Chapter 37: Ayu's Entertainment Aquarium
While everyone was enjoying the Miami Championship Ayu was about to prepare for her match "here we go" Ayu said as she shuffled her deck. "All right, charge complete" Ayu said as she finished shuffling her deck and looked at it "well seems like Ayu is pumped up for her duel" Yugo said as he looked at the young You Show Duel School student. "Well that's because of my shiver-including victory of course she's pumped up" Futoshi said as Yuzu giggled at the young boy. "Sensei" Shuzo turned his head and him along with the gang saw Ayu's parents "thank you for thanking care of our daughter" Ayu's mother said.
"Ah it's Ayu's parents" Shuzo said as he looked at the couple "Ayu's cute today as well" Ayu father said as he had a camera and was recording his daughter. "Hey you need to at least say hello to sensei as well" Ayu mother said to her husband but Shuzo just waved her off. "No, it's quite fine film all you can sir this is Ayu's big moment with the action duel training she received from our You Show Duel School, Ayu will be a star one day for sure when that happens footage from this match will be a national treasure" Shuzo said. "Ayu is already our star Ayu look this way" Ayu father said as he wanted his daughter to look at the camera.
Ayu then turned and waved at the camera for her father "this way ah so cute!" Ayu father said as everyone cheered for her. Yugo had to admit Ayu is pretty cute for a kid her age and it she would have been around a couple of years earlier well Yugo probably would have decided which girl he liked and have a crush on more Yuzu or Ayu but he probably would have chose Yuzu but none the less old man Shuzo was right in one thing Ayu is going to be a beauty and a star when she grows up in a couple of years. "Jeez" Ayu said while Sora just looked at them in confusion while eating a ice cream cone "what the heck is this?" Sora said to himself as he ate his ice cream.
"Now, onto our next match for the Miami Championship in the Junior Class the next player making their first appearances in the junior championship Ayu and Reira I look forward to finding out what kind of duel they will show us especially as Reira is LDS treasured child our expectations can only go up" the reporter said as Ayu and Riera stood on opposite sides on the field. "LDS" Shuzo said "Ayu don't you lose to those jerks from LDS win no matter what hot blooded" Shuzo said as he cheered the young red haired girl on. "You got it, alright then" Ayu said as she pumped her fist "she's even cute when she gets serious" Ayu father said as her daughter headed out to the field.
"As Ayu heads to the field full of energy Reira is" the reporter said as she looked at Reira only to find out that he was just standing at the same spot "huh" the reporter said. "I wonder what's wrong" the reporter said as she went up to Reira while Yugo looked at Reira's eyes "this kid he has the same look most of the commons have back in the city just what kind of hardship he had go through for someone his age" Yugo wondered. "Could it be that your nervous" the reporter said while Reira just flinched a bit "I wonder what's wrong with her opponent" Yuzu said "it looks like he's afraid of something doesn't it" Gongenzaka said. "Hmm well whatever it is he can't be afraid of Ayu maybe he went through something traumatic" Yugo said. "Traumatic big brother Yugo you sure it's not a angry Ayu" Futoshi said.
"An angry Ayu is super cute!" Shuzo said "give it a rest old man" Yugo and Sora said at the same time to Shuzo while Tatsuya just continued to look at the young boy. "Reira are you ready to start?" the reporter asked as Reiru looked and saw Himeka in a building and as he did she said something to him causing Reira to widen his eyes. "Umm" the reporter said Reira then turned to her and he held out his teddy bear for the reporter to hold and she took it much to the reporter's confusion as Reira walked on to the duel field. "All right, I'll do my best" Ayu said "Ayu fight on" Ayu's friends and family cheered her on.
"First let's start the action field" the reporter said "action field on this one is the field magic Mr. Sun Canyon I hope Ayu and Reira will duel here filled with energy" the reporter said as the field turned into a large canyon. "Duelists locked in battle" Ayu said while Reira just simply said the chant "kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters" Reira said. "They storm through this field" Ayu said "behold this is" Reira said "behold this is the newest and greatest evolution of dueling action" Ayu said.
"DUEL!" Ayu and Reira said at the same time
AYU LP 4000
VS
REIRA LP 4000
It wasn't long until the action cards were spread all over the field "all right my turn I summon Aqua Actress Guppy from my hand" Ayu said as she swiped the card on her duel disk and a female fish like monster appeared on the field (*2:ATK/600). Guppy looked like she was about to die in the heat "sorry for summoning you where you might get sunburned, Guppy I'll put you in water right away next I activate the continuous magic card Aquarium Stage" Ayu said as she put the card in her duel disk and the Canyon was filled with water. "Aquarium stage makes it so that water monsters I control cannot be destroyed by battle expect by another water monster" Ayu said.
"There still more to come I activate the continuous magic Aquarium Set" Ayu said as the field was turned into a sea like world and everyone who was watching the duel was loving the display. "Aquarium Set effect raises the attack points of all Aqua Actress monsters on the field by six hundred points" Ayu said as Guppy attack points were increased (*2: ATK/600-1200). "And on top of that, I activate the continous magic Aquarium Lighting" Ayu said. "Aquarium Lighting doubles the attack points of Aqua Actress monsters when the battle I make a direct attack with Aqua Actress Guppy" Ayu said said however a error popped up on her duel disk.
"Huh why is there an error?" Ayu said "Ayu you can't attack on your first turn" the reporter said to the young girl. "Ah that's right I messed up" Ayu said as she tapped her head her parents squealed "even when she messes up she's so cute" Ayu father said. "Ayu come on" Tatsuya said "she klutzy enough to give me shivers" Futoshi said dumbfounded that his friend was able to make a stupid mistake like that. "Ah don't worry about it Ayu" Yugo said "failure is the first step towards success don't let it bother you and keep trying" Gongenzaka said as Reira just looked at Ayu. "Ayu everyone makes mistakes just stay calm and keep playing" Shuzo said "yes sir, principal" Ayu said as she saluted Shuzo. "I set one card face down and end my turn" Ayu said as she swiped a card face down on her duel disk and a card appeared face down on the field before disappearing.
"My turn draw" Rieru said as he drew his card "I activate the magic card Persona Shutter-Layer One from my hand" Reira said as a card appeared on the field. "This card completely copies one of my opponents monsters however if that target leaves the field this card is destroyed I target Aqua Actress Guppy" Reira said as the card took form of Guppy. "Yay my aquarium go more fish!" Ayu cheerfully said "so that card can copy any monster no matter how strong it is" Tatsuya said. "That might be a pretty strong card" Futoshi said. "Due to the effect of Aquarium Set the attack points of Aqua Actress Monsters increases by six hundred" Reira said as his copy attack points increased (*2:ATK/600-1200). "I set one card face down and end my turn" Reira said as he swiped the card face down on his duel disk and the card appeared face down on the field before disappearing.
"My turn draw!" Ayu said as she drew her card "I'm going to add more fish to my aquarium I summon Aqua Actress Tetra" Ayu said as she swiped the card on the field and a blue fish like monster appeared on the field (*1:ATK/300). "Due to the effect of the continuous magic aqua set Tetra attack points goes up by six hundred" Ayu said (*1:ATK/300-900)."Its attack points went up but…" Futoshi said "it can't compete with her opponents's guppy copy" Tatsuya said. "When the two Guppies with equal attack points battle, both of them will have their attack points doubled by aquarium lighting" Yugo said.
"So it'll just end up in a draw them" Shuzo said "so in times like this" Ayu said as she jumped on Tetra "you need an action card right" Ayu said as she rode on Tetra while trying to find an action card. "All right, let's head off and search for action cards" Ayu said as she looked around for an action card but was having no such luck. "Where could it be ah found it!" Ayu said as she saw an action card on a star "got an action card" Ayu said as she grabbed it "I'm back" Ayu said as she returned to her side on the field. "Battle I use Aqua Actress Guppy to attack Reira's copy and at this moment, I activate the action magic Mr. Sun Cheer this card increases one monster attack points by four hundred during battle" Ayu said as Guppy attack points increased (*2:ATK/1200-1600).
"Now she'll be able to deal four hundred points of damage to her opponent" Futoshi said "no that's not right" Tatsuya said. "Due to the effect of the continous magic Aquarium Lighting when an Aqua Actress monster battles its attack points are doubled (*2: ATK/1200-2400) (*2: ATK/1600-3200). "Go guppy" Ayu said as the fish monster released a water like stream at her copy destroying it and causing Reira to lose life points (LP 4000-3200). "Next up, I make a direct attack with Aqua Actress Tetra" Ayu said as Terta jetted her way towards Reira and striking him and decreasing his life points (LP 3200-2300). "All right" Ayu said "she did it" Ayu mother said "even her winning pose is cute" Ayu father said.
"This the practical application of action cards, You Show Duel Schhol Entertainment Dueling" Shuzo said as he turned to look at the audience. "Everyone in the audience anyone interested in joining our school and send your requests to You Show Duel School" Shuzo said "cut it out!" Yuzu yelled as she hit her father upside the head with her fan. "Copy monsters…I had expected something better but it wasn't impressive" Sora said as he looked at Reira while Yugo silently looked at the match with a bit of a serious look on his face. "Aquarium Lighting and Mr. Sun Cheer are only active during battle Guppy attack points return to normal" Ayu said (*2: ATK/3200-1200) "with that I end my turn" Ayu said.
"Then I guess I'll end my turn here too…" Sora said as he started to walk away from the area "what's up Sora you got to take a piss?" Yugo asked the blue haired teen. "I'm going to check out the other arenas to see if there are any duelists who might be a threat to You Show Duel School" Sora said as he ran off. "Hey!" Yugo said he then sighed a bit he still doesn't completely trust Sora Yugo can tell something was off about him but he can't really prove that Sora isn't who he says he is he then sighed and turned back to look at the match.
"My turn draw" Reira said as he drew his card "I activate the magic card Persona Shutter-Layer Two from my hand" Reira said as the magic card appeared on the field. "Cards on my opponents field cannot be affected by my opponent's card effect" Reira said as the field turned gray. "Huh my aquarium I just made" Ayu said as she saw her monsters swim up "guppy terta" Ayu said as Guppy and Tetra attack points returned to normal (*2: ATK/1200-600) (*3: ATK/900-300). "I activate the magic card Persona Shutter- Layer One from my hand" Reira said as he swiped the card on his duel disk and it appeared face up onr the field.
"That card again" Yuzu said "I copy Aqua Actress Guppy with this card" Reira said as a Guppy copy appeared on his side of the field. "My Guppy attack points go up by six hundred due to Aquarium effect (*2: ATK/600-1200). "Huh but aren't all of her continuous magic spells negated" Tatsuya said "that's not it only Ayu's field are unaffected by them" Yugo said to Tatsuya as he continue to watch the duel. "Eh even though they're my continuous magic cards they're only making my opponents stronger" Ayu said. "That's unfair enough to give me shivers" Futoshi said. "Battle I attack Tetra with Guppy" Reira said as his Guppy copy let out a stream of water and struck Tetra (*2: ATK/1200-2400). Destroying it and Ayu life points were decreased (LP 4000-1900). "Ayu!" both Ayu parents said as they were worried about their daughter.
Ayu looked at Reira and once Reira looked up Ayu was scared at the cold and lifeless look in his eyes. "Ayu do your best" Yuzu said as Ayu turned and looked at her family and friends cheering her on. "Ayu make a fantastic comeback that's what being a pro and an entertainment duelist is all about" Yugo said through the cheers. "Guys that's right I'm a member of the You Show Duel School too I can make a comeback with Entertainment just like big brother Yugo my turn draw!" Ayu said as she drew her card. "I release Guppy to Tribute Summon Aqua Actress Arowana" Ayu said as Guppy was released "when the copied monster leaves the field Persona Layer one is destroyed" Reira said as his Guppy copy was destroyed and a large fish like monster appeared on the field (*6: ATK/2000).
"Here a big one" Futoshi said "well done she sent the copy monster to the graveyard with tribute summon that's what I call two birds with one stone that's what I call two birds with one stone" Shuzo said. "Battle I make a direct attack with Aqua Actress Arowana" Ayu said as Arowana was charging up her attack. "Alright" Futoshi said "with this it's a complete comeback" Tatsuya said "I activate my trap Persona Shutter Instant" Reira quietly said as the card appeared face up on the field. "When an opponent makes an direct attack, I can special summon this card to my field as a copy of the attacking monster" Reira said as a copy of Arowana appeared on the field. "And with Aquarium Set effect Arowana attack points goes up by six hundred points (*6: ATK/2000-2600). "Then I'll also activate my trap Aqua Story-Urashima" Ayu said while a card appeared face up on the field. "By banishing two level four Aqua Actress monsters from my graveyard I make my opponent monster attack points one hundred I banish my Guppy and Tetra" Ayu said as her two monsters banished and a box appeared inside the castle.
"To think she had that card ready" Yuzu said "she's gotten pretty good" Gongenzaka said. "Cards affected by Aqua Story-Uashima are unaffected by other effects that change their attack points this turn" Ayu said as the card unleashed a wave and struck the copy decreasing its attack points (*6: ATK/2600-100). "I attack that old granny Arowana with my Aqua Actress-Arowana" Ayu said as Arowana destroyed the copy (LP 2300-400) causing Reira to fall on his butt. "She did it nice one Ayu!" everyone said "I end my turn with this" Ayu said. Himeka just continue to watch Reira duel she turned and saw Reiji walking into the room.
"My turn draw" Reira said as he drew his card he was shocked at what he drew and he saw Reiji looking at him from the building he was at and Reira then had a serious look on his eyes which caught Yugo and Tatsuya by surprise. "I summon CC One Eye Past Eye from my hand" Reira said as he swiped the card on his duel disk and One Eye Past Eye appeared on the field (*3: ATK/1400). "What's with that monster" Tatsuya said "it's so spooky it's giving me the shivers" Futoshi said. "I activate Montage Fusion from my hand" Reira said as the card appeared face up on the field. "I take a picture of Arowana on my opponent field with this card effect and fuse the picture Arowana and One-Eyed Past Eye" Reira said as Tatsuya and Yugo was shocked.
"Supreme ruler of the river of shining scales, I offer you the power residing in my eye" Reira chanted as the card and monster started to swirl together in a portal. "I fusion summon" Reira said as he took a card out of his extra deck and swiped it on his duel disk "come forth cutting all with your blade of water CCC Avatar of Valiant-Water Sword" Reira said as Water Sword appeared on the field (*6: ATK/2400). "Battle I attack Aqua Actress-Arowana with Avatar of Valiant Fusion-Water Sword" Reira said. "Ayu Arowana is going to get taken out" Futoshi said "but Ayu has twenty nine hundred life points left she'll be able to withstand four hundred points of damage" Tatsuya said.
"When Water Sword attacks, it gains attack points equal to the combinded attack points of all water monsters on the field" Reira said. "The only water monster on the field is Ayu's Arowana" Gongenzaka said while Yugo sighed knowing that Ayu was going to lose. "With the additional two thousand attack points Water Sword attack points becomes forty four hundred" Yugo grimly said as Water Sword attack points increased (*6: ATK/2400-4400). "Then Ayu is" Yuzu said as a sword cut up Arowana destroying it and Ayu was blown back a bit toward the ground (LP 2900-0).
Ayu LP 0
VS
Reira LP 400
Winner: Reira
The action field disappeared and Reira sighed a bit and Ayu parents were shocked that her daughter lost the duel. " Sensei" Ayu mother said "don't worry the junior class solid vision is much softer than the other classes" Shuzo said. "Hey Ayu are you alright" Yugo said as everyone went up to check up on Ayu "I'm sorry everyone I tried my hardest, but I lost" Ayu said Yugo went up and knelt down next to the young girl. "Ayu don't beat yourself over like this even if you lost that means you still improve and get stronger right ,that way there no way you're going to lose next time" Yugo said with a soft smile and Ayu looked at the boy she considers as a older brother figure.
"Just use that lost as a lesson for you to get stronger" Yugo said "that's right how many times do you think Yugo has lost to me the man Gongenzaka in the past" Gongenzaka said. "Hey! You're not helping! Especially when I'm giving a awesome teaching moment to Ayu here!" Yugo said after that everybody was laughing even Ayu who was starting to get over her lost. "Now then how about an interview with our amazing victor Reira, Reira how do you feel?" the reporter asked Reira who didn't say anything. "Umm this is an interview for the winner so" the reporter said as Reira just took away his teddy bear away and started to walk away from the area.
"Hey you use fusion summon too that's really cool" Tatsuya said as Reira walked past him and went to Reiji. Reiji just patted his head "keep that up" Reiji said "big brother" Reira said. "To think that we'd lose to an LDS student" Shuzo said "dad I'll avenge Ayu this time I'll definitely beat LDS and Masumi Koutsu" Yuzu said to her father. "All right I'm counting on you" Shuzo said "big sis Yuzu you're giving me shivers" Futoshi said. "I know you're going to kick major ass out there Yuzu especially since you know two summoning methods now but first lets head out to the center court for your duel" Yugo said.
"Wait" Yuzu said "what is it?" Yugo said "where's Sora?" Yuzu said wondering where her fusion summon teacher went off too. "Oh he went off to watch some other duels earlier" Yugo said pointing the direction where Sora went off at. "Good gried" Yuzu said as she reached her duel disk to call Sora. Meanwhile Sora was watching some duels "hmm there really aren't any interesting duelists like Yugo around" Sora said he then heard his duel risk ringing. He took it out of his pocket to see who it was "what's this" Sora said he then answered the phone "hello, hello" Sora said.
"Sora! get over here, my duel is about to start!" Yuzu yelled after that she hung up causing Sora to sigh "well if my disciple Yuzu is going to duel, I'm going to have to watch as her master" Sora said as he started to walk to Yuzu's duel and he then walked past Shun who was his dueling opponent and the two stared each other down.
