Shadow knew that the two trap cards she laid down were going be useful, once King Gazelle was destroyed, but it wasn't going to be easy with Jaden as her tag partner. That's not to say that she didn't want him to be involved; she just didn't want to risk using them if his monsters get destroyed beforehand. "Sweet draw, Jay", she calmly complimented her partner, once Elemental Avian put itself in defense mode. Shadow was all too familiar with Yuki's cards ten months prior: An "Elemental Hero" deck; a deck he longly mastered, she remembered. The praise between one another was cut short...once the spell card "Heavy Storm" came into play. With her and Jaden's traps wiped off the board, the former genie remembered one of Yami's lessons: [i]"Don't rely too much on Spells and Traps."[/i] She may have went a little too easy, but wait...she then held herself back, recalling to herself that can't get too impulsive in a duel. Shadow was better than that; she couldn't force herself to be someone she's not. Even though she was publicly titled as the 'Queen of Games', she was only known for being one of the great ace monsters in Yugi's/Yami's deck. 

For the first time, she just wasn't sure what she was more valuable for: personal dueling, or a monster in-play. With these preoccupied thoughts, she wasn't prepared into coming face to face with Crowler's recent summoning: Ancient Gear Golem. All Shadow could do was look at the huge metal soldier in astonishment. "That is, one heavy piece of metal", was all she could say. She never felt such vulnerability. Bracing herself for the direct attack, the disguised genie stood her ground as their points dropped to 2500. "I'm good, just getting warmed up", she reassured Jaden with a confident smile that showed a small trace of deviousness. 

Taking her draw, Shadow gathered herself in courage, and made her play. "I gonna summon the graceful [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Queen%27s_Knight]Queen's Knight[/url] in DEF mode!", a blonde-haired woman in cherry-red warrior's armor with an equipped sword and shield appeared before her, kneeling in the same position as Jaden's Elemental Avian, with 1500 ATK and 1600 DEF. "Now that her majesty demands attention, I'm also summoning her beloved [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/King%27s_Knight]King's Knight[/url] from my hand in Attack mode!", another knight made itself known: a muscular warrior-like blonde male with golden armor, a purple cape, and his equipped sword, next to the queen, with 1600 ATK and 1400 DEF. "But wait, there's more! With both of my royal knights in play, I get to summon one more from my deck! Let's complete the royal family with the [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Jack%27s_Knight]Jack's Knight[/url] in Attack mode!", once more, a third knight came out in play: a long, brown-haired young male with tanned skin, blue and silver armor, with a shield and a sword came forward with 1900 ATK and 1000 DEF, completing a whole line of three Knights. "I end my turn with one card face down!"

[i]"Whoa! All three Knights in one move!?"
"Talk about a whole attack force, wouldn't you say, Chazz?"[/i]
