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 34: One Shot Break
Here's a recap from the previous chapter of the duel:
(Turn 7: Akira = 2000, Kasumi = 4000) (SC = Akira = 6, Kasumi = 0)
On Akira's field:
Number of cards in the hand = 1
Steelswarm Moth (2400/0) (Equipped with Call of the Haunted)
And 2 Gift Fiend Tokens (ATK/DEF = 1500)
And no Trap Cards
On Kasumi's field:
Number of cards in the hand = 0
The Wicked Eraser (ATK/DEF = 3000)
Unknown Synchron (0/0) in defense mode
And no facedowns
Alright, Let's Break It Down!
Kasumi: Since I've used up all of my cards on my hand, I end my turn.
Akira: And with that, I just met my match… I better think of a way to get rid of this monster… but these tokens are gonna give me some trouble… great, I got nothing good in my disposal at this time and not to mentioned that my butt has been cornered for good.
(Turn 8: Akira = 2000, Kasumi = 3000) (SC: Akira = 7, Kasumi = 1)
Akira: Man, it has been a while since I've got such strong opponent, and that duelist even pushes me back to the wall with just one ammo in my gun! *smiles widely* NOW I'm excited to the max, baby!
Amber: - Just as long as you don't get over your head, Akira… you better make it count cause I can tell that the last one isn't going to be easy. -
Akira: You don't have to tell me twice, girly! Geez, you sounds like my mom!
Kira: - Man, whoever goes out on a date with you, it sure can be troublesome for that unlucky guy… -
Amber: - Huh? What's that supposed to mean? -
Just listening the confused girly on our conversation can be quite funny at times. I mean, come on, she's WAY too focused on the duel, she really needed to cut some slack and not to be too tense about this duel. Besides, this is just another large tournament… with the entrance of Team New World, this would be interesting. But I wonder why did those guys attack us in the first place? Hm…
Akira: Oh well, rather than thinking about the past, I better get my head to this situation. *draw* Well, this isn't a good card for me to use… I activate Speed World 2's effect! By removing 7 counters that I have in my disposal, I can draw one more card! *draw*
(Akira's Speed Counter = 7 to 0)
Akira: Damn, man… I thought this would be the card that will change things around to my side! Fine then, I sacrificed both of my tokens in order to summon out Gorz, The Emissary of Darkness! (2700/2500) and due to that, your monster's attack decreases by another 1000!
(Wicked Eraser's ATK/DEF = 3000 to 2000)
Kasumi:*look at him casually* I won't complain like my other partner does. Besides, you're going to regret attacking my monster though…
Akira: But it's worth the shot of taking the risk… whatever that is… now go! My Gorz will destroy your Wicked Eraser this instant!
As soon as Gorz takes out his large blade from his back, it rushes forward and gives her weakened dragon a vertical slash, taking it out in one motion. But as soon as her dragon is destroyed, something else happens and the girl in black cloak seems to be happy of doing so, despite I've reduced her LP. I just hope I didn't pulled any trap lines or such cause that's the last thing I wanted to do here…
(Kasumi's LP = 3000 to 2300)
Kasumi: * smirks* People can be quite a fool at times…
Akira: *confused* Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
Kasumi: This is what supposed to mean! If the Wicked Eraser has been destroyed via any means, all of the cards on the field will be destroyed immediately! *thrusts hand forward* Dimension Wipeout!
And with that declaration, I'm screwed for good. The soul of the Wicked Eraser appears right above us unleashed its roar one last time before it shatters out of the way, changes into a black hole, sucking everything that was on the field, leaving it as clear as day.
Akira: *surprised* Ah, DARN IT! My monsters! They wiped out that instant? Tch… I only have one card left in my hand and it isn't a good card at all… I have no other choice but to end my turn this way!
(Turn 9: Akira = 2000, Kasumi = 2300) (SC: Akira = 1, Kasumi = 2)
Kasumi: It seems like both of us are now in a pickle, aren't we?
Akira: Despite that I have the advantage in the beginning and you blew it up on our side of the field no thanks to your monster's effect? *shrugs* I guess you could say that…
Kasumi: Well then, I guess I should make a move for now. *draw* This should be good. I set this monster down and end my turn. You're up, mortal.
(Turn 10: Akira = 2000, Kasumi = 2300) (SC: Akira = 2, Kasumi = 3)
Akira: (Hm, my guess is… she tried to reload the number of cards into her hand, if my theory is right. Besides, she might needed some cards into her hands and so was I. Heh, maybe she haven't about this at all, huh? Such desperate girly this is… it seems like I've figure it out her move. Man, I just hope that I got a better duel than this…)
Kasumi: What's the matter, mortal? Thinking for a new path or something?
Akira: Not really. I guess I can conclude the duel in my next turn! *confident smile*
Amber: - Whatever it is you're trying to do, you better think before you act. It's not like the opponent is stupid or anything, leaving any loopholes around the track… -
Akira: Ah, don't worry about it, girly! I just figure it out! Here goes! *draw* Alright, I don't have any Steelswarm monsters in my hand for now, but I can summon out something else. Come forth, Mystic Tomato! (1400/1100).
With the portal opened up right behind me, a large red tomato bouncing out from it and flicks its tongue like a snake does it, just to intimidate its opponent. Nice try, tomato, but it's gonna take more than just your juicy looking fruit appearance… or is it a vegetable? I kinda forgot about it already…
Akira: Alright, cutey! Let's refill our cards in our hand, shall we? Now go, attack her facedown card with your Bloody Tackle, squashy!
The bouncing tomato bounces high up in the sky, heading its forehead towards the set card but to my surprise, it wasn't the card that I was hoping for, it was a strong defensive card known as Destiny Hero – Defender (100/2700) in her disposal! Oh crud… I didn't expected that one coming out of the blues.
(Akira's LP = 2000 to 700)
Kasumi: *laughs* What do you think it might be, something that will refill both of our cards? Think again, mortal! I'm not the kind of a duelist that will let their opponent knows what we're planning to do!
Amber: - *said with an annoyed tone* You knew what they're doing, huh? That sure was a surprise for me. -
Kira: - Yeah, not to mention just went straight for the trap… good job, kiddo. Now the girl next to me will take over from your duel if you screwed up again in the next duel. -
Akira: *groans* Okay, okay! I get it, I screwed up in this turn. It's not like she's gonna do anything bad to me, right?
Amber & Kira: - I wouldn't say that… -
Akira: Just as long as I'm saving up to the next round, I set a card facedown and end my turn. *gulp* I just hope that she doesn't do anything that will turn out the outcome of the duel…
(Turn 11: Akira = 700, Kasumi = 2300) (SC: Akira = 3, Kasumi = 4)
Kasumi: *chuckles* What's wrong, did you expected the unexpected already, mortal? And you think that you're save from this duel in this turn? I don't think so… *draw*
Akira: Please don't be a Speed Spell Card, please don't be a Speed Spell Card, oh please DON'T BE A SPEED SPELL CARD!
Kasumi: It seems like it isn't a Speed Spell Card, but it is supposed your end, so brace yourself, mortal! I summon out my Zombie Master from my hand! (1800/0).
Akira: Yosh! I still got a fighting chance! *smiles*
Kasumi: No, you don't have a fighting chance at all… this is going to be your end! By removing from play a card from a graveyard earlier, Skill Successor, I can upgrade my Zombie's attack by 800!
(Zombie's ATK = 1800 to 2600)
Akira: Darn… it looks like it's going to be the end of my line, huh?
Kasumi: Perish in the darkness! Now go, kill your monster and ends your duel this instant!
Her zombie began to rise up from the boney grave of his and stretches up, and I can hear some of the bones cracking up, just to arise from it. After that was done, it began to chant some mumbo-jumbo onto my monster before it unleashes out a black stream of smoke on it and my Tomato instantly explodes after that mist enters its body completely. Even though that I have been defeated in this turn, but that doesn't mean I'll leave the field to girly empty handed. Besides, it's all up to her now.
(Akira's LP = 700 to 0)
Akira: Before I return back to my pitstop of my team, I activate my Mystic Tomato's effect! When this card is destroyed in battle, I can summon out a Dark Monster with 1500 or lower ATK onto the field! And the monster that I choose… is Sangan! (1000/600)
Kasumi: Hah, that weakling won't stand up to my monster's attack at all! By setting my last facedown, I end my turn!
(Amber's Point of View)
MC: There you have it, folks! With the final blow dealt towards Akira from team Elements, it looks like the one that will take over his ride will be Amber and will she able to win this duel in this kind of condition? That's what we're going to find out later on!
Even though that Akira has lost in this duel with some of the mistakes that he made and also underestimating his opponents, I gotta have to give him credit for his skills and such, despite his attitude that wasn't suit well for the duel… whatever that means. As he made his way towards the pitstop and parked next to my D-Wheel, he passed on his Sangan and a set card to me, which to my surprise, it was the card that I was hoping that I can used up in the next turn.
Akira: Say, um… *scratches the back of my head*
Amber: *wears the helmet* Don't worry about it. I can take care of the rest and win this duel without having no choice but force Storm duels out. Besides, with this set card, I guess this could be useful in this kind of stuff. But next time… don't let your opponents go first.
Akira: What are you talking about? That was a great thing to do! Besides, that way, it will be my advantage about it to know what kind of deck that we were going to face.
Amber: *twitches* What are you saying…? *groans* You can be annoying at times… *speeds away*
Geez, this is not some competition that he can enjoy it at all! This is something that where life and death of the city is on the line and the fate of the future of the city is in our hands. If he didn't get his grip before it was too late, my only guess is that things will go hectic around him. I think that after we win this duel, I'm gonna have a discussion with Storm about his manners because that guy has no idea what he is involved this time…
(Turn 12: Amber = 4000, Kasumi = 2300) (SC: Amber = 4, Kasumi = 5)
MC: And this time, Amber has entered the track and began to make a chase over Kasumi from Team Eternal! How will the duel turns out in this match? Let's get it on!
Amber: It's my turn now! *draw* and during my Standby Phase, since that your Defender is on the field, I can get an additional card! *draw* First of all, I summon out Hyper Synchron onto the field! (1600/800). Level 3 Sangan, Level 4 Hyper Synchron tuning up! By the power of light, consumed by darkness, follow my command for my sake! I synchro summon Ancient Sacred Wyvern! (2100 to 3800/2000)
Kasumi: Hah, that's all you can do? Summoning out your Wyvern to face me off? Why is it that you always summons out that card in every single match?
Amber: You wanna know why I always called this card out? It's because this is a bond between me and my monster! Now I activate Sangan's effect! When this card is sent to the graveyard, I can add one card from my deck to my hand and the card that I add is Synchro Magnet, which its effect activates where if I control a Synchro monster on the field, I can special summon it out! (1000/600)
Kasumi: What's the point of doing it?
Amber: Oh, you'll see about it! Now, I play a Speed Spell Card – Summon Close! By removing 3 counters that I have in my disposal...
(Amber's SC = 4 to 1)
Amber: ...I can discard 1 card from my hand to the graveyard and draw an additional card.
As I discarded my card, Level Eater (600/0) to the graveyard and draws out a card, I can already tell that my plan is in motion. Also, she can't special summon out a monster in her next turn.
Amber: And now, my Level Eater's effect! By the cost of a level from my Ancient Sacred Wyvern, it can special summon itself out from the graveyard! Level 1 Level Eater, Level 3 Synchro Magnet tuning up! (3 + 1 = 4) Weapon of hope, decends from the sky! Cuts your way through and pierced through the light for the future! Synchro Summon! Come out, Armory Arm! (1800/1200)
Kasumi: Just how long is this turn is going to last? *gets annoyed*
Amber: Just a little bit more... now, I play a Speed Spell Card – Overboost! With this card, I can gain 6 more counters! Until the end phase, my speed counters will return to one.
(Amber's SC = 1 to 7)
Amber: I play my last Speed Spell Card – Light Adjustment! By removing 3 counters...
(Amber's SC = 7 to 4)
Amber: I now declared my Armory Arm as a Tuner Monster!
With that, a ring appears from the card and circulates around it, treating it as a tuner monster. This is something that will turn things around to our side!
Amber: Hey, you better watch this duel carefully cause it's gonna brightened up your day! Level 6, Synchro monster, Ancient Sacred Wyvern, Level 4 Synchro Tuner, Armory Arm, TUNING UP! (6 + 4 = 10)
Under my command, Armory Arm began to split into 4 rings and my Wyvern began to enters it while my D-Wheel began to change its colours and not to mention that my back was also began to engulf with flaming wings which it was already to materialized, leaving her in a shock as well.
Kasumi: *looks at her* W-W-what kind of sorcery are you using?
Amber: *ignores her comment* Let the flames of punishment destroy your foe, unleash the anger that is bestowed upon you! Accel Synchro!
With that, I hit my throttle to the max and began to speeds away in a speed of light. And within seconds after my disappearance, I reappeared behind her with my blazing coloured D-Wheel and of course my ace card that will turn things around.
Amber: Turn your enemies into light, Divine Phoenix Maka! (3600 to 4200/2700)
I can already tell that she was stunned to see me does this Accel Synchro summon out, other than Yusei. And not only that...
Akira: - WHOA! That's some monster you got there, girly! You sure got some stuff that I didn't knew you had one! -
Kira: - What can I say? This must be his first time of seeing one... -
Amber: *smiles* I'm glad you like it, Akira! Now, to make a finishing touch! I declare my monster attacks your Zombie Master! Burning Stream!
With that declaration, my phoenix charging up its flames on its mouth before unleashing it towards her monster, incinerate it to the end and gives her a huge amount of damage to the end. There's no way I'll destory a card from her side that will help me out in the process as she braced herself for impact.
(Kasumi's LP = 2300 to 0)
Amber: I set a card facedown and at my end phase, my Speed Counters will reverted back to 1.
(Amber's SC = 4 to 1)
Amber: And with that, I end my turn! Time for you to make a change with your partner!
(Normal Point of View)
MC: Oh my goodness! Amber's very first turn has managed to deplete the current rider of Team Eternal, Kasumi! Now it is all up to the last runner of the day, their team leader, Iruka to take over from there! Just how will this duel ends up? It's going to be a lot more than meets the eye! Can team Elements managed to defeat all three of the Wicked monsters?
Kasumi: I'm sorry that I didn't managed to inflict any damage on her...
Iruka: No, partner... *takes the emblem and patches it onto my shoulder* This should be good enough...
Kasumi: *hands her the set card and monster* It all comes down to you, mistress...
Iruka: *nod* This time, she will fall for despair once she faced with this last Wicked monster. Let the games... begin...
Elena: Good luck, mistress! *bows down slightly*
And with that, Iruka began to speed away from her team's pitstop and took a corner to reach at Amber's current location.
(Amber's Point of View)
After a little bit of cruising around the track while waiting for my last opponent to show up, I was wondering about how Storm was doing. I know that he's watching this duel from the infirmary and I can tell that he might be impressed with this kind of skills that I've showed. Remember, Storm, you're not the only one that has been practicing very hard. And with that thought out of the way, my last opponent has finally arrived. Time to revved it up to the max and no holds barred!
Amber: So, you're the last runner of the day, huh? I just hope that you can keep it up with me...
Iruka: *chuckles*
Amber: *raised eyebrow* Hey, what's with the creepy chuckle?
Iruka: Oh, it's nothing... it's just that even though your monster is quite strong, but that alone won't be enough for my Wicked monster.
Amber: Oh really? Care to elaborate that?
Iruka: Oh, you'll know soon enough... well then, ready?
Amber: You bet!
DUEL!
There you have it. It's all up to their last runner with full LP and the battle between Light and Darkness will begin. Can Amber does the impossible in her duel? Let's Break It Down to the next chapter!
