What in the...

Why German? Also other foreign languages.

"Draw!" Carnel said, drawing a card from his deck. Examining his card, Carnel nodded. "I'll make this quick," Carnel said. "I Summon Cardcar D in Attack position." A thin blue car appeared on the field, as if driving up from the card.

Cardcar D
Level 2
ATK 800 DEF 400

"Battle! Cardcar D, destroy Petit Moth!" Carnel commanded, and the car was quick to make Petit Moth into roadkill, popping it into yellow sparkles as the car drove into the poor bug. "Stratos, Plasma, direct attack on Gabriel!" Stratos fired his double cyclone, followed up by Plasma's Bloody Fear, both headed straight for Gabriel.

Gabriel: 3900 LP -> 2100 LP -> 0 LP

WIN: Carnel!

As the monsters faded, Carnel went over to Gabriel and extended a hand for a handshake. "That was a good Duel," Carnel complimented with his usual polite smile. "Maybe we can Duel again some time."

"Not bad," Carnel remarked. The little larvae creeped him out as it attacked him, and he was quick to swat it aside after it was done chipping away at his Life Points.

Carnel: LP 8000 -> LP 7700

"I now activate a face-down card of mine as well: Scapegoat!" Carnel said, and four more tiny lambs of varying color appeared in front of Carnel. "This summons four 'Sheep Tokens' in Defense Position, so that Lava Golem isn't going to touch me."

Sheep Token
Level 1
ATK 0 DEF 0

"Okay. Your Lava Golem will attack your little token. I hope you don't plan on defeating me with those weaklings. Go ahead. I end my turn," Gabriel responded.

The little blue sheep was shot down by a fireball, which Carmel shielded himself from the impact with his arm once more. Carmel had plenty of shields, but that meant little if he could not draw the cards he needed, and he would need them soon.

"Draw!" Carmel declared, drawing a card. Taking a look at it, Carnel smiled. It was the first step to his comeback.

"I activate a Trap card: Royal Decree!" Carmel said, revealing the other face-down on his field. "This card negates all other Traps on the field for as long as it is face-up on the field."

Now that the field was set, it was time to go on the offensive. "I Summon Elemental HERO Stratos i Attack position," Carnel declared, and a warrior an armored blue flight suit, complete with a pair of wings and rotors, appeared on the field.

Elemental HERO Stratos
Level 4
ATK 1800 DEF 300

"With Stratos' effect, I can add one 'HERO' monster from my deck to my hand," Carnel explained as he pulled out a card that had been ejected from his deck, revealing it to Gabriel. "This monster can only be Special Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters, and I so conveniently have 3 Sheep Tokens for that purpose." Then, the Sheep Tokens disappeared with a pop of yellow sparkles, and Carnel chanted, "Master of blood, strike fear into our foes. Take their strength as your own and render them helpless. Level 8! Destiny HERO - Plasma!" In the Sheep Tokens' place appeared a humanoid figure with dark purple armor and large tattered wings appeared next to Stratos, generating a menacing aura.

Destiny HERO - Plasma
Level 8
ATK 1900 DEF 600

"I activate the effect of my Destiny HERO - Plasma! Once per turn, I can target one monster my opponent controls and equip it to him!" Carnel explained. "I'll take back my Lava Golem for this." Plasma then spread his wings, and a strong wind was suddenly generated, slowly sucking in the Lava Golem.

"Hm. You're forgetting that I have TWO facedowns!" Gabriel snorted. "Once again, I have my favorite Forbidden Chalice! And I'll use its effect on your Destiny HERO!" he declared victoriously.

"You're not the only one with those 'Forbidden' cards, you know," Carnel retorted as he took a card from his hand and played it. "I activate a Quick-Play Spell card from my hand: Forbidden Lance! Plasma loses 800 ATK, but he won't be affected by other Spells or Traps." The chalice attempted to pour its contents onto Plasma, but a lance came flying out of Carnel's card and smashed it into pieces, the chalice's payload scattering everywhere with not a single drop landing on Carnel's monsters. Meanwhile, Lava Golem could no longer resist the pull of Destiny HERO - Plasma's wings and was sucked in, simultaneously freeing Gabriel from his cage. "When a monster is equipped to Destiny HERO - Plasma, he gains half the ATK of the equipped monster," Carnel explained.

Destiny HERO - Plasma: 1900 ATK -> 1100 ATK -> 2600 ATK

"Now then, let us proceed to the battle phase. Elemental HERO Stratos, attack Petit Moth!" Carnel commanded, and Stratos shot himself upward, soon reaching an elevated position before firing a twin cyclone from his rotors, blowing away Petit Moth. "Destiny HERO - Plasma, attack Gabriel directly! Bloody Fears!" Plasma spread his wings once more and fired small pellets of what appeared to be blood from them.

Gabriel: 8000 LP -> 6500 LP -> 3900 LP

"At the End Phase, Destiny HERO - Plasma's ATK is no longer affect by Forbidden Lance. With that, I end my turn," Carnel said.

Destiny HERO - Plasma: 2600 ATK -> 3400 ATK

Well, it wasn't like losing both tokens was a scenario Carnel hadn't accounted for. He still had a number of options open to him.

"Draw!" Carnel declared as he drew his next card. First things first, he would have to get rid of that Ultimate Insect, and he had a decent card to do so. "I suppose you know what happens when insects meet flames, correct?" Carnel asked. Without waiting for a reply, Carnel continued, "By Tributing your Ultimate Insect LV7 and Howling Insect, I can Special Summon Lava Golem to your side of the field." The two monsters suddenly burned up and melted, only to merge together in a large mass of molten lava. A cage also formed around Gabriel, trapping him underneath the monster.

Lava Golem
Level 8
ATK 3000 DEF 2500

"Now, for every one of you Standby Phases, you will take 1000 damage," Carnel explained. "With that, I end my turn."

Still not a fan of post-by-post Dueling.

"Charmed," Carnel responded to Gabriel's introduction. And so the Duel began with a level 5 monster already on the field along with two face-downs. All in all, it appeared to be a strong field. Regardless, Carnel had no intention of letting that stop him.

"Draw!" Carnel declared as he drew his next card. Examining his hand, Carnel was quick to determine his course of action. "I play the Spell card: Stray Lambs," he said as the card appeared in front of him, and out come from that card two small balls of fur, one light orange and one white. "This card allows me to Special Summon two 'Lamb Tokens' in Defense position. I'll also place two cards face-down and end my turn."

Lamb Token: ATK 0 DEF 0, Level 1

@KOgaming, I was looking up the ruling for Insect Imitation and Pinch Hopper, and apparently you can't use Pinch Hopper's effect in this case. Pinch Hopper misses the timing.

I was planning to just defeat a single npc offscreen before moving on to actually Dueling a player, but this works too, I guess.

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

@Scarifar, not to be an asshole about this, but is your name @KOgaming?

'Cause I'm pretty sure it's not.

@The book of bad juju

Sorry, just wanted to offer my 2 cents on the topic.

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

@KOgaming: Is it okay if I have Ayami battle and beat a mob character before moving on with stuff, or should I be actively seeking a fight with another player?

@PKMNB0Y

You can go either way for the beginning, really. Things will be progressing, though, so maybe consider who your next PC character will be.
