(3rd Person PoV)

"I begin my turn," Rudger said and the alter behind him lit up a fire, signifying that an Earthbound Immortal Counter was gained.

"I summoned Ground Spider (ATK: 0. DF:1500) in defense mode," he added on.

Another monster in Defense position. If this keeps up, then he'll be able to summon an Earthbound Immortal and take their souls, Yusei looked over at the kids who were crying.

"I set a card down and end my turn," Rudger said.

It was now Yusei's turn and he scanned the field.

I need to remove the amount of monsters in defense mode but if I destroy them by battle, then my monster will get forced into defense mode due to Spider Web's effect, he thought. He has to be careful.

"I use Road Warrior's effect! Once per turn, I can special summon a level 2 or lower monster. I special summon Speed Warrior (ATK: 900. DF: 400)!" Yusei shouted.

"I activate Ground Spider's effect. If it's in defense mode and my opponent normal summons or special summons a monster in attack mode, then once per turn, I can switch that monster's position to defense!" Rudger said.

A web shot out of Ground Spider's mouth and tied down Speed Warrior, turning him blue to signify that Speed Warrior is now in defense mode.

If this keeps up, he'll be able to summon his Earthbound immortal next turn, Aki thought, worried.

"I activate the Spell card, Advance Draw! By releasing a level 8 or higher monster, I'm able to draw two cards," Yusei stated.

Road Warrior disappeared in a sparkling light and Yusei drew two cards from his deck.

"Desperate move to lessen the monsters in defense mode, I see," Rudger noted.

But Yusei wasn't done yet.

"And now I release Speed Warrior to special summon Turrent Warrior (ATK: 1200. DF:2000)! When a Warrior type monster is tributed to special summon Turrent Warrior from my hand, it'll gain the attack points of the tributed monster," Yusei explained.

1200 —> 2100 ATK

"Attack Ground Spider! Revolving Shot!" Yusei shouted.

Cannons from Turrent Warrior turned to Ground Spider and shot it.

Because it was in defense mode, Rudger didn't lose any life points.

Then threads of webbing shot up and pulled Turrent Warrior down, switching it to defense mode.

"I set a card down and end my turn," Yusei said.

He managed to turn the tides by having only one remaining monster in defense mode. Yusei...you're amazing, Aki thought.

In a nearby building, Ushio, Martha and Grian arrived.

"Looks like this is where Yusei is dueling," Grian noted.

"Martha look! The children!" Ushio pointed and Martha gasped.

"Ushio, Martha, Grian! If he summons an Earthbound Immortal, then the kids will be in danger!" Aki warned them.
