Shinsei had hoped his return home would be an easy one looking forward to playing some video games, but his plan was put on hold after a voice yelled from behind him. "HEY YOU, WHAT'S YOUR ISSUE?!" Directed towards Shinsei he turned around and stared at the student yelling at him. At first glance the boy was nothing special looking, but his pants seemed very outlandish, almost appearing as clown pants to Shinsei.

Before Shinsei could process what got the boy so upset, something stupid most likely Shinsei thought, he made a comment about his height. A crack about being an elementary student set Shinsei off as he could feel a blood vessel about to burst. He yelled back at the boy “WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO ME YOU CLOWN PANTS WEARING LOSER!” Full of rage Shinsei was bursting to punch this guy out, but after just getting out of detention maybe starting a fight on school grounds again wasn’t the best of ideas. But that reasoning was still not enough to stop him from bursting out at the stranger. “I ought to kick your ass, give me one reason not to knock you down right now!” To many onlookers the sight might seem comical, the short one posturing a threat of violence to someone that could use him as a footstool. But one should not underestimate the Napoleon complex, and the burning rage of a red head; a dangerous combination.

Shinsei had never met someone so insufferable as they just kept throwing insults towards him with short comments one after another. It took everything within the boy to not just punch this guy in his smug face. But after just getting out of detention, it was maybe not the wisest idea to start another fight on school grounds. But no one ever said Shinsei was wise. With his fist clenched, Shinsei was about to raise it upwards and bash it over this guy's skull. But his thought was interrupted as they brought up their duel disk. While not what Shinsei was thinking, a test of skills was still to be put out. This way Shinsei could beat his opponent and humiliate them at the same time by showing the gap between them. But before Shinsei could accept a final comment set him over the edge once again.[]

“ALRIGHT CHUMP! YOU WANT TO BE BEATEN SO BADLY FINE! I’LL DUEL YOU!” Shinsei yelled out in a burst of frustration. Shinsei started to walk away as he pulled out his own duel disk, the devices strapped around his wrist. Mumbling various insults and curses towards his opponent Shinsei was at the very least trying to find the silver lining in all this. After this duel he could rub it in his opponents face and beat him so bad he’d never forget it.

Shinsei reached a good enough distance as he turned around to face his opponent. Not willing to allow his opponent even have the choice he yelled out “I’m going first you got that?!” Shinsei drew his five cards and started the duel

Shinsei knew exactly what his game plan for this turn was, a plan to counter whatever his opponent would throw at him. “I activate Synchro Overtake!” This card allowed Shinsei to reveal a Synchro monster and add a monster on the card's materials. He revealed Junk Warrior who had Junk synchron required as a tuner. But the card locked him into Synchros for the turn.

With Junk Synchron in hand Shinsei continued his play “I normal summon Synchron carrier who allows me to normal summon another Synchron monster!” Shinsei summoned out the Junk Synchron just added to make a tuner and non-tuner on the field. The play was obvious as now Shinsei had the ability to Synchro summon. The two monsters jumped into the air and formed a synchro portal forming together becoming Junk Speeder.

Junk Speeders effect triggered forming three portals behind the monster as three different Synchron tuners appeared; Cyberse Synchron, Satellite Synchron, and Junk Synchron. “I activate Monster reborn!” Shinsei revived the Synchron Carrier onto the field to continue the Synchro summons. Carrier and Junk Synchron together made into T.G Librarian, a powerful Synchro monster who allowed the player to draw every Synchro summon. Cyberse Synchron and Junk Speeder lead into Stardust Charge who gave an additional draw, and then with Satellite Synchron with charge made into Draco Berserker of the Tenyi. But where one would think the turn was over, Shinsei activated one for one, discarding Assault Beast in his hand to summon Psi-Reflector. Psi-Reflectors effect triggered to add Assault Mode towards his hand which allowed the other effect to activate. By revealing his Assault mode, Shinsei could revive Assault Beast and increase its level up by four. But Shinsei only increases its level by two for another Synchro summon, into Shooting Riser Dragon. Upon the monsters summon Shinsei sent from his deck an Ascator Dawnwalker to reduce the monster's level by two.

With all the Synchros summoned T.G Librarian pulled off many draws giving Shinsei an advantageous position. With a five card hand and Berserker to banish whatever monster effect the clown would attempt to activate, and Shooting to pull out a little surprise for them. There was nothing that they could do to counter this board, or so he thought.

“Try and beat this you weak punk!” Shinsei yelled out as he ended his turn. Shinsei’s aggravated attitude and posturing started to gain the attraction of many of the students around, many just leaving clubs or on their way home. Not all who passed by stayed to watch the duel continue but some did, some recognizing Shinsei from his conflict at the cafeteria.

    Watching his opponents turn, Allen couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Man, I thought your people were supposed to be jolly and cheery. Did Snow White lie to me?" Allen asked as his opponent angerly played his cards, giving.... no theatrics what-so-ever. Looking at the monsters, he was at least impressed by them. "Are you normally this.... unshowy while playing, or is it because you're pissed off enough to actually explode?" He asked, honestly curious about that matter. His opponent seemed very... by the books of the tournament league, where they played more for the sake of the game, rather than the entertainment value it presents, like the pro league.

    Putting it aside for his turn, however, Allen slid his fingers across the top of his holographic duel disk, drawing the card as he looked at what he could do. 'Hmm.... two rods, a dark magician, a Magician's Souls, secrets of dark magic, and spellbook of knowledge....' He thought, before grabbing one of the rods and tossing it up into the air. In the air, the card dissolved into a ball of light, that floated up to its peak, before crashing down, enlonging and growing thinner as it fell. Catching it out of the air, Allen spun it, shaking away the lights from it, revealing it to be Dark Magician's Staff. "I summon Magician's rod. Thanks to its effect, I add to my hand a spell or trap listing 'Dark Magician' in its text from my deck. I choose 'Dark Magical Circle'." He said, eyeing Dracoberserker, as a light radiated from the staff. Stamping the bottom of the staff onto the ground, the staff stuck into the ground as the light split off from the staff, hovering over it, before floating into his left hand, turning into another card. 'Well, he didn't banish Rod... I need to be wary of it.' He thought, keeping an eye on dracoberserker.

  With a flourish, Allen grabbed another card from his hand and snapped it, which turned into a book that landed in his right hand. As if possessed, the book opened and the pages rapidly flapped through. "I activate spellbook of knowledge. By sending my staff to the grave, I can draw two cards." He said, as the staff next to him, along with the book, dissolved into light, turning into two balls of light that Allen grabbed. Looking at them, Allen was fairly impressed with what he had at his disposal now. 'Dark Magician Girl usually isn't helpful, but with that card I just added in last night....' He thought, looking at the card he just drew with a smile on his face.

    Grabbing a monster from his hand, he held the card out and snapped his fingers, dissolving the card into light. "Next, I activate Magician's souls, sending Dark magician to the grave from my deck as cost, to se-" Allen started to say, but was interrupted by his opponent. "Screw off clown, I activate Dracoberserkers effect to banish your monster! Now you don't get the effect!" To which, Dracoberserker let out a battle cry, before holding his left hand up towards Allen with his right hand pulled back and opened. Quickly forming in its palm was a black hole. Thrusting the right palm forward, the black hole absorbed the ghostly images of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, whom were starting to appear from Magician's Soul's effect. Tsking his tongue, as Allen was hoping the effect would still go off, he continued his plays.

    "That's fine, Souls did it's job perfectly well." He said, sidestepping over to the right, holding up a card from his hand that immediately turned into a blue, multi circle glyph. An identical copy of that glyph appeared on the ground a few zones over from him. "I activate Secrets of Dark Magic, fusing from my hand, my Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!" Allen explained, tossing the two cards out of his hand through the spell circle. At the other side, Dark Magician and Dark Magician girl rose up out of it together in tandem with Allen's summoning chant. "Grand magicians of old, appear and fight together! I fusion summon, The Dark Magicians!" He exclaimed, which at the end of the chant, the magicians together pointed their staves at Shinsei. Allen could visibly see Shinsei grimace at his chant, but not bothering to care, Allen pressed off the ground, crossing two spell zones over to the left as he pressed his hand forward, making a green spell circle appear. "I activate Dark Magical Circle. On activation I c-" Allen started to explain as his opponent once more butted in.

    "I activate Shooting Riser Dragon's effect to synchro summon on your turn, Clown!" His opponent yelled out, as his dracoberserker and Shooting Riser dragon formed into a pillar of light. As the light died down, a colossal robot stood in it's place. Decked out in pieces and part of a satellite, Allen's first thought was that his opponent summoned a satellite transformer. Allen would be lying if he wasn't a bit intimidated by it. 'Still, it can't activate in this chain...' He thought as solace, before finishing his explanation of his own card. "... Anyway, on activation, I can look at the top 3 cards of my deck and add one 'Dark Magician' or one Spell or trap that lists Dark magician by name. Sadly, there are none, so I don't add anything. But, I do get to decide the order in which they go back onto the top of my deck." Allen finished explaining, having been looking at the cards that appeared in the circle for him to see. However, he smiled at what he saw. 'Woohoo, monster reborn! Putting that on top!' He thought, deciding the order for the cards, which ended that chain.

    Immediately, Hyper Librarian holds up his book, indicating that Shinsei gets to draw one card as chainlink 1, while the Dark Magician's raised their staves, indicating Allen gets to draw one as chainlink 2. Finally, his opponent yelled out with sadistic glee, "Hope you enjoyed this duel! Cause now you're gonna lose here!" With that, his effect was declared, intending to destroy both Dark Magical Circle and The Dark Magician's. Powering up his cannons, the giant robot aimed them straight up, shooting them off into the sky, before they fell out of it, intending to blast the magicians and spell circle to nothingness. With a bright, wide smile, Allen grabbed the spell card he had drawn off spellbook of secrets, held it up towards the sky, and called out. "Neither hell nor heaven can stop Magic's advancements, let alone your robot! I activate the quickplay spell 'Dark Magic Expanded'!!" Allen called out, as the card dissolved into light, turning into a spell circle above his hand. It flew up out of his palm and expanded, turning into giant magical shield that easily warded off the destruction that Satellite warrior went to inflict, before floating it down and etching itself into Allens side of the field.

    "When I activate Dark Magic Expanded, I get effects until the end of my turn based on the number of 'Dark Magician' and 'Dark Magician Girl' monsters in my grave and on my field. I have 3, so I gain all 3 effects. First, the Dark Magician's gains a thousand attack. Second, you cannot destroy my spells and traps, nor can you activate cards in response to them. Third, my spellcasters are unaffected by your card effects." Allen explained, drawing his card as the chain finished with his explanation. His opponent seemed to be taking a moment to process it, before they shouted, "You suck prick!" at him. Smiling at that, Allen held up the card he just drew and activated it without even looking at the card. "I activate Monster Reborn. I'm going to revive your 'Dracoberserker of the Tenyi' to my side of the field!" He said, as the spell circle appeared in front of his palm, opening up a black portal on the ground, from which the demonic dragon man climbed out of, letting out a battle ready roar. "Fine I'll kill that traitor along with you!" His opponent cried out at that move. Allen couldn't help but wince at how his opponent was treating his own cards with that.

    'Hmm.... His satellite warrior would revive Stardust charge warrior on death... Lets kill it first with dracoberserker, then kill the revived charge warrior.' Allen thought, reading over the effects of Satellite warrior and Dracoberserker. "Battle!" Allen called out, declaring the end of the main phase 1. "I attack Satellite Warrior with Dracoberserker!" He commanded, to which the dragon man let out a roar, going and performing a roundhouse kick at the robots head. While the kick inflicted some damage, a small, little shield looking drone appeared in front of Dracoberserkers foot, blocking the attack from killing Satellite Warrior. 'Tch, I forgot about Cyberse Synchron being in the grave.' He thought as Dracoberserker landed back on his side of the field, looking completely disgruntled about being denied its victory. Ignoring the antimation the dragon man was doing, Allen raised his left hand towards the Dark Magicians. "You're up next. The dark magicians attacks Hyper Librarian!" He called out, to which they clinked their stave tops together, shooting out a magical beam that blasted a hole through Hyper librarian, shattering him into light fragments. The combined damage from these two attacks dropped Shinsei down to 6100. "And with that, I end my turn, and the effects of Dark Magic Expanded disappear." He said, as the attack boost disappeared.

    'Crap crap crap!' Allen thought as his field was decimated. Bracing for impact with his arms crossed and covering his face, he skidded back a few inches as Satellite warrior's attack landed, dropping his lifepoints dramatically. Looking at his opponent as he rattled off a cliché villain line, Allen let out a frustrated sigh. "You know, you're really grating to play against. You don't respect your opponent, you don't respect your cards, and you spout the most cliché villain lines possible." Allen said, venting. "Do you even like dueling? From where I'm standing, you don't respect anything about it. You just want to use it as a tool to assert dominance." He continued, letting his grievances about the current duel out. "But, I can tell you this. This game? Definitely not going to go in any way you can predict." Allen said, raising his right hand up in front of his face, pointing one finger up to make the shushing gesture, with one eye closed as he looked directly at Shinsei. "The reason? Because as a great duelist once said; 'There's not a pathetic card in my deck!' So get ready, because it's time for the climax of this show!!" Allen claimed, putting his hand to his duel disk.

    "Final turn! I draw!" Allen called out, dramatically swiping his hand from his disk to draw his card. He had no field, and with the card he just drew, he only had three cards in hand to attempt to deal with Shinsei's board and win this turn. 'Alright, what do I have to work with...' He thought, looking down at the cards he had in hand. He knew he had Magician's Rod and Spellbook of Secrets in hand, but after his deck was shuffled by The Dark Magician's effect, he wasn't sure what he'd draw in place of Mana Dragon Zirnitron. 'Eye of Timaeus?' He thought, internally grimacing at this draw. 'I was seriously hoping for Magicalized Fusion.' He thought, before instead grabbing a card from his hand and throwing it straight up into the air. reaching the apex of its air time, it turned into a ball of light, turning into a staff that Allen once more caught and stamped the bottom of into the ground. "First, I summon Magician's rod, and I use its effect to add to my hand Soul Servant." Allen said, grabbing the ball of light hovering above the staff with his left hand.

    Next, Allen held out his right hand. Appearing in it, once more was a familiar spellbook. The spellbook of secrets. "I activate spellbook of secrets to add to my hand Spellbook of knowledge, And then I'll activate it." Allen said, as the book shimmered with light, morphing into the spellbook of knowledge without Allen even motioning for it. However, Allen snapped his fingers on his left hand, making the pages freeze in the wind. Using his left hand, he turned the pages to a specific spot in the book as he spoke. "However, as chain link 2, I activate Soul Servant, letting me place one card that specifically lists 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' in its text on the top of my deck. I choose Magicians' souls." He said, as the book's time returned, dissolving into two balls of light. Grabbing them, Allen checked the other card he drew. 'Eternal Soul? You don't help me.' He groaned internally. Normally Eternal Soul was a fantastic draw, but in this situation it did nothing, as with his declaration, he knew that if he didn't pull off a win this turn, that next turn Shinsei would demolish him.

    Grabbing Magicians' Souls, Allen threw it straight up causing a black portal to emerge. "Just like last turn, I'm activating Magicians' souls. This time, it's sending palladium Oracle Mana to the grave as cost, as well as sending Souls itself to the grave as part of the effect, to special summon Dark Magician!" Allen said, as the magician, cloaked in black robes, emerged from the portal. Dark Magician put its left hand to its chest, which created a shining light in said hand, before throwing it to Allen. "I activate Soul Servant's Grave effect. By banishing it, I draw 1 card per name in the grave of specific monsters. Because I have Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Palladium Oracle Mana in my grave, I draw 3 cards!" He called out, checking his now 5 card hand. 

    'Another souls, dark magic attack... Oh, Bond!' Allen thought, mentally cheering in his head. With that card, he realized his path to victory. Confidently, Allen held up the spell and snapped his fingers. A black portal emerged next to Dark Magician, with the all too familiar apprentice to him jumping out of it. "I activate Bonds between Teacher and Student. If I control Dark Magician, I can summon Dark Magician Girl from either my Hand, Deck, or Grave, then I can set one of four cards to my field from my deck. I choose to set Dark Burning Magic." Allen said, as a facedown card appeared on his field briefly before disappearing, like most other set cards. Allen could see Shinsei read the card as it popped up for him. However, this was all misdirection on Allen's part. 

    "Now, I activate The Eye of Timaeus!" Allen said, holding up the card and snapping it between his fingers. "I target Dark Magician with it, allowing me to fusion summon a monster using only Dark Magician as the material!" He explained as a phantasmal dragon descended from the skies, wrapping itself around Dark Magician. The two disappeared into a large ball of light shaped like an egg. "Control light and darkness, and bring order to the chaotic flow! I fusion summon, Master of Chaos!" Allen called out his summoning chant as a sword pierced through the top of the egg, before swiftly slicing through most of the egg. Then, with a loud sound of glass breaking, that sword cut out once more, breaking the egg. Standing where the egg was, was a handsome blonde haired man in blue and black cloth that had fur trim in various places, along with armor on his hips, legs, chest, and left arm. With a sweep of his blue and gold sword, he sent out a slash of dark light into the air, cutting open another portal.

    "When Master of Chaos is successfully fusion summoned, I can special summon one Light monster or one Dark Monster from my grave." Allen explained. He was sure that Shinsei, and most of the people watching, were expecting Dark Magician after Allen set Dark Burning Magic. However, reality didn't happen that way. With a smile, Allen finished explaining his play. "I summon.... Dark Magician Girl!" He said as another dark magician girl descended from the portal that Master of Chaos had summoned. This one was slightly different from the other Dark Magician girl on the field. Her skin was slightly more tan, and her outfit was red in contrast to the others blue. "As I said, this duel isn't going to go in any way you can predict." Allen said, before holding his hand up, indicating to the two girls what he was going to do. With a nod from the red magician girl, she put her back to the other Dark Magician Girls, and held her hands. Closing their eyes, they both hovered in the air, before floating up into a starry looking portal above them. "Apprentice of the grand magician! Appear and grant my request! Lend me your power to free the abused warrior!" Allen chanted a unique, situational chant as the monster descended from the starry portal. She looked just like Dark Magician Girl, with some slight changes. Her hair was slightly longer, and a bit more well kept. Her outfit was a jet black with silver accents and a purple cloak. On her chest was a tattoo of an Ankh, and she generally had a more dignified air to her. "I Xyz Summon! Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal!!" Allen finished as she landed, striking a pose and flashing a peace sign with her left hand, as her right hand was holding her staff.

    Allen could tell Shinsei was confused by this play. It was a... fairly common thing in the school, that most people strictly played monsters belonging to their dorms mechanic. If they played monsters not of that mechanic, they tended to be weak, utility monsters, like Dragunity Knight - Romulus. However, Allen was different. in all rights, all of his extra deck monsters served a purpose past just being a utility. Pointing towards Satellite Warrior, Allen smiled as he called out his play. "I activate Magi's effect. I detach one material from her, and banish one card from my hand...." He started to explain, as Dark Magic Attack burned out in a teal-ish green flame, alongside one of Magi's overlay units that flew into her staff. Appearing around Satellite warrior, was hundreds of Runic characters, that latched and clung onto him. The light from his eyes, which was originally white, turned the same magical green color as the runes. Walking across the field, Satellite Warrior stopped next to Magi. "I get to take control of one of your monsters on the field until the end of the turn." He finished his explanation.

    He could tell that Shinsei was absolutely stunned at this point, and Allen knew why. No one would expect their monster to just be taken like that as a way to clear the board. Jumping up, Magi stepped on the glowing green runes that appeared under her feet, before landing on Satellite Warriors Shoulder, sitting down on it as she raised her staff up into the air. "As I said, you don't respect your cards, your opponent, or even the game. You can only blame your monster revolting against you on yourself." Allen said, raising his hand into the air. As he did, Magi's staff glowed and a vortex opened behind Satellite Warrior, revealing countless stars and the moon. The moon and stars shimmered as the light they radiated was collected by Satellite Warriors solar panels, which started to glow with a soothing emerald green light. Charing his cannons, the tips of the cannons glowed that same emerald green as Magi waved her staff once more, erecting several magic circles in front of each cannon, all of them pointed towards Shinsei. Swinging his hand down, Allen called out. "So I hope you enjoy the might of your own monster crashing down on you! Celestial Cataclysm!!" He yelled out, declaring his attack as Magi and Satellite Warrior's combined attack blasted Shinsei, wiping out his lifepoints with 7600 points of damage to Shinsei's 6100 remaining lifepoints.

    Putting his left foot behind him, Allen raised his right arm to his chest and held his left arm off to the side as he gave a bow towards Shinsei. "And with that, the show is over!" He said, claiming his victory.
