Hello everyone PaladinJS here.
You know, in the last episode I said that Tyler was 16 years old and when I was finishing this episode, I realized the mistake I've made and the moment you're reading this, I've changed the age written on the last episode. Just to clarify, Tyler has 20 and Julianna has 14.
Also, if you want to see the artwork of the Yu-Gi-Oh cards, you can just type the card in either Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia or the Yu-Gi-Oh Database.
Anyway. Let's go to the reviews, today we have one guest reviews and one from Randomwords247.
To you dear guest, thank you for your support, it is always good to receive great feedback from my readers.
And to my dear Random, it's good to know that you are watching the episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh. In the last episode, Tyler said that he wanted his classes to be open to everyone so yes the Winx will be part of Tyler's classes. In the anime, each duelist has 4000 LP but in my story I'm using the original rules of the game, so each player has 8000 LP. Thanks again for your support XD
Alright, time's up, let's do this, DISCLAIMER TIME!
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
After the amazing duel between Tyler and the Trix, Faragonda invites Tyler to teach Duel Monsters in Alfea. But when a mysterious man attacks Cloud Tower, Tyler sends his sister Julianna to duel the man and save the witches.
Episode 5 - Royal Straight Flush (Part 2)
Julianna: 6700
Thiago: 7600
The duel was only at the beginning and things were looking bad for Julianna. Although Thiago couldn't attack anymore, he still had a powerful monster on his field. Arcana Knight Joker. The knight looked at Julianna as she responded with a smile.
"A Queen, a King, a Jack and now a Joker" Julianna said "Oh boy, you do love playing cards don't you? What's next, an Ace?"
"You're already looking at my Ace" Thiago said "Arcana Knight Joker will destroy you. And once I'm done with you, I've going to make this witches paid for what they did" His last sentence came out full of hate. Tyler noticed that the eyes of the man were burning with rage, but they were also purple. Like he was being possessed.
"You know, something is bugging my mind" Tyler said "Why did this guy came to Cloud Tower and destroyed everything on his sight?"
"Now that you mention it, he say he wanted revenge" Tecna said "But revenge on what?"
"Or better yet, who" Tyler said "How's Miss Griffin?"
Flora and Stella were on the floor healing the wounds of Headmistress Griffin. "She's better now" Flora said "The wounds were nothing serious so she'll be fine"
Tyler kneeled to the level of Headmistress Griffin and looked at her with concern. She looked better but she wasn't one hundred percent so he was going easy on her. "Miss Griffin, my name is Tyler and I'm a friend of Miss Faragonda. I know that in the state that you are right now I should let you rest but before that I want to ask you something. What did this man wanted?"
"He said something about three of my students being involved in a incident and asked me if I knew something about it" Griffin said with a weak voice "But I didn't had any knowledge of any events involving my students"
"Well that's really interesting" Tyler said until he saw something though the corner of his right eye. He saw three young witches trying to sneaking their way out of the cafeteria. "And that even more interesting" Tyler thought to himself.
"Bloom, can you do me a favor?" Tyler said.
"What do you want?" Bloom said.
"Can you keep an eye on Julianna for a moment" Tyler said "I need to take care of something"
"Wait? Are you going to leave your sister on his own?" Bloom said surprised.
"She can defend herself, so I don't see the problem" Tyler smiled. He was about to leave but was stopped by Bloom grabbing his arm. The rest of the Winx looked at the argument and started to become worried.
"What do you think you're doing? Your childish attitude must be making your brain going nuts because you're being a complete idiot. What kind of brother would put his own sister in danger and abandon her like that..." Bloom said enraged.
"The kind of brother who trust his sister" Tyler said, cutting off Bloom "Don't question my decisions if you don't know the all facts. I wouldn't put my sister in danger if I knew she couldn't defend herself. You don't know how strong Julie really is. Trust me on this"
Bloom looked into his brown eyes and saw he was telling the truth. She noticed a mixture of confidence and concern for his sister, but his positive attitude completely hided that bad feeling. With that, she let go Tyler's arm. "Don't worry, it won't be for long. There's just a couple of things I need to verify" Tyler smiled and ran to the exit of the cafeteria.
Julianna saw his brother leave but instead of being sad, she became more confident. "Ty put me in this duel because he knows I can win. I have to prove him right"
"My turn. I draw" Julianna said "I'll start by destroy your Joker with the Spell, Raigeki. With this, I can destroy all monsters on the field"
"No, you don't" Thiago said "I use Arcana Knight Joker's Special Ability. When is targeted by a card effect, I can negate the effect by discarding the same kind of card. So I discard a Spell to negate your Raigeki"
"I knew it. That card has a trick up his sleeve. And what a trick" Julianna was evaluating her options and they weren't great "I summon Magician's Valkyria" (Level 4 / Light / Spellcaster / 1600 ATK / 1800 DEF) "And while she's on the field, you can only choose her as attack target. I set a card and end my turn"
"I draw. I equip my Arcana Knight Joker with Magnum Shield" Thiago said "With this shield, my Joker gains Attack Points equal to his original Defense. So he now has 6300 Attack Points. Now Arcana Knight Joker, attack with Royal Straight Flush" (Arcana Knight Joker / 6300 ATK / 2500 DEF)
"I activate my Trap, Pitch-Black Power Stone" Julianna said "When I activate this Trap, it gains three Spell Counters and with that I activate the effect of Defender. I can remove a Spell Counter from any card on my field so that my Valkyria can avoid destruction"
"But you still take damage" Arcana Knight Joker charged in direction of Magician's Valkyria and slash her in the chest. Julianna fell to his back and felt a pain running through her body as her Life Points depleted.
Julianna: 6700 - (6300 - 1600) 2000
Thiago: 7600
"Julianna" the Winx shouted at the same time. Bloom was about to run and help Julianna but she stopped in shock as she saw the little girl getting up to her feet and cleaned her clothes.
"This is what Tyler was talking about" Flora came closer to Bloom as she saw the whole scene "The will to fight of Julianna allows her to always stand up when she falls"
"It's what motivates her to keep on dueling" Bloom said "Even then her brother is not here. I guess I've been mistaken about them"
In the corridors on Cloud Tower, a group of three witches were trying to get as far as they could from the cafeteria. "Come on, we've got to leave before they realise that the fight it's our fault" One of witches said.
"Where do you think you're going?" Tyler appeared from outta nowhere (another reference XD). The witches almost screamed at the jumpscare.
"What do think you're doing? Scare us to death?" the first witch said.
"We're just trying to go as far as possible from the fight" the second witch said.
"Oh right, the duel" Tyler said smiling "Good thinking I got to admit, but I don't think it's going to work. You see, my sister is dueling against that guy and believe me, things are bad"
"What do you mean bad?" the first witch said.
"Well, I believe she's going to lose" Tyler said "And once he's done with my sister, let's just say that he's going on a little witch hunt"
"You're a despicable brother. Sacrificing his sister to save his own skin" the second witch said.
"Of course. First me, second me and third me. That's my philosophy" Tyler said "Plus, I don't want to be on that guy's bad side once he's finished. He can kill you with just his vision" Tyler noticed that the third witch was about to tell what they did. He could smell her fear from miles.
"No, I'm not going to died for something that I didn't do" the third witch finally cracked.
Tyler was laughing from inside. How could they fall for such lies "Wait, what are you talk about?"
"Shut up, we made a vow to keep it a secret" The first witch said.
"No, I'm done. I'm going to tell the truth" the third witch said.
"Then start by telling first to me" Tyler said.
"Draw" Julianna said "I switch my Valkyria into Defense Mode. Next I activate the effect of Pitch-Black Power Stone. I can transfer one of the Spell Counters from my Trap to one card on my field. I'll give one Spell counter to my Defender. I set a card face down and end my turn"
"Come on, I need that card" Julianna thought to herself.
"I draw" Thiago said "I'll start by activating my Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Power Stone. Without your Power Stone, you can't protect your monsters anymore. Arcana Knight Joker, attack Magician's Valkyria"
"I activate Defender's Special Ability" Julianna said "I remove a Spell Counter from him and my Valkyria is safe" Defender stood in front of Valkyria and protected her with his shield.
"It's your move" Thiago said.
"Let's go. Draw" Julianna said "I set one card and end my turn"
"Draw" Thiago said "Arcana Knight Joker, annihilate Valkyria"
"I activate my Trap, Spellbinding Circle" Julianna said "With this Trap, your monster can't attack and change is position"
"No you won't or did you forget my Joker's effect" Thiago said "By discarding a Trap Card I can negate your Circle's effect. Now Arcana Knight Joker, CHARGE!" Arcana Knight Joker run in direction of Valkyria but suddenly two cylinders appeared on each side of Valkyria and Arcana got sucked into one of the cylinders.
"Wait, what? Where did my Joker" Thiago said but then Arcana Knight Joker exited through the other cylinder and slash Thiago in the chest. Thiago fall to his knees, grabbing his chest in pain "W-What just happened?"
Julianna: 2000
Thiago: 7600 - 6400 = 1200
"A magician never reveal his tricks, but in this case I'll make an exception" Julianna said "When you activated Arcana's effect I activated Magic Cylinder. This Trap redirects your monster's attack to you and turns it into a direct attack" Thiago looked at Julianna in shock as she just tricked him "Your monster have the ability to negate effects but to can only use that ability once per turn so I just needed to give you a reason to use Arcana's effect. And you took the bait"
"I'm not going to let you win" Thiago said enraged "I set one card and end my turn"
"I bet she's going to try win the duel on her next turn" Thiago was speaking on his head "If she tries to attack my Joker I'll activate my Battleguard Howling. This Trap deals damage to her equal to the attack of her monster and sends it back to her hand. I've got the victory in my hand"
"I need to end this now" Julianna was speaking on his head "I don't know why he is attacking the witches but I have to stop him. And I know just the right card to do it"
"Ok, no more nice girl" Julianna said "Time to win this. DRAW" She looked at the card she draw and start smiling "Let me introduce you to my magic show. For my first trick, I start by activating Dark Magic Curtain" A big skeleton with a curtain replacing his legs appeared in front of Thiago. "With this curtain, I'll pay half of my Life Points to Special Summon a Spellcaster from my Deck. And he's not just any Spellcaster. Ladies and Gentlemen I give to you, the Master of Illusions, Dark Magician" (Level 7 / Dark / Spellcaster / 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF) From the curtain appeared a man with purple robes, purple hair and clear skin wielding a green rod in his right hand.
Julianna: 2000 / 2 = 1000
Thiago: 1200
"For my next trick, I'll use the Spell, Gift of the Martyr" Julianna said "By sacrificing Magician's Valkyria, my Dark Magician gains Attack Points equal to the attack of my Valkyria"
"Come on, attack me. Just do it" Thiago was speaking on his head.
"For my final trick I'll use the Spell, Dark Magic Attack" Julianna said "When my Dark Magician is on the field, all your Spell and Trap are immediately destroyed"
"What?" Thiago looked in shock as his face down card and Magnum Shield are destroyed "This can't be happening"
"It is. Now Dark Magician, attack and destroy Arcana Knight Joker. DARK MAGIC ATTACK" Julianna said. Dark Magician threw a dark energy ball from his rod, hitting Arcana Knight Joker and destroying him.
Julianna: 1000
Thiago: 1200 - (4100 - 3800) = 900
"No. This can't be happening" Thiago froze in shock, he had the victory on his hand. Everything he worked for, everything he did was for him. But now everything was being taken away, again. After what they did to him, he only wanted one thing.
Revenge.
He wanted revenge. He wanted them to pay. And he wasn't going to let his revenge go away that easily. Thiago created a magical rope with his hands and grabbed a nearby witch by her hands, pulling her to his side.
"I'm not going to go down that easily" Thiago said with a wicked smile.
"What do you think you're doing?" Julianna said "Are you such a big coward that you even need a hostage to win?"
"I'm just guaranteeing my victory" Thiago said how everyone was in shock with what was happening.
"Let her go, this doesn't have to end like this." Bloom wanted to do something, but the stakes were too high.
"If you try to attack me, I'll lose the duel, but this girl here will suffer the blow" Thiago said "If someone out of the duel tries to interfere then the witch will suffer too. There's only one way out. You will have to surrender the duel"
"Keep on dreaming, I will not surrender." Julianna said, "Why are you doing this?"
"Because of what happen to him" Everyone turned around in the direction of the voice and saw Tyler accompanied by three young witches "I know what happened to you"
"You know nothing" Thiago said enraged "You don't know what me and him have been through" Everyone watching the duel had a look of confusion. Who was "him"?
"I know what happened Thiago, they told me" Tyler said, trying to calm things around "For the last three months, your little brother was being bullied by this three witches" Everyone looked at Thiago, so this is what was all about. His brother.
"Your brother tried to hide that from you but you insisted so much that he end up telling you everything. So you promised him that you would take care of it because you are is older brother and you felt obligated to protect him" Tyler said "So the past week, you decided to go talk to the witches and tried to stop them. But things didn't go as planned. They started laughing, they humiliated you in front of everyone. They call you weak"
Thiago start crying at this statements. All he wanted was to protect his brother, show him why he was his hero. But he failed. If he couldn't stop three witches from bullying a little kid, them what could he do? They were right. He was weak. Since that day, he swore revenge on all the witches. They were an epidemy and he was going to stop them.
"I tried to protect him, but they humiliated me. They think they're untouchable, but I proved them wrong" Thiago said "Unlike you, I'm willing to do everything for my brother. But you, you're a coward. You send your own sister to fight me. A real brother doesn't put his own family in risk. You don't care about her"
"ENOUGH!" Julianna snapped, she was not going to let Thiago keep insulting her brother "You don't know the sacrifices he made for me. Ever since we lost lost our parents, Tyler had to man up and learn how to be responsible. He sacrificed his own blood, sweat and tears to take care of me"
"They lost their parents?" Flora said with a sad tone.
"I never knew that" Bloom said.
"For what I can see, the coward here isn't Tyler. The coward is you, Thiago" Julianna said "You're the one that's using a cheap tactic to win a duel. You're the one that is looking for revenge and hurting innocent people that didn't do anything to you. What would your brother say if he saw you like these?"
Thiago looked around in shock at what he had done. He destroyed Cloud Tower, injured witches and tried to cheat to win. What have he done? This isn't him. This is not the person that's willing to sacrifice everything for his family.
"This is not me" Thiago said letting go the witch. The purple in his eyes started fading and turning back to its original dark brown color. "I'm not a monster. I'm a good person. Please end this duel"
Julianna looked at Thiago with sad eyes "Defender, attack Thiago directly" Defender pulled out his dagger and stabbed Thiago in the belly.
Julianna: 1000
Thiago: 900 - 1600 = 0
Julianna Wins!
"What have I done? I never wanted this. All I wanted was to protect my little brother" Thiago fell to his knees, tears falling through his face. He then felt a hand on his right shoulder. He looked up and saw Julianna looking at him with sad eyes.
"Everyone makes mistakes" Julianna said "But what makes us better is how we learn from those mistakes and try not to do them again"
"You remind me a lot of him" Thiago said and hugged Julianna.
In an unknown room, two hooded figures were watching the duel through a magic mirror. "Your little "experience" got wrong" one of the figures said with a feminine voice.
"For what I wanted, it went perfectly" the other figure said with a masculine voice.
"I don't know why are you so obsessed with those two" the woman said "First, you spy on the Trix's duel and now you send this idiot to destroy Cloud Tower. What do you want from them?"
"I want them to join our cause..." the man said.
"Keep dreaming. The master will never allow those losers to be part of our cause" the woman said and leave the room.
The man keep looking at the mirror. An image of Tyler giving a high five to Julianna appeared on the mirror "Plus, I made a promise. That I would protect them"
FINALLY, it's over. This took too much time.
