Chapter 52: As fate would have it
"Show you my worth as a Silver Division student?" Kenji asked, "What exactly are you expecting from me against a Gold Division student?" Kira's turn had already ended. "Draw!" Kenji continued, "I summon Darkstar Wyvern (Lv.2/800ATK)! Next I banish, from my field, my level 2 Darkstar Wyvern and, from my graveyard, my level 6 Darkstar Cosmos! By allowing this monster to stay of the field for 8 turns, Future Summon! Appear, level 8, Darkstar Chimera (2800ATK)! Due to my Field Spell, Chimera gains 500 ATK (3300ATK). Now I activate Chimera's effect. Once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 "Darkstar" monster from my deck. I'm summoning a second copy of Darkstar Chameleon (Lv.1/Tuner). Finally, I tune my level 1 Darkstar Chameleon with my level 8 Darkstar Chimera! Synchro Summon! Rise, level 9, Darkstar Overlord of Chastisement (Lv.9/3200ATK)!"
"So this is your ace monster?" Kira asked. "This will be the monster that crushes you," Kenji replied, "Because of the Field Spell, Chastisement gains 500 ATK (3700ATK)!" Just as it did before, Chastisement's eyes glowed red. Kira was being drained. Fortunately for her, she was strong enough to resist it but the same couldn't be said for Kenji. As Zurui warned him, his energy was also being drained. "Come Kenji!" Kira exclaimed, "I want to beat you at your best!"
"You're gonna get it," Kenji said, "I activate Chastisement's effect! When Synchro Summoned, Chastisement can have 1 monster my opponent controls lose half its ATK and convert it into life points for me. I choose your Universe-Eyes Plasma Dragon." Plasma Dragon's new ATK became 1750 and Kenji's LP rose to 3150. "Battle Phase!" Kenji announced, "Darkstar Overlord of Chastisement, destroy her Universe-Eyes Plasma Dragon!" "Trap card, Plasma Shield, activate!" Kira said, "By equipping this Trap Card to Universe-Eyes Plasma Dragon, it cannot be destroyed by battle. Also, any battle damage I take from battles involving Universe-Eyes Plasma Dragon are halved."
"You'll still take damage," Kenji mentioned, "Attack her Plasma Dragon!" With her Trap saving her, Kira only takes 975 damage (925LP left). "...I end my turn there," Kenji announced. Kira took her turn and drew. "From my hand, I activate Plasma Dragon Bioshock. If I control a "Universe-Eyes Plasma Dragon" whose ATK is different from its original ATK, its ATK returns to its original ATK and one monster my opponent control loses ATK equal to the amount gained. In other words, since my Plasma Dragon's ATK is 1750, it'll go back to 3500 and your Chastisement will lose 1750 ATK."
Chastisement's new ATK becomes 1950. "Crap!" Kenji said. "Yeah, you know the result as well. You. Lose," Kira stated, "Battle Phase! Universe-Eyes Plasma Dragon, attack Kenji's Darkstar Overlord of Chastisement! Plasmatic Sprial of Chaos!" Using its body to create a spiral, Plasma Dragon ultimately destroys Chastisement and deals 1550 damage to Kenji. His life points hit 0 and he collapsed to the floor.
-Kira wins-
Kenji layed unconscious as Kira left him there. "As least this duel was more interesting than my last one," Kira said as her final remark. Kenji would not get up for the next 30 minutes. During his time unconscious, he thought about the reason he came to Grand Dueling School. "Alone... Abandonment..." These were the words Kenji thought while he was knocked out. "Revenge..."
Once conscious, Kenji slowly got up and realized what happened. "Zurui..!" he thought. He rushed back to his dorm room where it was dark. He flicked the lights on and there was no movement. "Zurui! You in here?" Kenji asked. Normally, Zurui laid on Kenji's bed to do some thinking. This time, he was gone. Kenji gritted his teeth and ran out.
