0713MM: Hey guys! It's been a LONG TIME since I posted for this fanfic. In this chapter, Akiza gets another time to shine in this fic! I do not 5Ds, nor do I own Aura Flood Fudo. Chapter start!
Chapter 53
"I should hope you're a lot stronger Misaki." Jack remarked coolly. "Let me find out for myself!"
"Oh we will! My turn draw!" Toru declared. (Jack's hand: 3 cards. Jack's LP: 3100. Toru's hand: 6 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Jack/Toru's SpC: 2.) "I activate the Speed Spell - Angel Baton! I draw 2 cards from my Deck and then discard 1 card!" He drew his 2 cards, then discarded 1 card from his hand. (Jack's hand: 3 cards. Jack's LP: 3100. Toru's hand: 6 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Jack/Toru's SpC: 2.)
"Next, I Normal Summon Scrap Chimera!" Toru yelled, as he summoned the chimera like scrap monster. (Scrap Chimera Level: 4, Attribute: EARTH, Types: Beast/Effect, ATK/DEF: 1700/500. Jack's hand: 3 cards. Jack's LP: 3100. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Jack/Toru's SpC: 2.) "Scrap Chimera's effect! When it's Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Scrap Tuner monster from my Graveyard."
"Humph. Go ahead." Jack remarked coolly.
"Heh. Come on, Scrap Beast!" Toru called, as the beast Tuner monster appeared onto the field next to Chimera. (Scrap Beast Level: 4, Attribute: EARTH, Types: Beast/Tuner, ATK/DEF: 1600/1300. Jack's hand: 3 cards. Jack's LP: 3100. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Jack/Toru's SpC: 2.)
"No doubt he had Scrap Beast in the Graveyard when he used Angel Baton. Good strategy." Bruno remarked.
"I tune my Level 4 Beast with my Level 4 Chimera!" Toru yelled, as Beast and Chimera jumped to become a total of 8 stars. "In the piles of scraps a mighty beast arises to beat down his enemies! Synchro Summon! Rise Level 8! Scrap Dragon!" In a flash of light Scrap Dragon appeared with a mighty roar flying next to Wattcerberus. (Scrap Dragon Level: 8, Attribute: EARTH, Types: Dragon/Synchro/Effect, ATK/DEF: 2800/2000. Jack's hand: 3 cards. Jack's LP: 3100. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Jack/Toru's SpC: 2.)
"And there it is! Toru's ace monster, Scrap Dragon!" MC yelled, as the audience cheered excitedly.
"All set." Toru nodded. "I activate Scrap Dragon's effect! By destroying a card on my field I can destroy 1 card on my opponent's field! I destroy my face-down card! And now, Scarlight is destroyed! Scrap Demolition!" Scrap Dragon roared, swinging its tail and destroying both Toru's face-down and Scarlight.
"And just like that, Scarlight is destroyed thanks to Scrap Dragon's effect!" MC gaped.
"Kuh..!" Jack grunted before his lips formed a sly smile. "Go on Toru! Attack me!" Toru glanced at him, thinking to the plan before he smirked.
"Wattcerberus go! Attack Jack!" Toru yelled. Wattcerberus's 3 heads growled before it leapt and attacked Jack with 3 vicious bites. Jack tsked as his D-Wheel spun out of control before he regained his composure. (Jack's LP: 3100 - 2000 = 1100. Jack's hand: 3 cards. Jack's LP: 1100. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Jack/Toru's SpC: 2.) "Finish it Scrap Dragon! Scrap Breath!" Toru called. Scrap Dragon roared, launching its breath attack downward; thus hitting Jack. Scrap Dragon's attack that created smoke on Jack's field cleared. His LP may be at 0, but Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend was on Jack's field. "What's this?! Scarlight is back on the field?!" MC yelled shocked.
"You used a monster effect right after Scrap Dragon's attack." Toru smirked.
"Yeah, so?" Jack frowned. "What's your point?"
"Nothing at all. Just having fun." Toru grinned, thinking. Right on the mark Aura.
Jack reached his team's station and passed the team's sticker to Akiza. Akiza then put their team's sticker on her left arm's shoulder.
"I gave you my monster." Jack told her. "Use him well."
"Haha, I will Jack; don't worry." Akiza reassured the tall blonde as she sped off and onto the track.
"You did good Jack." Jack turned to see Yusei approaching him. Jack huffed in irritation.
"Even so." Jack frowned. "I felt like I could have done more."
"Don't worry about it." Yusei told him. "Akiza will certainly do her part. Just as you have done yours. In fact, Toru's turn is already over due to the rules of Turbo Dueling. With no backrow, Akiza doesn't have to do much to pull out her win."
"On paper that'd be the case." Jack agreed as the 2 walked back to where the rest of Team 5Ds was located. "But something tells me Toru's gonna pull crazy card from his hand to save himself or something."
"He has a point. Toru has 5 cards in his hand. One that could be a counter." Crow frowned.
"If that's true, Akiza better not try to end him too quickly." Bruno frowned.
"She won't." Yusei smiled. "I trust her to know what to do from here."
"Yeah." Luna nodded.
As Toru rode around the track, Akiza caught up to him.
"I see you're enjoying yourself." Akiza noted. "Perhaps a bit too much."
"Let me have some fun Akiza. Me and Aura have always dreamed to be on this track! Despite the whole 'fate of the world' situation." Toru smiled. "But right now that doesn't matter. This is just a duel between 2 teams aiming for the top!" At his words, Akiza smiled.
"Yeah." She agreed. "But unfortunately, your aiming for the top shall come to an end in this last semi-final match! Team 5Ds shall be advancing to the finals to face Team New World!" She placed her right hand on top of her Deck. "My turn! Draw!" (Akiza's hand: 6 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.) Akiza looked at her hand and smiled. "Time to grow my garden! I Normal Summon Twilight Rose Knight!" The purple armored warrior appeared onto Akiza's field next to Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. (Twilight Rose Knight, Level 3 DARK Warrior-type Tuner monster, ATK/DEF: 1000. Akiza's hand: 5 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.) Akiza pulled another card from her hand and revealed it. "Rose Knight's effect! I now Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Plant monster from my hand! Come! Rose Fairy!" The small red-haired fairy appeared onto Akiza's field. (Rose Fairy, Level 3 WIND Plant-type monster, ATK/DEF: 600/1200. Akiza's hand: 4 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.) Akiza then raised her right arm upwards.
"This one is for you, Yusei! Shine! The circuit of friendship and bonds!" Suddenly, a dark blue circuit appeared above the duel track.
"Wh-What is that?!" MC gaped.
"Huh?! Sis is that?!" Sect began.
"So we get to see the infamous Link Summoning." Aura smirked.
"So it's here." Toru remarked with a grin.
"The Summoning Conditions are 2 Rose and/or Plant monsters! I set Twilight Rose Knight and Rose Fairy into the Link Markers!" The Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right Link Markers glowed red upon the 2 tornados of energy going into them. "Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress!" Out of the dark blue circuit came forth a crimson white dressed female. She twirled her staff before appearing above Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. (Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress, attribute: LIGHT, type: Spellcaster/Link Rating 2, Link Arrows: BL/BR, ATK: 2100. Akiza's hand: 4 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.)
"What is this?! A new Summoning that the audience has never seen!" MC gasped.
"So that's Link Summoning." Toru remarked, seeing the info of the card, despite the fact that the only information he got was its name, its Link Markers, and its ATK points.
"Yes." Akiza nodded. "Consider this my secondary weapon against the Meklord Emperors, if you will. Might as well give it a test run right now!" She thrusted her right hand forward. "Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress effect! Now once during each of our turns, I can Special Summon 1 Tuner monster from either my Deck or Graveyard with its effect negated!" She pulled a card out of her Deck and revealed it before putting it onto her duel disk. "I Special Summon the Tuner monster Green Rose Dragon from my Deck!" The green and black-scaled dragon appeared onto Akiza's field, next to Scarlight. (Green Rose Dragon, attribute: DARK, type: Dragon/Tuner, Level 5, ATK/DEF: 1500/2000. Akiza's hand: 4 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.) Right after, Akiza pulled another card from her hand. "But I'm not done yet! Dark Rose Fairy Special Summons herself from my hand since I Special Summoned a Tuner monster!" The dark version of Rose Fairy appeared onto Akiza's field, next to Green Rose Dragon. (Dark Rose Fairy, Level 2 DARK Fairy-type monster, ATK/DEF: 600/200. Akiza's hand: 3 cards. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.)
"She was able to Summon another Tuner with that card's effect. And with another monster out, she can Synchro Summon now." Toru frowned. "Link monsters huh…"
"Sis, Bro will be ok out there right?" Sect asked, worried.
"I'll admit, I didn't calculate in the Link Monsters. But I know how Akiza duels, so it shouldn't be too much of a set back." Aura frowned.
"...But Toru has no face-downs to protect himself." Misaki reminded.
"Akiza will go in for the kill!" Sect gasped.
"If that was true Sect, she would have done it already." Aura told him. "No. She's being cautious by his hand; thinking he has a counter if she attacks. She won't attack and that's when Toru will prepare himself."
"Well Akiza, what else you got?" Toru grinned. "I want you to hit me with everything you got!"
"Is that so?" Akiza retorted. "Well first, I'll set 3 cards face-down." The 3 set cards appeared onto Akiza's field before vanishing. After that, Akiza raised her right arm upwards. "I now tune my Level 5 Green Rose Dragon with my Level 2 Dark Rose Fairy!" Both monster became 7 white stars that soared into the green pillar of light. "Dragon of roses be protected and use your strength to bloom in battle! Synchro Summon! Come out! Level 7! Rose Synthesis Dragon!" Out of the green pillar of light came for a brightly a green and white-scaled dragon. Upon it appearing, Akiza then added a Rose card to her hand via Green Rose Dragon's effect. Rose Protector, to be precise. (Rose Synthesis Dragon, attribute; LIGHT, type; Dragon/Synchro, Level 7, ATK/DEF: 100/3000. Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 4000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 4000. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.)
"And Akiza Summons a new version of her Black Rose Dragon! What sort of effects will this one show us?!" MC wondered. Upon his wonder, Akiza raised her right arm upwards.
"Rose Synthesis Dragon effect!" Akiza announced. "Upon its Synchro Summon, I can equip 1 monster on the field to her as an as equip card! After that, Rose Synthesis gains the ATK of that monster!"
"What?!" Toru gaped. Akiza pointed her right index finger at Toru's Scrap Dragon.
"Rose Synthesis shall absorb Scrap Dragon and its ATK points!" Akiza declared. "Synthesis Absorption!" Rose Synthesis spread its wings out and intense light took over Toru's field. A few moments later, the intense light died down and Scrap Dragon was nowhere on Toru's field! It was now inside Rose Synthesis Dragon. And because of this, her ATK rose to 2900.
"Nice going Akiza!" Crow grinned.
"Now all she has to do is attack Toru with her 3 monsters and she'll win." Jack noted with a sly smile on his lips.
"I don't think that's her goal yet." Yusei noted before he laughed lightly. "It seems Akiza took a move from your book, Jack."
"What do you-?" Jack questioned, then he realized what Yusei was talking about. Akiza had paid 1000 LP to equip Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend to her Rose Synthesis Dragon; thus putting its ATK at 5900. "Oh. Now I see."
"She equipped Scarlight and now it's at 5900 ATK?!" Sect gaped.
"...This is bad." Misaki frowned, sounding worried.
"You're lucky, Toru." Akiza told him. "Due to the use of my Dragon's 2nd effect, only she can attack this turn. But even so, I hope you enjoy taking 3900 points of damage! Battle! Rose Synthesis, attack Wattcerberus!" Rose Synthesis opened up its wings and mouth before unleashing synthetic light that caused the cerberus to shatter from her glorifying light. The attack made Toru lose control for a bit, but then he regained it. (Toru's LP: 4000 - 3900 = 100. Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 3000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 100. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 3.)
"What a devastating hit! With that, Toru only has 100 LP left!" MC yelled.
"Toru!" Misaki and Sect gasped. Aura frowned in worry as they watched the duel.
"I end my turn there. You're up, Toru." Akiza told him.
"Right, My turn; draw!" Toru declared. (Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 3000. Toru's hand: 6 cards. Toru's LP: 100. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 4.)
"Still planning to go on?" Akiza questioned before her lips formed a sly smile. "You may have 6 cards in your hand, but you have no cards on your field. What do you plan to do to hopefully defeat me? Or at the very least, damage me?"
"Heh I wouldn't underestimate me and this deck Akiza." Toru smirked. "I've been through hell and back with this Deck. For my sake, and for my teammates, me and my Deck won't give up!"
"I could say the same thing regarding me and my own Deck." Akiza remarked. "Like you, I'm not going to give up either! I've changed since my time at Arcadia, and so has my Deck! If it weren't for Yusei and his friends helping me, I most certainly would still have been Sayer's pet. Which would also mean this Deck of mine would have evolved for the worst." She paused before adding. "But that wasn't the case. My Deck has evolved into purity because I've changed. I've become stronger because of the bond I have with my friends." Akiza clenched her right fist and put it to her chest. "Black Rose Holy Dragon, Rose Pulsar Dragon, and Rose Synthesis Dragon are proof of that."
Yeah. That really is the case. Toru thought with a faint smile. I know even I'm not a match for them. Everyone has their limits, and I reached mine. But that doesn't mean I can't do what I can! Toru looked at his hand for a moment.
"Guess I have to go for broke. I Normal Summon another Scrap Chimera!" Toru yelled, as another Chimera appeared on his field with a growl. (Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 3000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 100. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 4.) "Scrap Chimera's effect! Upon Normal Summon, I can Special Summon a Scrap Tuner monster from my GY. So I Special Summon Scrap Beast!"
"If you're aiming for another Scrap Dragon, there's no point." Akiza frowned. "If I pay 1000 LP through Rose Synthesis Dragon's effect, I can just equip your monster to her and she'll gain an additional 2800 ATK. Which would put her at 8700 ATK points. At that point, I don't even know if Aura could stand up to her."
"Which can only mean I have to get rid of her." Toru smirked. "I tune my Level 4 Beast with my Level 4 Chimera!" Both monsters jumped to become a total of 8 stars. "From within the scrap heap comes a warrior who lives to battle no matter what! Synchro Summon! Level 8! Roar, Scrap Berserk!" Erupting from the field came the scrap warrior, raising his large rusted axe. (Scrap Berserk, Level: 8, Attribute: EARTH, Type: Warrior/Synchro/Effect, ATK/DEF: 2900/2100. Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 3000. Toru's hand: 5 cards. Toru's LP: 100. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 4.) "Next I use the Speed Spell - Summon Speeder! When I have 4 or more Speed Counters, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my hand! So I Special Summon Scrap Goblin!" Toru called, as the goblin-like scrap monster appeared. (Scrap Goblin Level: 3, Attribute: EARTH, Type: Beast-Warrior/Effect, ATK/DEF: 0/500. Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 3000. Toru's hand: 3 cards. Toru's LP: 100. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 4.)
"And it's here! Toru's mighty warrior, Scrap Berserk!" MC yelled. Akiza read the effects of Scrap Berserk, and she just smiled.
"So, that's what you meant by "go for broke"." Akiza noted. "Quite impressive. Let's see if it'll work against me."
"Scrap Berserk's effect! By destroying a card on my field, all cards on the field are destroyed and we both take 500 points of damage for each card destroyed!" Toru yelled. "I destroy Scrap Goblin! Go, Scrap Rampage!" Goblin shrieked as he was destroyed in a crumble before Berserk raised his axe and slammed it down on the track, causing massive cracks to form. An explosion overtook both sides of the field.
"Did Toru just end the duel in a draw again?" Leo wondered.
"No. Look at this." Bruno frowned, showing them the screen. They all looked at Bruno's screen and were surprised to see Akiza still had LP.
"Impressive." Jack grinned.
"Ha…...ha….ha…. I must admit Toru, you went for broke alright." Akiza told him. "Shame you beat yourself and not forged a draw this time around." She pulled a card from her Graveyard and revealed it. "And it's all thanks to Rose Protector!"
"Wh-What?!" Toru gasped.
"Did you really think you had me that easily? Or did you not pay attention to when I added Rose Protector to my hand last turn?" Akiza questioned before she chuckled. "See, I knew you knew you couldn't beat me, so you decided to "go for broke" as you put it. So I added Rose Protector to my hand to counter your desperate strategy. Due to its effect, my Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress and Rose Synthesis were safe from your Scrap Berserk's effect. Which not only reduced the numbers that were destroyed, which reduced the damage to 3000 from 4000, but I was also able to cut the damage I took in half. So unlike you who takes the full force of your own effect, I only take 1500 points of damage." (Toru's LP: 100 - 3000 = 0. Akiza's LP: 3000 - 1500 = 1500. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Toru's hand: 3 cards. Toru's LP: 0. Akiza/Toru's SpC: 4.)
"Tch!" Toru muttered, as smoke erupted from his D-Wheel.
"And with a quick move from Akiza, she manages to save herself while Toru is out! Now the only one left of Team Future Speed is their leader Aura!" MC yelled.
Toru drove to their cockpit where Aura was already set on her D-Wheel.
"Sorry Aura. I couldn't get rid of Akiza's monsters." He apologized.
"Don't worry about it Toru, you tried. This is just a snag, I'll handle the rest." She assured. Aura took the baton before quickly driving onto the track, her teammates watching her go.
"You gonna be ok bro?" Sect asked.
"Yeah. One can only do so much, but I don't have any regrets." Toru assured. "Now we leave the rest to our fearless and terrifying leader." Misaki and Sect nodded in agreement as they watched the track.
Aura easily managed to catch up to Akiza, revving her engine as she did. Akiza turned to Aura and smirked.
"Just you left, eh?" Akiza grinned.
"It would seem so. But just so you know, I'll be the one to win." Aura replied with a light smirk.
"You may beat me, but don't think Team 5Ds is out just yet." Akiza retorted. "Besides, I need to set the stage for Yusei before you defeat me."
"We'll see about that." Aura smirked.
"No. It's a guarantee!" Akiza corrected. "Due to the rules, the turn jumps to the End Phase for your side. And upon that happening, I use Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress's effect to Special Summon the Tuner monster, Glow-Up Bulb from my Deck!" The small bulb monster appeared onto Akiza's field. (Glow-Up Bulb, Level 1 EARTH Plant-type Tuner monster, ATK/DEF: 100. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 4.) Akiza then placed her hand on top of her Deck. "My turn! Draw!" (Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 5.) Akiza looked the card she drew and she smiled. "Time to prepare for Yusei's arrival onto the duel track! I activate the effect of Time Reverse Rose in my hand! By discarding her from my hand, I can re-Set all my Set Spell/Trap cards that were destroyed either this turn or last turn! So with that, I return my 3 Set cards that were destroyed last turn!" The 3 set cards reappeared before vanishing again.
"I see now." Aura remarked with a hum. "So that's what you meant."
"Not quite." Akiza spoke. "Because after that happens, my Rose revives herself to my field!" The time-like rose emerged onto Akiza's field. (Time Reverse Rose, attribute: LIGHT, type: Plant, Level 4, ATK/DEF: 100/2000. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 5.) Akiza then raised her right arm upwards. "I now tune my Level 1 Glow-Up Bulb with my Level 4 Time Reverse Rose!" Both monsters turned into 5 white stars that soared into the green pillar of light. "In the world of speed blooms the shining rose! Synchro Summon! Come forth! The Synchro Tuner of light! Red Rose Maiden!" Out of the green pillar of light came a delicate young girl with long rose red hair, amber eyes, pale skin, wearing a petal design dress of a red rose. (Red Rose Maiden, attribute: DARK, type: Plant/Synchro/Tuner, ATK/DEF: 1600/2400. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 5.)
"Red Rose Maiden." Aura frowned. "It's coming."
"I end my turn there." Akiza finished.
"My turn; draw!" Aura yelled. (Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 6 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 6.) Akiza will no doubt Accel Synchro Summon on my turn. Aura thought. I have to stop her from doing that, but her Link Monster is a problem too. So for now… She looked at her hand and nodded.
"I Normal Summon Aurastar Paladin in attack mode!" She yelled, as her Paladin monster appeared on the field. (Aurastar Paladin, Level: 4, Attribute: LIGHT, Type: Warrior/Effect, ATK/DEF: 2000/500. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 5 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 6.) "When I have a Level 4 or lower monster on my field I can Special Summon the tuner monster Aurastar Libra!" The elegant women appeared on the field next wielding her scales. (Aurastar Libra, Level: 4, Attribute: LIGHT, Type: Spellcaster/Effect/Tuner, ATK/DEF: 1500/1000. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 4 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 6.)
"I tune my Level 4 Libra with my Level 4 Paladin!" Aura yelled, as her two monsters glowed to become 8 white stars. "Blade given by the gods wield it for just and truth! Synchro Summon! Stand proud Level 8 Aurastar Swordsman Angelo!" Appearing was a young male swordsman emanating a dark blue aura while holding a silver sheath of a blue handled sword. (Aurastar Swordsman Angelo, Level: 8, Attribute: LIGHT, Type: Warrior/Effect/Synchro, ATK/DEF: 3000/2600. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 4 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 6.)
"What's this?! A new Aurastar Synchro monster?!" MC yelled, shocked.
"Angelo, attack Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress! Judgement Cut!" Aura yelled. Her swordsman unsheathed his sword before swiftly rushing forward, raising his blade as he did so.
"Red Rose Maiden effect!" Akiza announced. "I send the Level 3 Lonefire Blossom from my Deck to my Graveyard to reduce Rose Synthesis Dragon's Level by 3!" A ghostly form of Lonefire Blossom appeared for a short time before it vanished; thus Rose Synthesis Dragon's Level fell from 7 to 4. "On top of that, I activate Crimson Rose Moonlight Sorceress's effect in order to Special Summon Glow-Up Bulb from my Graveyard!" The small bulb plant monster reappeared onto Akiza's field. However, before Aura could retort, Akiza continued. "I now tune my Level 5 Red Rose Maiden with my Level 4 Rose Synthesis Dragon!" Both monsters turned into 9 white stars, and Akiza, along with her D-Wheel, began to glow a bright red. "Crystallized roses bloom to the beckoning of a new evolution! Bring forth its light! Accel Synchro! Arise, level 9! Rose Pulsar Dragon!" Rose Pulsar Dragon came down from the sky and onto Akiza's field. Sunlight shined brightly in the sky and reflected off of Rose Pulsar Dragon. (Rose Pulsar Dragon, attribute: FIRE, type: Dragon/Synchro, Level 9, ATK/DEF: 3200/2400. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 4 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 6.)
"And Akiza Summons her newest ace monster! Rose Pulsar Dragon!" MC yelled.
"We're toast." Sect groaned.
"This is bad." Toru grunted.
"She Summoned it." Aura frowned.
"What's wrong, Aura?" Akiza smirked. "I'm certain that you knew I'd Accel Synchro Summon against you. So why the frown?" She paused before she added. "No matter. Rose Pulsar Dragon effect! Up her Synchro Summon, the effects of all your face-up cards are negated until the End Phase!" Aura's Synchro monster greyed out to show its effects were negated. Akiza then gestured to Aura. "So, still going to attack my Link 2 monster?"
"I'm not an idiot Akiza." Aura scoffed. "Even if I try, you can you can banish Pulsar to negate the attack and she'll be brought back to the field at the end of my turn. It'll only be a waste of an attack; nothing more. I place 2 cards face-down and end my turn." (Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 6.) Akiza stared at Aura before laughing, confusing the brunette. After a few seconds, Akiza stopped laughing before her lips formed a sly smile.
"You should have attacked, Aura." Akiza told her opponent. "And because you haven't, you've given me the opportunity I need to further set up for Yusei. After all," she glanced up at Yusei in their team's stand, then back at Aura. "I believe you 2 need to do the final act for the semi-finals." Her smile widened. "Regardless, I'm gonna use all my power to defeat you, Aura! My turn; draw!" (Akiza's hand: 1 card. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 7.) Akiza looked at the card in her hand before she set it, then she thrusted her right hand forward. "Crimson Rose Sorceress effect activates! I revive Twilight Rose Knight from my Graveyard!" The purple armored knight returned to her field. Just as it did, Akiza raised her right arm upwards. "Shine! The circuit of friendship and bonds!" Suddenly, a dark blue circuit appeared above the duel track.
"Is Akiza-?!" Leo gaped.
"She is Leo!" Luna agreed.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are at least 2 Rose and/or Plant monsters! I set Moonlight Sorceress and Twilight Rose Knight into the Link Markes!" The Bottom-Left, Bottom, and Bottom-Right Link Markers on the Link Circuit glowed red. "Link Summon! Appear Link 3! Crimson Rose Moonlight Knight!" Out of the circuit came forth a crimson rose armored knight. (Crimson Rose Moonlight Knight, attribute: LIGHT, type: Warrior/Link, Link Rating 3, Link Arrows: BL/B/BR, ATK: 2600. Akiza's hand: 0 cards. Akiza's LP: 1500. Aura's hand: 2 cards. Aura's LP: 4000. Akiza/Aura's SpC: 7.)
"Another new monster from the mysterious Link Summon!" MC gaped, shocked.
"Wonder what this one does." Aura hummed.
"Moonlight Knight effect!" Akiza declared. "Once during either of our turns, I can revive 1 Synchro monster from my Graveyard! Then, 1 of your monsters loses ATK/DEF equal to the ATK of the monster I revived! Resurrect, Red Rose Maiden in Defense Mode!" The red rosed maiden returned onto Akiza's field. Just as it did, Aura's Synchro monster lost 1600 ATK/DEF; putting it at 1400 ATK and 1000 DEF.
"Angelo!" Aura gasped, as Angelo grunted by his ATK decreased.
"Do you understand now Aura?" Akiza grinned. "I'm going to go at you with everything I've got! And if these attacks succeed, you lose!"
"Oh you think so?" Aura replied a glint to her eyes. "Then attack if you can!"
"Not yet!" Akiza retorted. "I activate Rose Pulsar Dragon's effect! Now I look at the top 5 cards of my Deck! And for every Tuner revealed, I can destroy that many number of cards!"
"...Aura only has 3 cards on her field. If Akiza manages to get 3 Tuner monsters..." Misaki frowned.
"That Akiza, she's a wild card." Toru muttered.
"Then let's see it." Aura replied.
"You seem confident. Well, if I excavate 3 Tuner monsters, then you lose, Aura!" Akiza revealed. "Now here I go!" She put her right hand on top of her Deck and closed her eyes before drawing the 1st card. Once she did, she opened her eyes. "The 1st!" Akiza turned the card over and grinned. "Red Rose Dragon! A Tuner monster!" She then drew again and looked at the card before revealing it. "The 2nd! A Trap card!" She drew again. "The 3rd!" She turned it over before revealing it. "Another Tuner! Twilight Rose Knight!" She drew for a fourth time. "The 4th!" Once again, she turned to the card over to look at it and she frowned slightly. "Speed Spell - Monster Reborn!" She put her right hand on top of her Deck for the 5th time.
Please Deck! Answer my call! Team 5Ds NEEDS this win! Please!
"THE 5TH!" Akiza declared as she drew her 5th and last card. The suspension regarding everyone began to intensify.
"What did Akiza draw for her 5th card?" Leo wondered aloud.
"Come on Akiza." Yusei spoke softly as Jack watched intently.
"Bro." Sect grimaced.
"Is it?" Toru frowned.
Aura watched silently, her expression unreadable. Akiza turned the card over and looked at it. Her lips formed a smile.
"The 5th card…. Is the Tuner monster, Soul Rose!" Akiza announced. "Now all 3 of your cards are destroyed, Aura!" Aura watched as her 3 cards were destroyed off her field.
"And just like that, Aura's field is empty! Nothing to protect her with!" MC yelled, shocked.
"...Nicely done." Aura muttered with a faint smile.
"I activate the Speed Spell - Speed Energy! With this, I increase Rose Pulsar's ATK by 1400!" Akiza grinned as her Accel Synchro monster's ATK rose to 4600. "Battle! Rose Pulsar, attack Aura directly! Rose Pulse!" The dragon opened up its mouth as rosy colored energy appeared on its wings, then it went into her mouth to blast at Aura, which connected. (Aura's LP: 4000 - 4600 = 0.)
"And that is it! The winner of this match and heading for the finals are Team 5Ds!" MC yelled. Smoke erupted from Aura's D-Wheel as she stopped as her teammates ran to her.
"Sis!" Sect yelled.
"Aura are you ok?" Toru asked.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Aura assured them calmly. "...I'm sorry I couldn't do anything."
"...Aura." Misaki began. Aura held up a hand to stop her as she removed her helmet.
"Smiles now everyone." She told them. They noticed Team 5Ds walking towards them and they quickly understood as they smiled.
"Hey guys! Looks like you won. Congrats." Toru grinned.
"Seems so." Yusei smiled.
"Humph. Akiza did all the work however." Jack frowned.
"Hey!" Akiza punched Jack playfully, which caused Jack and Akiza to laugh.
"Goes to show how strong she's become." Aura replied with a light smile. "Now we know who we can rely on to save our future."
"Yeah! So you guys better not lose!" Sect told them.
"Haha, we won't.' Yusei reassured Sect.
"...We should go now; give our D-Wheels a tune up for their hard work." Misaki spoke.
"Just what I was thinking Misaki." Aura smiled, putting back on her hat. "And after that a meal for our time on the track."
"Yeah!" Toru and Sect cheered.
"Let's be off." Aura said, leading her team away. Akiza, Jack, Yusei, Bruno, Leo, Luna, and Crow watched them leave.
The figure wearing the black and white mask watched Team Future Speed leave the stadium; his eyes on Aura.
"Hmph. "Trying to save face" when she's obviously furious at herself for that sorry duel. No matter. With how she is now it will be easy to get rid of her." He remarked coldly as he walked away.
"Akiza did it…" Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up to the higher part of the stands and sees a white and black masked man walk away. She frowned deeply. "If that's who I think it is…..I better warn Team 5Ds and Team Future Speed."
