Sorry, took me forever to notice this was here... just like Kellam XD

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Krystal Rodes

@Caits @Silverfox

"So, any advice before I go?" Krystal asked her guild mates, feeling a bit nervous.

"Stay calm, don't get cocky, and avoid showing off like the whale-man did." Pyrrha said, wincing a bit as she spoke. That bruise still hurt like hell.

"Exactly as she said. And remember, we aren't here to win, but simply to prove that we are worth something and worth having around." Fraquar said as he did some maintenance on his mechanical arm. He looked over at the young girl and smiled."Of course, your magic is naturally showing off a bit, so just focus on the fight."

"Over all, just have fun out there and don't push yourself. I reckin' you'll be fine." Delsin added.

"They've summarized everything I think." Sigurd said, patting Krystal on her right shoulder.

Giving her guild a small smile and thanking them, Krytal headed down to the arena. She felt nervous with so many eyes on her but she took a deep breathe to calm herself. She also knew she was against a mage from one of the stronger guilds. She was just a nobody but she hoped her magic would prove to be at least a decent challenge to this Karn person. Looking up at the sky, she smiled again. Maybe the sunlight reflecting off her creations would blind him.

Jack, the Maiden of the Mist

@Zarkun

"There's one of the members I don't know. I wonder what she uses." Jackie said, looking down as Krystal entered the arena "... Why do I suddenly feel annoyed?"

Joshua Tamashii

@Amaya Yashia @Jangel13

Joshua smiled as Amaya began talking with Angelo. He knew she had a hard time talking with people she didn't know, but this would be a good exercise for her. Though he was slightly annoyed to see Angelo sit next to Amaya, he didn't object and sat down opposite of them, deciding to stay out of the conversation for now.

Lucus Griffonbane

@Amaya Yashia

"Your guild master holds a grudge too well. Chances of her letting us be allies are slim. Even if some of your other guild mates would want to be allies, I doubt Jamie will ever agree." Lucus said.

@Caits Shall I post as Krystal entering the Arena?

Yu-gi-oh! Scattered Memories

Adrien sighed and shook his head. 'Well he's a bit full of himself. Especially for someone who couldn't even get past the first tier of my deck, of course I'm one to talk on that.' Adrien thought to himself as he turned to Amelia and smiled once more. At least seeing new potential always brightened up things. "Well Amelia, looks likes it's back to just you and me huh?" Adrien said cheerfully. "What do you think after that one?"

"I think you're both rather rude, but he's actually smarter then you give him credit for. He had two decks but why use one that had a lower chance of winning against you?" Amelia said

Adrien turned his head to where Josh walked off still smiling. "Because you use a weaker deck to test people Amelia, and while that's all fun in games, I don't just show people my full deck if they aren't willing to show me what they really have either. Though I'll give you one thing. You're right that I don't give him enough credit, though I could say the same about you giving me credit you know? His deck is overly predictable which is why I didn't have to worry one bit. Gem Knights will always be strong, but if you know what to expect they're quite simple to deal with. Now, what shall we do next?" Adrien offered.

"If a deck is overly predictable, then how do you counter the predictability?" Amelia asked, obviously not going to drop this soon.

"Well that's the simple part. You just do what I do. Let them believe that your deck is completely predictable. The trick is not letting it actually be that predictable. Or I suppose you could go with the method of some decks and try and make it too good to matter, though that's not really a thing, but hey it's always amusing to see people try right? Another thing you could do is just not make a predictable deck. Make something unique." Adrien randomly got a huge grin on his face and started laughing.

"So Archetypes are pointless." Amelia summarized

While laughing a bit still Adrien nodded. "If all you have is that Archetype, then yeah. It's basically doomed to fail against any real duelist." Adrien sighed and calmed down. "I learned that the hard way when I was younger. That's why when I got my first Red-Eyes and I changed my deck up a bit I knew what I wanted to do for my true deck."

"So I'm doomed to fail." Amelia said, sounding miserable now. "Might as well give up."

Adrien shook his head. "There you go with that doom and gloom stuff again. We'll work out something just for you, don't you worry. The first trick is figuring out what truly suites you though, then we'll go from there. Also that reminds me, you owe me a more complete and honest answer now Amelia." Adrien looked her in the eye more serious this time, but not losing the sense of care.

"I know what I want. I simply can't seem to have it." Amelia said, not looking Adrien in the eye as her cheeks turned a bit red." So what do you want to know?"

"Where to start with you, hmmm. Let's go with why you're always so down about your lack of dreams, and Duel Monsters first." Adrien replied. He had to get answers and help her, but she definitely was going to be a bit more difficult than others.

"That ties in with everything else." Amelia said. "My parents own several big companies. I'm their only child and thus their only heir. As such, I'm set to inherit everything. My entire life has been planned out for me."

"Ah, well that would definitely explain a few things. Tell me do you know anything about the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons?" Adrien pondered.

"Seto Kaiba." Amelia said. "Who doesn't know about them?"

"Exactly. And do you know anything about Seto Kaiba himself?" At this point Adrien was wondering if he could get Amelia to give herself hope, or perhaps he would have to explain, either way hopefully he could work this out on the fly.

Amelia gave Adrien a look that seemed to ask how stupid he thought she was.

"Humor me..." He bluntly stated.

"Took over his adopted fathers company, made it into his own, transforming it from a weapons producing company to what we know it as today. Unlike him though, I can't pull that off." Amelia said

Adrien laughed a little. "Well that wasn't what I was trying to get you to do so that's fine. The point here is do you really think his adopted father let him learn to play the game and practice, or even collect the cards?" Adrien gave her a quizical look.

"No. And neither do mine." Amelia said

"So what? You think Seto Kaiba just rolled over and took it? Of course not! He practiced anyway, he found ways to improve, hell he-"

"HE had a support system. I have nothing." Amelia interupted

Adrien gave Amelia a wide grin. "Well that's not true at all! For one you got me now! Secondly I know someone that would be more than happy to help, if not more than that! Hate to break it to you Amelia, but starting today you just got that support system you've been needing, so let's try this again. What is your dream Amelia?" At this point Adrien wasn't going to take no for an answer. Whether she liked it or not, she had his support now.

"You think a bunch of people they don't know or acknowledge are going to change anything?" Amelia asked

Adrien chuckled. "What they don't know, won't hurt them, right?" Adrien then winked at Amelia.

"... I just want to be free. I want to leave my life behind." Amelia said, putting her head in her hands. "But I lack the strength to do so."

"Hey Adrien! I finally found you!" A girl with a heavy French accent called out suddenly walking up to the pair.

Adrien smiled still looking at Amelia. "Well this was unexpected. Amelia, I'd like you to meet my sister, Cécile." Adrien turned smirking a bit as his sister walked up to them. "And Cécile, I'd like you to meet Amelia."

Cécile giggled and then smiled. "I didn't realize you were with someone, my apologies Miss Amelia." Joked a bit. "It's a pleasure to meet you though!"

"Uh huh." Amelia said, not really paying attention.

Cécile tilted her head and then poked Amelia on the nose randomly and without saying a word.

"What?" Amelia asked, looking up.

Cécile had leaned down so she was right in front of Amelia's face. "What's got you all down?" Cécile clearly being the more assertive of the siblings already took point while Adrien stood in the background smirking and shaking his head.

"What's it to you?" Amelia asked

Cécile poked Amelia in the forehead this time before reaching into her secondary card holder and dug out a card. "You know, it's a bit rude to act that way to someone who wants to be a friend, plus if he's sticking around it means I gotta show up and actually help out when needed. Unless he became better at the whole pep talk thing when I wasn't looking?" Cécile asked teasingly as she offered Amelia a card.

"I'm not going to take a card for free. I need to earn it." Amelia said

Cécile grinned at that. "Excellent idea! I'll accept your challenge!" Cécile jumped back as her custom duel disk activate and unfolded and spread it's wings. "How about this, if you damage me once, whether you win or not, the card is yours?" Cécile offered, though it was a bit implied that it was being forced on Amelia.

"No. Win or lose determines it all. And if you hold back, you win automatically." Amelia said, activating her duel disk.

"Hmmm if that's the case, then how about this. I win then you..." Cécile pondered for a moment. "You have to drop this little routine of yours and let me help you out, if you win the card is all yours?" Cécile offered as she drew her first five cards.

New Blood vs Tag Team Champ member 2

"Sure." Amelia said, drawing her five. She wasn't going to use Psychics this time. She would use her other deck. "I set one monster and end my turn."

Cécile drew her card and smiled. "Interesting start. A bit defensive, but we can see how well it turns out for you. First of all I'll start this turn off by summoning a classic starter, my Black Stone of Legend." The black shimmering rock appeared before her. "Next it's lovely ability allows me to sacrifice it so that I can summon my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Cécile raised her hand out in front of her as the dragon rose up and roared at Amelia. "Now let's find out what's behind door number one, destroy her set monster Red-Eyes!"

Amelia watched as her facedown was destroyed and she sent it to the graveyard.

"When Gulldo is destroyed, I can special summon a level 2 or lower Gusto monster. I summon Gusto Egul from my deck in defense mode." Amelia said, as a small bird appeared on her field.

"Awww how sweet." Cécile giggled. "In that case I'll set two cards, and then I'll call it a turn."

"Draw. I set another monster face down along with another card and end my turn." Amelia said

Cécile raised an eyebrow. "You know you have to attack to win right Amelia?"

"Depends." Amelia said. "It's your move though."

Cécile shrugged. "True. I think I'll set a monster of my own. And then I'll have my Red-Eyes attack that set monster of yours!" Cécile smirked as the set monster raised up and shattered into oblivion. "Well looks like that one didn't help you much. Let's see what you got Amelia!"

Amelia drew her card.

"I summon Pilica, Descendant of Gusto in attack mode. With her effect, I summon Gulldo from my grave. Then I tune Gulldo with Pilica to Synchro Summon Diagusto Sphreez." She said. Unlike her last Synchro summons, this time a tornado surrounded her monsters and when it vanished, a young woman with while green hair was crouched on her field." Due to Sphreez's effect, I add Caam back to my hand from the grave. I end my turn."

"Oh so you like to Synchro summon? Your my kind a person then Amelia, let's see if I can't spice it up in here then! I'll draw." Cécile looked at her and and smiled. "Looks like we'll have to hold off on me synchro summoning this turn, but trust me...By the end of this duel you won't be disappointed. I'll place one card face down, and I believe that'll do it for now, so show me what you got Amelia."

"I draw. I summon Caam, Serenity of Gusto in attack mode. then I'll use her effect to send Gulldo and Pilica from the grave to the deck and draw one card. I set two card face-down and call it a day."

Cécile shook her head. "You know, I was trying to be nice by letting you attack first, but I suppose if you don't hurry up I'll have to attack first instead you know? I'll draw." Cécile looked over her hand and smiled softly. "First I think I'll summon my Blizzard Dragon then I'll let him show your Caam a cool time by freezing her over preventing her from attacking next turn." Cécile smirked as the dragon froze over Amelia's monster. "If you don't attack this turn I might just have to say screw it and attack you know? Your move."

"Draw. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your face-down on the right." Amelia said

Cécile frowned as the trap blew up and shattered. "Well that wasn't the nicest thing to do, but fine. I can live without it, especially with the way your going about this."

Amelia shrugged and switched Egul to attack mode

"It's your win then. I end my turn." She said

"Oh? Now tat's a little too...Oh what's the word...Sad? In any event, I hope that isn't the case. I was wanting to show you a bit more of my ability. Oh well." Cécile drew her card and smiled. "Well at least we can end this with a bang. First off I'll place two more cards face down, then I'll summon my Red-Eyes Tracer Dragon." The small and scrawny Red-Eyes Tracer appeared. "Next I'll reveal my set monster, Dread Dragon. Now I'll tune my two level four dragons with my level two Dread Dragon." Cécile paused for a moment as the monsters began to transform. "Now behold, the mighty Trident Dragon!" The mighty dragon came out in a burst of fire causing the air to waver from the heat itself.

Amelia had to fight against the heat wave, barely managing to keep on her feet but having to fall to one knee.

"Now when I summon this monster I can destroy up to two of my own cards, and it gains an additional attack for each card I destroy. I think I'll choose my Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and how about one of my face downs." The fire around Trident Dragon intensified heavily for each card destroyed. "Now you asked me to not hold back, which means I don't plan on letting you survive this turn if I can help it Amelia, it's nothing personal ya know?"

"I know. It's just a game right?" Amelia said, looking up at the dragon

"So they say anyway. Now unfortunately this means we have a small problem. You see I have a certain fondness, it's a bad habit really. Care to venture what that might be?" Cécile ask in almost a quiz format.

"Nope. Don't care." Amelia said." Just waiting for the inevitable."

"See now that's just no fun Amelia! We gotta work on that personality of yours! Seriously Amelia. You gotta have more fun with this, but anyway. I have this thing for finishing off my opponents with a direct attack. Can you take a guess at what the problem here is?" Cécile continued.

"I have three monster. You only have three attacks." Amelia said. "So I assume you're going to use a spell or trap now?"

"Correct!" Cécile said cheerfully. "Care to take a guess at which one?"

"No." Amelia said, guessing that this was not her day.

Cécile sighed. "Yep definitely going to have to work on that part...In any event I'll just show you! First I'll activate Compulsory Evacuation Device! This will let me send any monster we have out right now back to the hand, and I think I'll choose...Your own sychro monster, I do have a spot for synchros in my heart so I suppose I should spare that one."

Amelia watched as Sphreeze vanished from her field, sighing.

"Maybe I'm not cut out for this game." She muttered to herself

Cécile sighed sympathetically. "Hey Amelia. I'm guessing Adrien neglected to tell you about our careers back in France?..."

"I know about them. Tag team champs." Amelia said

"Then why do you look so sad if you knew what you were up against?" Cécile now let her curiosity get the better of her in the middle of the duel.

"Just continue. You have a game to win." Amelia said.

Cécile frowned. "With that attitude I'm half tempted to forfeit...Why do you have to be so closed off Amelia? I just wanna help you know?"

"Win and I'll tell you." Amelia said

Cécile rolled her eyes. "Fine, now Trident Dragon show her why you're one of my all time favorites, destroy all her monsters starting from left to right and go for her life points!"

Amelia watched as the Dragon's headed reared back and fired at her. However, the first attack, aimed at Egul, was blocked.
"Draining Shield. Now I nullify your attack and gain lifepoints equal to your Dragon's attack points." She said.

"I still have two more attacks, now let's try this again. Destroy her Egul Trident Dragon!" Cécile repeated.

Amelia held her ground as her lifepoints dropped to 4200 and Egul was then replaced with a young girl.
"Equl's effect allows me to summon a monster when it's destroyed by battle. I summon Winda, Priestess of Gusto." She said

"Cute, now Trident Dragon Destroy Caam!" Cécile retorted.

Amelia's lifepoints dropped to 2900, but she was still standing after that brutal series of attacks with one monster on her field in defense.

Cécile smirked. "I'm glad you're fighting to stay alive, now I'll activate Red-Eyes Spirit!" The trap card rose up. "This will bring back an old friend, now welcome back my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Cécile raised her arm up as the mighty dragon returned. "Now Red-Eyes show Winda why your also in my top list of dragons!"

Winda was destroyed in a ball of fire, but a tiny bird, Gulldo this time, took her place.
"That'll about do it for me this turn." Cécile cheerfully responded.

Amelia drew her card.
"I set one monster and one card Face-down and call it a turn for now." She said, praying beyond a hope that should would last long enough to draw the monster she needed. Then again.

Cécile drew her card and frowned slightly. "Not what I was hoping for, but it'll do. I'll set one card face down, and now Red-Eyes destroy her set monster!"

Amelia watched as another Egul was Destroyed
"With Egul, I Summon Gusto Pilica from my deck. Then with her effect, I summon Gulldo but it's effects are negated." She said as the little girl and the tiny bird appeared on her field.

Cécile sighed. "Well that gets a bit redundant. In that case Trident Dragon attack her Pilica, hopefully then I won't have to deal with another defense..." Cécile said doubtfully.

The little girl went out like in a blaze but Amelia wasn't that surprised at this point. She looked at her graveyard.
Caam, Pilica, Egul, and Winda... I can win this. She thought to herself

Cécile smirked as she folded her arms. "Hey Amelia, just thought you should know, I win on my next turn."
"Maybe. During your end phase I activate a trap: Blessings for Gusto." she declared, opening the card. "Since I have three or more Gustos in my grave, I can target three of them Two go to my deck and the third is special summoned. I return Winda and Caam to summon Pilica, but her effect can't be used again."

At this point Cécile rolled her eyes. This had gotten a bit redundant.

Amelia smiled and drew her next card.
"I'm sure you remember this. I tune Gulldo and Pillica to summon Sphreez. Then with Sphreez, I add Egul from my grave to my hand. But now I activate another trap: Whirlwind of Gusto, which will prevent you from activating anything when I declare an attack this turn."

Cécile smirked "Well that's a shame then, Too bad that won't save you from this card." Cécile stretched out her arm as the card slowly came up. "I was hoping to not use this considering I have to sacrifice one of these two beautiful dragons, but it has to be done...I reveal Burst Breath! This means that by sacrificing my Red-Eyes Black Dragon all monsters on the field with defense less than my Red-Eyes attack automatically be destroyed. Unfortunately for you my Trident Dragon has twenty-eight hundred defense so he'll be sticking around." Cécile gave a sympathetic smile as the field wiped clear of every other monster in a blaze of glory.

Amelia's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Spare me your false sympathy." she said, her tone like a sharp blade of ice. "I activate Contract with Gusto to return Gulldo and Pilica to the deck and destroy your remaining face-down card."

Cécile narrowed her eyes a bit as her face down exploded.

"I set Egul face-down and end my turn." Amelia said

Suddenly Cécile's eyes widened a bit as she drew her next card. She'd wanted to use this card for so long. Not for any good particular reason, but just because of how it looked. "Now I'm going to equip my Trident Dragon with a card I've wanted to play for a long time now, Silver Wing!" A single silver wing grew around one of Trident Dragon's actual wings. "Next, I'll have Trident Dragon attack your set monster!"

Egul died, Winda took it's place. Strong defense again.
"My turn yet?" Amelia asked" Or are you going to keep trying to show off?"

Cécile chuckled. "Oh trust me, if I wanted to truly show off, you'd know it. But sure go ahead and make your move!"

Amelia drew her next card.
"I set one monster and one face-down and end my turn." She said

"And here we go again. It is cute I suppose." Cécile offered. "Now then let's see what I draw this time." Cécile drew without taking her eyes off of Amelia. "Next I'll activate Black Stone's ability from the grave to bring it back to my hand and put my Red-Eyes back into the deck. Next I'll summon my Red-Eyes Wyvern to the field in attack mode and that'll be the end of this one..."

"Shame. Draw. I summon Pilica, who summons Egul from the grave and... well you know. My face-down was Gulldo, which brings out Sphreez, which'll let me add Guldo to my hand." Amelia said as a familiar process repeated." Now, let's see, my monsters have... 1000, 200, and 2000 attack points... I can beat you this turn."

"Oh yeah? Let's see what you got." Cécile kept smirking at Amelia.

"I switch Winda to attack mode then attack Trident Dragion with Egul." Amelia said, as the small bird with a mere 200 attack points flew towards the giant dragon, a difference that would leave Amelia with only 100 lifepoints

Cécile blinked a couple of times unimpressed. "I hope something impressive is about to happen, I really do..." Trident Dragon launched a stream of fire at the monster in the process.

The stream of fire went straight for Amelia before Sphreez got in the way. The next thing Cecile would know, the stream would fly at her and deal the damage Amelia would've taken to her lifepoints instead.

A smirk appeared on Cécile's face as her life points dropped. "See now that's more like it."

Amelia frowned.
"You're holding back now." She said

Cécile shrugged. ""What makes you say that? You can clearly see one of my most famed monsters infront of you, and not just that I've played several of my other good cards."

"You're smirking, which means something is going your way. I've noticed you two only smirk when you're getting what you want." Amelia replied

"But of course, but what is it that I want? That's the more fun question now isn't it!" Cécile said cheerfully.

Amelia simply frowned.
"Egul summons another Winda due to his destruction and that Winda will attack your Trident Dragion." She said

Cécile watched as her Trident Dragon repeated the last sequence.

"And I win." Amelia said as Sphreez reflected the attack and dealt the 2000 damage Amelia would've taken from the attack over to Cecile.

As the monsters faded Cécile smiled and walked over to Amelia. "Not bad Amelia, that was actually pretty good." Cécile offered the card to Amelia that she had won. "I believe this belongs to you now."

"We'll see." Amelia said, looking at the card to see what it was. Frowning she shook her head. "Not interested."

Cécile closed her eyes and giggled. "It's not like you have to use it. It's more of a sentimental gift. It's the meaning behind it, not the card itself silly. This is the card that gave me hope as a duelist, and I want to pass it on to you now Amelia." Cécile slowly opened her eyes smiling at the young girl.

Amelia took the card and looked at it thoughtfully.
"Thank you... are you sure you want to give me something you value so much though?" She asked

Cécile giggled cheerfully. "Of course. Just make sure you take good care of it."

Amelia didn't reply as she put the card in a pocket were it was unlikely to get bent or damaged. She then looked between the siblings
"What now?"

Adrien smiled. "Well now you're going to tag along with Cécile, because I need to go deal with more people for this tournament. Judging by her attitude she isn't in this one to win it." Cécile in return laughed a bit embarrassed as she responded. "Haha, yeah, you caught me." Adrien rolled his eyes. "Why you do this sometimes I'll never understand. We'll do the usual then afterwards?" Cécile smirked and nodded as she also responded. "If it's really a custom, I think the synchro idea would be best though if you win." Adrien nodded as he walked off.

Cécile smiled and giggled once more. "Now Amelia! Let's get our show on the road too, what do ya say?" Cécile asked kindly.

Amelia frowned as she looked over at Cecile
"Why are you so mean in a duel but so kind outside of one?" She asked

Cécile blinked a few times a bit confused. "Am I really that bad in a duel? I mean I know I can get a bit harsh, and cruel, and a bit over the top...Okay so I might be pretty bad, but I dunno. I just connect with my monsters, and I just really get into the whole thing, I'm not sure how to really explain it." Cécile attempted to explain, hoping to have made at least slight progress.

Amelia frowned but otherwise didn't pursue the topic. She looked around as her stomach grumbled, causing her face to go a bit red.

Cécile giggled a bit at Amelia's embarrassed look. "Come on, let's go get you some food before we go and do anything else."

Yu-gi-oh! Scattered Memories

Joshua and Amelia are free then as well.

Yu-gi-oh! Scattered Memories

Tag Champ vs The Traveler

Turn 1
Joshua: 4000 LP, 5 cards
Adrien: 4000 LP, 5 cards

"I'll go first then." Joshua said, drawing his opening hand" I summon Gem-Knight Alexandrite. Then I activate his effect. By sacrificing Alexandrite, I can special summon one normal Gem-Knight monster from my deck. I summon Gem-Knight Crystal to the field in attack mode and call it a turn."

Gem-Knight Crystal: ATK: 2450 DEF: 1950

Turn 2
Joshua: 4000 LP, 4 cards
Adrien: 4000 LP, 5 cards

Drawing his first card Adrien smirked. He wouldn't have to be as kind in this duel. Supposedly this guy was good, or at least he talked a big game. Now it was time to make him put his money where his mouth was. "Well this looks like it will be a promising duel after all!" Adrien declared in excitement. "First I'm going to activate a card that you might recognize if you witnessed my last duel, Card of Spell Containment. This will allow me to draw an extra two cards from my deck." Adrien stared at Joshua with a smirk on his face as he drew his two cards.

"True but you can't put any face-downs on the field." Joshua noted

Adrien let out a chuckle. "Well it looks like someone knows his stuff, that's good."

"I'm willing to bet you're going for Red-Eyes. If you do, you'll power him up to get rid of Crystal. Chance are, you're drawing to try and get Dark Stone of Legend." Joshua said

Adrien couldn't help but laugh. "Well you're half right Josh, and even more so because I did draw what I needed. "Now I'll summon my Black Stone of Legend!" Once more the shimmering rock rose from the ground. "Sadly for you though you're wrong about what I want to summon, or at least partially. Now I sacrifice my Black Stone to summon an even greater beast, my Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning! This is the only card in my deck that isn't a dragon and is one that I try and avoid using a little. I pride myself on my dragons, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a little insurance."

Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning: ATK:2500 DEF:1200

"I think I see what you're aiming for. A one turn kill." Joshua said." May I ask if you run any fusions on your deck?"

Adrien smirked. "Now that would be telling, and that would be no fun. Besides, my Archfiend has enough attack to destroy your monster and for that is all I need. Now Archfiend, destroy his only defense!"

Joshua watched calmly as his knight was struck by lightning and destroyed in a shower of sparks.
"Expected." He said simply as his lifepoints dropped by a mere 50 points. "However, you were not able to Gemini summon your monster. However, you won't get the chance to. Draw."

Turn 3
Joshua: 3950 LP, 5 cards
Adrien: 4000 LP, 5 cards

Joshua looked at his hand and knew his move. He had four monsters and one spell. But that spell was all he needed to win this.
"First off, I activate Gem-Knight Fusion. I'm sure you know how this works. I can take any monsters in my hand or on my field to fusion summon a Gem-Knight fusion monster. So I send Gem-Knights Garnet, Obsidian, and Tourmaline to the graveyard to Fusion Summon Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!"

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond- ATK:3400, DEF:2000

"Now, I activate Obsidian's effect. When he's sent from the hand to the graveyard, I can special summon one level 4 or lower normal Gem-Knight monster from my graveyard to my field. I summon Gem-Knight Tourmaline from my graveyard in Attack Mode. But he won't be staying around long. I use Diamond's special ability. by sending Tourmaline back to the grave, I can fusion summon Gem-Knight Prismaura!"

Gem-Knight Prismaura- ATK:2450 DEF:1400

"So, I think you see where this is going to go, do you not, Mister Adrien?"

Adrien tilted his head and frowned slightly. "If I'm not mistaken you're going to discard that last card in your hand to activate your monster's effect to blow up my own monster which you're hoping and praying will work so that you can kill me off this turn."

"Let's see here... given your response, you likely have something to counter. It's not Effect Vailer. If it was, you would've used it on Diamond when I used her effect. So you're likely to have a monster that can summon itself when one of your monsters is destroyed. It isn't a spell or trap, as you cannot activate either of those from your hand during my turn, unless you have a monster that would let you. Which you clearly do not." Joshua said, looking at his last card. Discarding it was an option. But for now, it was best to keep it as a back up, given his opponent's confidence "Diamond, you are up. Destroy his Fiend."

Adrien shook his head. "Well bye buddy." Adrien shook his head as his monster shattered. "Too bad for you though that it's not very long lasting. You see this lovely card in my hand here special summons now," Adrien played the card in defense mode revealing his Red-Eyes Tracer Dragon. "And there's a bonus. You see I also get my Archfiend back." Red-Eyes Archfiend rose from the ground again in attack mode. "Too bad for you, haha." Adrien smiled pleasantly chuckling and rubbing the back of his head for a moment.

"Congrats, you can be predictable." Joshua said, shrugging." Now's let's see... Dark Armed is likely next on account that you'll use Dragon Heart to send the required Materials to the grave. At that point, I lose. However, you can only have one copy. But the chances of you getting it with you deck, which relied on high draw power and deck thinning are rather high. On the other hand, if you don't get Dark Armed, you likely have another Red-Eyes monster or some field clearer. Again, like your sister, your brute force with no finesse. Given how I have very little chance of surviving... well, let's see you prove me right. your move."

Turn 3
Joshua: 3950 LP, 1 cards
Adrien: 4000 LP, 5 cards

Adrien smirked as he drew his next card. "You know, I've noticed you think you're pretty smart Joshua. And while you're usually accurate, you can be so off other times my friend. First I'll play this lovely card known as Card of Red Stone. This allows me to place this here Red-Eyes Black Dragon into the grave and then I get to draw two cards." Adrien went through the fun little motions as he spoke.

"Archfiend Black Skull Dragon." Joshua said, shrugging

Adrien raised an eyebrow. "What are you going on about? I was actually just going to show you that you were right. My draw is actually really nice." Adrien revealed the Dark Armed Dragon he just drew. "Now incase you hadn't noticed I have a little numbers issue right now for getting it on the field."

"No you don't." Joshua said

Adrien sighed. "As I was saying, I can fix that, but sadly you were wrong once more about how I'm going to do it. See first of all I'm going to activate the lovely card in my grave, Black Stone. That will let me bring it back to my hand and put my Red-Eyes Black Dragon go back to my deck.

"Predictable." Joshua said, knowing full well Adrien would do that.

"That's fine, it doesn't matter how predictable it is Joshua, because as you and I both know, you can't do a thing about it, and in the end we both know how this duel ends. Besides, I'm not the only one running a predictable deck here. The only difference between our decks is that your deck is a one trick pony, mine on the other hand has all sorts of tricks." Adrien smirked.

"True, this weaker deck of mine is. So I give up this match, since you have clearly won. But sadly, you seem to be worth less then I thought." Joshua said, deactivating his duel disk." Dark Armed is all you know. Now, if I played around that, I wonder what you could do? You showed me nothing new. Show me something to make me excited next time."

"Careful what you wish for Joshua. I was playing nice this time. You think you know everything. You've only seen a fraction of this decks true potential, and on top of that. I don't need it's full strength to beat any deck you'd throw at me. As arrogant as that might sound," Adriens friendly face dropped. "it's the hard truth, and the facts are what they are. I was expecting more from you." Adrien closed his eyes as his duel disk deactivated. "How disappointing."

Joshua laughed
"Guess that makes two of us. Oh well. All things considered, neither of us are worth anything in the end. We'll both meet the same end and be equal in that. But were as you're only satisfied with being in the spotlight, I'm good with the shadows. Small deeds to help those who actually need it." He said, shrugging yet again. "I wonder, will you actually be able to help your new apprentice here or will you hinder her. she'll show your true worth in the end. Thus she'll show me whether I'm right or wrong about you. Your powers are impressive, just like your sister's. But in the end, you're both not worth looking up to yet."

Without another word, the older man walked away, raising his hand in good-bye and not given Adrien a chance to reply or counter.

Can...can w have some posts?

I know I've been neglecting this just slightly. I have all my role plays. Mostly it's because I haven't had the time, or I haven't been feeling well, or even that I just don't know what to write or do. At the moment everything sucks. Sitting for even a short period of time causes my shoulder to ache something terrible, the only semeblance of comfort I get is when I lie really still. I'm getting so tired of being rejected, that I cringe at applying for jobs now, and I'm so tired of pouring my heart and soul into uni and not getting the grades to reflect that. Family life also sucks at the moment. I'm so...down trodden about pretty much being the head of the family having to do everything cause my mother is disabled and my father is lazy, that I just feel run down and exhausted every day.

I'm so bloody clumsy that I have actually damaged the ligaments in my ankle beyond repair from the constant falling over and had to shell out money I don't have for a good support brace because hey, I need to walk. I've been waiting a year to have the last Dentist visit for a root cannal that the stupid incompetent dentist caused me to have to have in the first place and I'm ticked off at that.

Mostly in just tired of being tired. I'm tired of life.

So I am sorry, but I do plan to be around a lot more, and get things moving again

@silver fox@joshua tamashii do you guys mind if I start posting up the battle?

@burthstone I'm going to do the same with our collab

@expolar is ours ready to be posted? It will need to be posted after burthstone and mine is posted

@dark light your Cs seems okay with me. But I am still worried about it being OP, but what I am going to do is this: if someone comes to me saying something is op or k consider it OP and discuss it with my CoGMs and we find it Op, then I will ask you to change it. This actually goes for everyone, and I am more then happy to debate this.

Let's see....

@yipeeXD I'm just seeing if you are here, I know it an be hard with uni. Did you want to do the Shujin/Sasha thing whatever you were going to have Shujin say as a flash back? That way it can be posted whenever and we aren't holding everything up (not that we are at the moment).

Hm.

@zarkun@expolar do you two have anything else to mention to anyone?

And finally, does anything need my attention, does anyone need my attention, does anyone have anything they wish done, and...

That's it.

@Caits

If you want to post bits of the battle, go ahead, seeing people react to Krystal's magic will be kinda interesting if you ask me.

Also, I will post after Amaya and Jangel post for me. Or someone interacts with anyone else I control.

@Joshua Tamashii

I mentioned you in an earlier post, in case you're bored.

@BytheSpleen

I know and I thank you, but I'll wait for more possible things to occur before posting.

Honestly Cia hates werewolves far more than she does vampires.
but I'll put some bullying on the vampire later if you like!
Just after @Termott posts again.. if shes still here

@Cuccoruler

Amelia won't fight back, if that's what you're hoping. Though if you're hoping to cause a scene, that might work.
