Battle Spirits: World of Monsters
Chapter 1: Descend! The Wyvern King, Rathalos!
There are many different worlds that have their own distinct characteristics. This story revolves around two worlds. The first world is known as the Monster World. Here, creatures are more dangerous and threatening to the human race. Some species include a variety of gigantic bugs, multiple raptors, wyverns, wolves, apes, leviathans, man eating fish, crabs, mammoths, dinosaurs, and even dragons. All of these colossal monsters are considered a threat due to their many abilities. Humans however, aren't entirely defenseless, as a majority of humans take on the profession of being a Monster Hunter. These brave and valiant hunters take on a variety of monsters, and face impossible odds, in a world of survival of the fittest. Usually in groups of four, Hunters team up with each other in multiple hunts, using different weapons, ranging from Great Swords, Dual Blades, Bow-guns, and even more. Truly, these hunters are recognized as heroes. After a long hard battle, if Hunters are successful, and lucky, they can reap the spoils of the monster they've slain and craft more powerful armor and weapons.
Putting aside all of the monsters and hunters, we move to the other world that is a little less life threatening and does not have same heart-stopping action as the world of the Monster Hunters. Instead of fighting gigantic monsters, that could obliterate you if you're unfit for combat, is a normal world with what you expect; normal people, cars, houses, schools, and just plain normal animals. Despite the lack of gigantic monsters roaming around in the ecosystem, there is one special feature of this world. That would be the famous card game Battle Spirits. In this card game, players are battle with each other, calling forth spirits to fight their sides. It soon becomes a heated battle between players. Tournaments are held to decide champions among Card Battlers. In this world, the battles here are mostly competitive and thrill inducing. The game became so popular that a new Battle Field system was created, where players can call life sized spirits, cast realistic looking magic, and do so much more. Truly, Battle Spirits is a game that everyone can enjoy.
While both worlds have their own exciting events, one of monster hunting, and another with an intense card game, these two worlds are about to collide, whether the inhabitants like it or not. Apparently, a dangerous threat is looming over both of these worlds.
(Monster World: Ancestral Steppe)
The Ancestral Steppe is one of many distinct locations in the Monster World. It's has a wide variety of landscapes, ranging from grassy plains, rocky outcroppings, forested areas, a multitude of caves and a towering mountain that scales over the plains. This location is also inhabited by many monsters. While this place is peaceful at times, hunters are usually called here to hunt monsters, due to job requests that are requested by a majority of people. It's considered a normal thing here in this world, but now things aren't so normal. Today, the Ancestral Steppe is clouded with dark clouds, filling the sky with a certain feeling of dread. Down in area 4 of the Ancestral Steppe, a battle was brewing between a monster and four hunters, but this was no average battle.
On the surface, four hunters, two males and two females, were standing their ground, each equipped with their own armor. One female hunter was wearing the Blademaster Nerscylla X armor, and wielded a Belobog's Scythe charge blade. The other female was wearing Diablos armor, and wielded a Deep Buster lance. One male hunter was equipped with Blademaster Lagiacrus X armor, wielding an Exemplar Blade, Great Sword. The other male hunter was wearing Zinogre X armor, and was wielding the Inferno/Paradis dual blades. We will refer to these hunter by their armor names.
Right now, things weren't looking so bright. The Lagiacrus hunter just recently got hit and sent flying into the air, and landed on his back, reducing his health considerably. The Diablos Hunter looked back at her injured comrade out of concern, and looked back at the monster. The monster had the build of a gorilla with black fur, with gigantic muscular arms, two ram horns on it's head, and black tail. It's red eyes glisten with rage, and it let out a furious roar as it's fur then spiked up and turned yellow, and its arms turned red with rage. This is the Rajang. One of the fiercest monsters known to most hunters. However, it was different from most; it was in a frenzied state. Its fur had hints of purple and its breath was a black vapor.
(If you want: Play the Rajang's theme)
The Rajang jumped back, and dug its right hand into the ground, and lifted up an enormous piece of the landscape, and threw it at he Hunters. The Nerscylla Huntress rolled to avoid it, while the Diablos Huntress lifted up her shield to block, but failed to do so in time and got hit, severally injuring her. Meanwhile, the Zinogre Hunter was up on a ledge and currently was in Demon Mode, as he performed a flying spin attack on the Rajang, hitting it in the process. The Rajang however didn't stagger, and the monster then jumped into the air, and did a mid-air spin attack, homing in on the Lagiacrus Hunter who just finished healing. The hunter noticed this and dove out of the way from the two spin-attacks. He then ran towards the monster and readied his great sword, managing to hit the raging Rajang with three attacks. He rolled out of the way, as the Rajang then began throwing out several punches. However, the Nerscylla huntress managed to time the Rajang's position just right, and managed to land a devastating blow on the Rajang, with her Charge Blade in axe mode. The Rajang was then toppled over and was now struggling to get up. The three of the hunters then rushed in to deal extra damage, while another was setting up a pit fall trap.
Once the Rajang got up, it then let out another roar, firing an electric laser beam from its mouth. Two of the hunters got injured severely, as they managed to get over to the trap. The four hunters regrouped, and waited for the Rajang to charge, armed with Tranquilizer bombs. A spark of hope was seen. But was then extinguish when thud was heard from behind the Hunters. The Hunters turned around to see black scaled dragon, with Dark Wings, that emitted purple veins, and two dark horns on it's head. This is the deadly dragon known as the Gore Magala. The Dark Dragon let out a loud screech as it spread its dark scales across the entire area, and fired its dark breath at the hunters, forcing them away from the trap. The Rajang and Gore Magala then stood next to each other. The Gore Magala then let out a roar and gesture it's head to the Rajang. The Rajang nodded as if it were obeying the dragon. A large purple raptor, known as the Great Jaggi, which was frenzied, also came out to join to assist the Magala, but no one really cared about him. Not even the Monsters. The three monsters then charged towards the Hunters, with the Magala performing a dive attack, and the Rajang doing a spin attack. The Hunters weren't going to give up with out a fight, as they drew their weapons and charged towards the monsters with all their might to grasp victory.
(Elder Hall)
In the city of Dundorma, is where the Elder Hall stands. Inside, stood a wavy white-haired girl with pale skin, and silver eyes. She was currently wearing a white dress with yellow accents. This is Elizabeth Crescent, a G-Ranked Hunter. She isn't wearing her armor at the moment, as she prefers the clothes she has on right now when she's not fighting. Right now, she was now having a discussion with the head of the Elder Hall, the Immense; a gigantic Wyverian, a humanoid species that resides in this world, with a huge head and wore samurai like armor.
"Harrumph! This situation is most dire. In the past, I've seen the frenzy virus to be the cause of many terrible events, but this one is the devastating of them all. I trust you know the importance of your mission?" The Immense said.
The white-haired Huntress nodded. "Yes, your Immenseness. It is evident that the frenzy virus was modified by an outside power. At first, I was reluctant to believe that something this small, could be so significant." She then held up a little hexagon blue-shaped gem to her face, as it glimmered. "But after seeing what it did to the Rathalos, I'm certain of it. These gems cured the monsters we've captured of their frenzy, and they haven't shown signs of reverting back to their frenzied state. However, it doesn't work on the other frenzied monsters that were captured before the incident started. I believe that this is entirely different frenzy virus. We need answers, so I believe that we should believe the entity known as Magisa." The Huntress said.
The Immense only scratched his chin. "Very well. Greg. Please bring the items forward." Immense said. The knight, named Greg, brought forth several Diamond shaped gems that glowed, and rectangular like objects with a certain type of gem in them. These Gems ranged from Rubies, Sapphires, Topazes, Emeralds, Amethysts, and Diamonds. The Huntress grabbed the items from the tray and placed them in her bag. She then took out one of the items with a diamond gem, and raised it up. A rectangle like gate then opened up, emitting a bright light of energy. The white-haired girl walked towards the gate, but stop for a brief moment. "Well, I'm off. Wish me the best of luck. I pray that we find great allies." She said, as she stepped into the gate. The Immense then looked down, hoping for a miracle.
(World of Battle Spirits: Los Angeles/
Card White Base)
In the city of Los Angeles, (my fictional Los Angeles), is a card shop, known by most as Card White Base. Many card battlers gather here to play for fun, buy cards, trade cards, or just watch the action. The main popularity of card shops like these was the in-built Battle field system, that transports players to a VR field to play a giant size version of the game. One 16-year-old girl in particular was sitting on a table, proudly laying her cards out on a table. She had long red hair tied up in a short ponytail, on the middle section of the back of her head, with some of her hair covering her forehead. She had an Olive skin color, and two orange eyes. She was tall as your average teenage girl, and she wore green pants with a brown belt. For upper garment, she wore a light red short-sleeved jacket that went down to mid-section of her body, with a yellow shirt on the inside, depicting a torch. This is Florina Rush: a card battler at heart. "¡La baraja es excelente! Now let's see what Bob thinks of it." Florina said cheerfully, as she got up from the desk and went to the counter.
Next to the counter was a 17-year-old teenage boy, with short light green hair going down to half way to his neck, and covering his right eye, was standing in the corner, with white Bose headphones on his head, and was currently listening to music playing from his phone that was in his jacket pocket. He was wearing blue jeans, a black jacket, with side pockets, and a plain white shirt underneath. His eyes were the color of jade, and were unfocused. Clearly this man is not in touch with the real world right now, as his eyes were looking upwards at the ceiling. This is Bob Oliver. Right now, Bob failed to notice a certain red head coming his way, trying to get his attention. At this moment, Florina was shouting at him at full volume, which caught the attention of others in the store, and was waving her hand in front of his face. After a while, she started to get frustrated and went for desperate measures. She then pulled out one end of his headphones, and yelled as loud as she could into his eye. "YO BOB! STOP IGNORING ME!" Florina yelled.
Bob finally reacted as he then fell over, after getting hit with Florina's voice. Florina only smiled innocently after that. "You do realize it's rude to ignore people." Florina said, crouching down.
"Ugh. Do you really have to shout that loud? It's draws in a lot of attention." Bob said, scratching his left ear.
Florina then had a confused look on her faced, and blinked a couple of times. She then turned around to see several eyes staring at the two, due to all the commotion they were causing. To be more accurate, the commotion Florina was causing. Florina only smiled and waved towards the other customers, and then went back face to face with Bob, and hummed cheerfully. Bob only rolled his eyes. "What do you want?" he asked.
"I need you to check out my modified Battle Spirits Red deck." Florina said, grabbing Bob's hand and lifting him up.
"Why do you always ask me to check it? Can't you just ask somebody else to do it? I mean, I am only worth one man's opinion." Bob said, showing no expression of even caring.
"It's because you're the first person that comes to my mind. You're fast at checking decks to. Just like a Green deck's swiftness at summoning and core boosting." Florina said.
Bob only looked at Florina with a blank stare, as she gave off a cheerful one in return. He then let out a huge sigh, knowing she wouldn't take no for an answer. "You are very persistent in getting what you want." Bob said.
"That's what my Uncle says. He says it's one of my best traits." Florina said.
"Alright, alright. Just give me a moment." Bob said. Florina thought he was taking to long, so he dragged him by the arm.
After making his way over to the desk, and inspecting each card that was on the table. He began to think and then came to verdict of the deck. "So, what do you think? ¿Está bien? Florina asked.
"I'll admit it's promising, and it looks good." Bob said.
"Gracias, Bob. I'm really proud of it." Florina said with a proud look.
"However, it could be better." Bob said in blank tone.
This caused Florina to turn grey. "Eh. ¿Por qué?" Florina asked, sounding a little bit stunned.
"While the deck has a good build, not much really changed from the last time I saw it. I mean, I think there are better cards. For example: the Veloci Harpes you have in your deck are good for drawing more cards. But they can only use their effects, if they are either LV 2 or 3 and they have to decrease your opponent's life. Ashigaru Raptor to me is a better card, since it only requires to have the Soul Core on it, to use it's draw effect, and it only has to attack at any level to trigger it. Besides, you don't really use other cards that require the Soul Core much." Bob said.
Florina thought and hummed about it. "Yeah, I want to keep the Veloci Harpe. It looks way more cooler than the raptor." Florina said.
"I figure you would prefer the looks over the effects. But you could replace the Bladras with…" Bob was then interrupted by Florina slamming her hands on the table.
"Bob! I said this before, and I'll say it again! ¡No me gusta eliminar las Bladras! It's out of the question!" Florina yelled, sounding more aggressive.
"Geez! I was just going to suggest replacing the normal Bladras with the Light Bladras. These guys may need an extra core for their upper levels, but they do have red charge." Bob said, showing the cards on his phone.
"O-oh. Lo siento. I didn't mean to raise my voice. I guess I can add them to the deck." Florina said, as she sat back down.
Bob only sighed, and patted her on the head. He still retained his neutral face. "No biggie. Also, if you want, how about you put in these cards. I got them out the card dispenser today." Bob said, handing over three cards to Florina.
"Jinrai Dragon. When this card attacks, it gets 3000BP. If it has the Soul Core on it, it gets True-Clash. Hm. This is a good card. Una bunea tarjeta, para mi bajara." Florina said.
After some quick edits to the deck, Florina gathered it all up, and into one single deck of cards. "Alright! Now, battle me Bob!" Florina yelled, holding her deck up to Bob.
"Sorry, I've got to go now." Bob said, getting up.
"What!? Come on, Bob! Just one match, please?" Florina asked.
"I don't have the time okay. Besides, I think your deck needs a bit more tweaking. Nothing going to change my mind." Bob said.
"I'll give you two Kit-Kats for the chance to prove you wrong!" Florina said, as she took two Kit-Kats out of her bag.
"One match! But it's has to be a table top match. The line for the VR Battlefield is too long." Bob said, as quickly turned around, as he grabbed the Kit-Kats out of Florina's hand, and began eating one of them. Florina only chuckled at how easily he was able to change Bob's mind with chocolate.
Soon afterwards, Bob and Florina were now sitting at the table, with the game mat laid out in front of them. "Prepare for defeat, Bob! I'm going to make you eat your words, and show you that my deck is ready!" Florina said with vigor.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just do this." Bob said, drawing his cards.
"Oh, with attitude like that mister Oliver, you're going down!" Florina triumphantly yelled.
(Several turns later)
Right now, it was Bob's turn, and Florina was in a pinch. "Attack step. Diabolica Mantis attacks." Bob said casually, as he rotated his card, depicting a demonic looking Mantis.
"Uh…I block with Sieg-Apollodragon!" Florina said frantically, as she rotated her card, depicting a red dragon.
"Flash timing. I swift summon Ladybird and Dark MachG, both at the cost 1. Also, Diabolica Mantis 10000BP exceeds your dragon's 9000BP, so it's destroyed." Bob said, as Florina sadly placed her dragon in the trash. "Up next, I attack with Ladybird." Bob said, rotating a green card depicting a ladybug.
"T-take it from life." Florina said, as she moved a little transparent plastic gem, from a zone that said Life to the zone that said Reserve.
"Also, since Diabolica Mantis is at LV 2, its effect is in play. Since Ladybird is a spirit that has High Speed, and it decreased your life, one more core from life is moved to the Reserve, meaning game over." Bob said, as he laid back in his chair.
Florina only pouted as she hesitantly moved that last little gem away from her life. "Hey, don't so look so glum. You did…. better than what I thought you would do. You did Ok. Fine. Moderate." Bob said, attempting to cheer up Florina.
"If I just summoned my Brave spirit last turn, I've could have won." Florina grumbled.
"Then why didn't you?" Bob asked.
"Because, I couldn't pay for the summoning cost." Florina said, as she slumped her head on the table.
Bob only sighed, and tapped her head. Florina only looked up. "Look. You play the game right, and you know what you're doing. Your deck just needs to evolve. That's all I'm saying. You're a good Card Battler. You just need the right cards. Now, I really need to go now. Bye, Florina." Bob said as he waved goodbye.
Florina then sat up right and waved to Bob. "Te veo mañana." Florina said, waving goodbye.
"Hopefully it will be a peaceful tomorrow." Bob thought, as he waved back and exited the building.
Florina only sighed and gathered her cards. "Next time Flora. It isn't easy to change something that's special to you." She said, giving a soft smile at the cards. Seeing it was almost closing time, she got up, and headed out.
On her way home, she kept staring at her deck. She knew that the game is constantly changing, but there's really no other play style, other than this deck that she prefers to use.
"Maybe I'm just thinking about this too hard. Bob said I need to change, so maybe I can make a couple of edits. My current Key Spirit is only useful when it's combined with other braves, so maybe I need something that utilizes itself and braves. This is going to require some intense fought. Too bad Rising Apollo Dragon and Sagitto Apollo Dragon are out of stock, and finding cards that are so retro will take forever, until the people decide to make reprints of them. Also, they cost way too much money on Ebay. I mean, 39.99 dollars, for a card? I want to get good at the game, and I play to win, but I'm not going to empty my wallet, just to win a couple of matches. I already have Fried Chicken cravings already." Florina said, as she grimaced at the facts.
Right now, Florina was deep in thought wondering what to do next. Her face then made a toothy grin, as she began chuckling a bit. "Not to worry! Problems like these require intense thinking strength! I'll go home, ask Phil for some brain grub, and then I'll look at every Red power house Key Spirit. It's like Tío Phil says: Patience is the key to success. Maybe if I take my time, the answer will just bonk me right on the head. Hehe." Florina smiled, imagining a hand drawn version of herself, getting hit on the head by huge Battle Spirits card, and then falling unconscious. Florina kept smiling to herself, forgetting all about her loss, and just hummed to her own tune.
Little did she know, a little bright red-light glimmered in the sky, and then began speeding right towards her. Seeing that the light in front of her was starting to get colored red, Florina immediately turned around as a small red object flew by her head, and placed itself in the ground in front of her. Florina fell down on her bottom, and sat up. "When I said, 'a bonk on the head', I didn't mean literally. I think some of my hair got singed." Florina said. When she looked down, she was a glowing diamond shaped gem, (imagine the shape of Rupees from "The Legend of Zelda"), radiating with colors of red.
"Is that…a gem?" Florina stared deeply at the gem. In turn, the Gem seemed to be pulsing outward. "I feel like it's, calling out to me." Florina said to herself.
Right now, she was in a deserted area, so no one else was around. Florina then reached out to the glowing gem. At first, when her right hand got close, she was hesitant to touch it. But, something almost compelled her to do it. Her right hand finally made contact with the gem, causing a bright light to envelop her.
Florina didn't know what happened, but when she opened her eyes after the flash, she found herself floating in a dark area, with her body covered in a red veil. Seeing that her feet weren't touching the ground, she began flailing her arms and legs out of surprise. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA! Am I in space? Am I dead? This is really weird." Florina said. She managed to retain her balance in the dark space.
A bright red-light then shined behind her. When she turned around, she saw a bright red silhouette. From what she could see, apparently it was a bipedal wyvern like creature, with two wings, and sharp head. There weren't many other details, since the entire creature's body was made out of pure red energy. The wyvern then let out a roar, as if it was calling to her. Florina was only pushed back by the sudden sound wave of the roar, feeling the intense power, it gave off. At first, she was a bit stunned at the awe the wyvern creature gave off, knowing how much spirit it had, after just hearing one single roar. She then same towards the wyvern, through the Dark Space and was now facing the Wyvern. She then smiled and held out her hand.
"Hola. Me llamo Florina. Encantada de conocerte. That's Spanish for, 'Hi. My name is Florina. Nice to meet you.'" Florina said. She then gave off a serious smile, showing her respect.
The Wyvern only remained silent as it's glowing blue eyes stared deeply at Florina, and her serious expression, knowing she was a good pick. The Wyvern then spread out it's wings, and let out another roar, as red light once again enveloped the area. Florina was wishing she had sunglasses right now, as she once again blinded, but felt a surge of energy flow through her. She then loss conscious.
(Meanwhile)
While Florina was having her special encounter, Bob Oliver was busy listening to his music on his walk home. Right now, Bob was bobbing his head to beat of his iPhone. While he was enjoying his tunes, he noticed a figure wearing a Dark Cloak, with purple accents, over his normal clothing was approaching him. Bob only rolled his eyes, and decided to move to the street to avoid him. However, the approaching man seem to try and move on his path. Bob thought it was a coincidence at first, but the man kept on getting on his path over and over again. Bob only closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, since this man's actions were starting to creep and annoy him. He then turned off his music, and took off his headphones, and marched towards the man to give to quickly shove past him. When he got close to him, the cloaked man suddenly punched him in the gut, causing Bob to react with shock. A couple of people noticed this and some actually tried to help. The cloaked man however picked Bob up, and began running away, carrying Bob over his shoulder. He then ran to an alley and jumped over a large wall, and threw Bob against the other side.
"You have my congrats sir. You're going to be the first test subject of our new Frenzy! If you're wondering why you, it's because this frenzy requires a strong Card Battler, and you're a perfect pick for us. This won't hurt a bit." The Cloaked Man said, in a sinister tone.
Bob only looked up, as the Cloaked man smiled sinisterly, as he then pulled out a dark Battle Spirits card, and threw at Bob's chest. Upon contact, the card gave out a purple fire, that began to surround Bob, causing him to scream out in pain.
"Wow! This is quite a reaction! Now here's what I want you to do." The Cloaked Man then pulled out a picture of a pale-skinned girl with wavy white hair, and silver eyes. "See this girl? She's going to try and be a nuisance to us. I want you to stop her. Find her and erase her." The Cloaked man said.
Bob then looked up, withstanding all of the pain, and chose his next words carefully, before his mind went blank. "Screw…. you!" Bob said in defiance as he then collapsed due to the pain.
"A fighter till the end. I like that. Show some of that spirit when you catch your prey." The Cloaked Man said, as he then vanished into thin air. As for Bob, his eyes opened up, with eyes having red irises, and was now breathing Dark Vapor somehow.
(Back with Florina)
"Ms.! Ms.! Are you okay? Wake up." A female voice echoed through Florina's head. Florina slowly opened her eyes. When she woke up, she was greeted with the face of a white haired, and silvered eyed woman, who looked to be around Florina's age, but happened to look even more mature than her.
Florina only blinked a couple of times. "Am I dead?" Florina asked.
"Errr…no." The white-haired girl said.
"Good, because you look like an angel. No seriously, you actually look like the angel from a picture book that my Uncle read to me when I was five. I mean, I came to the conclusion that everyone's angel will look like a certain piece of their memory. That's what I believe at least." Florina said, as she then stood up.
"Oh. That is quite interesting belief." The girl said.
Florina looked around her surroundings and found herself inside of an old warehouse. She remembered that she lived close to the sea, so this must be at the nearby docks. She could also she and hear the sea. She then turned to the person, who obviously brought her here. "So, who are you exactly? You don't look like you've lived around her." Florina asked.
"Since you kindly asked, I'll tell you. My name Elizabeth Crescent." The girl named Elizabeth said.
"Nice to meet ya, Liz! Name's Florina Rush. Can I call you Liz?" Florina asked, shaking Elizabeth's hand.
"Um…sure, why not? Also, do you happen to know where I am?" Elizabeth asked.
"The docks, but more specifically Fishermen's Hub. One of the famous fisheries in L.A."
"L.A.? What does that stand for?" Elizabeth asked.
"Um…Los Angeles. City of Angels." Florina said.
"Los Angeles. That is an interesting name for a city." Elizabeth said.
"Wait a minute. You never heard of Los Angeles. You don't look like a stupid-dense girl. Also, how do you not know the city that you're in?" Florina asked with a puzzled look.
Upon hearing her last words, Elizabeth smile disappeared and was replaced by a stern look. "Actually, helping you out was beneficial to me as well." Florina only tilted her head out of confusion. "When you lost conscious, I was there to witness it. Believe it or not, I've been searching for people like you." Elizabeth said.
"Me? I hate to disappoint you ma'am, but I think you've got the wrong person." Florina asked, scratching her head. Right now, this scenario was starting to feel awkward.
"The truth is that when I…. Wait, did you called me ma'am?" Elizabeth asked, sounding surprised.
Florina only nodded her head. "Sounds appropriate. You sound very ladylike, so the word ma'am came to my head first." Florina said.
Elizabeth only looked down, and clenched her fists. She then looked up, with her face all red and tears forming in her eyes. "I'M ONLY SEVENTEEN! I'M NOT SOME OLD HAG!" She yelled.
Florina was a little stunned of what was happening, as she just witnessed what seem to be a refined lady, starting to cry over her age. "You know it's impolite to judge a woman by her age! I'm still young, just look at me! I don't look that old! Why do people keep saying that to me! Is it fate for me to be labeled as granny forever? IT'S JUST NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR!" Elizabeth cried, as her eyes were flooded with tears.
"Hey, Liz. Don't take it the wrong way! I meant ma'am as in…. uh….um…. super polite! Awesome lady! You're radical just like Marry Poppins!" Florina said frantically, trying to cheer up her new companion.
"R-really *sniff*?" Elizabeth said, with watery eyes.
"Yes, sí! Now, lets take a couple of deep breathes, and pull yourself together while you're at it." Florina said. In that instance, Elizabeth wave her hand over her face, removing any traces of previous breakdown.
"Forgive me. I'm very sensitive when it comes to my age and looks. It's the one thing that triggers me." Elizabeth said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's like Uncle Phil says: 'The Clock is our Enemy, and will turn our bodies against us'. He has this crick in his shoulder that just won't go away." Florina said, shrugging at the thought of age.
Elizabeth took a deep breath and regained her stern expression. "As I was saying, when you fell unconscious, I came across you at that exact moment you fell unconscious. After that, the red gem that was in front of you shattered, and red aura like wyvern came out, and flew into your box on that resides on your waist. I didn't look at it, because it would be rude to look at others possession without permission." Elizabeth said, pointing at Florina's deck holder.
Florina was surprised from hearing these new facts. She then pulled out her deck, and began searching through her cards. Elizabeth noticed her deck, and wondered what they meant. After digging and searching through her deck. She then found one card that she never seen before. "Hey, check it out. It's that same dragon from my dream. Rathalos. That's a neat name for a dragon." Florina said, admiring the card art.
"Let me see that." Elizabeth then walked up to Florina and looked over her shoulder. "That's not a dragon. The Rathalos species, along with its female counterpart the Rathian, are scientifically classified as Wyverns." Elizabeth said.
"What's the difference?" Florina asked.
"That's a Wyvern. End of discussion." Elizabeth said in a stern tone.
"Ok! They're Wyverns. Geez. What her deal? I don't really see a difference." Florina thought.
"Now then, I think it's best to give you this." Elizabeth then reached into a bag, she was carrying, and took out a rectangular item, with a Ruby gem embedded in it, with markings on it. "It's called a Gate. I was told to give it to people like you." Elizabeth said.
Florina looked at the item known as the Gate, and picked it up and examined it. The Ruby gem then glowed, as if it accepted her. Suddenly, the warehouse door opened up, with a loud metallic clang, as a person stood in the doorway. It was none other than Bob Oliver. Elizabeth immediately took on an offensive stance, but Florina lowered her hand.
"Ah don't sweat so much. That's just my friend Bob. I don't what's he's doing here though. Let me go talk to him." Florina said, as he walked over to her friend. "Heya, Bob. What brings you here? Better yet, how did you even find me?" Florina asked.
While Florina kept on waving and walking towards Bob, Elizabeth thought something was wrong. She then stared at Bob, and looked closely. What she saw made her gasp in horror. Dark vapor expelling from his mouth, and an eye that glowed red. "That's impossible. Frenzy symptoms like those aren't displayed in humans. Oh no." Elizabeth realized that Florina had no idea was Frenzy was. "FLORINA, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" she yelled.
Florina only turned around, wondering why Elizabeth was yelling. She then heard Bob growling. Bob then let out a blood curdling scream and tried to punch Florina, who bended backwards in time to avoid it. She did fell on her back, but began scooting away. "What the hell, Bob! Wait a minute, why are you breathing black mist, and how come your eyes are red? Did you turn into a super villain? We can work this out, no one has to get hurt." Florina said, as she started panicking.
"There's no point in reasoning with him. Somehow, he's been infected with the monster version of Frenzy." Elizabeth said.
"Frenzy! What the heck is that!"
Bob suddenly turned his head, and looked straight at Elizabeth. "Erase. Must erase." He said. He then ran towards Elizabeth, in attempt to strike her. Elizabeth, rolled out of the way to evade his attacks, and performed a leg sweep tripping him.
"Liz. I know Bob is acting like a Resident Evil mutated boss A.I., but he's a decent man. Don't hurt him too badly! Also, be very careful! He knows karate! Or was it Kung Fu? Maybe it was Judo. I can't tell the difference. Just be careful! Florina yelled.
"Easy for you to say! You never fought the frenzy!" Elizabeth yelled, as she tried to block more of Bob's attacks.
Bob and Elizabeth were now locked into a fist fight, and Florina was actually surprise to see Elizabeth keep up with Bob, telling her that she knew how to fight. In the middle of the fighting, Frenzy Bob reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a Gate of his own, but only with a dark and sinister gem. Elizabeth automatically recognized the gem. "It's Gore Magala Nyctgem!" She yelled. Frenzy Bob then performed a force palm, sending Elizabeth flying back. "They never done that before." Elizabeth said, as she tried to get up, but was too weak.
Frenzy Bob saw that his prey was down, and began rushing in for the final blow. However, Florina got in between Bob and Elizabeth, and crossed her arms to protect Elizabeth. "Bob! I don't know what's going on here, but you better snap out of it or else I'm going to get really angry!" Florina yelled.
Frenzy Bob didn't stop, nor did he even considered Florina's words, but kept on charging and pulled back his arm for a deadly attack. Florina closed her eyes to brace the attack. Just then, a red light emitted from both her deck and the Gate she had in her hand. A red barrier then formed around the two girls, shielding them from Frenzy's Bob's attack. Frenzy Bob, only kept punching the barrier as his Gate started to glow to.
Florina opened her eyes to see what was going on, and was a little impressed. "Now this is pretty awesome." Florina said to herself. However, she knew that she couldn't just stay here forever, as she noticed the spere around her was starting to crack. While searching for a way out of this mess, she noticed that there were some words written on the back of the Gate.
She immediately recognized the words, and was starting to put it all together. "Wait a minute! Glowing card in my deck. The Ruby symbol thing called a gate. Bob has a deck. Words on this thing called a Gate! Wow. I feel incredibly stupid now." Florina said, as she mentally face-palmed herself.
"What are you talking about!? We're about to get killed!" Elizabeth yelled.
Florina only smirked. "Just sit back and watch!" She then turned her attention to Bob. Immeidately, Frenzy Bob knew what Florina was thinking and stopped attacking. He then held up his gate and faced it towards Florina, while she did the same with her Gate. The two stared at each other, and said the words to start the battle.
"Gate Open!"
Bob: Release!
Florina: ¡Soltar!
A bright light then filled the area, engulfing Florina, Elizabeth and Bob. Florina then found herself in a bright zone radiating with many colors. Suddenly, the Gate in her hand dispersed and created fire. The fire spread around her body, donning her in red robes. More fire then appeared around her arms, creating red arm braces, with orange accents. Red leg armor also with orange accents. The fire also spread to her chest to form sharp looking chest armor with two back fins, as five blue gems appeared across the center of her chest armor. The fire then finally gathered on her head, as it created a orange-red tiara for her to wear on her head. Florina then flew down as she then exited out of the warp hole, and landed safely on a platform.
Bob appeared as well, wearing only black-jet chest armor, on the other side. Florina and Bob were now standing on opposite sides above a battlefield, that had flat light brown terrain, with an outer wall surrounding the field. The sky also had a red and white color. Surrounding the enormous battlefield, were blue pods, with seats for spectating. Elizabeth apparently appeared from several blue rings, and looked down below. In front of Florina, there a large board, and her Battle Spirits deck manifested in the deck zone. The
Florina was now looking at herself, noticing the armor she was now wearing. "Wowza! This is what I call fighting with style! I definitely digging the red and orange color scheme." She then took a moment to look at the surrounding area. "This arena is like the VR battles at the shop! But only the battlefield looks so rocky!" Florina exclaimed as she looked down at the battlefield that was below her.
"Ms. Rush! What exactly is going on here!?" Elizabeth yelled from above.
"You mean you never heard of Battle Spirits!? As in the popular card game!?" Florina yelled from below.
"Wait. You're setting this fight with a card game!? This is ridiculous!" Elizabeth yelled, finding it hard to believe.
"Don't worry! It'll start to rub on ya before even know it! Trust me!" Florina yelled back, as she smiled and gave a thumb up to Elizabeth. She then drew four cards from her deck for her starting hand, and notice three Cores, and a Soul Core appeared in her reserve and five Cores in her life. "I just like the VR matches. But cooler. Now let's do this!" Florina exclaimed as she then faced Bob.
Turn 1: Frenzy Bob
Florina Rush Life: 5 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 5
Florina Rush Hand: 4 vs Frenzy Bob Hand: 4+1
Florina Rush Reserve: 3C, 1S vs Frenzy Bob Reserve: 3C, 1S
Florina Rush Trash: 0C vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 0C
C stand for Core.
S stand for Soul Core
Bob was up first and glared at Florina. "I'll erase all of you! Start Step!" Bob said, as his board lit up. "Draw Step. Main Step. Rise to serve me! I summon DarkDio-Mantis from my hand at LV 1!" Bob declared as placed a green card on the board. He then moved three of his core from his reserve to the trash for the cost, and one core on the card.
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 4C – 4C = 0C
Frenzy Bob Trash: 0C + 3C = 3C
DarkDio-Mantis
[Cost: 3] [Reduction: 2 Green]

LV 3 (6C): 7000BP
[Color: Green] [Symbols: 1 Green]
(This represents the current statistic of a Spirit) DarkDio-Mantis (1S): Level 1 [3000BP]
A giant emerald gem then appeared in the sky, on Bob's side of the field. The emerald then shattered as energy gathered into one place and the creature appeared. The DarkDio Mantis had the body of a mantis, but with dark green body and purple eyes. However, it's arms were the appendages of Venus Fly Traps, and even its rear exterior resembled a Venus Fly Trap. The Mantis gave out a his, readying itself for combat. Blue label then appeared next to showing it was at LV 1 at 3000BP.
"Ugh! That is even uglier than a Seltas. Such a ghastly creature." Elizabeth said.
"You better get a doggie bag then, because that just the tip of the Ice berg." Florina said. This caused Elizabeth's face to turn a little green.
"Turn end." Bob said, as there was nothing else he could do.
Turn 2: Florina Rush
Florina Rush Life: 5 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 5
Florina Rush Hand: 4+1 vs Frenzy Bob Hand: 4
Florina Rush Reserve: 3C+1C, 1S vs Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0
Florina Rush Trash: 0 vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 3C
"Alright! Time to shine! Start Step! Dra-, whoops. Almost forgot the core step. Player who goes first skips both core and attack step. Core step gives me an extra core to boot. Draw Step!" In Florina's reserve, another core magically appeared there bringing her total core to five, and that includes the Soul Core. (I'll get into that later). She then looked at the cards in her hand and smiled.
"Now then! This should get me off on a good start! I summon Veloci-Harpe from my hand at LV 3!" Florina shouted, throwing a red card on her board. She then placed the Soul Core into the trash, and all of the remaining core onto her spirit.
Veloci-Harpe
[Cost: 1] [Reduction: None]
[Type: Spirit] [Family: Terra Dragon, Machine Dragon]
LV 1 (1C): 1000BP

Florina Rush Reserve: 4C – 4C – 1S = 0C
Florina Rush Trash: 0C + 1S = 0C, 1S
A Ruby gem then materialized on Florina's side of the field and shattered. The creature that manifested was small white mechanical raptor with red lines on its body. It had a sleek figure, and had a modified back, containing rocket booster. It had two claws on it's hands, two blue eyes, and a red gem on its chest. Its distinguishing feature were the sharp mechanical sickle like talons on it's feet. The raptor landed on the ground, and moved its body and gave out a small screech.
"Unlike the bug, that raptor looks actually better, and even more advanced. I wonder if there is a 'Great' version of it." Elizabeth said to herself, liking the look of Florina's spirit a lot more.
Florina then gave off a smirked and stared directly and Bob. "Attack Step! ¡Correr! Veloci-Harpe!" Florina then rotated the spirit's card 90 degrees, to a horizontal position, putting it in the exhausted state. The mechanical raptor gave off a battle screech and began running across the battlefield.
"Take it from life." Frenzy Bob said. Veloci-Harpe ran past the Mantis and jumped towards Frenzy Bob. A red dome appeared around Frenzy Bob, as the raptor slashed its sharped mechanical talons against the dome multiple times, shattering it. One of the cores on Frenzy Bob's armor then shattered, as he then stepped back as if he took damage.
Frenzy Bob Life: 5 – 1 = 4
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0 + 1C = 1C
"I activate Veloci-Harpe's effect! When this little fella takes one of your lives at LV 2 or 3, I get to draw a card. I hope you're ready Bob, because there's more where that came from!" Florina yelled. She then ferociously grabbed the top card of her deck and added it to her hand.
Bob only remained silent as he stared intensely at Florina. "Oh, come on, Bob! This is the part where you say 'Yeah, sure', or 'Whatever'! It's just not the same! Come one, say something!" Florina pouted.
"I'll erase all of you! End your turn!" Frenzy Bob said menacingly.
"Anything but that! By the time this is all over, you'll be back to the boring bland self in no time! Turn End!" Florina yelled.
"He prefers him to be boring? What odd friends. At least I hope they'll be friends after this battle." Elizabeth said.
Turn 3: Frenzy Bob
Florina Rush Life: 5 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 4
Florina Rush Hand: 5 vs Frenzy Bob Hand: 4
Florina Rush Reserve: 0C vs Frenzy Bob Rerserve: 1C + 1C + 3C
Florina Rush Trash: 1S vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 3C – 3C
Bob just began his turn with the same menacing look in his eye. "Start Step. Core Step Draw Step." Bob looked at the card and proceed to a new step. "Refresh Step." At that moment, all the core in his trash moved back to his reserve.
"Main Step. I summon Kacchumushi at LV 1." Bob declared playing his card.
Kacchumushi
[Cost: 0] [Reductions: None]
[Type: Spirit] [Family: Shell Insect]
LV 1 (1C): 1000BP
LV 2 (3C): 3000BP
[Color: Green] [Symbols: 1 Green]
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 5C – 1C = 4C
Kacchumushi (1C): Level 1 [1000BP]
Another emerald appeared in the sky, as a tiny green kabuto beetle with, a yellow studded, green dome armor shell on its back. Elizabeth thought the bug looked cute in a way.
"Next I deploy The Stronghold of Demonic Insects nexus at LV 1." Frenzy Bob declared.
The Stronghold of Demonic Insects
[Cost: 5] [Reductions: 2 Green, 1 Blue]
[Type: Nexus]
LV 1: (0C)
LV 2: (2C)
[Color: Green/Blue] [Symbols: 1 Green, 1 Blue]
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 4C – 3C = 1C
Frenzy Bob Trash: 0C + 3C = 3C
The Stronghold of Demonic Insects (0C): Level 1
Behind Frenzy Bob, a gigantic tree containing a nest of webs and lights, appeared as it rustled creepily behind him.
"What is that thing?" Elizabeth asked.
Suddenly a bright orb then appeared next Elizabeth startling her and spoke in a deep male voice. "That is a Nexus. A card that affects the entire battlefield, supporting your spirits with their unique effects." The orb said.
"What are you?" Elizabeth asked.
"I'm just known as the Orb. My job is to inform those who wish to know, or to narrate the slow-moving turns when no one is talking. So, if you need to know something, feel free to ask." The Orb said, as it vanished.
"That was weird." Elizabeth said, as she got up and sat down on a comfier seat.
Frenzy Bob, then continued with his turn. "Attack Step. DarkDio-Mantis, attack! I activating its Rush ability! Since my Nexus has a blue symbol, DarkDio-Mantis is treated at its highest level for this attack." Frenzy Bob declared. The Mantis had a blue aura around it's body, as it raised its arms feeling even more powerful, as it charged directly at Florina.
DarkDio-Mantis (1C): Level 3(For Battle) [7000BP]
On Florina side, Veloci-Harpe had its head drooping and looked tired. Apparently, there was only one thing for her to do. "Take it from life!" Florina yelled. The Mantis ran past Florina's spirits and the green dome that surrounded her. One of Florina's cores on her chest shattered, and she felt the actual impact of the attack. This caused her to lose her balance and fall on her back. "Ow. These attacks feel way more intense then they do in the VR matches. I actually kind of like it. It's like when I lose the life, I feel even more fired up. Also, since lives that I lose go to my Reserve, it's a great way to build up core. Florina said, as her orange eyes seemed to glow intensely
Florina Rush Life: 5 – 1 = 4
Florina Rush Reserve: 0C + 1C = 1C
Bob only glared at Florina as he continued his turn. "The Stronghold of Demonic Insects has another effect, when…" Bob was then cut off by Florina.
"Don't bother explaining. I already know the effect of your nexus. Whenever one of your Spirits with the 'Rush' ability decreases my life, you get to add one core from void to your reserve. We've been through this same dance over and over again. Don't you remember?" Florina asked, smiling.
"Turn end." Bob said.
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 1C + 1C = 2C
Turn 4: Florina Rush
Florina Rush Life: 4 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 4
Florina Rush Hand: 5+1 vs Frenzy Bob Hand: 3
Florina Rush Reserve: 1C + 1C, + 1S vs Frenzy Bob Reserve: 2C
Florina Rush Trash: 1S – 1S vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 3C
"I really starting to hate this Frenzy. It's taken the one best part of you, and completely removed it turning you from an Unique Bland dude, to a Boring Bland dude. Look Bob! After I win this, I'm going to snap you back to your senses so hard, that you'll end up remebering your past lifetimes! Start Step! Core Step! Draw Step!" Florina then drew her card and was happy with what she got. "And some cards you gave me today, are going to help me with this. Refresh Step!" Not only did Florina's core moved back from her trash to her Reserve, but also her Veloci-Harpe card, rotated to it's vertical position. The spirit on the field looked rejuvenated.
"Main Step! I bring Veloci-Harpe down to level 1." Florina said, moving three cores that were on Veloci-Harpe back to her Reserve. The mechanical raptor felt weakened as it lost strength. Right now, she had a total of six core in her reserve, including her Soul Core.
Veloci-Harpe (4C – 3C = 1C): Level 1 [1000BP]
Florina Rush Reserve: 2C + 3C = 5C, 1S
"First, I'll summon Bladra at Level 2, at cost zero. Since I have two red symbols on my field, and my Jinrai Dragon has a cost reduction of two red symbols, I can summon using only one core!"
Bladra
[Cost: 0] [Reduction: None]
[Type: Spirit] [Family: Winged Dragon]
LV 1 (1C): 1000BP
LV 2 (2C): 2000BP
LV 3 (3C): 3000BP
[Color: Red] [Symbols: 1 Red]
Jinrai Dragon
[Cost: 3] [Reduction: 2 Red]

LV 1 (1C): 3000BP
LV 2 (3C): 4000BP
LV 3 (4C): 5000BP
[Color: Red] [Symbols: 1 Red]
Florina Rush Reserve: 5C – 5C = 0C, 1S – 1S – 0
Florina Rush Trash: 0 + 1C = 1C
Bladra (2C): Level 2 [2000BP]
Jinrai Dragon (2C, 1S): Level 2 [4000BP]
Two red Rubies then appeared on Florina's side of the field, and then shattered. The first spirit, the Bladra, resembled a small cute little yellow dragon chick, with two little wings. The second spirit looked more ferocious. It happened to be a quadrupedal black Dragon, the size of a car, wearing red samurai plating armor, and two black wings. Around it's entire body, there were sharp blades, one on it's head, attached to it's wings, the top of it's front feet, and three on it's tail. The dragon gave out a small roar preparing itself for battle. Elizabeth thought the Bladra looked really cute, while the Jinrai Dragon looked amazing, and was a little surprised that it was wearing armor.
Florina then smirked. "Attack Step! Go, get him Bladra!" Florina yelled pointing her finger at Bob. The Bladra nodded and then started running.
Frenzy Bob then pulled out a card from his hand. "Flash Timing! I swift summon DarkMachG from my hand! With its 'Rush' ability, one opposing with a cost of 2 or less is destroy! Disappear, Veloci-Harpe! Also, I'll block with DarkMachG!" Bob yelled
DarkMachG
[Cost: 2] [Reductions: 1 Green]
[Type: Spirit] [Family: Parasite]
LV 1 (1C): 2000BP
LV 2 (2C): 3000BP
[Color: Green] [Symbols: 1 Green]
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 2C – 2C = 0C
Frenzy Bob Trash: 3C + 1C = 4C
DarkMachG (1C): Level 1 [2000BP]
Another emerald appeared on the field, as a flying beetle, with a black and light green body, with a sharp horn on the front appeared. It had two blue eyes, and two little claws. The bug then flew towards Veloci-Harpe and struck it at a high speed, causing it to exploded. The bug then flew toward Bladra to block it. The little dragon breathed fire at the bug, managing to singe its wings. However, the DarkMachG managed to strike the Bladra in its final moments, as both spirits exploded. Spirits with the same BP will end up destroying each other.
Florina Rush Reserve: 0C + 2C + 1C = 3C
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0C + 1C = 1C
"Bladra! Veloci-Harpe! I really like those guys." Florina said, sounding a little sad. However, she shook it off. "No time to waver now. ¡Correr, Jinrai Dragon! It's effect when attacking activates! It gets an additional 3000BP for this battle!" Florina yelled.
"Take it from…" Bob was about to allow the attack through until Florina shouted.
"Not so fast buster!" Florina yelled, as she quickly raised her hand. "You aren't losing a life! Jinrai Dragon has the Soul Core, meaning that he gets the ability True Clash! Now let's fight, Kacchumushi!" Florina yelled, as she pointed at the little bug.
Frenzy Bob only grunted as he was forced to block with Kacchumushi. "Block, Kacchumushi!"
The little kabuto beetle then took off and flew towards the War Dragon. It was immediately trampled and exploded, as Jinrai Dragon let out a triumphant roar.
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 1C + 1C = 2C
"Mr. Orb. What just happened? Ms. Rush said something about clashing." Elizabeth asked.
The Orb then appeared next Elizabeth. "Very well. I shall elaborate. 'Clash'. An ability that is exclusive to Red Decks. When a Spirit with 'Clash or True-Clash' attacks, if possible, the opponent must block with their Spirits. In short, the ability of 'Clash' forces your opponents to use their Spirits to block, instead of preserving them for later turns. True-Clash however works on Ultimates, but I'll explain that when one shows up. Goodbye now." The Orb said.
"Ok, so it's a forced fight. Also, how did the frenzied man manage to summon spirits on Ms. Rush's turn?" Elizabeth asked.
"That there, was the ability 'Swift'. It's an ability exclusive to green spirits, which allows them to be summoned during the Flash Step, or Flash Timing. The Flash Step occurs when a spirit declares an attack. During the Flash Step, the player that gets attack has the first right to use a flash effect from their hand or field, if conditions are satisfied. After that, the attacking player gets to use a flash as well, and back to the blocker." The Orb said.
"So, since Ms. Rush declared an attack, her opponent summoned a nasty bug using its flash ability: 'Swift'?" Elizabeth asked.
"Correct. However, all core must be used from the Reserve for both Cost and for the Spirit. I believe that's all the questions you have, so I'll be going now. Ta-ta." The Orb said as it flew away.
Florina looked at the field and her field and was satisfied. "Turn end."
Turn 5: Frenzy Bob
Florina Rush Life: 4 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 4
Florina Rush Hand: 3 vs Frenzy Bob: 2+1
Florina Rush Reserve: 3C vs Frenzy Bob Reserve: 2C + 1C + 4C
Florina Rush Trash: 1C vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 4C – 4C
Frenzy Bob finished all of the necessary steps and immediately went to his Main Step. "The time has come to erase you for good!" Frenzy Bob yelled.
"Enough with the erasing already! It's getting on my nerves!" Florina yelled. However, she new what was coming. Elizabeth could also feel that the tension in the air had suddenly changed.
"Sickle of Darkness and Despair! Cut down all, and etch in your mark of fear! I summon The BlackInsectDemonLord Diabolica-Mantis!" Bob chanted, as he held up a green card.
The BlackInsectDemonLord Diabloica-Mantis
[Cost: 6] [Reductions: 3 Green]
[Type: Spirit] [Family: Parasite]
LV 1 (1C): 6000BP
LV 2 (3C): 10000BP
The BlackInsectDemonLord Diabolica-Mantis (3C): Level 2 [10000BP]
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 7C – 7C = 0C
Frenzy Bob Trash: 0C + 4C = 4C
In front of Bob's field, the ground cracked into pieces. Suddenly, two large sharp sickle appendages of Mantis emerged from the ground. A yellow eye glisten beneath the rubble, and the beast burst from the ground revealing it to be a gigantic Mantis monster. Its body was Dark Green, with multiple sharp teeth like blades on its forearms and four legs. It had two yellow eyes, and armor around its shoulders, with green gems. It also had a pair of bug wings on it's back for flight. The Mantis took flight and swung it's forearms, and landed on the ground. It then let out a bug like hum, which sounded terrifying in its own way. Florina only gritted her teeth seeing the creature. Elizabeth let out a little shriek.
"Now that's a bug I really don't want to mess with. However, I wonder if it could take on the Seltas Queen." Elizabeth said. She then fought of the Seltas Queen and the Diabolic-Mantis going into a death battle for superiority.
Florina only stared at the mantis. "His Key Spirit is finally here. That bug is always wrecking me. I better step it up right now if I want to save Bob." She thought to herself. Bob then went on the offensive.
"Attack Step. Cut her down, Diabolica-Mantis!" the giant mantis then began crawling up towards her arming it's forearms. "I activate Diabolica-Mantis' effect! Whenever it attacks, one opposing Spirit is exhausted. While you don't have any spirits to exhaust, I can still activate the 'Rush' effect. Since I have a blue symbol, I get to draw two cards from my deck, and then I must discard two." Bob said drawing and then discarding.
"I'm really starting to get tired of those 'Rush' abilities! Flash Timing! Magic, Victory Fire! With its effect, I can either destroy two opposing Spirits with 3000BP or less, or I can destroy one Spirit with 3000BP or less, and one opposing Nexus. I'll use the one core from Jinrai Dragon to ensure the cost. I'm going to burn down your precious Stronghold and your little Mantis to boot!" Florina yelled. By doing do, Jinrai Dragon was weakened and was brought down to level one.
Victory Fire
[Cost: 5] [Reductions: 2 Red]
[Type: Magic] [Color: Red]
Jinrai Dragon (2C – 1C = 1C, 1S): Level 1 [3000BP]
Florina Rush Reserve: 3C – 3C = 0
Florina Rush Trash: 1C + 3C + 1C = 5C
The card then generated a Fiery V, that had electricity course through it. The V was then sent towards Bob's side of the field, as it first incinerated his DarkDio-Mantis, and then put his Nexus on fire, destroying both of his cards.
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0C + 1S = 0C, 1S
"Diabolica-Mantis' attack is still valid, so you'll lose a life from it's attack!" Bob yelled.
"It can't be helped. Take it from life!" Florina shouted as a green dome appeared around Florina. The Mantis then slashed the dome with it's fore arms, shattering it. Florina held onto the rails of the board to brace herself.
Florina Rush Life: 4 – 1 = 3
"You're not safe yet. With it's Level 2 effect, whenever Diabolica Mantis diminishes your life, one more core is moved from your life to the reserve." Bob yelled. The mantis then landed in front of Florina, and spewed green acid at her. This caused another dome to form around her, which shattered in the end.
Florina Rush Life: 3 – 1 = 2
Florina Rush Reserve: 0C + 2C = 2C
"Arrgh! I really hate that effect." Florina scowled.
"Turn End." Frenzy Bob stated.
Turn 6: Florina Rush
Florina Rush Life: 2 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 4
Florina Rush Hand: 2+1 vs Frenzy Bob Hand: 2
Florina Rush Reserve: 2C + 1C + 5C vs Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0C, 1S
Florina Rush trash 5C – 5C vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 4C
"I'm may be in a pinch but, I'm not stopping now! Start Step! Core Step! Draw Step! This should do for now. Refresh Step! Main Step! I summon one Light-Bladra and a normal Bladra from my hand, both at Level 1." Florina declared.

Bladra (1C): Level 1 [1000BP]
Florina Rush Reserve: 8C – 2C = 6C
Two more Bladras then appeared, but one Bladra had white skin instead. Elizabeth thought that these Bladras were a subspecies of the Bladras.
"Next, I'll use some magic. Extra Draw! This card lets me draw two cards from my deck. After that, I reveal the top card of my deck. If happens to be a Red Spirit, I add it to the hand." The top card of Florina's deck was flipped face-up and revealed the Rathalos card. "Alright! Since this dragon…"
"Wyvern!" Elizabeth shouted.
Florina only looked at Elizabeth, wondering why it was such a big deal. "Since this WYVERN is a Red Spirit, it goes to my hand. While I'm at it, I'll bring both Jinrai Dragon and normal Bladra to level 2." Three cards were finally replenished into her hand, and the Extra Draw card depicted a Dragon surround by red aura, as two Battle Spirit cards circled him.
Extra Draw
[Cost: 5] [Reductions: 3 Red]

Florina Rush: 6C – 4C = 2C
Florina Rush Trash: 0C + 2C = 2C
Florina looked at her field. Right now, she only had three Spirits. If she were to make a full attack right now, she would only bring Bob's life too one, and give him a chance for a counter attack, and she would have no Spirits to block with. "Turn end. I have to look for the opening." Florina said.
"True. We hunters also wait for the opportunity to strike. A tip that most Adept Hunters know." Elizabeth said.
Turn 7: Frenzy Bob
Florina Rush Life: 2 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 4

"I'll destroy you right now! I summon Kacchumushi and Shinobikogane at Level 1! Shinobkiogane's "when summoned" effect activates! I add one core from the void to this Spirit! However, since I used the Soul Core to pay the Cost, I add one more core to Kacchumushi, and I'll raise him to Level 2! However, I'll take the core from Shinbikogane, and put it in my Reserve. Frenzy Bob declared. Shinbikogane resembled a shell beetle, with large pincers with chains attached to them.

LV 1 (1C): 2000BP

Kacchumushi: (3C): Level 2 [3000BP]
"You will now be erased! Attack Step! Diabolica-Mantis attacks! Its effect when attacking activates! I exhaust your Jinrai Dragon!" Bob yelled. A green aura surrounded Jinrai Dragon, as it looked tired, as it then laid down on the ground on it's stomach. "Flash Timing! I use Toughness Recovery! I add 2000BP to Diabolica-Mantis. And since it has over 10000BP, it's refreshed!" Bob yelled.
Toughness Recovery

[Type: Magic] [Color: Green]
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 1C – 1C = 0C
Frenzy Bob Trash: 2C + 1C, 1S = 3C, 1S
Toughness Recovery showed a four-armed monkey holding four emeralds in his hands and gaining energy. A light green energy appeared around the Mantis, as it felt rejuvenated. It's card also turned from the horizontal position to the vertical position.
The BlackInsectDemonLord Diabolica-Mantis (3C): Level 2 [10000BP + 2000BP = 12000BP]
Elizabeth was starting to realize his play. "I see. By refreshing his Spirit, he can attack again. Also, when it attacks, it exhausts one of Ms. Rush's Spirits, preventing it from blocking. Plus, he's got two extra Spirits. So, even if Ms. Rush blocks this next attack, she won't have any means to hold off another wave of attacks. Death by card game. I always thought I would get burned, zapped, or even dragon breathed to death. But in the end, it was death by card game." Elizabeth said. She felt a slight hint of dread.
"We're not kicking the bucket just yet, Liz! Alright Bladra! I'm counting on ya!" Florina said. The Bladra chirped and ran towards the gigantic mantis.
"Everything you do is useless! I'll be the winner as soon as Diabolica-Mantis attacks again!" Frenzy Bob yelled, as he laughed sinisterly. Diabolica-Mantis was now trying to attack the Bladra that was jumping side to side to stall it long as possible.
"Not happening! Flash Timing! Magic, Fire Wall! By destroying Bladra, this Attack Step is over! Sorry Bladra." Florina said, playing her magic.
Fire Wall
[Cost: 4] [Reductions: 2 Red, 1 White]
[Type: Magic] [Color: Red]
Florina Rush Reserve: 2C – 2C + 2C = 2C
Florina Rush Trash: 2C + 2C = 4C
The Bladra then erupted into fire, causing a wall of fire was raised across the field, forcing Frenzy Bob's spirits to fallback. "Turn end." He said with some hints of displeasure.
Turn 8: Florina Rush
Florina Rush Life: 2 vs Frenzy Bob Life: 4
Florina Rush Hand: 2+1 vs Frenzy Bob Hand: 0
Florina Rush Reserve: 2C + 1C + 4C vs Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0C
Florian Rush Trash: 4C – 4C = 0 vs Frenzy Bob Trash: 3C, 1S
Florina went by her Main Step, and Core step, and was currently on the draw step. She then looked at the Rathalos card in her hand. She then read the effects, and realize she could still win. She had enough core, and almost all the right cards in hand. She just needed one more. Before drawing, she took a deep breath, and yell with all her might. "I'M GOING TO BE THE VICTOR OF THIS MATCH! DDDRRRRAWWWWWW SSSTTTTEEEEEPPPPPP!" She yelled as she forcefully drew her card.
"I never seen someone draw a card that dramatically before." Elizabeth said sweat dropping a little.
Florina then looked at the card she drew, and grinned ear to ear. "IT'S HERE! Refresh Step!" Her spirits stood up and had the will to move forward. "Main Step! I bring Jinrai Dragon to Level 1." Florina declared. The dragon drooped its body, as it became weakened, but it didn't mind.
Florina Rush Reserve: 7C + 2C = 9C
Jinrai Dragon (2C – 2C, 1S = 1S): Level 1 [3000BP]
"Ruler of the Sky! King of Fire! Descend from above and rule with might! I summon SkyWyvernKing Rathalos!" Florina chanted, as she held a Red card into the sky, and shot out a ray of red light.

Florina Rush Reserve: 9C – 5C = 4C
SkyWyvernKing Rathalos (1C): Level 1 [5000BP]
The clouds from above, opened up revealing a light blue sky. Just then, a red wyvern flew from above and swooped past Florina, causing a gust wind to blow. The wyvern then landed on the ground and let out a roar. It was a bipedal wyvern, with a spiny, armored hide, that was red and had black markings. It had sharp talons and two blue eyes, a spiked tail and its wings had an ornate pattern. "What do you know, it really is a wyvern. An awesome wyvern! Nice to meet ya Rath!" Florina exclaimed dazzled by the Rathalos' appearance.
The Rathalos in turn roared in response to Florina's greeting. "Is Ms. Rush communicating with that dragon?" She said. For a moment there, it looked like a human and monster understood each other.
"Now then, I activate Rathalos effect! On the turn it was summoned, you can treat the non-red cost reduction symbols of one Brave that's in my hand, as red reductions symbols. So, The FangEmperor Cerbelord, that normally has two blue and two red reductions symbols, has four red reduction symbols instead!" Florina yelled.
"Brave!?" Frenzy Bob and Elizabeth said together.
"Come forth, The FangEmperor Cerbelord!" Florina shouted.
The FangEmperor Cerbelord

The Fang Emperor Cerbelord (1C): Level 1 [5000BP]
A blue sapphire appeared on Florina's side of the field as a large black dog like creature appeared. It was wearing black and red armor, blue spiked jewels on the sides and had yellow claws. It was wearing a knight's helm with a blue sapphire jewel on the top.
(Insert Battle Spirits Brave OST Track 14)
"Now, FangEmperor Cerbelord! Brave with Sky Wyvern King Rathalos! Become a Brave Spirit at Level 2!" Florina declared. She then stacked the Cerbelord card on top of the Rathalos card.
SkyWyvernKing Rathalos [Brave-Spirit]
Brave: The FangEmperor Cerbelord
[Cost: 6 + 5= 11] [Family: Grand Monster, Ancient Dragon]

[Color: Red, Blue] [Symbols: 1 Red, 1 Blue]
Florina Rush Reserve: 1C – 1C = 0C
Cerbelord then began running across the battlefield and sprouted armored wings with the same color scheme, while Rathalos flew into the air. Cerbelord then jumped into the air, as he curled his main body up, which glowed blue and disappeared, leaving only the two armored wings. The Rathalos flew below the armored wings, and the armored wings attached to the organic wings of the Rathalos. The Rathalos then landed on the ground, now equipped with armored wings. More armor then materialized on it's tail and underside, fully equipping it for battle. The Rathalos' eyes glistened blue and let out a loud battle roar.
"She just combined both of the monsters!" Elizabeth exclaimed. The Orb then came down to enlighten her.
"Brave. It is the fourth type of card after Spirits, Magic and Nexus. Their purpose is to combine with other spirits and enhance their strength and give them their abilities. Braves open up unlimited possibilities for combinations with different spirits. If players brave with the correct spirit, it may result in devastating results." Orb said, as it then floated back up.
"He sure is really reliable when it comes to explaining things." Elizabeth said.
Florina then moved on the offensive. "I exchange the Soul Core from Jinrai Dragon to Rathalos. Attack Step! ¡Remontarse! Rathalos! Since Rathalos is braved, I can target attack one of your Spirits or Ultimates! I have my eyes set on your Kacchumushi!" she yelled. The Rathalos roared once more and flew into the sky and dived towards Kacchumushi field.
Rathalos (3C – 1C + 1S = 2C, 1S): Level 2: 12000BP
Jinrai Dragon (1S + 1C – 1S = 1C): Level 1: 3000BP
"Kacchumushi, face it!" Frenzy Bob yelled.
Rathalos then breathed multiple fire balls at the little bug who able to weave it's away around the attacks, and was now flying around the Rathalos, like most annoying bugs do. "I activate Cerbelord's brave effect! Once per turn, whenever it attacks, I can discard the top five cards of my deck, allowing me to refresh the Brave Spirit! Stand up once more, Rathalos!" Florina yelled.
Rathalos was then surrounded with a blue aura feeling even better than before. It then tail-whipped Kacchumushi, sending it flying into a wall, causing it to explode.
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 0C + 3C = 3C
"Go, Light-Bladra!" The little dragon let out a screech and ran forward.
"I'll block with Shinobikogane!" Frenzy Bob shouted.
The shell insect let out a hiss and ran forwards to the Bladra. The Bladra jumped for an aerial attack, but cut down by the bug, getting destroyed in the process.
Florina Rush Reserve: 0C + 1C
"I'm not done yet! Rathalos, get in there! With since it's brave, I target attack your Diabolica-Mantis!" Florina yelled.
"That won't matter! I won't let you take two of my lives with that double symbol attack! Even if Diabolica-Mantis falls, you won't be able to destroy all my life! It's over for you!" Frenzy Bob yelled.
The two Spirits clashed with each other, with the Rathalos attacking with both it's talons and fire breath, and the mantis using its forearms to cut open the dragon, in an epic aerial combat fight.
"I said once, and I'll say it again! I'm going to be the victor of this match! I activate Rathalos effect! King's Brave!" Florina yelled. She then moved the Soul Core from the Rathalos to the trash. "By sending the Soul Core to the trash, I'm allow to separate a Brave from Rathalos, and refresh it. After that, regardless if a Brave was separated or not, I can summon another Brave from my hand at no Cost and Brave it with Rathalos, as well as add 5000BP to Rathalos for this battle only!" Florina then separated the Cerbelord Brave from Rathalos, and placed the core in her reserve on it in the vertical position.
In mid-fight, the Cerbelord separated from Rathalos, and went back to the ground. Florina then grabbed another card from her hand. "Appear! The BladeWolf Beo-Wulf! Brave with Rathalos!" Florian yelled.
Florina Rush Reserve: 1C – 1C = 0

The card that Florina held in her hand, shot out a green energy ray. From the ray, a humanoid Wolf with white and brown fur, wearing green samurai armor, and two sharp blades came running out. It then began running at fast past towards the battle, and its body disappeared leaving only it's two blades. The Rathalos then swooped down and the blades immediately attached to its talons. The Rathalos then roared as it then aimed its new weapons at the Mantis.
"First, she gave the Rathalos armor, and now she has it wielding Dual Daggers!? This is unheard of, but quite the site!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
Diabolica-Mantis attempted to strike the Rathalos, but missed as the Rathalos flew back, and ascended higher into the sky. It then had its eyes locked on to the Mantis, and dived towards it at supersonic speeds, with its talons facing forward. Its talons dug into the Mantis, poisoning it, and the Blades it wielded also caused extra cutting damage to it's body. The Rathalos then flew up into the air, as the giant mantis exploded.
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 3C + 3C = 6C
Florina then had a smug look on her face. "Don't think you're safe now, just because the attack's over. BladeWolf Beo-Wulf's brave effect activates! Whenever an opposing Spirit is destroyed by comparing BP, two cores from your Life move to your Reserve!" Florina yelled, pointing at Frenzy Bob.
"I-impossible!" Frenzy Bob yelled.
"Possible!" Florina said cheerfully.
Rathalos then performed a U-turn in the sky, and perform the same attack on Bob. A Red Dome appeared around him, as the Rathalos struck its talons and blades against the sphere and shattered, it doing a lot of damage to Bob. Suddenly, Bob's head started to hurt. "W-what's going on?" He then held his head in pain.
Frenzy Bob Life: 4 – 2 = 2
Frenzy Bob Reserve: 6C + 2C = 8C
"He fighting the Frenzy! Hurry, while you still have a chance!" Elizabeth yelled to Florina.
"Time to Wake up, Bob! Cerbelord! Jinrai Dragon! Full attack! Snap Bob back to his senses, and hit him hard!" Florina yelled.
Both Cerbelord and Jinrai Dragon then roared as both of them charged at Bob. "Take it from Life!" Bob yelled. A blue and red colored sphere appeared around Bob, as Cerbelord punched the sphere, causing the blue portion to get destroy, and Jinrai Dragon breathed fire, destroying the last life. Bob then screamed as he was thrown back off his stand, and transported out of the Extreme Zone.
Frenzy Bob Life: 2 – 2 = 0
Winner: Florina Rush
"Victory achieved! I'm the wildest battler!" Florina yelled, as she posed. Her spirits also let out their victory roars, standing triumphantly.
(Real World)
Back at the Warehouse, a bright light appeared, as Bob was sent flying back and landed on the ground, while Florina and Elizabeth appeared on their feet from the light. Florina then saw her friend on the ground and immediately ran over to him.
"Oh my gosh! I think killed Bob!" Florina shrieked as she looked down at his limp body.
Elizabeth however was a bit calmer to the situation and raised Bob's right hand, and place two of her fingers on his wrist. "Don't worry. He has pulse, which he's alive and well." She then opened his eye lid, revealing a jade color eye. "Plus, he shows no frenzy aliments meaning he's been cured. Still, humans shouldn't display this kind of behavior when infected with frenzy. Just health problems. Elizabeth said, as she tried thinking about it.
Florina went over to Bob, and kneel down to him. "Bob. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. I SAID WAKE UP!" Florina yelled.
Bob slowly opened his eyes and slowly sat up. Florina directly into his eyes. "Bob, say something that's not creepy." She said.
"Florina. I'm not going to question how I ended up in this warehouse. All I know is that you were involved with it. But in a good way." Bob said, as he looked around.
"You're back! I'm so happy!" Florina yelled, as he hugged Bob, who was quite neutral about it.
"Florina. Why are you hugging me so hard? Also, be considerate of every internal organ inside of me." Bob said, in a neutral tone.
"It's a very long story. To sum it all up…*yawn*…it's quite…interesting. I'm sleepy. Buenos noches." Florina said as she fell back and began snoring.
"It's quite rare to see her knocked out so easily. Must of have been intense story." Bob said. While his friend was sleeping, he then noticed Elizabeth lost in thought.
"Excuse me, ma'am?" Bob called out. Elizabeth then snap back to reality after hearing that.
"I'M NOT OLD!" she yelled, while Bob still retained his neutral look. "Sorry. I'm a little sensitive about that subject."
"I can tell. Do you know what's going on here? I hardly remember much." Bob said.
"Well, I'll try to put it lightly as I can. You tried to murdered us a couple minutes ago with a card game." Elizabeth said.
Bob only stared at Elizabeth for a couple of seconds before responding. "Makes sense to me." He said.
"What? You actually believed that you would unwilling try to murder innocents?" Elizabeth asked.
"If I'm being honest, I can't remember much, but there are traces of fighting, darkness, and aggressiveness in the memory banks. All of them revolve around the girl laying down here. I don't know what's going on, but if you want to talk, we can talk at Florina's house." Bob said, he then picked up Florina, and slung her over his shoulder. She then looked at Elizabeth, who was staring at them. "Don't get the wrong idea. We're not that type. Just normal average friends." Bob said, as he began walking out. "Man, either I haven't been working out lately, or she been eating too much." Bob said. He then put on his headphones, and began playing some relaxing music.
Elizabeth was a little stun to see this man acting so casual about everything he's been doing. She then realized he wasn't waiting for her. "Hey! Wait up! Don't you dare leave me here alone!" Elizabeth yelled, as she quickly ran towards the green haired boy.
(Florina's Subconscious)
Florina was floating in a dark space, and descended downwards, until she met face to face with the Rathalos. "Oh. Hi again. Just want to say thanks for what you did back there." Florina said. The Rathalos only looked at her and nodded.
"I guess you don't speak English. You know, being a dragon and all." Florina said.
The Rathalos angry roared at her after that last statement. Florina covered her ears, due to the loud roar. "OK! OK! You're a wyvern! Even you're picky about it!" Florina said, as she crossed her arms.
The Rathalos then nudged her a bit with it's head. "Aw. You're nice guy. I can tell we're going to get along. What do you say?" Florina then held out her hand.
For some reason, Florina could tell that the Rathalos was smiling and was in high spirits. It then let out another roar, marking the start of a new adventure. Florina enjoyed it as well, but the roar was way to loud for her ears.
End of Chapter
Author's Note
There you have it folks. My new fic! This time, it's Monster Hunter and Battle Spirits. Battle Spirits is not well known in the U.S., due to poor marketing skills of the people who tried to localize it. Chances of this card game getting localized are just as low as the localization of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed this fic, as I really put more thought into this fic. If you guys are curious about Battle Spirits, there's an anime about it on youtube. I recommend starting with 'Battle Spirits' Bashin Dan.
As for guidelines for this fic; I will only be using cards that appeared up to the anime of Burning Soul, so skills like 'Advent', 'Seal, or 'accel' won't make their appearance. This means that any cards that were revive during the 'Double Drive' era will not be used. I'll be working on my next RWBY Chronicle chapter after I post this, and then back to this fic. I'm going to alternate between the two. That's all I really have to say. Please leave a review down to let me know your thoughts on the chapter. However, please don't say 'This game is a ripoff of Vanguard! It's just Yugioh with its own style. Battle Spirits stole this game's style'. I really don't want to hear that.
Anyways, have a nice day.
