They all activated their duel disks before sliding in their duels.

"Let's go!" Yami, Aira and Yusei called out together.

Paradox: 4000

Yami/Aira/Yusei: 4000

Birdy.

Aoi flew of Aira shoulder and went to the area that Professor Banner and his cat Pharaoh are standing to watch the duel.

"Wish them luck Pharaoh," Banner said to his cat, "the fate of us all rest with these three."

"How about you go first Queen of Games?" Paradox said as he pointed to Aira, "Ladies first and the rumours says that your deck is rare, then let's see it."

Aira growled at him, she is not happy about this one bit. Yugi and Yami looked at her surprise by her titles at he called her.

"Ah, yes." He continued on, "Your all wondering about the different names I called her, it true she is known by many names like; Slifer Queen, Ruler of Slifer, Queen of Games, Elemental HEROs Princess or Queen and Spirit Queen but that's not all the Supreme Queen Ruler of Gentle Darkness."

Aira eyes widen in shock hearing that name.

Yusei, Yugi and Yami all looked at her in shock how many titles is she known for her skills telling people that she doesn't like to be mess with.

Aira eyes narrowed at him, "How did you know that name Paradox?!" She demanded as both of her eyes turned to her demonic eyes colours.

"Hahahaha! So it's true then. The Supreme Queen, the Ruler of Gentle Darkness is reborn as you." He said.

-Supreme Queen The Ruler of Gentle Darkness.- Yugi said. -It's hard to believe that Ai is her reincarnation.-

-Yes I know she doesn't look like one to be used or control by the darkness.- Yami said.

-But he said Gentle Darkness, does that mean that Ai use darkness for good?-

-It's possible, darkness is only bad depending on the people who are using it.- Yami explained.

"Zip it Paradox!" Aira scoffed at him, "Why don't you go first, since you're in a hurry to destroy the world." Her eyes went back to sky blue.

"Fine then I will," Paradox told her, "and I think I'll start by activating the field spell Malefic World."

They all stared at the field in surprise except for Aira who was narrowing her eyes at his play and for some reason she didn't like the field card at all.

"Malefic World. Now instead of drawing a card during my draw phase I'm allowed to add a random Malefic monster from my deck to my hand. Next I'll send Cyber-End Dragon from my extra deck to the graveyard which means Malefic Cyber-End Dragon now appears."

Malefic Cyber- End Dragon:
ATK/ 4000 - DEF/ 2800
Level: 10

"Cyber-End." Aira muttered. "I wonder how Zane is right now without it."

"Hey, does anyone know what this Malefic Thing is all about?" Yusei asked.

"It's not something," Paradox told him, "it's the type of deck I use. A type of deck I use from the future. One of the many advantages of time travel."

"Ai!" Yusei called, she looked at him, "Did you see how he summon the Malefic version of that dragon?"

"Yeah and I hate it!" Aira answered madly, "Just by sending a regular version of Cyber-End to the graveyard that's all it took."

"In other words by destroying a monster's good version he can give life to it's bad." Yami said, "it seems Paradox truly does see only the dark side of Duel Monsters."

"Yes, Yugi," Paradox agreed, "and I'm going to use it to defeat you all, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I end my turn with one face down."

"Listen Aira and Yugi," Yusei said, "we know what's at stake here our friends, our lives, our very future all lies in the balance. I all hinges on this Duel. It's true we may all just meet and may not know each other's duel strategies, but even so right now we have to fight as one. All of our skills, all of our past experiences let's use them. Let's focus all of them to this one common cause."

"Agree Yusei and how about we let Ai start this off," Yami told him, "since Paradox was the first to ask about her deck."

"Right, Ai." Yusei face her.

"Sure," she told them, "Draw!" Aira drew her sixth card, "I'll start with my favourite lightning bird, so I summon Moonlight Electric Lightning Bird."

On the field it started to have dark clouds and a lightning bolt shot out of it revealing a yellow bird with white streaks on its feathers about a median size dog with crystal on the wings like gems and lightning and electricity shot out in all directions.

Yami, Yugi and Yusei all looked at it in awe.

Moonlight Electric Lightning Bird:
ATK/ 1700 - DEF/1500
Level 4

"What is that?" Paradox asked in shock and everyone looked at him in surprise.

"What?" Aira answered him, "It's my Moonlight Crystals Deck I'm using, I designed it myself when I was a little kid. Sheesh, you're from the future you should know about this."

"No, I don't!" Paradox exclaimed madly, "It says in the history that you used Elemental HEROs and Neo-Spacian as your deck!" Yami, Yugi and Yusei looked at her curiously if she does than where is it.

"Oh, you mean my other deck." Aira said as she pulled out a deck that contains her Elemental HEROs and Neo-Spacian, "It's here." She pulled out Elemental HERO Neos from the deck. "Neos and them are part of my original expect that I barely use my Moonlight Crystals Deck in tournaments maybe that's why you don't know and I mostly use my Elemental HEROs in the tournaments." She answered truthfully.

"Fine," Paradox said, "No matter your still going to lose."

"Fine then." Aira told him, "Now I activate my Lightning Bird special ability when it is summon you take direct damage equal to its attack points." She looked at her bird, "So lightning Bird it's time for your ability." The bird nodded and shot out a wave of electric and lightning directly at Paradox.

Paradox: 4000 - 1700 = 2300

Yami/Aira/Yusei: 4000

-Ouch! That's got to hurt.- Yugi told Yami and he nodded in agreement.

"And who says I'm done," Aira told him, "I activate it's second special ability when it deals damage I can summon a level 4 or below monster from my deck or hand. And I pick Moonlight Crystal Wind Phoenix in defence mode."

A huge gust of winded appeared on the field in a tornado form and it broke revealing a beautiful crystal phoenix with light green and blue feathers and green eyes.

Moonlight Crystal Wind Phoenix:
ATK/ 1700 - DEF/ 1200
Level 2

"Oh, yeah Wind Phoenix also have an ability which allows me to draw two new cards from my deck." She drew two new cards, "I play five cards face down and end my turn." Aira said as five cards appeared face down on the field.

"It's my move and with it I'll show you a beast with true might." Paradox stated, "I send Rainbow Dragon from my extra deck to the graveyard which as you saw before means I can summon Malefic Rainbow Dragon."

Malefic Rainbow Dragon:
ATK/ 4000 - DEF/ 0
Level 10

Aira gasps, "Rainbow Dragon! How dare you!" she yelled out, "Leave my best friend card out of this."

---•••---

"Now we know why he was stealing those cards." Banner said to loosen the tension.

-Um, Professor Banner, you're not really helping the situation much by saying that. You know.- Aira thought to him.

"I know, but it helps me with the air tension in this game." Banner joked and she sweat dropped.

---•••---

"Why do you think I was time hopping in the first place?" Paradox asked, "so I can collect the cards I need to destroy you Pegasus. Until that time comes I'll use them to destroy the three of you! MALEFIC RAINBOW DRAGON ATTACK! Sparta Surge!"

"Don't think so Paradox," Aira told him, "I play negate attack, it negates the monster attacking it."

"Fine then," Paradox stated, "you stopped one of my Malefic Dragons, but you recall I have two out. Malefic Cyber- End Dragon attack!"

"Of course not. You think that the dragon is out for a sitting dragon." Aira said sarcastically. "I play my other face down it's called Crystal Block! You see it can negate the attack and destroy the monsters on your side of the field, it also allows me to draw three new cards." She said as a crystal wall appeared in front of her, the attack is negated and the blast revised itself to the two dragons destroying it and she drew three new cards from her deck.

"Nicely played Ai," Yami praised, "you have to tell me where did you learn to duel with such heart and passion."

"Um, a place called Duel Academy Uncle Yugi," Luna told him, "believe it or not I normally skip or sleep through classes. Though I have reason."

"Well, if I was your teacher I'd defiantly give you an A for that last move." Yami stated.

Aira blushed, "Thanks Uncle Yugi but the reason was because you guys taught me all this along with Uncle Joey and Uncle Seto." She said smiling.

"Smart I see, it's true then what people say about your dueling skills is beyond anyone." Paradox stated as they all looked at him while Aira glared what are people saying about her, "People says that you can observe the opponent duel and counter them before they even play it. I can see that with my own eyes that it is true."

Yami, Yugi and Yusei all looked at her how strong and observant is her skill level is.

Aira cursed the rumours of letting out too much information about her skills but good thing not her powers or she will be in deep trouble when Uncle Seto hears about this.

"Oh, shut it!" Aira snapped, "I hate it when people spread news about me, I can never get any peace and quiet in the world when I travel to areas so Aunt Mai, Aunt Tea and Aunt Serenity told me to hide myself, so why do you think that I hide myself with a cape and hood when we first meet." She glared at him, "And let me tell you that Uncle Seto won't be happy hearing about the rumours people say."

-Wow, Kaiba must really care for her.-

-She did say that Seto Kaiba was quite overprotective of her including her other uncles meaning, you, Joey, Tristan and others.-

"Yes, we'll let me tell you something," Paradox told them, "When your life points run out because this is a Malefic duel you don't just lose the match you lose your soul as well."

'I thought so, that's the reason why I hate this field spell. Great he discovered another version of a Shadow Duel, just what we needed the most.' She thought sarcastically, 'A Shadow after another Shadow, *sigh* I hate my life.'

"Yusei it's your turn." Yami told him.

"Right," Yusei stated, "here we go!" He drew his sixth card, "First I play Reincarnation of Hope by send two monsters to the graveyard now. We can draw a monster card later."

"Fool, don't you realize that there won't be a later for you or your friends?" Paradox said coldly.

"Well, right now I'm summoning Junk Synchron." Yusei announced.

Junk Synchron:
ATK/1300 - DEF/ 500
Level 3

"And because I was able to summon him now I can summon a level 2 or below monster from the graveyard. Sonic Chick fans your feather in defence mode."

Sonic Chick:
ATK/ 300 - DEF/ 300
Level 1

"Next I'll play Quilbolt Hedgehog's ability from the graveyard. An ability if I have a tuner out on the field, but it won't be around for long nor well my other monsters."

Quilbolt Hedgehog:
ATK/ 800 - DEF/ 800
Level 2

"At least not in their present form. Cause I'm tuning them all together just as Luna, Yugi and I are combining our might these three now combine theirs. I summon forth the Synchro Monster Junk Guardna."

Junk Guardna:
ATK/1400 - DEF/ 2600
Level 6

"Synchro what?" Yami asked.

"I don't know Uncle Yugi," Aira answered, "but it looks like a new type of fusion in the future."

"Yeah, it is." Yusei said.

"Awesome!"

"With this I place two card face down and end my turn."

"How truly pathetic," Paradox told them, "if that's the best you can do you all of you might as just as well give up here and now. Your decks are no match for mine not since I snatched Yusei's Stardust Dragon."

Aira glared up at him before a smirk spread across her face that did go unnoticed by Yami, Yugi and Yusei.

'Idiot,' she thought, 'does he really think that Stardust Dragon is a match for my dragons, but then again he doesn't know what my deck is capable off.'

"It's my turn, but instead of dragon I'll use my field spell to add a random Malefic monster to my hand." Paradox told them, "Excellent, now I have all I need to win this in my fingertips. The future well soon to be cured of the Duel Monster pledge. I send Stardust Dragon from my extra deck to the graveyard. Now raise MALEFIC STARDUST DRAGON!"

Malefic Stardust Dragon:
ATK/ 2500 - DEF/ 2000
Level 8

Aira covered her ears because of Stardust Dragon crying in pain and she began to whimper a bit.

"Aira!" Yami called out, "Are you alright?" He asked in concern and Yugi appeared next to him having a worry look on his face.

"I-I-I'm fine." Luna told them, but she clutch her head even more, "Maybe I'm not, and my head hurts badly."

"Why?" Yusei asked.

"It's Stardust Dragon Yusei," she whimpered even more than before, "it's calling for help."

"My Stardust." Yusei whispered before glaring at Paradox, "Paradox you snake what have you done to it?"

"I simply introduced it to the power of the shadows and there's more to come," Paradox answered/ added, "now I'll summon Malefic Parallelgear."

Malefic Parallelgear:
ATK/ 0 - DEF/ 0
Level 2

"Now Parallelgear tune with my Malefic Stardust Dragon" he said.

"What?" Yusei said in shock.

"You're not the only one that can synchro summon Yusei." Paradox said and continued, "Behold as the shadows strip down through the creaks of time witness how the darkness pulls together to create pure evil. I synchro summon Malefic Paradox Dragon!"

Malefic Paradox Dragon:
ATK/ 4000 - DEF/ 4000
Level 10

"Oh Ra!" Aira said as she clenches her head because of the darkness power coming from it.

"And next I'll active it's special ability," Paradox went on, "since I synchro summoned I'm allowed to bring back a synchro monster straight to the field, so raise once more Stardust Dragon!"

Stardust Dragon:
ATK/ 2500 - DEF/ 2000
Level 8

"Two Dragons again." Yusei said as he heard Luna whimper more and clenching her head even more.

"Aira! /Ai!" Yami and Yugi both called out to her.

-Yubel, Aira called her spirit guardian, What's wrong with me?- Yubel appeared next to her and Yami and Yugi both see her.

"It's the Paradox Dragon darkness energy." Yubel answered, "It's effecting you. Negate it by using your powers." She nodded and her eyes shifted from sky blue to one aqua green and one gold.

"*laughs* It's seems like the Queen is feeling the dark power from my dragon." Paradox stated as Yami, Yugi and Yusei glared at him, "Now were was I, yes Paradox Dragon reduces the attack points of the monsters in attack mode and so the number of attack points of the monster just revived."

"Oh, great." Aira groaned.

----•••----

"Not good." Banner stated, "If this keeps up Luna and the others won't last long."

-Thanks for the positive quote Professor Banner.- She thought back sarcastically.

"Sorry, I'm feeling really stress right now."

-Don't you think that Uncle Yugi, the Nameless Pharaoh Yami, Yusei and me have it easy.- She smiled, -Just keep think positive thoughts like I always and it will be alright.-

"Your right." He smiled.

----•••----

"I would say you put up a good fight, but you didn't." Paradox told them, "Malefic Paradox Dragon destroy Junk Guardna."

"Don't think so Paradox I play Junk Guardna's ability and with it your dragon is about to get switched into defence mode." Yusei told him.

Malefic Paradox Dragon:
ATK/ 4000 - DEF/ 4000
Level 10

"Fine, but there is still Stardust Dragon on the field." Paradox told them, "So Stardust Dragon attack Moonlight Crystal Electric Lightning Bird!"

Stardust Dragon attacked Moonlight Crystal Electric Lightning Bird and it was destroyed.

"Ow, how long can I keep this up." She said to herself. "Uncle Yugi did tell me not to use my power too long." Her eyes shifted back to sky blue.

"I wouldn't be so sure I play the trap Malefic Claw Stream," Paradox stated, "since a Malefic synchro monster is on my field I'm allowed to destroy one of you monsters. So Junk Guardna say good-bye!" Junk Guardna was destroy.

Paradox: 2300

Yami/Aira/Yusei: 4000

"No." Yusei said.

"Don't worry Yusei." Yami told him but he glance at Aira who shaking her head.

-We have to destroy that dragon, Yami.- Yugi said in worry looking at her, -As long as that dragon is on the field the negative dark energy won't stop.-

-I know Yugi and we will stop it.- Yami said in confidence.

"I'm sorry Yugi, but even your best won't be good enough here," Paradox told him, "not as long as I have Stardust Dragon because due to Malefic Paradox Dragon ability your monsters that are going in attack mode will deceased by Stardust Dragon's attack points."

"This is all my fault." Yusei told them while looking at Aira.

"No it's not Yusei." Aira told him as she whimpered a bit.

"She's right Yusei." Yami told him, "Stardust Dragon is your card, but you're not in control of it, at least not yet."

"What do you mean?" Yusei asked while Aira smiled but continued to clench her head.

"Next I'll play two cards face down to end my turn." Paradox concludes.

"Then it's my move, so get ready." Yami said as he drew a card.

"Very well." Paradox said, "Let's see what you've got King of Games."

"Yugi, my cards are your cards." Yusei told him.

"Well, in that case I'll use Reincarnation of Hopes effect to asses a monster from my deck to my hand," Yami said, "and the monster I choose is Dark Magician."

"As though I didn't see that coming." Paradox stated.

"I then activate the spell card known as Ancient Rules and with it I'm allowed to summon a level 5 or above monster from my hands directly to the field." Yami went on, "So take to the field Dark Magician."

Dark Magician:
ATK/ 2500 - DEF/ 2100
Level 7

"According to the history books that card is Yugi's ace." Yusei said in amazement.

Aira lift up her head to see Dark Magician, "Hey it's Mahad?" She said quietly but Dark Magician was able to hear her, he looked at her and she smiled at him but only to clench her head and began to shake her head in pain. He looked at her in sorrow because of the dark power the dragon is giving.

"Aira!" Yusei called out, "Hang in there."

"Well, interesting seems like to darkness energy is affecting her the most." Paradox said as he looked at her, "But still your Magician is still subject to Paradox Dragon's down effect."

Dark Magician:
ATK/ 2500 - 0

---•••---

"So long as Stardust Dragon is out this is going to be tough to win and..." Banner trailed off looking worriedly at Aira as she is still on the ground clenching her head. "As long as Paradox Dragon is out Aira she'll continue to feel the darkness power."

---•••---

"Listen," Yusei started making Yami look at him, "if Stardust Dragon needs to be destroyed for us to have a chance then destroy it."

"Yusei." Aira said in worry.

"It's better than that being under the control of Paradox."

"Oh how touching." Paradox said sarcastically, "Now go already."

"From my hand I play spell Bond Between Teacher And Student." Yami continued, "Since I have Dark Magician out on the field I can summon his Student Dark Magician Girl in defence mode."

Dark Magician Girl:
ATK/ 2000 - DEF/ 1700
Level 6

"Oh my." DMG said with a worry look, "Looks like it's going to be a real trick for us to come out on top here."

"Well, perhaps, but remember as Magicians there's no trick that we can't pull off." Dark Magician reminded her.

Aira looked up seeing Dark Magician Girl, "Yeah that's Mana?" She called out loud enough for them to hear then when back to closing her eyes and shaking her head, DMG and DM looked at her seeing her in pain as she continued to clench her head.

"Oh dear, is she okay?" DMG asked DM.

"No, she isn't the dark energy is affecting her really bad." DM answered.

"Poor girl, but how did she know our name?" DMG said/ asked.

"She's from the future, maybe that's why." DM said and she nodded looking down at the her in sorrow.

"Next I play the spell card Magic Gate of Miracles," Yami went on, "now since I have two spellcasters out on my field I can switch one of your monsters to defence mode and switch it to my side."

Luna smiled understanding his plan, two gates appeared on the field, and two white hand gloves appear out of the gate reaching out to Paradox Dragon.

"I play a trap Malefic Force," Paradox said in a panic, "and by equipping Malefic Force to my Monster it can't be affected by your spells which mean Paradox Dragon is no longer up for grabs."

'Idiot.' Aira thought.

"Yes, that's true but Stardust still is." Yami reminded him as the hands grab Stardust Dragon and pull him through the gate onto the side of Yusei field area. Yami looked at Yusei, "Yusei, Stardust Dragon is back where it belongs."

Yusei looked at his card revealing Stardust Dragon, "Thanks Yugi." He told him.

Stardust Dragon:
ATK/ 2500 - DEF/ 2000
Level 8

"Yes," Aira cheered a bit, "ya did it Uncle Yugi. Ouch." She said ignoring the pain for now.

Yami nodded his head, "Speaking of Paradox's Dragon. It's ability is no longer in effect which means our monsters attack points return to normal."

Dark Magician:
ATK/ 0 = 2500

"Bravo Yugi, but so what if you returned your monsters attack points." Paradox told him, "My Paradox Dragon still has him beat by 4000. Face it. You're simply out matched."

"I wouldn't say that." Yami stated with a smile, "I play spell card Dark Magic Twin Burst! With this Dark Magician's attack points increase by the total of Dark Magician Girl."

Dark Magician:
ATK/ 2500 + 2000 = 4500

"What the?" Pardox said in surprise.

"Now your Monster is the one who's out match Paradox," Yami pointed out, "and not only that it also happens to be out numbered two to one. So attack Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl."

"It's time." DM said.

"Right," DMG agreed, "to kick some butt."

"Here we go." DM announced.

"Now." DMG ordered.

"Twin Dark Magic Attack!" DM and DMG yelled out together as the attack hit Paradox Dragon through it's chest and destroyed it.

Paradox: 2300 - 500 = 1800

Yami+Aira+Yusei: 4000

"Nice." Yusei called out.

Aira let go of her head in relief of the pain, "Thank you Uncle Yugi." She said with relaxed tone. He smiled at her. She heard her crystal bells jingle and Aoi called out but only she can heard it.

'Why do I have a bad feeling,' Luna thought as she looked at Paradox, 'its like he wanted Paradox Dragon to be destroyed.' She frowned at the thought.

----•••----

"Maybe they can actually pull this off." Banner said in happy tone.

-Thanks a lot Professor for the faith you have in us.- Aira said as she rolled her eyes.

----•••----

"Well this disparate move changes nothing." Paradox announced.

"I disagree," Yami told him, "you had two monsters and now you have none."

"And I thank you for that," Paradox said, "you see all have done is clear the way for something else. Something grand, Something almighty..."

"Hurry up." Aira interrupted because she is not in a good mood right now especially with the crystal bells jingling non-stop.

"Fine." Paradox said annoyed how he was interrupted, "I play the trap Malefic Paradox Shift! With Malefic Paradox Dragon destroyed by sacrificing half of my life points I can summon my most wicked beast. MALEFIC TRUTH DRAGON!"

Paradox: 1800 - 900 = 900

Malefic Truth Dragon:
ATK/ 5000 - DEF/ 5000
Level 12

Aira stared at the big dragon in shock and started to clench her chest, she screamed out in pain.

"Aira!" Yusei called out to her, "What's wrong?" he said in a worry tone.

"I-i-it's the d-dragon," Aira stuttered in pain as she held her chest, "t-the s-s-s-shadow and d-d-arkness energy." 'And the worst part is that I can't use anymore of my powers.'

"Shadow and dark energy." Yami frowned, "It must have the same effect as Paradox Dragon, but its has more dark energy than the last one. She's feeling the shadow." Yugi looked at her in worry.

'This is why,' Aira thought, 'I hate it when I'm right.'

"This is your doing Yugi." Paradox said smugly, Yami glared at him in anger. "I hope that you are please with yourself."

"Oh no the time." Banner said as he looked at the clock, "Pegasus will be here at any time." Then he looked at Aira who is on the ground clenching her chest in pain, "And Aira is feeling the worst off all matters."

"It's my turn and I active Malefic Selector," Paradox stated, "by removing Malefic Parallelgear and Malefoc Cyber-End Dragon. I'm allowed to add two cards from my deck to the graveyard and summon forth their dark counter parts. Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon."

Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon:
ATK/ 3000 - DEF/ 2500
Level 8

Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon:
ATK/ 2400 - DEF/ 2000
Level 7

"Both Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes." Yami exclaimed in shock.

"Great, he got Uncle Joey and Uncle Seto Dragons." Aira groan in pain.

"That's right and now for taste of their power." Paradox announced, "Oh, since Malefic Truth Dragon out and one if one of your monsters goes down then all of your other monsters are also destroyed."

"WHAT?!" Yusei and Aira both exclaimed.

"I don't think so Paradox," Aira said as she got off the ground clenching her chest still, "I play Moonlight Security Orb! This trap can negate your monster attack and switch it to defences mode."

"Ai great work." Yami praised.

"I'll show you work!" Paradox exclaimed, "Go Blue-Eyes! Pick up where Red-Eyes left off!"

Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon attack Dark Magician and destroyed him.

Yami+Luna+Yusei: 4000 - 500 = 3500

"Dark Magician!" Yami cried out.

"Next Malefic Truth Dragon's special ability activates which means all of the remaining monsters you have on the field is destroyed." Paradox told them as dark red needles appeared in front of Malefic Truth Dragon and attack Yami, Aira and Yusei.

"Sorry Paradox don't think so!" Yusei called out, "I active Stardust Dragon's special ability, so by releasing my Dragon I can negate you Dragon's effect and then destroy it all together."

"What?" Paradox cried out.

"So say good-bye." Yusei said as the dark red needles reserved itself.

"Not, so fast," Paradox told him, "I play Truth Dragon's other ability! By removing Malefic Rainbow Dragon in my graveyard from play Truth Dragon is safe and you know what that means. It can carry out its attacks! And remember when one goes they are all go! Oh did I mention for every monster is destroyed by this special ability you take 800 points of damage!"

The attack of Truth Dragon sent Yami and Yusei flying till they hit the ground Aira stayed on her feet because of Yubel is holding her.

"That's right lay there and prepares to accept you fate!" Paradox told them coldly.

Yami/Luna/Yusei: 3500 - 1600 = 1900

"Can't give up." Yusei said as Aira looked back seeing Yusei and Yami struggle to get up, "We have to keep fighting no matter what."

"Keep fighting?" Paradox asked, "You three can't even defend yourselves. Next I play the spell Malefic Divide. With this I can bring back one monster from my graveyard until the end of this turn. And the Malefic Monster I choose to bring back is Malefic Stardust Dragon!"

"No." Yusei gasped.

"They only have 1900 life points left one attack from Malefic Stardust Dragon and their done for!" Banner said in horror.

"I warn you three not to interfere and now you'll see why." Paradox told them, "Malefic Stardust Dragon unleashes your fury! Now Duel Monsters shall parish. Buried deep beneath its ashes well be you four and all of the Duel Monsters cards you hold so dear."

"My worst fear," Yusei said as his vision of the future destruction, "it's actually coming true. All lost is lost."

Aira looked at him and walked up to him, he stared up at her. "Where the Yusei Fudo I meet at the beginning?" She asked softly and he was quite, "The Yusei Fudo that I meet in the beginning didn't give up hope at all. He had hope for the future as a great future till the very end." Yusei looked at her in shock and she smiled at him. "There is still hope Yusei, didn't I tell you at the beginning to not give up."

Yusei smiled at her as he got up off the ground with Yami, "Your right. There is still hope for us." Luna smiled brightly forgetting that she was in pain.

"That's right cause the three of us believe in Duel Monsters with all of our hearts while Paradox does not." Yami agreed, "And when you believe you always have a chance."

"You said it Uncle Yugi and that's why where still here," Aira told them, as she face her face down card, "let me show you, I play a spell Flute of Summoning Kuriboh! This card lets us to add a Kuriboh or Winged Kuriboh to our hand from the deck!" She smirked. "Uncle Yugi you're up!"

"Right." Yami agreed, "Kuriboh I active your special ability. An ability that let's Kuriboh take the hit from Stardust Dragon instead of us!"

"No!" Paradox yelled in anger.

"Alright there's still hope." Banner said after he clicked his fingers.

"You!" Paradox screamed, "I'll make you pay dearly for that little stunt Queen!"

Aira got a tick mark in her head, "I have a name!" She yelled at him. "So use it and stop calling me Queen would ya!"

Yami and Yugi both sweat dropped at her not matter how hard to duel is she is still herself.

"I'm not so sure you well Paradox because at the end of this turn Malefic Divide effect will be gone which means Malefic Stardust Dragon well be gone as well."

"But not the real Stardust Dragon because due to his ability it now returns to the field." Aira added as the Stardust Dragon rises to the field.

Stardust Dragon:
ATK/ 2500 - DEF/ 2000
Level 8

"Stardust Dragon glad your back." Yusei told his Dragon who roared in response. "Now I play a trap."

"Stardust Mirage. Oh no!" Paradox cried out.

"Oh yes, and since Stardust Dragon is out on the field," Yusei told him, "I can bring back all of our monsters that was destroyed during this turn." He finished as three mirrors appeared revealing Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Moonlight Crystal Wind Phoenix on the field.

Dark Magician:
ATK/ 2500 - DEF/ 2100
Level 7

Dark Magician Girl:
ATK/ 2000 - DEF/ 1700
Level 6

Level 4

"Aira." Yusei looked at her, "It's your move."

"Right Yusei," Aira told him and looked at Paradox, "it's time to end this once and for all." As she drew sixth card, "First off I reveal my facedown card Moonlight Dragon call! Your see this card is actives when a monster has been revived from a trap, spell or monster effect and summon the number of dragons that are the amount of monsters that has been revive."

"WHAT?!" Paradox yelled.

"So I like to meet my friends," she called out, "Moonlight Star Dragon, Moonlight Crystal Dragon and Moonlight Crimson Dragon!"

Three bright lights appeared on the field revealing a dragon similar to Stardust Dragon but different in appearance, other dragon is a beautiful dragon with white and blue outline scales and clear blue eyes and she has crystals at the tip of the wings and tail sparkling. The last dragon showed a long beautiful white dragon and its crystals wings shining brightly like no other. All the dragons roared and glared at Malefic Truth Dragon in anger.

Moonlight Star Dragon:
ATK/ 4000 - DEF/ 4000
Level 8

Moonlight Crystal Dragon:
ATK/ 5000 - DEF/ 5000
Level 10

Moonlight Crimson Dragon:
ATK/ 8000 - DEF/ 8000
Level 12

"Beautiful." Yusei said in awe. He saw how similar her Star is to his Stardust Dragon but the points where higher.

"Agreed." Yami agreed as Yugi looked at the dragons as well.

"WHAT?! 8000 attacks points." Paradox cried out in shock.

"And there's more to come I play Moonlight Bring to Light! Now I can add up to four monsters from your deck, graveyard and even the one removed from play to our decks." Aira declared.

"WHAT?!" Paradox said shocked.

"I told them that I'll save them and I kept my promises." Aira retorted, "So Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Rainbow Dragon and Cyber-End Dragon go to the deck you want."

Four orbs of light floated out of Paradox's duel disk and to Yami's and Aira's deck. Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes went to Yami and Rainbow Dragon and Cyber-End went to Aira.

"Nice Ai!" Yusei and Yami both praised.

"Now I activate the spell card Ancient Rules and I use it to summon Moonlight Rose Dragon to the field." Aira declared as blue roses started to appear on the field revealing a big flower dragon with blue eyes and its body with white colour and blue lines with it, light blue petals and light green vines coming from it. It gave a loud roar in addition to the dragons.

Moonlight Rose Dragon:
ATK/ 3000 - DEF/ 2650
Level 7

Yusei looked at it in shock as how it was similar to Akiza Black Rose Dragon except for the colours and attack points. The he realised that all her dragons expect for the Crystal are similar to his friends as well.

"Also Moonlight Crimson Dragon has a special ability, you see for every dragons that are on the field now it gains 2000 extra attack points for each one." Aira announced as Moonlight Crimson Dragon attack points went up.

"WHAT?!" Yami and Yusei said in shock.

Moonlight Crimson Dragon:
ATK/ 8000 + 12000 = 20000

"20000 attack points!" Paradox yelled in panick.

"Woah!" Yami said and Yugi agreed.

"And it's about to go higher," Aira said and they look at her in surprise, "I play Moonlight Spiral Force! With this card I can choose a monster on our side of the field and double its attack points."

Moonlight Crimson Dragon:
ATK/ 20000 + 20000 = 40000

Yami smirked, "I also play a trap," he announce, "Dark Spiral Force! And due to this force I can select a monster out on our side of the field and double its attack points once again."

Moonlight Crimson Dragon:
ATK/ 40000 + 40000 = 80000

"I also play a trap," Yusei added, "Star Spiral Force! [A/N: Made up card so Yusei can be a part of the double attacks points.] And it's the same as the other forces so Moonlight Crimson Dragon doubles once again."

Moonlight Crimson Dragon:
ATK/ 80000 + 80000 = 160000

"160000 attack points. Oh no!" Paradox exclaimed in defeat and fear.

"That's right!" Yami, Aira and Yusei said together.

"Now attack Stardust Dragon!" Yusei exclaimed.

"Dark Magician, attack!" Yami ordered.

Moonlight Crimson Dragon roared, "Show him the light will always prevail against the dark! Moonlight Crimson Dragon attack!" Aira ordered.

In unison, Yami, Yusei and Aira exclaimed, "Go Dark Moonlight Comic Wave!"

"No! NOooooo!" Paradox exclaimed as the attacks hit and he disappeared.

Paradox: 900 - 155000 _ 0000

Yami/Aira/Yusei: 1900

The duel completed and the three duelists sigh in relief.

Birdy, Birdy

Aoi landed on her shoulder and Pharaoh was seating next to her leg. "Well. The duel is over so..." Aira called out as they all looked at her, "That's Game!" She shouted happily and her dragons all roared in agreement. She laughed at them before they all disappeared.

Yami, Yugi and Yusei laugh at her cheerfulness after the intense duel they just finished.
