Yu-Gi-Oh! Fourseasons

It was You Dong's turn again: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the effect of [Winter Synchron] in my hand, banish this monster, and Special Summon two [Winter Tokens]."

"Then I Tribute one of the [Winter Tokens] on the field to Tribute Summon [Winter Multifaceted Snowflake]. This monster can be Tribute Summoned by Tributing just one monster."

[Winter Multifaceted Snowflake], Water attribute, Level 7, Effect Monster, Spellcaster type, Attack 2500, Defense 2300.

"It's coming! I'll upgrade the level 1 [Winter Token] and the level 7 [Multifaceted Snowflake]! Synchro Summon! Level 8! [Winter Blizzard]!"

[Winter Blizzard], Water attribute, Level 8, Effect/Synchron Monster, Spellcaster type, ATK 3000, DEF 2000.

"When I activate the effect of [Blizzard], and this monster is successfully Synchro Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 [Snowflake] from my hand. This effect cannot be negated."

A brand new [Multifaceted Snowflake] appeared on the field, exchanging a glance with [Blizzard].

You Dong opened the card he had previously set face down: "I opened the face down card [Pot of Greed], returned the five monsters in my graveyard to my deck, shuffled them, and drew one card."

"I'm returning [Hibernating Frog], [Hibernating Snake], [Still Hunting Eagle], [Multifaceted Snowflake], and [Winter Dragon] to my deck."

"Because [Winter Dragon] is a Synchro Monster, it is returned to the Extra Deck."

Yu Xia, standing in the crowd, thought to herself, "Knowing that it can't be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, Yu Dong returned [Winter Dragon] to the Extra Deck. He's really clever. Most people wouldn't know what to do in this situation."

"However, even if you resummon [Winter Dragon], as long as [United Birds and Beasts] is still on the field, Yu Dong's chances of winning are less than 35%. Yu Dong, do you have that card in your hand?"

Yu Dong Synchro Summoned Again: "I'll upgrade my Level 1 [Winter Token] and Level 7 [Multifaceted Snowflake]! Synchro Summon! Make a glorious return, [Winter Dragon]!"

"Then there are two effects from [Winter Dragon]. [Winter Dragon]'s attack power increases to 3200. I draw two cards."

Yu Dong looked at the card he had drawn and was overjoyed. He revealed a white-blue Kuriboh card: "I activate the effect of [Winter Kuriboh] in my hand to send this monster from my hand or field to the graveyard and negate one attack, monster effect, spell card, or trap card!"

"What I want to negate is [United Birds and Beasts]! Because [United Birds and Beasts] is a continuous trap card, negation is permanent!"

[Winter Kuriboh], Water type, Level 4, Effect Monster, Fiend type, Attack 500, Defense 300.

"What?!" Gu Jun was a little surprised.

The current [United Birds and Beasts] is a useless card that wastes the Spell & Trap Zone, but if Yuuto doesn't play it, Gu Jun can't get rid of it at all.

You Dong laughed and said, "There are two level 8 monsters on the field now. Guess what will happen?"

"Are you going to perform an Xyz Summon?!" Gu Jun exclaimed in surprise.

You Dong laughed, "Bingo! You got it right! As a reward, let me show you that Xyz Monster that belongs to [Winter]! I'll summon my Level 8 [Blizzard] and Level 8 [Winter Dragon]! I'll use these two monsters to construct a Superimposed Network! Xyz Summon! Level 8! [Winter Blizzard Dragon]!"

A wingless, sharp-looking white dragon crawled out from the overlapping network of light constructed by [Blizzard] and [Winter Dragon], and roared to the sky!

[Winter Blizzard Dragon], Water attribute, Rank 8, Effect/Xyz Monster, Dragon type, ATK 3300, DEF 3000.

Yu Xia, standing in the crowd, thought to himself, "I only taught him Xyz Summoning on a whim back then, I never expected he would actually learn it!"

Yu Dong shouted excitedly, "I activate the effect of [Blizzard Dragon], consuming one Xyz Material to Special Summon my other Xyz Material to the field. At the end of the turn, it reverts to the Xyz Material of this monster!"

"I remove the [blizzard]! Let's make a grand return, [Winter Dragon]!"

"I activate the effect of [Winter Dragon], [Winter Dragon]'s ATK increases to 3200, and I can draw two cards."

"Then comes the effect of [Blizzard Dragon]: its ATK increases by 500 for each [Winter] monster on the field!"

Looking at the [Blizzard Dragon] with 3800 attack power, Gu Jun swallowed hard.

"It's not over yet! I'm activating the card I just drew—the Field Spell Card [Ice Age]! [Winter] monsters gain 300 ATK and can no longer be destroyed by battle!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Winter Dragon] Attacks [Mortar Swan]!"

Gu Jun activates his face-down card: "I activate face-down card [Peacekeeper]. This turn, all damage taken by monsters on your opponent's field becomes 0."

Just when Gu Jun thought he had escaped a disaster, a card in You Dong's hand startled him—

"I activate the effect of [Winter Insect] in my hand. When my opponent activates a face-down card, I banish this card, negate its effect, and banish that card as well."

"[Winter Dragon]! Continue the fight! Zero Strike!"

[Winter Dragon] unleashes its breath, destroying [Mortar Swan]!

"Then [Blizzard Dragon] attacks [Thruster Parrot]!"

"Ugh—" Gu Jun groaned as he took 3300 consecutive hits.

Yu Dong ends his turn with a face-down card: "I set two cards face-down, and my turn ends. At this time, the effect of [Blizzard Dragon] activates, and [Winter Dragon] becomes [Blizzard Dragon]'s Xyz Material again. At the same time, because there is one less [Winter] monster on the field, [Blizzard Dragon]'s ATK drops to 3600."

Yu Dong has 0 card in hand, 1 in front row, 2 in back row, 5600 life points, 5 in graveyard, and 4 banished cards.

Tani Jun has 0 cards in hand, 0 in front row, 0 in back row, 4700 life points, 7 in the graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

Gu Jun's turn: "My turn, draw a card!"

Upon seeing the card he had drawn, Tani Jun let out a president-style (wild boar-like) laugh: "Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha! I drew that card! You're doomed!"

Yu Qiu, standing in the crowd, covered his face, thinking, "This guy's old habit has kicked in again. Every time the opponent is about to turn the tide, Gu Jun always draws that card. This kid is such an idiot. If we don't use Xyz Monsters, it's useless even if Gu Jun draws that card."

Gu Jun activated the card he had just drawn: "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Rebellion Entanglement] from my hand. When there is an Xyz [Rebellion Iron Bird] monster in my Graveyard that was destroyed by battle, I change the Xyz Material of that monster to the same Level as the Xyz Material of an Xyz Monster on your opponent's field, and then overlay it with that Xyz Material!"

You Dong exclaimed in surprise, "It can actually be stacked with a monster that's still in an overabundance of materials?!"

"Awaken, slumbering peregrine falcon of the sun! Punish the dragons and thunderfox! Xyz Summon! Rank 8! [Rebellious Ironbird Fortress Crow]!"

[Rebellious Iron Bird Fortress Golden Crow], Attribute: Fire, Rank 8, Effect/Xyz Monster, Winged Beast Type, ATK 3500, DEF 3700.

"Then, I activate the effect of [Fortress Golden Crow], which grants three uses per turn, consumes one Xyz Material, increases attack power by 1000, and restores it at the end of the turn! I will first remove your [Winter Dragon]!"

"I'm activating the first effect of [Fortress Golden Crow] again! [Fortress Golden Crow]'s attack power increases to 5500!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! I activate the effect of [Fortress Golden Crow], consuming one Xyz Material to attack directly!"

"What?!" This completely disrupted You Dong's plans. He had originally intended to rely on the effect of [Blizzard Dragon] to survive this round.

Gu Jun ends his turn: "Turn over. [Fortress Golden Crow]'s attack power is now restored."

"Your base score is already at its lowest! You're sure to lose the next round!"

You Dong shouted, "What a lot of trouble!!"

"As long as the duel is not completely over, no one can predict its outcome!"

"As long as I'm alive, even if my hand, front row, back row, and even my deck are all empty, I still have a chance to win!"

"I'm so tired! Shake it off!"

In that instant, You Dong's left eye turned silver!

……

In the principal's office, the principal was leisurely sipping coffee.

Suddenly a phone call came in!

The principal answered the phone and said lazily, "Hello?"

Suddenly, the principal's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?! Winter used World's card-creating ability?! It didn't affect the other three, did it?! That's good—continue to observe, and report to me immediately if any unusual situations arise!"

You Dong looked at the card he had just drawn, smiled, and called out to Gu Jun:

"You just said it, didn't you? I'll definitely be finished in the next round..."

"but!

"You don't have a next round!"

"I usually summon the [Winter King Dragon Sword]!"

Suddenly, You Dong realized, "Wait a minute, I don't remember having this card in my deck. When did I put it in? I don't think this card is sold on the market either?"

"I can't worry about that anymore! I'll activate the face-down card [Winter Lantern] and Special Summon [Winter Dragon] from my Graveyard!"

"The effects of [Winter Dragon] and [Ice Age] activate. [Winter Dragon]'s ATK increases to 3800. I draw two cards."

"I activate the effect of [Winter King Dragon Sword], and this monster can be equipped to the [Winter] monster as an Equip Card."

"The attack power of a [Winter] monster equipped with this monster increases by 500, the attack power of a Dragon-type [Winter] monster increases by an additional 1000, and the attack power of a Dragon-type Synchro [Winter] monster increases by an additional 1500!"

"And [Winter Dragon] meets all three conditions! Its attack power increases to 6800!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Winter Dragon] Attack [Fortress Golden Crow]!"

[Winter Dragon] charges forward and destroys [Fortress Golden Crow] with a single Iai Slash!

Gu Jun endured the pain and said, "It's okay, I still have a chance to turn things around in the next round."

You Dong held a card between his index and middle fingers, slowly pointed it at Gu Jun, and said, word by word:

I've already said...

"You don't have a next round!"

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Inertia] from my hand! [Winter Dragon]'s ATK is reduced to 6500, and it can attack again!"

"Go! [Winter Dragon], attack directly!"

"Glacier Dragon King Slash!"

[Winter Dragon] raised the [Winter Dragon King Sword] high, and ice gradually formed on the [Winter Dragon King Sword], eventually turning it into a ten-meter-long sword, which he then slashed down fiercely!

"Ah!" The 6500 damage caused Gu Jun to lose all feeling in his entire body.

Gui Hai announced the result: "You Dong wins!"

……

You Dong stepped forward and reached out his hand to Gu Jun, trying to help him up.

Suddenly, Gu Jun raised his hands in front of him and shouted, which was very out of character for him, "Don't kill me!"

You Dong was puzzled: "Kill you? Why would I kill you? It was just a normal duel I lost. Did you think we were playing a dark game?"

Gu Jun realized that You Dong hadn't killed him and had even gone on and on. He immediately reverted to his previous murderous demeanor, slapped You Dong's hand away, and got up to walk into the crowd.

You Qiu stepped forward and whispered, "Gu Jun, things are different here than there. Be more careful next time."

Gu Jun lowered his head and said, "Sister You Qiu, I'll try my best."

You Qiu muttered to herself, "They always just brush me off like this."

You Dong also returned to the crowd.

You Xia said, "You Dong, that card you had just used was pretty amazing. Can I take a look?"

You Dong replied, "Sure... Hmm?" You Dong flipped through the deck, but there was no trace of [Winter Dragon King Sword] in it!

You Dong muttered to himself, "That's strange. How did this card inexplicably enter my deck and then disappear just as inexplicably?"
