The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

'well, winning the Dueling Tournament provides not only great prestige, you gain a title out of it as well. So while its supposed to be fun, many duelists only care about winning.' He Shook his head, as a duel wrapped up neaerby. The winning duelist came up to him. "Sire, my name is Gregory. I Defeated linus and I'm in bracket C." ThAnk you Gregory" Stripetail taking out a piece of paper and writing down Gregory and Linus's names and the scores. "Congrations You're in thr Bracket C finals, and you will play either Roger or Wayne Para" Gregory flinched but only briefly. "I Hope Roger wins then. I'll have a better chance against him than PPara" He Shrugged. "But if I play Para, I'll give it my best shot, and who knows I might get lucky." He Smiled At Eva And Walked away. STripetail smiled. "Not all duelists are freaked out to play Wayne, Eva, just some."
_ Tarrax Popped a sweet in his mouth. 'Start timing " He said"

Iris Smiled as Eva Came up to her. "Hi I'm Iris. You must be Eva. I've heard a lot about you from my sister who's in your year. She tells me you're one the best female duelists to come to Sowarkard in centuries. " She shook paws with Eva who was turning red with embarassment. She Turned to the referee. "let's go sir I'm ready" The refr nodded "Alright Ladies this is a Bracket F Semifinal match, or Round 6 if you're into numbers. the Duelists will start with 5000 points apiece. Since Miss Iris is the Elder student she'll the honor of going first. Set up the field" The Arena glowed and the field was set up. Around the field were stands holding about 50 or so fans. Eva saw her friend alicia in the front row, she smiled and waved.
 Irisset up her shields. "Alright let's get this show on the road. I Summon winged worm of Taruit. This Worm has 3400 attack points, and several special abilities. A hug Worm appeared on the field. it Was Not a pretty sight to look at. it Was Purple and was covered in what looked like goopy mud. it had large green wings protruding from the middle of it, and these were also covered in mud. To top this gruesome picture off , it smelled horrible. "Worm attack! Eva was thrown backwards, and only the magic barrier surrounding the field kept her from flying high into the stands. Her score Dropped to 1600. "Iris smiled. "When my Monster does damage to my opponentt it activates the Wheel of Fate" A large  wheel appeared in the middle of the field. "After Every turn, both yours and mine, we both get to spin the wheel. Let me explain the colors on the wheel. Red is negative, which means you lose points, Gray is neutral, meaning you stay where you are. Blue means positive and you gain points. you gain or lose points based on the number of monsters on the field. The Most you can normally gain or lose is 1000 points per monster. But When you lose all your life points, You get a final spin, and values of 2000 and 5000 are added to the wheel, but only for that turn. If You gain life points on that turn, then the duel continues. So I'll place 2 cards face down and end my turn. Now I'll spin first and see what comes up.. 'She Spun the whell with a gesture and it spun around stopping on  blue 800. "Alright so I Gain 800 lifepoints" Iris's score went up to 5800. It's your turn Eva. Let's see what you get. After the Wheel stops , then you can begin your turn."

I will summon a new monster to the field Micro" Eva said and there was a light but no monster on the field that anyone could see making many confused. "Tresure Hunter is summoned as well and he'll dig." Eva said then as the Tresure hunter diged he pulled out a scroll and it opened up with a flash both cards faced down by Iris went into the scroll and then a card came out landing face down on Eva's side. "Scroll of Mega Fate... Taking two cards of a oppents side to get a Card of Mega Fate." Eva said then the card face down raise showing a orb with four beams of light shinning from the corners.

The card glowed and it then interfered with the wheel slowing it to Grey and stopped. But the card did something else a beam came from it forming a shield on her side. "This Shield is different to anyone thing else and it also hides what monster I will add to the field" Eva said "And as well Mirco can be seen" Eva said and Iris could see it but her monster seem to be frozen and white all over then it fell over fainting and the disappearing. Her life points falling and Eva's went up by 2000.

"I will place this card face down" Eva said putting it down "Your turn Iris" Eva said with Iris's life points are down to 2500

So you have 3600 points now and i Have 2400" iris said, nice moves. But You're forgeting about the wheel of fate, After every turn, we each get a spin." Eva Nodded and spun the wheel it landend on blue 500. "Ok So there's 2 monsters on the field. Your Treasure Hunter and Micro. so you gain 1000 more points eva. Eva's score wenyt up to 4600. "Now my Turn to spin/ Her turn ended on red 1000. "Crap" Iris said. THat means I Lose 2000 points,. Her Score went down to 400. She then drew a card. " I Play Orb of three. This prevents you from attacking me for 3 turns. "That will buy me some time" She thought to herself. Sendar She yelled and a blue beam shoiot out of her necklace, hitting and destroying micro and Tresure Hunter. But the Shield glowed around Eva and her score was unaffected. her face down revealed itself.  "Multiplication. Trasure Hunter and Micro returned to the field, except that there were two of each now. "  "Evenus' She called out "the Difference between our scores is 4200, so you lose 2100 and I gain 2100. Eva dropped and Iris went up to 2500. next I Play Magic ghost  This creature special ability allows me to inflict half its attack points as direct damage on you so you lose 500 points Eva Dropped to 2000. Next I Play magical Restoration. And I use it to call back my Worm" the Huge Disgusting worm returned. Next I'll play magical knigfht. then I'll switch magic ghost and Magical kNight into defense mode. Then I'll place one face down down and end my turn. "Now there are 7 monsters on the field Eva. So you could gain or lose 7000 points. " Lets See What I get. As The Wheel spun she thought "if it stops on negative, my duel is over. the only negative spot i could survive is negative 300, i'd lose 2100 points but I'd have 400 left. The Wheel slowed down, it was passing through the grays and entering the blues. "this could be good very good" It Stopped at blue 1000. "7000 points, YES!" She cried out. I'm up to 9500. now its your turn to go Eva. Remeber you have to spin before you can make your move, and also remember my orbs. they prevent you from attacking for three turns, you can inflict direct damage, but you can't harm me with monsters." She Said.

Eva spins it and it hits blue she then look at her card that was summoned suddenly it glowed by itself then five creatures appeared four in front and 1 behind and then her life point shot off the roof to 1,000,000. Eva's jaw dropped at what happened and heard the four in front whisper and the wheel turned on fire and smashed into Iris making her lose 500 life points.

We the guardians of Fate. We are the surveant of Fateical... you may not hurt or attack till your magic card disappears..." the four cloaked creatures said in a strange and era tone.

"You may not even casted your equal spell I the master of Fate have removed that power... I Fateical has spoken..." Fateical said then spoke "In 2 turns The spell of Mega Fate will be shown... brace yourself" the dark cloaked creature points a scaly claw hand at Iris

Stripetail instantly known who they was the Fate Dragons had appeared on the field from the Mega Fate Card the leader of the Fate Dragons. Icer (ice) , Flare (fire) , Brilts (Light)  and Darke (dark) the four that serve The Dragon of Fate Fateical the five most unknown dragons of them all the dragons that has powers not even known by Stripetail and only knowing them cause he summoned them in his semi final bracket the first time he became the winner

"Impresive eva" StRipetail Said softly. "I Remember the dragons, and their powers are great. Use them wEll" Fateical looked at Stripetail and bowed. "I have come to aid your pupil great One, as we aided you in your youth. We Have come to repay a favor you did for us, one of many." STripetail smiled and nodded. "pLease continue." He Said to iris.

 alright 'Evenus" Eva's score dropped to 900000, and Iris went up 109000. 'What? she's still ahead? We're supposed to be even!" "Remember, we have disrupted the evening spell, you can gain points but only some. And You cannot use the spell again, as in the rules." Icer Said to her. Iris Looked at the dRagons. "Try this' She snarled. I merge my ghost and my knight with my worm giving him 5700 points. 'Now Attack. Eva went down to 894300. now Worm Invoke your Life Drainer. A Dice appeared in her hand, and she rolled it, it was a five. "attack again. eva dropped to 865800.  Invoke your dUplication. Two Worms Appeared on the field. Doubles Attack Eva dropped to 854400. Iris breathed hard.  I'm barely stratching her!" 'only the greatest of duelists..." "The greatest of Duelists.. ' The greatest" 'can defeat us' Can defeat us " "you are nowhere near that status" You cannot win. "Use up your worms abilities, it will not matter' the four hooded creatures chanted.  Iris negan to grow angry. "My Lord" she Said to Stripetail, "tell her to take them off the field. This is completely unfair. " STripetail gave her a piercing look, and she shuddered. "Unfair, you say? no, it is not unfair, there are many powerful monsters in the world of dueling, iris some come in cards, some are activated by dueling. Look Through your deck, Your monsters abilities allow you to keep attacking until the abilities are all used. I'm s.ure you have strong monsters." Iris Shook her head. "nothing in the league of those creatures. How could this get any worse?" "she also has Titans" StRipetail said nonchalantly. Iris looked at him in shook and then she took her paw and placed it over her deck. "I Concede Eva. You win"

"You've gained a very powerful card Eva. fateical  and his servants will help you a great deal. tHey are in the same class as Titans, yet their full powers are unknown. I know of thier existence because they helped me in my first year, they helped me reach the Finals against LOrd Marrin. Anyway you are now in the Bracket F Finals, the other Semifinal is sttill going on, so you won;t know until later who your opponent will be, until then I suggest you go sit down and rest. I kNow you have a lot of questions, But For now they can wait."
