destroy his Needle Worm!

            "I activate Negate Attack (Info) so you won't be getting at my monster just yet," said M Jar.

            "I set 1 card face-down to end my turn," said Chazz. (Hand: 1 card)

            "I Tribute my Needle Worm for another face-down monster," said M Jar. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            "Big deal. I don't need to attack your monster, I can just destroy it," said Chazz. I use XYZ's ability again to toss out Ojamagic and destroy your new face-down monster! He discards another card and the face-down Hade-Hane (Info) (1000 DEF) is destroyed. Since Ojamagic (Info) was discarded, I can use its effect to add Ojama Black, Green, and Yellow to my hand. Oh and I'm tossing them all out to destroy 2 of your other face-down cards! Your cards are nothing against my XYZ-Dragon Cannon! He laughs.

Triangle Power (Part 2)

Previously…

            "I now play Tragoedia (? ATK) in Attack Mode," said Sangan. It's a Level 10 monster that I can bring out for free when I take Battle Damage and it gets 600 ATK and DEF for every card in my hand, which is currently 2. *Tragoedia's ATK rises to 1200.*

            "I activate Attack Reflector Unit!" said Zane. Since my Proto-Cyber Dragon has his name converted into just Cyber Dragon, I can Tribute him to play Cyber Barrier Dragon (2800 DEF) in Defense Mode.

           "Since you've destroyed my holographic self, my effect kicks in," said Sangan. Now I pick up a monster from my Deck with no more than 1500 ATK and add it to my hand. I think I'll take my 4-Starred Ladybug of Doom card.

           "Little does he know that my Deck doesn't have very many Level 4 monsters, they're either above or below," thought Zane. So he'll be disappointed when its effect doesn't catch any of my monsters.

           "You will fall at the hands of my Level 3 monsters!" said Sangan. There's no hope for you now!

           "So far you have yet to prove that to me, Sangan," said Zane.

           "All in due time, Zane. All in due time," said Sangan.

           "I set 1 card face-down to end my turn," said Zane. (Hand: 1 card)

           "Let's see what your Cyber Dragon thinks about my Tragoedia," said Sangan. Tragoedia's ATK rises back to 1800. I use Pot of Greed (Info) for 2 cards. Tragoedia's ATK drops to 1200, then rises to 2400. I use Tragoedia's other effect to select my Hunter Dragon and convert his own Level to 3! Tragoedia, destroy his Cyber Dragon! Cyber Dragon is destroyed and Zane's LP drops to 7700. Now Giant Soldier of Stone, destroy his Proto-Cyber Dragon! Proto-Cyber Dragon is destroyed and Zane's LP drops to 7500. Then I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 3 cards) Tragoedia's ATK drops to 1800.

           "So much for me falling at the hands of your monsters," said Zane. Looks like it's the exact opposite: My monsters will demolish yours. I play another Cyber Valley (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

           "What was that about you saying that your monsters would demolish mine?" questioned Sangan. I haven't seen that yet and I thought you were going to do so in your last turn but I see that you're clearly bluffing. Now then, I bring out Chamberlain of the Six Samurai (Info) (2000 DEF) in Defense Mode. Giant Soldier of Stone, destroy his Cyber Valley!

           "I use Cyber Valley's other effect," said Zane. By removing it from play while I have it out, I get to draw 1 card and end the Battle Phase.

           "Tisk, tisk, tisk," said Sangan. You seem to be all talk and no action. I play Infinite Cards

(Info), making it no longer necessary to discard for the hand-size limit. That ends my turn. Tragoedia's stats drop to 600. (Hand: 1 card)

           "Then it's time for me to end this Duel," said Zane.

           "Hardly likely," said Sangan. You have no monsters out, you cannot possibly beat me in one turn.

           "Due to Different Dimension Capsule's effect, it's destroyed and now I get the card I added. I think I'll play it and it's Overload Fusion (Info)! With it, I remove all the Machine-Type monsters in my Grave from play and I can bring out a Machine-Type Fusion Monster so meet Chimeratech Overdragon (Info) (? ATK) in Attack Mode and his ATK and DEF become 800 for each of the Fusion Materials I used to bring him out so that's 2400 ATK points! Chimeratech's stats rise to 2400.

           "Big deal. My Gravity Bind is still out, you can't touch my monsters," said Sangan.

           "With my Mystical Space Typhoon (Info) I can as I use the card on Gravity Bind!" said Zane. Gravity Bind is destroyed.

           "Even if you destroy my monsters, I'll still have Life Points left," said Sangan. You are clearly out of your mind thinking you'd win this turn.

           "You forget that your Tragoedia's ATK and DEF are now 600 and your Giant Soldier's ATK is a mere 1300 so when I wipe them both out, you lose," said Zane. I use another Limiter Removal (Info) on my Chimeratech! Chimeratech's stats rise to 4800. Chimeratech can now attack 1 of your monsters for every Fusion Material that was used to bring him out so I can attack 3 of your monsters! Chimeratech, destroy all 3 of his monsters and end this Duel! Sangan's monsters are destroyed and his LP drops to 0. Elsewhere…

           "Looks like I need one last opponent before I make myself known," said Yubel. Rise, Morphing Jar! Morphing Jar appears. Take down the one called Chazz Princeton! Morphing Jar disappears and she laughs You'll never survive what Morphing Jar has in store!
