NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Spoiler Duel for chapter 9
Hello,
If you're reading this, it means you're okay with a few spoilers. I've noticed I make several mistakes when writing duels, but unfortunately, I don't have an editor to catch them. To address this, I've decided to try something new. Since I typically have future chapters planned out to some extent, I will write the duels in advance and release them here early. If you spot any issues—such as errors with card effects or other inconsistencies—I can fix them before including the duel in the final chapter.
[ DUEL STARTS ]
Zane Truesdale – LP: 4000 | Hand: 5 | Monsters: 0
Syrus Truesdale – LP: 4000 | Hand: 5 | Monsters: 0
Turn 1: Syrus
Syrus drew his first card with determination. "I'll go first," he declared.
"I activate Speedroid Scratch!"
He discarded a card from his hand and searched his deck for a suitable target.
"I summon Speedroid Marble Machine in Attack Mode!" (Level 2 / ATK: 200 / DEF: 100)
A small mechanical creature appeared, rolling into battle.
"Marble Machine's effect activates! I add Speedroid Taketomborg to my hand!"
Syrus followed up by Special Summoning Speedroid Taketomborg (Level 3 / ATK: 600 / DEF: 1200) from his hand.
"I Special Summon Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice in Attack Mode!" (Level 1 / ATK: 100 / DEF: 100)
With a quick adjustment, he tuned his Red-Eyed Dice to Level 4 and Synchro Summoned Hi-Speedroid Hagoita (Level 5 / ATK: 2000 / DEF: 1000).
"I set one card face-down and end my turn," Syrus said confidently.
Turn 2: Zane
Zane drew his card, eyes narrowed with focus. "My turn. I summon Proto-Cyber Dragon in Attack Mode!" (Level 3 / ATK: 1100 / DEF: 600)
"Next, I activate Polymerization to fuse Proto-Cyber Dragon and Cyber Dragon from my hand!"
The two machines merged, creating Cyber Twin Dragon (Level 8 / ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2100).
"Cyber Twin Dragon, attack Hi-Speedroid Hagoita!"
The mighty twin-headed dragon fired its energy blast, destroying Hagoita in one shot.
Syrus LP: 3200
"I set one card face-down and end my turn," Zane concluded.
Turn 3: Syrus
Syrus drew his next card, his resolve hardening. "I summon Speedroid Terrortop in Attack Mode!" (Level 3 / ATK: 1200 / DEF: 600)
"Terrortop's effect activates, allowing me to add Speedroid Taketomborg to my hand!"
He Special Summoned Speedroid Taketomborg (Level 3 / ATK: 600 / DEF: 1200) once again.
"Time to Synchro Summon! I tune Terrortop and Taketomborg to Synchro Summon Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Level 7 / ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2000)."
The wind howled as the majestic dragon soared onto the field.
"I set one card face-down and end my turn," Syrus said.
Turn 4: Zane
Zane drew his card, calm as ever. "I summon Cyber Dragon Core in Attack Mode!" (Level 2 / ATK: 400 / DEF: 1500)
"Core's effect activates! I add Power Bond to my hand."
"I activate Power Bond and fuse Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Dragon from my hand!"
The two machines merged, summoning Cyber End Dragon (Level 10 / ATK: 4000 / DEF: 2800).
"Cyber End Dragon, attack Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
Cyber End Dragon unleashed a blast of energy, destroying Clear Wing Synchro Dragon in one mighty strike.
Syrus LP: 1700
"I end my turn," Zane said, his expression unflinching.
Turn 5: Syrus
Syrus drew his next card. "I activate Speed Recovery to bring back Hi-Speedroid Cork Shooter from my Graveyard!" (Level 3 / ATK: 800 / DEF: 1200)
"I summon Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice from my hand in Attack Mode!" (Level 1 / ATK: 100 / DEF: 100)
He adjusted the level of Red-Eyed Dice to 4 and Synchro Summoned Hi-Speedroid Chanbara (Level 5 / ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1800).
"Chanbara, attack Cyber Dragon Core!"
The sword-wielding monster sliced through Zane's machine, dealing 2000 points of damage.
Zane LP: 2000
"I end my turn, with a face down," Syrus said, his field still vulnerable.
Turn 6: Zane
Zane drew his card and smiled. "I summon Cyber Dragon Drei in Attack Mode!" (Level 4 / ATK: 1800 / DEF: 800)
"Cyber Dragon Drei's effect activates, allowing me to attack directly with Cyber End Dragon!"
Zane's massive dragon fired a devastating blast that destroyed Hi-Speedroid Chanbara, But before it hit Syrus directly Syrus activated his face-down card "I activate Final Fusion".
He gritted his teeth as the trap card activated, sending shockwaves through the field.
"Both players will take damage equal to the combined ATK of all monsters on the field!" ( I have modified the effect of Final Fusion to account for the inclusion of Synchro Summoning in the GX universe. As a result, I will adjust some effects to apply not only to Fusion monsters but to all Special Summoned monsters. However, Synchro Summoning will remain a rare phenomenon in this world, with only the wealthy and powerful having access to Synchro cards. )
Zane's field: Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK)
Syrus's field: Hi-Speedroid Chanbara (2400 ATK)
Total ATK: 6400 damage to both players.
The field erupted in an explosion as both monsters disappeared. Both players staggered, falling to the ground from the immense power of the attack.
Zane LP: 0
Syrus LP: 0
