Chapter 29: Wyrms and Dragons
"I wonder where our announcer disappeared to," Mitsuo wondered, "He hasn't been around lately in the recent chapters." Out of nowhere, the announcer appeared with the mic in his hand. "Such bravery!" he shouted. "Yura Minako has just called out Hikaru and Kuro! Will they give her what she wants?!" "Oh. There you are," Mitsuo said.
"I set 3 cards and end my turn," Kuro said, clearing his throat. "Finally it's my turn again, I draw!" Yura said. "I summon hEARTH Jacker (Lv.2/100atk/100def). When hEARTH Jacker is normal summoned, I can add 1 "hEARTH" spell or trap card from my deck to my hand. I'm adding the spell card hEARTH Revision to my hand. Next I activate hEARTH Revision. By tributing a level 4 or lower "hEARTH" monster, I can special summon a "hEARTH" monster from my graveyard. I tribute my hEARTH Jacker and special summon hEARTH Cavalier (Lv.3/1500atk). Once a turn, when hEARTH Cavalier is special summoned, I can send one monster from my deck to the graveyard to make Cavalier's name the same name as the monster sent. From my deck, I'm sending hEARTH Moon Magician."
In Yura's room, in her closet, the same kind of glow Aru emits appeared and faded away slowly. "While I control hEARTH Moon Magician," Yura said, "I can special summon hEARTH Sun Magician (Lv.3). I overlay my level 3 hEARTH Moon Magician and hEARTH Sun Magician. I build the overlay network and Xyz summon Magician of black stars (Rnk.3/2200atk). Yura's Extra deck glowed like it did before when she first had used hEARTH Warrior of the Past. Examining her Extra deck Yura discovers a new card. A new Xyz monster! "I..," Yura started, "rebuild the overlay network with Magician of black stars."
"She's what?" Kira questioned herself. "Wanting to redeem himself from the depths of the dark," Yura said, "he sought hope and became a new light. Xyz Summon! Come, Rank 4, Astral magician of white stars (Lv.4/LIGHT/2500atk/2000def)!" "She summoned a Rank 4 Xyz monster by using a Rank 3 Xyz monster," Kira said to herself, "But why didn't she use that during our duel? Unless… She had just gotten that from her other familiar. She's getting more and more powerful even when I've captured one of her familiars. However…" She pulls out the card that was created by Inaho. "I have yet to try out the monster that this familiar created for me. I'm almost itching to use it against her."
"You never told me about that monster before," Shizuka said, surprised. "I'll tell you about it later," Yura replied. "I activate Astral magician of white stars' effect. When Xyz summoned, it reduces the ATK of one of my opponent's monster by 500 for each overlay unit it currently has. I choose your Killa, Mythic Quasar of Promises to lose 1500 ATK points. Now I've shrunk it to 4250." "It doesn't matter because Killa still has more ATK than your monster," Hikaru said. "Is that so?" Yura questioned, "Then I'll activate Astral magician's other effect. By using one overlay unit and sending a monster from my hand to the graveyard, I can reduce the ATK of a monster on your side of the field by the ATK of the monster sent. I'm sending hEARTH Vassal (Lv.5) that has an attack of 2000. Now your monster's ATK drops even more to 2250."
"What an amazing series of moves!" the announcer yelled. "Yura has managed to knock down Killa's ATK from 5750 down to 2250 which is enouch for her Astral magician to destroy it!" Hikaru clenched his teeth in frustration. "Go Astral magician of white stars," Yura said, "Attack his Killa, Mythic Quasar of Promises!" Astral magician's attack causes an eruption of smoke.
Time until the Stone Dragons arrive at Grand Dueling School: 5 Minutes.
