Yuya recovered and got ready to draw from his Deck, while Lawton asked, "Do you really want to keep embarrassing yourself?"
The young Duelist just grunted and drew his card:
Yuya Turn 6: Yuya Pendulum Summons Performapal Drop Gallop (800/1200) in Defensive mode. As Drop Gallop was Pendulum Summoned, Yuya activates its effect, which lets him draw cards equal to the number of Performapal monsters Pendulum Summoned at the same time, in this case, one.
Lawton laughed and drew his card, "Like I said, embarrassing."
Yuya just told him, "There's more to my cards than meet the eye."
Lawton Turn 7: Big Cannon Ogre attacks and destroys Drop Gallop. Lawton sets a card.
Yuya Turn 8: Yuya Pendulum Summons Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) from his hand in Attack mode. Odd-Eyes attacks Big Cannon Ogre, but Lawton activates his face down Back Attack Ambush to end the Battle Phase and Special Summon a one Ambush Token (100/100) for each Attack mode monster Yuya controls for all in Defensive mode.
Lawton began to think, "My card has another effect, I can choose to destroy the Token I just summoned to deal 500 points of damage to Yuya. However, it won't be enough to wipe him out and if I don't get a good card next round then next turn my Ogre's in trouble." He smirked, "Well, best to save some ammo in case I need it later."
Yuya Turn 8: Yuya sets a card.
Now Yuya thought with distress, "Dang it. I hope Shay's having better luck than me right now."
Over with Shay, Zigfried was just finishing up his turn, "I must say. You're in such a dire state and you show no concern. Are you just trying to be cool?"
Shay simply said with an uncaring voice, "No. I just don't get concerned when I'm facing weaklings."
Gritting his teeth, Zigfried replied, "You'll regret saying that."
Zigfried Turn 4: Zigfried sets a card.
Shay Turn 5: Due to the effect of Nibelung's Ring, Shay draws two cards (Raidraptor - Avenge Vulture and Raidraptor - Sanctuary) instead of conducting a normal draw. He discards Avenge Vulture. Shay activates Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force, Ranking Up Blaze Falcon, and performing an Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon (2000/3000) in Attack mode. Revolution Falcon attacks directly, but Zigfried activates his face down Loge's Flame. Now any monsters with 2000 ATK or less can't attack.
Zigfried smugly said, "Like I said, regret."
Back up in space, the battle raged. Ahsoka led two Arc Fighters and three Y-Wings towards a Separatist Cruiser. The Republic forces fired at the Cruiser, which fired back, taking out the Y-Wing in the back. Then Ahsoka and the two Arc Fighters rushed in and delivered several powerful laser blasts at the bridge of the Cruiser, destroying it and allowing the two Y-Wings to go in and hit the center of the Cruiser with bombs, destroying that portion as well. After these strikes, the entire ship soon exploded.
In another area, five Vulture Droids approached one of the Republic Cruisers and started firing at it, with the Cruiser returning fire with its cannons. The Vulture Droids spun around to dodge, but one was hit, losing its left wing and spinning out of control, until crashing into the base of the Cruiser and exploding.
Anakin was being pursued by three Tri-Droid Fighters in another part of the battle. The Droids fired at him, but he spun around to dodge. He then made a swerve to the left, going under a Separatist Cruiser's hull, with the Droids following. Seeing three more Tri-Droids coming on his right, Anakin smirked and increased his speed, causing the two groups of Droids to crash into each other and explode. Just then, the voice of Rex came over the com and said, "Sir, Fives, and Jesse just contacted us. They won't last much longer."
Anakin replied, "Got it." He pressed another button and switched channels, "Master Plo, our friends on the ground need some aerial support."
Plo told him, "I'm on it." He too contacted someone else, "Warthog, Odd-Ball, Hawk, form up behind me."
Two Arc Fighters and a Y-Wing joined Plo's Jedi Fighter, with Hawk saying, "We've got your back, general."
Warthog added, "And so do our boys." More Arc Fighters and Y-Wings joined them, as the group headed to the planet. While the Republic forces continued to bombard the Separatists.
Onboard the remaining Separatist Dreadnought, the Tactical Droid reported to Grevious and Team Rocket, "My lords, we are suffering heavy losses."
Grievous grunted, "We're outgunned. Retreat!"
Meowth added, "A strategy we're very good at."
The three remaining Separatist's crafts made an about-face, with the remaining Droid fighters docking in before they jumped to Hyperspace.
Back on said planet, the Republic forces were being overwhelmed, with Celina's Panther Dancer and Zuzu's Bloom Diva being blown up by Tanks. The actual Duels two of our heroes were still in weren't going much better.
Yuya vs Lawton:
Lawton Turn 9: Lawton Tributes his Big Cannon Ogre and Ambush Token in order to Tribute Summon Blaster Ogre (0/3000) in Defensive mode. Lawton activates the effect of Blaster Ogre which would destroy Yuya's Odd-Eyes and inflict damage to Yuya equal to half the attack of Odd-Eyes, but since Yuya controls only one monster and no other cards in his Spell & Trap Card Zones, he activates his face down Wings of Misdirection, which allows him to increase the attack of a monster he controls by 800, and negate the effects of all cards Lawton controls until the End Phase. Yuya targets Odd-Eyes for this effect (2500 -> 3300). Lawton ends his turn.
Lawton gritted his teeth, "Alright. You're really starting to get on my nerves now."
Shay was having just as much trouble.
Shay vs Zigfried:
Zigfried Turn 6: Zigfried activates Pot of Greed to draw two cards. He then activates the effect of Goddess Skuld's Oracle to look at the top three cards of Shay's Deck (Raidraptor - Singing Lanius, Raidraptor - Singing Lanius and Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius). Zigfried tells Shay to place Fuzzy Lanius on top and he does so. Zigfried then activates the effect of Goddess Verdande's Guidance and guesses that Shay's top card is a Monster Card. He is correct, so Shay Special Summons Fuzzy Lanius in face down Defensive mode. Zigfried then activates the effect of Goddess Urd's Verdict to target Shay's face down card and guesses that the card is Fuzzy Lanius. He is correct, so Fuzzy Lanius is Banished. Zigfried activates Gryphon's Feather Duster to destroy all Spell and Trap Cards he controls and gain 500 LP for each Spell and Trap Card destroyed this way. Four are destroyed (Zigfried LP: 2000 -> 4000). He then activates Final Light to pay 2000 LP (Zigfried LP: 4000 -> 2000), Special Summon two LIGHT monster from his GY and allow Shay to Special Summon two monster with 2000 or less attack from his GY. Zigfried Special Summons Valkyrie Erste and Valkyrie Dritte both in Defensive mode while Shay Special Summons Vanish Lanius and Retrofit Lanius both in Defensive mode. Due to the effect of Valkyrie Dritte, it gains 100 attack for each opponent's monster that is Banished (1000 -> 1200). Zigfried activates the effect of Valkyrie Erste, Banishing the Rise Falcon in Shay's GY from and changing the attack of Erste to the attack of Rise Falcon until the End Phase (Erste: 1600 -> 100; Dritte: 1200 ->1300). Zigfried Tributes Erste and Dritte to Tribute Summon Valkyrie Brunhilde (1800/2000) in Attack mode. Zigfried activates Enchanted Sword Nothung, equipping it to Valkyrie Brunhilde and increasing its attack by 400 (1800 -> 2200). He then activates Rainbow Bridge Bifrost to target Valkyrie Brunhilde and increase its attack by 500 for each of Shay's monsters that are currently Banished until the End Phase. There are currently three monsters in Shay's Banished Zone (2200 -> 3700). Valkyrie Brunhilde attacks and destroys Revolution Falcon (Shay LP: 3400 -> 1700).
Over by the barricade base, most of the barricades had been blown apart, with Tank, Heffalump, and Wozzle firing coming all around. One-shot from a Tank blew up a 212th Clone manning a Repeating Blaster. The remaining Clones started falling back and regrouped, forming a circle around the injured Clones, Duelists, members of the Humane 7, and the stuffed animals. As the enemy began to close in, the Clones kept filing and everyone was shouting all kinds of things:
One 501st said, "We're being overrun."
A 212th jumped in, "Make every shot count."
Boil shouted from on top of his AT-RT, "There's too many of them."
Fluttershy utter, "We've been pinned down for hours, with no reinforcements."
Rabbit began to panic, run around, and shouted, "They're everywhere! Run for your lives!"
Tigger joined him and said, "It's horribble. We're outnumbered ten gazillion to one."
A 501st Clone using a Gatling gun shouted, "Give it all you got it!"
Just as the enemy forces closed in, Trapper shouted and pointed up, "The reinforcements have arrived."
The group looked up to see Plo's troops coming in, with the Jedi, Warthog, Hawk, and the other Arc Fighters blasting away some Heffalumps and Woozles. Then Odd-Ball and the other Y-Wings swooped in and used their bombs to blow up all the Separatist Tanks. All the Clones and other allies let out a great cheer, with Jesse saying, "Good old Odd-Ball. Always on time."
Fives then shouted, "Advance now!"
The none injured Clones rushed ahead firing, with them shouting, "Up to the front!" They shot down several Heffalumps and Woozle survivors, while their vision was still impaired by the smoke. When the smoke cleared, they aimed their blasters at the remaining Heffalumps and Woozles, which included Heff and five other Heffalumps, and Stam and three other Woozles. They all dropped their weapons and put their hands up, as the Clones took them into custody.
Over with the Duels they were finishing up to:
Yuya vs Lawton:
Yuya Turn 10: Yuya Pendulum Summon Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer (1500/800) in Attack mode. As it was Special Summoned, Yuya activates Sorcerer's effect to destroy Xiangsheng Magician and Xiangke Magician and add two Performapal monsters to his hand. He adds Performapal Monkeyboard and Performapal Guitartle. He activates Monkeyboard (PS 1) and Guitartle (PS 6) in his Pendulum Zones. Since Yuya has a card in his other Pendulum Zone, he activates the Pendulum Effect of Guitartle, which allows him to draw a card. Yuya draws Monster Reborn and activates it to Special Summon Dark Rebellion from his GY in Attack mode. Yuya then activates the effect of the Wings of Misdirection in his GY, letting him banish it and two cards he controls to increase the attack of a monster he controls by 800 and negate the effects of all cards his opponent controls. He banishes Wings of Misdirection, Monkeyboard, and Guitartle to increase the attack of Odd-Eyes (2500 -> 3300). Odd-Eyes attacks and destroys Blaster Orge. Dark Rebellion and Sorcerer attack directly (Lawton LP: 2800 -> 0). Yuya wins.
Shay vs Zigfried:
Shay Turn 7: Shay Normal Summons Shining Lanius (100/1800) in Attack mode. As he controls three or more Raidraptor monsters, Shay activates Raidraptor - Sanctuary, letting him draw two cards. He then activates Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force by paying half of his LP (Shay LP: 1700 -> 850), allowing him to Special Summon a Raidraptor Xyz Monster from his Gy, then Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster whose Rank is two Ranks higher than that of the Summoned monster, by using that monster as the Overlay Unit. He Special Summons Revolution Falcon and performs a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Summon Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon (3000/2000) in Attack mode. Shay activates Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force, letting him Rank-Up an Xyz Monster into a Raidraptor monster that is 2 Ranks higher. He Ranks Up Satellite Cannon Falcon and performs a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon (3500/2000) in Attack mode. Shay then activates Raidraptor - Ultimate Mace and equips it to Ultimate Falcon, increasing its attack by 1000 (3500 -> 4500). Shay activates the effect of Ultimate Falcon, detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the effects of all face up cards his opponent controls until the end of this turn and reduce the attack of all monsters his opponent controls by 1000 (Brunhilda: 2200 -> 800). Ultimate Falcon attacks and destroys Brunhilda (Zigfried LP: 2000 -> 0). Shay wins.
As both Separatists Duelists were blasted to the ground and knocked out, Yuya and Shay both smiled and high-fived. The others looked on happily, with Zuzu saying, "It looks like the Battle for Earth is over."
Human Pinkie jumped for joy, "And we won!"
Pooh added, "I'm so glad."
As he recovered, Tigger asked, "So does this mean we're not going to a big Separatist prison planet?"
Piglet hugged him and got out, "Or even a very small one?"
Eeyore got up and said, "I'd like to just go back to my own place, not that it's much of one."
Sometime later, several more 501st, 212th, and Wolf Pack Clone Troopers were on the planet helping the wounded and checking the equipment, alongside the Jedi generals, Pokemon trainers, and Ponies now back in Human form on Earth. Fives reported to Rex, "Well sir, we protected the planet."
Rex nodded, "Good job, boys. Although, I did wish we could have actually used the forces sent here to help Equestria too."
Anakin added solemnly, "We all do."
Princess Twilight came forward and said, "It's alright. At least our friends on Earth are safe and that's good. I just hope we can help Equestria."
Sunset put a hand on her shoulder, comfortingly, "Don't worry. We will help save Equestria somehow."
Ash joined in, "That's what friends are for."
Princess Twilight smiled at them, "Thank you."
Fives then told them, "Don't worry guys, because I know one day this war will end."
Trapper, while being helped up by Boil, then said, "Let's just hope that the Republic is the side that's still standing and that peace has been returned to the galaxy."
Obi-Wan finished up, "That's all we can hope for."
