'This is my final card.' Dextra look at her deck then exhaust a little. "My turn, draw!"
"I activate Pot of Avarice; shuffle 5 monsters from my graveyard to my deck, then draw 2 cards. I return 2 Blue Mountain Butterspy, Morpho Butterspy, Swallowtail Butterspy and Blade Armor Ninja to my deck." Four monsters flew back into her deck, and she quickly draw 2 cards.
"Then I activate Pot of Greed to draw two more cards. I summon Swallowtail Butterspy, then Blue Mountain Butterspy can special summon itself to my field, I overlay both monster to xyz summon my ace monster, condition is two level 4 monsters. Open your wing for the world, rank 4 Photon Alexandra Queen!"
[Photon Alexandra Queen, atk: 2400]
"I activate it effect; detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card; return all monsters on the field to the hand, each player takes 500 damage for each of their monsters that left the field this way. On my field I only have Alexandra, so I only have to take 500 damage, but you have 4 monsters and have to take 2000 damage."
Ryuji look at the monster in surprised. 'The effect is definitely stronger than the game version, it will leave the field because of its own effect when activate anyway so dealing more damage is better. But the requirements to summon this card in anime is so easy! Only 2 level 4 monsters for such good remover, I gonna add 1 to my deck later.'
With a flap of its wings, Alexandra returns every monster to the hand of its owner but xyz monster like itself return to extra deck instead.
[Dextra/Nistro, LP: 2800 -> 2300]
[Ryuji, LP: 5200 -> 3200]
" Finally, I activate from my hand Monster Reborn to special summon one monster in the graveyard. This battle we're the winner, return to the field Super Conductor Tyranno! Attack directly!"
[Super Conductor Tyranno, atk: 3300]
'Exactly 100 point higher than my LP.' Ryuji watch as his own monster slowly approach him, a corner of his mouth rise slightly.
The dinosaur start gathering energy around its body and launch toward Ryuji, a huge explosion cover both of them.
Dextra and Nistro stare intensely at Ryuji field, wonder if they both truly win. As the smoke fade away, Ryuji stand there unharmed, before him stand a half dinosaur half machine monster.
[Stegocyber, def: 2400]
[Ryuji, LP: 3200 -> 2200]
"You think you can defeat me with my own monster? What a joke! Stegocyber effect; During damage calculation, if my opponent's monster attacks while this card is in my Graveyard: I can pay 1000 LP; Special Summon this card, I take no battle damage from that battle but banish this card when it leaves the field."
Dextra sign helplessly "As expect I can't defeat you, look like this is the furthest I can go. I end my turn."
Ryuji look at both Dextra and Nistro and give them an encouraging smile. "You both did well, there's no need to feel sad, after all even a professional duelist can't hold this long again me." Ryuji slowly put his hand on his deck then he suddenly feels as if something was called for him. He looks at his deck for a moment 'Even you want to join this battle? Look like our lazy head finally decided to work.'
"Then it's my turn, draw! I activate Advanced Ritual Art; This card is used to Ritual Summon any 1 Ritual Monster by sending Normal Monsters from my Deck to the GY whose total Levels equal the Level of that Ritual Monster." The moment Ryuji activate this card, both Dextra and Nistro eyes went wide. They have never seen Ryuji using ritual monster since that day.
'Did he gonna use that monster again?' Dextra and Nistro thought with a bit of hope, it's been several years since the time they see that monster, the symbol of destruction but is also what bring hope to they life.
"I send Sabersaurus and Megalosmasher X from my deck to graveyard, ritual summon level 8, Demise, King of Armageddon!"
[Demise, King of Armageddon, atk: 2400]
'It's really that monster!' Both Dextra and Nistro hand tremble a little when they see the familiar monster. 'Though the pressure is a little bit weaker but this undoubted that monster, I even thought he dump it somewhere.'
"Demise effect; by paying 2000 LP, destroy all other card on the field! End of the world!" The demon rise it axe and chop down on the field create a shockwave that sweep though the field, destroy everything in it way.
Now, only Demise remain on the field. Ryuji continue his order "I use Demise to attack directly! This battle end here!" Demise slowly raises his axe once again and swings it at Dextra and Nistro. As the attack come closer, Dextra can't help but thought 'Similar, so similar, like when he saves me!'
The image of Demise attack slowly fuses with the screen in her memories...

3rd POV:
Deep inside an abandoned warehouse. Two small kids — Nistro and Dextra, both about 5-year-old— are pressed tight behind rusted metal crates. Nistro's chest rises and falls fast as he tries to slow his breathing. Dextra's face is buried against his shirt. Both wearing dirty clothes with a skinny appearance.
"D-Did we cut them off?" With a short grasp, the little girl asks the boy beside her.
"I don't think so..." The boy answer quietly, then he quickly put a finger on her mouth hinting her to be quiet.
Rain hammers the roof above them. Footsteps echo through the warehouse. Flashlight beams cut through the dark. A group of people rush inside the warehouse, one of them curse out loud. "They're here somewhere, go find them quick, don't let our new supplier run away! If we let these two kids ran away boss will throw us to the sea to be shark food!"
They're not hard to guess the group of men before them are all kidnappers, Nistro and Dextra not dare to make a single voice.
The flashlight beam freezes near their hiding spot. Nistro swallows hard. He slowly reaches into his pocket, pulls out a coin. His fingers shake as he throws it across the floor. It clatters sharply. The men rush away, voices fading into the rain.
Nistro peeks out. He spots a broken side door hanging loose, rain pouring through. He grabs Dextra's hand. They run! Their feet slip on wet concrete as they sprint for the door. They burst outside—
Then a burst of light covers their faces making them blind for a few seconds follow by a applause.
"Who would have expect two young kid to escape from us for so long? But too bad I don't have much patient left for you two. As a punishment for waste our time, don't blame me if some of your bones broke." The leader of the kidnappers slowly took out a baton and swing it directly at Nistro. "If you resist then that little girl behind you will have to take it!"
"Be careful!" Dextra shout anxiety trying to push Nistro away but he stands still, guard Dextra behind, refuse to move. Both of them close their eyes waiting for the baton to land but nothing came. "Ah! My hand!"
They open their eyes in surprised at the leader sudden scream. He is two meters away from them, kneeing while clutching his hand. Blood run down his hand, not far away a card was sunk slightly into the ground with a trace of blood at its corner.
"Sign... Who would have thought that to this day kidnappers still exist? But seriously, you all such a failure. I have watching you all trying to catch those two kids for two hours straight, quite comedy not gonna lie."
Everyone present turn their heads at the direction of the voice, on the top of the warehouse a young boy was shit on top with a hoodie cover his face, although it was raining but none of it even reach the boy. With a roar of thunder that light up the place for a moment, they can see his clear golden eyes, like a predator eyeing its prey. Then the boy jumps off the building and land before Nistro and Dextra guard them behind.
The boy set his eyes on the group of kidnappers and let out a sneer. "None of you are duelist yet you all still dare to play bad guys?" Before the kidnappers can get what he says, the ground under them start glowing with a green magic circle with the center being the card on the ground. The boy rise his hand showing a card between his fingers.
"Dear the king of destruction, I present to you sacrifices in order for your descend upon this world. Answer my call and show the world your might; Demise, King of Armageddon!"
From the center of the circle, a ray of light shoot at the sky clear away all cloud and rain drops. Everyone covers their eyes from the intense light. As the light fade away, an enormous figure with black armor. The figure slowly rise its head and reveal a horrific smile like a demon walking out of hell (It's).
The kidnappers were terrifying; some even wet themselves. They all try to run away but the magic circle trap them all in. Nistro and Dextra already in tear. Their legs gave up and they drop on the ground.
The boy slightly raises his hand and point at the group of kidnappers, with an indifferent voice he commands: "Use soul attack to not leave the physical evidence, make them fall into vegetative state."
Demise nod and rise its axe and swing down release a deadly shockwave that sweep though the area.
Behind them Dextra eyes lock on the axe as its swing down...

Nistro raise his duel disk to cover his head but Dextra just stand there unmoved. When the axe was about to hit, she raises both her arms as if she wants to embrace it.
[Dextra/Nistro, LP: 2300 -> 0]
