Harry Potter and the Tri-Academy Tournament
Ch. 4: Weasley vs. Weasley
"I was kind of hoping it'd be Charlie, but I've been aching to duel you as well, Perce."
"Neither of us is holding back, Ginny. Is that clear?"
"You don't have to tell me twice."
GW: 8000

A mechanical wyvern flew onto the field.

A huge, red and grey, wyvern-like monster now crouched on the field.

AGD: 1000/1800 - 1300/1800
"During my main phase, my Devil can inflict 1000 damage to you."
The cannons on the Devil's shoulders fired at Ginny.
GW: 7000
"I end my turn."
"I play Pot of Greed, and then I play the continuous spell Hysteric Sign. I add the spell Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Doppelgangers to my hand. I also play the continuous spell Split Mirrors of Seduction. I set another card, and then I summon Harpy Channeler."

Wind
Winged Beast/Effect
1400/1300
A redhead woman with bird talons for hands and feet flew onto the field. She had black wings on her arms, and wore a rather revealing white outfit. In her right hand she held a staff, in her left hand was a long chain attached to a large collar.
"Now I play the field spell Harpy Hunting Ground. When a Harpy Lady or Three Harpy Lady Sisters is either normal or special summoned, I can target one spell or trap on the field and destroy it. I discard a Harpy card from my hand to special summon one Harpy monster from my deck in face-up defense position except another Channeler. Now here's Harpy Perfumer."

1400/1300
This harpy had a skintight purple outfit, lavender hair, and green wings. She held a bottle of perfume in her left hand.

Wind
Winged Beast/Effect
1300/1400
This harpy had long, spiky, blue hair, green wings, and barely an outfit to speak of.
"Hunting Ground activates again, and I'll destroy my Hysteric Sign."
"What are you up to?"
"You'll see...I tune the Perfumer and the Channeler together to Synchro summon Harpie Lady - Scratch Clash!"
Cyber Slash Harpie Lady
LV8
Wind
Winged Beast/Synchro/Effect
2600/1400
This harpy was a bit larger than the others. She had long pink hair, purple wings, and gold armor covering her talons, legs, and chest.
"The Hunting Ground activates again, this time I'll destroy your Castle."
Percy was starting to look a tad annoyed, "How did you summon a Synchro without a Tuner?"
"I can treat one of my Harpy Lady monsters as a Tuner to Synchro summon this card. Now I'll activate the spell Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Doppelgangers. If a Harpy Lady is on my field, I can special summon either another Harpy Lady or Three Harpie Lady Sisters. I choose the latter."
Harpie Lady Sisters

Three gold armored harpies now flew onto the field.
"Meet the triplets: Aello..."
The one with long pink-purple hair, lavender wings, and brandishing a whip.
"...Ocypete..."
The one with short orange hair and green wings.
"...and Celaeno."
The one with spiky blue hair and purple wings.
"Once per turn, when a spell card, a trap card, or an effect is activated, except during the damage step, I can target either one of your monsters, or one of my harpies, and return it to the hand. I choose your Wyvern."
The mechanical monster was sent flying off the field.
"Also, since I summoned another Harpy, the Hunting Ground activates again. I destroy my face down trap, The Elegant Harpie Lady. When this card I control is destroyed by either your or a Harpy card effect, I add one Harpy monster from my deck to my hand. Next, since I control a level 5 or higher Harpy monster, I can special summon Harpy Oracle from my hand."
Harpie Oracle
LV4
Wind
Winged Beast/Effect
1300/1400
This harpy had long cyan hair, black wings, and she held a crystal ball in her talons.
"This time the Hunting Ground destroys itself. As for my Oracle, when she's normal or special summoned, I can add one spell or trap from my graveyard to my hand that specifically lists Three Harpy Lady Sisters in its text. I choose Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Doppelgangers. I'll use it now to special summon Harpy Lady 2 from my deck."

Rank4
Wind
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
2000/2500
The Channeler reappeared and held out her left hand, the one holding the long chain with the empty collar. Suddenly, the collar seemed to float in midair, and from out of nowhere, a large dragon appeared, sporting the collar around its long neck. The large pink dragon had an almost ghostly appearance, as though it wasn't in the same plane of existence. Three energy orbs floated around it.
"Time to go on the offensive. I attack your Gear Devil with my Scratch Clash!"
The large harpy swiped her armored claws at the machine.
PW: 6400
"I activate the other effect of my Devil. When its destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one Antique Gear monster from my deck, ignoring its summoning conditions. I now summon Antique Gear Golem."
Ancient Gear Golem

Machine/Effect
3000/3000
The colossal robot styled after a Greek soldier now towered over the field.
"Let's see you get past this."
"Okay, my Pet Mirage Dragon can attack you directly!"
The semi-ethereal dragon flew past the Golem and shot Percy with a burst of flames from its mouth.
PW: 4400
"I'll now play the spell Harpy's Feather Roosting. I target three Harpy Lady monsters in my graveyard and shuffle them into my deck. I normally get to draw one card, but since I control a level 5 or higher Harpy monster, I get to draw two cards. I'll set one card. During the end phase, if Hysteric Sign is in my graveyard because it was sent there from the hand or field this turn, I can add up to three Harpy cards with different names from each other from my deck to my hand."
Ginny quickly flipped through her deck, picked out three, and then shuffled her deck.
"Also during the end phase, my Pet Mirage Dragon detaches one material. Your move, Percy."
"I activate the spell Antique Gear Fusion. If one of the fusion materials is Antique Gear Golem, I can use monsters from my deck as the other materials. By fusing three Antique Gear monsters, I fusion summon Antique Gear Megaton Golem."
Ancient Gear Megaton Golem
LV9
Earth
Machine/Fusion/Effect
3300/3300
A new larger robot now loomed over the field. It looked as if the original golem now had four legs and six arms.
"You cannot activate any spells or traps until the end of the damage step if this monster attacks. If it was Fusion summoned using two or more Antique Gear Golem and/or Antique Gear - Ultimate Pound, it can attack the same amount of times during each battle phase. I used one of each of those monsters, so it can attack twice. First I'll attack your Synchro harpy..."
GW: 6300
"...and now for your dragon."
GW: 5000
"I activate my trap, Jar of Avarice. I shuffle five cards from my graveyard into the deck and draw one card."
"You only prolong the inevitable. I end my turn."
"I activate the quick-play spell Reload. I add all cards in my hand to my deck, shuffle, and then draw the same number I added to my deck. That's five new cards. Since I control no cards, I can special summon Black Feather - Gust the Backblast from my hand."
Blackwing - Gust the Backblast

Winged Beast/Effect

A humanoid black bird wearing armor also knelt on the field. It held a dagger in each hand.
"If I control a Black Feather monster, I can special summon Black Feather - Blast the Black Spear from my hand."
Blackwing - Bora the Spear
LV4
Dark
Winged Beast/Effect
1700/800
Another bird/human hybrid with feathers of black, orange, and yellow flew onto the field. Despite its name, it held what looked like a large black lance.

"I equip Gladius with Synchro Hero to increase its level by 1."

A tall figure in black armor unfurled its wings.
"Bora will attack your Golem. Death Spiral!"
The bird-man struck the Golem with its lance. The titanic machine collapsed into pieces.
PW: 4350
"Now my Armored Wing will attack you directly. Black Hurricane!"
The mighty Black Feather punched Percy in the chest.
PW: 1850
"I end my turn."
Despite his disadvantage, Percy looked unmoved.
"I set a card and end my turn."
"I summon Black Feather - Breeze the Zephyr."
Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr
LV3

Winged Beast/Tuner/Effect
1100/300
A small orange bird-like monster now landed on the field.
"I Tune Breeze and Gust for a Synchro summon...pitch-dark power, lodge in its great wings and stir up the divine winds! Synchro Summon! Gust fiercely, Black Feather - Arms Wing!"
Blackwing Armed Wing
LV6
Dark
Winged Beast/Synchro/Effect
2300/1000
This new monster looked similar to Armored Wing, but it had more feathers, and it held a long rifle with a bayonet on it.
"Armored Wing, direct attack!"
"I activate my trap, Antique Gear Reborn. Once per turn, if I control no monsters, I can target one Antique Gear monster in my graveyard and special summon it, and if I do, it gains 200 attack. I choose Antique Gear Reactor Dragon."
Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon
LV9
Earth
Machine/Effect
3000/3000
A huge steampunk dragon with massive wings, a long neck, and a long tail, now dominated the field.
AGRD: 3000/3000 - 3200/3000
The outstretched fist of Armored Wing collided with the body of the dragon. As it flew back, a small black shard was lodged in the dragon's body.
"Very clever, Percy, but my Armored Wing can't be destroyed by battle, and I take no battle damage. I end my turn."
"Very foolish, Ginny. I set two cards, and now I'll attack your Bora."
The Reactor Dragon gave its wings a great flap, and then the Black Feather monster was blown away.
GW: 3500
"I end my turn. Don't think I don't know what you're up to now."
"I know you know, and that's why I was extra prepared. I play Pot of Greed, and then I summon Black Feather - Hurricane the Tornado."
Blackwing - Hurricane the Tornado
LV1

Winged Beast/Tuner/Effect
0/0
A very muscular bird now appeared next to Ginny.
"Once per turn, I can target one Synchro monster on the field, and this monster's attack becomes that monster's current attack until the end of the turn. Armored Wing, share your power."
BF-HtT: 0/0 - 2500/0
"I activate the effect of Armored Wing: all monsters with a Wedge Counter have their attack and defense become 0 until the end of the turn."
AGRD: 3200/300-0/0
"I expected that."
"I'm sure, but I bet you weren't expecting this. Since I control exactly three Black Feather monsters, I can activate this trap from my hand: Delta Crow - Anti Reverse. This destroys all your face-down spells and traps."
Percy said nothing, but Ginny could tell he wasn't happy.
"Black Feather - Arms Wing, finish him off. Black Charge!"
The Black Feather raised its rifle and fired at the dragon, shattering its machinery. Gears rained down around Percy.
PW: 0
Harry immediately sprung up and started clapping. He was soon joined by everyone else.
"I told you she'd do well," Hermione said.
"I knew she was good, but not that good," Ron said.
"Taught her everything she knows," Fred said.
"Be fair, she taught us a thing or two," George added.
Percy looked ever so slightly humbled. He shook his sister's hand.
"You've learned a lot since we first started, Ginny. I think I can speak for all Weasley's in the vicinity when I say how proud we are."
Ginny pulled him in for a hug, and although he rolled his eyes, he returned it. Dumbledore stood up and held out his arms to silence the crowd. Everyone sat back down.
"That was absolutely brilliant," Harry said, mostly to himself.
"A big congratulations to Ms. Weasley on an excellent match! And a bombastic well done to every new student at Duel Academy. In particular, we express pride in those students who are advancing to the next dorm."
Harry, Ron, and Neville, exchanged glances with each other. Letters had come over the summer to explain that all three of them had been advanced into the Ra Yellow dorm. Fred and George starting wearing their uniforms as soon as they got the news of reaching Obelisk Blue.
"And now, the teachers shall momentarily convene outside for the next step in this new school year."
The group all had knowing looks on their faces. It could only be one thing. The teachers filed out for a few minutes.
