AN: So, I wanted to write another crossover that was just one chapter, lighthearted, and not overly serious. I also wanted to try my hand at writing a duel in this way for a story, and like how it turned out. Hope you enjoy this story, let me know what you thought in a review, and have a nice day.
Burning Feathers
The moon was full over the satellite district. The destroyed city was silent as most of the residents were asleep or hiding form sector security. However, a lone teenage boy on his duel runner road the empty streets. His ride was black with a light orange trim. On the sides where two flat pieces of metal, resembling wing. He had on a dark blue helmet, the shape looked like that of a bird's head. On his face were multiple yellow markers. He wore a sleeveless brown jacket and a light orange undershirt. He smiled at the solitude and peacefulness of the night. Suddenly, he noticed a light behind him. He turned his head to see another duel runner behind him. He couldn't make out the design, but feared it was the worst.
"Just like Sector Security to ruin my late-night ride." He said as his smile left his face. However, it came back as he revved the engine of his ride, "Let's see if this one can keep up with Crow, The Bullet, Hogan." At that moment, his duel runner accelerated. Crow began to leave his follower in the dust as he turned into a narrow alleyway. He passed out the other side of the street and continued through the city at an insane speed. Crow made it to the empty expressway, he turned back to see nobody behind him, "Better luck next time." He said to himself.
However, Crow started to hear a familiar sound. He looked around to find were the noise was coming from. In the far behind him, he saw a small light. Suddenly, the sound of the other duel runner became clear as the light grew closer. Crow quickly moved out of the way as duel runner passed him, appearing a roaring fireball as it charged down the street. He now saw the design and realized it was not Sector Security. Her helmet was bright yellow, she looked over to give Crow a slight smirk. The duel runner was also bright yellow, matching the color of the driver's long hair. She wore a similar jacket to Crows, but was lighter in color. She slowed down to ride next to Crow.
"Sorry, I thought you were Sector Security." Crow said to the female rider, "I don't think I have seen you around. Are you new to the Satellite?"
"You could say that?" She responded.
"How did you get here?" Crow said before grinning, "I don't see a Marker on that pretty face of yours."
"It's a long story." She said with a slight laugh in the way she spoke, "Now let me ask you a question. Want to have a Turbo Duel?" She had gotten Crows attention more than before. He looked over to see her lilac eyes look into his light grey eyes.
"But I don't even know your name?" Crow said in a joking tone. The female rider giggled.
"It's Yang." She responded, "Now do we have a match?" Yang asked again as had a look of determination form on his face.
"You're on." Crow said as he pressed a button on his dual runner. Yang did the same on side. Both displayed duel disk in front of them with a screen displaying the information of the opposing players field. Both showed a speed counter display of zero, for now. Both duel runners spoke before emitting an electronic wave, creating the field for them to play as they road down the street.
Duel mode on. Autopilot standby.
"Duel!" Both said at the same time, starting with 4,000 life points. Each drew five cards from their respective decks.
"I think I'll go first." Yang said as she drew one card from her deck and placed it in her hand. She then grabbed a different card from her hand and placed it on the duel disk, "I summon Grimm Beowolf in attack mode." Next to her dual runner, a large, black, wolf like creature appeared with a white mask and red eyes, (3 STARS, 1,400 ATK / 900 DEF). The beast roared towards Crow.
"I have never seen that monster before. Must be from a new release of cards." Crow thought as Yang grabbed two cards from her hand.
"I set two cards facedown and end my turn." She said as she placed the two card on the field. The appeared for a second as a hologram before vanishing.
"My turn!" Crow said as he drew one card from his deck. Both players had gained one speed counter. He looked at the card a second before summoning it, "I'll play Blackwing – Bora the Spear in attack mode." Next to him formed a large humanoid bird with blue wings and a large spear held in both hands, (4 STARS, 1,700 ATK / 800 DEF). Crow pointed at the monster on Yang's side of the field, "Bora, take out that wolf!" He shouted, causing him monster to run its spear through the center of the Beowolf.
Yang's life points, 4,000 = 3,700
Suddenly, one of the face down cards on Yang's side flipped over, "I activate Wolf Pack Revenge. When one Grimm Beowolf is destroyed, I can special summon two from my deck!" she said as two more Grimm Beowolf formed on her side of the field. Crow gritted his teeth as he set one card on the field.
"I'll place one card face down and end my turn." He said.
"My turn." Yang said as she drew a card, both gained one more speed counter. She placed the card in her hand to grab a different one, "I'll release the two monsters to summon Grimm King Taijitu." The Grimm Beowolves merge to form a gigantic snake with two heads, both covered by a white mask, (7 STARS, 2,000 ATK / 1,200 DEF). The body of the snake coiled around the road as they drove on the overpass. She pointed to Bora the Spear, "Time to devour that bird!" One of the snake's head bite down on the upper half of the body of the birdman. Bora vanished into a flash of light as Crow's life points fell with one speed counter.
Crow's life points, 4,000 = 3,700
"Now we're even." Crow said with a smile.
"But I still have my monsters effect." Yang said as Crow's expression turned to shock, "It can attack again as long as the damage inflicted is halved." She said as the other head of the snake monster rammed into Crow. He staggers as he tries to gain control after the hit, losing one speed counter.
Crow's life points, 3,700 = 2,700
"I'll end with one card face down." Yang said as she placed on card from her hand on the field.
"This is getting intense." Crow said as he drew a card, both gain another speed counter. He looked at in and smiled before playing it, "I summon Blackwing – Blizzard the Far North." On his side of the field, a white bird appeared, (2 STARS, 1,300 ATK / 0 DEF). "Thanks to its special ability, I can bring back Bora form the graveyard in defense mode." The monster with a spear reappeared next to Crow, "That's not all, Blizzard is a tuner monster. I'll tune my level two Blizzard with my level four Bora." He said as the white bird turned into two stars. They formed a pair of green rings over Bora, who had turned into four stars. The four stars aligning to in the center of the rings. A large pillar of light formed near Crow, "I synchro summon Blackwing Armed Wing!" A large armored man with wings formed from the light next to Crow. It held a rifle in its hand as it looked up at the snake with two heads, (6 STARS, 2,300 ATK / 1,000 DEF).
"I guess birds from a feather flock together." Yang said in an impressed voice.
"Now let me show you what happens when they do. Armed Wing, attack Grimm King Taijitu!" Crow's monster aimed its rifle at the snake's head. he unleashed a barrage of bullets that destroyed skull. The second tried to sneak up behind the Armed Wing, but he turned around and fire into the jaws of the snake. Yang's monster was destroyed.
Yang's life points, 3,700 = 3,400
"The turns not over yet." Yang said as she flipped over one of her face down cards, "I activate Emerging from the Black Ooze." A black puddle appeared on the ground on the road ahead of them, "When a monster with Grimm in its name is destroyed, I can summon a lower level one from my hand. I chose Grimm Ursa!" She took one card from her hand and placed it on the field. Crawling out the ooze was a large black bear with a white mask and long spicks on its back. It roared towards Crow in a rage, (5 STARS, 1,700 ATK / 500 DEF).
"I end my turn." Crow replied. He was still calm in knowing that his monster was still much stronger.
"My draw." Yang said as she started her turn, she placed the card on the field, "Since I already have a monster with Grimm in its name on the field, I can special summon Grimm Creeper from my hand." Next to the bear formed a black creature with only two legs and a long tail. It appeared lizard like and had on a white mask, (2 STARS, 600 ATK / 100 DEF). Yang smiled as she looked back at Crow, he looked in shock as it seemed her eye color had changed to red, "Grimm Creep is also a tuner monster."
"This isn't good." Crow thought to himself. The lizard like monster turned into two stars, that formed two green rings around the bear. The bear turned into five stars aligning in the rings. A pillar of light is formed like before.
"I synchro summon The Red Hooded Huntress." Yang said as girl emerged from the light. She was small and covered up in a red hood. Most of her face was hidden, but her silver eyes were visible, (7 STARS, 2,000 ATK / 500 DEF). She then grabbed on monster card from her hand and summoned it, "I play Crescent Rose." Forming near the silver eyed girl was a large red and black, mechanical scythe, (3 STARS, 800 ATK / 100 DEF).
"Her monsters are completely different now." Crow said to himself.
"I equip Crescent Rose to The Red Hooded Huntress." Yang said as the silver eyed girl grabbed the weapon. The weapon moved the spell/trap card zone, while her synchro monster's attack points grew, (2,000 ATK = 2,800 ATK). Crow now realized his monster was weaker than hers, "Now destroy Blackwing Armed Wing!" Yang shouted as the silver eyed girl ran her scythe through the middle of Crow's monster, cutting it in half horizontality.
Crow's life points, 2,700 = 2,200
"I activate my trap card, Black Feather Beacon." Crow said as he flipped over his face down, "Now I can summon a level four or lower Blackwing from my hand since you destroyed one of mine." He grabbed a card from his hand, "I play Blackwing – Mistral the Silver Shield in defense mode." A big blue bird appeared next to Crow. It had an armored body with its eyes glaring down the road ahead, (2 STARS, 100 ATK / 1,800 DEF).
"Now I will end my turn." Yang responded.
"My turn." Crow said as he drew, he looked at it and place it in this hand. Both gained one speed counter. A small grin came on his face as grabbed one other card from his hand, "I place one card face down and end my turn."
"Well, it's been fun Crow." Yang said as she drew, both gaining one speed counter, "But I think I'll end this now. I activate a speed spell, Burst Semblance!" Yang placed the card she just drew, had six speed counters to Crow's five, "For three speed counters, my monster can inflict piercing damage." The Red Hooded Huntress became shrouded in a white aura, "And thanks to her ability, when a spell card is activated, she gains 400 attack points." Yang's synchro monster attack points grew, (2,800 ATK = 3,200 ATK). She held her scythe at the ready, "Now Red Hooded Huntress, attack his bird." The silver eyed girl cuts the Mistral in half like the one before it, causing Crow to lose another speed counter.
Crow's life points, 2,200 = 800
"I'm not done yet, I active Crescent Rose's other effect." Yang said as the mechanical scythe began to transform. It morphed to form what looked like a large sniper rifle, "It can only equip to The Red Hooded Huntress, but if she destroys a monster in defense mode. She can attack you again." The silver eyed girl aimed right at Crow, "Better luck next time." She said right before her monster pulled the trigger, unleashing a large blast of energy from the sniper rifle. The blast hit Crow, creating a large dust cloud. The area went silent as Yang drove off. She turned with a triumphant look on her face. However, Crow emerged from the dust and quickly caught up to her.
"I don't want this to end just yet. The fun is just getting started." Crow responded.
"How?" Yang asked in shock as her turn was now over.
"Mistral's effect after its destruction reduces the damage I take from the next attack to zero." Crow said before drew a card, "My turn! I Summon Blackwing – Shura of the Blue Flame in attack mode." On his formed a humanoid bird with dark blue wings and large arms. A blue flame radiated from the beast as it screeched, (4 STARS, 1,800 ATK / 1,200 DEF). Crow grabbed another card from his hand, "Since I have another Blackwing on the field, I can special summon Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind from my hand." A smaller bird formed next to Crow. It had a blue feather body but a light green head, (3 STARS, 1,300 ATK / 400 DEF).
"Is he planning another synchro summon?" Yang thought to herself.
"I activate Gale's special ability. It allows me to cut your monster attack and defense points in half." The green headed bird created a gusted of wind that passed over Yang's monster. The Red Hooded Huntress attack points drastically fell, (3,200 ATK = 1,600 ATK). "Now Gale, attack The Red Hooded Huntress."
"What!? You may want to check your math." Yang commented, "Even after that cards effect, my Huntress is still stronger."
Crow smiled as he sent one card from his hand to the graveyard, "I activate Blackwing – Kalut the Moon Shadow. By sending it to the graveyard, I can give Gale 1,400 extra attack points." The shadow of a black feather bird with a yellow feathered head appeared behind Gale, (1,300 ATK = 2,700 ATK). The bird unleashed a stronger blast of wind that pushed Yang and her monster back, the weapon in her hand was destroyed.
"Crescent Rose takes to the hit for my monster, but she still loses the boost after the it's destroyed." Yang responded as she lost one speed counter. The Red Hooded Huntress attack points fell again, (1,600 ATK = 800 ATK).
Yang's life points, 3400 = 2,300
"Shura, finish the job Gale and Kalut started!" Crow shouted. The blue flamed bird attacked the silver eyed girl with a fireball of feathers. However, Yang's monster was still standing. She revealed her face down card, losing another speed counter.
Yang's life points, 2,300 = 1,300
"I activate Lasting Aura!" Yang shouted, "This trap card keep The Red Hooded Huntress alive form that attack. Also, it will return her attack points to normal on my turn."
"To bad this is the last turn!" Crow said as Yang looked in confusion, she soon realized that he had one more face down card, "I activate Urgent Tuning! Now I can synchro summon during the battle phase." Crow said as Gale turned into three stars while Shura turned into four. The three circled as the four aligned, creating few green rings, "I tune my level three Gale with my level four Shura to form Blackwing Armor Master!" He shouted as a pillar of light formed. Emerging from it was a winged man in a black armor and helmet with a large bird's covering its face, (7 STARS, 2,500 ATK / 1,500 DEF). Its large black wings spread as it glared down at Yang's monster. Crow pointed to The Red Hooded Huntress, "Armor Master, finish her off!" Crow's monster flew towards Yang's, his fist clenched to strike. The silver eyed girl tried to block the attack but was overwhelmed by the force on impact. She vanished in a yellow explosion as Yang's life points fell to zero.
Yang's life points, 1,300 = 0
The screen on Yang's dual runner read only defeat. Vents opened on her ride as she slowed down, expelling hot air. Crow had overtaken her in the lane, but stopped a few feet from Yang. He removed his helmet as he got off his dual runner. He walked over to the blond girl, who let out a disappointing sigh.
"Not bad, you almost had me there." Crow said in a reassuring tone.
"Yeah, I wish I could have won though." Yang said as she took off her helmet. She looked at Crow with her lilac eyes, "Still, it was a fun match." The two smiled at each other as they had a slight giggle in their expression. They turned to the ocean as they noticed the sun raising over the distance. The light covered the satellite district with a gust of the morning wind passing over the buildings. Both appreciated the peacefulness after the duel.
AN: There you go, Yang just dueled Crow. How did she get here, where did she get those cards, and why is her motorcycle also duel runner are all things I didn't address in this story because they didn't matter to the endgame. This story wasn't meant to be a long one like my others, it's just a duel between two character from different shows. I decided to have Crow win because it made more sense to me when writing. Plus, I already have another story where Yang is going up against strong foes and coming out on top. That's all for this story. It was fun to write, but very difficult to plan and work out. Hope you enjoyed it.
