"OOOOkay, for the next match from Team Explorers of Mystery its Eru Carranza and for Team Honorus Magus Draconum its Ishin Muramasu" The organiser declared

Ishin walked on the stage and approached the fighting area and his opponent who was a boy wearing a karate Gi with a V on the right side, and a head band to hold up his brown spiked hair walked on the fighting area opposite Ishin.

"Well then time for my powerful ninja deck to bring me victory in this battle" Eru said boastfully grabbing his violet core deck case

"Don't underestimate the power of the samurai" Ishin commented grabbing his dark blue core deck case

"Alright fighters please luminize" The organiser asked

"The mighty assassins! Silent like the night! Luminize! Ninjutsu Art of Victory Star!"

Eru's violet core deck case became a katana.

"Gather now! Proud and honourable warriors! Luminize! Devoted Warriors!"

Ishin's core deck case became the usual samurai gauntlet.

"Alright fighters, buddy" The organiser started

"FIGHT" Everyone in the stands finished

"Time to raise the flag" Both fighters yelled

"Katana World" Eru announced

"I also fight for Katana World" Ishin announced

"Well, well looks like we have another mirror match on our hands" The organiser stated

"Time to bring you down and lead my team to victory" Eru commented

'Why is a guy like this using Katana World' Ishin thought

"Well you better make sure your head doesn't get too big there" Ishin commented

"I'll make you regret saying that" Eru yelled

"Charge and draw"

"I start off by paying 1 gauge to buddy call Agent Ninja, Linzo to the center"

"I hide in the night and strike with my blade"

"Starting with a buddy call right off the bat" Jessie stated

"Yeah, its obvious he wants the Lethal Formation card as soon as possible" Yudai stated

"With his ability I add Secret Sword, Lethal Formation to my hand and shuffle my deck, now Linzo will attack"

"Victory Slash"

"Final Phase! Set Secret Sword Lethal Formation!"

An orb formed in front of me and 6 spheres spun around the large orb and I grabbed 1 to hold a scroll and I placed the scroll in the large orb.

"End of Move"

"Draw, charge and draw"

"I equip Phantom Blade, Yami"

A purple katana that looks transparent encased in a darkness aura appeared in my hand.

"I call Spirit Samurai to the right and Thunder Samurai, Raigeki to the left"

"Using Spirit Samurai's ability I place it in Yami's soul, next using Raigeki's ability I deal you 1 damage since I have a Samurai item equipped"

"Discharge Cutter"

"Finally I call Six-Tailed Fox Samurai to the right, Raigeki and I will link attack Linzo, Phantom Blade, Yami!"

"Voltic Slash"

"Fox Samurai attack the fighter"

"Kyuubi Flame"

"With the effect of Fox Samurai when it deals damage against the fighter you're forced to discard a card in your hand"

"ARGH, those samurai's are so annoying" Eru said in anger

"Hmm, as the saying goes a dogs bark is worst then its bite" Ishin taunted

"Why you..."

"Paying 1 gauge I equip Five Heavenly Swords, Onimaru"

A katana appeared in my hands incased in green energy.

"Placing the top 2 cards of my deck into its soul I pay 1 gauge and call Electric Speed Ninja, Inazuma to the left and I cast Hidden Secret Sword, "Cloud Billow" placing the top 2 cards of my deck to the gauge then I place my Secret Sword, Comet from the drop zone back to the deck and shuffle, Inazuma attack the fighter"

"Your Move"

"Your plan is clear to me now"

"Oh yeah smart guy what's that?" Eru asked smugly

"Your plan was to use the Secret Sword, Shooting Star to beat me since the Samurai's focus around items, but I can deal with you without the use of my item" Ishin explained

"So what I'd like to see you try"

'Crap he figured out my plan'

"I call Left-Hand Swordsman,Irukamaru to the center and buddy call to the left Right-Hand Swordsman, Yamigitsune"

"I'm always prepared to use my sword to strike you down"

"I activate Yamigitsune's ability paying 1 gauge you discard 1 card"

"Crescent Slash"

"Now its time to combine the powers of the left and right hand swordsman to create a new more powerful being, I pay 2 gauge and call to the left Dual-Wielding Swordsman,Diagomaru"

At that moment Yamigitsune and Irukamaru jumped into the air and linked their swords and transformed into a new more powerful monster wielding two katana.

"I am the mighty duel-wielding swordsman of the samurai, Diagomaru"

"Sweet Ishin got a new card" Masayo said in awe

"Obviously he got it to catch up with us" Greg said with a grin

"I think you mean Masayo" Charlotte corrected

"Well anyway lets see what this new card of his can do" Tai stated

"With Soulguard Diagomaru comes back"

"Diagomaru attack the fighter"

"Aqua Revolution"

"Double Attack"

"Crescent Moon Cross"

"Game Over, Winner Ishin Muramasu"

"What a victory folks, Ishin decimates his opponent with a flurry of discard skills and figuring out his opponents plan, with that the teams are tied at 1 victory each" The organiser announced

"Well that was a good fight to show off my new card" Ishin said as he walked away

"Damn it all" Eru said walking away

Ishin had walked back to the dug-out with Yudai ready to go.

"Good luck with your match Yudai" Ishin said as he took his seat

"Yeah, I won't let your win go to waste" Yudai said approaching the door
