The morning sun shone brightly over Neo Domino City as Blue sat with Jack and Lily at the small diner, eating fried rice and sharing a quiet moment. Suddenly, Lily approached with a confident smile, her Duel Disk already on her arm.
"Jack," she said smoothly, "I hear you're looking for a challenge. I want to test your skills. I challenge *you*."
Jack shook his head. "No thanks. I've got other plans."
Lily's gaze narrowed. She stepped closer, eyes gleaming.
"Come on, Jack. If you're too scared, I'll take him instead."
Blue looked surprised but nodded quietly. Jack hesitated, then sighed.
"Fine. Let's do this—just a friendly duel."
Blue's heart pounded as Lily drew her opening hand from her Synchro deck—an unfamiliar but powerful deck that focused on summoning high-ATK Synchro monsters.

Life Points: 8000 vs. 8000
Blue's Opening Hand:
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon"

Life Points: 8000 | 8000

Activates "Junk Synchron," targeting "Junk Synchron" itself for a Special Summon from the Graveyard (assuming she has a discardable Junk monster).
Special Summons "Junk Synchron" in Attack Mode.
Normal Summons "Quick Draw Synchron", also in Attack Position.
Declares a Synchro Summon:
Using "Junk Synchron" (ATK 1300) and "Quick Draw Synchron" (ATK 1400), she Synchro Summons "Stardust Dragon" (ATK 2500).
She ends her turn.
Turn 2: Blue
Blue draws.
Summons "Dark Magician" in Attack Mode.

She ends her turn.
Turn 3: Blue
Blue draws.
Summons "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in Attack Position.
Sets "Monster Reborn" face-down.
Ends his turn.
Turn 3: Lily
Lily draws.
She activates "Monster Reborn," reviving "Junk Synchron" from her Graveyard, Special Summoning it in Attack Mode.
Declares a Synchro Summon with "Junk Synchron" and "Black Rose Dragon" to summon "Stardust Dragon" again or "Goyo Guardian" (assuming she has the right materials, but for simplicity, she makes a powerful move).
She then activates "Formula Synchron," drawing two cards and drawing into "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (if in her deck).
She declares her ultimate move:
"Now, I'll summon my ace—"Ultimate Synchro Monster,"* a custom card inspired by the anime, called *'Cosmic Overlord'* (a placeholder for a huge, high-ATK monster).*
Note: In the anime, some Synchro monsters reach absurd ATK values through special effects or lore-based summoning. Here, I will now describe the epic summon:
Using "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (ATK 3000), "Stardust Dragon" (2500), and "Goyo Gaurdian" (2200), Lily performs a Synchro Summon of a monster with 100,000 ATK—a custom, narrative-driven monster called "Celestial Tyrant, Omega Overlord."
The Epic Clash
"Celestial Tyrant, Omega Overlord" (100,000 ATK)
Lily's LP: 8000
Blue's LP: 8000
Lily declares attack with her **"Omega Overlord."
The monster's attack triggers an effect: "When this card attacks, it destroys all monsters on the opponent's field."
Blue's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Dark Magician" are obliterated instantly, with no chance to respond.
Damage: Blue takes 100,000 damage—far exceeding his remaining LP.
Blue's LP: 8000 → 0
Aftermath
Blue stands stunned as Lily's monster dissolves into cosmic energy, leaving behind a faint glow.
Jack walks over, watching quietly.
"That's the power of a true Synchro master," he says softly.
Blue, exhausted but composed, looks at his cards scattered on the table. He's lost decisively, but the duel has ignited a new fire within him.
"Good duel," Lily says, offering a respectful nod. "You've got potential. Keep practicing."
Blue nods slowly, realizing that in this world, strength comes from understanding and skill—both of which he still has a lot to learn.
