Chapter 11: An Aquatic Revelation (Part 1)

Just then, the spirit of Toshiro Hitsugaya appeared next to Zeke.

"Oh, Toshiro!"

Said spirit got a tic.

"Hey! Don't call me that! Only Momo can!"

"Hehe. Yeah, yeah. But, why does the Siren hate you?"

"I have no idea. But you need to defeat her."

"Hey, you know me! Of course I will!"

Toshiro disappeared and Zeke continued his turn.

"Now I'll bring out Momo Hinamori (LV 4) in Attack Position!" A girl with brown eyes wearing standard Shinigami robes with her black hair hung down in a bob with a clip on the left side appeared. She smiled. (ATK: 1400/DEF: 1400)

"Who are we dueling, Zeke?" She asked. That caused Zeke to frown.

"I'm dueling the Siren of Sacrifice. But it's not a fun duel. She's trying to get rid of you guys."

"She is!? You won't let her, will you?" She asked panickingly. Zeke clenched his fist and shook his head.

"I'll give up my life making sure she won't! Can you help me?"

Momo nodded and smiled.

"Okay, let's do this, Momo. I equip you with Tobiume."

A regular katana with five-petal flower designs stamped on the rectangular tsuba with a light red handle appeared and Momo grabbed it. But Siren laughed and activated her face-down. A seal appeared on Tobiume.

"You won't have the chance to use that sword! I activate Magic Jammer. By discarding 1 card, your Spell is not just negated, but destroyed."

"What!? No!"

Tobiume was then destroyed, saddening Zeke.

"That's not good. I set 1 card and end my turn." A card appeared. The Siren drew a card and smiled.

"I thought this Duel would challenge me. I summon another Abyss Soldier in Attack Position." Another humanoid whale appeared.

"This is where it ends! Your friends will be lost to you forever! I discard 1 card to return Momo to your hand." Abyss Soldier conjured water, the Siren expecting it to affect Momo, but was surprised when the water returned Mobius.

"Mobius... How was my Mobius affected!?"

Zeke chuckled, getting the Siren's attention. Zeke turned her attention to his face-up Trap card.

"I used Soul Shift. When you use a monster effect that affects my Soul Reaper, I can redirect to another monster, even yours."

The Siren was angered and annoyed at first, but then she smiled.

"Very impressive move. Unfortunately, I can only use Abyss Soldier's effect once per turn. Though, I can still attack you. Attack Momo!" Abyss Soldier rushed at Momo, stabbed her and destroyed her.

Zeke: 1500

"I end with that."

Momo and Toshiro's spirits then appeared.

"Are you alright, Zeke?" Momo asked.

"Yeah. But the Siren's tough."

"You better hurry. Or Rukia's going to call you an "idiot"." Toshiro said with a smile. Zeke tensed up.

"Uh…I-I know. I-I better hurry."

The spirits disappeared and Zeke drew a card. (2).

"First, I Normal Summon Yachiru Kusajishi (LV 3) in Attack Position." A very small, young girl with pink, flat hair, with a cross-bone hair-clip in it, dark pink eyes and a perpetual blush on her cheeks appeared. She wore the normal Shinigami robes and a lieutenant's insignia on her arm. (ATK: 1700/DEF: 1400)

The Siren smiled.

"She's very strong for a Level 3 monster."

"I told you not to call my friends monsters!"

"How about I call them gone, because that is what they will be when I defeat you? Hmm?"

"Not as long as my friends have my back! Speaking of, I activate Reaper Domination. You gain 1000 Life Points, but your Abyss Soldier is destroyed." A Soul Reaper in a black cloak, carrying a sword appeared. He ran up to Abyss Soldier and destroyed it, before disappearing.

Siren: 5000

The Siren smiled.

"Is giving me Life Points worth it?"

"It sure is, because I also draw 3 cards."

Zeke drew and smiled.

"Now usually, I don't like giving my Soul Reapers ATK-boosting Equip Spells, but you're an exception."

"Thank you for calling me strong. I won't return the compliment."

"Heh. Funny thing; I wasn't complimenting you. I equip Yachiru with Axe of Despair. It gives her 1000 ATK." A fiendish-looking axe appeared and Yachiru grabbed it. (ATK: 2700)

"Yachiru, attack Abyss Soldier!" Yachiru ran up to Abyss Soldier and raised her axe. But since it was a little heavy, she dropped it, but recovered it and destroyed the humanoid whale.

Siren: 3100

"I end my turn." The siren drew a card (1) and smiled.

"You put me in a tight spot; but let's face it. You won't win. I use Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. Then I set 1 monster face-down and end my turn." An unknown monster appeared. Zeke drew a card. He smiled.

"Admit it! I got you on the ropes!"

"On the contrary; once I draw who I need, I'll have you on the ropes!"

"Then bring it! But first, I'll attack that face-down with Momo!"

Momo ran up to the unknown, revealing it. It was a blue grizzly bear. Momo slashed and destroyed it. But the siren fanned her deck and played a card. Another blue grizzly appeared. (ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200)

"Looks like your friend just cost you the duel. When Mother Grizzly is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon a WATER monster with 1500 ATK or less from my deck. And Mother Grizzly was the perfect choice."

"I end my turn."

A card appeared behind Momo. The Siren drew a card and smiled.

"This battle is over! Activate! A Legendary Ocean!"

Suddenly, everything started to get submerged by water with ruins emerging in the background.

"And it truly is legendary, because all WATER monsters in my hand has their levels reduced by 1. Next, I send Mother Grizzly to the graveyard to Tribute Summon Levia-Dragon-Daedalus(LV 6) in Attack Position."

Mother Grizzly disappeared and a mile-long blue-skinned dragon with a gem embedded on its head appeared and roared. (ATK: 2600/DEF: 1500)

"WATER monsters also gain 200 ATK and DEF." (ATK: 2800/DEF: 1700)

"But I want to defeat you and Levia alone isn't the answer."

"Then what is?"

"Levia's ability."

"Ability?"

"Yes. By sending "Umi" to the graveyard, every other card other than Levia is destroyed."

"Ha! That's your fault! "Umi" isn't on the field. You only have A Legendary Ocean."

"You fool! A Legendary Ocean is treated as "Umi"."

"What!? It is!?"

"Yes. So watch as everything you have is washed away!" Levia roared, causing all the water to disappeared, it taking every on Zeke's side of the field with it. The Siren smiled and laughed.

"Hahaha! This is it! Levia, attack Zeke directly! Finally, my only friend will be happy!" Levia shot a stream of water at Zeke, knocking him back. The spirits of Rukia, Momo, Toshiro and Renji appeared.

"Zeke! Noo!" Momo cried out. Rukia turned her head and said, "Idiot," but it was out of sadness this time. The Siren laughed.

"Yes! Now, Tier Harribel will be happy!" She exclaimed, causing Toshiro to raise an eyebrow.
