0713MM: Hey guys! I welcome you to Chapter 7 of my Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds AU! In this duel, it's Toby Tredwell vs. Aura Flood/Teal Eyed Demon! I don't own Aura, nor her cards, nor do I own 5Ds. But I do own this fanfic. Chapter start!
Chapter 7
Aura was walking down the hall to the field for her match a frown on her face.
That woman had powers much stronger than a Psychic Duelist. Not only that, but that dark energy I sensed from her… It wasn't normal-no, not human. She thought with a frown. But I can't think about her right now. There's something more important to deal with, and that's Toby.
"Hello everybody! I have been informed that Jack Atlas is now recovering and will be alright! So now we'll move to our next match!" MC announced. "And our duelists will take the field! We have the young boy who is a surprise to all, Toby Tredwell!" The crowd cheered as Toby was on the field with a light smile. "And his opponent, the merciless Teal Eyed Demon herself! Aura Flood!" MC yelled. The crowd instantly went from cheering to yelling angrily as Aura got on the field, her frown still on her face as she glanced at Toby. After a few moments, Toby spoke.
"It's been awhile, Aura." Toby told her.
"Are you really Toby?" She demanded. At her questioned, Toby gave her a confused look. After a minute, he caught on to what she was asking. He laughed lightly.
"Yes, I am the really Toby." He replied.
"Cut the nonsense." She retorted coldly.
"Eh?" Toby questioned. "If you don't believe me, why bother asking me I'm really Toby?" He then shrugged. "On second thought, don't answer that. You won't believe me anyway."
"You're dead. There was a body." She frowned. "Yet here you are, standing right here. Can't blame me for doubting."
"I suppose not." Toby rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before he frowned. "I know that you probably won't care, but I'm going to say that I'm sorry for Reyna's behavior during her duel against Jack Atlas." She raised an eyebrow at his apologetic words.
"What made you think I would care?" She questioned.
"Not certain exactly." Toby admitted before he shook his head. "Never mind. Let's duel, Aura." Her frown deepened at his words.
He talks like Toby, acts like Toby. No matter how much I look and hear, it's really Toby. But how?! She thought. Guess I can only find out… She then activated her duel disk.
"Fine with me." She replied. Toby nodded before activating his duel disk.
"DUEL!"
"My turn draw!" Aura yelled, before thinking. I'll start light. (Aura's hand: 6 cards. Toby's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000.) She looked at her hand for a moment. "Ok, I Summon Aurastar, Tabbi the Creature Tamer!" And a young lady appeared on the field cheerfully. Her green aura flaring. (Aurastar, Tabbi the Creature Tamer, Level: 4, Attribute: EARTH, Type: Warrior/Effect, ATK/DEF: 1600/1000. Aura's hand: 5 cards. Toby's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000.)
"Tabbi's effect! When she's Summoned, I can Special Summon a Beast or Winged Beast monster from my hand." Aura spoke. "I Special Summon the Tuner monster Aurastar Scarlet Leopard!" Tabbi whistled and the scarlet red furred leopard appeared on the field with a growl. (Aurastar Scarlet Leopard, Level: 3, Attribute: DARK, Type: Beast/Tuner/Effect, ATK/DEF: 1200/500. Aura's hand: 4 cards. Toby's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000.) Aura then raised her right arm up.
"Level 3 Scarlet Leopard tunes level 4 Tabbi!" Aura yelled, as her leopard leaped to become 3 green rings and Tabbi went through them glowing transparent. "Fallen angel graze your wings and defeat your enemy! Synchro Summon! Descend, Level 7! Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel!" The audience gasped as black feathers fell from below and Bloodedge flew down to the field wielding his spear Aura catching one of the black feathers. (Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel, Level: 7, Attribute: DARK, Type: Warrior/Synchro/Effect, ATK/DEF: 2500/2000. Aura's hand: 4 cards. Toby's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000.) Toby observed the monster with interest.
"What is this?! A different Synchro monster from the Teal Eyed Beast?!" MC gaped, surprised. At the MC's words, Toby rolled his eyes.
"I get that he's supposed to be a commentator, but seriously." Toby groaned. "It's quite obvious why she chose Bloodedge instead of Beast." He looked at Aura before waving his hands in apologetic manner. "Not meaning you or your monster any disrespect with that remark."
"Can't say you can blame him or them for the matter." Aura replied lightly, motioning to the audience with the black feather she held. The audience were looking at Bloodedge, surprised; muttering among themselves. "They expect Beast because of what I am. So to see a non demonic like monster from me is quite the surprise to them."
"Fair." Toby agreed.
"But fortunately for them, they'll get what they want soon enough and we'll be hearing the shouts of discord as scheduled." She shrugged.
"We shall see." Toby remarked.
"I place 2 cards face down and end my turn." Aura finished. (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000.) Toby placed his right hand on top of hs Deck,
"My turn, draw!" Toby declared as he drew his card. (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 6 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000.) Toby looked at the card in his hand and he nodded.
"This'll do." He spoke moreso to himself. He then grabbed a card from his hand and revealed it. "I activate the Continuous Spell, Alien Colony." Upon declaration, the continuous spell appeared. Its artwork depicted of many alien creatures, going in and out of a hive-like colony.
"Alien Colony...so an Alien Deck." Aura muttered lowly.
"Correct." Toby nodded. "This is my Deck. He then revealed and played another Continuous Spell, Code A Ancient Ruins. "Now that my Spells are active, I'll start Summoning my Aliens." He pulled another card from his hand. "And I'll Normal Summon the Tuner monster, Alien Cell." A light blue alien cell monster appeared onto Toby's field. Once it did, he revealed another card. "Alien Dog effect! When I Normal Summon an Alien monster, I can Special Summon this card from my hand!" The alienatic dog appeared next to the light blue Alien. (Alien Cell, Level 1 LIGHT Reptile-type Tuner monster, ATK/DEF: 500. Alien Dog, Level 3 LIGHT Reptile-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1500/1000. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 2.) Toby gestured to Alien Dog as it glowed a bright aura.
"Alien Dog effect!" Toby announced. "When I Special Summon it via its own effect, I can place 2 A-Counters on monsters you control!" He pointed to Bloodedge. "Of course, you control only 1 monster. So I must put them on your Bloodedge. (Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 2. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 2.)
"Those counters…" Aura frowned. Toby raised his right arm upwards.
"I now tune my Level 1 Alien Cell with my Level 3 Alien Dog!" Toby declared as the 2 monsters turned into 4 white stars and soared into the green pillar of light. "From a cell can be born a new life! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 4! Armored Alien!" Out of the green pillar of light came forth an armored version of Alien Kid. (Armored Alien, attribute: LIGHT, type: Reptile/Synchro, Level 4, ATK/DEF: 1800/1200. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 2. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 3. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.)
"Since 2 Alien monsters were sent to the Graveyard, I place 1 A-Counters on my Ancient Ruins and 1 on your monster." Toby explained. He then gestured to his Armored Alien. "And since I Summoned a new Alien, I place another A-Counter on your monster." (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 3 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 2. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 4. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.) "Armored Alien! With its effect, I revive my Alien Dog!" The alienatic dog re-emerged onto the field. "And now that he's back, I place yet another A-Counter on your monster." (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 3 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 2. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.)
"5 counters." Aura frowned. "Gonna finally explain their purpose?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Toby remarked. "Alien Colony gives my Ancient Ruins a counter. (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 3 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 2. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 2.) Toby then pulled a card from his hand. "Now by removing 1 A-Counter from my Colony and 1 from Code A, I can Special Summon Alien Overlord from my hand!" A multi-armed alienatic life form appeared next to Toby's Synchro monster, (Alien Overlord, Level 6 DARK Reptile-type monster, ATK/DEF: 2500/1600. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 1. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.)
"From Counters, to Synchro Summoning, and now a Special Summon! Toby is on a roll!" MC yelled, the audience cheering. Toby thrusted his right hand forward as he gestured to his Alien Colony.
"Colony effect!" Toby continued. "I place 1 A-Counter on your monster!" (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 1. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 6. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.) He then gestured to Overlord. "Overlord effect! I place yet another A-Counter on your monster!" (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 1. Aurastar, Bloodedge Fallen Angel's A-Counters: 7. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.)
"What's the point of all those Counters?" Sayer wondered aloud as he watched the duel. Luna glanced at Sayer, then back to the screen to watch the duel.
I have a bad feeling about what those A-Counters could be for… Luna thought.
I could use my Colony's 2nd effect to Special Summon Alien Mother from my Deck, or to revive my Alien Cell from the Graveyard and Synchro Summon again. Toby thought. But there's no need to keep extending my turn when I know I have the duel won. Toby thrusted his right hand forward.
"Battle!" Toby declared. "Alien Dog, attack Bloodedge!" The dog released out a unknown sound that could be classified as a bark as it charged towards Bloodedge.
"Bloodedge has 2500 ATK while your dog only has 1500." Aura scowled, before she grew wide eyed. "Wait!"
"So you figured it out, eh?" Toby grinned. "See, thanks to my Overlord, if an Alien monster battles, your monster loses 300 ATK/DEF for each A-Counter placed on it!"
"Incredible! With Bloodedge having 7 counters, then this means-!" MC began.
"Your Bloodedge loses 2100 ATK and DEF!" Toby finished for MC. Bloodedge's ATK and DEF fell to 400 and 0.
"In that case I activate my trap Damage Diet!" Aura countered. "With this, I take halve the damage I would take this turn!"
"Humph, so you'll survive this turn." Toby grunted as his Dog bit Bloodedge; thus destroying it. (Aura's LP: 4000 - 550 = 3450. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 3450. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 1. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 1.) Toby then pulled a card from his hand. "I'm not gonna let those 7 A-Counters go to waste, so I activate the Quick-Play Spell, A-Distribution!" Toby declared. "Now I place 4 A-Counters on Colony, and 3 A-Counters on my Code A Ancient Ruins!" (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 1 card. Aura's LP: 3450. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"Wh-What? So that's what those A-Counters were for?!" Sayer growled.
"My attack isn't over yet!" Toby spoke as he thrusted his right hand forward. "Armored Alien, Alien Overlord, direct attack" Both monsters attacked Aura; thus pushing her backwards a bit. (Aura's LP: 3450 - 900 = 1250 = 1300. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 1 card. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"Oh no!" Luna cried out. "Aura!" Sayer grit his teeth and threw a glass at the wall in utmost frustration.
"This can't be happening!" Sayer nearly screamed. "How can Aura lose to this….weakling?!"
Aura dusted herself off tapping the ground with the heel of her boot.
"You managed to push me back. Your powers got stronger?" She wondered.
"You could say that." Toby admitted.
"I see." She remarked lightly. "I remember back in the Movement you had trouble to just releasing your powers. Something's changed about you."
"Is there something wrong about me?" Toby questioned.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out." She replied, looking at the black feather in her hand. Toby shrugged, then played the last card in his hand, Pot of Greed; thus enabling him to draw 2 more cards. He looked at the cards before smiling and setting them.
"I set 2 cards to end my turn." Toby finished. (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"Well, that certainly was impressive." Akiza remarked. "Now only did he weaken Bloodedge severely, but managed to deal 2700 points of damage to Aura." She glanced at Misty, who bore a frown on her face. This caused Akiza to frown as well. "Misty?"
"Something is not right." Misty noted. "I don't recall Toby ever using that Alien deck he's using now. I remember dueling him when we were younger and he had a Ritual Deck."
"Oh. Yeah." Akiza began to remember. "I remember now. I dueled him quite a bit when we were younger. And he did indeed used a Ritual Deck back then. Gishki I think." Misty nodded at Akiza's words.
"Correct." Misty spoke. "So him using Reptiles just seems strange."
"Or maybe your just jealous that he's using a Reptile Deck like his elder sister." Akiza teased. Misty crossed her arms and humphed. Despite Akiza's little tease, both girls frowns returned.
But Misty is right. Akiza thought. Toby didn't have a Reptile Deck. What made him change decks?
"Would you look at that." Reyna remarked. "Toby's doing quite well, and he hasn't even unleashed his full power yet." She glanced at Nero, then she sighed heavily noticing that he was still asleep. "You're hopeless, Nero."
"It's your move Aura." Toby beckoned to her with his right hand. Aura pocketed her feather before drawing.
"My turn draw!" (Aura's hand: 3 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"Aura Flood has only 3 cards in her hand, 1 set card, and no monsters on her side of the field! Will she be able to even make a dent on Toby?!" MC demanded.
"Yeah! Get rid of the Demon!"
"We don't want that Teal Eyed Demon here!"
"Just lose you monster!" The audiences' retorts and angry shouts rang throughout the stadium. Toby glanced around, then his eyes looked back at Aura, whose expression was emotionless and unreadable. After about a few minutes, Toby clenched his fists at their angry yelling for him to defeat the Teal Eyed Demon.
"Would you lot just shut up?!" Toby snapped. Aura looked at him, surprised by his shout, along with the rest of the audience.
"He's…..He's defending the Teal Eyed Demon?" A few audience members muttered.
"Then he's in line with her!" Others yelled. "Both of you get off the arena!" The audiences' angry shouts at both Toby and Aura grew louder; thus making Toby tsk.
"Oh boy here we go." Aura sighed, feeling mentally exhausted already. Toby turned to face the audience, then back to Aura.
I know I'm secretly your enemy Aura, but…..I don't want to hear this anymore. Toby thought to himself.
"Don't listen to them Aura." Toby told her. "They don't understand you like I can."
"Oh?" She questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"That's right." Toby answered. "When I look at you now, I see myself in your shoes. And by imagining me in your shoes, my sympathy spikes." He paused before adding. "Just because we're different from everyone else, doesn't mean we aren't still human. We are human. But due to human nature, severe changes, or severe differences in the world confuse us. It makes us angry, frustrated, and want to remove the change or difference at any cost." He put his right hand to his chest. "But I'm not like the audience around us. I accept you as a Psychic Duelist."
Sayer listened to Toby's words and he grit his teeth.
The hell is that boy doing?! Sayer thought.
Aura looked at him shocked, her eyes shadowed for a moment before a giggle slipped out of her before it became full blown laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha!" She laughed.
"Did I say something funny?" Toby raised an eyebrow.
"Hahahaha, yup; you're so Misty's little brother." She snickered, a hand on her forehead, shaking her head.
"And that's funny how?" Toby frowned, clearly not understanding what Aura was getting at.
"How you can talk about me as if I'm normal? Yeah it's you alright. But you made a mistake." She smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Toby's frown deepened.
"Your mistake is that I do deserve this ridicule." She replied, her eyes darkened much to his shock. "For I am a Demon that is soaked in blood." Toby was shocked as Aura raised a card from her hand. "I activate my own Pot of Greed, which lets me draw 2 cards." She drew 2 more cards from her Deck. "Next I Normal Summon Aurastar Paladin!" Her paladin appeared on her field wielding his sword high. (Aurastar Paladin, Level: 4, Attribute: LIGHT, Type: Warrior/Effect, ATK/DEF: 2000/500. Aura's hand: 3 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"Now if I have a level 4 or lower monster on my field, I can Special Summon the Tuner monster Aurastar Libra!" Aura continued, as the elegant scale holding woman appeared. (Aurastar Libra, Level: 4, Attribute: LIGHT, Type: Spellcaster/Tuner/Effect, ATK/DEF: 1500/1000. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"2 level 4 monsters! You all know what's coming!" MC gasped.
"Level 4 Libra tunes Level 4 Paladin!" Aura yelled, raising her right arm as Libra and Paladin became 8 green "The innocence has died and is reborn as sin the holy has fallen! Now appear from the other world and eat your fill under the moon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself my inner demon, Level 8! Aurastar Teal Eyed Beast!" The space shattered as Beast stepped out spreading his wings before roaring loudly causing shockwaves once more. (Aurastar Teal Eyed Beast, Level: 8, Attribute: DARK, Type: Fiend/Synchro/Effect, ATK/DEF: 3000/2300. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 4000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 4.)
"So that's Teal Eyed Beast…" Toby mused.
"There it is! The very essence of the Teal Eyed Demon! Aurastar Teal Eyed Beast!" MC yelled, the audience shrieking in fear.
"I must admit that it's a powerful monster." Toby spoke. "But Summoning it now shall be proven to be a waste."
"Oh really?" She questioned.
"Yeah." Toby remarked, a confident smile on his lips and he spread his arms out. "Now come at me, Aura Flood!"
Up in Goodwin's tower that stood in the center of the stadium, Goodwin, Lazer, and Yusei looked over the previous duel between Jack Atlas and Reyna, along with watching the current duel.
"That Reyna girl is insane." Lazar scowled. "If we let her advance after her stunt to Jack Atlas, we may just have to kick her out of the tournament."
"I hate to admit this Goodwin, but I agree with Lazar." Yusei added. "Letting her stay in the tournament is a very bad idea. She could seriously hurt someone else if she duels again." Goodwin frowned in regards to Reyna's duel as he looked over the duel on a seperate screen, while also paying attention to the current duel at hand. He sighed, then clasped his hands together on his desk.
"I am sorry to say this, but one incident from the girl isn't enough for me to just kick her out." Goodwin retorted.
"So you're not gonna do anything?" Yusei demanded.
"Sadly, no." Goodwin sighed. "Let's just watch the current duel to get our minds off the last one." Yusei grunted, but didn't argue further as he returned his attention to the duel between Toby and Aura.
"Beast attack Alien Dog! Savage Feast!" Aura yelled. Beast roared flying to grab the dog like monster and sank his fangs; thus destroying the monster. Toby raised his right arm to shield himself from the shock-wave. Ancient Ruins then gained a Counter (Toby's LP: 4000 - 1500 = 2500. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 2500. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 5.)
"Beast's effect! When he destroys your monster by battle, you take damage equal to its attack! Blood Curse!" Beast's hands became bloody claws, turning to Toby as he slashed at him. Toby slid backwards from the slash. (Toby's LP: 2500 - 1500 = 1000. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 1000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 5.)
"Toby!" Misty cried out as she slammed her right hand into the armrest of the chair. "Dammit…! I couldn't do anything to help him….again!"
"Misty…" Akiza spoke softly.
"What the hell!?" Beast growled.
"Huh?!" Aura gasped. Both of them were shocked to not see any form of an injury on Toby. "Not even a scratch?" Toby soon recovered from the slash from Beast. His lips in a smile.
"Ha, that tickled." He remarked.
Did we hold back without realizing it? Aura thought, confused.
"No. Neither of us held anything back. It's the boy itself." Beast grunted. "He has a power that isn't of a Psychic Duelist… It is dark, evil, and tainted." Beast growled.
"Anything else Aura?" Toby questioned. Several audience members began muttering amongst themselves regarding to how Toby survived the Teal Eyed Demon's assault from her Teal Eyed Beast.
"How did he do that?" A few spoke.
"That's not possible…" Several others muttered.
Dark, evil, and tainted? Something like with that woman Reyna then? Something is up. She thought.
"I place a card face down and end my turn." Aura concluded. ( Aura's hand: 1 card. Toby's hand: 0 cards. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 1000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 5.) Toby placed his right hand on top of his Deck.
"My turn, draw!" Toby declared as he drew his card. (Aura's hand: 1 card. Toby's hand: 1 card. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 1000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 5. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 5.) Toby looked at the card and his face turned white.
No! Not now! Toby then sighed. I'll guess I'll do this.
"I activate the effect of my Colony!" Toby announced. "I remove 2 A-Counters from each of my cards to Special Summon Alien Kid from my Deck!" The 2 A-Counters on each card vanished, then a card ejected from his Deck; thus he grabbed it and place it onto his duel disk. A small alien life form appeared onto Toby's field. (Alien Kid, Level 4 LIGHT Reptile-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1600/700. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 1 card. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 1000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 3. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 3.) He then gestured to Colony. "Colony effect! I place an A-Counter on your monster!"
"Sorry, but you won't be placing any Counters on my monsters, least of all Beast." Aura replied. "Trap activate! Spear of Longinus!" The trap was flipped up before glowing red and shot forward for Beast to catch to become a red spiral-like spear. "Spear of Longinus becomes an equip card to Beast. With this, neither this card or Beast can be targeted card effects. That includes the A-Counters. The only way to destroy them is through battle."
"Tch…!" Toby grunted. "That means Alien Kid's effect is useless too…"
"We fight for survival, no interference." She retorted.
"Ummm…" Toby spoke with uncertainty. "I…..I end my turn there." (Aura's hand: 2 cards. Toby's hand: 1 card. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 1000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 3. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 3.)
"Ehhhhh?!" Akiza gaped. "Toby isn't going to do anything else?"
"Toby…" Misty spoke softly before her lips formed a light smile. "His heart is too big for his own good."
"I know, right?" Akiza laughed lightly.
Aura grew wide eyed before sighing.
"My turn draw." She spoke. (Aura's hand: 3 cards. Toby's hand: 1 card. Aura's LP: 1300. Toby's LP: 1000. Alien Colony A-Counters: 3. Code A Ancient Ruins A-Counters: 3.)
"Know this Toby, you're words will be a waste in the end." Aura replied. "Beast attack Alien Kid! Savage Eva!" Beast roared, throwing his spear to pierce the monster's chest; thus sending it flying to be pinned on the wall; causing the audience to scream as it was destroyed.
"You're wrong, Aura." Toby remarked as his LP fell to 0. "My words won't be a waste in the end." He looked at the board to see Akiza is next to duel against his sister, Misty. "You'll see, Aura." Aura only turned away, walking off the field with Beast disappearing the audience screaming at her.
"Toby lost." Misty spoke softly.
"Yeah." Akiza admitted. "But I think he lost on purpose."
"What?" Misty questioned. "Why would he do that?"
"To get through to Aura." Akiza admitted.
"Huh." Misty murmured. "Well, I guess that makes sense. However…" Misty stood up from her chair; thus looking at Akiza and pointing her right index finger at Akiza. "It's our turn to duel, Akiza. Now that I've seen Toby again, I know I have to defeat you. Aura is my friend too."
"Misty…" Akiza spoke softly before nodding. "Right." She stood up too. "Aura is both our friend. But only one of us can advance to the next round." Misty nodded in agreement before the 2 made their way to the arena.
"And we're back for another duel for round 2!" MC declared. "With Toby's defeat and Aura's victory, we reach the 2nd to final duel for this round! A duel between 2 best friends! The world famous supermodel, Misty Tredwell!" The audience cheered as Misty rose onto the arena via the platform. The MC then gestured to the opposite side with his right hand. "And to my right, we have the one that bears the power of the Black Rose Dragon! Akiza Izinski!" Just like with Misty, the audience cheered as Akiza stepped onto her platform and rose up onto the arena. Both females bearing serious expressions.
"Like you said earlier Akiza, only one of us can advance from here!" Misty declared. "And I'll ensure that Toby's words to our friend aren't wasted!"
"As will I!" Akiza retorted as both woman activated their duel disks.
"DUEL!"
"I'll start, Akiza!" Misty declared as she drew her cards. (Akiza's hand: 5 cards. Misty's hand: 6 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Misty's LP: 4000.) Misty observed her hand before she pulled 2 cards from it. "I activate the effect of Oronaga Serpent Slime in my hand! With it, I can Fusion Summon 1 Oronaga Serpent Fusion monster from my Extra Deck buy using monsters from my hand as Fusion Material, including this card!" At that, Akiza grunted.
"Tch…..! Her signature combo….!" Akiza remarked. Both monsters turned into dark swirls of energy that soared into the Fusion Portal that appeared above Misty's field.
"Reptile born from slime and the core of its life! Arise, Level 5! Oronaga Serpent Cobra Twins!" Out of the Fusion Portal came forth a 2 bodied reptile (or rather known as an Oronaga-snake woman), onto Misty's field. Its green reptile-skin glowed brightly from the lights above. (Oronaga Serpent Cobra Twins, attribute: DARK, type: Reptile/Fusion, Level 5, ATK/DEF: 2200/2000. Akiza's hand: 5 cards. Misty's hand: 4 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Misty's LP: 4000.)
"This monster…" Akiza frowned. "So long as it's face-up on the field, we can only Special Summon once a turn."
"Correct." Misty remarked. "But now Slime's additional effect! Since it was used as Fusion Material for the Fusion Summon of an Oronaga Serpent Fusion monster, I draw 1 card!" Misty drew a card from her Deck. Upon looking at is, she smiled. "This duel is as good as over, Akiza."
"What?" Akiza questioned.
"You'll see what I mean soon enough, Akiza." Misty remarked as she grabbed 2 cards from her hand. "I set 2 cards to end my turn." (Akiza's hand: 5 cards. Misty's hand: 3 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Misty's LP: 4000.)
Her field looks like a normal field Misty would create with her Oronaga Serpent Deck. Akiza thought. Regardless, I should be careful.
"My turn, draw!" Akiza announced as she drew the top card of her Deck. (Akiza's hand: 6 cards. Misty's hand: 3 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Misty's LP: 4000.) Akiza looked at her hand, thinking her move through her head.
If I can't defeat Cobra Twins through card effects, I'll just get it off the field another way! Akiza thought. And I know just what to do! Akiza grabbed a card from her hand and revealed it.
"I'll start with the Spell card, Double Summon." Akiza spoke. "With this, I can Normal Summon twice this turn."
"Clever." Misty remarked. "With that, you bypass Cobra Twins' Special Summon restriction effect."
"Correct!" Akiza grinned. "Now, I Normal Summon Twilight Rose Knight and Sylvan Flowerknight!" Both knights appeared onto the field next to each other; clashing their swords. (Twilight Rose Knight, Level 3 DARK Warrior-type Tuner monster, ATK/DEF: 1000. Sylvan Flowerknight, Level 4 EARTH Plant-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1800/1000. Akiza's hand: 3 cards. Misty's hand: 3 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Misty's LP: 4000.) Akiza then gestured to Sylvan Flowerknight. "Flowerknight effect! Since I Normal Summoned it, I can excavate the top card of my Deck. If it's a Plant, I send it to the Graveyard, otherwise, I place the card on the bottom of my Deck."
"Go ahead." Misty spoke. "But we both know it'll be a Plant monster." Akiza grinned at Misty's words as she drew the top card and revealed it. Indeed it was a Plant monster. Spore, to be accurate. Akiza then raised her right arm upwards.
"You know what's next, Misty!" Akiza declared. "I tune my Level 3 Twilight Rose Knight with my Level 4 Sylvan Flowerknight!" Both monsters turned into 7 white stars as they flew into the green pillar of light. Shortly after, Akiza began to chant. "Lofty rose that buds in a garden of integrity! Bloom here, watered by blue moonlight! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 7! Black Rose Moonlight Dragon!" Out of the green pillar came forth Black Rose Dragon, but she bore some differences. For instance, she was filled with bright energy. And her name was Black Rose Moonlight Dragon. Said dragon roared at Misty, who held a calm expression. (Black Rose Moonlight Dragon, Level 7 LIGHT Dragon-type Synchro monster, ATK/DEF: 2400/1800. Akiza's hand: 3 cards. Misty's hand: 3 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Misty's LP: 4000.)
"And Akiza brings out her Black Rose Moonlight Dragon!" MC declared. Akiza then pointed her right index finger at Oronaga Serpent Cobra Twins. "Moonlight Dragon effect! When she's Special Summoned, or when you Special Summon a Level 5 or higher monster, I can return 1 Special Summoned monster you control to the hand! You only control one, so bye-bye Cobra Twins!" Black Rose Moonlight Dragon's body glowed a bright aura, and Misty's Fusion monster vanished from her field and back to her Extra Deck. "With this, you're wide open, Misty! Black Rose Moonlight Dragon, direct attack! Moonlight Burst!" Black Rose Moonlight Dragon opened her mouth and prepared to fire a beam of energy at Misty. However…
"Your so focused on saving our friend, Aura, that you've forgotten about my set cards!" Misty retorted. "Had you been focused on the duel and not my brother's words to Aura, you would have chosen to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon!" Misty retorted firmly.
"What?" Akiza frowned.
"Continuous Trap card, activate!" Misty announced. "Trial of the Sphinx!" Upon declaration, the continuous trap card flipped face-up and glowed brightly. Akiza tsked as she covered her eyes with her right arm. Misty then raised her right hand and thrusted it forward. "Consider this your trial to advancing, Akiza! Fail, and you'll be defeated for certain!"

And like Akiza said before there duel started, only one of them will advance. What does Misty mean by her words towards Akiza and her solely focusing on what Toby told Aura during the previous duel?
