by UncouthFive

The story is set in a distant future in Koragami City where dueling has taken a new form called Future Summoning. The heroine is a 15-year-old girl named Yura Minako. Abandoning her old home, Yura now must compete for a chance to enter a grand dueling school. Then one day, as she prepares for a matchup, Yura encounters a familiar named Aru in her bag. What does this mean for Yura?

Chapter 38: I definitely won't lose

"I'm starting this duel off by summoning hEARTH Weaponeer (Lv.3). When Weaponeer is normal summoned, I can add 1 "hEARTH" equip spell card from my deck to my hand. I'm adding hEARTH Warrior's Armor. Next I set three cards and end my turn," Yura concluded. "You got this Yura!" Shizuka cheered. "Yeah, you can take him!" Aru cheered with. "I draw," Kenji started, "I'm gonna start my turn off by activating the Darkwind Ruins Field spell." Ruins? Yura thought, If I remember right, his last Field spell was Darkwind Skypalace which means... The stadium transformed into Greek-like ruins. "All "Darkstar" monsters gain 500 ATK points," Kenji explained, "If I would Future or Synchro Summon a "Darkstar" monster, I can use one of my opponent's monsters as material and treat it as a "Darkstar" monster. I can only do this once a turn."

"A field spell that lets you Future or Synchro summon with your opponent's monsters? Is something like that really possible?" Yura asked. "It is," Kenji answered, "And I'll show you how it works. I summon the Tuner monster, Darkstar Magma (Lv.3). Now because of Darkwind Ruins, I tune my level 3 Darkstar Magma and your hEARTH Weaponeer. Synchro Summon! Rise, level 6, Darkstar Cosmos (DARK/Winged-Beast/2600atk/1400def)! Darkstar Cosmos gains 500 ATK through Darkwind Ruins so now its new ATK is 3100."

"Trap card activate! hEARTH Illusion!" Yura said, "If there is a monster on the field whose current ATK is different from its original ATK, it loses half its ATK. Your monster's ATK now becomes 1550 until the End Phase of this turn." "A minor set-back," Kenji pointed out, "Battle Phase! Darkstar Cosmos, attack Yura directly." Cosmos flapped its wings, creating winds brushing through Yura and dealing 1550 damage to her (2450LP left). "Next, I'll set 2 cards and end my turn," Kenji concluded.

"It's my turn. I draw!" Yura said, "I activate the spell card hEARTH Rushed. I can special summon a level 6 or lower "hEARTH" Future monster from my Extra Deck. However, its effects are negated and it cannot attack nor be used to Tribute summon a monster. I special summon hEARTH Caspian (Lv.5/Warrior/2000atk/2400def) in DEF position. Now I banish from my field, my level 5 hEARTH Caspian, and from my graveyard, my level 3 hEARTH Weaponeer. I should thank you for helping me set this up. By allowing this monster to stay on the field for 8 turns, Future summon! Come to me, hEARTH Warrior of the Past (2500ATK). When Future summoned, hEARTH Warrior can target up to 2 cards on the field and return them to the owner's hand. The targeted cards cannot be activated in response to hEARTH Warrior's effect. I'm targeting your two face-down cards." Kenji's cards returned to his hand. "Well you temporarily got rid of my face-down cards, but your monster is weaker than my Darkstar Cosmos," he said.

"Ugh he's right," Yura said, "I didn't think it through well enough. I guess I have no choice. I activate another Trap card, hEARTH Shift Movement. All monsters my opponent controls are switched to DEF position and each lose 500 DEF. Then one monster I control can attack all monsters that were switched. Now your Darkstar Cosmos is in DEF position and loses 500 DEF (900def). Battle Phase! Go hEARTH Warrior of the Past, destroy Kenji's Darkstar Cosmos."

"Not bad," Kenji said. "I end my turn now," Yura said. "Hey, do you remember when I called you the "brightest light"? Kenji asked. "Yeah, I remember," Yura said. "What did you mean by that?" she asked. "I'll show you right now," Kenji responded, "Get ready Yura!"
