"We did it..." Charles said slowly. "Yeah, you did good Blockhead." He gave her a smile then fell asleep. "Rest well." She thought. "You did well." Tyson was panicking. "No, no, no!" Tai just sighed. "Too bad for you." A spike pierced through Tyson. "But good for my little friend." He was changed into light specks and went to the orb. Hallie turned her head in disgust and quickly took Charles off the field. "Now who's next?" Tai starts to scan the place. "I choose you." His finger was in front of Hachirou. "I'm ready sir." He went to the field. "I'll handle this one." Luke said also going to the field. "Hey Luke." He turns to see Tai with a serious expression. "Be careful and-" He hold out his fist. "Don't lose." Luke smirked but bump fists. "Just who do you think I am."

Luke went first. "Charge and draw. I pay 1 gauge to call out Yumi Ninja Suiha. I use Suiha's effect! It allows me to put a size 1 or less Ninja in my hand. Next I discard a card from my hand to equip Elite Sword Juzumaru. Now I attack the fighter!" Hachirou took the damage. "I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I cast Shadow Art of Recollection! It let's me get a size 1 or lower Shadow monster from my deck to my hand. Then I cast Demonic Charge! It let me put 3 cards into my gauge. Now I pay 2 life to buddycall Superior Devastator Ninja Kotaro Fuma!" The shadow clone of the ninja stared down Luke. "How do you feel seeing your buddy on my field." Hachirou taunted. Luke shrugged. "Nothing much." "Wise person I see. Kotaro can say otherwise!" "Unhonor Blade!" Luke took the attack. "One more time!" Luke took it again. "That's it for now." Score: Luke-4, Hachirou-5.

Luke shook his head. "If that's all you got, then this will be easy." "That's what you think." "Draw, charge and draw. I cast Hidden Secret Sword 'Cloud Billow'! It let's me put 2 cards into my gauge and search for a Secret Sword or a Lethal Formation card from my drop zone. I'll take back my Super Lethal Formation. I pay 1 gauge and retire Suiha to buddycall Superior Strength Ninja Kotaro Fuma! Now I attack the fighter with Juzumaru!" "Move Kotaro." "Then my Kotaro will attack yours!" "I pay 1 life to use Kotaro's effect and nullify the attack." "Kotaro attack once again!" "I pay another life to nullify!" "Tch. Final Phase. I set Super Lethal Formation and put a card into it's soul. I end." Masayo walked up next to Tai. "He good I give that." "Yeah but Luke haven't been giving his all." Masayo was confused. "Why you say that?" Tai smirked. "Because that's my rival." "Rival?" "Yep. That's when he goes full force. Once you have a rival, you can tell when they are giving it their all or not. Got it?" "Yeah." Masayo focuses back on the match. "A rival."

"My turn. Draw, charge and draw. I equip Shadowblade Eclipse Blade. This can let me attack even if there is a monster in my center!" Luke didn't say anything. "Hmph, well I attack the fighter!" He was slashed. "Now Kotaro attacks the fighter!" "Cast! Art of Body Replacement!" "I end." Score: Luke-3, Hachirou-3.

After a few turns of the fight, Luke and Hachirou had their buddies on the field. Both had 3 life left and 1 card in hand. It's Luke's turn. "Draw, charge and draw. Kotaro go attack that imposter!" "Cast! Shadow Art of Regeneration!" "One more time!" "I use Kotaro's effect and pay 1 life to nullify the attack!" "Tch, I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I call Shadow Restrictor Kayablade! I use Kayablade's effect! If called on the field, with another Shadow Monster, I gain 1 life and charge my gauge! Now Kotaro go attack Luke! I pay 2 gauge and a life to restrict you of negating or reducing my attack!" A chain wrapped around Luke preventing him of moving. "Then I'll just have my Kotaro to move in the center!" Hachirou shook his head. "There's no use. I pay another gauge and retire Kayablade to restrict Kotaro Fuma of his ability!" Kotaro was also chain up. "Now continue the attack! Unhonor Blade!" Kotaro swung it's blade against Luke. He was hit, but this time, "Ahh!" He felt pain. When Luke fell over, Hachirou began to laugh. "Man, that face is priceless. Too bad I have to finish this! Go Kotaro end him!" "Luke!" Everyone except Tai cried out. He just smiled. "Okay Luke! Stop playing around! Are you really just gonna lie there and lose!" Tai shouted. Right when the blade was about to finish him, it stopped. Then a green aura suddenly burst from under it. "There we go." Tai whispered. "What's happening?!" Luke stood up and broke the chains. "Pay 3 gauge. Execute. Final Drive." Kotaro was suddenly sliced and Luke was behind him. "Secret Sword Comet." He then slashed Hachirou. "And that's game." Final Score: Luke-2, Hachirou-0
