It was your average afternoon in the Loud house. Our white haired protagonist, Lincoln Loud was sitting comfortably on the couch playing a video game like he always did on Friday afternoons. It was at the moment he heard someone ringing at the doorbell. The boy paused his game and opened the door to reveal his girlfriend, Jordan Rosato
"Hey Jordan what's up?" he greeted her.
"Hey babe" she greeted back, running a finger under his chin as she walked in.
"This is a surprise" Lincoln commented as he and Jordan sat on the couch together.
"Yeah, I sort of needed to talk to you about something. It's REALLY important" Jordan told him. Her boyfriend raised a curious eyebrow. "First off, I assume you told our family about us?"
"I was going to but Lori beat me to it. In a family as big as mine, information tends to spread pretty fast" He told her. "Why do you ask?"
Well, I told my parents and… they'd like for you to come over for dinner. Tonight" Jordan informed him, albeit a bit nervously.
"Hey, come on. I know it's a little nerve wrecking, but you're Lincoln Loud. Take it from me, you can do it" Jordan said in a comforting tone, placing a gentle hand upon his cheek
"Yeah, I guess that's true. Ok then, I'm in" he replied in agreement.
"Good. If you don't mess up then my parents should let us date" Jordan added, pulling him in for a quick kiss on his cheek. "See you tonight, babe" she got up from the couch. "Oh, and be sure to dress nice" she added before walking out.
"Oh boy…" Lincoln sighed in defeat.
8:00 PM at the Rosato house…
Lincoln had arrived at the doorstep of the Rosato residence. If he were to be honest, he was extremely nervous right now. If he were a few years older he'd probably be a bit more calm, but no. He was an 11 year old boy who was about to have dinner with his girlfriend's family in order to get their approval to date her. Yeah, he had every reason to be nervous.
Nevertheless, Lincoln took a deep breath, swallowed his pride and rang the doorbell. His nerves somewhat calmed down as the person who answered the door was Jen ( Jordan older sister and Leni best friend)
Hey, linky" Jen greeted the young boy with a smile.
"hey Jen " Lincoln respond
"Hey Lincoln" His girlfriend Jordan greeted, appearing beside her sister, smiling at the sight of her boyfriend.
"Hi sweetheart. You're looking lovely this evening" He commented, noticing she was wearing as usual. "I brought you these" Lincoln handed her a bouquet of roses.
Just like my deck. Come on in" Jordan stepped aside to let her boyfriend
When he got inside, he saw it was a decent sized two story house. It was decorated nicely with a few Hispanic items hanging on the wall. It was actually kind of homey in a south of the border sort of way.
"So, uh, what're we having?" Lincoln asked.
"lasagna" the Rosato siblings said simultaneously. Ok, that helped him perk up a
"Jen, Jordan, is that our guest?" a woman came in from the kitchen.
Mom, this is Leni's brother Lincoln" Jordan introduced her boyfriend to her
"So you're the famous Lincoln Loud we've heard so much about. You're right, honey, he IS handsome" Mrs. Rosato commented playfully.
Jordan face palmed, a red blush of embarrassment creeping across her
Lincoln did his best to hold back a chuckle. It was nice to know that out of the two of them he wasn't the only one with embarrassing family members. It was even nicer to know that his girlfriend thought he was handsome. His laugher would soon die down though, as another person came into the room. It was a huge, muscular white skinned dude with broad shoulders and a brown hair. This must've been Jen and Jordan's father because god damn was he intimidating. The very sight of the guy was enough to make Lincoln shake in shoes.
Jordan sensed his nervousness and held his hand, giving him an encouraging smile. Lincoln looked at her and smiled a bit, her angelic face able to calm his nerves.
"Daddy, this is Lincoln" Jordan now introduced Lincoln to her father.
"It's nice to meet you, sir" Lincoln held out his other hand for Mr. Rosato to shake, which he didn't because all the man did was glare daggers at the boy.
"Let's just get this over with" Mr. Rosato grunted under his breath as the others went to the dinner table.
my god…" Lincoln muttered as he face
"Just sit next to me and you'll be fine" Jordan whispered into his ear before heading to the dinner table herself.
Dinner…
Dinner had gone decently. It would've been better for Lincoln if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Rosato had been glaring it him the whole time.
"So, Lincoln Loud, you wish to date my little girl?" Mr Rosato asked with a serious tone, not easing on the glare he was giving him.
"Y-Yes, sir" the Loud boy replied nervously. Honestly, what more could he say?
"Well, you have my permission, Lincoln. You two make cute couple" Mrs. Santiago said in a supportive tone.
"Oh, and I suppose you wish to marry her as well!" Mr. Rosati shouted, slamming his hands on the table, startling the boy a bit.
"Daddy!" Jordan glared at her father.
"Dad, Lincoln's a good kid. Give him the benefit of the doubt" Jen stated, standing up for her future brother-in-law.
"Jen's right. C'mon, give him a chance" Jordan added, agreeing with her sister.
Mr. Rosato felt his wife place a hand on his arm, a pleading look on her face. Jordan liked Lincoln (obviously), Jen liked Lincoln, their mother liked Lincoln, and all that was left was the father. Mr. Rosato let out a sigh.
"Very well, I shall give you a chance, Lincoln Loud. If…" he began.
"If?" Lincoln tilted his head.
"If you can beat me… in a duel!" Mr. Rosato pointed at him dramatically.
The second he said that, Lincoln's mood had changed. It went from scared and nervous to confident, a smirk growing upon his face. Lincoln wasn't one to back down from a duel and if this meant he got to be with Jordan then so be it. Plus, he could use a good duel.
bring it on Mr. Rosato" Lincoln agreed with confidence, determination in
"Excellent. But this is not the time or the place. We shall duel at 10 AM at the football field near the park. If you win you may date Jordan" Mr. Rosato said. Lincoln nodded in agreement.
"Oh my god!" Jordan, Jen and Mrs. Rosato said in unison as they each face palmed in disbelief.
7:00 PM at the Loud house...
Lincoln sat on his bed with his little sister Lana, going through his deck to prepare himself for his upcoming duel with his girlfriend father. For all he knew, the guy could be an amazing duelist.
"You think your deck's good enough to take this guy on?" Lana asked.
"I hope so, Lana. My future with Jordan depends on me winning this duel" He replied, making sure he had the right cards.
The two siblings then heard a knock at Lincoln's door. They looked up to see their oldest sister Leni.
"Hey Linky, I heard from Jen that you'll have to duel there dad" she said.
"You heard right. He said if I want his approval to date Jordan then I'd have to beat him in a duel" he told her.
Out of all the Loud kids the only ones that dueled were Lincoln himself, Lana and occasionally Lucy. The other siblings would come watch though, depending on which ones were around, that is.
"Good luck with that, little bro. I hope you win. You and Jordan sure do make a cute couple" Lori commented.
"So I've heard" Lincoln smiled with a roll of his eyes. "Tomorrow's the moment of truth. I hope Jordan's dad is ready because I'm going to give this duel everything I've got" Lincoln said in his head, a serious look upon his face.
10 AM at the football field…
Lincoln had arrived at the football field a few minutes before the duel was to start. He was checking his deck one last time.
"Hey Lincoln!" he heard a voice call his name. He turned his head to see his family getting out of Vanzilla. This was a surprising turn of events.
"What're you guys doing here?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, a bit surprised to see ALL of his sisters here. Even his parents were here.
"You didn't think we'd the duel that would your future with Jordan, did you?" Lynn said.
came to cheer you on, bro!" Luna said, throwing the devil horns into the air.
Lincoln chuckled lightly to himself. He knew that some of his sisters might come and watch his duel, but he would've never imagined that ALL of his sisters AND his parents would be there to both watch and support him. Then again, they were a big family and they always supported each other no matter what their hobbies were. In short, it was nice to have his family here.
nice, he's going to need all the support he can get" they all heard a voice.
Lincoln turned around to see his opponent, Mr. Rosato, walking up to him. His family had also arrived, most importantly his girlfriend Jordan who waved at him. Lincoln gave a quick smile to his girlfriend before looking up at her father.
"I hope you're ready to lose, little man" Mr. Rosato said.
"I'm ready, but I won't be losing. You can bet on that" Lincoln replied, a look of confidence and determination in his eyes.
The two families took their seats at the bleachers, ready to watch the duel. Leni sat next to Jen and looked at her
"Is this duel really necessary?" Leni asked her.
"Family tradition. If a guy wants to date a girl in my family they have to duel the girl's father and win in order to get his approval" Jen informed her.
Good luck, Lincoln" Jordan said in her head, mentally cheering her boyfriend
"Alright, this is it!" Lincoln said in his mind. "Duel disk, go!" Lincoln's duel disk transformed on to his arm. "Duel gazer, let's roll!" he put a device that was similar to his scouter over his left eye.
Everyone watching the duel put on their own individual duel gazer (the Loud siblings' duel gazer's are the same color as what they were wearing).
Computer voice: Augmented reality vision link established.
Lincoln: 8000 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 35)
Mr. Rosato: 8000 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 35)
"Let's duel!" both duelists shouted, now ready for battle.
I'll make the first move. I'll start by setting a monster card face down" Mr. Rosato declared, placing a monster in face down defense position. "Next I play one card face down and end my turn" he concluded, placing a card face down in the spell/trap card zone.
Mr. Rosato: 8000 LP (Hand: 3) (Deck: 35)
"I draw!" Lincoln started his turn by drawing his first card.
Lincoln: 8000 LP (Hand: 6) (Deck: 34)
"I start by summoning my Shining Angel!" a man dressed in a blue robe with golden angel wings on his back appeared. (Shining Angel lvl.4 ATK: 1400/DEF: 800)
"Next I place two cards face down" Lincoln placed two cards in the spell/trap card zone. "Now I'll have my angel attack your face down" Shining Angel did as he was instructed and attacked the face down monster in front of it, destroying it.
Lincoln: 8000 LP (Hand: 3) (Deck: 34)
"I activate the effect of my White Stone of Legend. When it's sent to the graveyard I can add a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card from my deck to my hand" Mr. Rosato grabbed a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card to his hand, his deck getting shuffled soon afterwards.
"I end my turn" Lincoln declared.
activate the effect of Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon" Mr. Rosato said.
"Uh-oh…" Jen and Jordan said worriedly in unison.
"By revealing one Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand, I'm allowed to special summon it to the field and its name becomes Blue-Eyes White Dragon" he explained.
A white dragon with blue eyes and glowing veins popping out of its body appeared, letting out a mighty roar. (Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon/Blue-Eyes White Dragon lvl.8 ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500)
"Next I summon Kaibaman to the field" A man dressed in a dragon suit appeared on the field next to the dragon. (Kaibaman lvl.3 ATK: 200/DEF: 700). "But he won't be staying for long. If I activate his special I can tribute him to summon another Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Mr. Rosato
sent his Kaibaman to the grave in order to summon another Blue-Eyes. (Blue-Eyes White Dragon lvl.8 ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500)
"Now I'll activate Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's other ability to destroy your Shining Angel" Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's eyes quickly flashed, causing Lincoln's Shining Angel to scream in pain and be destroyed. "Due to me activating its effect it can't attack this turn" he explained. "However, I still have another Blue-Eyes on the field and I'll use him to attack you directly. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack with white lightning!"
His dragon charged its mouth with bluish white light and shot it at Lincoln.
"Oh no!" Lana shouted.
"I activate the trap card Negate Attack! Now your monster's attack is stopped, meaning my life points are saved" Lincoln said as a small vortex absorbed the monster's attack.
"Not bad, kid. Your move" Mr. Rosato ended his turn.
Mr. Rosato: 8000 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 34)
"Man, if Lincoln didn't have that trap then his life point would've taken a huge hit. He'd better stay on his toes" Lynn commented.
"Don't worry, Lynn, he knows what he's doing. Along with me, he's one of the best duelists in school" Jordan told her. "But Dad's also a skilled duelist. Lynn's right to be concerned" she thought, looking at Lincoln.
Lincoln drew his next card. "I summon Jain, Lightsworn Paladin in attack mode!" Lincoln declared, summoning a white haired female holding a shield and sword while wearing white and gold armor and a cape on her back. (Jain, Lightsworn Paladin lvl.4 ATK: 1800/DEF: 1200). "I end my turn with a face down. And due to Jain's effect, I must discard the top two cards from my deck to my graveyard"
Lincoln discarded two cards from the top of his deck. One of those cards was the equip spell card Lightsworn Sabre.
Since Lightsworn Sabre was sent from my deck to the graveyard, I can equip it to any Lightsworn monster and have it gain 700 attack points" Lincoln explained, equipping the spell card to his paladin, transforming her sword into a lightsaber and increasing its attack points. (Jain, Lightsworn Paladin lvl.4 ATK: 2500/DEF: 1200).
Lincoln: 8000 LP (Hand: 3) (Deck: 31)
It was Mr. Rosato's turn as he drew a card. He let out a light snicker.
"I'm activating the fusion spell, Polymerization to fuse both of my Blue-Eyes in order to summon Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon!" he shouted as the two dragons merged to form a two-headed dragon. (Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon lvl.10 ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500).
"Now I'll have my Twin Burst Dragon attack your Paladin. Go, twin lightning!" both dragon heads shot beams of light at Lincoln's monster, obliterating it completely, causing Lincoln to lose 500 life points.
Lincoln: 8000 – 500 = 7500 LP
"And thanks to its special ability, it attack you for a second time" Mr. Rosato announced.
"It can WHAT?!" Lincoln had a look of shock upon his face.
Lincoln's eyes shrunk to the size of pinpricks as he was hit head on by Twin Burst Dragon's attack, the force being enough to knock him down.
"Lincoln!" his whole family screamed worriedly as he laid there on the ground.
"Lincoln…" Jordan looked at her boyfriend with tears beginning to form in her eyes.
The white haired boy grunted as he slowly got up. He was also breathing heavily. Even though this was all virtual, that attack felt all too real. It was also enough to take HUGE chunk out of his life points.
Lincoln: 7500 – 3000 = 4500 LP (Hand: 3) (Deck: 31)
Mr. Rosato: 8000 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 34)
"I end my turn. Have you had enough yet, boy?" Mr. Rosato asked. Lincoln could only glare at the man. "You're not good enough to beat me and you're not good enough for my daughter. Forfeit while you still can" he suggested.
"That's what you think. I never back out of a duel!" Lincoln said while drawing his next card. "And as for your daughter, I will prove that I am worthy to be her boyfriend" he stated.
"I activate the trap card Glorious Illusion! This allows me to bring back one Lightsworn monster from my graveyard and I choose Jain, Lightsworn Paladin" Lincoln shouted, reviving his paladin from the grave. "But she won't be staying long because I'm sacrificing her in order to bring out Celestia, Lightsworn Angel" a blue haired angel with white wings and armor holding a staff appeared.
(Celestia, Lightsworn Angel lvl.5 ATK: 2300/DEF: 200)
"And when she's summoned to the field I can activate her effect. By sending the top 4 cards of my deck to the graveyard, I can destroy up to two cards on your side of the field" Lincoln explained.
Say what?!" Mr. Rosato went wide-eyed.
"Celestia, destroy his Twin Burst Dragon and his face down" Lincoln commanded. Celestia raised her staff, a bright light golden light shining from it as it destroyed the targeted cards. Jordan's dad grunted in annoyance. "That's not all. The effect of my Wulf, Lightsworn Beast is also activated. When it's sent from the deck to the graveyard I can special summon it to the field" he declared. A wolfman dressed in armor holding an axe and wearing a clawed gauntlet arrived.
(Wulf, Lightsworn Beast lvl.4 ATK: 2100/DEF: 300)
"Now, Lightsworn Beast and Lightsworn Angel, attack Mr. Rosato directly!" Lincoln commanded. Both monsters attacked in unison. Celestia fired a beam of light from her staff while Wulf performed slashes with his axe and gauntlet, dealing a combined total of 4400 points of damage.
Mr. Rosato: 8000 – 4400 = 3600 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 34)
"Yeah! That's how ya do it, bro!" Luna cheered for her brother, a fist a proud
"I'll end my turn with a face down. Your move" Lincoln ended his turn with a face down card in his spell/trap card zone.
Lincoln: 4500 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 27)
Mr. Rosato drew his next card. "I summon Bright Star Dragon from my hand" he summoned a scrawny gold colored dragon with white wings. (Bright Star Dragon lvl.4 ATK: 1900/DEF: 1000) "Next I play the Photon Sanctuary spell card, which allows me to summon two photon tokens" two aqua colored balls of light appeared. (Photon Token(s) lvl.4 ATK: 2000/DEF: 0) "Now I overlay my level 4 Photon Tokens and Bright Star Dragon in order to Xyz summon Number 10: Illumiknight!"
The three monsters turned into auras of light and flew into a dimensional portal. What appeared in their place was a metallic knight with the number 10 on its shoulder, riding a on a metallic horse. (Number 10: Illumiknight Rank 4 ATK: 2400/DEF: 2400)
"Illumiknight, attack Lightsworn Angel! Lightning joust!" Mr. Rosato commanded his monster. Illumiknight's sword lit with blue light as it charged at Lincoln's monster.
"I activate Staunch Defender. When you declare an attack, I can select one monster on my field and you must attack that monster. I choose for you to attack my Lightsworn Beast" Lincoln said.
Illumiknight's attack changed from Lincoln's angel to his beast. Wulf let out a prolonged howl as it was impaled through its stomach, and then destroyed. This caused Lincoln to lose 400 life points.
Lincoln: 4500 – 400 = 4100 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 27)
"By letting his Wulf get destroyed Lincoln took more damage. Why would he do that?" Lola asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Isn't it obvious?" everyone looked at Lucy who was supporting a knowing smirk. "Lincoln let his beast take the blow because it represents him and he didn't let his Angel get destroyed because…" she began the explanation.
It represents Jordan!" Leni concluded.
"I guess Lincoln sacrificing Wulf to protect Celestia is similar to a knight protecting his princess" Jen assumed.
"So if Lincoln's the knight then must think of Ronnie Anne as his princess" Lori guessed.
All the girls, save for Jordan, shrieked in delight. Jordan simply looked at Lincoln, whose determined smile didn't fade. If that were the case then she couldn't help but smile herself, feeling somewhat touched by her boyfriend's action.
"Since I can't do anything else I end my turn"
Mr. Rosato: 3600 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 34)
Lincoln looked at his hand. He had a monster and two monsters. "Minerva, Lightsworn maiden and Felis, Lightsworn Archer. Neither of those cards are of any use to me at the moment. I'll have to wait until I draw something that'll help me out" Lincoln thought to himself. "I end my turn" he said.
Lincoln: 4100 LP (Hand: 2) (Deck: 27)
Mr. Rosato drew a card from his deck. "I activate the spell card Return of the Dragon Lords. With this, I can special summon a level 7 or level 8 from my graveyard. Come on back, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" he shouted, a purple portal opened from the ground resurrecting the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. (Blue-Eyes White Dragon lvl.8 ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500)
"Now, Illumiknight, attack his Lightsworn Angel!" he commanded. Illumiknight once again charged at Celestia.
"Not so fast! I activate my face down, Lightsworn Barrier. By sending two cards from the top my deck to the graveyard, your attack is negated and Angel is safe from destruction" Lincoln activated the effect of his card. A crystal barrier formed around Celestia, repelling Illumiknight's attack.
If I attack with Blue-Eyes then he'll just use his trap card to negate the attack…" Mr. Rosato thought in his head. "I'll end my turn. Your move, boy"
Mr. Rosato: 3600 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 33)
Lincoln: 4100 LP (Hand: 2) (Deck: 25)
It was now Lincoln's turn, the card was something that might help later. "I set a monster card face down in defense position and end my turn" he declared, playing a monster face down.
"I draw" Mr. Rosato drew from his deck. "I activate the spell card Mystical Cards of Light. At the cost of not being able to use one of my spell and trap card zones, I'm allowed to draw two cards during my draw phase instead of one" he informed Lincoln. "Now I use Illumiknight to attack your face down"
Illumiknight performed a slashing motion at the face down monster, destroying
"I activate Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter's special ability. When this card is flipped face up, I can destroy one of your monsters and I think I'll go for your Dragon" Lincoln pointed at Blue-Eyes.
"You'd be right… if I didn't activate Return of the Dragon Lord's other effect from the grave. When the Dragon-Type monster I special summoned would be destroyed by battle of by card effect, I can banish Return of the Dragon Lord from the grave instead" Mr. Rosato replied.
"Damn! And I still have to follow my Lightsworn's other ability" Lincoln thought while clenching his teeth. "Due to my Lightsworn's effect, I must send the top three cards from my deck to the graveyard" Lincoln said.
"Then I guess it's your turn, Lincoln" Mr. Rosato said.
Mr. Rosato: 3600 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 32)
Lincoln: 4100 LP (Hand: 2) (Deck: 22)
"Draw!" Lincoln drew a card. "I'm activating Charge of the Light Brigade! By sending the top three cards from my deck to the graveyard, I can add one level 4 or lower Lightsworn monster
from my deck to my hand" Lincoln informed. He then sent three cards from his deck to the grave and drew one monster. "Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner. Perfect!" a smirk grew upon his face. "I summon Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner to the field"
A dark skinned, blonde haired woman wearing a white dress and gold armbands appeared on the field. (Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner lvl.3 ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000)
"Now I'll activate her effect. By discarding one card from my hand, I can special summon a level 4 or lower Lightsworn monster from my graveyard" Lincoln said, sending Felis, Lightsworn Archer from his hand to the graveyard. "Now, from my graveyard, I special summon Felis, Lightsworn Archer!" he declared.
A purple portal opened from the ground and resurrected a human/cat hybrid from the graveyard. (Felis, Lightsworn Archer lvl. 4 ATK: 1100/DEF: 2000)
"And now my Archer is going to give my Summoner a little tune-up. I tune my level 4 Lightsworn Archer with my level 3 Lightsworn Summoner to Syncro summon Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn!"
The clouds above formed a circle as a bright golden light crashed down behind Lincoln. When the light dissipated, it revealed an angel with golden armor and golden armored wings wielding a golden sword riding on the head of a giant white feathered dragon with red eyes. (Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000)
That's one of Lincoln's best cards" Lana said out loud, a smile across
"I activate Michael's effect. By paying 1000 life points, I can banish one card on the field and I choose your Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Lincoln point at the dragon in question.
Paying 1000 life points, Lincoln's monster activated it special ability. Charging its sword with a green light and fired at Blue-Eyes, sending it to the banished zone.
"Arch-Lightsworn, destroy Number 10: Illumiknight!" Lincoln commanded. Michael leapt from the top of its dragon and with a powerful slash, destroyed Illumiknight in an explosion of light right before heading back to the top of its dragon's head. This caused Mr. Rosato 200 points of damage.
Mr. Rosato: 3600 – 200 = 3400 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 32)
"I end my turn. And when I end my turn I send the top three cards from my deck to my graveyard" Lincoln explained.
Lincoln: 3100 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 15)
"If Lincoln keeps getting rid of his cards like that, he'll lose the duel. If losing his life point doesn't finish him, losing all of the cards in his deck will" Lola commented.
"Mystical Cards of Light's effect activates. During my draw phase I can draw two cards instead of one" Mr. Rosato drew two cards. "From my hand I activate Different Dimension Reincarnation! By discarding a card from my hand I can special summon one of my banished monsters to the field. Come back Blue-Eyes White Dragon"
A green portal opened up and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon emerged.
"That's not all. Since The Fabled Catsith was discard and sent to the graveyard, one of your face up cards is destroyed, and I choose your Lightsworn Barrier" A spirit version of Catsith appeared and flashed its eyes, destroying Lincoln's trap card. "With that out of the way your monsters a vulnerable. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, destroy Arch-Lightsworn with white lightning!"
Blue-Eyes roared and fired its attack at Lincoln's monster, which screamed as it was destroyed in an explosion. Lincoln lost 400 life points.
Lincoln: 3100 – 400 = 2700 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 15)
Michael's other effect is activated. When it gets destroyed, I can return any number of Lightsworn monsters from my graveyard to my deck and gain 300 life points for each" Lincoln explained. "I return 14 of my Lightsworn monsters from my grave to my deck and gain 3200 life points" he declared. All 14 cards returned to his deck and were shuffled, giving him 3200 attack points in the process.
Lincoln: 2700 3200 = 5900 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 29)
"That's using your head" Lynn commented
"But without his Lightsworn Barrier Lincoln's got nothing to protect his Angel with. Blue-Eyes will literally deal some serious damage" Lori added.
Mr. Rosato: 3400 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 30)
Lincoln drew his next card. "I set two cards face down and end my turn" Lincoln placed two cards face down in the spell/trap card zone.
Lincoln: 5900 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 28)
"Mystic Cards of Light activates and I draw two cards" Mr. Rosato said while drawing. "From my hand I activate the spell card Burst stream of Destruction to destroy all monsters on your side of the field" he added. Lincoln's eyes widened as Blue-Eyes fired a beam the disintegrated all of him monsters. "Next I summon the White Stone of Legend from my hand and use it to give my
a tune-up" both monsters vanished. "Since White Stone of Legend was sent to the graveyard, I can send one Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to my hand" he said, adding said card.
"Say hello to Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!" A silver colored dragon with azure colored eyes appeared. (Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon lvl.9 ATK: 2500/DEF: 3000)
"Now I activate its effect. I special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the field" He used his monster to bring back the dragon that was used to Syncro summon it. "Because I activated Burst Stream of Destruction my Blue-Eyes can't attack. However, my Azure-Eyes is more than free to do so" he declared. "Azure-Eyes, attack Lincoln directly with silver plasma!" Azure-Eyes attacked with a beam of silver light. Lincoln lost 2500 life points
Lincoln: 5900 – 2500 = 3400 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 28)
"I end my turn" he said.
Mr. Rosato: 3400 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 28)
Lincoln drew his next card. The card he drew wasn't much, but it might be enough to save him next turn.
"I end my turn" he said.
Lincoln: 3400 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 27)
It was now Mr. Rosato's turn. Like before, he drew two cards due to his spell's effect. "I activate Dragon's Mirror from my hand. By banishing the fusion materials from the field or graveyard I can special summon a fusion monster from my extra deck" he explained. "I banish Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my field, Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my graveyard and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon – since its name becomes Blue-Eyes White Dragon when it's on the field and in the grave – to fusion summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
The three dragons merged to form a three-headed Blue-Eyes White Dragon. (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon lvl.12 ATK: 4500/DEF: 3800)
"And there's dad's best monster" Jen said.
"I had a feeling he'd save that monster for last. He probably planned for Lincoln's field to be free of monsters so he could take out the rest of his life points" Jordan added.
"Wow, your dad must really not want you two to date each other" Lynn glanced at her brother's girlfriend.dragon
"As I said before, you're not good enough to defeat, nor are you good enough for my daughter. Still though, this was fun while it lasted. But now I must end this" Mr. Rosato said with a serious glare. "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, wipe out the rest of life points and end this duel. Ultimate white lightning!" he commanded his dragon. His monster fired a triple beam attack.
"And as I said, I never back out of a duel and that I am worthy of her" Lincoln replied with a glare of his own. "This duel isn't over yet because I activate the effect of Battle Fader. You see, when you declare a direct attack I can special summon and the battle phase ends" Lincoln said, summoning the monster in defense position. (Battle Fader lvl.1 ATK: 0/DEF: 0)
Your move. Though it will be your last" Mr. Rosato said mockingly.
Mr. Rosato: 3400 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 27)
Lincoln drew his next card. Lincoln's eyes widened and smirk spread across his face. "Well, what do you know?" he chuckled to himself.
[Flashback]
"I can't believe our future depends on you beating my dad in a duel" Jordan said as she Lincoln rode in her mom's car, her Mother offering to take the white haired boy home.
know, but there's no other way around it. Besides, I could use a good duel"
"I wouldn't take this so lightly, dude. My old man is actually a pretty good duelist himself" Jen said while watching the road.
"He's right, Lincoln. Where do you think I learned to duel?" Jordan said.
"Yeah, and you're one tough duelist. My deck should be up for the challenge though" he replied with a smile.
"But just in case it's not, take this" Jordan handed him a card.
"Gift of the Martyr?" He read the card out loud with a raised eyebrow.
"I might come in handy. Think of it as having a part of me in your deck" she told him
"Thanks. If I ever draw this card, I'll be sure to use it" he said with a nod of his head.
[End of Flashback]
Lincoln look towards Jordan with a confident smirk and nodded in confirmation. She knew exactly what that meant.
must've drawn my card" Jordan thought with a smile, nodding back to Lincoln.
"You were right, Mr. Rosato, it IS time to end this duel. But the only one ending it will be me because I activate, not one, but Glorious Illusions. So now I can special summon two Lightsworn monsters from my graveyard and I choose Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn and Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon" both monster's resurrected from the graveyard.
(Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn lvl.7 ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000)
(Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon lvl.6 ATK: 2000/DEF: 1600)
"Gragonith's effect activates. It gains 300 attack and defense points for every Lightsworn monster with a different name in my graveyard" Lincoln explained.
(Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon lvl.6 ATK: 4100/DEF: 3700)
"Now I activate my Arch-Lightsworn's special ability. I pay 1000 life points to banish your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon"
Lincoln: 3400 – 1000 = 2400 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 27)
Michael's sword fired a green beam from its sword and fired it at Blue-Eyes Ultimate, banishing it from the field.
"Y-You…" Mr. Rosato clenched his teeth with annoyance.
"Lincoln's got Mr. Rosato right where he wants him" Lana commented.
"Come on…" Jordan smiled at Lincoln, knowing just who was about to win this
"I activate Gift of the Martyr. I tribute my Lightsworn Dragon and give its attack points to Arch-Lightsworn" Lincoln said. Gragonith transformed into an astral spirit was absorbed into Michael's sword, increasing its attack power.
(Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn lvl.7 ATK: 6700/DEF: 2000)
"Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn destroy Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon and end this duel" Lincoln commanded. Mr. Rosato gasped. "Go, celestial prism strike!"
Michael extended its as it charged its sword with a bright golden light, and then preformed three slashing motions in the form of at triangle, striking Azure-Eyes across its chest which caused it to explode in a flash of light, enough to send Mr.
Rosato flying and land square on his back, wiping out the rest of life points, ending the duel.
Mr. Rosato: 3400 – 4200 = 0 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 27)
Lincoln: 2400 LP (Hand: 0) (Deck: 26)
WINNER:Lincoln
"I did it. I actually did it…" Lincoln was a loss for words. He had actually managed to beat Jordan's father in a duel.
YOU DID IT!" Jordan said happily as she and Lincoln's family walked to
that your way of saying you're proud of me?" Lincoln raised an eyebrow with
"No. This is" Jordan wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a big hug. Lincoln accepted by wrapping his arms around her waist. Both of them held each other close, almost as if they didn't want to let go of each other.
"Lincoln Loud" they heard a voice. The couple turned to see Jordan's father walking up to them. The man held out his hand. "Good game. I was wrong about you. Perhaps you are good enough for Jordan after all"
"Thank you, sir" the white boy reached out and shook his hand.
"Does this mean…?" Jordan began to ask.
"Yes. Lincoln, you have my approval to date my daughter" Mr. Rosato nodded.
"Alright!" the two kids hugged again in joy.
"Just remember that I'll be keeping my eye on you" he added.
Jordan rolled her eyes and pulled her boyfriend in for a deep, passionate kiss. She even lifted her leg up, enjoying the moment. Victory was sweet; this duel was definitely worth it.
