Tori's time to shine! A few cards are from the Manga series, so some might not have known Atk or Def, and Attributes are guess work. Also, the abilities of one of these monsters caused MIND NUMBING math, so just trust me on it, particularly towards the end.
Chapter 22: Caught in the Web
"Let's Duel!" Everyone said as they drew their cards.
Charlotte: 4000
Urania: 4000
Yuma: 4000
Tori: 4000
"I begin this petty match! Draw!" Charlotte said as she began the Duel. "Since I have no cards on the field I can summon this card, in defense mode." The ground busted open and a large grey spider with a belt of black, soulless eyes on its abdomen, and face marking on the top of the abdomen.
Mother Spider: Level 5/DARK/Insect/? Atk/2300 Def
"And now my Mother Spider's about to give birth. But sadly some spider moms don't live past it." Charlotte said as her monster's abdomen exploded and three smaller versions of the same spider appeared on the field, covered in ooze.
(X3) Baby Spider: Level 3/DARK/Insect/? Atk/? Def
"And these babies are about to gain a power up of 2 Levels since they were summoned this way."
(X3) Baby Spider Level: 3 + 2 = 5
She then smiled wickedly. "And babies gotta eat, so I play Aracno-Cannibalism!" Two of her Baby Spiders turned to the middle one and… devoured it.
"Sick…" Yuma said. He knew this was virtual, but this was just revolting.
"And now my two remaining Spiders gain the Levels of the devoured one."
(X2) Baby Spider Level: 5 + 5 = 10
"Two Level 10s so soon." Astral said, anticipating what would come next.
"I now Overlay my two Level 10 Baby Spiders!" Her two small spiders glowed and danced in the air and pure energy. "With these two I can now build the Overlay Network!" Her blue spider Crest glowed on her hand as her monsters went into the red Overlay portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 35: RAVENOUS TARANTULA!"
A round deep blue sphere with seven red gems floated out. It unfolded into a GIANT blue spider with a brown abdomen, the seven gems collected on the face, with one turning into a realistic eyeball, and the number 35 glowed in green on its abdomen.
Number 35 Ravenous Tarantula: Rank 10/DARK/Insect/0 Atk/0 Def
"That is one giant bug!" Tori said.
"Yeah, but it has 0 attack points!" Yuma said.
Charlotte smiled. "But it has quit the powerful special ability! It and all my monsters gain attack and defense points equal to the difference between our Life Points. And with two opponents it gains 4000!"
Ravenous Tarantula: 4000 Atk/4000 Def
"I place two cards face down and end my turn." She said as she ended her turn.
"Man, she is not fooling around. I draw!" Yuma began his turn. "First I summon Goblindbergh!" A trio of goblins in small planes flew into the field, carrying a large box. "And they allow me to summon Gogogo Golem in Defense Mode!" The box dropped and Yuma's signature guarding monster.
Goblindbergh: Level 4/EARTH/Warrior/1400 Atk/0 Def
Gogogo Golem: Level 4/EARTH/Rock/1800 Atk/1500 Def
But before Yuma could continue lightning shot out of realistic eye and hit him.
Yuma: 4000 – 600 = 3400
"What the heck was that?!" Yuma yelled.
"Oh, well since my Ravenous Tarantula has Overlay Units, you take 600 points of damage whenever you special summon a monster you take 600 points of damage!" Charlotte smiled.
"WHAT?!" Yuma exclaimed. "That means we can take a lot of damage."
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 4000 – 600 = 3400
"Yuma, this monster has incredible abilities, and we don't even know what it can do when it does use Overlay Units." Astral said.
"But we need Utopia to win. I Overlay my Level 4 Goblindbergh and Gogogo Golem!" Yuma's two monsters turned to EARTH energy and were sucked into the Number portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 39: UTOPIA!"
Yuma's knight in shining armor rose up on the field.
Number 39 Utopia: Rank 4/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/2000 Def
Lightning once again flew from Ravenous Tarantula's eye and hit Yuma, both damaging him and weakening itself.
Yuma: 3400 – 600 = 2800
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 3400 – 600 = 2800
"He has a Number?!" Urania and Charlotte said.
Utopia turned to Yuma and Astral. "I can sense a similar power surrounding that Number and those girls that was surrounding Quattro and his Numbers."
"Yeah, they both have Crests, and I'll bet that Urania also has one." Yuma said. His thoughts turned to Auriana, err, Eclipsa. He still can't believe his once sweet and kind friend turned into a sociopath that took joy out of hurting Alito and Girag. " I… I end my turn with two face downs." Yuma set his cards.
Charlotte smiled. "If we can get that Number, that will be a serious score!"
"That Number is probably what's twisting his judgment into helping the twerp." Urania said. "But I'll free him of it! I draw!" Urania drew her card. "With no monsters on my field, I play my Primitive Butterfly!" Despite its name, the creature looked more like a purple/pink moth with green wings with an eye pattern.
Primitive Butterfly: Level 5/WIND/Insect/1200 Atk/900 Def
Urania then pulled out a card from her hand. "Now I play Phantom Scales Spell!" A swarm of butterflies appeared on the field. "With this Spell I can summon a copy of my Primitive Butterfly from my deck!" They Butterflies collected together and formed another Primitive Butterfly.
Primitive Butterfly: 1200 Atk/900 Def
"And now I activate their ability; once a turn I can increase the Level of all my Insects by 1! And two of them they're both getting a boost!" Her two monsters flapped their wings, releasing a dust that covered them both as they glowed.
(X2) Primitive Butterfly Level: 5 + 2 = 7
"I now Overlay my two Primitive Butterflies!" Her two monster turned to WIND elemental energy and went into the golden portal as her pink butterfly Crest glowed.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 28: TITANIC MOTH!"
A large egg shaped gem with four curved blades surrounding it. The gem then bursted into flames and an end from each of the blades dug into it and formed into four gigantic wings with an eye pattern. The body then formed into that of a moth with human hands, and an extremely large abdomen, with a purple 28 glowing there as well.
Number 28 Titanic Moth: Rank 7/FIRE/Insect/2400 Atk/2200 Def
"You were right Yuma. She does have a Number." Astral said.
Urania smiled. "I end my turn with a single face down." She placed her one card face down.
"Then it's my turn!" Tori drew her card. 'Okay Tori, you can do this. You've seen Yuma do this a thousand times so you know how to not mess up! Just do what Amber taught you.' "I summon Gem Royal Jasper!" On the field a large muscular woman with bronze armor busted on the field.
Gem Royal Jasper: Level 6/EARTH/Warrior/2800 Atk/1000 Def
"Since there are no monsters on my field I can summon this monster on my field without any tributes, but I can't play any spells or traps this turn. So I end my turn now." Tori said.
"Not a bad move." Astral said. "While she's unprotected if her monster's destroyed, knowing that that's Amber's deck she has a trick or two."
Charlotte smiled. "I draw! Now I activate my Ravenous Tarantula's ability!" CH announced. "By using an Overlay Unit, I can destroy every monster you control with equal or fewer attack points, which is all your monsters!"
"Oh no!" Yuma said. Ravenous Tarantula ate an Overlay Unit and then spat webs onto Utopia and Jasper. Brought them in and just destroyed them with regurgitated stomach acid that melted them away.
Utopia: 2500 Atk/2000 Def
"Now you are both defenseless!" Charlotte taunted.
"Not for long!" Yuma said. "I play Xyz Reborn! This revives Utopia!" The Grave portal opened and Utopia flew out, then the trap card turned into an Overlay Unit. But then lightning hit Yuma, damaging him.
Yuma: 2800 – 600 = 2200
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 2800 – 600 = 2200
"Hm. Now your monster isn't so powerful anymore." Tori said.
"Oh really?!" CH held her hand over a trap. "I play Insect Feeding!" Her card showed a swarm of wasps eating away at dead fruits. "This trap equips to your Utopia!"
"What?!" Yuma said, then saw a wasp of same design as the ones of the card, only insanely larger, and landed on Utopia's head. He tried to smash it, but it then both bit him and stung him, not letting go as veins were spreading throughout his body, his eyes then bunged out, like a bugs then two mandibles bursted out of his helmet, completely subservient, much to Yuma and Astral's horror.
"By doing so my Ravenous Tarantula gains its power!" Charlotte said as power was transferred to Ravenous Tarantula.
Utopia Atk: 0 (Now Insect-Type)
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 2200 + 2500 = 4700
"Now, since trap keeps your monster from being attacked, I'll take out that meddling girl! GO MY FERSOME SPIDER!" Charlotte said. "FEASTING ACID!" Her monster then shot out acid at Tori, who only smiled.
"I play the ability of Gem Royal Spinel! I can summon it when I'm attacked directly!" On Tori's field a jester in a pink outfit with a heart painted over her eye and a two pointed hat with hearts at the end.
Gem Royal Spinel: Level 4/EARTH/Psychic/100 Atk/100 Def
"And Spinel's ability keeps me from taking damage this turn when summoned this way!" Tori said as Spinel stretched out and protected her from the acid.
"Argh. How annoying. I end my turn." Charlotte said.
"The I draw!" Yuma drew his card. "Well bad news is Utopia doesn't have any attack points."
"But Charlotte's own trap will Keep Utopia from being attacked, so we can't be attacked so long as he's our only monster." Astral said.
"Yeah, so for now I play Xyz Treasure! Since there are 3 Xyz Monsters on the field, I can draw 3 cards!" A beam of light from each monster and touched Yuma's deck, who then drew his cards. "But that's all I can do at this time, so I end my turn." Yuma said.
"Then My turn! Draw!" Urania said.
Tori smiled. "I play the spell Royal Salvation from my hand!" The card revealed a beaten-down man dressed in torn clothing on their hands and knees, reaching to a shining crown. "By discarding the rest of my hand I take no damage this turn. And I get to redraw the same amount of cards next on my next turn." She explained as she sent her hand to the Grave.
"Tori is really showing skills. Ones that would make her a fearsome adversary." Astral said.
"Fine. Then I'll just attack Yuma." Urania said.
"But Charlotte's trap keeps Utopia from being attacked!" Yuma reminded.
"Hm. But when my Titanic Moth is the only monster on my field, I can attack you directly!" Urania said with a wicked smile.
"WHAT?!" Yuma yelled.
"Of course the damage is halved, but when my Moth deals battle damage I can deal an additional 500 points for each card in my opponent's hand!" Urania said as her monster was gearing to attack. "GO! FIRE TORNADO!" Her monster created a large tornado of fire with its gigantic wings.
"Yuma!" Astral yelled. "We can survive the halved attack damage, but not the-"
"I've got it covered Astral!" Yuma said. "I play Damage Diet!" His trap flipped over and sent shock waves that shrunk down the tornado. "This trap cuts the damage in half!" Yuma was sent flying by the tornado.
Yuma: 2200 – 2400 X 1/4 = 1600
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 4700 – 600 = 4100
"Fine! But I still use Titanic Moth's ability! GO FIRE HAIL!" Urania's monster ate an Overlay Unit and blasted five fire balls at Yuma, which were then shrunk down by Damage Diet.
Yuma: 1600 – (500 X 5) X 1/2 = 350
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 4100 – 1250 = 2850
"I end my turn." Urania said.
"Man. We got burned. But we are still in this!" Yuma said as he got up.
"Yes, you are resilient, but still no match for us." Charlotte said.
"I wouldn't take that bet! I draw!" Tori said. 'These two are good. But if I've learned anything from watching Yuma, sometimes you've just gotta take a chance!' She thought. "And the card I used last turn allows me to draw three additional cards!" Tori said, revealing the additional cards she drew. "This next move will show you just how out classed I am. I play Diamond's Deal!" Her spell showed the image of a large amount of gold being traded for a only a small amount of diamonds. "This card cuts everyone's Life Points in half!"
Urania: 4000 X 1/2 = 2000
Charlotte: 4000 X 1/2 = 2000
Tori: 4000 X 1/2 = 2000
Yuma: 350 x 1/2 = 175
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 4100 – 1425 = 2675
"But now I can revive both my Spinel and Jasper with the same Level!" Two Grave Portals opened and both monsters rose up. But Tori had to pay the price for summoning them.
Gem Royal Jasper: Level 6
Gem Royal Spinel: Level 6 (originally Level 4)
Tori: 2000 – 600 – 600 = 800
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 2675 + 850 = 3525
"Ha! By taking so much damage you've increased my Ravenous Tarantula 's power!" Charlotte laughed.
"Then prepare for more! I Overlay Gem Royal Jasper and Spinel!" Her two monster glowed and vanished into the red Overlay portal. "With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network!" The portal exploded
"I XYZ SUMMON GEM ROYAL SMOKY QUARTZ!"
The monster that rose up looked like a princess with dark colored skin and brown dress, but oddly had an oversized yo-yo. However, but summoning this monster Tori took damage.
Gem Royal Smoky Quartz: Rank 6/EARTH/Warrior/2600 Atk/2000 Def
Tori: 800 – 600 = 200
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 3525 + 600 = 4125
"My my, how stupid! My monster's power is well past yours!" Charlotte said to Tori, who was on the ground from the constant strikes from Ravenous Tarantula 's ability.
"Yeah, why even both to continue?" Urania added. "Both of your Life Points are so low… just give up."
Tori groaned as she pulled herself up off the ground. "You can throw whatever you want at me, but I will never give up! NEVER!"
"You tell'em Tori!" Yuma shouted. Even a gagged Flip in the background was cheering her on.
"I activate Smoky Quartz's ability! By using an Overlay Unit my monster can swap its attack points with an opponent's until the end of the turn!" An Overlay Unit was absorbed by the gem on the yo-yo. Smokey then began to swing the yo-yo around and then tossed it and wrapped it around Ravenous Tarantula , sapping energy from it.
Smoke Quartz Atk: 4125
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 2600
"Now for a pummeling you'll never forget! GO DOG WALKING DEVASTATION!" Tori's monster pulled back it's yo-yo and did the dog walking trick, and powered up insanely and wacked Ravenous Tarantula mercilessly. It would have been destroyed if not for its Number ability.
Charlotte: 2000 – 1525 = 475
"I end my turn with two face downs." Tori said as the two monsters' Attack Points returned to normal, plus the changes to Ravenous Tarantula.
Smoke Quartz Atk: 2600
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 4125 -1525 = 2600
"Man, Tori did a number on them. Shame she couldn't destroy it." Yuma said.
CH growled. "You are so going DOWN!" she drew her card. "I play the trap Double Sting!" The trap showed a stinging insect with two stingers instead of one. "By detaching an Overlay Unit from my Ravenous Tarantula I can force us both to discard the same amount of cards! I discard my four cards, which means Yuma will too!"
"WHAT?!" Yuma said, then four insects came out of the card and stung the cards clean through, destroying them.
"Plus my monster gains 500 Attack Points for each card I sent until the end of my next turn, but battle damage is halved though." Charlotte said as her monster glowed with power.
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 2600 + 500 X 4 = 4600
"Now to finish you off!" CH pointed towards Tori. "GO, FEASTING ACID!" Her monster then shot acid at Smokey Quartz and Tori. But then it clear Tori was shielded by a force field generated by brown themed princess with a gem in the center of a staff. Then she disappeared. "What the Hell?!" She yelled.
"By banishing my Tiger's Eye I take no damage this turn." Tori smirked.
"ARGH! I end my turn!" CH said.
"Then My turn!" Yuma said as he started his turn. "Let's go Utopia!"
"GO CHAOS XYZ EVOLUTION! RISE CHAOS NUMBER 39: UTOPIA RAY!"
The white warrior rose up in night black armor, a mean looking helmet, and in addition to its twin swords, he had a giant one on his back! And with Utopia gone, CH 's trap lost its effect.
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 4600 – 2500 = 2100
Number C39: Utopia Ray: Rank 4/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/2000 Def
"What the Hell's a Chaos Number?!" CH screamed.
"Yeah, Mayura never mentioned those!" Urania said.
"'Mayura'?" Astral thought. "Must be the one who gave them those Crests."
"Argh! Doesn't matter! I still have enough Life Points to survive!" CH said.
"Not when I activate Utopia Ray's ability! For each Overlay Unit used my Utopia Ray gains 500 Attack Points and your monster losses 1000 for each!" Yuma smiled as his monster's armor unfolded extra arms and grabbed the extra sword that absorbed the Overlay Units and his armor turned white. "OVERLAY CHARGE!"
Utopia Ray Atk: 2500 + 1000 = 3500
Ravenous Tarantula Atk: 2100 – 2000 = 100
"Oh shit!" CH uttered.
"Go Utopia Ray! RISING SUN CHAOS SLASH!" Yuma's evolved partner slashed Ravenous Tarantula three times, utterly destroying it and sending CH flying.
Charlotte: 475 – 3400 = 0 (LOSE)
As she fell back the gem on her necklace shattered into pieces, and when she laid flat on the ground her Crest manifested and shattered.
Urania looked like she was gonna blow a gasket. "YOU TWO ARE SO GONNA PAY!" She screamed from the top of her lungs.
"I, I end my turn." Yuma said, not being able to play anymore cards, and getting a chill up his spin.
"I DRAW!" Urania said. "I use my Titanic Moth's ability to attack you directly!" She pointed towards Yuma. "It might be haved, but it's enough to take you out! FIRE TORNADO!" She yelled as her monster launched a huge one at Yuma.
Yuma thought he was a gonner, until he remembered that a special little monster was in his Graveyard from when CH dumped most of his hand. "I activate Bacon Saver's ability from the Graveyard! Who was put there by CH 's trap!" The Grave portal opened and a tinny pig floated out. "By banishing this guy I take no battle damage!" When the tornado hit his pig, it inflated at an accelerated rate, dissipating the tornado.
"Excellent Yuma." Astral said. "With no battle damage done she can't activate her monster's ability!"
You… I end my turn." Urania said.
"Then I draw!" Tori said.
Urania out stretched her hand. "I play my trap Butterfly Storm!" The card flipped, revealing a tornado of butterflies in what appeared to be a thunder storm. "By discarding all my cards we all take 300 points of damage for every card I discard!"
"Oh no!" Yuma said.
"I discard 5 cards, we all take 1500 points of damage, something neither of you can survive!" Her card glowed and a tornado of butterflies swarmed from it and into the air, then branched out into three directly above each remaining player. "You two are DONE! And your Number is mine!"
"Hold it!" Tori yelled. "I play the classic Mystical Space Typhoon!" Tori's card flipped and a typhoon formed and disrupted the various tornados, destroying Urania's trap. "A card of my own that I threw in."
"NO!" She yelled, the clenched her fist. "But my Life Points puts both of yours to shame!"
"I play my face down, Crystal Ancestry!" The classic card of Amber's Deck revealed itself. "By banishing my Smoky Quartz, I can revive Spinel and Jasper again, each one Level higher!" Two Grave portals opened and her two monster rose up once more.
Jasper: Level 7
Spinel: Level 5
"Next I play Gem Royal Star Sapphire!" A small girl in a blue dress with white stars all over, white hair, and a tiara with a star sapphire in the center.
Star Sapphire: Level 4/EARTH/Psychic/1600 Atk/1000 Def
"When she's Normal Summoned I can change the Level of all of my Gem Royals to the same as one on the field." Her princess held her hands up to her tiara, and stars fell from it and onto the two other monsters.
Spinel and Star Sapphire: Level 7
"3 Level 7s, bet I guess where this leads." Yuma said with a smile.
"I Overlay these three Royals to build the Overlay Network!" Her monsters turned to energy and then vanished into the portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON GEM ROYAL MORGANITE!"
A large and enchanting woman in a large pink dress appeared on the field. Her hair was a dark pink, and had a staff with a gem in the center.
Gem Royal Morganite: Rank 7/EARTH/Psychic/2800 Atk/2000 Def
"Now I activate her ability!" Her monster absorbed an Overlay Unit into her staff. "By using an Overlay Unit all my monsters gain 100 Attack Points for every Spell and Trap in all player's Graveyards!" Four Grave portals opened and cards flew out of them and into Morganite's staff. "With all the hand dumps there's a total of 16 Spells and Traps, so my monster gains 1600 Attack Points!"
Morganite Atk: 2800 + 1600 = 4400
"Oh…" Urania didn't even finish as she knew she was.
"GO MORGANITE!" Tori yelled. "GEM MAGIC DETRUCTION!" Her monster pointed her staff at Titanic Moth, blasting a hole right through it and at Urania.
She screamed as she was sent flying, her talisman necklace shattered. When she landed her Crest manifested and destroyed itself, like Charlotte'.
Urania: 2000 – 2000 = 0 (LOSE)
WINNERS: Yuma and Tori
"Alright! We won!" Yuma said as he hugged Tori.
Astral outreached his hand and the cards manifested on the two girls' chests, there was a crackle of electricity on them, blue and pink. And when Astral grabbed them he almost dropped them from the pain. "What… what is this…" The electricity merged and turned green. He gasped as the electrify formed into a Crest, a green one made of feathers, like the final one he was during the concert, then it destroyed itself as well. "I… I know that symbol. I will have to see what memories these two contain later." He said, putting them away.
Flip then yelled while gaged.
"OH! We almost forgot." Tori said as they untied their classmate.
But before Flip could thank them, an angry mob of students appeared, some had passes on lanyards, and some had Heart Pieces rings with some kind of goo on them. "FLIP!" They all yelled and chased after them.
"Should we go after him?" Yuma asked.
"Nah." Tori said. "That's just karma with them." She turned to the two girls. "Unlike those two who were gonna use him as piñata."
"Wait, they should be up by now." Yuma said. "The Barian's pawns and the guy Aur-Eclipsa was controlling, plus Percy, bounced back quickly. Even the plan Number Holders." He put his fingers on their necks, and noticed a slow heart rate, then gasped. "Tori! Call an ambulance!"
A few minutes later an ambulance came and took them away. "I'm not sure what caused it, but these two girls appear to be in some kind of coma. Their vitals do seem to be stable, but we're gonna take them to the hospital." A paramedic said as he closed the doors in front of him.
"Comas… that's new." Yuma said.
"If you would notice they two girls had individual Crests, like Quattro and Trey." Astral said. "When I took their Numbers there was a small amount of energy from another Crest, one that has a similar signature to the one Eclipsa and Terra use." Astral said, then looked down and saw shards of shattered crystal. "I believe that these two contained the Crest power within those necklaces of theirs. Buy doing so gave them free will tat we didn't see in that Pro Duelist or that rival of Shark's, as their Crests looked like that belonged to those who gave them that power. But it seems the price of losing here is far stepper than just simple memory lose."
"But, who gave them those Crests?" Yuma said as a wind picked up.
Mayura was standing on a building with view of the area, her hair and back ribbon flowing. "Damn. I was hoping they wouldn't lose." She said.
"What did you expect?" Eclipsa said, appearing next to her. "They were up against flipping Astral. Their talismans were only a fraction of what the Archlight brothers have. And Tron's partial inhumanity allowed him to absorb an immense amount himself without the need to contain it in a talisman."
"Yeah." Mayura then reached for her feather shaped jewel encrusted hair pen.
"Why are you still wearing it? We don't need to anymore. Our connections are the strongest, and most powerful of all. Having it on you makes your stronger, but you run the risk of damage." Eclipsa reminded her.
Mayura took off her talisman and looked at it in her hand. "I know…But…"
(Flashback)
A preteen Ren was handed the very same hair pin by her mother. "Mommy, why are you giving me your hair pin? It belongs to you." She said.
Her mother chuckled. "Because it's yours now dear." She said. "It was given to me by father, who got it from his mother, and so on. It's been in our family for almost a thousand years!"
"Wow!" Ren expressed. "That's a lot of years." She said.
"Yeah. Its supposed to grant power to those who wear it." Her mother said. "It never worked for me, but maybe it can for you." She then took it and pinned it in her daughter's hair.
"But why are you giving it to me now?" Ren asked.
Her mother chuckled. "Well, Ren dear…" She grabbed her daughter's hands. "It's traditionally give to the first born when he or she is expecting a sibling." She smiled.
Ren gasped, knowing what it meant.
(Flashback)
A 13 year old Ren with a sad face was walking down the hall of a private school, hearing what the other students were saying.
"What a freak!" One said.
"She says she talks to ghost."
"She's like a radiation of sadness. Just standing next to her will make you cry."
She was then tripped by two guy. "Oops." They said sarcastically, chuckling.
Ren then felt angry, her hair pin twinkled, then she reached for her pencil case, which was made of metal. When she grabbed it, she crushed like it was paper, which frightened the two guys. She gave them an evil eye, and both of them grabbed their chests, and began to cry, then she simply walked away.
(Flashback)
"You and Terra have only had yours for a year. Millennia for close to four. But mine was inherited." Mayura said.
"We all inherited our connection our talismans, and the power they give us." Eclipsa said.
"Yeah, but while me and Terra gave up our feelings and connections to our old selves. But you… kept some of yours."
"Ugh. I don't like Yuma!" Eclipsa said. "You know just as well as I do how dangerous he is if he continues to stay with Astral." She said. "I'm merely using our old friendship to try and get the two apart."
"I'm not talking about that." Mayura said. "I'm referring to you and Millennia. I don't know what is, but you two know each other from before."
Eclipsa made a slight gasp.
"Now while Terra can gladly disconnect herself from her old life, I still like to recall mine." Mayura said. "I don't care what the connection is with you two, but don't scorn me for wanting to remember what it was like before shit hit the fan." She said with a hint of anger.
"Fine. But try not to let it interfere with our mission. Remember, they are the reason we do what we do." Eclipsa said as she opened a portal the two walked through it.

Butterfly Storm: Normal Trap
Discard all cards in your hand and then deal 300 points of damage to your opponent for each card discarded.
Insect Feeding: Continuous Trap
Equip to a monster your opponent controls. Its Atk becomes 0, changes into an Insect-Type, and can't be attacked, and one Insect-Type monster you control gain Atk equal to the equipped monster's original Atk.
