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 28: Reloading the Mistakes
Let's recap from the last chapter:
(Turn 9: Amber = 4000, Setsuna = 4000) (SC: Amber – 3, Setsuna – 8)
On Amber's Field:
Number of Cards on her hand: 4
Ancient Sacred Wyvern (4000/2000) (equipped with Power Frame)
And 2 facedowns
On Setsuna's Field:
Number of cards on her hand: 2
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (ATK/DEF 4000)
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (ATK/DEF 5000)
And no set cards
Alright, Let's Break It Down!
Setsuna: Now then… how are you going to handle this kind of situation, sweetie? *giggles* Don't you be surprised from what I just did earlier~
Great, for once, she managed to corner me with two Sacred Beasts, which one of them is higher than my Ancient Sacred Wyvern. I didn't expect that her Uria would get a boost from the earlier milling. I guess that's what they called teamwork, which our team was a little bit lacking since that we rely on each other's deck and haven't planned anything just yet. But will it work?
Kira: - Oi, what's with the hold up? -
Amber: *snaps out of it* I was just thinking for a bit. Geez, your timing to disturb me sure is uncalled for, Kira…
Kira: - *said in a bored tone* Sorry I ask… well, in any case, you better pay attention on her hands for the time being… -
Amber: Her hands? *looks at Setsuna as she waves at the crowds* What do you mean by that?
Kira: - You better figure it out on your own while you're at it. You said that you can overcome any obstacles, right? Well, time for you to prove it to me then… -
Amber: (I wonder what he meant by that…?) *looks at the front*
Setsuna: Sweetie, what's with the hold up? Aren't you going to end your turn or something?
Amber: I'm gonna continue on from where you were interrupting me just now. I play a Speed Spell – Angel Baton! By drawing out 2 cards from my deck, I sent away one from my hand.
As I pulled out 2 cards from my deck, I realized that there is somehow, I can put out both of her monsters at the same time. While doing so, I discarded Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) to the graveyard. Time to get this thing rolling!
Amber: Alright! Next up, I activate another Speed Spell – Silver Contrail! By removing 2 Speed Counters, I can add up one of my monster's attack by 1000!
(Amber's Speed Counters = 3 to 1)
With that card, 2 of the counters that I've used are being eaten by my Wyvern, making it stronger than ever until End Phase.
(Ancient Sacred Wyvern's ATK = 4000 to 5000)
Amber: Alright! Onto my battle phase! I declare my monster to attack your Hamon! That thing really has to go!
Setsuna: Well, I got no problem with it, sweetie.
Amber: Oh, really? What about I'll make them both disappear?
Setsuna: *raised my eyebrow* Oh? I wanna see that happening to me… *smiles confidently* Why don't you try to bring me down, then?
Amber: Okay! You're asked for it! I activate my facedown, Miracle Locus! With this card, my Ancient Sacred Wyvern obtains another 1000 ATK and then you may draw a card. As an added bonus, my monster can attack twice in this turn as well but it won't deal any damage to ya', so consider yourself lucky!
Setsuna: Oh? Interesting… *draws a card casually*
As she draws out the card, a stream of light appears onto my Wyvern and as it turns out, the Wyvern splits itself into 2 mirages of itself as both of them are roaring for an attack, all thanks to the additional boost.
(Ancient Sacred Wyvern's ATK = 5000 to 6000)
Amber: Ancient Sacred Wyvern, take out both of those Sacred Beasts! Double Light Stream!
And with that declaration, both of the monsters unleashes 2 streams of light towards my opponent and as both of her Sacred Beasts are trying to hold on to that attack, in the end, the attack pierces through her monsters but it didn't reached to Setsuna since that no damage is occurred when I activate this card. At least, I don't have to face both of them in this turn.
MC: Ladies and gentlemen! It seems like Amber has managed to outdo herself once again! Pulling out a miracle out of nowhere just to defeat the strong offensive lines that were set up by Team Ace! Even though this is just the first round, it's getting excited as every turn passed!
Amber: I'm not done just yet! Next, I activate my trap card, Call of the Haunted!
Setsuna: Eh~? You haven't finished your attack just yet? My, such sneaky girl you are~
Amber: Sneaky as I am, that doesn't mean that I don't have a surprise of my own! With this card, I can special summon one monster from my graveyard. And guess what? It's the card that I've discarded earlier, Red Eyes Black Dragon! (2400/2000) Now go, attack her directly with Black Stream!
As my Red Eyes Black Dragon charges up, it literally shoots out dark stream onto her D-Wheel, chipping away some of her LP. Much to her fan's shock, they began to go booing on me for what I just did to her. I know that she's famous and all, but that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna stop hitting her with everything I got!
(Setsuna's LP = 4000 to 1600)
Amber: I set 2 more cards facedown and during my end phase, my Wyvern returns back to its original attack value.
As the battle finishes, my Wyvern fused back as a whole and those extra lights began to dim back to the way it was.
(Ancient Sacred Wyvern's ATK = 6000 to 4000)
Amber: I end my turn!
*Normal Point of View*
*Team Ace's Pit*
Takuya: I bet she was surprised by the way how Uria's attack suddenly got an extra boost, right, Max-sama?
Max: Indeed. She let her guard down for one moment and then, she manages to defeat them in that very turn.
Takuya: For a girl, she sure got some spirit and thinks ahead. It was worth a challenge for me.
Max: Not exactly… she did an error while doing it.
Takuya: Eh? *confused and looked at Max* What do you mean by that?
As Takuya asked his brother, all Max does was just a smile on his face, leaving his little brother with a confused look as he shifted back his attention onto the arena.
*Team Element's Pit*
Kira: That girl… she did a mistake just now…
Storm: Really? *looks at Kira* What do you mean by that, Kira-san?
Kira: Uria… that card shouldn't be looked down. Sure, she might have defeated Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, but the other one is a special case…
Storm: Uria's a special case? *looks at the screen* What's so special about that monster?
Kira: Think about it… why did I tell Amber to watch out for Setsuna's hand in the first place?
Storm: Her hand, huh? *thinks a little* hmm… *realized and went to the microphone*
Kira: *stops him* Let her think on her own and make her realized her mistakes for now. That's one of the errors she forgot to put in…
Storm: B-but…
As Kira stared at Storm with serious eyes, he had no choice but to sit down quietly as Amber and Setsuna was passing through them, which Amber noticed something about Storm's expression changes a little bit. And with that, he wrote something down inside his black book and continued to watch the duel.
Kira: Heh, another information that might be useful for me… *chuckles*
*Amber's Point of View*
(Turn 10: Amber = 4000, Setsuna = 1600) (SC: Amber = 2, Setsuna = 9)
Setsuna: *giggles* Ara~ it seems you have managed to defeat Hamon… and it seems like you have caught my interest for that attempt just now.
Amber: *smirks* Don't forget about your Uria as well, Setsuna! That's the last time I'll be seeing those two! *points at her* You're going down!
Setsuna: Not exactly, my dear…
Amber: *confused* Huh?
Setsuna: Allow me to demonstrate it to you, sweetie. *draw* During my main phase, I can send one Continuous Trap Card into the graveyard in order to call back my Uria, Lord of Searing Flames from its slumber and guess what? It also got itself a little boost as well~
I can't believe it! As she sends one card from her hand to the graveyard, her monster digs itself out from the ground and began to spew flames at the sky to show how powerful it have become and to make things worse…
(Uria, Lord of Searing Flames' ATK / DEF = 0 to 6000)
Wait a minute… now that I think about what Kira just said to me just now and the moves that I made earlier… now I understand what he tried to say!
Amber: *realized* Oops…
Setsuna: Oops is right, sweetie. Thanks for the extra card just now~ and now I activate Speed Wo—
Max: - Setsuna, don't used up those Counters just yet. –
Setsuna: *surprised* Ara~ what makes you say that, Max-sama~?
Max: - Let's just say that I have a plan of my own. For now, defeat her with pure strength, got it? –
Setsuna: *sigh* Hai, hai~ As you command, Max-sama… *shift my attention to Amber* Oh well, I was hoping to finish you up in this turn, but since that Max-sama has other plans for that, I might as well just use brute force. Okay! First of all, I activate Uria's effect! Once per turn, I can destroy one of your set cards and I pick~~ the middle one!
As soon as Uria shoots out a flaming fireball, it connected and burns out my Mirror Force out of its way. Geez, I was hoping she wouldn't choose that…
Setsuna: Oh wow! I seem to hit the jackpot just now! Alright, my Uria shall attack your Red Eyes Black Dragon and takes out most of your LP this instant! It's showtime, Uria! Show this little lady what you can really do~
As soon as Uria charges up and spews out its flaming fireball, it began to make my Red Eyes Black Dragon to disappear as the flames are literally engulfs it until there isn't a single trace of it. Because of that, I can feel like I'm the one who's been hurting since she just attacked a friend of mine…
Amber: *took cover* Ghh!
(Amber's LP = 4000 to 600)
Setsuna: On Main Phase 2, I should set a monster and a facedown and end my turn~! Okay, you're up, sugar!
(Turn 11: Amber = 600, Setsuna = 1600) (SC: Amber = 3, Setsuna = 10)
Ugh, that attack sure left an impact on me just now… all I can rely on is the set trap card that she didn't destroy in the last turn. With this card, I can't go anywhere with it, unless this very draw should turn things around to my way… all I can do is just believe in it…
Amber: Time to make way! *draw and look at the card* I guess this should be good enough to use it.
Setsuna: Oh? Do you how to turn things around to your way, sweetie?
Amber: Could you stop calling me that? I'm gonna take you down for good! I activate my trap card, DNA Surgery! With this card, I can declare one type of monster and all face up monsters will become that monster I've chosen. And I declare… Dragons!
Setsuna: Oh my, what are you going to do with it, sweetie? There isn't much you can do about it in this kind of situation…
Amber: I still got some tricks up on my sleeve, y'know? Here's the card that I can use in this kind of situation, Speed Spell – Miracle Synchro Fusion! By removing 2 of my Speed Counters, I can fuse my Ancient Sacred Wyvern from my field and Chaos End Soldier by removing those two from play… in order to Fusion Summon… Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste! (3200/3000)
As the two monsters that I've declared just now enter through a Synchro Ring above me and my Power Frame shatters right after that, the stars didn't line up but instead clumps together in order to create my knight in shining armor. I just hope that this would be enough for me to take down that monster.
Setsuna: Is that all the firepower you needed? That isn't going to be enough, sweetie.
Amber: Who said that I've done my work? And I wasn't aiming for your Uria… my monster attack your set monster!
And with that, it wastes no time taking its spear and pierced through that set card, which it turns out to be Morphing Jar (700/600). I already know what's at stake but I'm willing to give it everything I got, even if I lose, Storm can take over from where I'm standing at this time!
Setsuna: According to my monster's effect, when this card is flipped, both of us must discarded both of our hands and draw 5 new ones
And with that, she discarded the remaining 2 cards in her hand while I got none and both of us draw 5 new ones. If I can't attack it, I might as well set up the traps. And since one of her cards consist of a Continuous Trap Card, Uria's ATK increases further more.
(Uria's ATK/DEF = 6000 to 7000)
Amber: Main phase 2, I set a monster and set the remaining 4 cards facedown and end my turn!
(Turn 12: Amber = 600, Setsuna = 1600) (SC: Amber = 4, Setsuna = 11)
Setsuna: Ara-ra~? What's this? Using up all of the cards despite that you're going to lose? My, such brave thing you just do.
Amber: I already know that I can't beat you, I might as well passed my torch to my partner to do the rest of the work for me.
Setsuna: Oh, I'll be ready for that! Uria's effect activates! I'm gonna destroy one of your set Spell/Trap cards… and it is~ the left end!
Amber: *smirks* Thanks… I knew you would choose that one because the card that you've just destroyed is Security Orb! If this card gets destroyed via card effect, I can nuke out one of your monsters and that is… your Uria!
Setsuna: I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you destroyed it. I activate my trap card, Trap Jammer! By discarding a card from my hand, I can negate your trap card activation and will you look at that? I've just discarded another Continuous Trap Card to the graveyard~
(Uria's ATK/DEF = 7000 to 8000)
Amber: Tch… I was expecting to get rid of it…
Setsuna: Nice try, honey. Now it's time for the finale! My Uria is going to finish you off!
As it charges up for a final blast, I wanted to use one of my trap card that I've set up, but knowing that that would be useless since my only trap card can only called forth a monster in attack mode, I just let that attack hit my knight with everything it got. I guess I'll leave the rest up to him.
(Amber's LP = 1600 to 0)
MC: Will you look at that? Amber has taken the hit from Uria without activating any of her set cards! Just what she just planning for now?
Setsuna: *waves my hand happily* Goodbye, sweetie~ before I end my turn, I set 2 cards facedown.
*Storm's Point of View*
As soon as she came towards our pit stop, she parked right next to my White Fang while looking down. I can tell that she was a little bit upset about what she did just now.
Kira: I told you not to lose while you're out there… geez, you sure can be stubborn at times, huh, Amber?
Storm: C'mon already, Kira-san. She's done what she could and I couldn't ask for more. Besides, I can take over from here.
She didn't say anything much other than giving all of the monsters from the graveyard and the one that just banished as I slotted it in its place. As for her set cards, I was a little bit surprised on what she just set it for me. With that, I had my smile on my face, knowing that I can use this to finish it where she started. Before I revved up to go to the arena, Amber called up to me and it looks like she has something for me to use.
Amber: Hey, Storm… one more thing… *handed him a Synchro Card*
Storm: Eh? *takes it* Should I use it?
Amber: Of course. I know this card would be handy for you later on. Believe me, she wouldn't see it coming at all. *smiles and patches the team emblem on his shoulder*
Storm: *take a look at it and stored it at the Extra Deck* Gotcha. Time to head out!
Kira: One more thing… Storm.
Storm: Yeah?
Kira: I think this time… 'it' will listen to your call.
Storm: *nod* Okay, I'll see what I can do.
As soon as I speed away, I managed to catch up with Setsuna while she already makes a complete turn. Because of that, she gains an additional Speed Counter. Let's not waste any more turns and start turning the tides to us.
MC: And now, taking the lead for the team, it is Storm Ryder from Team Elements as he will try to covered up the loss of his partner and- *someone whispering at my ears* -Oh! Everybody listen! I just heard from one of the crew, which they stated that Storm will be the last runner of the day and Kira Thantos isn't going to participate for this duel for an unknown reason! This is a shocking news!
(Turn 13: Storm = 4000, Setsuna = 1600) (SC: Storm = 5, Setsuna = 12)
Yeah, shocking indeed… as some of the crowds are whispering at each other, thinking that we were actually afraid of these guys, I can tell what's gonna happen next. Maybe the crowds are going to taunt at our team which they say that we are weak or something like that, but after what I heard from Kira-san told me, I guess I should believe in my own powers for making it to the next round.
Setsuna: Hello there, cutey! Ready for a beatdown? I hope that you can keep up with me.
Storm: Well, I'll try to follow along… here goes something! *draw*
Setsuna: Oh, after you draw, I activate a trap card, Royal Decree! With this card, no trap cards can be activated in this turn, including mine~ it looks like I've cornered you already.
Storm: *smiles* Well, it could be true…
Setsuna: Eh~? *confused*
Storm: I got my own tricks up on my sleeves. Alright, Setsuna… *gets my game face on* Let's Break It Down!
There we go, it seems like Storm has something up on his sleeve. With the help from Amber's set monster cards and the remaining 3 facedown cards, will it be enough for him to overcome the odds? Let's Break It Down to the next chapter!
