            “My move,” said Raphael. I summon Guardian Elma (1800) in Attack Mode. Her effect lets me equip Gravity Axe Grarl to her. Elma’s ATK rises to 2300. Then I move my Butterfly Dagger to her thanks to Backup Gardna’s effect. Backup Gardna’s ATK drops to 1000 while Elma’s ATK rises to 2600. Elma, destroy his Wildheart! Wildheart is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 6400. That ends my turn. (0)

            “Back to me,” said Jaden. I play Common Soul, letting me play Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin (0600) in Attack Mode. With it, Bladedge gets more ATK equal to Aqua Dolphin’s! Bladedge’s ATK rises to 3200. Bladedge, destroy Guardian Elma! Guardian Elma is destroyed and Raphael’s LPs drop to 4100. Butterfly Dagger returns to Raphael’s hand.

            “Time to win this duel!” said Raphael. I activate Celestial Sword - Eatos and equip it to your Aqua Dolphin, giving him 300 more ATK! Aqua Dolphin’s ATK rises to 900. Then I tribute my 2 monsters for Guardian Eatos (3000) in Attack Mode. Then, since Butterfly Dagger went to my Graveyard, I return it to my hand and equip it to Eatos! Eatos’ ATK rises to 3300. Next, the ATK of every monster in your Graveyard is added to my Eatos’ ATK! Eatos’ ATK rises to 4100. Eatos, destroy his Bladedge! Bladedge is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 4900 while Eatos’ ATK rises to 6700.

            “Fine, I end my turn,” said Raphael. You’ve got nothing strong enough to take out my Guardian Eatos! You’re through! (0)

            “I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman (1200) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. That ends my turn. (0)

            “Time to send another of your monsters to your Graveyard,” said Raphael. I play Morale Boost! It gives the controller that plays an Equip Spell 1000 points but if that Equip Spell is destroyed, that player takes 1000 damage. I equip Guardian Eatos with my face down Blast with Chain, giving her 500 more ATK and since it becomes an Equp Spell when activated, my LPs get a boost! Guardian Eatos’ ATK rises to 7200 while his LPs rise to 5100. Guardian Eatos, destroy Aqua Dolphin! Aqua Dolphin and Celestial Sword are destroyed while Eatos’ ATK rises to 7800 and Raphael’s LPs drop to 4100. That ends my turn. (1)

            “Alright, my draw,” said Jaden I’d better make it count or I’m losing my soul! I play Necro Gardna (1300) in Defense Mode and leave it at that. (0)

            “Fine, it won’t matter,” said Raphael. Guardian Eatos, destroy Necro Gardna! Necro Gardna is destroyed and Eatos’ ATK rises to 8400. I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (1)

            “Here I go,” said Jaden. I throw down a face down and end my turn. (0)

            “I summon Arsenal Summoner (1600) in Attack Mode,” said Raphael. That ends my turn. (3)

            “Okay, I draw,” said Jaden. I play Elemental Hero Sparkman (1400) in Defense Mode and leave it at that. (0)

            “You’re finished!” said Raphael. Arsenal Summoner, destroy his Sparkman!

            “I activate Necro Gardna’s effect!” said Jaden. By removing him out of my Graveyard from play, your attack is negated! Eatos’ ATK drops to 7800.

            “You’re just stalling!” said Raphael. Guardian Eatos, destroy his Sparkman!

            “I activate Mirage Cylinder!” said Jaden. Your attack is negated and you take damage equal to Sparkman’s ATK! Raphael’s LPs drop to 2500.

            “I end my turn,” said Raphael. (5)

            “I play Bubble Rod,” said Jaden. It gives my Bubbleman 800 more ATK! Bubbleman’s ATK rises to 1600. That’ll do. (0)

            “Your Bubbleman is no more!” said Raphael. I play Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce, which by discarding 1 card, reduces Eatos’ ATK by 500 and lets her attack twice. Eatos’ ATK drops to 7300 and his LPs rise to 3500. Eatos, destroy his Sparkman and Bubbleman! Sparkman and Bubbleman are destroyed while Eatos’ ATK rises to 9700. Arsenal Summoner, attack directly! Jaden’s LPs drop to 4800.

            “Thanks to Bubble Rod’s effect, I can draw a card,” said Jaden.

            “I end my turn,” said Raphael. (5)

            “Deck don’t fail me now!” said Jaden to himself. I need a card here and now!
