Mr. Baubles, the President of the branch of Industrial Illusions, was enjoying some new gadgets of his that he had bought with his now vast amounts of money. Of course, they were for both work and play at the same time. After all, he was extremely wealthy now, so why not indulge himself?
However, his play time would soon end for the moment. As the door to his office suddenly opened, Mr. Baubles fumbled with a remote to turn off a screen on the wall and was about to pretend like he was doing work on a tablet when he realized who it was. "Oh, it's you," Mr. Baubles said. "What brings you to my office today?"
The mysterious Duelist was holding a tablet of his own, and he scrolled through it before speaking, "Thanks to your technology, I have managed to find the Duelist I am searching for faster than I anticipated."
"I see," Mr. Baubles said, his tone of voice clearly showing that he didn't really care. "But you still haven't told me why you're here."
"I would like permission to go out and resolve this matter once and for all," the Duelist said.
"Ahhh," Mr. Baubles said with understanding. He was just about to approve it when he remembered the agreement they had. Doing some quick thinking, he said, "I'm afraid I must refuse, however. After all, we made a deal. You even signed a contract." Mr. Baubles opened up a document on his tablet and showed it to the Duelist just to prove his point. "If I were to just let you go, then what kind of businessman would I be?"
"Very well then," the Duelist said without complaint. "However, I do have another request."
"Hmm? And what would that be?" Mr. Baubles asked.
"My comrades have also entered the tournament, and I would appreciate it if they received some aid to gain a spot in the finals," the Duelist said.
"Hmm..." Mr. Baubles considered. "I suppose I could pull a few strings. After all, I'm already making sure you're always at the number 1 spot."
"Thank you," the Duelist said before leaving.
Meanwhile...
Turn 1: Sam (NPC) Jin - 4000 LP, 5 cards Sam - 4000 LP, 5 cards
"My turn! Sam said. "I play the Spell card: Double Summon! This allows me to Normal Summon twice this turn! First I Summon Queen's Knight, then King's Knight!" The two Poker Knights appeared on the field, one after the other.
Queen's Knight - Level 4, ATK 1500
King's Knight - Level 4, ATK 1600
"When King's Knight is Normal Summoned while I control Queen's Knight, I can Special Summon Jack's Knight from my deck!" A new knight appeared on the field, standing alongside his comrades.
Jack's Knight - Level 5, ATK 1900
"Finally, I activate the Spell card: Polymerization! This fuses together all my Knights to Summon my most powerful monster!" Sam then began chanting, "Champion of knights! Rise up for your comrades and defeat your foes! Stand your ground, Arcana Knight Joker!" The three knights crossed their blades, and a new knight took their place, appearing much more powerful than the others.
Arcana Knight Joker - Level 9, ATK 3800
"I then activate the Spell card: The A. Forces! This gives all Warrior-type monsters I control 200 more ATK for each Warrior or Spellcaster-type monster I control!"
Arcana Knight Joker - ATK 3800 --> ATK 4000
"Turn end!" Sam said with confidence.
Turn 2: Jin Jin - 4000 LP, 6 cards Sam - 4000 LP, 1 cards, 1 monster, 1 S/T
Jin looked at Arcana Knight Joker with surprise. "That was it? That's quite disappointing," he said.
Sam looked at Jin with confusion and said, "What are you talking about? You've got nothing, while I have a monster with 4000 ATK! All I need to do is attack, and then I win the Duel!"
"Too bad you won't reach your next turn," Jin replied. "I Summon Heroic Challenger - Double Lance in Attack mode!"
"With these two monsters, I construct the Overlay network!" Jin declared, the two monsters transforming into two balls of energy and flying into the black starry galaxy above. Jin began his chant, "King of warriors! Let loose a single strike to wipe out your enemies! Smite your foes, Heroic Champion - Excalibur!"
"You can't expect a single 2000 ATK monster to defeat my Arcana Knight Joker!" Sam said.
"Not unless I do this!" Jin replied sharply. "I activate the effect of Excalibur! By detaching both Overlay units, I can double my monster's ATK!" The two glowing orbs that had been revolving around the monster winked out of existence, and a red aura emanated from it.
"Battle! Excalibur, destroy Arcana Knight Joker!" Jin declared, and Excalibur raised its blade to strike downward at Arcana Knight Joker, slicing through both the knight and the blade he used to try to defend himself with.
"Draw!" Yuna yelled, drawing a card. "I Summon Azure Flame Beast in Attack mode!"
Azure Flame Beast - Level 3, ATK 1500, A
"Now with my Azure Flame Beast and my Azure Flame Protector, I construct the Phase Shift Network!" Yuna declared, the two monsters flying into a purplish spiral galaxy above. "With your flames burning blue, unleash them on the world! Show them your might, and engulf the world! Phase Shift Summon! Show your flames, Azure-Eyes Phase Shift Dragon!" The blue dragon appearing on the field, unleashing a roar upon arrival.
"I activate the effect of Azure-Eyes Phase Shift Dragon! By banishing an 'Azure Flame' monster from my Graveyard, I can increase the ATK of my Dragon by half of the banished monster's ATK!" Yuna explained. "By banishing my Azure Flame Warrior, Azure-Eyes gains 850 ATK!"
If I may make a suggestion regarding card packs. You know how we need to win multiple duels in order to earn enough points just to even get a pack, and more for a structure deck? Well, how about either getting a pack per win (or saving 10 points per duel so you can use 30 to buy a structure deck) and winning just a few random cards per loss? Y'know, kinda like how we're doing with the Tag Duels right now?
I don't really like the thought of having to spend so much time and effort just for an uncertain "reward" from a single card pack. We'd be stuck with very little ability to upgrade our decks.
