Hatem Bazuri and Chavi Gamal's duel

In Chapter 24 of *Alpha Rangers: Evolution,* Hatem Bazuri dueled Chavi Gamal in a duel that would determine the fate of Sahara City's future and whether Vixtanu lives or dies. Notably, this is the penultimate duel of Season 1 of Evolution.

**Turn 1: Chavi**

Chavi activates the field spell Triamid Kingolem, then normal summons Triamid Hunter in attack position, who gains five hundred attack points due to Kingolem (1900). She ends her turn.

**Turn 2: Hatem**

Hatem draws. As Chavi has a monster on his field and he doesn't, he can special summon Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit, who he tributes to normal summon Hazy Flame Hydra. Since Tefnuit was tributed, Hatem can special summon Tyhone #2 from his deck with zero points. He overlays Tyhone #2 and Hazy Flame Hydra to Xyz Summon Hazy Flame Basiltrice, but Chavi activates Triamid Hunter's effect, letting her send Kingolem to her graveyard to activate Triamid Fortress instead. In addition, since Triamid Kingolem went to her graveyard, she can summon Triamid Sphinx in defense position, who gains five hundred points from each Triamid field spell in Chavi's graveyard, as well as Fortress (3500).

In response, Hatem activates the Hazy Pillar continuous spell, letting him attach Hazy Flame Griffin to Basiltrice from his hand, and with three Xyz Materials, Basiltrice's effect activates, giving it two hundred points for each. (3100) Hatem ends his turn, at which time, Chavi explains her backstory.

**Turn 3: Chavi**

Chavi draws, then normal summons Sentry Soldier of Stone, who she overlays with Triamid Hunter to Xyz Summon Gorgonic Guardian. By detaching an Xyz Material, like Sentry Soldier of Stone, Gorgonic Guardian reduces Basiltrice's ATK to zero, which lets it be destroyed by Gorgonic Guardian's other effect. Furthermore, as Chavi only controls Rock monsters, she can revive her Sentry Solder in defense position. Gorgonic Guardian attacks Hatem directly. (Hatem: 6400) Chavi ends her turn.

**Turn 4: Hatem**

Hatem draws and subsequently activates Pot of Greed, then normal summons Fire King Avatar Arvata. Since he only controls Fire monsters, he's also allowed to summon Goka, the Pyre of Malice, who destroys Arvata, activating its effect to revive Hazy Flame Griffin. Then, he activates Ready Fusion, paying a thousand life points to special summon Crimson Sunbird from his extra deck (Hatem: 5400). Hatem overlays all three of his monsters to Xyz Summon his second Hazy Flame Basiltrice, forcing Chavi to use Gorgonic Guardian's second Xyz Material. Hatem sets a card and ends his turn.

**Turn 5: Chavi**

Chavi draws. She switches Gorgonic Guardian to defense position, then activates Terraforming, using it to add a second Triamid Kingolem to her hand, which she activates by sending Triamid Fortress to the graveyard, raising Sphinx's stats (4000/3500). It attacks Basiltrice, but Hatem activates Compulsory Evacuation Device to return it to Chavi's hand. Chavi sets a monster and ends her turn.

**Turn 6: Hatem**

Hatem draws. He activates Monster Reborn to revive Hazy Flame Hydra, then uses Hazy Pillar to normal summon Hazy Flame Mantikor. He then overlays both of them to Xyz Summon Constellar Ptolemy M7 before detaching an Xyz Material to banish Gorgonic Guardian, then an Xyz Material from Ptolemy to return Sentry Soldier of Stone to Chavi's hand. Basiltrice and Ptolemy M7 attack Chavi directly. (Chavi: 2800)

**Turn 7: Chavi**

Chavi draws. At this point, she flat out tries to kill Hatem, first by trying to convince Bowser's airship fleet to open fire on Hatem, then pulling out a gun, but she stops, wanting to end the duel with honor. She passes.

**Turn 8: Hatem**

Hatem draws. Basiltrice and Ptolemy attack Chavi directly. (Chavi: 0)

Hatem wins.
