Yu-Gi-Oh! Fourseasons

"What is the reward this time?" With an excited heart and trembling hand, You Dong opened the box containing the rewards for the top 16.

"Great! The magic card [Whirlwind], although the effect isn't very strong, it's quite rare, and I can sell it for a lot of pocket money..." Before You Dong could finish his mutterings, You Yue snatched the [Whirlwind] card away.

You Yue looked at You Dong with a strange expression and said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, why do you always think of selling things you don't need to earn pocket money? Don't forget you have me as your sister?"

You Dong laughed and replied awkwardly, "I was just looking at your [Froststar] deck, which doesn't need this card."

You Yue pouted, snorted, and ran upstairs, ignoring You Dong.

You Dong scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Honestly, if you want it, just tell me. It's not like I won't give it to you."

Just then, You Dong's phone rang!

You Dong picked up his phone and saw a number he didn't recognize.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" You Dong answered the phone and asked.

A voice brimming with passion rang out: "My second arch-rival, You Dong! Why aren't you participating in tonight's quarterfinals?!"

Upon hearing that passionate voice, You Dong instantly knew it was Long Dou, but Long Dou's words startled him.

"What? The quarterfinals are tonight? Isn't it tomorrow?"

On the other end of the phone, Long Dou said anxiously, "I don't know what's going on! It just changed suddenly. Hurry! You're in the third match! Get there before the first two matches are over! I don't want to see my second nemesis lose because of something so trivial!"

Originally, Long Dou's long-distance phone call to remind You Dong was very touching, but You Dong was still speechless at Long Dou's last sentence.

"I understand, thank you. Just wait and see me show off my skills!" After saying that, You Dong hung up the phone and shouted upstairs, "You Yue! I'm going to the competition!"

……

"Please welcome contestants number five and six to the stage!"

As the referee's voice faded, contestant number six, You Dong, and contestant number five stepped onto the competition field.

The other person was a long-haired girl wearing a long robe, and You Dong immediately felt that she looked familiar.

The other person recognized You Dong: "Isn't this the You Dong who tried to stand up for his sister three years ago but ended up being beaten and crying by me?"

Hearing her words, You Dong remembered and was furious: "Shu Yu! How dare you say that! We haven't settled the score for you stealing You Yue's card and beating me up yet! Besides, we're about the same age, please don't add 'little' before my name!"

The girl, whom You Dong called "Shuyudi," smiled and said, "The card has already been returned to your sister, and the fact that you couldn't beat me means you're simply not skilled enough!"

You Dong retorted, "That's because you lack martial ethics! I initially thought it was going to be a duel! But then you just kicked me! Now, I'm going to beat you to a pulp in a duel, leaving you bruised and battered!"

Shu Yu smiled enigmatically again: "I never thought Yu Yuan would lose to someone like you who talks big."

"You know Yu Yuan?" This was something You Dong hadn't expected.

Shu Yu said indifferently, "We're just classmates."

You Dong said, "Getting back to the point, I must defeat you!"

Shu Yu sneered, "If you can do it, then come and try!"

Seeing that the two players were ready, the referee slapped a card onto the machine in front of him and shouted, "The game begins!"

The machine in front of the referee announced: "Action arena - alternate dimension."

You Dong was dumbfounded: "What's going on? Long Dou didn't tell me it was an action duel!"

……

Meanwhile, at home, Long Dou, who was organizing his deck, slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "I don't think I told You Dong that this match is an action duel... Oh well, it's okay, You Dong is my second nemesis, so it should be fine."

……

You Dong suddenly realized, if this were an action duel, then wouldn't it be...?

"I'll go first!" You Dong seized the initiative.

"My turn."

"I activate the Spell Card [Angel's Charity] from my hand, draw three cards, and send two cards from my hand to the Graveyard."

"I usually summon [Hibernating Serpent] (Defense Position)."

"I activate the effect of [Still Hunting Eagle] in the Graveyard and Special Summon it."

"I'll cover two cards, turn over." You Dong hastily ended his turn.

Yu Dong has 1 card in hand, 2 in front row, 2 in back row, 8000 life points, 2 in graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

Shu Yu: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Continuous Spell Card [The Source of the Warrior] from my hand."

"I activate the effect of [Source of the Martial Arts] once per turn, place a Martial Arts Counter on this card."

"I usually summon [Martial Artist/Boxer]."

"I activate the effect of [Origin of the Warrior] to remove two Warrior counters from this card and Special Summon one [Warrior] monster from my hand."

"[The Source of the Martial Arts] effect activated: Place a Martial Arts Counter on this card."

"I activate the effect of [Gentian] to add one [Martial Artist] monster from my Graveyard to my hand; I add [Swordsman] to my hand."

"I activate the effect of [Dragon's Gallant]: when this monster is the only one on the field, its ATK increases by 100 times the number of [Martial Arts] monsters in my hand! That is to say, the ATK of [Dragon's Gallant] increases to 2900!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Gentian] Attacks [The Still Hunting Eagle]!"

"I activate the effect of [Gentian] once per turn: when this monster attacks, destroy 1 monster your opponent controls with 2000 or less ATK! [Still Predating Eagle], destroy it!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, You Dong knew that [Gentian] with an attack power of 2900 was about to attack directly, so he immediately turned around to pick up the action magic card.

"Trying to pick up the action magic card? Dream on!" Shu Yu rushed forward and kicked You Dong to the ground, pinning him down!

"The worst thing still happened!" You Dong complained, looking at the Action Magic Card that was so close yet out of reach.

"[Gentian] Continue the direct attack!" Shu Yu declared, signaling her attack!

"I can't just give up like this!" You Dong kicked Shu Yu hard with his left foot, causing the unprepared Shu Yu to stumble.

"Now!" You Dong lunged forward, picked up the Action Spell Card, slammed it onto the Duel Disk, and explained its effect: "Action Spell Card [Explosion], destroys all cards on both players' fields, and both players take 1000 damage!"

Shuyu threw a card from his hand into the graveyard and shouted, "I activate the effect of [Martial Arts Assassin] in my hand. When my opponent activates a Spell Card or Trap Card, I send this card from my hand to the graveyard, negate that effect, and destroy that card!"

[Martial Arts Assassin], Attribute: Dark, Level 5, Effect Monster, Warrior Type, Attack 1900, Defense 0.

"Damn it!" Yu Dong pulled [Hibernating Snake] from the graveyard, placed it on the Duel Disk, and explained, "I activate the effect of [Hibernating Snake] to reduce this monster's ATK and DEF to 0, Special Summon it to the field (Defense Position), and banish it at the end of the turn."

Shu Yu: "[Gentian] Keep attacking!"

[Gentian] wields his spear and destroys [Hibernating Snake].

Shuyu ends his turn: "Turn ends."

Yu Dong has 0 card in hand, 0 in front row, 2 in back row, 8000 life points, 5 in graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

Rain of Deception: 0 cards in hand, 1 in front row, 1 in back row, 8000 life points, 3 in graveyard, 0 banished cards.

You Dong: "My turn, draw a card!"

You Dong was overjoyed when he saw the card he had drawn!

"I activate the effect of [Hibernating Serpent] in my Graveyard. It has 0 ATK and 0 DEF. I Special Summon it to the field and banish it at the end of the turn."

"I activate the effect of [Still Hunting Eagle] in my graveyard and Special Summon it to the field."

"I banish [Winter Synchron] from my hand and Special Summon two [Winter Tokens] (Defense Position)."

"I'll level up [Winter's Token] and [Hibernating Serpent]! Synchro Summon! Level 5! [Winter's Frost Gunner]!"

"Advance to the combat tier!"

"[Ice Spear King] Attack [Dragon's Gallbladder]!"

Shu Yu became wary: "Attack with a monster that has lower attack power?"

The spears in the hands of [Gentian] and [Ice Spear King] clashed! [Gentian] then turned around and thrust his spear into [Ice Spear King]!

You Dong's lips curled up slightly as he smiled and said, "I'll activate the effect of [Ice Spear King] to reduce combat damage to 0 and destroy your [Dragon's Gall] on the field!"

The king of staged accidents, always successful!

"Continue! [The eagle still hunting], attack directly!"

Seeing this, Shuyu rushed towards the nearest Action Spell Card!

"I won't let you succeed!" You Dong rushed forward, trying to stop Shu Yu.
