Episode 4: Element Master Returns Pt 1

Stopping again by a window that rested in a long hallway, Kiro turned his gaze outwards to the world viewed beyond the glass pane. The only thing in sight was the large house that stood next door to his, the house that now belonged to his new neighbors; Reku Yamashita and Akina Oshiro.

"Dammit." He cursed under his breath, walking away from the window and continued down the hallway until he came to the end where it turned into a doorway into another room of his house. Stopping, he glanced back over his shoulder at the window. "What is bothering my senses so bad? What keeps drawing me towards that house, to those people? They aren't anything special."

He hated that he was lying to himself. There was something special about them, even Ronin, and it wasn't because they had their names on a few tournament rosters in the past. No, this was something different about them spiritually. Kiro had never felt this kind of odd feeling about anyone else in the world.

Readjusting the black glasses concealing his eyes he power walked back down the hallway to where he had come from. Rushing through his opening hallway to his front door, he grabbed the white wrist gadget that rested on a stand by the front door and barreled out side, slamming the door behind him.

He quickly closed the gap between his front door and his neighbor's front door, pounding on it with the bottom of his closed fist.

"Come one, answer your door." Kiro continued to pound on the door. "I have to get my questions answered or it will drive me nuts. OPEN YOUR DAMN DOOR!" Kiro screamed, adjusting his fist so he was actually punching the door. Not hard enough to break it, but enough so that they couldn't ignore him.

Still no answer.

"I know you're in there, you have not left your house!" Kiro could feel that they hadn't left because he felt their auras still in the house and not moving away from it, that, and all the vehicles were still parked out front.

The robed figure slowly walked across the golden chamber, stopping before the group of people. The hood moved with his head as he examined each and every one of the people standing there. His main focus was on Reku who seemed to be guarding Akina and the still shaky Ronin from this stranger.

"I mean you no harm." The robed figure spoke, his crackly voice calm and comforting. "I will do nothing to harm you, you have my word on that."

"They why haven't you introduced yourself yet?" Reku growled, taking a step backwards. "I asked you, who are you?"

"I cannot answer, because I do not have a name." The figure placed his gloved hand on his forehead, pulling the hood back to reveal a human head. A mat of sandy blond hair folded out as the cloth was removed. A pair of brown eyes with swirling color in his iris stared back at Reku. "Though in one life of this body, I will assume the name Deruku."

"Deruku?" Akina questioned, still bracing a wobbling Ronin with her arms. "But wait, why are you here?"

"Deruku is an old friend of mine." Order finally spoke, walking up to Reku and placing a delicate hand on his shoulder. "He is on our side; there is no reason for hostile behavior here." Bowing her head, her eyes fixated on one of the golden tiles laid about on the floor. "Though you can't be blamed, now more than ever, you cannot trust a single person. Freyr is aware of your existence, and if you stand in his way than you'll be removed."

"Who…is this guy…Freyr?" Ronin growled, still weakened. He was leaning on Akina for support still, his eyes not yet fully adjusted back into the light. "What the hell is the matter with me? That attack seemed to have hurt worse than normal dueling."

"Freyr is an ancient demon who was locked in the war that was started over this crystal that rests in the basement of this very facility." Deruku continued, sitting down on the golden throne. "He, along with his two subordinates; Dementia and Thoth, they intend to strip the crystal out of here for god only knows what purpose." Interlocking his gloved fingers, Deruku rested his chin on the bridge they made. "But it is probably for his own sick and twisted plans."

"Probably the same plan we've heard so many times before." Reku growled. "Chaos and Chime both had the same sick and twisted plan for using that crystals power. I'll bet that Freyr has the same idea."

"And I'll bet you that you are wrong." Deruku snapped back, lifting his head. "That kind of thing seems far too trivial for him. But, that still doesn't even give us a slight clue as to what he really is after."

"Think we'll need help?" Akina asked, brining everyone's attention to her. "Call in some of our other friends to help us fight. From the looks of things," Akina's eyes darted over to Ronin who still looked pale and was staggering a bit, "things aren't going to be getting any easier for us."

"Allies are good." Deruku nodded. "We already have informed our own reinforcements of the situation, but I fear that this isn't going to be an idol war like would make it easier on us." Order walked over to Deruku, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Freyr will attack from all sides, I am sure of it."

"Trust me though." Order looked up at the three crystal holders. "These three have come through a lot together. They also have good allies to fall back on when they need some help." Nodding to Akina, Order continued to speak. "Yes, go gather some reinforcements, I fear this will be far worse then any of us expect at this point."

"Right." Akina and Reku nodded, turning to their still weakened friend.

"I'll send you back home." Order walked forward slightly, raising her hands so her palms were directed towards the three of them. "We'll keep in very close contact, informing you guys of what we know, and what kind of plans we may come up with."

"Likewise." Reku nodded, stepping back so he was even with Akina and Ronin. In that instant, a pillar of white light engulfed the three of them, blasting up towards the ceiling and they were gone.

"According to the phone book, this is Mr. Yamashita's and Miss Oshiro's new place of residence." Archip smirked, looking at a small piece of paper he held in his hand. Looking up, the gazed upon the small white colored house. Standing at the front door was Kiro, still pounding on the door.

"Appears as if we aren't the only ones trying to find them." Hygin smirked. The two of them began to advance upon the house. On their arms, Kaiba corp. standard duel disks rested. They had come to remove Reku and Akina from Freyr's way.

The new people instantly caught the attention of Kiro, who stopped his pounding on the door. "So what business do you bring to this house hold?" He asked, stopping Hygin and Archip dead in their tracks on the front lawn. "You have brought malice to this place. You have the intent to do harm and hatred here. Am I even warm?" Kiro shifted his head, staring at the two new people standing there awestruck. He smirked darkly at the two of them, his eyes still concealed behind the glasses, but they still were filled with pride of scaring the two humans.

"And who are you?" Hygin growled, stepping forward. "You seem to know a lot about our purpose at this house." His duel disk began to hum to life, snapping into place on his arm. "If you dare stand in our way as well, we'll have no choice but to remove you."

"I can smell it on you." Kiro growled, stepping off the stone steps on to the ground below. Shifting the glasses on his face, he continued to stare at them.

"What are you, some kind of dog?" Archip smirked at his own humor. Even Hygin gave a chuckle.

"Nope." Kiro growled stepping forward slightly. "You just stink."

"Why you…" Hygin growled, lifting his arm up in a defensive manner.

Reku, Akina and Ronin all appeared once again in the bedroom of the new house. Seconds after the light faded, Ronin began to collapse again, falling back onto the bed. Reku grabbed him, bracing his fall so he wouldn't slide off the side of the bed onto the floor.

"I'll put Ronin up here on the bed and let him rest for a while." Reku said, dragging his friend up onto the bed. "You go and find our address book and start to contact people. We are pressed for time I'm afraid."

"Right." Akina nodded, turned and walked out of the room. She started her walk through the house, trying to remember where they had put their address books. Now, more than ever, she hated that fact that she couldn't remember where they had put everything.

Standing in the living room of the house, she looked around her. Where could she have put it? Walking over to the table where the house phone sat, she pulled open one of the small drawers, revealing a neat stack of papers and a few pens, but no address book. Narrowing her eyes, she shut the drawer and opened another one. Still no address book.

Sighing, she pushed her self up and began to walk back towards the bedroom, passing by their front window on her way. Something caught her eye, forcing her to stop and stare dumbly out of the window at the scene unfolding on her front lawn.

"Hygin….Archip." She suddenly grew angry, flying towards the front door and ripping it open. She burst through it and down the stone steps in a few bounds.

"So, someone was home." Kiro growled at the sudden appearance of the female behind him. Panting hard, she walked past Kiro and glared at the two men that opposed her on the lawn.

"What are you two doing here?" She angrily asked, driving out more malice in her voice than typical of the sweet lady.

"Oh Akina." Archip placed his hand on his brow and shook his head disappointedly. "I figured after all this time we'd be getting a warmer welcome from you. I mean, after the time we had not but five years ago, I would think that there would be no way to forget about us."

"Be quiet." Akina narrowed her brow. "This is a really bad time for you to show up. Just leave here."

"Bad time you say?' Hygin cocked an eyebrow, getting a jerking nod out of Akina; 'yes'. He smirked, pleased with the answer. "Good, that'll just make it all the more easy for us to remove you from Lord Freyr's way."

"Freyr…" Akina's anger filled eyes turned to scared ones, widening at the name. She suddenly became panicked, taking a few steps backwards. "How…when…what…"

"Freyr?" Kiro's eyes darted back and forth from Hygin and Archip to Akina. "What the hell does that mean?"

"He's enlisted us as his front men to take out all that stands in his way." Hygin held up his duel disk. "That means you Akina and your boyfriend too. Now prepare to duel."

"But, when you both lost at the last tournament." Akina was still taking small, slow steps backwards. "The Seal of Orichalcos should have sealed away your souls."

"Seal of Orichalcos… Souls…" Kiro's eyes rested on Akina. From the moment he had met her and Reku, as well as Ronin, he could tell there was something different about them. They were special; they seemed to have been through something that was quite farfetched to anyone…anyone but him.

"Well, funny story on that." Archip let his arms drape back down to his side. "When Chime lost in the final match, the container that she had been using to seal the souls away in shattered and let the souls out. Those souls tainted with the Orichalcos weren't instantly returned to their former bodies right away for some reason. Like some divine punishment inflicted upon us.

"Wondering in the vastness of space for months, we were finally returned to our bodies that lay in the hospital. When we awoke Chime was already gone. Me and Hygin busted out of that place, and have been living underground ever since."

"Enough chit-chat." Hygin held up his duel disk, slamming his shuffled deck into the slot. "I think it's about time to beat you, and remove you from Lord Freyr's way." Pointing his right hand towards Akina once it let go of his stack of cards, he smirked. "Prepare yourself."

"Fine." Akina growled, he duel disk on her arm snapping into place. Lights traced their way down the joints of the machine, a light humming sound was made indicating that the device was ready for play. From her pocket she emerged with a stack of brown backed cards, sliding them into her duel disk, she was prepared to play. "Ready then?"

"Of course." He smirked, sliding the top five cards off his deck and fanning them out in front of his face.

"So will you be relying on the power of the Seal of Orichalcos again?" Akina growled, sliding her opening hand off her deck as well.

"Nope." Hygin placed his fingers on the top card of his deck. "The Seal's seemed to have vanished from both of our decks, we no longer have them. But that doesn't mean that we are any weaker. I start!"

Akina-4000 LP
Hygin-4000 LP

"Draw!" He shouted, snapping the top card from his deck and whipping it through the air. It was quickly added to his hand. "I'll start with a simple monster in attack mode; come forth Element Magician (1500/1200)!" A woman monster with flowing purple hair appeared on the field. She was wearing a decorative outfit of lime green and white, covering most of her body. Between her gloved hands, a ball constructed of multi-colored ruins. "And end my turn by setting this one card face down." Hygin continued, sliding one of the other cards in his hand into his duel disk. The card appeared behind his female monster.

"If I remember that card correctly." Akina bit her lip as she placed her finger tips on the top card of her deck. "It'll gain special powers if monsters of certain attributes are present on the field. I just can't remember which attributes it was." Growling, she slid the top card off her deck and glared at its face. She quickly moved it towards her duel disk. "I draw, and then I summon Swordsman of Landstar in defense mode (500/1200)."

A small, peach faced young warrior appeared over its yellow bordered card. I held its little sword over its body to protect itself, as well as a small brown shield bearing its very own face on it. The monster looked more like it belonged in a toy box than on the dueling field.

"I'll set these two cards." Akina continued without hesitation, sliding two more cards into her duel disk. They appeared behind the crouching warrior with a flash of yellow and white light. "That is my turn."

"Pathetic turn." Hygin smirked, taunting Akina's weak monster. "Draw!" He yelled, sliding the top card off his deck and placing it into his hand quickly. "Now then, I'll show you the true power of my deck. Go magic card, Scroll of Bewitchment! This will change my Element Magician to any attribute I chose." He sneered at Akina as the green bordered card appeared on the field behind his purple haired woman. "And I chose wind."

"What good will that do…" Akina's voice trialed off as she thought about what Hygin was doing. "Wind must be one of the types that affects Element Magician." Her eyes began to widen as the green dressed monster began to shoot a pillar of wind up from the ground around it.

"When a monster of the wind variant exists on the field, my Magician is able to attack once more after destroying a monster in battle. But…" Holding up another card from his hand, Hygin lowered his head into a sneer. "That isn't all I have planned for you. Magic card go! Spirit Scroll of Air!"

"Spirit Scroll of Air?" Akina's eyes widened as a large, lime green colored scroll appeared on the field, floating in mid-air inches from the magician. Slowly, the scroll started to unwind itself, showing green glowing ruin scribbled on the parchment.

"This card allows me to summon out one of these." Hygin smirked, pointing towards the piece of paper. Instantly it started to produce a small, lime green, glowing sphere of light. A slow moving tornado of gray colored wind circled about its small being. "This is a Spirit Air Token (?). As long as it's on the field, its attack and defense increase by 500 points for each monster that is a wind type on the field. That is itself and my Element Magician at the moment (1000/1000)."

"Kiro!" Kaira called from inside Kiro's house. Opening the door to the living room, she slowly walked in and looked around the rectangular room. "Now where did he go? I thought he was only going to step out for a second." She placed her hands on her hips as she looked around. "Maybe he is still outside."

With that thought, she moved towards the front door, pulling it open and sticking her head out. The first thing she noticed was the duel happening just next door. Her eyes focused on the competitors; a guy she didn't recognize and Akina. Running out of the house, she quickly made her way across the lawn to where Kiro stood watching the duel.

"What is going on?" She asked, drawing Akina's and Hygin's attention to the newcomer.

"Just a little pest control." Hygin smirked, snapping his arm back to Akina. "Element Magician attack!" Cupping her hands, the green dressed magician prepared to launch a ball of condensed ruins at the toy soldier.

"Your attack will trigger this trap." Akina waved her arm across her body, one of her two set cards flipping up to reveal a purple bordered card. From the card image, strings of green light shot out, wrapping themselves around the magicians body, immobilizing her. "Gravity Bind!" Akina announced as the card took effect. "While this card remains on my field, no monster of level 4 or higher may attack."

"Oshiro Akina. She runs a low level deck that forces the opponent to play on a slightly different level. She has changed her tactics in the past, but kept the same basic idea time and again." Kiro observed as the trap that was hindering all high level monsters appeared on her field.

"Fine, you win this round." Hygin narrowed his eyes at the trap card. His Spirit Air Token wasn't strong enough to get past the Swordsman of Landstar's 1200 defense points. "Your move."

"Draw." She slid the next card off her deck, keeping as calm as possible. She added it to her hand to use later. Grabbing one of the other cards in her hand and placing it on a free monster card zone. "I summon out Sonic Duck (1700/700) in attack mode."

A small, green duck monster appeared on the field next to Akina's toy solider looking card. Around the ducks neck there was played a red scarf that whipped out behind the body of the fowl. On top of its head there rested a bucket serving as a helmet.

"That was foolish." Hygin smirked pointing to the floating green orb. "Sonic Duck is a creature of wind, giving my Spirit Air Token 500 more points (1500/1500)." He lowered his arm to his side again. "All you did was help me out."

"Won't help you for long." Akina lowered her head. "Sonic Duck, attack his Element Magician now!"

"Falling into my trap." Hygin protested, pointing towards the set card. "It's time for my continuous trap card to hinder you. Elemental Absorber activates!" Hygin's set card flipped up, showering the field in a rain of small lighting bolts. The Sonic Duck was struck by one of the bolts of lighting, crating a high voltage rope, binding the monster.

"What?" Akina watched as her duck was brought to its knees by the binding electrical currents. "What did you do to my monster?" She quickly snapped her attention back to Hygin who was just standing there, grinning dumbly.

"Elemental Absorber activated, allowing me to remove one monster from my hand to stop all of your attacks from the monster of that type." Hygin flipped over one of the cards in his hand. "I chose to remove this, my Wynn the Wind Charmer (500/1500). A monster of Wind."

"Stopping my duck because he is a wind monster." Akina's eyes dropped to her duel disk where the yellow bordered card rested, her eyes fixating on the green circle that rested in the corner of the monster. "At least my deck doesn't focus on one solid type of monster, or this duel might have turned out really bad for me." She looked up, her eyes concealing the slight amount of joy that was building. "I still have a chance, even if my wind monsters are completely shut down." Glancing down at her hand cards quickly, she nodded to Hygin. "Your turn then."

"About time." Smirking, he slid the top card off his deck and placed it in his growing hand cards. "My next monster I summon is Element Dragon, come forth in attack mode! (1500/1200)"

A large, pinkish skinned dragon monster appeared on the field next to the magician already inhabiting the field. Unfolding its large, green wings, a small tornado of wind began to form around him before the green strings shot out of Akina's trap card and bound the dragon monster.

"Element Dragon gains the same power from wind monsters that my Magician gains." Hygin explained before sliding another card from his hand into his duel disk. "Though as a level four monster he is held down by your Gravity Bind trap. So instead I'll just play; Spirit Scroll of Fire!"

Just like with his previous scroll, this one produced a small glowing orb, this one was burning red in color. Light gray smoke swirled around the outside of the small orb as it floated on the field next to its green colored companion.

"My Spirit Fire Token gains 500 points for having itself on the field." Hygin explained, his little orb growing stronger (500/500). "And my Element Dragon grows in power as well. You see, when there is a fire attribute monster on the field, he gains an additional 500 attack points (2000/1200)."

The pink colored dragon began to roar as small, red embers began to lick off the ground by the dragon's feet, swirling in the slight tornado that had formed around him already.

"He still is useless to attack with. What could he be planning?" Akina narrowed her eyes as she looked at the four monsters that opposed her; a large dragon, a purple haired girl, and two floating orbs of energy, one lime green, and the other bright red.

"Spirit Air Token attack! Destroy her Swordsman of Landstar this instance!" Hygin ordered, his lime green ball of energy obeying, releasing a massive tornado from around its smooth surface. Rushing across the field, the tornado surrounded the small warrior, crushing it under the intense pressure of the air. "Since my tokens are considered to be a level two monster, they can attack under your Gravity Bind." Hygin smirked as Akina slid the card into her graveyard slot. "This, of course, ends my turn."

"Right." Akina nodded, looking down at her own deck of cards. "There must be something I can do, but what?" Looking up, she examined the field that was placed before her. Her monster was unable to attack due to the effect of Elemental Absorber, and it was also powering up Hygin's Spirit Air Token. A super charged Element Dragon and Element Magician, as well as a Spirit Fire Token. "What can I do to weaken his offensive advantage?"

Kiro also lowered his head, staring directly at Akina. "What kind of cards do you have in that deck that can get you out of this mess?" His eyes filled with wonder as he watched Akina slowly pull the top card off her deck. "With the style of deck you run, you have to have some kind of contingency plan for being over powered like this."

"I have drawn the magic card Giant Trunade! This card lets me return all magic and trap cards on the field to their owner's hands." Her set card flipped up and began to glow in a bright white light before vanishing from her field. "This triggers my trap card; Insurance. Because it is being returned to my hand from my field, I get an additional 500 life points."

Akina-4500 LP
Hygin-4000 LP

Hygin's cheerful expression turned dark as he pulled his two cards from their place in his duel disk. Looking up, he watched his Element Magician lose the small twister of wind that had formed around it due to his Scroll of Bewitchment. This, in return, made his Spirit Air Token weaker (1000/1000). Also, without his trap card on the field, Akina's green duck was released from its electrical bindings.

"Here we go." She smirked, slamming one of the other cards in her hand onto the duel disk. "I summon out Jerry Bean Man (1750/0) in attack mode!" The card was read instantly by the green duel disk, producing the card hologram on the field before her. From it, a yellow bean-shaped man appeared wielding a small sword and flimsy shield.

"A high attack power level three monster." Hygin narrowed his brow at the small warrior that now stood against him. "Interesting."

"Jerry Bean Man attacks your Spirit Fire Token!" Akina announced, her bean solider monster crossing the field in a few mere bounds. Snapping its stringy arms back, the monster brought its sword crashing into the red orb. The collision of metal against the small monster caused it to erupt in its own flames, shattering seconds afterwards.

(Element Dragon 1500/1200)

"And Sonic Duck attacks your Spirit Air Token!" Akina continued her attack orders, snapping her arm towards the other floating orb. Her duck monster lowered its head, vanishing into thin air with a flash. Racing across the field, a blur of green could be seen followed by some feathers floating towards the ground. Ramming into the side of the monster, the duck became visible, bouncing back to Akina's field, while Hygin's monster shattered just likes it brethren.

Akina-4500 LP
Hygin-2050 LP

"I'll end my turn there by setting these cards." Akina smirked, sliding two cards into her duel disk again. Behind her two monsters appeared the brown backed cards.

"Gravity Bind and Insurance again." Hygin placed his hand on his deck as he spoke. "It's pretty pathetic to even try and set things like that when I know they are coming. It's my turn, draw!" Snapping the card off his deck, he whipped it through the air so it could be seen by Akina and the two spectators. "The magic card; Pot of Greed allows me to draw two more cards from my deck." He quickly snapped the next two cards from his deck. "Then I set these two cards on my field, this ends my turn."

Akina watched astonished as the two brown backed cards rippled into existence behind his two monsters. "I figured he'd either go on the defensive or do something a bit more impressive than that. If he would have replayed Scroll of Bewitchment he could have changed a monster to a fire type, increasing his Element Dragon's power. That way he could have gone on the offensive. Even knowing my set card is Gravity Bind shouldn't have stopped him from at least creating an offensive wall to block me." Her eyes quickly darted between her set two cards and the duo of cards set one Hygin's field.

"Going to make a move or what?" Hygin cocked an eyebrow at Akina who seemed to be studying the field far more than he would have expected. "My move threw her off slightly I think."

"I am. Draw!" She cried out, snapping the top card from her deck and glancing at its face before adding it to her hand. Lifting her head, she made one last mental note of how the field looked. "Alright, Sonic Duck attack the Element Magician now!" She watched as her duck again vanished, charging towards the purple haired monster at super-sonic speeds. Smashing into the chest of the monster, the duck buried the tin can that rested on its head deep into the skin of the monster, causing her to cry out in pain.

Akina-4500 LP
Hygin-1850 LP

"Jerry Bean Man, attack Element Dragon next!" Akina announced, more confident than she was before. Once her Sonic Duck landed on her field, he bean-man warrior charged forward, slashing its swords down across the torso of the pink skinned dragon, causing it to explode into data bits.

Akina-4500 LP
Hygin-1600 LP

"Two set cards and he couldn't use either to stop me!" Akina was surprised at the lack of resistance from Hygin. She was sure that one of those cards was Elemental Absorber again, unless he didn't have a monster of either wind or earth, Jerry Bean Man's attribute, in his hand to discard. She glared at Hygin, who was just standing on his side of the field with a smirk on his face, waiting patiently for Akina to end her turn so he could begin his. "I end my turn there."

"Good." Hygin moved, sliding the top card off his deck and staring at the face. "Perfect, I have finally drawn all the pieces I need. The first of which is in the form of a magic card; Doriado's Blessing. By sacrificing my Element Doom (1500/1200) I am able to special summon out Elemental Mistress Doriado (1200/1400)."

A lovely blond haired woman wearing a red head piece appeared on Hygin's field. She was kneeling down on her blue bordered card, her lovely white dress stretching with the awkward position she was kneeling in. Clapping her hands together, locking the fingers, she appeared to be praying. Her hair rippled down the side of her soft cheek, landing on a blue set of shoulder pads.

"This ends my turn." Hygin smirked, looking at the one card in his hand; Scroll of Bewitchment. Looking up, Akina shrank back with the chicken-shit grin Hygin was giving off.

"I draw then." Akina slid her next card off her deck, her eyes avoiding Hygin's face. It suddenly was creeping her out. She didn't have much in her hand, so she was just going to have to work with what she had on the field already. "Sonic Duck attacks your Elemental Mistress! Sonic Smash!"

"Falling into my trap." Hygin smirked, waving his hand over his set cards. One of them flipped up, glowing brightly. "This trap is known as Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan, and while I have a monster of earth, wind, fire, and water face up on my field I get to choose a variety of effects." Holding up his duel disk, he made sure Akina, as well as Kiro and Kaira, could see Elemental Mistress Doriado. "My monster has the power to be all those attributes at once, allowing my trap card to work."

"No way!" Akina's eyes widened at how the hard to work with card suddenly became worlds easier to Hygin.

"I chose the effect of my Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan to destroy all monsters on your side of the field." Hygin's trap began to shoot out beams of light with the order, piercing through the green duck and the yellow bean-man. Causing them to self destruct and send smoke rolling across Akina's field.

Slowly Akina slid the two monster cards into her graveyard slot. Sighing, her hand returned to the cards she was holding. Now she had no choice, she had to use them to some extent.

"I summon Flame Dancer in defense mode (550/450)." She cried out, slapping the said card horizontally on her duel disk. Before her, a blue tiki monster appeared over a yellow bordered card. It was moving its feet in a dancing motion, a blue trailing off its movements. "I end my turn."

CARD OF THE EPISODE

Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan
Trap
You can only activate this card when there are at least 1 monster each of WIND, WATER, FIRE and EARTH Attributes face-up on the field. Select and resolve 1 of the following effects:
- Destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field.
- Destroy all Magic and Trap Cards on your opponent's side of the field.
- Randomly discard 2 cards from your opponent's hand.
- Draw 2 cards.

Akina: "Hello! Good to see you all are back again. Sadly though, I'm locked in a duel with this guy, at the worst possible time. What else could go wrong! Well, here is one of the cards he used that really messed up my plans. Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan works while there are monsters on the field of wind, water, fire, and earth attribute, activating a gaggle of effects. You can; Destroy all magic and traps on the opponent's field, discard two cards from the opponents hand, draw two cards, or like Hygin did to me, destroy all monsters on the opponents field. Handy, but hard to work with, made a world easier with an Elemental Mistress Doriado on the field. Hope I can pull this duel out, this card single handedly ripped apart my offense."
