((Collab between Rethel34 & Joshua Tamashii))

“Alright students,” the MC began, “it’s time for an exhibition match featuring our Fusion and Synchro Courses! For our Fusion Course, the representative will be Brent Rytora! Then, his opponent and the representative of our Synchro Course . . . Amelia Averyonna! This Duel will be conducted under the official Action Duel guidelines, and in concordance with that, an Action Field must be selected.

“Action Field on!” the MC shouted. “And what better field for an entertaining public performance than the Field Spell, [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Broadway]‘Magical Broadway[/url]’!”

The Solid Vision with Mass generator below emitted its bright beams of light, and before everyone’s eyes, the Action Field took form, a gigantic street filled with neon signs and colors. The street was definitely built to make finding Action Cards difficult, but Brent had an idea he knew where to find some of them, but first he had to get there.

When “Magical Broadway” finally took its full shape, the MC continued. “Now Duelists, draw your first five cards!” As per the instructions, Brent activated his Duel Disk and grabbed the first five cards of his Deck. One glance at his hand was all he needed to know he had a chance to win.

“Duelists locked in battle, kicking against the earth and dancing through the skies with their monsters, they storm through this field! Behold, the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! Action . . . !” The MC snapped his fingers above his head, and the Action Cards scattered across the field. A beat later, the audience shouted as one.

“DUEL!”

Amelia looked at the ground as her name was announced. She was already nervous enough as it was but to suddenly be in the spotlight was enough to scare her out of her mind. However, her fear was soon replaced by a feeling of awe as the Action Field was generated. She looked up just in time to see the action cards fall around them and her face lit up.

"So pretty," she said in amazement.

For a split second, Brent hesitated, nervous in front of the majority of the school’s students, but then went forward at a full sprint, scanning for Action Cards. “I’ll start by Summoning [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Elemental_HERO_Blazeman]‘Elemental HERO Blazeman’[/url] to my side of the field in Attack Position!”

The HERO materialized beside him, and Brent called out in response: “This triggers my monster’s effect, allowing me to search my Deck for one [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Polymerization]‘Polymerization’[/url] card! Now I’ll activate the card added to my hand by this effect, fusing the ‘Elemental HERO Blazeman’ from my field with the [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/King_Pyron]‘King Pyron’[/url] in my hand! Hero born from flame . . . king of all that burns . . . meld together in a whirlwind of raging fire! Fusion Summon! Show us your power, [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Elemental_HERO_Nova_Master]‘Elemental HERO Nova Master’[/url]!”

When the monster was fully in shape beside him, Brent gave it its first command. “Get us up there, ‘Nova Master’!” The ‘Elemental HERO’ grabbed Brent and jumped to the top of a building, continuing his search for an Action Card. He found one wedged behind one of the neon signs and picked it up. Awesome, he thought. I’ll have to hold on to this. “Now I’ll place two cards face-down and end my turn!”

"Alright then. I draw a card here," Amelia said to herself, before looking at her hand. She wasn't sure if it was a good hand, but she might be able to do something with it. She quickly looked at "Nova Master's" stats and saw she had no chance of beating it with her monsters. Her hand didn't present a lot of options so she took made the only move she could.

"I put one monster in face-down Defense Position and set one card. Then I'll end my turn," she said, the cards appearing in front of her. She just had to hope things went well for her. She had studied her Deck as much as she could after getting it only the day before and hoped that that would be enough to let her put up a fight.

Brent was shocked when Amelia didn't play an elaborate turn. He was used to hearing that Synchro and Xyz Decks focused on bringing out their Extra Deck monsters as swiftly as possible. Maybe this was a decoy? He frowned, but knew he wouldn't defeat Amelia by just standing around. "My turn; draw!"

Brent glanced down at his hand. There wasn't anything helpful there yet, but with the right other cards, he could perform a combo that would blow the minds of others. "Doesn't look like I have much else to do," Brent declared, "other than to jump straight to my Battle Phase! 'Nova Master', attack her face-down monster!"

"Nova Master" raised its hands above its head, the flames from its palms becoming one massive fireball. Then "Nova Master" leaped into the air. Brent watched, expecting Amelia to run for an Action Card, activate the face-down card, something! But nothing happened to resist the attack.

Amelia was almost blown back by the explosion caused by Nova Master's fireball as it struck her monster. From among the flames a small bird could be seen only to shatter to pieces the next second. "You destroyed [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gusto_Gulldo]'Gusto Gulldo'[/url]." She said as the card appeared on her field. "When 'Gulldo' is sent to the Graveyard I can Summon a level 2 or lower Gusto monster from my Deck to take it's place, so I bring out Gusto Falco in defense position!"

"So be it, but my monster's effect also triggered since it successfully destroyed a monster," Brent explained, "allowing me to draw 1 card." There had been a catch, but when Brent saw the card he had drawn, he smiled a bit. "It's time to start burning! I play the effect of the monster in my hand, [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/King_of_the_Swamp]'King of the Swamp'[/url]! Now by discarding him, I can add 1 'Polymerization' card from my Deck to my hand! Just like before, I activate that 'Polymerization' card, and chain to it the Trap Card: [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chain_Material]‘Chain Material’[/url], so I can banish monsters from my Graveyard as Fusion Materials! I fuse ‘King Pyron’ and ‘King of the Swamp’ in my Graveyard! King of all that burns . . . great master of Fusion . . . join forces to create a powerful blazing machine! Fusion Summon! Take to the skies, [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Blaze_Fenix,_the_Burning_Bombardment_Bird]‘Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird’[/url]!"

In a fantastic spiral of flame, the gigantic blazing bird became airborne, its whole body seemingly constructed by the fire it generated. "With that done," Brent continued, "I activate the effect of 'Blaze Fenix', allowing me to inflict 300 damage to you for each card you control! Since it was Summoned during my second Main Phase, my monster's inability to attack when this effect is activated is of no consequence to me. 'Blaze Fenix', strike with 'Burning Tempest'!"

Amelia braced herself as the flames washed over her. She had nothing to counter this but she had to believe she could do something, even with the odds stacked against her at the moment. Taking a deep breath she looked at the field. Falco was still there. That meant she might have a chance so she would just have to do what seemed like the best choice.

Brent watched Amelia's Life Point counter drop from 4000 to 3400 from the effect damage she had just taken. He had more than an upper hand now, as his field and his Life Points both looked better at this point in the game than Amelia's. "Now we've reached my End Phase, where the effect of 'Chain Material' would destroy 'Blaze Fenix', but," Brent stated, "I have this. Action Spell: [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Wings_of_Dimension]'Wings of Dimension'[/url] activate and negate the destruction of 'Blaze Fenix'! With this, the baton passes to you, Amelia."

Gale was excited when she saw her brother down on the court. Though he had missed the bus, he had still made it on time, which was good; Gale enjoyed watching her brother Duel. Then the Action Field was activated and Gale was instantly excited, almost wishing she could be Dueling down there as well. With Brent's first turn he was already Fusion Summoning, making Gale even more excited.

Then his second turn came around and he Fusion Summoned again! Gale was off her seat and cheering for her brother when she saw 'Blaze Fenix' rise into the air. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a boy sitting all by himself. The friendly, fearless, and outgoing person that she is, Gale stood and walked to the boy, who had just slurped up a gummy worm.

"Hi there!" Gale said loudly when she came to his side. "I'm Gale Rytora, one of the students in the Ritual Course and the younger sister of the awesome guy Dueling down there! I don't think we've ever met before. What's your name?"
