This 4th duel will be the last one for today in Mitsumi's perspective, but soon, she'll have to deal with two more official duels! Hope you all enjoyed last duel and this one as well!

"HOOOOO! I'M SO PUMPED UP! FIRE! FIRE BURNING IN MY SOUL!"
'Oh God, he's like a combination of Gongenzaka and Shuzo-sensei,' thought Mitsumi, smiling awkwardly while sweatdropping, standing in front of her chosen opponent.
Her opponent was someone by the name of Natsu Kinomaki, Flame Waterfall Duel School's top student. Not only is he known for his notorious dueling skills, but he's also known for...being rather loud and too energetic at times, constantly yelling out his words most, if not all, of the time. Then again, he wasn't the only muscle-headed duelist in the school, as a lot of the students were just as loud and energetic as he was, mainly due to their harsh training conditions while as students in Flame Waterfall Duel School.
The school definitely lived up to its name. The settings inside the school as Mitsumi had made her way to the dueling field were rather dark, held up by torches and illuminating red lights as she witnessed students training under waterfalls and in other heated conditions. Heck, Mitsumi was sweating a bit right now and the air was a bit humid as well for her, enough for her to take off her jacket as she prepped herself for her duel against Natsu.
"YOSH! I'M ALL PUMPED UP! ARE YOU READY TO DO THIS, LITTLE LADY?!"
Mitsumi winched at the loud volume of his voice, especially since he was right in front of her. She calmly and politely tried to talk him down. "K-Kinomaki-san, would it be alright if you lowered your voice a bit? My ears are still ringing at bit and you're a bit too loud at the moment..."
The young teen blinked in surprise, and though he did as she asked, he was still quite loud. "ALRIGHT! HOW'S THIS?!"
'Ugh, I really don't wanna deal with him. I'll just duel him and get this over with,' Mitsumi thought, annoyed as she activated her D-Pad. "T-That's a bit better, I guess...but you're still loud. Then again, we are going to have to duel from a distance, so...it's okay?"
"YEAH! ALRIGHT! LET'S DO THIS!"
'Is this your way of revenge, Smiley? Making me duel someone who's giving me a constant headache? Even the last three duels weren't as annoying as this!' Mitsumi thought, cursing Nico internally. 'Oh God, if this is how it is, I wonder what my next two duels are going to be? IF I manage to win this duel, anyways!'
"ARE YOU READY, LITTLE LADY?!"
"Please-! Stop yelling in my ears!" pleaded Mitsumi, covering her ears.
"APOLOGIES, LITTLE LADY!"
"Let's just get started, okay?!" Without waiting for Natsu to answer, Mitsumi turned around and backed away for distance, as per the requirements for a duel to begin. Afterwards, they had to do the whole Action Duel incantation, with the crowd joining in.
"Duelists locked in battle! Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their Monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of dueling! Acttiooooon-!"
"DUEL!"
- DUEL -
Natsu - 4000 LP
VS
Mitsumi - 4000 LP
Once Action Cards split up and scattered across the new dueling field, the Action Field transformed into that of a large, volcanic area. The steamy waterfalls inside the Duel School changed into lava and lavafalls, heat surging into the atmosphere and making the temperatures higher than usual, yet there was a lot of rocky terrain to explore around.
"YAHOOO! I'LL GO FIRST!" cheered Natsu. "I ACTIVATE THE CONTINUOUS SPELL, FIRE FORMATION - TENKI! WHEN THIS CARD IS ACTIVATED, I CAN ADD 1 LEVEL 4 OR LOWER BEAST-WARRIOR TYPE MONSTER FROM MY DECK TO MY HAND! AND, AS LONG AS THIS CARD IS ON MY FIELD, ALL BEAST-WARRIOR-TYPE MONSTERS ON MY FIELD GAIN 100 ATTACK POINTS EACH!"
'I guess it's slightly better with us being in farther distance, but man, he is REALLY loud!' Mitsumi thought, no longer needing to cover her ears. 'How has his lungs not suffered by this point?'
"IF I CONTROL A FIRE FORMATION SPELL/TRAP CARD ON MY FIELD, AND I HAVE NO OTHER MONSTERS, I CAN SPECIAL SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - COYOTE FROM MY HAND!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Coyote - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV5 - (2000/500)
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Coyote - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV5 - (2100/500)
"I NOW NORMAL SUMMON THE TUNER MONSTER, BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - SPIRIT!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Tuner) - LV3 - (500/200)
"BECAUSE OF FIRE FORMATION - TENKI, SPIRIT GAINS 100 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Tuner) - LV3 - (600/200)
'Seriously, how has his lungs not killed him?!' Mitsumi thought. 'On a more serious note, it looks like he's preparing to Synchro Summon! And on his first turn! That puts me in a really bad disadvantage!'
"I TUNE MY LEVEL 3 SPIRIT WITH MY LEVEL 5 COYOTE IN ORDER TO SYNCHRO SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - KIRIN!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Kirin - (FIRE/ Beast - Warrior/Synchro) - LV8 - (2000/2800)
"HE GAINS AN EXTRA 100 ATTACK POINTS BECAUSE OF FIRE FORMATION - TENKI!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Kirin - (FIRE/ Beast - Warrior/Synchro) - LV8 - (2100/2800)
"WHEN KIRIN IS SYNCHRO SUMMONED, I CAN SET 1 FIRE FORMATION SPELL/TRAP CARD DIRECTLY FROM MY DECK TO THE FIELD! I END MY TURN!"
Upon witnessing Natsu do just that, Mitsumi pondered what the mysterious set card happened to be. She knew that it must belonged to the Fire Fist archetype, but she had no idea whether it was a deadly Spell or Trap unless either she or her opponent triggers it first.
"I draw!" Mitsumi called out. "I activate the Continuous Spell, Water Hazard! Once per turn, if I control no Monsters, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower WATER Monster from my hand! I Special Summon Gishki Reliever from my hand!"
Gishki Reliever - (WATER/Aqua) - LV2 - (500/800)
"Now, I Normal Summon Gishki Abyss!"
Gishki Abyss - (WATER/Fish) - LV2 - (800/500)
"Abyss's effect activates! When he's summoned, I can add 1 Gishki Monster with 1000 or less Defense Points from my deck to my hand! I choose Gishki Shadow!
"KIRIN'S EFFECT ACTIVATES!" yelled Natsu. "ALL MONSTERS YOU CONTROL LOSES 100 ATTACK POINTS FOR EACH FACE-UP SPELL/TRAP I CONTROL!"
Gishki Reliever - (WATER/Aqua) - LV2 - (400/800)
Gishki Abyss - (WATER/Fish) - LV2 - (700/500)
'I guess it won't really matter, because now it's time!' Mitsumi thought. "I Overlay my two Level 2 Monsters in order to build the Overlay Network! I XYZ Summon The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin!"
The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin - (DARK/Warrior/XYZ) - Rank 2 - (1600/0)
"KIRIN'S EFFECT ACTIVATES ONCE MORE-"
"I'll stop you right there!" interrupted Mitsumi. "I activate Cursed Javelin's effect! By detaching an Overlay Unit, I can target a Monster you control, its Attack Points become 0, and its effects are negated! I choose your Kirin Monster!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Kirin - (FIRE/ Beast - Warrior/Synchro) - LV8 - (100/2800)
'Thanks to his Fire Formation - Tenki Spell, his Monster still gains that additional 100 extra Attack Point bonus,' Mitsumi thought. 'No matter! That's just an additional bonus effect. At least he can't use the main effect of that Spell again, and he just used up one of his Spell/Trap Zones, so that's good for me!'
Knowing there was nothing in his hand that could save him, Natsu ran around the Action Field, leaping from one rocky area to the next as Mitsumi followed after him. From what she learned from all of her previous official duels, it was that her opponent always had the field advantage not just because the Action Cards seem to benefit their decks, but also because the duelists themselves knew full well a lot more about the Action Fields than her. If that was the case, then instead of splitting up, it would be better if she followed after her opponent in hopes of reaching out more Actions Cards before they do.
An obvious physical advantage Natsu had over Mitsumi was that he was much more larger and muscular than her, thus he was physically more stronger than her. Additionally, like Mitsumi noted, he probably knew more about the volcanic terrain better than she does. As evident, he lifted up a heavy rock and spotted an Action Card right underneath it.
However, there was one physical advantage Mitsumi had over large but slightly slower opponents that she was quite proud and fond of; agility and nimbleness. She may not be as physically strong as Natsu, but power wasn't the only thing that can dictate the outcome of a duel; other factors such as speed and defense worked as well. The moment Natsu lifted up the rock and was about to put it aside, Mitsumi swooped in like a hawk and snatched the Action Card away, backflipping to a safer distance.
"HEY!"
"Finders keepers!" teased Mitsumi, grinning. Remembering that she had to maintain her shy façade, Mitsumi cleared her throat and got back into position. She glanced down at her card and decided not to use it for now. Perhaps later. "Attack Kirin, Cursed Javelin!"
Cursed Javelin raised his javelin and threw it towards Kirin like a spear, striking the Synchro Monster straight through the chest and defeating him.
Natsu - 2500 LP
Mitsumi - 4000 LP
"YOU'RE QUICK, LITTLE LADY! IMPRESSIVE!" bellowed Natsu.
"I set a card and end my turn!" shouted Mitsumi. 'Okay, so if he wanted to use that Set card against me, he would have already done so, meaning that it's safe for me to attack him. But, I still have to keep an eye out for what kind of card that is.'
"MY TURN!" Natsu yelled, drawing his card. "I SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - ELEPHANT TO THE FIELD!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Elephant - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1000/1800)
"IF THIS CARD IS NORMAL OR SPECIAL SUMMONED, I CAN SEND 1 FACE-UP FIRE FORMATION SPELL/TRAP I CONTROL TO THE GRAVEYARD! I SEND FIRE FORMATION - TENKI TO THE GRAVEYARD! NOW, I'M ALLOWED TO SPECIAL SUMMON 1 FIRE FIST MONSTER FROM MY HAND! I SPECIAL SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - ROOSTER TO MY FIELD!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Rooster - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV3 - (1500/100)
"WHEN HE'S SPECIAL SUMMONED BY THE EFFECT OF A FIRE FIST MONSTER, I GET TO ADD A FIRE FIST MONSTER FROM MY DECK TO MY HAND! I TARGET 1 FIRE FORMATION SPELL/TRAP IN MY GRAVEYARD, SHUFFLE IT BACK INTO THE DECK, AND THEN ADD 1 LEVEL 5 OR HIGHER FIRE FIST MONSTER FROM MY DECK TO MY HAND! I SEND FIRE FORMATION - TENKI BACK TO MY DECK!"
'A pretty good combo. Now, what other tricks does he have?' Mitsumi thought.
"NOW I ACTIVATE MY SET CARD, FIRE FORMATION - INGEN! WHEN IT'S ACTIVATED, I CAN FUSION SUMMON 1 BEAST - WARRIOR FUSION MONSTER FROM MY EXTRA DECK, USING MONSTERS FROM MY HAND OR FIELD AS FUSION MATERIAL! I FUSE BOTH ELEPHANT AND ROOSTER TO FUSION SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - SWAN!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Swan - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (2600/2200)
'First Synchro, and now Fusion? This guy's practically a jack-of-all-trades!' Mitsumi thought, sweat dripping down her neck as she raised her hand to wipe it off. 'Scratch that, a LOUD jack-of-all-trades!'
"WHEN SWAN IS SPECIAL SUMMONED, I CAN INFLICT 200 POINTS OF DAMAGE TO YOU FOR EACH FIRE FORMATION SPELL/TRAP I CONTROL! I HAVE ONE, SO YOU GET HIT 200 POINTS OF DAMAGE!"
"Not so fast!" yelled Mitsumi. "I activate Cursed Javelin's effect! I detach his last Overlay Unit to make your Monster's Attack Points 0 and to negate his effects!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Swan - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (0/2200)
"I EXPECTED THAT! I NOW ACTIVATE THE SPELL, FIRE FORMATION - YOKO! WHEN I ACTIVATE THIS CARD, I CAN TARGET 1 FACE-UP CARD YOU CONTROL, DISCARD 1 BEAST - WARRIOR - TYPE MONSTER IN MY HAND, AND IF I DO, YOUR CARD IS DESTROYED! I DESTROY YOUR CURSED JAVELIN!"
Mitsumi watched as she was left completely defenseless once her Monster was destroyed. 'Kinomaki-san played a lot of moves this round, but at least I managed to lower his Synchro Monster's Attack Points to 0. If he doesn't summon another Monster, then I'll be able to finish off his Synchro Monster next turn!' she thought.
"ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE OF YOKO, ALL BEAST - WARRIOR - TYPE MONSTERS I CONTROL GAIN 100 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Swan - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (100/2200)
"FROM MY HAND, I SET A CARD AND ATTACK!"
The fiery powers of Swan sent a smog of his powers around Mitsumi, affecting her Life Points by only a little.
Natsu - 2500 LP
Mitsumi - 3900 LP
"I END MY TURN!"
'I have a bit of a countermeasure if I summon a new Monster and choose to attack. If that Trap is something that'll destroy my Monster, then it's something I'll risk as long as I have my set card,' Mitsumi thought, drawing her card. "I activate the effect of my Spell, Water Hazard, to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower WATER Monster from my hand! I Special Summon Gishki Avance!"
Gishki Avance - (WATER/Spellcaster) - LV4 - (1500/800)
"Now, I Normal Summon Gishki Mollusk from my hand!"
Gishki Mollusk - (WATER/Aqua) - LV4 - (1700/900)
"I activate Avance's effect! Once per turn, I can choose a Gishki Monster from my deck and place it on top of my deck! I now Overlay my two Level 4 WATER Monsters in order to build the Overlay Network! I XYZ Summon Evigishki Merrowgeist!"
Evigishki Merrowgeist - (WATER/Aqua/XYZ) - Rank 4 - (2100/1600)
"I attack with Merrowgeist!" commanded Mitsumi, chasing after Natsu as soon as she saw him running towards an Action Card. "Action Card, Flame Ball! You get hit 200 Points of Damage!"
Just before Natsu could grab the Action Card he was going for, he was thrown back by a sudden fireball blast, throwing him high in the air. Luckily for him, he spotted an Action Card and caught it mid-air before twirling acrobatically, landing safely on a rock.
Natsu - 2300 LP
Mitsumi - 3900 LP
"I ACTIVATE MY CONTINUOUS TRAP, FIRE FORMATION - TENSEN! WHEN THIS CARD IS ACTIVATED, I TARGET 1 BEAST - WARRIOR - TYPE MONSTER I CONTROL, IT GAINS 700 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS UNTIL THE END OF THIS TURN! AND, ALL BEAST - WARRIOR - TYPE MONSTER I CONTROL GAIN 300 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS! A TOTAL OF 1000 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Swan - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (1100/2200)
"Even so, I'm still going to attack!" Mitsumi said. "Go! Finish him off!"
Evigishki Merrowgeist slashed through Swan numerous times with her sharp weapon, defeating him in a fell swoop just as Natsu activated the Action Card he managed to grab earlier.
Mitsumi glanced over at her D-Pad screen, surprised to see no change in Natsu's Life Points whatsoever. "What the-?! What went wrong?!"
"I ACTIVATED THE ACTION CARD, ZERO DESTRUCTION!" announced Natsu. "THAT MEANT THAT I RECEIVE NO BATTLE DAMAGE IF MY MONSTER GETS DESTROYED!"
'He got lucky! Even so, the more important thing is that his Monster got destroyed,' Mitsumi thought before her eyes widened. 'Oh, that's right! I have to activate Merrowgeist's effect now!'
"I-I activate Merrowgeist's effect!" Mitsumi called out. "After damage calculation, if she destroys an opponent's Monster by battle, I can detach an Overlay Unit! By doing so, the destroyed Monster is shuffled back into the deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard! Well, since Swan was a Fusion Monster, I guess it goes back to the Extra Deck! Now, I end my turn!"
"YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTING! NOBODY'S BEEN ABLE TO DESTROY TWO OF MY BEST BIG HITTERS!" complimented Natsu, drawing his card. "I ACTIVATE THE SPELL, MAGIC PLANTER! BY SENDING 1 FACE - UP CONTINUOUS TRAP I CONTROL TO THE GRAVEYARD, I GET TO DRAW 2 CARDS! I SEND FIRE FORMATION - TENSEN TO THE GRAVEYARD AND DRAW TWO CARDS! NOW I ACTIVATE THE SPELL, ONSLAUGHT OF THE FIRE KINGS! IF YOU CONTROL A MONSTER AND I DON'T, I GET TO SPECIAL SUMMON 1 FIRE BEAST - WARRIOR MONSTER FROM MY DECK, BUT ITS EFFECTS ARE NEGATED AND ITS DESTROYED AT THE END OF MY TURN! I SPECIAL SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - RAVEN TO THE FIELD!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Raven - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV3 - (200/1800)
"FIRE FORMATION - YOKO'S EFFECT ALLOWS RAVEN TO GAIN 100 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Raven - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV3 - (300/1800)
"I ACTIVATE THE CONTINUOUS SPELL, FIRE FORMATION - DOMEI! BY ACTIVATING THIS SPELL, I CAN RITUAL SUMMON 1 BEAST - WARRIOR RITUAL MONSTER FROM MY HAND BY TRIBUTING MONSTERS FROM MY HAND OR FIELD WHOSE TOTAL LEVELS EQUAL OR EXCEED ITS LEVEL! I SACRIFICE RAVEN ON THE FIELD AND BUFFALO FROM MY HAND IN ORDER TO RITUAL SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - ELAND!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Eland - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Ritual) - LV6 - (2400/2000)
"AND BECAUSE OF FIRE FORMATION - YOKO, MY RITUAL MONSTER GAINS 100 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Eland - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Ritual) - LV6 - (2500/2000)
'A Ritual Summoning this time? And he's much more stronger than Merrowgeist!' Mitsumi thought. 'I have to be careful about this!'
"BY SENDING A TOTAL OF 2 FIRE FIST/FIRE FORMATION CARDS FROM MY HAND AND/OR FACE-UP ON MY FIELD TO THE GRAVEYARD, I CAN SPECIAL SUMMON BUFFALO BACK TO THE FIELD! I SEND INGEN AND DOMEI TO THE GRAVEYARD TO SPECIAL SUMMON BUFFALO!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Buffalo - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1700/1000)
"FIRE FORMATION - YOKO'S EFFECT ALLOWS BUFFALO TO GAIN 100 EXTRA ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Buffalo - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1800/1000)
"NOW, DOMEI'S EFFECT ACTIVATES! IF IT'S SENT FROM THE SPELL AND TRAP ZONE TO THE GRAVEYARD, I CAN TARGET 1 FIRE FIST MONSTER IN MY GRAVEYARD AND I GET TO SPECIAL SUMMON IT! I SPECIAL SUMMON SPIRIT!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Tuner) - LV3 - (500/200)
"AND NOW, FIRE FORMATION - YOKO'S EFFECT LETS HIM GAIN 100 ATTACK POINTS!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Tuner) - LV3 - (600/200)
"INGEN'S EFFECT, ONCE SENT FROM THE SPELL/TRAP ZONE TO THE GRAVEYARD, LETS ME TARGET 1 FIRE FIST MONSTER FROM MY GRAVEYARD AND ADD IT TO MY HAND! I ADD ELEPHANT TO MY HAND! NOW I NORMAL SUMMON HIM TO THE FIELD!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Elephant - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1000/1800)
"And because of that Yoko Spell, he gains 100 extra Attack Points, right?" Mitsumi asked.
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Elephant - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1100/1800)
Natsu nodded. "NOT FOR LONG, THOUGH! BY SENDING 1 FACE-UP FIRE FORMATION SPELL/TRAP CARD I CONTROL TO THE GRAVEYARD, I GET TO SPECIAL SUMMON 1 FIRE FIST MONSTER FROM MY HAND! I SEND YOKO TO THE GRAVEYARD AND SPECIAL SUMMON FROM MY HAND LEOPARD TO THE FIELD!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Leopard - (FIRE/BEAST - WARRIOR) - LV3 - (0/200)
"But, because you gave away Yoko, that means none of your Monsters gets the 100 Attack Point bonus," Mitsumi pointed out.
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Tuner) - LV3 - (500/200)
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Elephant - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1000/1800)
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Buffalo - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior) - LV4 - (1700/1000)
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Eland - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Ritual) - LV6 - (2400/2000)
"THE PREPARATIONS ARE ALL SET! I OVERLAY MY TWO LEVEL 4 MONSTERS IN ORDER TO BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK I XYZ SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - TIGER KING!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Tiger King - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/XYZ) - Rank 4 - (2200/1800)
"NOW I TUNE LEVEL 3 SPIRIT WITH MY LEVEL 3 LEOPARD TO SYNCHRO SUMMON BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIRE FIST - HORSE PRINCE!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Horse Prince - (FIRE/Beast - Warrior/Synchro) - LV6 - (2200/2200)
"WHEN HE'S SYNCHRO SUMMNED, I CAN SPECIAL SUMMON 1 LEVEL 3 FIRE MONSTER FROM MY DECK! I SPECIAL SUMMON HAWK IN DEFENSE MODE!"
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Hawk - (FIRE/Beast-Warrior) - LV3 - (200/1500)
"AFTER SYNCHRO SUMMONING HORSE PRINCE, I CANNOT SPECIAL SUMMON ANY LEVEL 5 OR HIGHER MONSTERS FOR THE REST OF THIS TURN!"
'He's got so many powerful Monsters! I'll be demolished if I don't find something to help me out!' Mitsumi thought, running around and searching for an Action Card.
"BATTLE! HORSE PRINCE DESTROYS YOUR XYZ MONSTER!"
Mitsumi tried searching around, but the heat of the volcanic area was getting to her, thus slowing down her process effectively. She heard the sound of her Monster being destroyed and winched as her Life Points were depleted.
Natsu - 2300 LP
Mitsumi - 3800 LP
"ATTACK HER DIRECTLY, ELAND!"
Mitsumi had been anticipating a direct assault sooner or later, so while she still searched for an Action Card, she activated her set card. "I activate my Trap, Aquamirror Illusion! I Special Summon a Gishki Ritual Monster from my hand! It can't attack, and it's returned to my hand during the End Phase! I Special Summon Evigishki Zielgigas!"
Evigishki Zielgigas - (WATER/Aqua/Ritual)- LV10 - (3200/0)
Natsu was too late to pull back his attack, and both Zielgigas and Eland clashed against each other. Zielgigas grasped Eland's head and utterly crushed it, resulting in a huge explosion.
Natsu - 1500 LP
Mitsumi - 3800 LP
"Still...want...to...continue?" asked Mitsumi, trying to frantically wipe off the sweat off her body.
Knowing there was nothing more he can do, Natsu proclaimed, "I END MY TURN!"
"At...At this moment, Zielgigas returns to my hand!" Mitsumi said. "I draw! I Normal Summon Gishki Chain!"
Gishki Chain - (WATER/Sea Serpent) - LV4 - (1800/1000)
"When he's Normal Summoned, I can look at the top 3 cards in my deck! I can reveal 1 Ritual Monster or Ritual Spell amongst them and add them to my hand! I add the Ritual Spell, Gishki Aquamirror, to my hand! Now I have to place the remaining cards back to the top of my deck in any order! I now activate Gishki Aquamirror and use Gishki Shadow as the entire requirement for the Tribute payment! I Ritual Summon Evigishki Zielgigas!"
Evigishki Zielgigas - (WATER/Aqua/Ritual)- LV10 - (3200/0)
"Zielgigas' effect activates! Once per turn, I can pay 1000 Life Points, draw a card, reveal it, and if it's a Gishki Monster, I get to shuffle 1 card from the field into the deck! I draw!"
Natsu - 1500 LP
Mitsumi - 2800 LP
Because of Gishki Chain's effect, Mitsumi had the advantage and saw the other two remaining cards before rearranging them in the order she wanted.
"I drew the card, Gishki Ariel! That means that I get to shuffle 1 card on the field! I shuffle your XYZ Monster back to your Extra Deck!"
"OH NO!" cried out Natsu, watching as one of his most powerful Monsters was forced to retreat, leaving him with only one defensive Monster. It didn't matter whichever Monster Mitsumi chose, because either way, once his defense was gone, he was wide open for one last direct attack that would surely wipe out the remainder of his Life Points and make him lose the duel!
"Gishki Chain, destroy his Monster!" ordered Mitsumi. "Afterwards, Zielgigas, attack Kinomaki-san directly!"
The two WATER Attribute Monsters set out to work upon their mistress's orders. Gishki Chain wrapped his chain weapon around Hawk before blasting him full on with a water blast, extinguishing the fires of the fight and destroying him. Zielgigas bypassed his ally and unleashed a fully-powered geyser blast that sent Natsu flying around until he crashed landed on the ground, defeated.
Natsu - 0 LP
Mitsumi - 2800 LP
Winner: Mitsumi
Once the Action Field returned to normal, Mitsumi collapsed to her knees, panting as sweat continued to dripple down her body. It felt like over a 1000 degrees within that Action Field! Combined that with the intense atmosphere and training grounds of the Duel School, and it was like a desert inside!
"YOU DID GOOD!"
Mitsumi jumped, startled at the loud voice that was now ringing in her ears. Honestly, she was feeling a major headache from having to hear his loud voice during the duel and now it even worsened after experiencing such a tough heat wave. She was sweaty, thirsty, dizzy, and she wanted to go home, but she had a promise to keep to Clover, so maybe she should cool off once she leaves this place.
Mitsumi glanced up and saw an ice cold water bottle being offered to her. "T-Thank you..." she said gratefully, taking the water bottle and gulping down the contents within seconds. She was offered a second water bottle by Natsu, something she took, although, she did slow down a bit and felt a little bit better than before.
"YOUR DUELING WAS FANTASTIC! I LEARNED A LOT FROM IT! IT WAS A GOOD CHOICE ACCEPTING YOU AS MY OPPONENT FOR AN OFFICIAL DUEL! COME BY AND DUEL ME AGAIN SOMETIME!"
'I don't think I ever want to come back here again, but I don't want to hurt his feelings by saying it in a blunt manner. He seems like an okay guy...once you get past all of his loudness,' Mitsumi thought. "I...I'll think about it. Right now, I really don't feel like dueling again. I think I'm just going to leave, but thank you for a wonderful duel!"
"YOU'RE WELCOME!"
"And, could you please lower down your voice? It's really not helping!"
"MY APOLOGIES!"
"Urgh…"
It did take a while to finish this duel because I've been researching all kinds of the Brotherhood of the Fire Fist cards and trying to keep track of the calculations and good combos to go along with this duel! I hope I did a good job! Read and review!~
