Song: Ride on Right Time by Watanabe Shu
(Note: Storm does the normal singing, while Akira will do the rapping, just for fun... ^^")
(Instrumental) The scene begins as there are 4 D-Wheels on a starting line as while the lights on the track was counting down, a few frames appears such as a hand throttles on, a foot on a pedal, then a duelist's vizor shines and smoke appears from the fast spinning tyres as they began to speed away after the light turns green.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) The title appears from the smokes.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) 4 duelists, Amber in the lead, Storm at the second, followed by Kira and Akira passed through the title as they summoned out their monsters.
(jouhou kiri ga naku Update utsushidasu Display) The scene shifts to Amber,fixing her ride as she wipes off her forehead with the back of her hand and looks outside, which it seems to be sunset.
(kangaeru koto wasure Never ends, Games that never ends) Kira was leaning against the wall at the alley and biting his sandwiches as he looks to the side, full of people walking by.
(sono maki nukedasou Stand up, Get out) Akira was riding his D-Wheel while racing towards the sunset with a big smile on his face as he shifts his D-Wheel and rides it in reverse.
(Listen up kokoro no koe Oh yeah) Storm was at the bridge while sitting on his ride, looking at the sea and grasp the necklace tightly.
(narihibiiteru siren That says kizukazu doko made No way) Yusei and Bruno are inside the garage, trying to upgrade their engine and testing it.
(modorenai on the freeway You go… don't know why you go) Jack and Crow are on the streets, speeds away as Carly waves her hand happily in her car, making Jack speeds up faster and leaving Crow with a sweatdrop.
(mou tome ni dekiru nara… Back in your life) Aki and the twins are helping out Martha at the orphanege as the kids are playing with Trudge and Mina.
(Hear my voice kikoeru nara Right now) The Signers' Marks glows brightly, warned them about a threat is appearing soon.
(honmono no tsuyosa to wa jibun no tame ni dake ja naku) The scene then shifts at the stadium where the camera zooms in at the opponents of Team Elements, which is Team Ace with their Sacred Beasts and the other two teams with their ace monsters.
(dare ni de mo sashidaseru sono te~ (Don't stop, You don't stop…)] Team Elements and Team 5Ds was ready to go for a duel as Storm closes his eyes and the illusion of Kizuna appears at his back with a smile.
[yobisamase~ Yeah! (Always to be brave, brave misete mina The power you have, Just fight…Fight it out)] The Ark Cradle appears above the Combat Lane with the Yliasters and Z-One looking down with their respective monsters and Team Elements, Team 5Ds and Kira rides on their ride and speeds away towards the Ark Cradle.
[Ride on! Right time, Ride on! Right time (hashiri makure Like a Cheetah)] Team 5Ds summons out their ace Synchro Monsters.
[hikari hanachi nagara (unmei notte Acting tough Ooh-huh…)] Amber and Storm summons out their Synchro Monsters while Kira and Akira calls out their ace XYZ monster.
[negau nara miushinau na zatsuon wa shout out shite (tsuyoku nare Like a Lion)] All of their monsters collide as Yusei, Jack, Amber and Storm passed through the Yliaster's defense as the rest of them are catching up.
[Ride on! Right time, Ride on! Right time (nerai makure Like a Tiger)] Stardust Dragon, Red Demons Dragon and Ancient Sacred Wyvern changes to Shooting Quaser Dragon, Red Nova Dragon and Divine Phoenix Maka.
[shinjitsu, kazu ja naku (todoke sora e Shouting loud Ooh-Huh…)] Storm's 4 XYZ glows radiantly as he takes 3 of them out first and dashes forward.
[yume wa hora bureta totan yokubou ni naru (You watch out!)] The rest of Signer's Dragons are entering a black portal as Storm with marks on his face summons out his XYZ trump card and make way towards Z-One's Ultimate Time Lord at the sky.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) The scene changes back to the Neo Domino City in peace once again as the sun rises up without the Ark Cradle.
(RaToraTah! RaToraTah! Rata, Rata, RaTora~Tah!) All of the 5Ds characters and Team Elements watching the sunrise as Kira walk towards a portal that leads him back to his time and the music ends.
Chapter 27: Defense for Offense
Let's recap on what happened on the field from the last chapter:
(Turn 4: Amber = 4000, Takuya = 3400) (SC = 3)
Amber's Field Side:
Number of cards on hand: 3
Ancient Sacred Wyvern (2700/2000)
And 2 face downs
Takuya's Field Side:
Number of cards on hand: 1
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (ATK/DEF 4000)
Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings (1900/2600)
Crystal Beasts Amethyst Cat (1200/400) (On Spell/Trap Zone)
And no set cards.
Okay, Let's Break It Down!
Now, this is what I'm talking about! A challenge for me to take down one of the strongest monsters and to make it better, it's one of the long lost Sacred Beasts! I dunno about how Storm feels about this, but I'm gonna enjoy this since this is one of the rare moments!
Takuya: *laughs madly* How do you like me now? Are you feeling scared, missy?
Amber: Are you kidding me? This is what I was hoping for!
Takuya: *confused* Eh? What in the world are you talking about? You're supposed to beg for mercy at this time!
Amber: Not on your lifetime, Takuya!
Takuya: Grr! You're crazy, you know that? *frustrated* That's it! Now, my Hamon will attack your Ancient Sacred Wyvern!
As soon as it began to charge up its attack, I think it's time for me to make it an even battle, or better yet, stopped it on its tracks.
Amber: While you're at it, I activate my trap card, Power Frame! With this card, I can match its attack with the monster that you've declared just now and it also negates your attack!
Takuya: *surprised* What's that?
Yeah, he didn't see this one coming at all as a frame of a cube began to take an image of Hamon inside the empty cube and it enters my Ancient Sacred Wyvern in order to give an extra boost on my monster's attack. And not only that, it seems that the cube has scared his monster for a bit as it took a step back from self destruction. That should keep his monster in bay… for now.
(Ancient Sacred Wyvern's ATK = 2700 to 4000)
Takuya: Gr… I can't attack you with my dragon… I set my last card face down and end my turn!
(Turn 5: Amber = 4000, Takuya = 3400) (SC = 4)
MC: Will you look at that folks? It seems like Team Ace has one of the legendary cards, next to the Egyptian God Cards, the Sacred Beasts and it seems like Amber of Team Elements has managed to stop his offensive move for a moment there! What shall ever they must do to overcome this kind of situation?
As the announcer explains it, I can hear some of the crowds were cheering for Team Ace because of they haven't seen this kind of monster for a long time. No wonder how they got their name from…
Crowd #1: C'mon, Team Ace, beat those guys to pieces! I want to see you guys to the next round!
Crowd #2: It's a rare view to see those cards after all these years! Win this round so that we could see them again!
And thanks to that, they have cheering for them, which makes Takuya smirks as he raised his fist into the sky as a sign of confirmation.
Takuya: Don't worry, you guys! We'll make sure that we break the obstacle in front of us in no time at all!
Storm: - Say, Amber, I think the crowds are against us… ^^" –
Amber: Oh, come on, Storm. You're worried too much. *smiles* Don't let the crowds get into ya'! That's what they're trying to do here and I'm not that weak to fell for it. I'll shut their traps so that they won't cheer on for them again.
Storm: - Alright then, I'm counting on you, then. –
Kira: - Don't end up getting yourself lost in the middle of the duel… -
Amber: *smirks* Heh, that won't happen to me! Here goes nothing! *draw* I'm not gonna waste any more time! I activate Speed World 2's effect!
(Speed Counters = 4 to 0)
Amber: Since I have 2 Speed Spells on my hand, I can give you 800 damage for each Speed Spell that I have!
With that, a spark of lightning coming out from my D-Wheel bypass his monsters with no problem at all and hits his D-Wheel to reduce more of his LP. If I can't touch him, at least the burn effect should do the trick.
Takuya: *braces for impact* Grr… you'll pay for this!
(Takuya's LP = 3400 to 1800)
Amber: How do you like me now? I bet you don't like the way I did it to you, huh?
Takuya: If that's the only thing that you can do, heh, you're nothing more than a weakling to me!
Amber: A weakling? Tell that to the one whose attack just got stopped a moment ago… *giggles*
Takuya: Tch… well then, aren't you going to move it or what?
Amber: Right now, I declare my Ancient Sacred Wyvern to attack your Tragic Dragon! Light stream!
Takuya: I'm not gonna let that happen! I activate my own trap card, No Entry! With this card, all of the monsters on the field will switch into Defense Mode! I told you I'll get you back for what you did to me!
Yeah, right. As his dragon and Hamon covers their body with their wings, my Ancient Sacred Wyvern coils around her body and all three monsters turns blue to indicate they are in defense position.
Amber: There's nothing much I can do for now except setting down a facedown. I better save some cards on my hand for later on… okay, you're up!
(Turn 6: Amber = 4000, Takuya = 1800) (SC: Amber – 1, Takuya – 5)
Takuya: (Wow, she didn't hesitate to hit one of my monsters with the lowest ATK for one bit. Now this is getting more interesting. The only question is… what is those 2 set cards did she put over there?) I'll take the lead now! *draw* Good, a Speed Spell Card. Now it's my turn to hit you good.
Amber: *smirks* Bring it to me!
Takuya: With pleasure! First things first, I switched back both of my monsters into Attack Mode!
With that, both of his monsters flap out its wings and gave out a loud roar to me as he's going to use his Speed Spell card on his hand.
Takuya: Okay, now I activate my Speed Spell – Star Force! By removing 2 counters that I have, I can remove from play one face up monster on the field and for every level of it, my Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings gains 200 ATK for each of them until the End Phase! And the one that I was going to remove is… Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat!
With a confused look on his cat, it suddenly burst itself up and 3 stars from the cat were engulfed by Tragic Queen, boosting its ATK points high.
(Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings' ATK = 1900 to 2500)
Takuya: Now for the battle phase! First of all, I declare my Hamon to attack your Wyvern! And with its effect, if this card manages to destroy your monster, you receive an additional 1000 damage!
As Hamon collecting its spark from the sky to its mouth, it unleashes a shocking stream of electric ball towards my monster but then, a sort of monster launches itself towards the spark for taking the damage for the team, leaving him surprised.
Takuya: W-What was that? Why your monster didn't get destroyed by my monster's attack? And what in the world was that monster that took the damage for her?
Amber: Because of my facedown, Totem Pole! With this card, I can negate one of your attacks and after it has been used up for 3 times, only then, this card will be destroyed!
Takuya: Argh, that's it! My Dragon Queen shall make your monster disappear!
Amber: That's strike two for you! By releasing another Totem token, it negates your attack once again!
As my totem shoots out from its place, it smacks right onto the Queen's face, literally breaks her concentration of charging for another attack. Even though I still got one more, but I guess I should reserve it for later on. If I can, I wanted to reduce the possibility of Storm facing more opponents with much higher LP than he could handle. He can't really rely onto his Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En alone. That's why I wanted to go first. I just hope that once I'm out, at least he can figure it out on his own and trying to handle those kinds of cards.
Takuya: Great… I got no cards in my hands, so I should end my turn on the way it is for now…
*Normal Point of View*
*in Team Ace's pit*
Max: *ponders for a bit* Well, this is interesting.
Setsuna: What was interesting about, Max?
Max: It looks like she's kept defending herself for taking any damage. I mean, she doesn't have to do that, right?
Setsuna: True… there's those two cuties over there that will take over for her if she ended up being defeated by any one of us. I guess their strategy was sending one of their best first onto the field.
Max: Is that so? *look on the track* I guess she has to take all of the burden of the team, huh?
Pit crew: That's not what I heard, you two.
Setsuna: Ara~ were we wrong about what we said just now?
Pit crew: I guess you guys didn't know about this situation… one of Team Element's member, the silver hair one, isn't going to participate in the duel. He was only there to become one of their temporary member of that team for making the cut.
Max: Is that so? I guess that's make our work even better.
Setsuna: Ah mou~ I was hoping I could duel that hottie over there while I'm at it…
Max: Setsuna, I guess you should get ready for take over after him.
Setsuna: Alright~
*in Team Element's pit*
Storm: Man, she's handling good on her own so far.
Kira: I can tell. Maybe because of the deal we make, she really is desperate for win this tournament.
Storm: It's not like we don't have any choice. It's now or never…
Kira: *took a glance on Ace's pit and look back forward* I spy… someone blowing a kiss on us…
Storm: *confused* Huh? Where? *look around*
Kira: *sigh* Just ignore what I said just now and let's focus on the duel right in front of us for now… it should reach its conclusion soon enough…
As Kira said so, two D-Wheel speeds right in front of them as they can hear some of the crowds are booing at them because Amber keep giving Takuya an indirect damage.
Crowd #1: Come on already! Stop doing those kinds of weak attack! We wanted to see some action!
Kira: Geez, these crowds really need to hold their seats… the real duel are about to began sooner than they think…
Storm: *confused* Huh?
*Amber's Point of View*
(Turn 7: Amber = 4000, Takuya = 1800) (SC: Amber – 2, Takuya – 6)
Takuya: *laughs out loud* Well, can you listen to the crowds? It seems like your team has make them bored.
Amber: Well, I don't care much on what they think. One thing I do know is that we're the ones will advance to the next round! My turn! *draw* (I better get myself some good supply of cards…). I activate my trap card, Jar of Greed! With this, I can draw 1 card from my deck! *draws another card*
Takuya: That one was a fake? I thought it's something that will destroy my monster or something!
Amber: I wasn't planning on doing so. Then, I switch back my Wyvern into Attack Mode.
As my monster uncoils itself and flew up to the sky, it roars back at them, which doesn't make his monsters flinches one bit at all. Time to end his turn and get onto the next one.
Amber: Next up, I play a Speed Spell – Overboost! With this card, I gain an additional 6 Speed Counters in this turn. At the end phase, it turns my Speed Counters into 1.
(Amber's Speed Counters = 2 to 8)
Amber: Speed World 2's effect activates! By removing 7 counters, I can draw one more card! *draw*
(Amber's Speed Counters = 8 to 1)
Amber: Now, I can declare my monster to attack your Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings! Since you don't have any Continuous Spell Cards or… monsters to keep you monster alive, I guess that's the end of your line! Go for it, Light Stream!
As both my Wyvern and his Dragon Queen charges up for an attack, both of the attacks are collided right in the middle of it and since my monster is more superior than his monster, the attack pushes back to him and destroyed in the process, making his LP to zero.
Takuya: Wah!
(Takuya's LP = 1800 to 0)
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, it seems like Amber has defeated one of the duelist from Team Ace, which scores their first win. According to the WRGP rules, the match will continues on until all of the team members of either team are in a complete lost!
Storm: - Alright, way the go, Amber! –
Amber: I haven't finish just yet. I set 2 cards facedown and end my turn!
As I make a turn, I can see Storm waves happily at me and Kira… well, he's just sits there and read his black book while writing something. All I can give it to them for now is a thumbs up before continue racing around as Takuya returns back to the pit as Setsuna will took over from where he was lost, even his Hamon as well. This is gonna be good but one thing I want to know… what kind of Sacred Beast she holds? That's what I wanna know… and before I knew it, she was easily catches up with me in no time at all.
(Turn 8: Amber = 4000, Setsuna = 4000) (SC: Amber – 2, Setsuna – 7)
Setsuna: Congratulations on beating one of my team, little sweetie.
Amber: *kept quiet*
Setsuna: Ara~? Aren't you a quiet one? Is it because that you were mesmerized by my beauty and curves?
Amber: *confused look* What in the world are you talking about? I don't have time for those kinds of nonsense while I'm in the middle of the duel.
Setsuna: *smiles happily* I see… it seems like you're more determined than ever. Tell me, sweetie. Why is it that we're called Team Ace?
Amber: I don't have time for your questions! Just get on with the duel already!
Setsuna: Ah mou~ I was just about to get to the good part. Oh well… here goes something… *draw*
As we make a turn, I can see some of the men right at the front row waving some sort of banner that says, "Setsuna for the win!" and even there is also 7 men without their shirts on and spelled out her name on it cheering for her. All she did was waving her cowgirl hat and shouted something to them.
Setsuna: Don't worry, boys! I'll be sure that I'll take her down! *winks and blows a kiss towards them*
And just like that, those guys and the rest of men went head over heels for her as we make another turn.
Amber: Let me guess… you guys are popular outside of this city?
Setsuna: That's right, we are all famous people with different occupations before we joined this tournament. If you really wanted to know much, I was only a model for such famous magazines before joining in this tournament. The other two are actually brothers and a great Tag Team outside of this city, y'know?
Amber: And the reason I'm hearin' this… why?
Setsuna: I just wanted to duel, that's all that matters. And now, without further ado, I set 3 cards facedown and then declared my Hamon to attack your sacred Wyvern.
Amber: Not gonna happen! Since I have one more Totem token, it can negate your monster's attack!
As the last one shoots out towards Hamon's face, my Totem Pole immediately destroyed since it has no more Totem Tokens to sacrifice itself. It's a good thing that I got myself a nifty card in times like this.
Setsuna: It seems like I've managed to destroy one of the obstacles on the field. With that, I end my turn.
(Turn 9: Amber = 4000, Setsuna = 4000) (SC: Amber – 3, Setsuna – 8)
Amber: Alright then… my turn! *draw*
Setsuna: Okay! Time for my big showcase! I activate all three of my continuous trap cards, Tiki Soul and then I can sacrifice it all just to Special Summon my Uria, Lord of the Searing Flames!
And with that declaration, a very long dragon appears out from the sky and landed next to Hamon as it roars out in anger, ready to take down anything on its path. And not only that, it seems like the crowds are cheering up for her for this amazing view she did it just now. It must be one of those things that they called fan service…
(Uria's ATK/DEF = 0 to 5000)
Amber: *surprised* Wait a minute… isn't your monster supposed to be like… 3000 ATK & DEF? Where did the other 2000 came from?
Setsuna: Ara~ don't you know? Remember the Needlebug Nest that Takuya-chan activates earlier? You see, his monsters aren't the only ones that was being drained down…
Amber: (So, that's why he had that look on his face earlier…)
Setsuna: Now, then… what are you going to do now, sweetie?
Now that there are 2 of them on the field, one thing I can say is that things can get out of hand in a matter of time… I just hope I manage to destroy at least one of them before my turn is up…
Well, there you have it, folks. It seems like 2 out of 3 Sacred Beasts have finally appears out of their hidings and making Amber faces them off in a tight spot. How is she going to handle this kind of situation? Let's Break It Down to the next chapter!
