Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Tag Force Special

Extra chapter 4: Masked HERO FTKOTK!

Author's Note: Hello everyone. This is Silvernet. I wanted to make a quick announcement. Next week will be the duel:

Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler) vs. Johan/Jesse Anderson vs. Jack Atlas vs. Tenjo Kite vs. Akaba Reiji

I'm familiarized with everyone's decks except for Reiji's, and right now I'm wondering just how the five will play together in the first place. Still, the chapter will definitely be uploaded next week. And if you haven't, please check out my other Yugioh Arc V fanfic, "Yugioh Chronicles: Remnant of the Dragons" which focuses on my original characters.

Today's duel will be rather one-sided, but I wanted to introduce the Masked HERO OTK in my story, so here it is! Also, please don't ask about the rainbow at the end; I was trying to make it symbolic with Yuma… kind of.

Now, without further ado…

Story start!

*SCENE TRANSITION*

"Well, I have wanted to try this Duelplex for a while now… let's give it a spin." Yuma replied with a nervous smile.

Konami vs. Yuma

DUEL!

"My turn!" Yuma shouted as she then looks at her opening hand. "I normal summon The Black Stone of Legend!"

The Black Stone of Legend Att: Dark lvl.1 Atk: 0 Def: 0 Type: Dragon

"Now I use the effect of The Black Stone of Legend! By releasing it, I can special summon 1 level 7 or lower "Red-Eyes" monster from my deck! Come out, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Yuma shouts epically. Red-Eyes appears in a pillar of fire, with its eyes scorching a dark red before its entire body reveals out of the pillar of flames.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon Att: Dark lvl.7 Atk: 2400 Def: 2000 Type: Dragon

"Next I activate the normal spell, Inferno Fire Blast! This card inflicts 2400 damage to my opponent if I control a 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' on the field, however, it cannot attack this turn! Go, Inferno fire blast!" Yuma shouts. Red-Eyes Black Dragon shoots a ball of fire at Konami who moves his right arm over his head in a protective manner. The flames hit the metallic surface in front of Konami which then deflected into his face.

"AGHHHH!"

Konami: 4000-2400=1600

It was then that the metallic platform span in a complete 360°, surprising Konami and Yuma. "What's going on!?" Yuma questioned in surprise.

"Whenever a player takes 2000 damage or more, the platform spins once. If a player takes 3000 or more damage, the platform spins numerous times depending on the situation." I explained. Yuma looked at me with a shocked facial expression. Yuma then looked up to her right at Red-Eyes whose flares were burning and scales shining beautifully.

"It's pretty… It looks so real, and feels so warm…" Yuma mumbled as her eyes slowly moved down, however not closing completely as she stared dreamily at Red-Eyes.

"The DuelPlex enforces the holograms so that they look more real. It also uses a heat sensor and heat emission which allows us to feel heat as if we are touching these monsters or can feel their flare." I explained to Yuma. Yuma smiled widely.

"Wow…!" Yuma exclaimed her excitement.

"So the damage I took is close to hot air hitting me; or something of the sort. And, the flares that you feel right now are the heat of the Duelplex and the heat emitting from your body in response." I further explained.

"It feels so real…" Yuma mumbled as her eyes slowly widened in amazement. She then smirked and looked towards me. "I set two cards facedown. Turn end."

Yuma: 4000 Hand: 1

I grinned in response. "I'm not going to hold back! My turn, draw!" I shouted. I then looked at the cards in my hand, and grinned. "Yosh! I normal summon Elemental HERO Blazeman in attack position!"

Elemental HERO Blazeman Att: Fire lvl.4 Atk: 1200 Def: 1800 Type: Warrior

"When this card is normal or special summoned, I can add one 'Polymerization' from my deck into my hand!" I grinned as I search my deck and added 'Polymerization'. I then looked forward with a smirk on my face. "Now I activate the normal spell, Polymerization! This lets me fuse two monsters together in order to form a beat stick."

"I guess so…" Yuma replied casually.

"From my hand, I merge my Elemental HERO Ocean with Elemental HERO Shadow Mist!"

Level 8 Fusion chant~ Awaken from your long slumber within the depths of Earth! Ascend onto its surface and freeze everything to zero!

"Fusion summon, Elemental HERO Absolute Zero!"

Elemental HERO Absolute Zero Att: Water Lvl.8 Atk: 2500 Def: 2000 Type: Warrior

"Next I use Shadow Mist's effect; when this card is sent to the graveyard, I can add a 'HERO' monster from my deck to my hand, and Shadow Mist can only use one effect once per turn!" I explained. "I add Elemental HERO Bubbleman into my hand! Now… Battle!" I shouted. "Elemental HERO Absolute ZERO attacks your Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Yuma!"

2500 vs. 2400

"Not so fast!" Yuma shouted. "I activate my face-down normal trap, Magic Cylinder! Now when my opponent's monster declares an attack, I can negate that attack and then deal damage equal to the Atk of that monster! Therefore Konami, you take 2500 damage!" Yuma shouted as she then smirked in triumph. I gritted my teeth in frustration, however I then grinned.

"I don't think so! I activate the quick-play spell card, Form change! This card allows me to target 1 'HERO' fusion monster I control; by returning it to the Extra deck, I can special summon a 'Masked HERO' from my extra deck with the same level as the returned monster! I return Elemental HERO Absolute ZERO to the extra deck, and then I special summon the level 8 Masked HERO Anki!" Konami declared.

Level 8 Fusion chant~ Come, embodiment of darkness! Now is the time for you to strike at the heart of our enemy!

Masked HERO Anki Att: Dark lvl.8 Atk: 2800 Def: 1200 Type: Warrior

"Furthermore, when Absolute Zero leaves the field, I can destroy all monsters my opponent controls! Go, World Zero!" I shouted as Red-Eyes Dragon was frozen and then cracked into several pieces. Yuma moved her left arm over her head as a snowstorm hits her field. Anki then slashed through the storm causing it to stop as he appeared on the field. "Go, Anki, attack Yuma directly!" I commanded. Yuma then smirked.

"I activate my face-down normal trap, Red-Eyes Spirit; now I can target 1 'Red-Eyes' monster from my graveyard and special summon it! Come, Red-Eyes Black Dragon in defense position!"

Red-Eyes Black Dragon Att: Dark lvl.7 Atk: 2400 Def: 2000 Type: Dragon

Anki then proceeded to destroy Red-Eyes Black Dragon, allowing me to smirk in success, much to Yuma's distaste. "When Anki destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard, I can add 1 'Change' card from my deck into my hand!" I shouted. Yuma's eyes then widen in realization.

"Oh no!"

"Now I activate that quick-play spell card, Form change! I return Anki to the extra deck to special summon the level 8 fusion, Masked HERO Acid!"

Level 8 Fusion chant~ Pour terror onto this battlefield with your acidic rain!

Masked HERO Acid Att: Water lvl.8 Atk: 2600 Def: 2100 Type: Warrior

"Now attack directly!" I shouted. Yuma gritted her teeth in frustration as Acid and Blazeman struck her.

Yuma: 4000-2600=1400

1400-1200=200

"And don't think that's all!"

"What is it this time!?"

"I activate the quick-play spell card, Mask change! Now by sending a "HERO" monster from my field to the graveyard, I can special summon 1 'Masked HERO' of the same attribute, from my extra deck! I release Masked HERO Acid which is a water attribute to special summon Masked HERO Vapor!"

Level 6 Fusion chant~ Liquid that passes even through the shallowest of walls, now break the wall that stands before me!

Masked HERO Vapor Att: Water lvl.6 Atk: 2400 Def: 2000 Type: Warrior

"Now, direct attack!" I shouted. Then, Yuma smirked causing me to widen my eyes in surprise.

"I activate the effect of Rainbow Kuriboh within my hand! When an opponent's monster declares an attack, I can equip this card to that monster, and the equipped monster cannot declare an attack!" Yuma shouted.

I grinned. "Then I guess I'll have to move to my main phase 2. I set a card face-down, and then I use Bubbleman's effect!"

Yuma's eyes widen. "Oh no!"

"If it's the only card in my hand, I can special summon it!" I explained.

Elemental HERO Bubbleman Att: Water lvl.4 Atk: 800 Def: 1200 Type: Warrior

"Now I overlay Bubbleman and Blazeman!" I shouted.

Rank 4 chant~ Shoot down your enemies with your rounded strength!

"Xyz summon, Gagaga Cowboy, in defense position!" I shouted.

Gagaga Cowboy Att: Earth Rank.4 Atk: 1500 Def: 2400 Type: Warrior

"Monster effect; once per turn while this card is in defense position, by detaching 1 xyz material I can inflict 800 damage to my opponent! Take this, Yuma!"

"Aaahhh!"

Yuma: 200-800=0

"Yeah, looks likes I win!" I exclaimed excitedly as I pumped up my right fist. "Hm? Yuma…?" I looked towards her, curiously. Her bangs covered her eyes as she looked down, with a frown on her face, and her fists clenched. I gulped as I started to feel danger. She looked up and to my surprise, she was crying.

"Idiot! That was so unfair…" Yuma looked down and grabbed onto her shirt, in frustration. I started to regret what I had done. "Idiot…" Yuma muttered as she cried.

"Then… how about a round two?" I asked carefully, in consideration. Suddenly, her muffled crying had stopped. I looked at her curiously. "Yuma…?" She then looked up at me with a huge smirk on her face; showing no indication of her crying.

"Okay then! This time I'll make sure to at least stand a ghost of a chance!"

I smiled; glad to see that Yuma was energetic again. "Well then, let's start!"

"W-Wait a second! You're going too fast!" Yuma said frantically as she waved her hands in front of her. I looked at her, confused.

"Huh?"

Yuma twiddled her two forefingers and looked left nervously to the ground "L-Let me edit my deck a bit…"

I smiled and nodded in reply as she shyly looked over to me. "Ok."

*SCENE TRANSITION*

Yuma was crouching down, with her deck spread out over her hands as she read each card aloud. "Hey Konami, what cards should I put into my deck?"

"Hmm… Personally I'm not reliant on high level monsters so I wouldn't know how many you should have in a deck, or what you should even put in a Red-Eyes deck."

"Heh… I see." Yuma mumbled in reply. I glanced over to my left curiously and noticed Yuma's curious expression as she stared at a single card in her left hand. "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon…"

Yuma mumbled. Wait…

"Wait, what!?" I voiced out my surprise as I turned my head to look over to her. She blushed nervously as she looked up.

"W-Well I thought that Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon would be a good addition to my deck…"

"No, that's aside the point. How did you even get the card!?" I wondered. If I remember correctly, Darkness should've been the only one with that card.

"A-Ah… I have some connections with Industrial Illusions, so I asked them to make it for me…" Yuma mumbled nervously as she slowly looked down to her feet.

"Even so, that card is dangerous…" What if its darkness consumes Yuma…? Yuma then smiled, to my surprise as she got up.

"Don't worry! I love dragons and dragons love me, so it'll be alright!"

"What kind of logic is that?"

"At any case, let's duel!" Yuma said cheerfully as I glanced at her hands and noticed her adding the card to her deck.

I sighed in defeat. "Fine then." I then smiled as I looked forward towards Yuma. "It's time…! To duel!"

"… It would've been okay if you sang the song."

"As if I want to sing that!"

*SCENE TRANSITION*

We were now at dueling distance. As the clouds cleared and the sun shined upon our battlefields, we smirked at one another, activating our duel disks. The dirt ground shined and the soil flowed beautifully; the sound of the river went into our ears as we closed our eyes and listened to nature. The wind blew gently and the birds chirped. We then opened our eyes and looked at one another seriously.

Duel!

And then… a rainbow formed in the sky.
