Me: ''Sigh'' I made another mistake in last duel.
Rua: What kind?
Me: Hanewata's effect cannot be used during the damage step. Well it's too late to complain now. Suzy do the disclaimer.
Suzy: Gyaradosmaster doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, but he apparently owns me? That sounded weird.
Me: I agree… Anyway Enjoy the Chapter!
It was awkward. Too awkward for him. Due to Suzy's kiss he couldn't think straight and then there was Patty. She was crying…but he wasn't exactly sure why. Rua was walking around the halls of Duel Academy. Ruka and Sly had won their match, so they would be up against them, but the match was tomorrow.
''Hey Rua! What's up?'' Bob asked appearing out of nowhere.
''Nothing but…'' Rua started but was quickly interrupted.
''Good because I feel like somebody is spying on me.'' Bob said looking around. Rua looked at him suspiciously.
''Are you sure it's not somebody who's angry at you for eating all muffins from the cafeteria?'' Rua asked with slight anger. He had wanted those muffins.
''No I'm sure it's not that… it's dark feeling. Like someone wants to kill me.'' Bob said scared. Rua nodded, but then returned to his sad state.
''Well my problem is a lot worse.'' Rua said looking at the ground. Bob looked quite interested about this.
''Well tell me about it.'' Bob said and they started to walk around. In the dark corner near that area Shado was watching.
''You can't hide from fate. It's written in the Prophecy, Betrayal in the Flames.'' Shado thought and turned into a shadow since apparently he can do that and followed them around.
''That sounds bad.'' Bob said staring down at Rua.
''Only bad? It's horrible. How can I duel like this?'' Rua said. Bob looked at him sad.
''I'm sure good night sleep will help. Besides it's starting to be late anyway.'' Bob said looking outside of the window. Rua nodded and started to walk towards his dorm. Once he got inside he noticed that Tenpei was lying on his bed. He quickly glared at him.
''Hey Tenpei.'' He said trying to keep his voice normal. Tenpei noticed him and stood up.
''Hey Rua. Congratulations again for winning.'' Tenpei said smiling slightly. Rua just nodded. Rua nodded and climbed to his bed. (AN: He sleeps on the top bunk)
''So good luck on your match with Ruka and Sly.'' Tenpei said. He had a weird feeling that the situation was tense.
''Yeah, thanks.'' Rua said quietly.
''Are you okay? You seem kind of weird.'' Tenpei said worried.
''It's nothing. Good night!'' Rua said and went to sleep. Tenpei just shook the feeling off and went to sleep as well.
Tomorrow morning at the arena
''Good morning duelists! Are you all prepared for the final match?'' Judge said. Loud roaring answered his question. (AN: Did I do that in last chapter?)
Sly and Ruka were staring straight at Rua and Suzy. Both were prepared for this. Rua and Suzy are good duelists so it's gonna be hard.
Rua was feeling little better now. He noticed that Patty wasn't in the audience, but Tenpei and Bob were. He wasn't surprised that Patty wasn't here. He heard from Ruka that she was quite sad when she came to their room.
''Are all duelists ready?'' Judge asked and duelists nodded. ''Begin!'' He yelled and duelists activated their Duel Disks.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 8000
Sly's and Ruka's LP: 8000
''Don't worry Rua I have a good plan.'' Suzy said winking at him. Rua just nodded and looked away.
''I summon my Machina Gearframe in Attack Mode.'' Suzy said and Orange and White robot appeared.
Attr: Earth Type: Machine/Union Atk: 1800 Def: 0 Level: 4
''When Machina Gearframe is Normal Summoned I can add one Machina monster from my deck to my hand and I choose Machina Sniper. Next I activate Prohibition.'' Suzy said smirking and empty board appeared.
''What does that do?'' Ruka asked, though Sly had a hunch.
''Now I declare one card's name and card's with that name and their effects cannot be used.'' Suzy said putting press on last three words. ''And the card I choose is Gemknight Fusion.'' Suzy said and Gemknight Fusion's name appeared at the black board.
''Oh no! Now Sly can't use his fusions.'' Ruka said shocked. Without fusions Gemknights are easy to defeat. But for some reason Sly remained calm.
''I place this card Face-Down and end my turn.'' Suzy said smirking. She had destroyed main power of Sly's deck. But she was unaware of another card.
Suzy's hand: 4
''My turn.'' Sly said calmly and drew. ''Gemknight Fusion.'' He thought when he drew. Then he looked at a Trap Card in his hand. ''I place two face-downs and end my turn.'' Sly said. Everyone was surprised that Sly didn't summon any monsters.
Sly's hand: 4
''Hmph. So without Gemknight Fusion you can't do anything.'' Suzy said in an insultive tone, but Sly didn't care.
''My turn then! I summon Morphtronic Videon.'' Rua said and his Machine monster appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Machine Atk: 1000 Def: 1000 Level: 4
''Then I equip it with Morphtronic Rusty Engine. Now when monster equipped with Rusty Engine is destroyed all players take damage equal to its original Attack Points. But that's not the main point. When Morphtronic Videon is equipped by Equip Spell it gains 800 Attack Points if it's in the Attack Position.'' Rua explained.
Suzy smiled at her partner sweetly, but Rua quickly looked away. Suzy wondered why he acted like that. Didn't he like her back? ''But he didn't refuse the kiss? What's wrong with my Cutey Ruay? (AN: Okay that's just super creepy)
''Now Morphtronic Videon attack directly.'' Rua said and fired laser towards Sly. But he opened a Trap Card no one knew about.
''I activate Assemble Fusion! Now I can send from my hand and field Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Gemknight Fusion Monster and I can Fusion Summon it.'' Sly said smirking and Suzy looked shocked.
''So my Prohibition is useless!'' Suzy said shocked and Sly smirked.
''I fuse together Gemknight Rumarin and Gemknight Emeral to Fusion summon my new Gemknight. Fusion Summon, Gemknight Prismaura!'' Sly said and knight in a white armor with a lance and a shield appeared. Ruka looked impressed, Suzy looked shocked and Rua… well he was scared… like always.
Attr: Earth Type: Thunder Atk: 2450 Def: 1400 Level: 7
Sly's Hand: 2
''That's great Sly!'' Ruka said impressed and would have hugged him if they would not have been in a middle of a duel.
''That looks impressive, but I activate my Face-Down Limiter Removal. Now all Machine-Type monsters Attack Points are doubled.'' Suzy explained.
Machina Gearframe: 3600
Morphtronic Videon: 3600
''Thanks! Morphtronic Videon destroy Gemknight Prismaura.'' Rua said. ''So much for that monster.''
''I play my Face-Down, Gemknight's Shield. During this turn my Gemknight monster cannot be destroyed as a result of battle.'' Sly said. Prismaura's shield sharpened and it put it in front of him.
''You still take damage.'' Rua said as Videon attacked Prismaura.
Sly's and Ruka's LP: 6850
''Now Machina Gearframe attacks Prismaura.'' Rua commanded and Gearframe punched knight, but it survived.
Sly's and Ruka's LP: 5700
''Next because both of my monsters would be destroyed by the End Phase I use Gearframe's effect. Since it's a union monster I can equip it to my Videon.'' Rua explained and Gearframe jumped on Videon's back. ''I place one Face-Down card and end. Since Videon would be destroyed I can destroy Gearframe in its place.'' Gearframe disappeared from Videon's back.
Rua's Hand: 3
''Then it's my turn! Draw! I summon Fairy Archer in Attack Mode.'' Ruka said and a fairy with a bow appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Fairy Atk: 1400 Def: 600 Level 3
''Now Gemknight Prismaura destroy Morphtronic Videon.'' Ruka said and Gemknight threw his lance towards Videon.
''I activate Morphtronic Bind. As long as this card remains on field your level 4 or higher monsters cannot attack or change their Battle Positions.'' Rua said and Prismaura got captured by a net, preventing his attack.
''On my Main Phase 2 I activate Fairy Archer's effect. Now you take 400 damage for each Light Monster I control and with one you take 400 points of damage.'' Ruka said and Fairy Archer's arrow flashed yellow and it fired it towards Suzy.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 7600
''I place two cards Face-Down and end my turn.'' Ruka said.
Ruka's Hand: 3
''My turn! I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards. Then I discard Machina Sniper, Machina Defender, Machina Force and Machina Soldier to Special Summon Machina Cannon in Attack Mode.'' Suzy said and mechanical cannon appeared.
Attr: Earth Type: Machine Atk: 0 Def: 2200 Level: 8
''What's that thing? And why doesn't it have any Attack Points?'' Ruka asked confused.
''Machina Cannon can only be Special Summoned by sending at least 3 Machina monsters from my hand to grave and it gains 800 for each monster.'' Suzy said.
Atk: 3200
''Now Machina Cannon. Destroy Gemknight Prismaura!'' Machina Cannon fired a mechanical ball towards Gemknight.
''I play my trap, Waboku! Now you can't destroy our monster by battle or inflict Battle Damage this turn.'' Ruka said and protective barrier surrounded them.
''That's clever. I play Pot of Avarice. Now I return five monsters from my grave to my deck and then I draw two cards. So I return all Machina monsters in my grave back to deck.'' Suzy explained and drew more. ''I summon Machina Peacekeeper.'' Suzy said and small red robot appeared.
Attr: Earth Type: Machine/Union Atk: 500 Def: 400 Level: 2
''And I equip it to my Machina Cannon. Now if the equipped monster would be destroyed this card is destroyed instead.'' Suzy said and Peacekeeper jumped on top of Machina Cannon. ''That's all.'' Suzy's Hand: 1
''Draw. ''That peacekeeper is annoying. I can't use Prismaura's effect to destroy Machina Cannon, but there's something else I can do.''
''I play Gemknight Prismaura's effect. By discarding my Gemknight Crysta I can destroy one Face-Up card on the field. And I choose Morphtronic Bind.'' Sly said and his monster drew his lance and destroyed Rua's Trap Card.
''Oh no!'' Rua said shocked. He wasn't prepared for this.
''Now Gemknight Prismaura, destroy Morphtronic Videon.'' Sly said pointing at the said monster. Prismaura again threw its lance and destroyed Videon.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 6950
''Since it was equipped with Rusty Engine we both take damage equal to its original Attack Points.'' Rua said and explosion covered the field.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 5950
Sly's and Ruka's LP: 4600
''I use Fairy Archer's effect to inflict 400 points of damage.'' Sly said and Fairy Archer shot another arrow.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 5550
''I place a Face-Down.'' Sly said and end his turn.
Sly's Hand: 1
In the audience Bob and Tenpei were excited about the match, though Bob still had the dark feeling following him. Shado was also watching the match from a dark corner.
''Gem Boy, Machine Guy or Shining Girl (AN: Previously called Girl in Light) It doesn't matter who wins. Even Exodia can't stop us. And after this duel, it's time for Betrayal in Flames to be born.'' Shado thought smirking.
''My turn! I summon Morphtronic Boomboxen.'' Rua said and red Boomboxen appeared.
Attr: Earth Type: Machine Atk: 1200 Def: 400 Level: 4
''Then I equip it with Double Tool C&D. Now during my turn it gets 1000 Attack Points.'' Rua said as his Equip Spell appeared. ''Now Morphtronic Boomboxen destroy Fairy Archer.'' Rua commanded, but his attack was halted.
''I activate Negate Attack. Your attack is stopped and the Battle Phase ends.'' Ruka said simply. Boomboxen jumped back to Rua's side of the field.
''I place two Face-Down cards and end my turn.'' Rua said slightly sad.
Rua's Hand: 0
''My turn! I summon Sunlight Unicorn.'' Unicorn with blue flames appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Beast Atk: 1800 Def: 1000 Level: 4
''Then I use its effect. I reveal the top card of my deck and if it's Equip Spell it's added to my hand.'' Ruka said and looked. She frowned a little when she drew a Trap Card. She put it to the bottom of her deck.
''I attack with Gemknight Prismaura.'' Ruka ordered.
''I activate Sakuretsu Armor. Now your attacking monster is destroyed.'' Rua said smirking. They could finally get rid of that annoying Gemknight.
''I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit. By paying 1000 Life Points your Trap Card is negated and destroyed.'' Sly said smirking.
''What!'' Rua yelled surprised as Gemknight succeeded in his attack.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 5300
Sly's and Ruka's LP: 3600
''There's still Machina Cannon, so I won't attack anymore, but I can still use Fairy Archer's effect. Since there are two Light monsters on the field you take 800 points of damage.'' Ruka said and once again arrow was shot.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 4500
''Then I activate Swords of Revealing Light. Now you can't attack in 3 turns.'' Ruka said and three swords dropped from sky.
''I place a Face-Down and end my turn.'' Ruka said smiling. She was confident that they could win.
Ruka's Hand: 1
''My turn. First I use Machina Peacekeeper's effect to Special Summon it to the field in Attack Mode.'' Suzy said and red robot jumped from Machina Cannon. ''Then I use Heavy Storm to destroy all Spell and Trap cards on the field.'' Suzy said smirking. That Swords of Revealing Light had accomplished nothing.
''Before it's destroyed I activate Solar Ray. Now you take 600 points of damage for each Light monster I have. I still have 2 so you take 1200 points'' Ruka said.
Storm appeared to the field and destroyed Prohibition, Swords of Revealing Light and face-up Solar Ray. Before destruction Solar Ray flashed and fired a yellow beam towards Suzy.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 3300
''No biggie. Machina Cannon! Destroy Gemknight Prismaura.'' Cannon again fired a mechanical ball, but this time it hit.
Ruka's and Sly's LP: 2850
''Sorry Sly. That was my fault.'' Ruka said looking at him with apologetic eyes. Sly looked at her for a while and thought how adorably cute she looked. He nearly slapped himself when he thought that. ''Adorably cute? Since when have those two words been in my vocabulary? And why I'm thinking Ruka like this?'' Sly thought confused.
''Hey! Lovebirds we don't have all day.'' Suzy said. Sly hadn't noticed he had been staring at Ruka. That last comment made his face blush slightly. It had the same effect on Ruka. ''I place Face-Down and end my turn.'' Suzy said.
Suzy's Hand: 0
''My turn. I activate Gem Treasure. I remove Gemknight Crysta from my grave to draw two cards. Then I play Graceful Charity. Now I draw three and discard two. Next I remove from my grave Gemknight Emeral to return Gemknight Fusion to my hand.'' Sly said. Suzy looked little worried.
''Now that Prohibition is gone he can use Gemknight Fusion at will. Well no matter. My Face-Down will deal with it.'' Suzy thought smirking a little.
''I play Gemknight Fusion and I use it to fuse together Gemknight Rumarin and Gemknight Ganet to Fusion summon this card. Arrive Gemknight Maredin!'' Sly said and a new monster arrived. It was brown in color and it had a cape and flaming sword
Attr: Earth Type: Pyro Atk: 2200 Def: 1950 Level: 7
''Another new knight to destroy.'' Suzy said still smirking. Sly just ignored her.
''Gemknight Madeira destroy Machina Peacekeeper.'' Sly ordered. Madeira started to run towards the small robot with sword raised up.
''I activate my Magic Cylinder! Now your attack is negated and you take damage equal to that monster's Attack Points.'' Suzy said. Suddenly however Magic Cylinder disappeared without doing anything. ''What's going on?'' Suzy asked confused.
''When Madeira battles you can't use Traps, Spells or monster effects.'' Sly said and Madeira's attack succeeded and took a chunk out of Suzy's Lifepoints.
Suzy's and Rua's LP: 1600
''When Machina Peacekeeper is destroyed I can add one Union monster from my deck to my hand. I think I add another Machina Gearframe.'' Suzy said.
''Whatever. I use Fairy Archer's effect to inflict 800 points of damage.'' Sly said smirking as fairy shot two arrows.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 800
''I place a Face-Down. And end my turn.'' Sly said simply. Rua was sweating a little. They were close to losing.
''My turn! I play my Pot of Greed. Then I use Junk Box to Special summon back my Morphtronic Boomboxen. Then I summon my Morphtronic Scopen.'' Rua said and two monsters appeared.
Scopen: Attr: Light Type: Machine/Tuner Atk: 800 Def: 1400 Level: 3
''Now I tune it with my Morphtronic Boomboxen.'' Rua said and everyone knew what was going to happen. (AN: I'm too bored to write the summon chant) Power Tool Dragon appeared to the field.
Attr: Earth Type: Machine Akt: 2300 Def: 2500 Level: 7
''Then I use its effect. So I choose three Equip Spells from my deck and you randomly choose one of them.'' Rua said and Sly chose the Right One. '' Now I equip Power Tool Dragon with Butterfly Dagger - Elma. Thanks to it, Power Tool Dragon gains 300 Attack Points.'' Rua explained and Power Tool got new equipment.
Atk: 2600
''Now Power Tool Dragon destroy Fairy Archer.'' Rua commanded and Power Tool raised its arm and squashed the archer.
Ruka's and Sly's LP: 1650
''Then I place a Face-Down and end my turn.'' Rua explained. He was pretty sure they could win.
''My turn! I…'' Ruka started but was cut off.
''I activate my Trap Card. Power Break! I can only activate this card when I control Power Tool Dragon. Now I return from my grave to the deck Morphtronic Rusty Engine, Double Tool C&D and from the field Butterfly Dagger – Elma to my deck and you take 500 points of damage for each card I returned. With 3 you take… 1500 points of damage.'' Rua said and three cards returned to deck and Power Tool Dragon fired a beam towards Ruka.
Ruka's and Sly's LP: 150
''Final duel in the Tournament is reaching its climax. With 150 Lifepoints on other side and 800 on other which team will win.'' Judge said excited.
''Who do you think will win?'' Tenpei asked from Bob.
''Don't know. But the duel is about the end soon, that I'm sure of.'' Bob said and Tenpei nodded in agreement.
In the other part of the audience Patty was also watching. It pained her to see Rua with Suzy, but if Rua liked her, she couldn't do anything about it.
''I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards. Then I use Lightwave Tuning to turn my Sunlight Unicorn to a Tuner monster. Then I summon Spirit of the Breeze.'' Ruka said and green fairy with blue hair appeared.
Attr: Wind Type: Fairy Atk: 0 Def: 1800 Level: 3
''And now it's time to Synchro Summon. I tune Sunlight Unicorn with Spirit of the Breeze. The holy light of protection, shine now and become eternal life! Synchro summon! A regal birth, Ancient Fairy Dragon!'' Ruka said and her favorite dragon appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Dragon Atk: 2100 Def: 3000 Level: 7
''Impressive Ruka, but your monster is too weak to destroy any of ours.'' Suzy said smirking. Ruka however smiled.
''Then it's good thing that I have this Shield and Sword. Now all monsters Attack and Defense points are swapped.'' Ruka said.
Machina Cannon: Atk: 2200 Def: 3200
Power Tool Dragon: Atk: 2500 Def: 2300
Ancient Fairy Dragon: Atk: 3000 Def: 2100
Gemknight Madeira: Atk: 1950 Def: 2200
''Now my Ancient Fairy Dragon is strong enough to destroy Machina Cannon. Ancient Fairy Dragon, Attack with Eternal Sunshine!'' Ruka said and Ancient Fairy Dragon created ball of light that she shot towards Machina Cannon.
''I activate my Trap Card, Mirror Force so now all your Attack Position monsters are destroyed.'' Rua said smiling. They were going to win, that's until Sly activated a trap.
''I activate Trap Jammer. Now I can negate the effect of your trap and destroy it.'' Sly said and Mirror Force got destroyed. This meant that Ancient Fairy Dragon's attack succeeded.
Rua's and Suzy's LP: 0
''And that's it! The winners of Tag Duel Tournament are Shining Gems Sly and Ruka!'' Judge yelled. Crowd started to cheer loudly and people clapped.
''We did it Sly! We won!'' Ruka said and hugged him tightly. This caused Sly's face to flush in many colors of red. Once Ruka realized what she was doing and who she was hugging she let go blushing harder than Sly. ''Sorry'' She said not daring to look at him.
Rua was sad that he lost on the final round, but he was happy that he gave everything he got. He looked at the audience and saw Bob and Tenpei standing up and clapping. He continued to look at the audience and saw Patty staring at him. Once Patty saw he was staring back she broke her gaze and left the arena.
''So Gem Boy and Shining Girl won the duel.'' Shado thought smirking.
''Are you okay Rua?'' Suzy asked worried. He hasn't moved since the duel ended.
''I'm fine. Hey Ruka! Nice duel!'' Rua yelled to her. Ruka smiled back. Sly ignored him like always. Judge came to Sly and Ruka.
''Congratulations on winning the Tag Duel Tournament. Here they are, all five pieces of Exodia.'' Judge said holding up five cards. However Ruka shook her head.
''I don't need them. We won this tournament without them and I believe we can win in the future without them.'' Ruka said not accepting the price. Sly also shook his head not wanting the pieces. He and Ruka walked from the stadium leaving confused judge.
''Then what was the point of this tournament?'' Judge asked confused.
A little while later in the halls of Duel Academy.
''Congratulations on winning!'' Tenpei said smiling. Ruka thanked him, but then got serious.
''There's still this Prophecy, if you haven't forgotten. We should go to the library to check if we find something.'' Ruka suggested. Others nodded and started to walk towards library. Suddenly Bob smelled something delicious.
''I catch up with you guys later.'' Bob said and ran off to opposite direction. Others nodded and continued their way.
Shado was smirking from the dark corner. ''Never knew that Betrayal in Flames is this gullible.'' Shado thought as Bob was running towards his direction. Then he stopped on corner and smelled that there was something delicious there. Before he could do anything Shado took his arm and teleported out of there.
''Huh? Where am I?'' Bob said confused. He looked around and saw that he was standing on dark duel arena and it was surrounded by black. Suddenly Shado appeared to the opposite of him. ''Hey who are you?'' Bob asked. Shado smirked at him.
''I'm Shado and we're going to duel Betrayal in Flames.'' Shado said and materialized black Duel Disk out of nowhere. Purple flames surrounded the duo.
…
Me: Done! Whew. The tournament is finally over.
Rua: How dare you make me lose? And how dare you leave this chapter at that?
Me: Relax Rua. Here's the preview for the next chapter.
''I saw you… after the duel when you were crying.''
''Betrayal in Flames? What do you mean?''
''There's no time for feeble questions! I shall defeat you!
''This deck… It's impossible to defeat.''
''Why can't you two just admit you like each other?''
Next on Duel Academy 5D's Style. Be born, Betrayal in Flames!
''This book will surely uncover the truth…''
Me: For some reason I don't like this chapter.
Ruka: Why's that?
Me: I just don't. Anyway review if you liked, review if you didn't like. Review if you were neutral.
