"My turn! With the already set Pendulum Scales, I Pendulum Summon! Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters! Firstly, Entermate Turn Toad! And with its wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya shouted, before hopping onto Odd Eyes. An Action Card… Then, he spotted one and pointed to it. "Let's go, Odd Eyes!"
The red dragon let out an agreeing roar and ran towards the card. Yuzu and the others laughed and shouted in encouragement, but Yumi's eyes were fixed on Hokuto, whose mouth had twisted into a smile. Then, he moved his hand to his duel disk. "I activate Pleiades's effect. I detach one overlay unit…"
"Yuya! Get off Odd Eyes!" She shouted at the boy in sudden realisation, who stared at her in confusion.
"And I return a monster on the field to your hand! Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" He finished. Odd Eyes disappeared and Yuya fell off the ridge. Hokuto laughed at him as he fell, and Yuzu let out a cry of alarm.
"I activate the trap card, Entermate Revival! I special summon Entermate Sword Fish!" As he said that, he grabbed onto Sword Fish and used it as a grappling hook to clutch into the wall, stopping himself from falling. The spectators breathed sighs of relief. Then, he climbed up and grabbed an Action Card. He smiled, but Hokuto activated an Action Card.
"I activate Cosmic Arrow! Since you added a Spell Card to your hand without drawing it, I can destroy it!" He declared. The card was destroyed, and Yuya's eyes widened.
No! I thought I found a way out…
"My turn! I draw! I'll Normal Summon Constellar Sombre! I'll activate Sombre's effect! I'll banish Algiedi from the Graveyard and return Kaus to my hand! Then, Sombre allows me to Normal Summon again this turn! I'll Normal Summon Kaus and activate his effect to increase both Sombre and Kaus's levels to 5. Then, I overlay them! Light of the stars, descend and shake this very earth! Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Constellar Pleiades!"
Another Pleiades appeared on the field, this one with purple swirling lights around it. Hokuto grinned. "And now, I'll activate the effect of the Pleiades with no Overlay Units! I can overlay it with itself to Xyz Summon Constellar Ptolemy M7!"
The monster appeared on the field, and then Hokuto spoke up again. "I'll detach an overlay unit and return Turn Toad to your hand! Then, Pleiades attacks your Sword Fish!"
Yuya was blasted away. He turned around, eyes wild. I need an Action Card! Where is it?
"Ptolemy M7, attack!"
There! He grabbed the Action Card. "I activate the spell card, Twinkle Comet! I'll reduce your monster's attack by 1000 and deal you 500 damage!"
Hokuto: 3500 LP
"And I still take damage."
Yuya: 400 LP
"How dare you…"
"Eh?" Yuya looked up to Hokuto, whose face was filled with anger.
"You dealt me damage!"
"Well, of course! That's the only way to win!" Yumi spoke from the sidelines, while Sora laughed. "Sore loser!"
"This is the first time I've been dealt damage in 40 duels… I'll crush you!" He roared. "I activate the Continuous Spell card, Constellar Tempest! During the end phase, I halve your life points! I end my turn!"
Yuya: 200 LP
"My turn! I draw! Then, I summon Entermate Trampolynx! With its effect, I'll return Stargazer Magician from my Pendulum Zone to my hand! Then, I'll set the Scale 3 Entermate Turn Toad in the Pendulum Zone! Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters! Firstly, Stargazer Magician! And then, let's welcome back Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
"Stupid!" Hokuto cackled. "I activate Pleiades's effect! I return Odd Eyes to your hand!"
"Nope! Stargazer Magician's effect activates! Since Odd Eyes left the field, I can summon it! Let's go, Odd Eyes! I'll activate Entermate Turn Toad's Pendulum Effect! I swap Stargazer's attack and defence! Then, I'll activate Magical Star Illusion! I'll give a boost to my monsters! The total levels of the monsters on my field is 14! So all my monsters gain 1400 attack points!"
"But I don't have any! You cheat!" Hokuto shouted.
"Odd Eyes attacks your M7! Stargazer attacks Pleiades! Trampolynx attacks you!"
"No!" Hokuto screamed as Trampolynx hit him.
Hokuto: 0 LP
"Phew." Yuya smiled as the Action Field faded away.
Lyn: 4000 LP
Kyla: 2500 LP
"Black Fauna's effect!" Kyla shouted. "All attack or defence boosts on the field are negated, and then Black Fauna gains attack equal to the total change! I'll take your 4000 attack points, thank you!"
"Aww…" Lyn pouted, before laughing. "I'll activate my Flower Fairy Ritual Dragon's second effect! It is not affected by card effects, and when an effect is activated, all monsters on the field permanently gain 1000 attack! Even yours."
"So your dragon keeps its attack points. Very well." Kyla replied. "My Lilac Bunny's effect activates. I pay 500 life points and discard a card to skip your draw and battle phase next turn!"
Kyla: 2000 LP
"Seriously?" Lyn asked with a cheerful smile on her face. "You're down to half your life now! Watch your life points."
"I'll activate Bunny Fusion Box's effect. I'll fuse my Green Bunny and my Blue Bunny. Calming green spectrum of light! Mold with the bright blue colour of the sea and show yourself! Fusion Summon! Come on out! Aquamarine Bunny!"
The rabbit that flew out looked innocent, and Lyn cooed at it. Kyla almost smiled at that, before continuing with, "I activate Aquamarine's effect. For every fusion monster on the field, once per turn, I gain 1000 life points."
Kyla: 5000 LP
"Come on!" Lyn complained. "I just cut them down!"
7500 ATK points in that dragon… I'll need something big to destroy it! Black Fauna's at 3500 right now, Aquamarine's at 2500 and Lilac is at 2800. I have to…
"I'll play the equip spell card, Bunny Attack Force to my Black Fauna! For every Bunny on the field, Fauna gains 1000 ATK. Then, I'll play another equip spell card, Burrow Fangs! I can reduce Black Fauna's defence to 0 to add 3000 ATK to it! Black Fauna's attacks your dragon!"
Lyn gave a smile. "Please, go on." The smile was eerily still there as her dragon was destroyed.
Lyn: 3000 LP
"Then, I'll set a card and end my turn!" Kyla looked to Lyn and her gaze softened. "Come back with me, Lyn! I can get the Professor to reduce the punishment!"
There was a low chuckle from Lyn, before said girl lifted her head again, indigo eyes glowing. "I'm starting to think that you actually believe you can defeat me. My turn." She drew her card, before she grinned at Kyla. "It's time for me to play my final card. You've already been caught in my web, Kyla! I activate the second effect of Flower Dragon Ritual! I banish it from the graveyard and special summon my Flower Fairy Ritual Dragon from the graveyard. Feasting fairy dragon that feeds on the life force of its fellow fairies! Show yourself, betrayer of those who raised you, O cruel dragon, and reign hell!"
"You never used that effect before!" Kyla exclaimed. Lyn gave her a mocking bow.
"Take this as a compliment, because I never needed to use it before." The dragon appeared on the field. "Due to the effect of Flower Dragon Ritual, my Flower Fairy Ritual Dragon gains 1000 ATK for every spell and trap card on the field! That's 4000 attack! So my Dragon's attack becomes 6500!"
That was impressive. But my face down can just redirect the attack to my Dragon-
"Still, I want to give you a good defeat, Kyla. So I'll activate the spell Book of Moon to make your dragon go into face down defence position."
"My dragon's defence is 0…"
"Yep! And my Flower Fairy Ritual Dragon is going to attack it!"
"But you shouldn't be able to attack!"
"Nope. My dragon isn't affected by card effects."
Lyn laughed as her dragon destroyed the other dragon, before moving in front of Kyla. "My dragon deals piercing damage!"
Kyla: 0 LP
Lyn walked away. "Get stronger, Kyla… and don't fight battles you can't win. You'll never win against me."
She stopped, placing her head on the wall. "God, my head… feels like something's dying inside it…" The pain in her head increased slightly, before she slumped onto the ground. "Make it stop…"
Run, fairy. You can't escape me forever.
A/N: Well, that last part was creepy :p Anyway, I'm considering just skipping the LDS vs YSDS duels, because we already know what happens from the anime. What do you think?
Also, what do you think will be the theme of the Synchro Counterpart's deck? We have Yumi's Stellar Spirits, Lyn's Flower Fairies and Kyla's Paint Bunnies so far.
For clarification, the piercing effect came from the Ritual Card, not the dragon itself.
Anyway, cards for this chapter:
Lilac Bunny(6*/1800ATK/2000DEF/DARK/BEAST/FUSION)
Once per turn, you may discard a card and pay 500 life points to skip your opponent's draw and battle phase next turn.
Fauna Fusion(Spell)
You may fusion summon a monster from the extra deck using fusion materials from your hand or field as long as one of the fusion materials is a "Beast" type monster.
Black Fauna Fusion Dragon(7*/2500ATK/2000DEF/DARK/DRAGON/FUSION)
While this monster is on the field, all opposing monsters have their stat boosts negated and this monster gains those stat boosts.
When this monster is destroyed, you may remove a "Bunny" monster in your graveyard from play to special summon it back to the field.
Bunny Fusion Box(Spell/Continuous)
Once per turn, you may fusion summon a monster from your extra Deck without a "Polymerisation" card.
Aquamarine Bunny(6*/1800ATK/2000DEF/WATER/BEAST/FUSION)
Once per turn, for every Fusion monster on your field, you may regain 1000 life points.
And that's it! I would like to thank all the people who have favourited and followed this story so far. It really makes me happy to know someone likes my story, so thank you!
Anyway, signing out!
~Eevee~
