The Triple Threat (1)

          “Attention duelists, the next round of the KC World Cup!” said Roland. All participants, please report to the large room so we can prepare the next match up! Selector start! The balls bounce around and one rolls out. Our first duelist in the Semi Finals is Alexis Rhodes!

          “Roland, activate the selector again!” said Kaiba.

          “Yes, Mr. Kaiba,” said Roland. Selector begin again! The balls bounce around once more and another ball rolls out. The next match up has been announced! Alexis Rhodes will face Kagemaru in the next round! Everyone, please report to the top of the blimp! A few minutes later…Alexis Rhodes, Kagemaru, prepare your decks!

          “I’ll begin this duel with Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards,” said Kagemaru. Then, I set 3 cards face down and end my turn (4)

          “I play Etoile Cyber (1200) in Attack Mode,” said Alexis. Etoile Cyber, direct attack! Oh and when she attacks you directly, she gets 500 more ATK! Etoile Cyber’s ATK rises to 1700.

          “I activate my Ultimate Offering, Spellbinding Circle, and Chain Burst Trap Cards!” said Kagemaru. Ultimate Offering allows us to pay 500 points and summon or set additional Monsters. Spellbinding Circle stops your Cyber’s attack and Chain Burst inflicts 1000 damage to the player who activates a Trap Card.

          “I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Alexis. Etoile Cyber’s ATK returns to 1200. (4)

          “I send my 3 Trap Cards to my Graveyard for Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (0000) in Attack Mode,” said Kagemaru.

          “Why would you summon a Monster with no ATK, much less one with less ATK than mine?” asked Alexis.

          “Uria has a special effect,” said Kagemaru. For every Continuous Trap Card in my Graveyard, he gets an additional 1000 ATK. Uria’s ATK rises to 3000. Uria, attack Etoile Cyber!

          “I activate Hallowed Life Barrier, which by tossing out 1 card, I don’t take damage this turn,” said Alexis. Etoile Cyber is still destroyed.

          “You now take 1000 damage for using Hallowed Life Barrier thanks to Chain Burst!” said Kagemaru. Alexis’ LPs drop to 7000. That ends my turn. (4)

          “I play Cyber Gymnast (0800) in Attack Mode,” said Alexis.

          “Looks like you want to lose the duel,” said Kagemaru.

          “Not exactly for I use her special effect, tossing out Cyber Angel Dakini,” said Alexis. Now your Uria is destroyed! Uria is destroyed. Cyber Gymnast, attack directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 7200. Next, I set 1 card and end my turn. (2)

          “I play Spell Economics, Spell Absorption, and Level Limit Area - B,” said Kagemaru. Thanks to Spell Absorption, I gain 500 LPs when a Spell Card is activated. Spell Economics removes the need for me to pay LPs for activating Spell Cards and Level Limit Area - B puts all Monsters into Defense Mode. Next, I send my Spell Cards to my Graveyard to summon Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (4000) in Attack Mode. Hamon, destroy Cyber Gymnast! Cyber Gymnast is destroyed and Alexis’ LPs drop to 3800. Hamon’s effect now activates, dealing you 1000 damage when it destroys a Monster in battle. Alexis’ LPs drop to 2800. That ends my turn. (1)

          “I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards,” said Alexis. Next, I play Machine Angel Ritual, discarding Cyber Angel Benten and Cyber Petit Angel to summon Cyber Angel Benten (2700) in Attack Mode.

          “My Monster still has more points,” said Kagemaru.

          “Doesn’t matter for my Monster’s effect activates, forcing you to destroy 1 of your own Monsters,” said Alexis. Looks like you only have one, oh well. Hamon is destroyed. Cyber Angel Benten, attack Kagemaru directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 4500. That ends my turn. (0)

          “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Kagemaru. (1)

          “Cyber Angel Benten, attack directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 1800. That ends my turn. (1)

          “I activate my face down cards, Statue of the Wicked, giving me 3 Fiend-Type tokens!
