Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist Academy
Chapter 1
New Horizon
"Last call for any Duelist Academy students, the ship will be leaving port in five minutes!" A speaker blared in a port as all kinds of teens and young adults were rushing to a large ship. These young adults were duelists of the game, Yu-Gi-Oh, a card game that has swept the nation with its fun. As such, there are institutions that train duelists to compete in the higher and more prestigous tournaments. Without a proper education, even if you were a good duelist, you weren't allowed to compete in the higher tournaments. Even though this sounds easy, you would have to complete three years of school there. To show the progress of the students, each one was seperated into three different ranks, which were from the lowest to highest: Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, and Obelisk Blue. Their uniforms matched their experience at the school.
Our story begins at this ship as a new generation of students were climbing aboard the ship that would take them to the infamous First Duel Academy where some of the world famous duelists were trained. The ship was blowing its final airhorn as the port was withdrawing its bridge. All the students were safetly onboard as it began to set sail. On the ship was one of the students in a yellow uniform coat. He was wearing underneath it a blue shirt and grey pants. Along his waist however was two small boxes, which were his playing cards. This was Mikee Aeros, and he was returning for his second year. The yellow on his uniform displayed that he was of the Ra Yellow class. Among the students, most of them were wearing red uniforms as a small handful were yellow and even blue. He was walking towards the wide-open front of the ship as he saw the different students already playing the game. Most of them had a machine on their arm as well as a small visor-like device that went over their eye. These two devices were the Duel Disk and the Duel Gazer. They worked in conjunction to view the duels that two students would have with each other. With the two, you were able to see the monsters you would summon.
"Go, my Genex Ally Triforce! Finish him off!" A duelist declared as Mikee pulled from his pocket his own visor, which was a yellow metal and a blue glass. He saw a huge silver robot with a huge weapon on his right arm as he was firing onto what seemed to be some beasts as his opponent fell to the ground and his points went straight down to zero. Other duels were occuring still as it seemed to be mainly the Slifer Reds. They were most likely excited for the first few days at the Academy, but as Mikee knew, it wasn't going to be easy as they thought. Things improved at the Academy a bit, but the teaching standards changed over time.
"Yo, Mikee, you made it to the boat?" A voice asked as someone with a blue jacket which was given to the higher class, the Obelisk Blues. Adding to his description, he was a pretty tall African American wearing a green headband, a green shirt underneath and black jeans. This male was one of his friends from the previous year, a student known as Neo.
"Of course I did. I wasn't going to be late for the ceremony. What about you? I thought most of the Obelisks would have taken their exclusive plane ride to the island." Mikee answered.
"Nope, I wanted to come check to competition here. I wanted to come test some decks out, but it seems that a bunch of people already started dueling. There's not much. I'm surprised you're not dueling already." He told the duelist.
"I just boarded, but I'm confident with my Synchros. I'll get into a duel soon." Mikee answered as he started to look around himself. Just as he said this, someone approached the both of them. It was a female Slifer Red with black hair and green eyes. Instead of the usual uniform, she wore a sleeveless black top, black short-shorts with a green belt, and red shoes. On her right arm was a duel disk.
"Did you want to duel? I'm not doing anything." She answered, overhearing them. Neo looked at Mikee. "You want to or should I take this one?" He asked. Mikee shook his head as he looked to the new duelist.
"Sure, I'll take you on. I'm Mikee, and you are?"
"Luna."
The both of them walked to an open duel field as Mikee and Luna both made stances to prepare for the duel. "Let's do this!" Mikee declared as both of them held out their right arms.
"Duel Disk, set!" Both of them declared in unison as the devices on their arms reacted. It began to fold out into what was known as the Duel Disk where the duels would occur. Mikee's disk was the standard yellow while Luna was the standard red. Their visors glowed in reaction to the duel disks. "D-Gazer, set!" Neo and a couple of bystanders activated their Duel Gazers, including a certain Obelisk Blue female watched. She had long orange hair with the hair around her forehead being brown. Her clothes were of the standard Obelisk Blues with the sleevess collared white top and elbow-length blue gloves along with a short blue skirt, but she had knee-high blue boots and stockings. She looked at the battle with natural red eyes.
The Duel between Mikee and Luna will now begin. Each Duelist is at 8000 Life Points. Begin the duel.
"Ladies first, Luna." Mikee obligated, getting ready for whatever she could throw at him.
"All right, I'll begin this! With my first move, I summon Breaker, the Magical Warrior!" She called out as a red knight came out with a sword and shield. (Breaker the Magical is a Level 4 DARK Spellcaster monster with 1600 ATK and 1000 DEF.) "When Breaker is Summoned, I can add a Spell Counter to him and he gains 300 ATK!" Luna explained as Breaker's shield glowed as an orb shone on it. (Breaker is now 1900 ATK)
"Huh, a Magician deck. Not bad." Mikee complimented.
"Thanks, but I will not hold back. I place a face-down and end my turn!" Luna ended her turn with a face-down. Mikee nodded and drew his card.
"Very well, let me test your skills. I activate a Spell Card, One for One!" Mikee declared as a green card appeared on the field. "By sending a monster from my hand to the Graveyard, I'm able to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my deck or hand! I send Treeborn Frog to Special Summon my Tuner monster, Spore!" Mikee declared as a frog with wings appeared in front of the Spell Card. It shone brightly and from the light a small puff emerged. (Spore is a Level 1 WIND Plant Tuner monster with 400 ATK and 800 DEF.)
"That's not all. I activate a monster effect from my hand, the Tech Genius Warwolf!" He declared as one of his cards shone and appeared on the field as a wolf with a mechanical arm. It roared towards Luna's magician as it took a defensive stance. (T.G Warwolf is a Level 3 DARK Beast-Warrior monster with 1200 ATK and 0 DEF.) "I am able to Special Summon T.G Warwolf to my field when a Level 4 or lower monster is Special Summoned. Next, I activate the Spell Card, Tuning!" Mikee called out again as another Spell card was activated. "With this, I'm able to add a Synchron Tuner from my deck to my hand at the cost of discarding the top card of my deck to the Graveyard." Mikee declared.
Neo nodded to this as he knew Mikee's deck. It was the Synchron Warriors deck, which specialized in calling out weaker monsters to create much stronger ones. It wasn't his only specialty. Mikee was able to think ahead in duels. His Synchrons adapt to his strategy pretty well. The friend noticed the Obelisk Blue girl watching the duel too as his eyes widened a bit.
"I add Junk Synchron to my hand and discard the top card of my deck to the Graveyard." Mikee told Luna as he ended up discarding a Trap card.
"Finally, I Normal Summon my Junk Synchron!" He called forward an orange warrior with a white cape. (Junk Synchron is a Level 3 DARK Warrior Tuner with 1300 ATK and 500 DEF.) "When Junk Synchron is Normal Summoned to my field, I'm able to Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard! The monster I revive is the Treeborn Frog I sent earlier!" Mikee told her as the frog from earlier appeared on the field. (Treeborn Frog is a Level 1 WATER Aqua monster with 100 ATK and 100 DEF)
"Two tuners and two monsters?!" Luna exclaimed as Mikee nodded, the onlookers surprised at the sudden field swarm. The girl in Obelisk Blue smiled a bit. That's Mikee all right. Not much changes after a vacation. She thought.
"Now, for a Double Synchro Summon! First, I tune my Spore with my Treeborn Frog! Calling forth a machine that will forge the future, come to my side!" Mikee declared as his Spore grew in size until it shone into a singular green ring. Treeborn Frog leapt into the ring as it became a single star. A pillar of light shone through and crashed onto his field. "Synchro Summon, Formula Synchron!" Mikee called forth what seemed to be a formula racer as it was in Defense Mode. (Formula Synchron is a Level 2 LIGHT Machine Tuner monster with 200 ATK and 1500 DEF.)
"Next, I tune my Junk Synchron with my T.G Warwolf! Release from the chains that bind you, come to my side! Synchro Summon!" Mikee called once again as Junk Synchron pulled a cord from its body and became three rings as Warwolf leapt through it, becoming three stars as a huge pillar of light crashed onto the battlefield. Sky blue wings came from the light as the clanking of chains was heard. A huge dragon wrapped with some chains appeared onto the field, roaring loudly. "Iron Chain Dragon!" (Iron Chain Dragon is a Level 6 EARTH Dragon Synchro monster with 2500 ATK and 1300 DEF.) Luna took a step back as he was ready for the attack.
"Two Synchro monsters in one turn. That's Mikee all right." Neo commented as Mikee pointed to Breaker. "Iron Chain Dragon, attack Breaker!" Mikee commanded as his dragon reared its head and unleashed a grey flame as it struck Breaker and destroyed it as the resulting flame went to Luna. She guarded from the impact as her Life Points dropped. (Luna: 7400 LP) The top three cards of Luna's deck went to the Graveyard. "When Iron Chain Dragon causes Battle Damage, you are forced to discard the top three cards of your Graveyard." Mikee told her as she was forced to discard Dark Magician, a Reckless Greed, and another Breaker.
"I end my turn." He ended with the massive dragon and machine still present on the field.
"Synchrons, they're a tough deck, but I can handle it! I draw!" Luna called out and drew her card. As she looked at it, a smile came across her face. Looking at the Spellbook of Power in her hand and her face-down, things were going to get better. "I summon the Skilled Dark Magician in Attack mode!" Luna summoned as another magician came out, but this one held a rod and wore a sort of cloak with three spheres around it. (Skilled Dark Magician is a Level 4 DARK Spellcaster monster with 1900 ATK and 1700 DEF.) "He's not going to fight yet, not until I amp up his power with the Spell card, Spellbook of Power!" Luna called out as she activated the Spell card in her hand. A red book appeared in front of the Skilled Dark Magician as the spellcaster began to read it. After it was done, its body was cloaked with a red energy. "I can only target Spellcasters with this. Spellbook of Power adds 1000 ATK to my monster until the End Phase of my turn, not to mention that he gains a counter!" Luna explained as one of the orbs on the Magician's cloak glowed green. (Skilled Dark Magician: 2900 ATK) Mikee braced himself as she was getting ready for the attack.
"Go, my Skilled Dark Magician! Attack Mikee's Iron Chain Dragon!" Luna commanded as the Magician prepared its spell. The red energy it had focused into its attack, but then Luna's Trap activated as Mikee didn't look too happy about it. "Before I do so, I activate the Trap Card, Magician's Circle! This Trap can only be activated when a Spellcaster monster declares an attack. The both of us can Special Summon a monster with 2000 ATK or less. Do you have any Spellcasters in your deck?" She asked. He shook his head as a smile came across her face. "Cool, then I Special Summon my cute Dark Magician Girl in Attack Mode!" Luna called forth as a spell circle appeared next to the Skilled Dark Magician. From it, a blonde magician woman came forth, smiling. (Dark Magician Girl is a Level 6 DARK Spellcaster monster with 2000 ATK and 1700 DEF.)
"Now, before I continue, recall the cards you sent to my Grave with your Iron Chain Dragon. One of them was my Dark Magician. Well, Dark Magician Girl gains 300 ATK for all Dark Magicians in my Graveyard, raising her Attack to 2300!" Luna explained as the Dark Magician Girl held up her staff and gained the declared power.
"Now, Skilled Dark Magician, finish your attack!" Luna declared as the called Magician fired off its blast, destroying Mikee's Dragon as he guarded. (Mikee: 7600 LP) "Now, when a monster of mine destroys one of your monsters while powered by the Spellbook of Power, I'm able to add another Spellbook Spell card from my deck to my hand. I add another Spellbook of Power to my hand." Luna added as the card came from her deck. She resumed her attack as Formula Synchron looked ready.
"Dark Magician Girl, attack his Formula Synchron!" Luna commanded as the cute magician spun and fired off a dark blast, destroying his defense monster as his field was completely clear again. He grunted as the Slifer Red ended her turn. The crowd watched with interest as the Ra Yellow student drew his card.
"During my Stand-by Phase, as long as I control no Spells or Traps, I'm able to Special Summon my Treeborn Frog from the Graveyard to my field!" Mikee declared as his frog returned in Defense Mode. He looked at his hand as he didn't really like what he had to work with, but it would have to do. Damn, she's good. She got rid of my Synchros right off the bat. And now she has another Power in her hand. My guess is she's going to use it on Dark Magician Girl to boost that to 3300 ATK next turn. I'm going to have to play defensive until I draw the card I need. Mikee thought as he set a monster and ended his turn.
"My turn, draw!" Luna declared as she looked and smiled. "This card will seal the duel. I activate the Field Spell, Magical Citadel of Endymion!" Luna activated as the field around the observers and the two duelists began to change. They wound up in a huge city square with a tower behind Luna. Around the city seemed to be a magical barrier. "Since I activated a Spell Card, my Skilled Dark Magician gains another counter, bringing his counters up to two!" Luna explained as another orb on the mentioned magician glowed green. Her smile became a grin as she picked the Spellbook of Power from her hand. "Now I activate the Spellbook of Power once again and add the power to my Dark Magician Girl! (Dark Magician Girl: 3300 ATK) This not only gives the final counter to my Skilled Dark, but as long as my Citadel remains on the field, all Spells give counters to it!" Luna declared as the final orb was lit. Another counter went up to the tower behind Luna as it flashed a giant green '1'.
"Now the stage has been set! I activate my Skilled Dark Magician's effect! By tributing him while he has three Spell Counters, I'm able to Special Summon the all-powerful, Dark Magician!" Luna declared as the mentioned Magician began chanting a spell. A dark circle appeared around it as it sank into it. What rose from a pillar of dark energy came the purple-clothed wizard with a green staff as it swung it around. (Dark Magician is a Level 7 DARK Spellcaster Normal monster with 2500 ATK and 2100 DEF.) The Dark Magician Girl seemed happy at the presence of the Dark Magician as both Spellcasters looked towards Mikee and his two monsters.
"First off, Dark Magician Girl, attack his Treeborn Frog!" Luna commanded as the attack went through and Luna added her third Spellbook of Power through the effect of her previous one. She looked towards his face-down monster as the Dark Magician was ready. "Go, Dark Magician, attack his face-down monster!" She declared as the Dark Magician fired off its dark spell. The monster that was face-down was Card Trooper (Card Trooper is a Level 3 EARTH Machine monster with 400 ATK and 400 DEF.). It was destroyed immediately as Mikee regrouped. "Thanks, by destroying Card Trooper, I'm able to draw a free card." Mikee told Luna as he drew and smiled a bit.
"I end my turn after that. It's your turn." Luna ended, looking confident at her set-up. Mikee nodded and drew his second card. "Treeborn Frog comes back due to his effect, and I set another monster, but this time, I also set one card face-down." He told the Slifer Red as he set a face-down on the Monster Zone and a face-down in the Spell and Trap zone. He ended his turn after that.
"If that's the best you got, you have another thing coming!" Luna declared and drew her card. It turned out to be a monster as she smiled again. "I summon my Crusader of Endymion in Attack Mode!" Luna called forth a new monster. This one didn't seem to be like the other Magicians, but it was in a blue armor. The armor was dotted with grey orbs, however. (Crusader of Endymion is a Level 4 LIGHT Spellcaster monster with 1900 ATK and 1200 DEF.) /b
"Now, I activate my Spell card, my final Spellbook of Power! I'll give the effects to my Dark Magician!" Luna activated the red book as the Dark Magician was covered in the red aura. (Dark Magician: 3500 ATK) She looked confident despite the face-down card her opponent had.
"Crusader, attack his Treeborn Frog! Dark Magician Girl attack his face-down monster!" Luna commanded as they attacked in unison. The face-down monster revealed itself to be a Quillbolt Hedgehog. (Quillbolt Hedgehog is a Level 2 EARTH Machine monster with 800 ATK and 800 DEF.) They were immediately sent to the Graveyard as Mikee looked at the powered up Magician. The onlookers winced at the attack of the legendary magician.
"Now, Dark Magician, attack Mikee directly!" Luna declared as the magician fired its dark blast straight at him. Mikee didn't flinch as the attack hit, covering him in smoke as Luna cheered in joy. She looked again as her joy went to shock. His Life Points remained at 7600. "What? How?!" She asked as the smoke cleared. Mikee's face-down card flipped up as it was the Trap Card, Defense Draw.
"You triggered my Trap. When I take any sort of Battle Damage, I can activate this to reduce that damage to 0, and freely draw a card." Mikee told her as he drew. Luna looked a bit annoyed as she ended her turn. Tch, I thought I had him there, but he's been hanging on just barely. It won't matter soon. Once I summon my Crusader, I'll be able to end this duel next turn. Luna thought as Mikee began his draw.
"I draw!" Mikee declared as he drew into a Spell card. His Treeborn Frog returned to the field again since he had no Spells or Traps. His eyes widened a bit as the card he drew with Defense Draw was another Spell. There we go. Now this duel is mine. Sorry Luna, but you're done. Mikee thought. He saw the combination of the cards in his hand through his mind as he seemed ready.
"It's time for my counter attack! I activate the Spell card, Reinforcement of the Army! With this, I'm able to add a Level 4 or lower monster from my Deck to my hand!" Mikee explained as he picked his Junk Synchron from his deck into his hand. The Spell Card shone as it flew back up to Luna's Citadel. [Citadel: 2 counters] "Thanks for the counter, but what are you going to pull off with that?" Luna asked.
"Easy, your end. I summon my Junk Synchron and with his effect, I'm going to pull Formula Synchron from my Graveyard to my field!" Mikee summoned as Junk Synchron brought back his previously destroyed monster. Luna looked confused at this point.
"I'm not done yet! Remember, you destroyed my Quillbolt Hedgehog last turn. When there is a Tuner monster on my field, I can Special Summon him as well from the Grave onto the field!" Mikee explained as his Quillbolt came back. Luna looked a bit nervous from this as Mikee held up his hand. "I tune my Level 3 Junk Synchron with my Level 1 Treeborn Frog and Level 2 Quillbolt Hedgehog! To guard against all the forces to protect your friends, come forth onto my field!" Mikee spoke as the Junk Synchron seperated into three rings again. Treeborn and Quillbolt leapt into the rings as they became three stars again. A big pillar of light appeared on the field. "Synchro Summon! Junk Gardna in Defense Mode!" Mikee called forth a huge warrior with gigantic green shields as it seemed powerful. (Junk Gardna is a Level 6 EARTH Synchro Warrior with 1400 ATK and 2600 DEF.)
"Wow, that's a good defense. It's just higher than my Dark Magician." Luna mentioned. That's when Mikee smiled at her comment. "You've seemed to forget my Formula Synchron. I'm not done Synchro Summoning. I now tune my Formula Synchron with my Junk Gardna!" Mikee called out as the audience gasped. Formula Synchro transformed into a car and became two green rings as they surrounded Junk Gardna as it became six stars. "With your crimson blades, cut through the future! Come forth, Crimson Blader!" Mikee called forth as a red pillar of light appeared. This time, it was a red warrior with huge twin blades. (Crimson Blader is a Level 8 FIRE Synchro Warrior monster with 2800 ATK and 2600 DEF.)
"Crimson Blader?!" Luna gasped as she stepped back. Her Magicians also backed up at the sight of the stronger monster. Mikee nodded as he looked to her Dark Magician Girl. He pointed at her. "Go, Crimson Blader! Attack Luna's Dark Magician Girl!" Mikee declared as the warrior dashed in towards her. The magician couldn't do anything as the blades struck through, destroying her and damaging Luna. (Luna: 6900 LP) After the destruction passed, the Crimson Blader threw its swords at Luna, it stabbing the ground around her. "Now with the destruction of your Dark Magician Girl, Crimson Blader's effect activates! During your next turn, you're unable to Special Summon or Normal Summon any Level 5 and higher monsters. I end my turn with a face-down." Mikee called as he placed a card and let it to Luna.
"This duel is intense, huh? Nothing like a Ra Yellow to give a good show! That Magician girl's cornered now!" Comments from the crowd came through as Luna looked a bit nervous, but drew her card. She looked at it as her eyes widened.
"You think you have me? Well, you're wrong. There's a way to work around your limits, and I have the answer right here! I summon the Summoner Monk!" Luna declared as she summoned what seemed to be an aged wizard in Defense Mode. (Summoner Monk is a Level 4 DARK Spellcaster monster with 800 ATK and 1600 DEF.) Mikee looked a bit surprised as Luna picked a card from her hand. "I activate Summoner Monk's effect! By discarding a Spell card, I'm able to Special Summon a Level 4 monster from my deck! The monster I choose is another Skilled Dark Magician!" Luna called forth another magician. Mikee's eyes widened as he counted three monsters with the same levels.
"I may not be able to Special Summon Level 5 or higher monsters, but I am able to do the next best thing! I create the Overlay Network using Crusader of Endymion, Summoner Monk, and Skilled Dark Magician!" Luna spoke as her four monsters became energy and flew into a portal that opened in between both duelists and monsters. The portal exploded in energy as Luna held her hand up this time. "XYZ Summon! Number 104: Masquerade!" Luna summoned as a huge marker came from the sky. It opened up as a blue cape and a figure in yellow was summoned with three energy spheres around it. (Number 104: Masquerade is a Rank 4 LIGHT Spellcaster XYZ monster with 2700 ATK and 1200 DEF.)
"A Number monster, incredible! But it's still weaker than his Crimson Blader by a mere 100 points." People pointed out as the Obelisk Blue girl looked at the Numbers monster before them. Idiots. If she were to summon a regular XYZ monster, it'd be something else, but there is a reason why it's Masquerade. I have a feeling I know what's coming next, and I think my rival does too. The girl thought as she looked to Mikee with a serious expression on his face.
"Now, to finalize this act and put an end to this duel! From my hand, I activate the Spell card, Rank-Up Magic - Barian's Force!" Luna declared as a spell appeared, creating a black portal above them and the audience. This was what Mikee was afraid of as he stepped back this time. "This card allows me to target an XYZ monster I control and rank it up! I select Number 104 - Masquerade to create the Overlay Network!" Luna explained as her new monster became energy and flew upwards into the black portal. "CHAOS XYZ CHANGE!" Luna declared as the portal exploded with ferocious energy. "Come forth, Chaos Numbers 104! The manifestation of chaos, this Magician will bring the ultimate show and end it with the greatest finale! Appear, Umbral Horror Masquerade!" Luna declared as the magician that came forth spread red wings and had a red look about him. This thing wielded a sharp scepter as it unleashed a ton of energy. (Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade is a Rank 5 DARK XYZ Spellcaster monster with 3000 ATK and 1500 DEF.) Mikee grunted as it was definitely far stronger than his Crimson Blader. (Citadel: 3 Counters) "Here's the Special part! When Umbral Horror Masquerade is summoned, I can destroy a Spell or Trap card on your field!" Luna explained as it sent an electric shock towards Mikee's face-down."
"I don't think so! I chain it and activate Scapegoat! With this, I can Special Summon 4 tokens to my field in Defense Mode!" Mikee told her as sheeps appeared on his field. (Citadel: 4 counters)
"Wow, she summoned a very powerful monster even with the limit of Level 4 and lower. She's good for sure." Neo said outloud as he looked to his friend. He seemed troubled as Luna pointed at his Crimson Blader. "Masquerade, attack his Crimson Blader!" She ordered as the Magician attacked his Crimson Blader, destroying it as Mikee took the damage. (Mikee: 7400 LP).
Mikee closed his eyes and drew his card. He didn't like the card he drew as all he could do was depend on his tokens and his monsters for defense.
"Still relying on your defenses? I will tear them down one by one! I draw!" Luna declared as she drew her card. "Let's seal this duel. I summon my final Skilled Dark Magician!" Luna called forth another magician, counting the Dark Magician still on the field and Masquerade. Three Magicians once again stared at the Ra Yellow Duelist. "I activate Citadel's effect! When a monster of mine needs to use Spell Counters, I'm able to use the Citadel's collection instead! I tribute my Skilled Dark Magician to Special Summon another Dark Magician, this one was the one you sent to the Graveyard earlier!" She explained as another Dark Magician appeared.
"It's far from over. Once more, I construct the Overlay Network with both my Dark Magicians!" Luna spoke as both her Dark Magicians flew into the portal as it exploded with energy once again as a new and stronger looking magician took the field. "Magic evolves over time as the Dark Magician pushes past his limits! Witness his greatest potential! Come forth, Ebon Illusion Magician!" Luna summoned forth the Magician with two energy spheres around it. (Ebon Illusion Magician is a Rank 7 DARK XYZ Spellcaster with 2500 ATK and 2100 DEF.)
"I activate my Magician's ability! By using an XYZ Material, I can Special Summon a Normal Spellcaster monster from my deck or hand, and with this, I Special Summon my third Dark Magician!" Luna called forth a final Magician, bringing her count to three. Mikee didn't look happy about this.
"Now, you're finished! Dark Magician, attack a token!" She declared. As the Dark Magician was attacking, Ebon Illusion Magician's scepter started glowing. She smiled and pointed at Mikee's face-down monster. "My Ebon Illusion Magician's effect activates! Once per turn, whena Normal Spellcaster attacks, I can remove one card on your field from play!" Luna explained as she banished the face-down monster Mikee had, which he didn't look too proud of as her three Magicians reduced his tokens to 1. It was his turn.
This is bad. If I don't try something soon, I'm going to be finished. I don't have much in my hand to help me, not to mention the incredible pressure she's giving me. Mikee thought as he looked to his deck. He was figuring the math in his head. Mikee knew that she was most likely going to summon another monster. If that were to happen, his Life Points would be reduced to zero, regardless of his face-down. Was there anything he could do?
No, I believe in my deck. It'll give me the answer I need! Mikee thought and drew his card, swinging wide as he did so. He held in his hand a monster that couldn't turn things around, but it would let him go down with a fight.
If luck would permit it.
"I activate Treeborn Frog's effect from the Graveyard to Special Summon him to my field!" He called for his frog.
"I don't think so! I activate Umbral Horror Masquerade's effect! By detatching a Material from him, I'm able to negate your frog's effect as well as discard a card from your hand AND half your Life Points! I won't allow you to perform a Synchro Summon at whatever cost!" Luna declared as Masquerade pointed its scepter at Mikee as three lights shone. One struck his duel disk to prevent Treeborn from coming back, another struck at a card next to his new one as it was the Quillbolt Hedgehog from the previous turn. The final blast struck Mikee as it knocked him back to the floor, his Life Points dropping quickly. (Mikee: 3700 LP)
"N-not bad...damn, this is a fun duel. You're...going to be a blast to duel with during the year." Mikee said as he got back up. Luna smiled at the compliments he was giving.
"By discarding one monster from my hand, I'm able to Special Summon Quickdraw Synchron from my hand!" Mikee called forth a little machine with a cowboy hat and a toy pistol. (Quickdraw Synchron is a Level 5 WIND Machine Tuner with 700 ATK and 1400 DEF.) "I call forth the Quillbolt you sent to the Graveyard with Masquerade's effect to my field! And now, allow me to comeback! I tune my Level 5 Quickdraw Synchron with my Level 2 Quillbolt Hedgehog! With your almighty axe, cut past the walls and emerge victorious! I Synchro Summon the powerful Junk Beserker!" Mikee called forth a huge red armored warrior with a heavy axe as he loomed on the field in front of three Magicians. (Junk Beserker is a Level 7 WIND Synchro Warrior with 2700 ATK and 1800 DEF.)
"It's big, but it isn't strong enough to take on my Masquerade!" Luna pointed out, her Masquerade still standing at 3000 ATK. Mikee smirked at it as he pointed at it. "That's where you're wrong! You wasted Masquerade's effect on my Treeborn Frog, and luck has chosen me to finish this! I activate Junk Beserker's effect! By banishing a Junk monster from my Graveyard, I'm able to select a monster on your field and lower its attack! I can activate this effect multiple times if I wish!" Mikee explained as a blast came from his Duel Disk as it hit Masquerade. (Masquerade: 1700 ATK) Luna looked shocked at this as his Junk Beserker held its axe up. "Now, Junk Beserker, attack Luna's Dark Magician!" Mikee commanded as his warrior leapt at the Magician, striking it down as she took the miniscule damage. (Luna: 6700 LP)
"With that, I end my turn." Mikee told her as she drew her card. It was another monster as her eyes lit up at its sight. She looked at Mikee as his Beserker was still looming, holding its giant axe. "You're good, no wonder you're in Ra Yellow, but I'm not through yet! I switch both my monsters to Defense Mode and end my turn from there!" Luna declared as she switched both her Magicians to Defense Mode. (Ebon: 2100 DEF. Masquerade: 1500 DEF)
I see what she's doing. She's bating Mikee to use his Beserker's insta-destroy effect. When it happens, Masquerade can permanately negate it and burn his hand and Life Points. At least she knows what she's doing. The Obelisk Blue girl thought as she looked at Mikee as he drew his card.
"I activate Foolish Burial! With this, I can freely send a card from my deck to the Graveyard!" Mikee explained as his Spell card added to Luna's Citadel (Citadel: 2 Counters) as he selected a monster and put it in his Graveyard. "The card I chose to send was Dandylion, where his effect activated! With it, I can Special Summon two Fluff Tokens!" He explained as two dandylion fluffs appeared beside Junk Beserker along with the lone Sheep token from Scapegoat. (Fluff Tokens have 0 ATK and DEF and are Level 1, WIND Attribute)
"Next, I activate the Spore deep in my Graveyard! By banishing my Dandylion from the Graveyard, I can Special Summon it with the combined level of both Dandylion and Spore!" Mikee declared.
"I don't think so! I activate Masquerade's effect again by using another unit!" Luna activated Masquerade's effect as the three blasts hit his Graveyard, hand, and body as Mikee was sent back again. (Mikee: 1850 LP) The duelist looked tired as he got back up. "Time to finish this, doesn't matter if I couldn't Synchro Summon a new monster! Beserker, finish off her Masquerade!" Mikee declared as his Beserker attacked and destroyed her Numbers Monster. With an empty hand, he ended his turn.
Luna drew her card as she smiled. It was time for her to win. "I summon my Magical Exemplar in Attack Mode!" She called out a female mage to the field. (Magical Exemplar is a Level 4 EARTH Spellcaster with 1700 ATK and 1400 DEF.)
"You're not the only one who can Synchro Summon! I tune my Dark Resonator with my Magical Exemplar! I Synchro Summon Arcanite Magician!" Luna tuned out as her Dark Resonator surrounded her magician with the green rings. A pillar of light appeared from it as a huge magician in white appeared. (Arcanite Magician is a Level 7 LIGHT Synchro Spellcaster with 400 ATK and 1800 DEF.)
"When Arcanite Magician is Synchro Summoned, he gains two Spell Counters! For each Spell Counter on him, he gains 1000 ATK!" Luna explained as the magician glowed on her field. (Arcanite Magician: 2400 ATK) "But that's not all! He has a devastating effect that will end this duel for good! He's able to freely remove Spell Counters off my field to destroy cards on your field!" She told him as Mikee stood back. Arcanite Magician pointed its scepter at Mikee's Beserker and tokens as it fired off four blasts, it taking Spell Counters from the Citadel as all of his monsters were destroyed, but Arcanite Magician reverted back to 400 ATK.
"You managed to clear my field, but you're not strong enough to wipe the last of my Life Points." Mikee told her.
"That's where you're dead wrong. I have the ability to finish this duel now that you're wide open. With the last card in my hand, I'll show you the strongest card in my deck." Luna declared as she activated her final card in her hand. "I activate the Spell Card, Miracle Synchro Fusion!"
The crowd gasped as Mikee looked uncomfortable. "By removing from play my Arcanite Magician and my Umbral Horror Masquerade, I can Special Summon a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck that lists a Synchro Spellcaster as its main material! I Special Summon my strongest magician, Supreme Arcanite Magician!" She called forth as a huge light came forth. A massive blue magician came from it, swinging its secpter. (Supereme Arcanite Magician is a Level 10 LIGHT Fusion Spellcaster with 1400 ATK and 2800 DEF.)
"When Fusion Summoned, he gains 2 Spell Counters that give him 1000 ATK each." Luna said to finish her summon as the magician glowed. b(S.A.M: 3400 ATK)/b Mikee stared at his end as Luna pointed at him. "Supreme Arcanite Magician, attack Mikee directly and end this duel!" She declared as the magician fired off a massive blast, striking Mikee as his Life Points fell.
Mikee: 0 LP
Luna: 6700 LP
Luna is the victor of this duel.
The duel field de-virtualized as Mikee was on his back. The other duelists appluaded as Luna walked up to him and offered her hand. "Hey, that was a fun duel. We have to duel again someday during school." She told him as the students started departing to join in their own duels. Mikee nodded as he took her hand and was helped up. "No problem. You're a strong duelist for being a Slifer. This will be a fun year with duelists like you to give us a challenge." He told her as she smiled at his compliment. His gaze went to the departing duelists as he noticed the orange haired girl leaving. "Oh, Tigara! Did you like the duel?" He asked from a distance as she stopped to go to them.
"Yeah, the duel was all right. I wasn't expecting a Spellcaster deck with not only XYZs and Synchros, but Fusions. She kicked your butt easily." Tigara told Mikee as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Hey Tig, you up for a duel? I'll duel you with my Warriors." Neo asked as he looked ready for a duel. She looked to the setting sun as the female duelist shook her head. "Nah, it's getting late anyway. We have all year to duel each other again and again." Tigara brought up.
"True. Besides, we still have a score to settle, Tig. I look forward to when we go all out." Mikee brought up as Tig looked to him. Luna looked between them as it seemed they were serious about it.
This was certainly going to be a fun year at Duel Academy.
