It was a dark night, and Dark Alley, made everything seem darker. Lupin, a tall 5’8” eighteen year old made his way through that alley accompanied by little more than a flash light, his duel disk and his deck. It was a cold night so he was wearing a black shirt (short sleeve) and blue jeans. Along with his pair of blue tennis shoes, another figure made his way towards Lupin. Surprisingly it was Lupin’s twin brother Leo. Although they were twins, they were complete opposites. Leo was wearing a long sleeve white shirt, with a vest over it and navy-blue slacks. He was wearing a duel disk.

Leo: We meet again, eh, Lupin? It’s about time I show you whose the boss. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Lupin: So you’re the one who sent me the challenge letter! No point in backing out, especially when I get to show you my new cards.

Leo: You’re not the only one with new cards.

Leo/Lupin: Let’s Duel!

Hand count: Lupin 5, Leo 5
Life points: Lupin:8000, Leo:8000

Turn 1) Leo:
I draw and start off by summoning Fig Fighter (Insect Earth LV4 ATK: 1900 DEF: 1500.) One hell of a normal monster and to top it off, I play one card face down. Your move Lupin.
Leo’s Stats:
Hand: 4 Life points: 8000 Graveyard list: none
Field:
Spell/Trap zone: 1 Card face down
Monster Zone: 1 –Fig Fighter- ATK position.

Turn 2) Lupin
That is one hell of a level four monster. You’re not the only one who has big time creatures! I draw! Good… I play the spell –Double Summon- which allows me to normal summon twice this turn, so I summon Lunar-Wolf-Volcano (LV4 Beast Fire) and Lunar-Wolf-Ocean (LV4 Beast Water). Since both of these guys are on the field, they both get their effects.

Leo: What!?

Lupin: I play the field spell Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise which increases the ATK and DEF of all Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Warrior monsters by 200 points (Volcano: ATK/DEF 1950/0 =>2150/200 | Ocean: ATK/DEF 0/1950=>200/2150.) Then, I activate Ocean’s effect. Once per turn, I gain 200 life points for each card on the field with “Lunar” or “Wolf” in its name. I have three so I gain 600 life points. (8000+600=8600.) Now, Volcano, attack his Fig Fighter!

Leo: I activate my face down! Magic Cylinder! I negate your wolf’s attack and inflict damage equal to its attack back at you! (8600-2150=6450)

Lupin is hit by a the cylinder’s counter. Huff, huff Still here…and I play my final face down. Your move.
Lupin’s stats:
Hand: 1 Card Life points: 6450 (Graveyard list: Double Summon)
Field:
Field Spell: Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise
Spell/Trap Zone: 2 face downs.
Monster Zone: 1 –Lunar-Wolf-Volcano- and 1 –Lunar-Wolf-Ocean-, both in ATK position.

Turn 3) Leo
You’re not as good as I was hoping for. Oh well. I draw. Next I summon Fig Synchro (Insect / Tuner LV3 Earth ATK 300 DEF 300) and because I have an insect type monster on my side of the field, its star level becomes four instead of three. Now I Synchronize both my Fig Fighter and Fig Synchro to Synchro Summon my Fig Crasher (LV8 Wind Plant/Synchro ATK: 2750 DEF: 2100) and when this card is Synchro summoned successfully, I can negate the effect of any card activated until the end of the turn.

Lupin: To bad my wolves are already active.

Leo: But your face downs are something else. Now Fig Crasher, attack his Lunar-Wolf-Volcano! Fig Crasher binds Volcano with its green vine arms and crushes him into glowing virtual dust. (2750-2150=600 damage) (Lupin’s life points: 6450-600=5850) Now I play 2 cards face down, and end my turn.
Leo’s Stats:
Hand: 2 Life points: 8000 (Graveyard list: Magic Cylinder, Fig Fighter, Fig Synchro)
Field:
Field Spell: Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise
Spell/Trap Zone: 2 cards face down
Monster Zone: 1 –Fig Crasher- in ATK position.

Turn 4) Lupin
All right, time for some pay back. I draw and play the spell card Lunar-Punishment!

Leo: Wait a minute; you let me inflict damage to you.

Lupin: Of course, because now with this card, I can Special Summon 1 “Lunar” monster from my hand, deck or graveyard that has an ATK equal to or less than the difference between our life points meaning I can summon a monster with 2150 ATK or less so I summon Lunar-Pup-Fang! (LV2 Light Beast/Tuner ATK:200 DEF:200)

Leo: That’s it? You spent all your life points for a pathetic puppy?

Lupin: I guess you wont mind me Synchro Summoning.

Leo: What?!

Lupin: When my pup is special summoned, if it use it in a Synchro Summon during that same turn, its level is treated as 3 instead of two. I Synchronize my pup and Ocean to Synchro Summon Lunar-Frozen Sea (LV7 Water Beast/Synchro ATK/DEF: 2500/1900) and because of its special effect, I can Special Summon 1 Water, LV4 or lower “Lunar” monster from my grave to my side of the field. Come on back Lunar-Wolf-Ocean in DEF mode. Plus, there’s more. I activate Wolf-Parade! I can only activate this card when I successfully Special summon 1 or more “Lunar” monster(s). I pay 2000 life points to Special summon 2 other “Lunar” monsters from my deck (Lupin’s life points: 5850=>3850). Say hello to Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane (LV4 Wind Beast ATK/DEF: 1700/1200) and Lunar-Wolf-Underworld (LV4 Dark Beast ATK/DEF: 1600/1600) and they get all get a power boost (Frozen Sea: ATK/DEF 2500/1900=>2700/2100 | Hurricane: ATK/DEF 1700/1200=>1900/1400 | Underworld: ATK/DEF 1600/1600=>1800/1800 | Ocean: ATK/DEF 0/1950=>200/2150). Now I use Hurricane’s effect, since Underworld is on my side of the field. I pay 500 points to return Fig Crasher to the top of your deck. (Lupin’s life points:3850->3350)”

Leo: This is not good…

Lupin: Then I use Ocean’s effect to increase my life points by 200 points for each “Lunar” card on my side of the field (Lupin’s life points: 3350+1000=4350). Now, I use my field’s special ability. I tribute my Lunar wolves Ocean, Hurricane and Underworld to Fusion Summon Lunar-Pack B-Scavenger Wolf Group (LV8, Wind Fusion/Beast ATK/DEF: 3000/3000) and activate his second effect. I gain 100 life points for each “Lunar” card in my grave (4350+600=4950). My wolf group also gets a 200 point boost. (ATK/DEF 3000/3000=>3200/3200) Pack B, attack directly!

Leo: I activate my face down, Negate Attack!

Lupin: Fine, so I can’t attack you this turn. I play 1 card face down and end my turn.

Turn 5) Leo
Well, I have to hand it to you, Lupin. You surprised me with these big time creatures. I draw. Now, this draw would’ve have stalled me…

Lupin: Huh?

Leo: If I did not have this in on the field. I activate Reckless Greed and draw two cards.

Lupin: Now you won’t be able to draw for the next 2 turns.

Leo: Normally, but it it’s not necessary since I play the Ritual Spell Fig Roots.

Lupin: Wait a minute…I…helped you?

Leo: Oh yeah. I use Fig Crasher as the card to Ritual summon one of my powerful creatures, True Fig Queen (LV8 Wind Insect/Ritual ATK/DEF: 3000/1800.) Once per turn I can place up to 3 fig counter on a Plant/Insect type monster including her so I place 3 fig counters on her. Now I summon Fig Fruit (LV3 Earth Plant ATK/DEF: 100/100). I play 1 card face down. Now I end my turn.

Turn 6) Lupin
Okay! I draw and summon Lunar-Pup-Wolfy (LV3 Earth Beast ATK/DEF: 300/300) and I activate the trap card Lunar-Instinct! I can only activate this card when I have a “Lunar-Pup” on my side of the field. I pay 1500 life points (4950-1500=3450) and draw the top three cards of my deck.

Leo: You’re leading yourself to an early grave. You’re inflicting more damage to yourself than you are to me.

Lupin: And for good reason. This deck is a double edge sword, but I’ve made it a single edge.

Leo: What do you mean?

Lupin: This is what I mean. These are the cards I drew. Lunar-Werewolf-Sunlight (LV4 Light, Beast-Warrior ATK/DEF: 1700/1700), Lunar-Wolf-Heaven (LV4 Light Beast ATK/DEF: 1600/1600) and Barricade Wolf (LV4 Earth Beast ATK/DEF: 1200/1900)! I get to Special Summon two of these so I summon both Barricade Wolf and Lunar-Wolf-Heaven in DEF mode while you lose 800. (Leo: 8000-800=7200) Not only that but they too get a power boost. (Barricade: ATK/DEF 1200/1900=>1400/2100 | Heaven: ATK/DEF 1600/1600=>1800/1800 | Wolfy: ATK/DEF 300/300=>500/500.)

Leo: Big deal. You’re still to low in life points than me.

Lupin: Not for long. I use my Lunar Pack’s second ability and gain 700 points (3450+700=4150). Then, I activate my Barricade Wolf‘s special ability. By paying 500 life points I can return 1 spell or trap card from my grave back to my hand. (Lupin’s life points: 4150-500=3650) Now, my wolf pack, attack his queen!

Leo: I activate my continuous trap, Fig Based E. Chain! I can only activate this card while there is at least 1 Insect and 1 Plant type monster on my side of the field. Each time, they would be destroyed by battle, I negate their destruction and increase their ATK by 100 points for each fig counter they had. My queen has just become stronger. (Queen: ATK 3000=>3300). (Leo’s Life points: 7200-200=7000)
I play 1 card face down and end my turn.

Turn 7) Leo
You left yourself wide open for an attack. I can’t draw, but it doesn’t mean I can’t defeat you. I use my queen’s effect and place 3 fig counter on her again. Now, my queen, attack his Puppy! Lunar-Pup-Wolfy whimpers as it’s attacked by the huge bee like monster. The queen strikes the pup with her sharp poisonous stinger and the pup glows into glowing virtual star glitter.

Lupin: Thanks! My pup’s special ability kicks in. When it is destroyed, I can special summon 1 LV4 “Lunar” monster from my hand or deck so I summon Lunar-Werewolf-Sunlight from my hand! He gains a power boost. (Sunlight: ATK/DEF 1700/1700=>1900/1900)

Leo: But look at the price. (Lupin’s life points: 3650-2800=850) I end my turn and it looks like you won’t be in the game for much longer.

Turn Lupin
Let’s see where you stand. You can’t draw and you only have two monsters backed up by 1 trap card on your side of the field.

Leo: So?

Lupin: So, you can’t do anything. I draw, use my field’s Special ability and tribute both Lunar-Wolf-Heaven and Lunar-Werewolf-Sunlight in order to Fusion Summon Lunar-Guardian-Dawn (LV6 Light Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK/DEF 2000/2000), he gets a power boost (Dawn: ATK/DEF 2000/2000=>2200/2200) and I activate his effect. Once per turn, I can destroy two face up cards on the field.

Leo: Wait, that means…

Lupin: Say good bye to your trap and you queen. A ray of light blasts Leo’s True Fig Queen and Fig Based E. Chain. Both vanish from the field. Let’s finish this. I switch –Barricade Wolf- from DEF to ATK position.

Leo: No…

Lupin: Attack and destroy his last monster Barricade Wolf! Barricade Wolf head buts the piece of fruit into oblivion. Now, Lunar-Frozen Sea attack directly. Frozen Sea conjures up steam into his left hand. He sprints swiftly half way the arena and then jumps in the air. He lands striking an explosively cold blast at Leo. (Leo’s Life points: 7000-2700=4300) Lunar-Guardian-Dawn attack directly! Dawn grasps his blade. He makes his way to Leo and delivers a blinding slash at his life points. (4300-2200=2100) Leo falls down onto his knees. Finally, Lunar-Pack B-Scavenger Wolf Group, end this duel! The three wolves sprint down to Leo and each take a bite of his remaining life points. Leo’s life points drop to 0 and the monsters fade away.

Winner: Lupin
Loser: Leo

After the match:
Leo: Hee hee. Nice match there Lupin. But you are so beat. Leo began to stand up. There is no way you will beat your next opponent.

Lupin: What makes you so sure?

Leo: You won’t be facing off against Joey. You will be facing off against Z.

Lupin: Z?

Leo: The one who is also know as the “Universe Duelist”. He will beat you cold.

Lupin: We’ll see about that.

Leo: Yes, you will. You will. Leo vanishes without a trace.

Flashback:
Leo: There is no way you will beat your next opponent.

Lupin: What makes you so sure?

Leo: You won’t be facing off against Joey. You will be facing off against Z.

Lupin: Z?

Leo: The one who is also know as the Universe Duelist. He will beat you cold.

Lupin: We’ll see about that.

Leo: Yes, you will. You will. Leo vanishes without a trace.
End of flashback.

Two days after Lupin’s duel with Leo…

Lupin stared at the sky from his apartment window. He had searched the Internet for more information about the tournament.

Lupin recalled the letter he received from Leo three days before their match.
“Lupin, I challenge you to a duel, three days from now in the Dark Alley. You are part of something great, but I want to test you myself. It has been said that certain duelists around the world will be chosen to participate in a certain tournament. You appeared on the roster and are my first opponent. Each time you win a duel, your duel disk obtains a special code that will help you go to the tournament finals. You don’t need to know anything else. After all, you will lose against me when we meet.”

The letter was quick, simple, and got straight to the point. After the match, Lupin went online and researched about the tournament until late at night. He had found out a few things. The tournament was an underground tournament that played out worldwide. There was a cash prize and some recognition for whoever won the tournament. Lupin did not care much about the tournament as a whole but he could not get the idea of his brother just disappearing into thin air, like he was a ghost or was never there in the first place. Needing to cool down from all of this, he decided to take a drink of coke and then left his apartment. He took his duel disk and his deck along with him.

Half an hour later he was at a spring in the center of town. Not many people came there that late of night and it was a really calming scene. The stars were out and the panorama was something of a relaxing sight. Lupin heard the creaking of foot steps coming his way.

Lupin: Who is it?
Silence played out for a while until it was broken by a familiar voice.

Zack: Hey Lupin. I guess you needed to cool down again, huh?
It was Zack, a close friend of Lupin.

Lupin: Oh, it’s just you Zack. So, what are you doing here?

Zack: I’ve come to face you.

Lupin: Huh?

Zack: Draw out your duel disk Lupin.

Lupin: Wait a minute, are you challenging me? That’s fine, but what’s with the serious face?

Zack: Lupin, I’m the Universal Duelist. I’m Z.

Lupin: Wait a minute…That means that you’re my…

Zack: Next opponent in order to advance in the tournament.

Lupin: Well, what do you know…

Zack Are you gonna draw you disk or do you forfeit?

Lupin takes out his duel disk.
Lupin: Since when have I ever backed down from a challenge?

Zack: That’s more like it.

Lupin: Why are you acting so serious Zack? You were never like this.

Zack: Let’s begin the duel. Beat me, and maybe then I will tell you what you need to know.

Lupin: Fine, let’s duel!

Hand Count: Lupin (Me) 5, Zack 5
Life point count: Lupin: 8000, Zack: 8000

Turn 1) Lupin:
I start things off. I draw! This’ll do for now. I summon Lunar-Werewolf-Sand (LV4 Earth Beast-Warrior ATK/DEF: 1950/500) in ATK mode. Then I play two cards face down and end my turn.
Hand: 3 cards Life points: 8000 (Grave list: none)
Field:
Spell/Trap Zone: 2 cards face down.
Monster Zone: 1 LunarWerewolfSand in ATK mode.

Turn 2) Zack:
I’ll show you why I have the title o the Universal Duelist. I draw! Next, I play Double Summon which allows me to summon twice this turn. I summon Ban’yuu Beast-Star Snake (LV3 Water Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 400/100) and Ban’yuu Beast-Star Monkey (LV3 Light Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 450/50)! Then I synchronize both of these guys to Synchro summon Celestial Beast (LV6 Light Star/Synchro ATK/DEF: 2350/2100)

Lupin: Wait a minute! You used a tuner and another tuner! You can’t do that!

Zack: It’s the effect of my Ban’yuu Beast creatures. For a Star type Synchro summon, they can be treated as either Tuner or Non tuner type monsters. I might as well tell you my Celestial Beast‘s effect. Whenever it destroys a monster as a result of battle, I gain life points equal to half of the destroyed creatures ATK. Now, Celestial Beast, attack his werewolf!

Lupin: I activate my trap! Lunar-Eclipse-Red Crescent Moon! I negate your Celestial Beast‘s attack, increase the ATK of my werewolf by 600 points (1950+600=2550) and equip him with this card.

Zack: Not bad. I play two cards face down and end my turn.
Hand: 1 Life points: 8000 Grave List: none
Extra Deck: ((Ban’yuu Beast-Star-) Snake, Monkey)
Field:
Spell/Trap: 2 cards face down.
Monster Zone: 1 Celestial Beast in ATK mode.

Turn 3) Lupin:
So, I take it your Ban’yuu Beasts go to your extra deck if they are destroyed right?

Zack: Only if they are used in a Synchro summon.

Lupin: Thanks for the info. I draw. Next, I summon Lunar-Werewolf-Gust and because I normal summoned successfully, I activate Wolf Parade! I pay 3000 life points in order to Special Summon two LV6 Lunar Fusion Monsters from my extra deck (80003000=5000). I summon Lunar-Guardian-Dusk (LV6 Dark Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK/DEF: 2000/2000) and Lunar-Guardian-Tempest (LV6 Wind Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK/DEF: 1900/2100). I use Dusk’s effect to destroy 2 face down cards on the field. Say good bye to your face downs!

The faces down cards blackened and reveal the face downs. Star Flare and Universal Future Sight. Both cards fade from the field.

Lupin: Now I activate my Tempest’s effect. I return Celestial Beast to the top of your deck!

A tornado surrounds the beast and shifts him into a glowing orb. The orb fires itself back to Zack’s duel disk. Now, everyone attacks directly!

Zack: Not so fast! I activate the trap card Star Shield!

Lupin: You can’t activate that trap from your hand!

Zack: I can since I have two Ban’yuu Beasts in my extra deck. By discarding two cards from my hand or deck to the grave, I can end the battle phase. Then, I can special summon 1 Ban’yuu Beast from my extra deck to the field so I summon my snake back to my side of the field.

Lupin: Nice move. I’ll end by playing 2 cards face down.
Hand 1 Life points: 5000 (Grave list: Wolf-Parade!)
Field:
Spell/Trap Zone: 2 face downs, 1 Lunar-Eclipse-Red Crescent Moon equipped to –Lunar-Werewolf-Sand

Turn 4) Zack:
I draw. Next I activate the spell card Celestial Contract! During this turn only, I can discard a Star type monster from my hand that is LV6 or lower and draw cards equal to its star level. Thank you for returning my Celestial Beast.

Lupin: Hmmm….

Zack: Now, I summon Ban’yuu Beast-Star Fish (LV3 Water Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 600/0) and then activate the spell Similar Summon. This card allows me to summon a monster that has the same type and star level from my hand as a monster I summoned this turn at the price of 1500 life points. (80001500=6500) I summon Ban’yuu Beast-Star Phoenix (LV3 Fire Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 600/0). Now I have three Ban’yuu Beasts on my side of the field. I Synchronized them to Synchro summon Universe – Fire (LV9 Fire Star/Synchro ATK/DEF: 3000/3000). When this card is summoned successfully, I destroy 2 cards on the field. Let’s destroy your face downs.

Lupin’s face down cards catch on fire and reveal what they were. Lunar-Howling-Song of the Moon and Lunar-Barrier.

Lupin: No!

Zack: Now, before I attack, I have to let you know something. I have four Ban’yuu Beasts in my extra deck and it’s taking up room. I activate Expanding Space: Extra Deck which makes my extra deck size 30 instead of 15 until the end of this duel. Now, let’s go to my turf. I activate the field spell Galactic Panorama This card gets the following effects depending on the amount of Ban’yuu Beasts I have in my extra deck. (If 1) Increase the ATK/DEF of all monsters on the field by 300 points. (If 2) Increase the ATK/DEF of all Star type monsters by 300 points. (If 3) Increase the ATK/DEF of all Ban’yuu Beasts on the field by 800 points. (If 4+) Increase the ATK/DEF of all my monsters by 1200 points and Ban’yuu Beast monster I control cannot be destroyed as a result of battle.

Lupin: So that means…

Zack: My Universe creature gets a hell of a power boost. (Fire ATK/DEF: 3000/3000 (+300/+300) (+300/+300) (+1200/+1200)>4800/4800) Your creatures get a power boost too, just not as much…Now, Universe – Fire attack his Lunar-Werewolf-Gust.

Universe – Fire casts a swarm of ember surrounding Lunar-Wolf-Gust. Gust howls his last howl just before being buried in the ember swarm, turning into a million glittering stars of virtual dust. (4800800=4000 damage) (Lupin’s life points: 50004000=1000)

Zack: Now I activate my Ban’yuu Beast-Star Fish‘s effect. For each Ban’yuu Beast in my extra deck, I gain 50 life points. Ban’yuu Beast-Star Phoenix is the same except you lose 50 life points for each of them. (Zack’s life points: 6500+ (4x50) =6700) (Lupin’s life points: 1000(4x50) =800) Now, just one more attack and you’ll go bye bye. I end my turn.
Hand: 1 card Life points:6700 (Grave list: Double Summon, Universal Future Sight, Star Flare, Star Shield, The Universe, The End, Celestial Contract, Celestial Beast, Similar Summon, Expanding Space: Extra Deck)
Extra Deck: ((Ban’yuu Beast-Star-) Monkey, Snake, Phoenix, Fish)
Field: Galactic Panorama
Spell/Trap Zone: 0 cards
Monster Zone: 1 Universe – Fire in ATK mode.

Turn 5) Lupin
No wonder you’re known as the Universal Duelist…Okay, this is going to be a hard situation to get out of. I draw. Lupin takes a look at the card he drew. No…way! Lets make your field go away. I play Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise! Now your monster goes back to its original ATK/DEF points and my beasts get their power boosts. (Tempest ATK/DEF: 1900/2100>2100/2300 | Dusk ATK/DEF: 2000/2000>2200/2200 | Sand ATK/DEF: 2550/500> 2750/700) But I’m still not on the safe side. I now that I have my field up, I can play this quick-play spell card! Lunar-Howling-Clan Restoring! I can only activate this card while I have at least 2 Lunar monsters on my side of the field, and have 3000 or more life points less than my opponent. I draw 1 card for each Lunar monster on my side of the field and gain 700 life points for each card I drew by this effect. At the end of the turn, however, I must destroy 2 cards on my side of the field.

Zack: Looks like you saved yourself…barely.

Lupin: Yeah. I gain 2100 life points (800+2100=2900) and draw 3 cards. Looks like I’m going to stay even longer. I play the continuous spell card Lunar-Crest-Wolf Markings. This card increases my life points each time I summon a Lunar monster onto my side of the field by 500 and when I fusion summon a Lunar monster I gain 800. I summon Lunar-Wolf-Drought (LV4 Earth Beast ATK/DEF: 1200/1700) (2900+500=3400) and then fuse both him and Lunar-Werewolf-Sand to summon Lunar-Guardian-Desert (LV6 Earth Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK/DEF: 2400/1600) (3400+800=4200) and because Lunar-Eclipse-Red Crescent Moon was destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can return 1 card from my grave to the bottom of my deck.

Lupin selects Lunar-Howling-Clan Restoring and places it on the bottom of his deck.

Lupin: Now, for the last card in my hand. I activate the spell card Lunar-Punishment! I can special summon a Lunar monster from my hand, deck or graveyard that has ATK equal to or less than the difference between our life points. (67004200=2500) I summon Elder Wolf (LV4 Light Beast ATK/DEF: 800/800) and he increase the ATK/DEF of all my Beast and Beast-Warrior type monsters (except itself) by 400 points. (4200+500=4700) (Tempest ATK/DEF: 2100/2300>2500/2800 | Dusk ATK/DEF: 2200/2200>2600/2600 | Desert ATK/DEF: 2400/1600> 2600/1800 (with field)>3000/2200 | Elder ATK/DEF: 800/800>1000/1000 (with field)) Now, Desert, attack Universe – Fire!

Zack: But they’ll destroy themselves!

Lupin: That’s the point.

Both Desert and Universe – Fire collide together, and are destroyed from the field.

Lupin: Now thanks to his effect, I can special summon one of the monsters that was used to fusion summon him. Come on back Lunar-Werewolf-Sand! (Sand ATK/DEF: 1950/500>2150/700 (with field)>2550/1100) (Lupin’s life points: 4700+500=5200) Now you’re wide open. Elder Wolf, attack directly!

The old wolf howls a cry and inflicts damage to Zack. (Zack’s life points: 67001000=5700)

Lupin: Lunar-Guardian-Tempest, attack directly!

Tempest calls forth the power of wind onto his spear and launches it at Zack with all his might. (Zack’s life points: 57002500=3200)

Lupin: Dusk, attack directly!

Dusk surrounds himself with the powers of darkness and focuses it all on his eight daggers. He launches all of them at Zack. (Zack’s life points: 32002600=600)

Lupin: Final attack Lunar-Werewolf-Sand!

The werewolf ferociously sprints toward Zack and impales him with his hammer. Zack’s life points go all the way to 0 and all the monsters fade from the scene.

Winner: Lupin
Loser: Zack

After the match:
Zack: If it wasn’t for that one card of yours, Lupin, I would’ve won.

Lupin: Talk about luck, right?

Zack: I haven’t got much time now. Here…
Zack hands Lupin his deck.

Zack: You’re gonna need it. This tournament is much more than a tournament. The people from the roster were cursed into dueling shadow games. The winner continues his life here on earth while the loser is sent to the shadow realm. Believe me Lupin. You’re in danger but you have keep dueling in order to save our lives. If you win, then you can free us, but if you lose, you’ll win the tournament but you’ll be stuck in the shadow realm forever.

Zack begins to fade.

Zack: Please Lupin. They’ve already taken Lucy and Chad.

Zack fades away with his final words:
You’re one of our last hopes…

Lupin: Zack? Zack!

Third Match

The sun made its way into the city, banning all the stars from the sky until the dusk. Lupin still stayed there, in the middle of town, holding onto Zack’s deck.

Lupin: Why did they choose us? Why did we not have a say in this?

Lupin couldn’t answer those questions himself so he brushed the idea aside. He would have to duel to get more answers. He went back to his apartment and laid down all of Zack’s cards. After an hour or so of studying Zack’s deck, he realized why the deck worked so well in the first place. More so, he was surprised that Zack had both a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a Red-Eyes B. Dragon on his deck. To top it off, he had somehow managed to get Blue-Eyes Dust Dragon and Red-Eyes Coal Dragon, the advanced and more powerful forms of the cards. Lupin combined his deck with Zack’s. Zack left me with his deck, knowing I would need it in future duels.

Lupin: Might as well use it to increase my chances of success. After all, that last match I won only because I drew out my field. I can’t let that happen again, for maybe next time I won’t be as lucky.

Lupin picked up his new hybrid deck.

Computer: You got mail. You got mail.

Lupin made his way to his computer and opened the online letter. He began reading.

Lupin: You have been invited to attend the grand opening ceremony of the new duelist game shop on the east side of town. You have also been selected as the mystery price winner of a special set of cards. We hope to see you attend this ceremony at mid day.
Current shop owner,
Dane Moto

Lupin thought deeply at the invitation. He had read about the card shop a few weeks ago and that it was scheduled to be finished just about this week. Seeing as there was nothing wrong with what was being given to him at hand, Lupin decided to go attend the ceremony. Only so many things could go wrong. By mid day, he had reached the store. It was quite noisy. The crowd was waiting for the grand opening ceremony and he could tell that they were anxious to get into the building. Within a few moments, the ribbon was cut. Everyone made their way to the store and then Lupin managed to see the stores exterior perfectly well. It was bigger than he expected. The structure was at four stories high and the width of the store seemed to be at least eighty to a hundred yards wide. How could he have not seen the structure was beyond his understanding; but he ignored it and went inside. He was greeted and within minutes and met Mr. Moto.

Mr. Moto: Hello, Mr. Lupin! So how’ve you been?

Lupin: Good, good. I see the store s a success.

Mr. Moto: Oh yes, but I’m sure you’re just here to get your prize. Well come on. Follow me.

Lupin followed the man to the third floor. There was nobody there except for a few other shoppers.

Mr. Moto: Here we are. You have won a set of some of the most powerful trap, spell and monster cards in the duel monsters gaming industry. Take a look.

Lupin found a multitude of monsters, traps and spell card he had heard about but never seen before.

Lupin: What’s the catch?

Mr. Moto: No catch. But there is someone who would like to meet you. I don’t know why, but this fellow seemed quite interested in meeting you. Oh! There he is.

Lupin turned to see a behemoth of a man walking straight towards both of them. Lupin noticed that he had a duel disk.

Behemoth: Are you Lupin… said the Behemoth.

Lupin: What if I am?

Behemoth: You. My Next opponent. Duel.

The man stomped his feet sending a shockwave that made Mr. Moto fall back. Lupin held his ground. Now!

Mr. Moto Hey, hey, hey! You guys can’t duel here. That’s what the fourth floor is for!

Behemoth: Fine. You. Go to fourth floor. Me defeat you there.

Lupin: We’ll see.

Mr. Moto: Okay, you two…follow me.

Lupin and the behemoth followed Mr. Moto to the fourth floor. Lupin was stunned by the advanced facility there. Almost everything was glowing. Metallic colors also filled the room.

Behemoth: Okay. Now. Duel!

Lupin: Yeah. Lets!

Mr. Moto: I’m going to make this duel live.

Mr. Moto went to a control panel. He clicked a few switches and button.

Meanwhile down stairs, hologram panels filled the store. They were broadcasting the fourth floors dueling facility as well as the players.

Guy 1: Hey look! A duel is being played! Let’s see!

My move. I draw! Thanks Zack. I won’t let you down! I play the spell card Expanding Space: Extra Deck which makes my Extra deck size 30 instead of 15 until the end of the duel. Now I activate Double Summon! In order to summon both Lunar-Wolf-Volcano (LV4 Fire Beast ATK/DEF 1950/0) and Ban’yuu Beast-Star Dino (LV3 Earth Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 0/600). I use both of them to Synchro Summon Lunar-Pyro Fang! (LV7 Fire Beast-Warrior/Synchro ATK/DEF: 2500/1900) Whenever he is summoned successfully, I can Special Summon 1 Fire Lunar monster from my grave. Welcome back Lunar-Wolf-Volcano! Now, since my Ban’yuu Beast is in my Extra deck, I can activate his effect. Once per turn, by paying 800 Life points, I can destroy 1 Spell or Trap card on my opponent’s side of the field. (Lupin’s Life points: 8000-800=7200) Say good bye to the card on your first Spell/Trap Zone.

Lunar-Wolf-Volcano surrounds Thunder Striker in a fury of flames. –Thunder Striker is then destroyed into a million particles of virtual dust.

Behemoth: Me activate Thunder Striker effect. If he destroyed by battle, me can summon another Thunder Striker from deck to the field. Now activate trap, Judgment of Thunder. Me can activate this card only when me summons Thunder type monster(s). Me destroy your Lunar-Pyro Fang.

Zaborg charges thunder into his palms, and then unleashes a thunder bolt at Volcano. Volcano is destroyed.

Lupin: I activate the trap card, Just In Case! I can only activate this card while I have less than four cards on my side of the field and my opponent destroys one or more of those cards. I draw three cards and activate the corresponding effects to the cards I drew: Trap: Send two cards from your opponent’s hand to the graveyard. Spell: I gain 1000 Life points. Monster: Special Summon that monster ignoring the summoning conditions (if any).

Lupin draws the three top cards from his deck.

Behemoth: Don’t care. Zaborg, attack Lunar-Wolf-Drought.

Zaborg strikes Drought with a bolt of lightning, turning him into virtual dust.

Lupin: Because you attacked him while he was in DEF mode, I gain life points equal to half Zaborg’s ATK. (8200+1200=9400).

Behemoth: Me put card face down. Go.

Lupin discards Ban’yuu Beast-Star Phoenix (LV3 Fire Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 600/0) and draws three new cards.

Lupin: Now I activate the field spell Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise!

Trees sprout from the metallic ground of the fourth floor. A nature filled panorama fills the room.

In the floors below…

Guy 1: Wow! Man, what a duel! I’ve got my money on that Wolf duelist!

Guy 2: No man! That big thunder gum’s got him beat!

Guy 1: Yeah, right! Shut it guys! Let me see the match! Crowd talks, and talks.

Back in the fourth floor…

Lupin: Now all Beast, Beast-Warrior and Warrior type monsters get 200 ATK and DEF points. (Ocean ATK/DEF: 0/1950>200/2150) Next, I summon Ban’yuu Beast-Star Ox (LV3 Earth Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 300/200). I use Ocean’s effect to gain 200 life points for each Lunar card on my side of the field. I gain 400 life points. (9400+400=9800) Then I use both of these guys to Synchro Summon Lunar-Frozen Sea (LV7 Water Beast-Warrior/Synchro ATK/DEF: 2500/1900). He gets a power boost (Frozen Sea ATK/DEF: 2500/1900> 2700/2100) and his effect kicks in. When he is summoned successfully, I can Special Summon 1 LV4 or lower Lunar monster from my graveyard back to the field. Welcome back Lunar-Wolf-Ocean! I activate his effect again since he was summoned again. I gain 600 points this time. (9800+600=10400 Life points!!) It’s going to be hard bringing me down. I use my two Ban’yuu Beasts effects, since they’re both in my Extra deck.

Behemoth: Me wonders. How did you get them there?

Lupin: My Ban’yuu Beasts? It’s their effect. When they’re sent to the graveyard by Synchro Summon, they are sent to my Extra Deck instead. Now, I pay 800 Life points to destroy your face down card! (10400800=9600)

Behemoth’s face down card begins to shine and reveals itself. Lightning Cell ((Continuous Trap) This card can only be activated during your main phase 1. Discard 1 card from your hand. Destroy 1 card on each player’s side of the field. Both players then special summon 1 monster card from their decks to their sides of the field. During the end phase, switch control of those monsters Special Summoned by this effect.

Now, Lunar-Frozen Sea, attack his Zaborg!

Behemoth: Me activates quick play spell, Thunder Collision. When Thunder type monster is attacked, Thunder monster becomes the same ATK power as attacking monster.

Lupin: I don’t understand…

Behemoth: Read card.

Behemoth: Both destroyed.

Lunar-Frozen Sea and Zaborg collide and are destroyed.

Lupin: Frozen Sea’s effect kicks in! When he is destroyed, I can return either one Tuner or Lunar monster from my grave to my side of the field. Say hello to Ban’yuu Beast-Star Phoenix! Then I synchronize Phoenix and Ocean to Synchro Summon Lunar-Beastmaster (LV7 Earth Beast-Warrior/Synchro ATK/DEF: 2500/1900) who gains a few points, (Beastmaster ATK/DEF: 2500/1900>2700/2100) and allows me to Special Summon 1 Earth LV4 or lower Lunar monster from my grave to the field. Lupin summons Lunar-Wolf-Drought in DEF mode who gains a 200 points boost. (Drought ATK/DEF: 1200/1700>1400/1900) Finally, I activate my Phoenix’s effect so you lose 150 LIFE POINTS (Behemoth’s life points: 8000-150=7850). I play one card face down. Your move.

Me summons, Plus 2 Ion (LV3 Light Thunder/Tuner ATK/DEF: 400/900), and Thunder Bolt Archer (LV4 Light Thunder ATK/DEF 1400/1500). Next, me Synchro Summon Voltage Conductor (LV8 Light Thunder/Synchro ATK/DEF: 2600/2000)

Lupin: Wait…three plus four is seven, not eight! How can you summon that Synchro monster?

Behemoth: Effect of Plus 2 Ion. If me have Thunder monster(s) in my grave, his LV gains either +1 or +2 for a Thunder type Synchro Summon. Now me activates Voltage Conductor effect. For each Thunder monster in grave, decrease the ATK of all non-Thunder type monsters by 100 points.

Lupin: Argh! (Beastmaster ATK: 2700>2200 | Drought ATK: 1400>900)

Guy 1: As if. I bet he’s got a super powerful face down that will wipe the floor with this big guy. Heck, he doesn’t even know how to talk clearly!

A girl turns around from in front of them.

Girl: Well they both duel better than both of you two dim wits. That’s for sure. You wouldn’t even last two seconds against either one of them.

Guy 2: Oh! Does that mean you’re asking me out on a date?

Spell: Gain Life points equal to half the total damage you take this turn. Trap: Destroy 2 cards on the field. Monster: Draw an additional two cards. This’ll work. Anything I draw is good at this point.

Lupin draws the top card and reveals it to his opponent.

Lupin: The card I drew was Lunar-Werewolf-Sunlight (LV4 Light Beast-Warrior ATK/DEF: 1700/1700) so I draw an additional two cards.

Behemoth: Good. Me still attack directly with creatures.

Voltage conductor sends an electrical charge to Thunder Art Apprentice. The apprentice lunges towards Lupin and inflicts a jolt of electricity at him. (Lupin’s life points: 91003800=5300)

Lupin: Only what?

Behemoth: The only one who can save us.

The behemoth vanished.

Mr. Moto: What just happened? Mr. Moto asked.

Lupin: He vanished…
---

As you can see, I foreshadowed a match between Lupin and the dim wit. I came up with this idea because my cousins were talking about their boyfriends. Hope ya’ll enjoyed it. More to come!

Fourth Duel

Lupin went down stairs carrying the two cards the Behemoth had given him while carrying the cards that Mr. Moto gave him. So the shadow realm thing is true. Mr. Moto followed him down into the crowd of people. When they saw Lupin, they began cheering, but the wails stopped as soon as a guy stepped in front of Lupin with a duel disk.

Guy 1: I challenge you to a duel!

Lupin: And you are?

Jake: Name’s Jake Travis, and I’m going to mop the floor with you.

Everyone began booing. Just behind him, a few steps away, was the girl.

Girl: What an idiot, but it will be fun to watch.

Lupin: I never turn down a challenge, and I am not gonna start now.

Crowd: Ooh!

Jake: Shut it kid.

Mr. Moto: If you two are gonna duel, then I guess we have to go back to the fourth floor.

Lupin: Mr. Moto, could we at least duel here just this duel?

Mr. Moto pressed his eyes with his left hand.

Mr. Moto: Fine, but only this duel. Anyone who wants to duel after this match will have to go to the fourth floor, understand!

Jake: Then let’s duel!

Lupin: Yes. Lets

The crowd made way for the duelists, and the duel began.

Since I have Shadow on my side of the field, Gust can return a monster on the field back to the owner’s hand. A gust of wind encircles the Sailor and sends him back to Jake’s hand. Now, I play the field spell Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise! I use one of its effects and tribute all three of my Lunar monsters to fusion summon Lunar-Pack C-Saboteur Wolf Group (LV8 Water Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK/DEF: 3000/3000) and my wolves get a power boost.

Time to end this duel. I draw. I play the spell card Lunar-Metamorphosis. I pay 800 life points and tribute Lunar-Werewolf-Sand to Special summon Lunar-Guardian-Desert (LV6 Earth Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK/DEF: 2400/1600) and he gains a boost in strength. (Desert ATK/DEF: 2400/1600>2600/1800) Now, Desert, attack his face down monster!

Jake: Thanks! My face down monster in non other than Pyramid Turtle and when he is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one Zombie Type monster from my deck that has DEF equal to or less than 2000 points!

Lupin: But your monster wasn’t sent to the graveyard.

Jake: What?

Lupin: Desert’s effect. If he destroys a monster, it is sent out of play instead.

Jake: No…no!

Lupin: Pack C, finish him off.

Jake’s life points decline to 0 and the monsters fade.

Winner: Lupin
Loser: Jake

After the match.
Lupin picks up his things. Jake is being laughed at. Lupin walks out the door when Jake runs off, thrashing him aside.

Jake: I’ll get you for this man, if it’s the last thing I do!
Lupin ignores Jake and walks back to his apartment along with his prizes. He had a raw taste in his mouth from defeating Jake the way he did.
