"Man! You still won after that? I guess you did a good job." "Aw, thank you! So you can be sweet!" "Hey! I can be nice. By the way, what did Blair tell you?" "She told me to stay calm." He was surprised. "Really? That's it?" "Yep. Let's return, it's time for the next match." They went to the pits. Tai and Luke walked on the stage. "It's final time for us to face off, isn't Luke?" He grinned. "Yeah, but I won't hold back." "It wouldn't be any fun then." "Right. Return to the battlefield and serve again! Samurai's Return, set!" "The blade that will lead us towards the new world! Dream Shooters X, set!" "Raise the flag!" "I fight for Katana World!" "I fight for Dragon World!" "It has started." Blair said. Rosena and Stella agreed.

Luke went first. "Change and draw. I call Fire Streak Gokuen to the left and Blade Tiger Gurenenbu. I have Gurenenbu attack the fighter! I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I call Twin Brutes Dragon to the left, Boomerang Dragon in the center and pay 1 life to call Colichemarde Dragon. Next I cast Dragon Return System. If a monster returns to my hand, I can charge my gauge. Now Twin Brutes attacks Gurenenbu. I use Twin Brutes effect. If it destroy a monster, I can charge my gauge. Colichemarde will attack the fighter and then Boomerang. Boomerang returns to my hand after an attack. Dragon Return System's effect activates. Charge! I end." Score: Luke-5, Tai-5.

"So that's a new deck made?" "Yeah, focuses more on charging gauge." "You need more than just charging gauge. Draw, charge and draw. I equip Ninja Blade Kurogachi. I cast Clear Serenity to put 3 cards into my gauge. I call Bandit Ninja Goemon to the right. I have Gokuen attack Twin Brutes. Then Goemon and I link attack against the fighter. I use it's effect. When it causes damage to an opponent, I can pay 1 gauge to get rid one of their's. Final Phase! I pay 1 gauge to cast Super Lethal Formation. I can cast a Secret Sword impact when I pay it's cost. All my ninjas gain 1000 power and defense. I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I pay 1 gauge to set Green Dragon Knights Song of Ancient Lands. I call Boomerang Dragon to the center. I pay 2 gauge and discard 2 cards from my hand to equip, Gargantua Blade Black Smasher. When it's first equip, I gain 3 life. Boomerang attacks the fighter. I use it's effect and returns to my hand. Dragon Return System's effect activates. Charge!" He raised his hand. "Now I attack!" He brought it down. "Cast! Art of Body Replacement!" "I end." Score: Luke-4, Tai-5.

"You manage to regain life." "You manage to survive my attack." "This will end soon." "Yeah, when I win!" "Draw, charge and draw. Goemon attacks the fighter, then Gokuen attacks, and me!" "Cast! Green Dragon Shield!" "Final Phase! I pay 2 gauge to set 2 Super Lethal Formation!" In the pit, Team Mystic Flame was confused. "Why would he have 3 Formations on the field?" Blair asked. In the other pit, Hallie and Charles knew exactly what he was doing. "He's setting up his plan." Charles said. "Not even Tai can escape this." Hallie said. "I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I call Boomerang Dragon to the center. I gain a life due to Ancient Lands' effect. I cast Dragonic Grimoire. I draw 3 cards. Boomerang attack the fighter." "I pay 3 gauge from Lethal Formation to cast, Secret Sword Morning Star! When a monster attacks me with 3000 power or less, the monster is destroyed and you take 3 damage! Execute!" He struck Tai. "I end." He starts to think to himself. "So you set them up to limit my options. Good plan, but I need to save Heat Edge!" Score: Luke-4, Tai-1.

"Tai, I have a question." "Yeah?" "Can you still use Guardian Break?" He thought about it for a bit. "I don't know. Why do you ask?" "Because of this." A green aura surrounded him. "Unlock the spirit!" His hair and eyes change to a light green. Tai remembered something. It was the same with Aya. Everyone was surprised. "Why Luke? Why are you doing this?" "I'm the last obstacle for you to face. Show me your strength!" "Fine." He put his arm across his chest. "Power from all worlds, lend me your strength. Let me fight to defend! Now, GUARDIAN BREAK!" Everyone stared. Nothing happened. Tai was confused. "Why didn't it work!?!" Luke sighed. "Oh well, if you can't prove your strength, then this is my FINAL TURN!"
