Yuri and Crow drew their cards and looked at them. "I'll take the first turn, if you don't mind," Yuri said, drawing another card. He added it to his hand and took a look at it and smirked. "First, I summon Armored Shadow in attack mode," Yuri said, placing the card on the blade of his new duel gauntlet. A figure, clad in black armor with black wisps appeared flowing out of the chinks, appeared on the field. "Now, I'll activate Armored Shadow's special ability. When he's brought to the field, you two send the top five cards of your decks to the graveyard." Walker and Striker removed their cards from their decks and slid them into the graveyard.
"Nice opening move," Crow said.
"Thanks," Yuri replied. "Now, I'll lay two facedowns and end my turn."
"I agree with your friend. That was a fine opener, but it's my turn now," Striker said, drawing his card. "First, I play Arcane Knight Lancer, also in attack mode. Then I play his ability. By reducing his attack points by half, Arcane Knight Lancer can hit you for 500 points of damage."
"Actually, he doesn't hit me at all. I activate my first trap card Veil of Darkness. With this card, all effect damage becomes zero," Yuri said. A cloud of black clouds sprang from the card, stopping Striker's monster, and forced it back to its original position.
Striker grimaced. "Then I'll lay a facedown and end my turn," he said, placing the card into a slot.
"Then it's my go," Crow said, drawing his card. "I play Blackwing-Bora the Spear, in attack mode," Crow said. His monster appeared next to Yuri's. "And you know what they say about birds of a feather flocking together. Well, when I have Bora the Spear on the field, I can summon Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind from my hand." Crow's Gale the Whirlwind appeared next to Bora the Spear. "I'll also lay a facedown and send it over to you."
"Thank you," Walker said, drawing his card. "I summon Arcane Magician: Envoy of Doom. Normally, I would have to sacrifice a monster to play him, but because I'm the only one without a monster, I can summon Envoy of Doom from my hand," Walker said. "Now, I'll have Envoy of Doom attack Bora the Spear," Walker said.
"Try again. I activate my Battle Fader's ability, and end your battle phase," Yuri said. Walker's monster retreated back to his space. "I will place this facedown," Walker said, sliding his card into place.
"Fine, my move," Yuri said. "I summon Cloaked Shadow in attack mode. Now, the pair of you drop the cards in your hand into the graveyard, and draw a new one," Yuri said. Walker and Striker placed their cards and drew new ones. Yuri pulled another card out of his hand. "Now I activate the spell card Polymerization, and I'll use it to fuse my Armored Shadow and Cloaked Shadow. Now, usually when Armored Shadow is sent to the graveyard, I would take 800 points of damage, but when its used as synchro or fusion material, I avoid the damage." Yuri's two monsters swirled together. Out of the swirl came a new monster, clad in a robe and armor. Black wisps seeping out of the chinks and underneath the robe. It was holding a long sword at the ready. "Meet my Paladin of Dark Shadows," Yuri said.
"A fusion monster? I didn't think anyone played those anymore," Striker said. "Always nice to see a blast from the past."
"Well, this blast from the past is gonna demolish your monster. When Paladin of Dark Shadows attacks, you take Lancer's attack points as damage," Yuri said. "Paladin of Dark Shadows, attack Arcane Knight Lancer!" Yuri's monster bounded across the field and raised his sword, and brought it down on Arcane Knight Lancer. Strikers monster disappeared in a flash of light. Strikers lifepoints dropped from 4000 to 2100. "Next, I'll activate my Equivalent Exchange spell card."
