Here you are, facing down two of Seto Kaiba's strongest monsters with barely any Life Points left.

Y/N: I have to believe in myself... Draw!

Kaiba: Nothing will help you.

Y/N: Hm... This will work. I activate Miracle Fusion! I banish Stratos, Woodsman, and Ocean. I Fusion Summon! Elemental Hero Core! Core, attack Chaos MAX Dragon! When Core attacks or is attacked, It's Atk doubles!

Kaiba: I won't allow it! I activate my trap! Negate Attack!

Y/N: I end my turn.

Kaiba: Draw. Hm... I set two cards and end my turn.

Y/N: Draw! Hm. I activate Monster Reborn! Welcome back Elemental Hero Stratos! With his effect I'll add Honesty Neos to my hand. I activate Mask Change! Using Stratos, I can summon Masked Hero Divine Wind! I also activate Mask Change II using Core to summon Masked Hero Dian! I activate Polymerization! I fuse my two heroes together! Come forth Contrast Hero Chaos!

Kaiba: What will that do?

Y/N: He'll win this duel for me! I activate my spell card, Megamorph! Since my Life Points are lower than yours, Chaos's attack points double!

(Chaos Atk: 3000---> 6000)

Kaiba: You still can't win!

Y/N: We'll see. Chaos! Attack Chaos MAX Dragon! During this time, I activate Honesty Neos! By discarding it, Chaos will gain At equal to Chaos MAX Dragon's Atk!

(Chaos Atk: 6000---> 10000)

Kaiba: 10000 Atk?

Y/N: That's right! This duel is over! Contrast Hero Chaos, finish this duel with Ultimate Contrast Collage!

Your monster raises its hand and blasts Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon with a huge burst of energy.

Kaiba LP: 4000---> 0)

Kaiba: Congratulations.

Alexis runs up and you catch her in a spin. She gives you a kiss on the lips.

Crowler: Congratulations. You are now an official graduate of Duel Academy.

Y/N: If it's all the same with you, Crowler, I'd like to stay on the island for a while.

Crowler: Understandable.

Everyone celebrates in front of the Slifer dorms Atticus plays his ukulele while Jaden stuffs his face. You and Alexis sit by the water holding hands.

Alexis: So what are you gonna do now?

Y/N: I honestly don't know yet. But either way, I want you to be the girl I spend the rest of my life with.

Alexis: Are you asking me what I think you are?

Y/N: After you graduate, will you marry me?

Alexis: Yes!

She kisses you softly and you couldn't be happier.
