Chapter 51: Satellite Shooting Star and Fiery Justice
Okay, so we've finally reached the chapter where it's Yusei versus Sakura. I know I've been looking forward to this, so let's get this show on the road!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's period.
Enjoy!
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the most intense duel we've seen so far has roared to a close. Yusei has defeated the Black Rose and emerged as the winner, now he faces off against Fiery Justice, Sakura Phoenix." Said the MC
"Is your arm okay?" I asked
"Just stings a little." Said Yusei before he moved his glove and jacket sleeve
Suddenly, his mark became permanent!
"That's new, it's permanent now." I said
"I know." Said Yusei
He took off at top speed, and I was struggling to keep up!
"Hey, slow down!" I exclaimed
"Listen, you have to get Luna out of here." Said Yusei
"Yusei! Sakura! Luna's got a mark, she's a Signer like you two!" exclaimed Yanagi
"That's why you guys need to get out of here, like, I don't know, now? Take a look at what happened with Yusei's duel against Akiza. If we Signers are close together it could get dangerous." I said
"Yusei, Sakura, do you two know what's going on here?" asked Luna
"Well…not exactly." I said
"We'll tell you what we find out after we see Goodwin." Said Yusei
"Wait, we'll?" I exclaimed
"You can get to Goodwin without any trouble, right?" asked Matt
"More like it's the no talk, just action technique." I said
"Well, for now, head to Blister's place and don't stop for anyone." Said Yusei before running off
"Wait! Do you even know how to get to Goodwin's office?" I asked
"Uh…" started Yusei
"I'll take that as a no, so follow me." I said
We ran top speed to Goodwin's office, and effectively knocked out the guards, again. Seriously, Goodwin needs better bodyguards.
"Langley, please escort Officer Trudge out." Said Goodwin
"Is Langley one of the guys guarding the door?" asked Yusei
"Yusei, and if it isn't his little accomplice." Said Trudge
"I have a name you know, and its Sakura, got it memorized? Anyhow, he's taking a siesta, again." I said
"What are you two doing up here, punks?" asked Trudge
"That's enough. How can I help you two?" asked Goodwin
"Before we say anything, weren't you going to throw him out?" asked Yusei before Trudge decided to grab his jacket
Goodwin gave a nod to us, and I was trying not to laugh.
"That's it Goodwin! I'm gonna figure out what you're up to! You're going down! You're gonna…" started Trudge
"Issues, that dude has issues." I said in the middle of my laughter
"Time to talk. You forced me and Sakura into this tournament. You threatened us and you locked up our friends. I wanna know the truth. I'm not dueling Sakura until you tell me why you've done this." Said Yusei
"Same with me! What's really going on here Goodwin? Are you trying to gather the Signers or what, because to me, it looks like your agenda is about to get screwed up." I said
"Ha! Are you two dense? It's because of this mark." Said Jack
"Yeah, I think we established that Jackie." I said
"He wants the Crimson Dragon's power, so he's been trying to gather everyone with its mark. He got me here by lying to me, and buttering me up, and manipulating me." Said Jack
"Oh come on, you're making me sound so devious." Said Goodwin
"Actually, devious fits your job description." I said
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that Miss Phoenix. Jack, you wanted to be the Turbo Dueling champion." Said Goodwin
"Yeah, but I wanted to earn that title. At this point, I'm starting to think that you've been rigging everything. I think your little plan involves setting me up, as bait for Yusei. Goodwin knew that you would come after me if I did everything exactly as he asked me to, isn't that right Director?" asked Jack
"Don't be ridiculous. I didn't even know about Yusei until you dueled him night in the arena." Said Goodwin
"You honestly expect me to believe that this is all some big coincidence? You needed to verify that Yusei had a mark, so you needed him and I to duel, with passion, so you created a situation in which the stakes would be as high as possible. Goodwin could never have made you the same offer, because you would've never left your friends behind, not for fame and fortune anyway. I, on the other hand, walked right into it, and by tricking me into taking your card, he gave you a reason to come after me. As for Sakura, she has an old family friend who used to be her father's dueling manager, and he's also a fortune teller named Sartorius, whom Sakura here has a close relationship to, ever since Dawn's death, And I think that brings us up to speed, more or less. I have a demand to make. You got what you wanted, they're here, right? Let his friends go, and Sartorius as well. They don't need to be coerced. I want my duel between Yusei and me to be legit. No threats, no gimmicks, just us." Said Jack
"Assuming Yusei wins." I said
"If that is what my champion wants, then so be it." Said Goodwin
A couple minutes later…
"The most anticipated match is about to begin! First off, we have our very own dueling prodigy squaring off against Satellite's own Yusei Fudo! Now here she is, the Twilight Princess, Fiery Justice, Sakura Phoenix!" exclaimed the MC
As I emerged from the tunnel, I saw an image on my duel runner of Sartorius in a junk yard with Yusei's friends, meaning he was in the Satellite.
"Thank heavens, he's okay." I said
"You better not screw up my chances of beating Yusei, Sakura." Said Jack
"Yeah, yeah, just tell that to the presses." I said before hanging up
"Alright! Start your engines!" exclaimed the MC
Countdown initiated. Ready, set, duel.
Yusei LP 4000 SPC: 0/ Sakura LP 4000 SPC: 0
"I'm up! I summon Sonic Chick in defense mode! (ATK: 300/ DEF: 300) I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 4000 SPC: 0/ Sakura LP 4000 SPC: 0
"Yusei, don't think I won't go easy on you because we're friends, here goes!" I exclaimed
Yusei LP 4000 SPC: 1/ Sakura LP 4000 SPC: 1
"I summon out to the field Neo Flamvell Sabre in attack mode! (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 200) Now with Sabre's special ability, he gains 600 attack points because you have four or less cards in your graveyard. (ATK: 2100) But why stop there? Because you have three or less cards in your graveyard, and I control a 'Flamvell' monster, I can special summon from my hand, Neo Flamvell Origin! (ATK: 500/ DEF: 200) Now I tune my Origin and Sabre together to Synchro Summon Flamvell Uruquizas! Forces of fire hear my call, let loose thy flames, your princess calls! Synchro Summon! Emissary of fire, Flamvell Uruquizas! (ATK: 2100/ DEF: 400) I know Sonic Chick can't be destroyed because of its special ability, but my Flamvell Uruquizas has a special ability of its own! My Flamvell Uruquizas can inflict damage equal to the difference between his attack points and your Sonic Chick's defense points, meaning you're going to lose a Speed Counter. Flamvell Uruquizas, attack Sonic Chick!" I exclaimed
"Sorry, but my life points aren't going anywhere. I activate Defense Draw! Now I don't take the battle damage, and I get to draw a card!" exclaimed Yusei
"Well, all I can say is nice play. I place two cards face-down and end my turn." I said
Yusei LP 4000 SPC: 1/ Sakura LP 4000 SPC: 1
"My turn then." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 4000 SPC: 2/ Sakura LP 4000 SPC: 2
"First, I summon Junk Synchron in attack mode! (ATK: 1300/ DEF: 500) Next, I activate the special effect of my Turbo Booster that's in my hand, so he gets to come and join the fight! (ATK: 0/ DEF: 0) So now, I can tune my Junk Synchron to my Turbo Booster and Sonic Chick in order to Synchro Summon, Junk Warrior! Clustering stars will call upon a new force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Junk Warrior! (ATK: 2300/ DEF: 1300) Junk Warrior, send that Flamvell Uruquizas to the scrap heap!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 4000 SPC: 2/ Sakura LP 3800 SPC: 2
"You've just triggered my trap, Backfire! When a Fire monster on my side of the field is destroyed in battle, you take 500 life points of damage! This might burn a little." I said
Yusei LP 3500 SPC: 2/ Sakura LP 3800 SPC: 2
"I end my turn." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 3500 SPC: 2/ Sakura LP 3800 SPC: 2
"My move then!" I exclaimed
Yusei LP 3500 SPC: 3/ Sakura LP 3800 SPC: 3
"I activate my Call of the Haunted Trap! With the power of this trap, I bring back a monster, such as my Neo Flamvell Sabre! Next off, I'm summoning to the field Flamvell Archer! (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 200) And now, I'm tuning my Archer with Sabre to Synchro Summon Ancient Flamvell Deity! Powers of fire so ancient and strong let loose thy flames to illuminate the dark! Synchro Summon! Light up the darkness, Ancient Flamvell Deity! (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 200) Now I activate Ancient Flamvell Deity's special ability, I can remove from play cards in your graveyard equal to the number of cards in my hand, and well, since you have four cards, I have to remove from play three of them, so I remove from play Defense Draw, Junk Synchron, and Turbo Booster! Now Ancient Flamvell Deity gets a 600 attack point boost thanks to his special ability! (ATK: 3100) Now go Deity, attack Junk Warrior!" I exclaimed
Yusei LP 2700 SPC: 3/ Sakura LP 3800 SPC: 3
"I'll place one card face-down and end my turn." I said
"Incredible! With one special ability, Sakura's monster manages to send Yusei's Junk Warrior packing. I don't know about you, but I have a feeling that Yusei is planning something big, just what will it be?" wondered the MC
"Just watch." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 2700 SPC: 4/ Sakura LP 3800 SPC: 4
"First off, because I don't have any monsters on my field, I can summon Level Warrior from my hand as a level 4 monster. (ATK: 300/ DEF: 600) Now I can summon Hyper Synchron from my hand! (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 800) Now I tune Hyper Synchron with Level Warrior, so I can Synchro Summon, Stardust Dragon! Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon! (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000) Let's rev it up! Now because Hyper Synchron was used as Synchro Material for a Dragon-type Synchro Monster, Stardust gains 800 attack points (ATK: 3300) Stardust Dragon, attack Ancient Flamvell Deity!" exclaimed Yusei
"I don't think so! I activate the trap, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! Now with this, you know what happens." I said
"Actually, I'll be activating the trap, Joint Future! First I get to discard a card in my hand to the graveyard, so that way, I return your Scrap-Iron Scarecrow to your deck and negate its effect. I discard Speed Warrior!" exclaimed Yusei
"Uh-oh, not good." I said worried
Yusei LP 2700 SPC: 4/ Sakura LP 3600 SPC: 4
"So much for plan 'A'. But thanks to Backfire, you take some damage." I said
Yusei LP 2200 SPC: 4/ Sakura LP 3600 SPC: 4
"I'll end my turn." Said Yusei
"I'm up!" I exclaimed
Yusei LP 2200 SPC: 5/ Sakura LP 3600 SPC: 5
"No dice! I'll set a monster down in defense and end my turn." I said
I'm on the ropes here! If Yusei manages to summon out another monster this turn, then I'm finished!
"My draw!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 2200 SPC: 6/ Sakura LP 3600 SPC: 6
"First off, I activate the Speed Spell, Shift Down! Now by lowering all of my Speed Counters to zero, I get to draw two cards!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 2200 SPC: 0/ Sakura LP 3600 SPC: 6
"Now by discarding Quillbolt Hedgehog to the graveyard, I can summon Quickdraw Synchron from my hand! (ATK: 700/ DEF: 1400) Now because I control a Synchro Monster on my field, I can summon Quillbolt Hedgehog from my graveyard! (ATK: 800/ DEF: 800) Now I tune Quillbolt Hedgehog to my Quickdraw Synchron to Synchro Summon, Junk Archer! Clustering roars turn into an echoing arrow which tears through the sky! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Junk Archer! (ATK: 2300/ DEF: 2000) Now Junk Archer's special ability can now activate! Once per turn, it can remove from play a monster on your side of the field until the end phase." Said Yusei
"Say what?" I exclaimed
"Sorry Sakura, but I have to win this no matter what! Stardust Dragon, Junk Archer, attack her directly and end this duel now!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 2200 SPC: 0/ Sakura LP 0 SPC: 1
"I…I don't believe it! The Twilight Princess, Fiery Justice has lost! Yusei will be heading off for the once in a lifetime chance to square off against Jack Atlas!" exclaimed the MC
"Yusei!" I exclaimed
"Huh?" wondered Yusei
"That was a great duel. For a long time, I've never been able to experience something like this, the adrenaline in my system when your Junk Archer removed my Flamvell Guard from play, I mean, it was…wow. I had an awesome duel today Yusei, and I hope that we can duel again someday, okay?" I asked extending my hand
"You got it." Said Yusei accepting my handshake
And that's it folks! Sorry if the duel was short, but it was from my Reverse of Arcadia game, and Yusei was beating my ass in the first part of the duel. Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
