Hello everyone PaladinJS here.
Ok, for today's Reviews Response I have a guest review and and one from my girl Randomwords247.
To the guest review, thank you for liking this story but don't get too much hopes in me uploading the episodes faster ok bro.
Oh dear Random, it's a pleasure to see you. If you want to see the anime before you read my story then I don't mind, has long as you get the basic knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh to understand the duels. And yes, Number 39: Utopia is from Tyler's mom. And no, the mysterious figure was not Tyler's mom (in a future chapter you will know who it is)
Ok let's go to disclaimers because you guys want to see the next episode.
I do not own Winx Club or any of the characters but I own the characters that don't belong to the Winx Club franchise.
Recap from the last episode
When Tyler was about to quit the duel, a mysterious voice gave him the hope he needed and with the help of Number 39: Utopia, Tyler defeated the Trix. But at one of the Alfea towers a mysterious figure watched the duel with much interest, especially in Tyler.
Episode 4 - Royal Straight Flush (Part 1)
Tyler arrived at Headmistress Faragonda's office alongside the Winx and Daphne. Faragonda was sitting in her office chair, looking at the woman in front of her.
"Winx. Daphne. I would like you to meet Tyler, a young boy training in Red Fountain to be a Specialist" Faragonda said.
"Pleasure to meet you" Bloom said "I'm Bloom, the Guardian Fairy of Domino"
"I'm Flora, the Guardian Fairy of Linphea"
"I'm Stella, the Guardian Fairy of Solaria"
"I'm Musa, the Guardian Fairy of Melody"
"I'm Tecna, the Guardian Fairy of Zenith"
"I'm Aisha, the Guardian Fairy of Andros"
"I'm Daphne, teacher of History of Magix in Alfea and the Nymph of Sirenix" Daphne said "Tell me something Tyler, aren't you the son of Sophia?"
"Yes I am" Tyler said "Why? Do you know her?"
"Yes, I was her best friend" Daphne said. The Winx looked confused about this person they were talking and Faragonda noticed.
"Sophia was a student in Alfea a couple years ago" Faragonda said "And she was from the same class as Daphne. They were best friends and the best students I had in a long time"
"He looks just like her" Daphne thought to herself.
"But enough about my mother" Tyler said "I bet Miss Faragonda didn't just call us to her office just for me to present to this ladies"
"You're right Tyler" Faragonda said "Well, I've noticed that you don't seem too happy in being in Red Fountain"
"W-What?" Tyler said a little off guard "Who gave you that idea? I'm fine don't worry"
"Tyler, you can hide your emotions from your sister but can't hide them from me" Faragonda said "I knew from the beginning you didn't want to go to Red Fountain"
"I only accepted to go because I wanted to become stronger so that I could protect my sister" Tyler said in a sad tone "But the more time I spend in Red Fountain, the more I realise that was not what I wanted. The only thing I want to do is dueling"
"I know" Faragonda said "Ever since what happen to your parents I noticed you were faking your emotions when you were in public. But during the duel between you and the Trix, I noticed you were genuinely smiling. You were in bad situation and you didn't stop smiling"
"What can I say?" Tyler said "I love dueling"
"Which is why I called you here" Everyone was confused to what Faragonda said "I've been considering in having Duel Monsters classes in Alfea. As you all saw, Duel Monsters can be a powerful and I want someone to show that to my students in Alfea. And that person should be you Tyler. I want you to be a teacher in Duel Monsters here in Alfea"
"Wait, what?" Tyler said "Are you serious Miss Faragonda?"
"Yes I'm serious" Faragonda said "And now that the Trix are using Duel Monsters as a weapon and our magic doesn't work against it, we need someone to teach our students how to duel. And I can't think of someone better qualified than you"
"She's right Tyler" Bloom said "You show great passion for Duel Monsters in your duel"
"And your skills were amazing" Tecna said "I would love to learn how to play this new game from someone as experienced as you"
"But I'm only 20. And what about Red Fountain?" Tyler said.
"Don't worry about Red Fountain. I'll talk with Saladin" Faragonda said
"And don't worry if you're too young. Just do what you love to do and nothing will matter" Flora said.
"The only thing missing is your answer" Faragonda said "What do you say Tyler?"
Tyler thought for a little until he gave his answer "I'm in. But only if the classes are open to everyone. I want everyone to learn how to duel"
"Alright then it's official" Faragonda said "You will start teaching as soon as possible. Daphne will also help you in classes if you don't mind"
"Do you know how to duel?" Tyler said turning to Daphne.
"Your mother taught me a couple of tricks" Daphne said.
"One day you have to show me what she taught you" Tyler said "Unless you want to duel now to see what you got"
"Just like his mother" Daphne said "Always going head first into the unknown" Everyone laugh in the office with that joke.
"TYLER!" Tyler jumped from the scream and knew she had done something bad.
"Damn it. I knew I had forgot something" Tyler said turning in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl with light blonde curly hair, blue eyes and clear skin. She was wearing a white sleeveless dress with a skirt that reaches her knees, light pink ballet shoes with black soles and a big pink bow-tie tied on the back her hip.
"H-Hello Julie, it's nice to see you" Tyler said with a little of fear.
"I've been waiting for you for two straight hours at the Magix park and you never shown up" Julianna said furious at Tyler "You said we were going to have a duel but instead you abandoned me and came Alfea flirting with the fairies"
"What? No" Tyler said quickly "I was leaving Red Fountain when I saw smoke coming from Alfea and when I arrived I saw three women attacking the fairies, so I challenge them to a duel and after I won Miss Faragonda called me to her office"
"I swear Tyler, the excuses to create are becoming more lamer they ever" Julianna said "Do you think I'm going to believe in what you just said?"
"Hey don't be mad at him sweetie" Flora said while trying to calm her down "What he's saying is the truth"
Julianna looked at Flora from top to bottom "And who is she? Your girlfriend?" Tyler's face became red of embarrassment after that statement from Julianna. He was more red then a tomato.
"Someone please shut her up" Tyler thought to himself.
Faragonda was laughing quietly at the discussion in front of her "This two never change"
"I think that's enough Julie" Faragonda said "I'm sorry if Tyler couldn't go to you, but he indeed save us from three witches that attacked Alfea. And to prove it, I think Tyler has something to show you"
Julianna turned to Tyler and he pulled a card from his back pocket. Tyler showed the card and Julianna looked in shock "That card. I-It's Utopia. That's..."
"... mom's card" Tyler finished her sentence. Julianna grabbed the card and looked at it. She start crying has the memories from her parents came to her head.
"How? How do you have this card? I've never seen you with it" Julianna said "I thought it was missing"
"Guess who gave it to me?" Tyler said. Julianna looked at Tyler with tears in her eyes. She run at Tyler and hugged him, crying in his belly.
"I'm sorry for being mad at you. You keep on sacrificing everything for me and I never said thank you" Julianna said.
"It's ok" Tyler said while he softly rubbed her head.
"Mom gave you the card, didn't she?" Julianna said. Tyler nodded with his head affirmatively "You will always be with us mother, no matter what "
"Miss Faragonda" Tyler said "As the new teacher of Duel Monsters in Alfea, I would like to have my sister has a secondary teacher in the classes" Julianna looked at Tyler, still crying a little bit.
"If your sister accepts then I let her teach alongside you" Faragonda said.
"Wait? You're going to teach Duel Monsters in Alfea. What about Red Fountain?" Julianna said.
"Don't worry about it. What matters is that we're going to do something that we love. So what do say?" Tyler said.
"Let's teach this people how to duel" Julianna said with a smile in her face. But their happiness was cut short because Faragonda received a hologram call coming from Cloud Tower.
"Faragonda can you hear me" a woman said in the hologram. She was tall and with a pale greenish white skin. She had purple hair that is pulled up into a shape similar to a pointy hats worn by fairytale witches, with two lighter purple strands on either side. She wears heavy makeup around her eyes and wears an ankle length dark purple dress with a high collar and dark purple shoes.
"Griffin it's me. What's going on?" Faragonda said.
"Faragonda, I need your help" the woman now identified as Griffin said "A man is attacking my students and we can't stop him. He's using some sort of device with cards and it's not being affected by our magic"
"A device with cards" Tyler said "Where did I hear that before?"
"Don't worry Griffin, I'll send the Winx to Cloud Tower immediately" Faragonda said "And a special guest that might help with this situation"
"Ok Faragonda. I'll try hold things from here until they arrived" Griffin said and turned off the hologram.
"Apparently the Trix are not the only ones trying to use Duel Monsters to create a little bit of chaos" Musa said.
"It looks like that. Tyler, you're going with the Winx to Cloud Tower help the witches" Faragonda said "After this, we need to start the Duel Monsters classes as soon as possible"
"Understood Miss Faragonda. Ladies, let's go" Tyler said.
"Let's go" Bloom said. The Winx walk in the direction of the door but they stopped at a small question made by Tyler.
"Julie, you're coming or not?" the Winx turned around and saw Julianna nodding her head and walking along side Tyler.
"Wait, you're going to let your sister come with us and put her in danger" Aisha said.
"Well, she's a skilled duelist and if I didn't let her come she would bang my head until I let her come" Tyler said "Now let's get this show on the road"
In Cloud Tower, a man was causing havoc through the corridors of the school. The witches were running in panic, screaming in fear and trying to hide in every possible hideout. The man keep on walking, trying to find someone or something, until he saw a group of witches trying to close a huge door. They were trying to hide in the school's cafeteria.
"Come on ladies, we've got to buy some time until the Winx come to our aid" Headmistress Griffin said.
The man seeing this obstacle, placed a card in a device locked in his left wrist and created a fireball into his right hand and threw it against the doors. The impact exploded the doors and the witches in the room fell to the ground. The man walked slowly in the cafeteria and immediately spotted Headmistress Griffin trying to get to her feet. The man came closer and grabbed her by the collar of her dress. She was grinding her teeth as the pain start filling her body.
"I'm looking for three witches who were involved in a little 'incident'. Could you please tell me where they are?" The man asked with a calm and determined voice.
"If you think that I'm going to snitch my students, then you are very mistaken" Griffin said. Although she was injured, she was trying to be strong for the sake of her students.
"Well, don't tell me that I didn't ask nicely" he then picked up Griffin and smashed her hard against the cafeteria wall. Griffin let go a scream of pain making her almost faint. "WHERE ARE THEY?" the man screamed. (see the reference that I made XD)
"Whoah. I know the witches like wrecked places but this is more messy than my room" a voice said behind the man. He turned his head and saw the Winx along side Tyler and his sister.
"If you are here trying to stop me then I suggest you all to turn around and leave" the man said.
"Sorry, but I'm afraid we can't do that" Tyler said "I know that witches are a real pain in the butt but come here and destroy everything you see it's a little overreacting"
The man let go Griffin and looked directly at Tyler but then he noticed the Duel Disk in Tyler's wrist. "So, you're a duelist? What, your going to try and stop me? There's no chance I'm going to let my opportunity of revenge get away that easily. If you want to stop me you're going to have to duel me"
"You're on" Tyler start walking in the direction of the man but then he stopped and a thought came to his mind "On a second thought, Julianna do you want to duel this guy?"
"What?" the Winx said at the same time.
"Are you crazy? You're going to put your sister in danger like that?" Stella said but neither Tyler or Julianna listen to them as she was going to get ready to her duel.
"Don't tell me you're so scared that you even throw your own sister to the wolves" the man said.
Tyler came closer to her little sister and kissed her in the forehead "Don't go easy on this guy ok?" and he walk back to the Winx.
"Why did you make her duel against that man?" Flora said as she was worried about Julianna.
"Because I know she can win" Tyler said as he let go a little smile "Besides, I owe her a duel"
"So, are you ready to lose?" Julianna said.
"I don't lose to such a child like you" the man said.
Let's duel
Julianna: 8000
Thiago: 8000
"I'll go first" Thiago said "Draw. I summon Queen's Knight in Attack Mode" (Level 4 / Light / Warrior / 1500 ATK / 1600 DEF) "And set two cards face down. Your move"
"Then it's my turn" Julianna said "Draw. I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior to the field" (Level 4 / Dark / Spellcaster / 1600 ATK / 1000 DEF) "When he's normal summon, his Special Ability gives him one Spell Counter and for each one he receives a 300 Attack Points boost" (Breaker the Magical Warrior / 1900 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"Now Breaker, attack Queen's Knight" Thiago looked while Breaker slashed Queen's Knight in the chest.
Julianna: 8000
Thiago: 8000 - (1900 - 1500) = 7600
"Now I use Breaker's other effect. By sacrificing his Spell Counter, I can destroy one of your Spell or Trap Cards on the field so I choose the one in the left. Go Breaker, destroy his face down card" Breaker slashed the face down card but Thiago's expression didn't change. "Man, you don't flinch for a minute, do you? I set a face down card and end my turn"
"I draw" Thiago said "I activate my Trap, Birthright. With Birthright, I can summon in Attack Position one Normal Monster from my graveyard, and I bring back my Queen's Knight. Next, I summon King's Knight" (Level 4 / Light / Warrior / 1600 ATK / 1400 DEF) "With his effect, when Queen's Knight is on my side of the field I can Special Summon Jack's Knight from my deck. So come forth, Jack's Knight" (Level 5 / Light / Warrior / 1900 ATK / 1000 DEF) The three knights hit their swords in front of Julianna in sign of union "Now Jack's Knight, attack Breaker the Magical Warrior" Jack's Knight pierced his sword through the chest of Breaker.
Julianna: 8000 - (1900 - 1600) = 7700
Thiago: 7600
"I activate my Trap Card, Soul Rope" Julianna said "By paying 1000 Life Points, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or below monster from my deck and I choose Defender the Magical Knight in Defense Mode" (Level 4 / Light / Spellcaster / 1600 ATK / 2000 DEF) "Now try get pass my Defender"
Julianna: 7700 - 1000 = 6700
Thiago: 7600
"I'm not done yet" Thiago said "I activate my Polymerization to fuse my three knights and Fusion Summon, Arcana Knight Joker" (Level 9 / Light / Warrior / 3800 ATK / 2500 DEF)
"This battle is just getting started. And it's going to end with your defeat"
Finally finished this episode. Man, writing consumes too much time. (I have to stop hearing the Roundabout from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Ok I know Julianna looks the kind of sister that is a bad person to her elder brother because she wants, but as the story progresses you will see a different side of her. In the beginning, I wanted to make Julianna's personality be like an innocent girl and try to avoid violence but I thought it would be better if she show a more responsible side. She is a sweet person but at the same time she has short temper.
If you like the story please keep on following for the next episode, favorite and don't be afraid to review, I'm always open for suggestions (good or bad).
See you in the next episode XD
