AEON UTOPA'S DAY OFF PART II
[Aeon's Perspective]
Date. Lunch. Lunch. Date.
Blaze immediately dragged me off to a cafe, I'm glad I grabbed my wallet... He orders for us both after dragging me to a corner table.
"You okay Aeon? You're looking a little pale..." He says, waving a hand in my face, I simply shrug and look through my deck, new cards...
"I'm fine; I just need to ask someone about something"
"Who? Your friend Caius?" He asks, prompting a nod from myself.
"Yeah, just as soon as he's out and about... He's not feeling too great."
Blaze chuckles and points out the window. "He looks alright to me"
I turn and look, and there's Caius... Chasing Akiza... Both of em blushing? What the fuck happened...
"Uh... Do you want to follow them Aeon?"
"Not right now... We have our own stuff to do right? Wanna go to the Arcade?"
Blaze grins and nods, and after eating and paying, he almost drags me off to an Arcade down the street, so much for just a drink.
In the arcade, Blaze immediately drags me over to a duel terminal and stands in front of it, selecting an endgame situation and chuckling as he gets ready.
"Just you wait Aeon... I'll show you a thing or two"
DUEL TERMINAL START: Blaze vs Terminal
I look over his shoulder at the field, he has to win before the end of the terminals next turn, and he has two face-down cards, Raigeki Break and Spikeshield with Chain. On his field is Blue-Eyes White Dragon. In his hand is Kuriboh and he has 2000 LP
Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Lv 8, LIGHT, ATK 3000
BLAZE LP: 2000
On the opponent's field is one face-down and Silent Magician Lv 8, they have 2000 LP
Silent Magician Lv 8: Lv 8, LIGHT, ATK 3500
TERMINAL LP: 2000
"Now observe Aeon! I first use my Raigeki Break, I use Kuriboh to destroy your monster! Now go Blue-Eyes, white lightning!"
The machine beeps. "Activating Magic Cylinder, duel failed"
BLAZE LP: -3000 = 0
TERMINAL WINS
"Dammit... How did i not see that coming..."
"Here... Let me try Blaze. I think you had the right idea... just..." Blaze moves aside and i stand ready as the duel resets.
DUEL TERMINAL START: Aeon vs Terminal
Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Lv 8, LIGHT, ATK 3000
AEON LP: 2000
Silent Magician Lv 8: Lv 8, LIGHT, ATK 3500
TERMINAL LP: 2000
"Let's start as you did, Raigeki Break, Kuriboh gets to trash... Your face down Magic Cylinder!"
Blaze seems confused, but I explain. "Most endgames say before the end of this turn, but it says opponent's next, meaning it wants you to win on your opponent's turn, I switch Blue-Eyes to defence"
"Wait... Why?"
TURN CHANGE: TERMINAL
The machine beeps again. "Drawing card. Attacking with Silent Magician Lv 8"
"I play my Spikeshield with Chain! It equips to Blue-Eyes and boosts its ATK by 500, but since it's in DEFENCE and is being attacked, it also gains DEF equal to its ATK!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon ATK: +500 =3500
Blue-Eyes White Dragon DEF: +3500 =6000
TERMINAL LP: -2500 =0
AEON WINS
"And that's that then. You gotta use all the cards you can in a duel puzzle"
Blaze nods smirking, then holds up his deck.
"How about you duel me and we'll see if you can crack this puzzle?"
"Them's duelin' words. You're on"
Alas, before we can do any duelling, there's a very familiar tone, one known to the entire internet. A voice calling out to me, "Ex-cuuuuse me, you need to answer me!"
I sigh and look to the Karen who wants my attention, as soon as she has it she tries to grab at my duel disk.
"Hey what the hell bitch!?" I yell as I pull my arm away.
"You're Aeon right? Aeon Utopa? My child wants your duelling deck. Give it to me"
A string of words cross my mind, The Lion, The Witch, and the Audacity of this Bitch... I give Blaze a look and he just rolls his eyes, then nods to the door.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
I glare at the Karen then follow Blaze out the door, letting the security guard by the door know what happened, he just nods and looks over at the Karen following us.
[Caius' Perspective]
I check my phone as I hear a text come through, it's from Aeon...
'Karen at the Arcade, where are you birds at?'
I wince, Akiza notices, she walks over and glances at my phone.
"Who's Karen?" She looks confused about it.
"Karen is a blanket term for an entitled bitch... A narcissist."
"Oh... So Aeon just encountered one?"
I nod and send a reply.
[Aeon's Perspective]
'Mind your own business, you're not bringing a Karen here'... That's his reply!? I'll fucking kill Caius when I see him...
"Something wrong Aeon?"
I look up and see Blaze walking toward me with two ice creams, one he hands to me and I just accept it.
"He's decided not to tell me where they went, so they're probably banging, thanks by the way, sorry we didn't get to duel"
"Ah it's no worry, we'll get another chance"
"Thanks Blaze... I don't know how to thank y-"
I don't know how to respond as Blaze sits on my lap, grabs my collar and kisses me, I can almost head Caius shouting 'Gaaaaaay' from wherever he is. But I don't give a shit what he thinks, for some reason, Blaze's eyes look different... more aggressive...
He then gets off and steps back, blushing profusely, his eyes back to normal I think? That was weird... amazing!.. but weird...
"I- I'm sorry!" He runs off blushing, I can barely say the words that he immediately ignores.
"W-wait... stop.." What the fuck is going on...
I sit there for about ten minutes and then stand up, glancing at the neglected ice cream in my hand, then i see a piece of paper there, his phone number... This guy is smooth.
"Aeon! Help!"
Voice... That's Estelle! I look over to her and she's being chased by two guys in hoods, purple marks glowing on their arms... Dark Signers. Estelle stops by me and chuckles weakly. Readying her duel disk, i know the drill from what Caius told me, i do the same.
"Alright, Two on Two, This i can work with" She says, smiling at me.
"How are you Estelle? Nice to see you Estelle. Don't mind me bringing two Dark Signers right to you Estelle..."
"Oh shush, just duel"
"So be it..."
TAG DUEL START: Aeon & Estelle VS Dark Signer 1 & Dark Signer 2
So how are we gonna do this... I barely have time to ask before one of the dark signers pipes up.
"My turn! I draw! I begin by playing the field spell Mausoleum of the Emperor!"
Oh shit, immortals off the bat...
"I pay 2000 life points to call out Earthbound Immortal Mikisalomeh!"
DARK SIGNER 1 & DARK SIGNER 2 LP: -2000 = 6000
There are screams, the people around us are being sucked into a... massive stone heart... floating in the air above... and there's now a glowing barrier around us, presumably the geoglyph has appeared.
Earthbound Immortal Mikisalomeh: Lv 10, DARK, ATK 2500
The heart splits open into a beacon of light, and there in the sky is... A giant parrot. A Giant... Green... Parrot...
"Then i set a card and end my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: AEON
"Draw!" I look over my hand and can't help but smirk, that immortal is gone before it can attack...
"I activate my spell, Fallen HERO's Soul! I destroy a spell or trap on the field and then discard one Fallen HERO monster! Bye bye field spell!"
"I chain my trap! Earthbound Shatter! When you play a card that would destroy a card i control, I special summon a level 4 monster from my hand! I summon Earthbound Linewalker!"
Earthbound Linewalker: Lv 4, DARK, DEF 1900
Well shit.
"So be it, your field spell is gone! I am aware that Linewalker's effect prevents your Immortal's destruction. So since your spell was destroyed, I discard Fallen HERO Dawn! Her ability summons herself back from my grave when she's sent there! And her other effect lets me draw a new card when she's summoned!"
Fallen HERO Dawn: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1700
"New cards Aeon?" Estelle asks me, I nod and grin as I draw.
"I then normal summon Fallen HERO Nightfall!"
Fallen HERO Nightfall: Lv 3, DARK, ATK 1300
"Furthermore, i play my spell Fallen HERO Fusion! I combine the Fallen HEROs, Dawn and Nightmare in my hand! Fusion Summon! I call forth a mighty monster known as Rising HERO Sunrise!"
Rising HERO Sunrise: Lv 7, DARK, ATK 2500
Dark Signer 1, pipes up. "Not bad at all Signer, but your power is nothing against my Immortal!"
I roll my eyes. "Sure thing dude, I Tune my Nightfall to Sunrise! Synchro Summon level 10! Come forth mighty swordsman! Fallen HERO Void Ogre Champion!"
Fallen HERO Void Ogre Champion: Lv 10, DARK, ATK 4000
"Next since my Nightfall was used to synchro summon I can call back a HERO monster from my grave! Like my Sunrise!"
Rising HERO Sunrise: Lv 7, DARK, ATK 2500
"Now by paying 500 life points, I can take back my Fallen HERO Fusion!"
AEON & ESTELLE LP: -500 = 7500
Dawn, Sunrise, Champion, Fusion in hand with the one card that could win this for me.
"I now activate the equip spell! Favourite Hero! It equips to a level 5 or higher HERO i control, so i equip it to Champion!"
Tag duel, i can't attack. But that doesn't mean i can't deal damage.
"I play Champion's effect! I tribute my Fusion monster to deal you damage equal to its original ATK!"
DARK SIGNER 1 & DARK SIGNER 2 LP: -2500 = 3500
"With one face-down, That's my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: DARK SIGNER 2
"Draw... You signers are nothing. You will fall to us all the same! I play the field spell Earthbound Geoglyph! Then i play Double summon! I get to summon two monsters this turn! I then use both summons to call forth Beast Striker and Valerifawn, Mystical Beast of the Forest!"
Beast Striker: Lv 4, EARTH, ATK 1850
Valerifawn, Mystical Beast of the Forest: Lv 2, EARTH, ATK 400
Valerifawn is a tuner... total levels make 6. This is gonna be easy.
"Now i tune my Valerifawn to my Striker and my partner's Linewalker!"
Ah. Right. Tag Duel.
"I synchro summon the level 10! Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree!"
Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree: Lv 10, EARTH, ATK 3100
"Then since i synchro summoned, my field spell adds an Earthbound Immortal Spell or Trap from deck to hand! I choose Ultimate Earthbound Immortal! Then i set two cards and end my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: ESTELLE
"Draw!" She looks nervous, I can understand it, two dark signers is not gonna be good.
"Hey Estelle, We got this okay?"
She nods and holds her duel disk ready again.
"Right. I start by summoning the tuner, Incarnaztec Knight!"
Incarnaztec Knight: Lv 4, WIND, ATK 1700
Two thoughts cross my mind, first, new deck? Second, that Knight looks like Yusei in some kind of Aztec Poncho...
"Then since it was Normal Summoned, I add one Incarnaztec card from my deck to my hand! I choose my Incarnaztec Ressurection spell! Then since I control Incarnazec Knight can have my Incarnaztec King join him!"
Incarnaztec King: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1800
And... Aztec Jack has joined Aztec Yusei on the field.
"Then I use the Incarnaztec Ressurection spell to call an Incarnaztec from my hand or grave, I call Incarnaztec Linerider from my hand!"
Incarnaztec Linerider: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1600
That's literally just Crow... Aztec Crow.
"When Linerider is used for a synchro summon, he can be treated as level 3! So now I tune Knight to King and Linerider level 3!"
"Come forth, the ruler of the Stars! Emperor of the Dragons!
Synchro Summon Level 11!
STAR EATER!"
Star Eater: Lv 11, LIGHT, ATK 3200
Estelle's arm starts glowing, a crimson star mark, Signer. That's... Did i know about it? I don't remember; fuck it, rolling with it...
"With one face-down my turn is done!"
TURN CHANGE: DARK SIGNER 1
"Draw! Time for battle... My immortal will attack you both directly!"
"Not with my face-down!" Estelle calls out. "Incarnaztec Seal! This will remove that nightmare immortal of yours from play!"
I look around as the purple flames around us turn crimson, and then vanish.
"Smooth, Estelle. What the fuck was that?" I look at her as i speak, then over at the now dumbstruck Dark Signer.
She just gives me a weird look. "A trap card..? Obviously.."
The Dark Signer just glares at us. "Do you two need a moment? Or can I get back to sending you both to darkness?! Leo, Attack HERO Dawn!"
AEON & ESTELLE LP: -1400 = 6100
"And that is my turn..."
TURN CHANGE: AEON
"Draw. I summon Vision HERO Vyon!"
Vision HERO Vyon: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1000
"Its ability sends my final Dawn to the Grave, where her ability triggers, summoning her back, her ability again, Draw!"
Fallen HERO Dawn: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1700
"Then I attack your Leo with my Champion!"
DARK SIGNER 1 & DARK SIGNER 2: -900 = 2600
"Next I activate my face-down Fallen HERO Fusion! Champion merges with one of the Fallen HERO Dawns in my grave! I call a defence of my Rising HERO Sunset!" I need to get the level 10s off the field so that field spell can be gone...
Rising HERO Sunset: Lv 7, DARK, DEF 2500
Now to bust out my special move...
"Using my two level 4 HEROs I build the overlay network! I overlay Dawn and Vyon! XYZ SUMMON! Appear! Paladin Number 2! Fallen HERO Eclipse!"
Number P2: Fallen HERO Eclipse: Rank 4, LIGHT, ATK 2500
Estelle smirks slightly and the two Dark Signers look dumbfounded.
"What the fuck is that thing..." They say in unison.
"You'll find out soon enough, I set a card and end my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: DARK SIGNER 2
"Draw... I play Monster Reborn! I call back my Leo!"
Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree: Lv 10, EARTH, ATK 3100
"Now, thanks to my field spell... My Synchro counts as two tributes for this! Earthbound Immortal Hotika Kuauitl!"
Earthbound Immortal Hotika Kuauitl: Lv 10, DARK, ATK 2600
Tree. Giant Tree. Giant Green Tree. What the fuck is up with those Nazca Lines?!...
"Hotika Kuauitl attacks you fools directly!"
AEON & ESTELLE LP: -2600 = 3500
Game on. "Guess what dark signers, when we take the damage I play my face-down, can't let Estelle take her turn without backup! I play my spell card! Rank-Up Magic Fallen Force!"
"You what now?" They say in unison again.
"It's a quick-play spell that lets me evolve my Xyz monster even further! I rebuild the overlay network using my Paladin Number! Come forth Chaos Paladin Number 2! Rising HERO Crimson Eclipse!"
Number CP2: Rising HERO Crimson Eclipse: Rank 5, DARK, ATK 2500
"Your weird ass monster won't save you now! You can do nothing against us! I set a monster, turn end!"
TURN CHANGE: ESTELLE
"Draw! I Summon Incarnaztec Witch!"
Incarnaztec Witch: Lv 4, FIRE, ATK 1400
Oh. Akiza joined the party. Note to self, don't tell Caius about this deck.
"Her ability! When she's normal summoned i can target one of your cards and trash it! Goodbye Immortal!"
I glance over to Estelle and nod; she needs to end this duel now.
"Now I play the effect of a monster in my hand! Once per duel i can call out my Diabolic Maiden!"
Diabolic Maiden: Lv 1, DARK, ATK 0
...I'm not even gonna ask.
"Now I tune Diabolic Maiden with Star Eater! Shine through Endless Night! Galaxy Eater!"
Galaxy Eater: Lv 12, LIGHT, ATK 3500
Estelle's mark turns gold as a shining serpent appears overhead. That's just weird...
"Estelle, I'm not a fan of that field spell."
"Me neither Aeon. Mystical Space Typhoon will obliterate it! Then my Galaxy Eater will devour your monster! Crushing Void!"
I watch the great golden dragon open its mouth and crush the petty Linewalker left to defend the dark signers.
"You dumb bitches! Your Crimson Eclipse will leave us with 100 life points left!"
I just laugh and nod to Estelle, who grins in response, and then we speak in unison, which seems to piss off the dark signers.
"We use the quick effect of Crimson Eclipse! By using one overlay unit his attack and the attack of all Fallen HERO monsters we control go up by a thousand points this turn!"
Number CP2: Rising HERO Crimson Eclipse ATK +1000 = 3500
"Now attack, our mighty angel! Blood Moon Blade!"
The angel that is Crimson Eclipse raises his golden sword over his shoulder, and brings it down between the two dark signers.
DARK SIGNER 1 & DARK SIGNER 2: -3500 = 0
AEON & ESTELLE WIN!
"So... New cards Estelle?"
"Talk Later."
"We can talk later..."
