Kenzaki: Alright. Let the rematch begin!
Both: Duel!
*Both duelists begin with 8000 life points*
Zhongli: I’ll take the first move this time. I’ll start with Sentry Soldier of Stone.
*Sentry Soldier of Stone appears*
Zhongli: I’ll now set a card face down and conclude my turn.
Gore: My move!
*Gore draws*
Gore: I’ll get this round started by bringing out Gouki Suprex!
*Gouki Suprex appears*
Gore: And thanks to his ability, I can summon Gouki Twistcobra.
*Gouki Twistcobra appears*
Gore: Now I’ll mash up my circuit! I need 2 Goukis in order to Link Summon. So I set Gouki Suprex and Twistcobra in the link arrows. I Link Summon Link-2 Gouki Jet Ogre!
*Gouki Jet Ogre appears.*
Gore: Since I just sent Suprex and Twistcobra to the showers, I’m allowed to add 2 other Gouki cards to my hand. Then I’ll activate Gouki Rematch! This lets me bring 2 Goukis with different levels from my graveyard in defense mode. So I bring back Suprex and Twistcobra!
*Both Goukis appear*
Gore: Then I’ll mash out my circuit once again! This time I need at least 3 Goukis in order to Link Summon. So I set all 3 Goukis in the link arrows to bring out the most powerful wrestler in my deck! You ain’t ready for this Zhongli! I Link Summon Link-4 Gouki the Giant Ogre!
*Gouki the Giant Ogre appears*
Blue Angel: No way.
Playmaker: That’s Gore’s best monster.
Gore: Since Jet Ogre was sent to my graveyard, all Goukis gain 500 attack points until the end of the turn. And since Giant Ogre’s attack points changed, its attack goes up by another 1000 until the end of the turn. Time for some action. Gouki the Giant Ogre attack Sentry Soldier of Stone!
Zhongli: I activate my face down card Book of Moon. This will now change my Soldier face down. Now you won’t be able to deal me damage.
*Sentry Soldier of Stone is destroyed.*
Gore: That’s all for my turn. Which means my Giant Ogre’s attack returns to normal.
Zhongli: I draw!
*Zhongli draws*
Zhongli: I must commemorate you for bringing your best monster Gore. You have exceptional skills as a duelist.
Gore: Thanks. But don’t think flattery will win you the duel.
Zhongli: I can assure you that I will win with my own skills. And first, since all the monsters in my graveyard are Rock monsters, my Sentry Soldier of Stone returns to my field.
*Sentry Soldier of Stone returns*
Zhongli: Then, I’ll summon Doki Doki.
*Doki Doki appears*
Zhongli: Due to its ability, I’ll discard another Sentry Soldier of Stone in order to summon another Rock monster from my deck with the same level. So I call The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion.
*The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion appears*
Zhongli: And now I’ll bring my second Sentry Soldier of Stone back from my graveyard.
*Sentry Soldier of Stone returns*
Zhongli: Now I’ll build the circuit of the founding rock. I am required to use 2 EARTH monsters to Link Summon. So I shall set my Sentry Soldier of Stone and Doki Doki in the link arrows. I Link Summon Link-2 G Golem Stubborn Menhir!
*G Golem Stubborn Menhir appears*
Gore: G Golem?
Zhongli: Seems like you’re familiar with this archetype.
Gore: Yeah. I dueled someone who also used those cards.
Zhongli: Then this move will certainly surprise you Gore. I use the ability of The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion. By tributing it along with another monster, I can summon an appropriate EARTH fusion monster from my extra deck. And thanks to its other ability, it can be treated as a fusion material needed for a fusion summon. So I tribute The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion along with my Stubborn Menhir to call forth Invoked Magellanica!
*Invoked Magellanica appears*
Zhongli: Then I play Monster Reborn to bring Stubborn Menhir back from my graveyard.
*Stubborn Menhir returns.*
Zhongli: Then with its ability, I can special summon an EARTH monster that can be normal summoned or set back from my graveyard by negating its abilities and banishing it when it leaves the field. So I return Doki Doki to the field.
*Doki Doki returns*
Zhongli: Now I once again build the circuit of the founding rock! I am required to at least 2 EARTH monsters to Link Summon. So I shall set Doki Doki, Sentry Soldier of Stone, and Link-2 Stubborn Menhir in the link arrows. I Link Summon Link-4 G Golem Dignified Trilithon!
*G Golem Dignified Trilithon appears*
Zhongli: Now I shall engage in battle. G Golem Dignified Trilithon attacks Gouki the Giant Ogre! And thanks to its ability, by sending Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders to my graveyard your Giant Ogre not only loses 200 attack points but it also loses its special abilites.
Gore: Oh no.
*Gore’s life points fall to 7400*
Zhongli: And now Invoked Magellanica attacks you directly! Tectonic Crush!
Gore: Nice try Zhongli! I discard Gouki Octostretch from my hand to halve the damage.
*Gore’s life points fall to 5900*
Zhongli: You certainly are a persistent duelist. I’ll end my turn.
Gore: I draw!
*Gore draws*
Gore: Looks like luck is on my side. I play my own Monster Reborn to bring Giant Ogre back for round 2!
*Gouki the Giant Ogre returns*
Gore: Then I play another Gouki Rematch to bring back Suprex and Twistcobra!
*Both Goukis return*
Gore: Now I think it’s time I try a new move.
Zhongli: Oh? And what is this new move?
Gore: You won’t have to wait long. I activate Gouki Tag Team Fusion!
Zhongli: A fusion summon?
Gore: That’s right. It lets me fusion summon using Gouki’s from my hand or field. So I fuse Suprex and Twistcobra! By mixing these two brawlers together, I can create an all new bruiser. I Fusion Summon! Bring the pain! Gouki the Ultimate Ogre!
*A massive, dark red ogre with gold armor with 3500 attack points appears.*
Gore: Not too shabby, huh?
Zhongli: It’s truly impressive.
Gore: That’s not all. Since I sent Suprex and Twistcobra to my graveyard, I get to add 2 new Gouki cards to my hand. Now I think it’s time for some payback from last time. Gouki the Ultimate Ogre, attack G Golem Dignified Trilithon!
Zhongli: Don’t forget about my Trilithon’s ability.
Gore: Sorry Zhongli, but your Trilithon won’t be doing anything. When Ultimate Ogre battles, my opponent can’t activate cards/effects during the battle phase. And on top of that, when it battles a Link Monster, your monster gets its attack points halved.
Zhongli: Oh dear.
*Zhongli’s life points fall to 6100.*
Gore: Now I’ll have Giant Ogre attack Magellanica!
Zhongli: But they’ll both be destroyed!
Gore: Not really. Giant Ogre can’t be destroyed in battle. So your monster will be the only one to bite the dust.
Zhongli: A nice move there.
Gore: I’ll throw a facedown and end my turn.
Zhongli: Then it’s my turn. I draw!
*Zhongli draws*
Zhongli: Hmm, interesting. I banish Stubborn Menhir and Dignified Trilithon from my graveyard to summon Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders!
*Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders appears*
Gore: A Dragon Ruler!?
Zhongli: Indeed. Now that all the monsters in my graveyard are once again Rock monsters, I can bring my Sentry Soldiers back from my graveyard.
*Both Sentry Soldier of Stones return*
Zhongli: Now I’ll activate my spell card Geo Forge Fusion. It allows me to fuse 2 Rock monsters on my field into an all new monster. So I fuse my 2 Sentry Soldiers together! I Fusion Summon! Azhdaha, the Sealed Geo Dragon!
*An ancient dragon with 3500 attack points appears.*
Azhdaha: Morax. You call upon your old ally to battle. Does this mean you wish for me to fight by your side once again?
Zhongli: Indeed my friend. Now please lend me your strength by activating your special ability. When Azhdaha is called out to my field while I control another EARTH monster, I’m allowed to add a “Geo” spell from my hand. And then I’ll activate the card I just added, Roar of the Geo Dragons! Since I control 2 EARTH Dragon monsters, this card destroys up to 2 monsters you control and deal you damage equal to the combined attack points.
Gore: Oh no!
*Gore’s life points fall to 0.*
Gore: Dang it. I lost.
Zhongli: Yes, but at the same time you have proven that you’re capable of standing your own ground. That is a true power of a warrior of the rock. *Manifests a square amulet with a golden, diamond-shaped crystal at its center* Take this Gore. You have been chosen to represent the element of Geo.
Gore: *Takes the amulet before putting it on his uniform and feeling the power flowing through his body.* Thank you Zhongli. I promise to use this power responsibly.
Zhongli: Good.
