Hello everyone PaladinJS here.
So, I was supposed to publish this episode in June but the reason I didn't do it was because I've been improving my writing on the previous episodes and I also doing to start posting my stories on Wattpad. And no, I'm not going to stop writing on FanFiction. What I'm going to do is post all the previous episodes on Wattpad and all the new episodes on both FanFiction and Wattpad.
Also, this story made one year in June. Back then I though that at least the first part of the arc would be finished one year later. What a clueless human being I am.
Anyway, let's a go to the reviews. Today we have a guest review, one from MaxGundam1998 and one from Envoy of Torrask.
To the guest review, I can confirm that those decks will appear in my story although with Yusei's deck I'm going to use the Synchro deck.
To dear MaxGundam1998, yeah I know Marie is a b #$?. I already decided and I'm going to do longer chapters but they take a little time to write. Thanks for the support bro.
To the Envoy of Torrask, I know you have to wait so long for the chapters but I have studies, side projects and a lot of stuff to do so I can't do much about it. One of the main problems that I had last year when I was developing this story was what deck will the Winx use. The only decks I was certain was Tecna and Aisha, the other girls I was a little unsure because there wasn't an archetype that would fit into their personalities. Even with Roxy I had some troubles. But now everything is resolved so no problems. And Zodiacs are forbidden in this universe. They will only appear to receive a whopping. Thank you very much for the support.
Without any further ado, 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
Marie kidnapped Roxy in order to get some attention from Tyler. After a hard fought duel, Tyler defeated Marie and saved Roxy but in the moment he was going to offer some help to Marie, she refused and ran away from our hero.
Episode 8 - Awakening of the White Dragon
In an unknown area, a man is in a library reading a book. The man is wearing a black robe and is face is hidden by a black hood. The book had a black cover with a golden outline and red symbols written in its pages. The man was studying the book when suddenly a figure enter the library "I told you to not interrupt me when I'm studying"
"Your plan failed. Again" the figure said with a feminine voice.
"On the contrary. She did exactly what I wanted. Defeating Tyler was just a bonus. But I already knew that was not going to happen" The man said while reading the book.
"Explain that to the master. For him a loss is a loss. And you are running out of opportunities" The woman said.
"The master doesn't understand that in order to achieve a supreme victory, you have to lose sometimes. The road to success is not a straight line, is a road full of obstacles. I learned that from a friend a long time ago" The man said. The woman looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Just try not to get yourself into trouble ok? And please, try not to piss off the master even more" The woman said.
"I can't make promises that I can't fulfill" The man said.
The woman was mad at that answer and stormed out of the library but before she left, she let go a small whisper "Why do you have to be like this, Eros?"
The man now known as Eros continue is studies but when the woman left the library, he took a picture from his pocket and stared at it. The picture had a woman with blond hair and brown eyes hugging two men, one had a Specialist uniform, short dark silver hair and black eyes and the other had medium dark brown hair and blue eyes and was wielding a duel disk in his left arm "I wish things could return to what they used to be"
"Throughout this lessons you will learn new summoning methods that although they are executed in different ways, they follow the same principle. Combine the power of two or more monsters to create one more powerful. Today I'm going to teach you how to use the summoning method that was the originator of this principle. Fusion Summoning" Tyler was currently in his classroom giving a lecture about Fusion Summoning. "Fusion Summon is just like the name says. It's a fusion. A fusion of two monsters that merge together to create a new entity. But just like any fusion, you can't create something without the right materials. You can't expect to make lemonade with oranges and bananas. Every Fusion Monster needs the right monsters to be combined. But they will also need something to combine the power of those monsters. Something that will mix them together. And that comes in the form of this card" A hologram of a card appeared in front of the class. The card was a Spell Card and it shown a spiral portal with three different tones of blue and two orange creatures being warped into the portal.
"The card you see in front of you is called Polymerization, and this card will allow you to Fusion Summon. Of course there are more cards that will let you Fusion Summon but this card is the most basic one. Without this in your deck, you shouldn't even think of the idea of fuse something. Now, does anyone have a question? Yes, you in the front" A boy in the front row rose up from is chair.
"Is there a limit of how many monsters can we Fusion Summon to the field?"
"No, there isn't. You can Fusion Summon as many monsters as you want. Well, at least if you can. Yes, Musa?"
"Is there any other ways to perform a Fusion Summon?"
"There are a couple of ways to do it. You can use a monster with the ability to Fusion Summon or you can use something called Contact Fusion to Fusion Summon without using Polymerization. But that's too complicated for you to learn right now. Maybe one day I'll teach you. Yes, you in middle?"
"Do we need all the required cards to Fusion Summon?"
"Yes, but fortunately there are cards known as Fusion Substitutes that can replace a Fusion Material in a Fusion Summon. But you can only use one Fusion Substitute per Fusion Summon. Yes, you in the back"
"Are we force to Fusion Summon in a duel?"
"As if" a boy in the back roundly interrupted "Fusion Summon is too much complicated and unnecessary"
"Fusion Summon is very important for you to know because not all monsters in Duel Monsters are powerful. Should we underestimate weak monsters? Of course not. Even the weakest of monsters has it's own strength. But sometimes, by combining the power of two monsters you can create something really power. But let me ask you this. If by fusing two weak monsters we create a powerful one, what would happen if we combine two or more powerful monsters? I'll let that question in the air until our next lesson. You're all dismissed" Tyler ended is lesson and everyone in the classroom start leaving.
"Another class done and another job well done. Man, I'm definitely loving this job. But still …" Tyler's head was filled with the memory of what happened three days ago. The day that Marie kidnapped Roxy. Although Tyler won the duel and saved Roxy, he also lost a student.
"I don't need your sympathy"
Those here her last words that were filling his mind every time he thought about it. That was the last time everyone saw Marie in Alfea. There were even rumors that she left Alfea after that day. But one thing was for sure. No one knew about what happened to Marie and what happened in that day. Not even Miss Faragonda. Tyler was now walking throughout the corridors of Alfea with is head drifting and no route whatsoever. But his thoughts were interrupted when he saw an orange head girl walking in front of him. "Hey Bloom"
Bloom look behind her and saw Tyler waving at her "Hey Tyler, what's going on?"
"Not much, I was just walking around, thinking about some things, the usual. So what are you doing?" Tyler said.
"I was going to my room and go see the Winx. Want to join me?" Bloom said.
"Sure, why not? I didn't had anything to do so I'll make you girls some company" Tyler start walking alongside Bloom. "So, how are you going with the lessons?"
"It's going well. I already knew the basics of Duel Monsters and now with you teaching us the more advanced rules, I know even more about the game. It's just a shame that I can't learn Duel Monsters alongside my boyfriend" Bloom was thinking about her boyfriend. She missed him so much but because of his duties they couldn't see each other very often.
"Wait, you didn't invited Sky to come to the lessons?" Tyler said.
"I did invite him but because of his duties as the king of Eraklyon, he can't travel to Alfea and learn how to play. But I have been teaching him. And to my surprise, he actually likes Duel Monsters. He says it's a game that requires a lot of strategy and at the same time it's a lot of fun. So I guess nothing's lost" Bloom was still sad but now she was a lot better.
"Well, I invited some of the Specialists to come but some of them laughed in my face. I guess we are in a bit of a problem. But what can I say. Gorillas only like to fight with their fists" Bloom laugh at that joke. Tyler knew it would help her to forget the pain.
"That is actually quite right. I like how you are always on the positive with everything. I guess I owe you an apology for what I said in Cloud Tower" Bloom said.
"I beg your pardon?" Tyler was confused at what Bloom just said.
"When you told your sister to face Thiago, I thought you didn't care about what could happen to her. But the bond of trust between you two was too strong and I couldn't see it. You knew your sister could win and you let her duel. I was an idiot and wasn't seeing that in front of me" Bloom said with her head down. She was embarrassed at what she did in Cloud Tower.
"I don't see why you need to apologise. You didn't do anything wrong" Tyler looked at Bloom.
"But I …"
"But nothing. Like I said, you didn't do anything wrong" Bloom looked at Tyler "Many people get confused at my relationship with Julianna. The only thing I want is for her to not have to deal with the same things I had to deal. When our parents left us, I had to learn how to be responsible and to take care of me and my sister. If I get myself in Julianna's way and don't let her learn from her mistakes, she will become dependable of me and won't learn how to do things in her way" Tyler was clearly sad at what happened to his parents but he learned how to deal with the pain. He doesn't want anyone to suffer the same as he did.
"You are definitely a good brother, Tyler. I'm sure Julianna knows that. But now that you mention it, you never told me what happened to your parents …" Bloom suddenly shut up after realizing what she said. Maybe Tyler wouldn't want to talk about it. But what Tyler said next surprised her.
"Well you never ask me about it. I don't mind talking about the past. It all happened when I was six years old …" Tyler was about to start telling his story but was interrupted by his cellphone (talk about a cliffhanger XD)
"Yes? Oh, hi Tecna. Is it ready? Cool! I'm with Bloom right now and we'll be heading there now. See ya" Tyler hung up the call and looked at Bloom who seemed to be confused with the conversation. "That was Tecna. She was in her room and said that the Duel Disk prototypes are ready. Sorry if I had to interrupt the story"
"No no no. That's not a problem" Bloom said "Plus, you might don't want to talk about it. That's your personal life and I shouldn't being messing with it"
"Hey, it's no big deal. Tell you what, one day I'll buy you an ice cream and tell everything you need to know. Deal?" Tyler extended his hand to Bloom.
"Deal" Bloom shook his hand and start walking alongside him. But little did they knew that a boy was watching them behind a corner.
"Bloom, princess of Domino. You think you are so special? If it wasn't for the Dragon Flame you would be nothing. Everything you have was only given to you because of your royal blood. I hate you so much"
"Your hatred for princess Bloom is absolutely fascinating" A voice in his head start speaking.
"Who's there?" The boy start looking around him, searching for the source of the voice.
"A concerned citizen. And don't bother looking around, I'm contacting you telepathically. As for who I am, you don't need to know who I am but you can call me Eros. And I am here to help you achieve your main desire. You want to get revenge for what happened to your parents don't you, Alistair" Eros said.
"How did you … you're in my head so you know what happened" Alistair said.
"Yes, and I have to admit it was really tragic what happened to them. But how could a person like Bloom had a second chance in life of meeting her parents again and you that worked so hard to help the other don't receive even a thank you. It is really a shame" Eros said.
"How is it possible that I work so hard and never asked for anything don't get the respect that I deserved and that little princess doesn't do a damn thing in her life and she gets all the pride, all the fame and all the fortune. I'm sick of it. I hate her. I hate her. I HATE HER!" Alistair said enraged.
"Yes, it's true. But with my help you will finally get what you deserve. So what do you say?" Eros said.
"We have a deal, master" Alistair said as his eyes start turning purple.
Tyler and Bloom arrived at the Winx's room. When they arrived, they saw Tecna with two devices in her hands "Dormammu, I've come to bourgain"
"Wait, what?" Both Bloom and Tecna looked at Tyler completely confused.
"Sorry. I saw that on a movie. So, what do you got for us Tec" Tyler said.
"Our hard work has finally paid off. Here, take a look" Tecna handed to Tyler a small tablet with white borders (Basically the Duel Disk from Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V) "After studying the mechanics of your Duel Disk and the rules of Duel Monsters, we've been trying to develop a more versatile and portable Duel Disk. Tyler has been showing me images of Duel Disks made by KaibaCorp and they were too big to contain holographic technology so we decided to compact it. Also we've developing a better algorithm to give more realism in the holograms"
"It's so small. I can't believe you pack all that technology into a simple tablet" Tyler was surprised at what was in his hands. On Earth they would need years of evolution to develop this technology but Tecna did it in one month. Impressive.
"That's Tecna. She never fails when it comes to technology" Bloom said.
"While I'm flattered for your compliments, this Duel Disks are still prototypes. There are still a couple of bugs that I need to fix and the reading system can't read cards from the Extra Deck except Fusion Monsters. So you can't use this Duel Disks for now Tyler" Tecna said
"Don't worry. I'll keep using my Blade Disk. I'm an old school guy. So, what about the cards?" Tyler said.
"I have a friend who owe me a favor so I ask him to try recreate the cards. I already tested to see if the Duel Disk can read the cards and it's working perfectly. Here's the first result" Tecna give Tyler a card with a green pot drawn in it.
"Pot of Greed. How much I miss this card. It seems really well done" Tyler said.
"The material of the cards is made of recycled materials and resistant to every type of damage" Tecna folded the card a couple of times and shown that didn't had any damage. "The only downside is that they take a lot of time to fabricate. I asked my friend to print some standard cards so that your students can at least train with something"
"Man, if you keep yourself one step ahead of me, you will soon get my job" Tecna giggle at Tyler's joke "Tecna I have to thank you for the amazing help you're giving me. With your help, the guys will be able to learn much better how to play Duel Monsters. Maybe you should think on yourself a little bit and ask your friend for the cards you want for your deck"
Tecna looked at Tyler and thought in the words he just said. Ever since it was announced that they were start teaching Duel Monsters in Alfea, Tecna was a little skeptical about a card game being used to battles but she later find out that Duel Monsters is more than a card game. "Thank you Tyler. I will"
"And what about you Bloom? Do you already have your deck?" Tyler said.
"Sort of. I told my mom to send my deck from Earth but she forgot to send my Extra Deck which makes some of the strategies a little incomplete. But it's still playable" Bloom said.
"I'm sure you'll be ok for the moment. Wait, you said Earth? I thought you're parents were the rulers of Domino"
"Long story. Tell you what, one day I'll buy you an ice cream and tell everything you need to know. Deal?" Bloom said.
"Deal" Tyler said smiling "Well I guess it's becoming late and I should be going back to my room. Byeee"
"Bye" Bloom and Tecna said, waving their hands.
Night soon fall in the sky of Magix. The moonlight radiated thought the rooftop of Alfea and everyone was currently sleeping in the school of fairies. Bloom was also in her bed sleeping like the beautiful angel she was. But them something interesting happen.
Bloom's deck start glowing a bright yellow light. And that seemed to somehow start affecting Bloom.
Bloom was waking up from her sleep and felt that something was not right. She was surprised to see that she was lying on a rocky floor and in her Butterflix form. But what surprised her more was where she was. A place that she didn't visit in a long time.
Pyros. The Island of Dragons. A land filled with wild rainforests, volcanoes, and dragons. The realm where she trained and unlocked her Enchantix form but most importantly, she found her inner dragon. Buddy. She will never forget the little green dragon that helped her in Pyros.
Bloom start questioning how and why she was on Pyros. She doesn't remember to do any travelling or that she was supposed to be there. But her thoughts were interrupted by a huge roar in the sky and a big shadow covering the ground. She looked up and shivers start running in her spine at what she was seeing. A dragon flying in the sky. But not just any dragon. A huge dragon with white scales, big white wings and dark blue eyes.
The dragon noticed Bloom's presence at let out a huge roar making the land between Bloom's feet start shaking. Bloom tried to keep herself on her feet as she looks in fear at the creature in front of her. This was no ordinary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. With only is presence and is cold look he could strike fear in even the most courageous of warriors.
Bloom tried to fly to the dragon but the dragon open is mouth and shot a white lightning in direction to her. She ducked out of the way and fell to the ground just in the nick of time as fear start running throughout her body. She looked behind her and saw the destruction caused by the power of the dragon. Everything behind her was completely vaporized. This was what happened every time he felt threatened. Bloom looked at the dragon as he landed on the floor and kept giving her a cold stare. Her heart was beating really fast and she was asking if even the power of the Dragon's Flame could help her in this moment.
"Calm down, I don't want to hurt you" Bloom stood up on her feet and start taking small steps towards the dragon. The dragon allow Bloom to come closer to him but kept is cold stare on her. He could feel something special on the fairy. Her aura was bright like a flame. A Dragon's Flame.
Bloom was now in front of the dragon. She rosed her hand and tried touch the dragon's face but the dragon moved his head and let a small growl. "Easy" The dragon looked at Bloom and moved his head back to its previous position. Bloom touched the dragon's face and start rubbing her soft hand on his head. The dragon calmed down and touch with his head on Bloom's chest. Suddenly, the dragon start glowing and transformed into a small ball of light. The ball then flyed to Bloom's chest and penetrated in her heart. Bloom touched her chest and start feeling a presence inside of her body.
"It appears that he made a new friend"
Bloom looked behind her and saw a woman with pale skin, white waist-length hair with tons of baby blue and bright blue eyes. "You don't need to worry, Bloom. My name is Kisara. And that dragon you just saw used to be my inner dragon. He is a very kind dragon, but he has a lot of trouble at trusting in people. Back when we were together, people tried capture me to get his power. They wanted to control him and use him to cause destruction. But then a man came to my rescue and almost sacrificed his life to protect me. He cared deeply for me. The person I loved, Seto. But unfortunately, his sacrifices weren't enough and my aura faded away"
Bloom listen to those words and she wanted to cry. The suffering that Kisara had to endure was completely horrible "But before I left, I gave my inner dragon to him. Since then he used the dragon to stop everyone who threaten the peace in the world. Now it is your turn to take that task. Bloom, I know how much you sacrificed to protect the Magical Dimension and now and new threat has come you once again cause havoc. So I ask you to protect the Magical Dimension one more time"
"It is my duty as the keeper of the Dragon's Flame. I'll do it" Bloom said.
"Good. But I don't want you to do it alone. You're going to have the help of my inner dragon. Use its power well. Please, save the Magical Dimension" Kisara start glowing a bright light. Bloom closed her eyes at the intensity of the light as everything around her engulf in the light.
Bloom open her eyes and saw that she was in her bed still in her pajamas. She looked around and saw that everyone was asleep. "Was that a dream? But it felt so real" She return back to sleep but then the glowing light that her deck was radiating start fading away.
Bloom was walking through the corridors still a little sleepy from last night. She was still bothered about the dream she had. It seemed too real to be a dream. And that dragon she saw. It looked so scary.
Tyler was talking to Roxy in his classroom when suddenly he saw the fairy of the Dragon Flame enter in the room looking pretty bad. She had dark bags under her eyes and her hair was a little messy. "Bloom?" Tyler called for the fairy but she didn't answer, she just kept walking to her sit.
"What happened to her?" Roxy looked at Bloom in shock.
"She looks like a zombie. Let's see what's going on" Tyler came closer to Bloom. Bloom was in her sit with her head on the top of the table. "Hey Bloom, what's up?"
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
"Wait? Is she sleeping?" Roxy was looking at Bloom and was trying not to laugh while would go wake up Bloom.
"Bloom?" Tyler shook Bloom a little to try wake her up.
"W-Wha? What's going on?" Bloom woke up and looked up to see Tyler and Roxy looking at her "What did I do?"
"You came to my classroom and decided to take a nap. What happen to you?" Tyler said.
"I just add a really weird dream last night. And I couldn't sleep for the rest of night ..." Bloom was about to fell asleep again but Tyler clapped his hands in front of her face.
"You should go to your room and try get some sleep. In the end of the lesson we'll go there and you fill us with the details of your dream" Tyler said.
"No, I'm going to stay here. I'm not going to miss your classes" Bloom said a little loopy.
"Well, if you say so. Roxy, sit next to her and keep an eye on her ok" Tyler said to the fairy of the animals as she nodded with her head. "Alright, time to start teaching"
Tyler walk to the front of the classroom and called for everyone's attention. "Let's go, everyone to their seats. I know you are all tired of me being here talking about Duel Monsters and you being in your seats doing nothing. So for today, I've decided that it's time for you to drop the book and have a little bit of practice in Duel Monsters. And for that you'll be using this devices" Tyler walked to his secretary and grabbed a pair of Duel Disks. "This devices are called Duel Disks and they are used to play Duel Monsters. Me and Tecna have been developing this devices so that you could also play the game with me. Now I'm going to choose two persons to come here and have an exhibition duel. Unfortunately we still don't have cards for you to use. But, me and my sister decided to let you borrow our decks for today's lesson. Now who wants to be the first one"
Everyone in the classroom raised their hands in the air. "Uhhhhhhh … you there. Alistair? Do you want to give it a try?"
Alistair stood up from his chair and start walking to the front of the classroom. "So here's the Duel Disk. Now, for what deck will you use?"
"Actually, I have my own deck right here" Alistair opened a small purse locked to his belt and took of a deck of cards.
"Oh. Wait, where did get those cards?" Tyler looked surprised at Alistair.
"My father gave it to me when he was on Earth" Alistair said.
"Well, that was kinda unexpected. But why not? I'll let you use it. Now for your opponent. Violet, do you want participate?" Tyler said.
"Actually, I would like to face her" Alistair said pointing to Bloom. Bloom was trying to keep herself woken up and it was being more harder than she thought.
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow that today ... " Tyler said but was then interrupted by Bloom.
"I'll do it"
"Uh, can you give me a moment" Tyler came running at Bloom "Bloom are you sure you want to do this? You're in no condition to duel"
"I feel better now. Don't worry" Bloom stood up from her chair and start walking to the front of the room. She grabbed the Duel Disk, locked it on her wrist and put her deck inside of the device.
"Pride can be a bad thing sometimes" Tyler said.
"Look who's talking" Roxy said behind Tyler.
"You look like my sister talking" Tyler said. "Alright, are you two ready?
"Ready" The two duelists said.
"Then on 3. 1 … 2 … 3!" Tyler said.
Let's duel!
Alistair: 8000
Bloom: 8000
"I'll go first. Draw. I set a monster face down and end my turn" Alistair said.
"Where did I see that play before?" Tyler said.
"What do you mean?" Roxy looked confused at Tyler.
"Marie made the exact same thing with me in our duel" Tyler said "Playing something face down means one of three things. The archetype of the deck depends of playing face down, he was to surprise his opponent in the first turn or his hand was so bad that he was forced to play on defense in the first turn. Let's see what Bloom will do"
"My turn. Draw. I start by changing the scenario with the Field Spell, Dragon Ravine" Suddenly the room start shaking. The room start turning into a rocky field and a big crater formed between the two duelists.
"Wow. What just happened?" Roxy looked around and saw she was no more in the classroom. She was now on top of a ravine. Roxy touched the floor and saw that it looked like real dirt.
"Field Spell. With this, Bloom can gain the advantage of being able to change the entire state of play" Tyler said.
"With my Dragon Ravine I can discard a card from my hand to either add a Level 4 or lower Dragunity monster from my deck to my hand or send a Dragon type monster from my deck to my graveyard. So I'll use it's effect to discard my Dragunity Brandistock to add Dragunity Dux to my hand. Now I'll Normal Summon Dragunity Dux in Attack Mode" (Level 4 / Wind / Winged Beast / 1500 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"When he is Normal Summoned, I can equip him with a Level 3 or lower Dragon type Dragunity monster from my graveyard. And the only one in my graveyard is Brandistock so I'll equip him to Dux" (Level 3 / Wind / Dragon / Tuner / 1500 ATK / 1000 DEF) Brandistock came flying, landed next to Dux and turned into an actual brandistock. Dux grabbed the brandistock and pointed it to Alistair.
"Dragunity Dux gains 200 Attack Points for each Dragunity card I control. And since I control two Dragunity monsters, he gains 400 Attack Points" (Dragunity Dux / 1900 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"For someone who passed a night in blank, she's playing very well" Roxy said.
"She might be fatigued from last night but the adrenaline of the game it's keeping her awaked. Although in the end of the duel, she's going to be so tired" Tyler said.
"And one more thing. When Dragunity Brandistock is equipped to a monster, that monster attacks twice during each Battle Phase. Dragunity Dux, time for a double attack. Attack his face down card and attack him directly" Dux came flying and pierced his brandistock through the face down card revealing a white skeleton wearing a purple cloth in his body. (Level 1 / Dark / Zombie / 300 ATK / 200 DEF) Dux then ran at Alistair and pierced his brandistock into Alistair's chest.
Bloom: 8000
Alistair: 8000 - 1900 = 6100
"I end my turn" Bloom said.
"My move. I draw. I set another monster face down and a card face down" Alistair said. "Things are going exactly as I planned. She thinks"
"My go. Draw" Bloom said "I'll use the effect of Dragon Ravine to discard my Dragunity Phalanx to add Dragunity Legionnaire to my hand. Next, I'll Normal Summon my Dragunity Legionnaire in Attack Mode" (Level 4 / Wind / Winged Beast / 1200 ATK / 800 DEF)
"And just like Dux, Legionnaire can equip himself with a Level 3 or lower Dragon type Dragunity monster from my graveyard when he's Normal Summoned. So I'll equip him with my Dragunity Phalanx" (Level 2 / Wind / Dragon / Tuner / 500 ATK / 1100 DEF)
"But he's not going to be equipped for long because I'll use it's Special Ability. When Phalanx is equipped to a monster by a card effect, I can Special Summon him to field. And let's not forget that I have two more Dragunity on the field so Dux's power increases once again" (Dragunity Dux / 2300 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"Now it's time to battle. Dragunity Dux, attack his face down card" Dux pierced his brandistock through the face down card revealing again a white skeleton wearing a purple cloth in his body. "Now Dux, Phalanx and Legionnaire. Triple Flying Direct Attack"
Bloom: 8000
Alistair: 6100 - (2300 + 1200 + 500) = 2100
"I end my turn" Bloom said.
Tyler was looking at the duel and felt that something was not right. This duel was going too easy for Bloom. What does Alistair have planned?
"Everything is according to planned" Alistair though "Draw"
Alistair drew his card and start smiling. Tyler looked at the boy and knew that something big was about to happen "I activate my face down card, Needlebug Nest. This card makes drop the top five cards of my deck to the graveyard"
"Why is he doing that? Dropping cards like that. It's like he's going it on purpose" Bloom then looked in shock as she realized Alistair's plan "What if that's his plan all along?"
"By the look of your face, you just realized what's about to happen. I now summon the King of the Skull Servants!" In the front of Alistair appeared a skeleton similar to the ones that he summoned but this one was bigger and radiated a purple aura. (Level 1 / Dark / Zombie / ? ATK / 0 DEF)
"I have to thank you Bloom. When you destroyed my Skull Servants you increased my King's strength because it's original Attack Points are equal to the number of Skull Servants in my graveyard multiplied by 1000"
"And since I destroyed two Skull Servants, it's Attack Points are 2000" Bloom said.
"Incorrect" Bloom looked in shock as five ghosts appeared behind the King of the Skull Servants. "Because I discarded five cards due to Needlebug Nest, three of those monsters became Skull Servants when they touched the graveyard. Giving my King the total power of 5000 ATTACK POINTS!" (King of the Skull Servants / 5000 ATK / 0 DEF)
"Oh no. I fell for is trap" Bloom said.
"And now it's time for you to suffer. King of the Skull Servants, attack Dragunity Dux" King send a purple energy ball and immediately destroyed Dux. "I set one card and end my turn"
Bloom: 8000 - (5000 - 2300) = 5300
Alistair: 2100
"This is going more harder then I though. Time to change the course of the duel" Bloom though "Draw. I activate Dragon Ravine to discard a card from my hand and send to my hand my Dragunity Pilum. And next I'm going to summon it to the field" (Level 3 / Wind / Dragon / Tuner / 1400 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"With Pilum's effect, I can Special Summon one Winged Beast type Dragunity monster and equip it with Pilum. I summon Dragunity Militum in Attack Mode" (Level 4 / Wind / Winged Beast / 1700 ATK / 1200 DEF)
"Now I activate Legionnaire's effect. By sacrificing a Dragunity monster from my Spell/Trap Card Zone, I can destroy one monster on your field. I'll sacrifice my Pilum to destroy your King of the Skull Servants"
"No you won't because I activate the effect of my Skill Prisoner from my graveyard. By removing it from play, I target my King of Skull Servants and now all monster effects that target my King are immediately negated" Alistair said.
Bloom grumble at Alistair's counter "I switch my Legionnaire and Phalanx to Defense Mode and end my turn"
"I draw. I activate my face down, A Rival Appears!. With this, I choose one monster on your side of the field and Special Summon a monster from my hand with the same Level that the monster I choose. I choose your Level 3 Dragunity Legionnaire to Special Summon the Level 3 The Lady of Wight in Defense Mode" Alistair said. (Level 3 / Dark / Zombie / 0 ATK / 2200 DEF)
"And as long as she's on the field, all Level 3 or lower monsters are unaffected by Spell/Trap effects and can't be destroyed in battle except her. Next I activate the Spell, Monster Reincarnation. By discarding a card from my hand I can add to my hand one monster from my graveyard. I discard a Skull Servant to add Wightprincess back to my hand. Since I switched one Skull Servant for another, my King keeps his strength. Now I use the effect of my Wightprincess. By discarding her to the graveyard, all monsters on the field lose Attack and Defense Points equal to their Level/Rank multiplied by 300 until the end of the turn"
(The Lady of Wight / 0 ATK / 1300 DEF)
(Dragunity Phalanx / 0 ATK / 500 DEF)
(Dragunity Militum / 500 ATK / 0 DEF)
(Dragunity Legionnaire / 300 ATK / 0 DEF)
"Although my King of Skull Servants loses 300 Attack and Defense Points, he still gains 1000 Attack Points because Wightprincess returned to the graveyard" (King of the Skull Servants / 5700 ATK / 0 DEF)
Tyler looked at Alistair and noticed that something was happening to him. In beginning he was so calm and now he was filled with rage and hatred. Like he wanted to intentionally hurt Bloom. "Now King of the Skull Servants, attack Dragunity Militum!"
The King of the Skull Servants threw an energy ball at Militum with so much force that Bloom end up taking a nasty fall to the ground.
Bloom: 5300 - (5700 - 500) = 100
Alistair: 2100
Bloom was on the ground, shaking from the impact of the blow. Tyler was about to run and help Bloom when Alistair said this "I'm going to show everyone that everything you have is because you're the princess of Domino. I end my turn"
Everyone looked in shock at the words that Alistair said. Tyler knew that Alistair was cocky but being such an idiot it's completely different. Roxy was about to open is mouth to give Alistair a piece of her mind when suddenly Bloom tried to get up. "I've had a lot of haters trying to take me now and they all failed. And you're no different. I'm going to prove you wrong right now. Draw"
Bloom's eyes widened at the card she drew. "You? What are you doing here? I don't remember of adding you to my deck" Bloom then start smiling as a plan start forming in her head. Tyler looked at her and he also start smiling.
"Here goes. I activate the Spell, Raigeki. Now all monsters on your field are destroyed" Bloom said.
"Fool. Due to the effect of my Lady of Wight, all Level 3 or lower monsters are unaffected by Spell/Trap effects except her. She might be destroyed but by doing so you increased the attack of my King of Skull Servants" (King of the Skull Servants / 7000 ATK / 0 DEF)
"Actually, that was my plan all along. Next I use the Spell Soul Release to banish five monsters from your graveyard and weaken your monster" Bloom said. (King of the Skull Servants / 2000 ATK / 0 DEF)
"So what? 2000 Attack Points is more than enough to end you once and for all" Alistair said.
"Not against my next play. I sacrifice Dragunity Phalanx and Legionnaire to Tribute Summon, my pride and soul, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" All of the sudden a dragon with white scales, big white wings and dark blue eyes. He let out a roar that shook the ravine they were dueling. Everyone trembled at the power of the dragon while Tyler looked at the dragon and smiled. (Level 8 / Light / Dragon / 3000 ATK / 2500 DEF)
"W-What? How are you in possession of such rare card?" Alistair said in shock.
"A friend gave it to me. Now how about we show them your power. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack the King of Skull Servants with White Lightning!" Blue-Eyes opens his mouth a released a white lightning that hit the King and destroyed him.
Bloom: 100
Alistair: 2100 - (3000 - 2000) = 1100
"It's not over yet. I activate the effect of the King of Skull Servants. When he's destroyed in battle, I can remove from play one Skull Servant to Special Summon him back to the field" Alistair said as the King appeared again in front of everyone. (King of the Skull Servants / 1000 ATK / 0 DEF)
"What's the matter with you? Ever since we started the duel you seem to hold a grudge against me for no reason. I never done anything to you so why are you behaving like this?" Bloom decided to finally confront Alistair.
"I worked so hard in my life without asking for anything. The only thing I wanted was just a simple 'Thank You' but not even that I received. I saw people taking shortcuts and stealing my opportunities. But when I saw you, that was when I got really angry. Do you want to know why? It's because I don't like you" Alistair looked at Bloom with enraged eyes "Ever since people find out that you are the keeper of the Dragon's Flame, things start going in your way. You've became the favorite student in Alfea, you're engaged in the king of Eraklyon and you even got your family back. Everything you have and you're not worthy of it. You didn't work to get those things. You didn't sacrifice ANYTHING to get those things. They were only given to you because of little sparkle that you have inside of you" Bloom looked embarrassed at what Alistair said. She knew that sometimes she could be self-centered but what he was saying was not her. She was better than that.
"I going to show what you're nothing compared to me. Draw" Alistair said "I activate the Spell Card, One Day of Peace. We both draw one card but neither of us takes damage until your End Phase. Next, I discard my Wightmare to activate his effect. I choose one of my Skull Servants that were removed from play and return him to the graveyard. And since I discarded another Skull Servant, my King's power increase again" (King of the Skull Servants / 3000 ATK / 0 DEF)
"Now King of the Skull Servants, attack the Blue-Eyes and annihilate him him" Alistair said as the two monsters clashed and destroyed each other.
"Why is he doing that? Both monsters have the same attack power" Roxy looked confused at the battle between the two monsters.
"Since the King can return to the field every time he is destroyed in battle, by destroying him he returns to the field as a new monster and can attack again" Tyler said "The only reason he didn't win this turn is because of One Day of Peace"
"Due to effect of the King, I remove a Skull Servant from my graveyard so that he can return to the field" Alistair said. (King of the Skull Servants / 2000 ATK / 0 DEF) "Your move"
"I don't know why do you think those things about me, but you're wrong. It's not because of the Dragon's Flame that I have all this. This because of the sacrifices I made ..." Bloom said.
"LIES! You won't fool me. Now make your move" Alistair said.
"I draw" Bloom looked at the card she drew and look of shock came to her face "Another? But I thought you were in the graveyard. How can you be in my deck again? Unless, there is more than one. Alright then, I know what to do"
"I set a monster face down and end my turn"
"Just like I predicted. You're nothing. I'm going to end this right now. DRAW!" Alistair said. "I activate the Spell, Double Attack. By discarding one monster card from my hand, I choose one monster on field with a lower Level than the monster I discarded and he can attack twice this turn. I discard The Lady of Wight so that my King of Skull Servants attacks you twice. And since I discarded another Skull Servant, his power goes up again" (King of the Skull Servants / 3000 ATK / 0 DEF)
"Now go King of Skull Servants, attack her face down monster and attack her directly" the King threw an energy ball at the face down card and revealed a small pink dragon.
"Since my Kidmodo Dragon was sent to the graveyard, I can Special Summon a Dragon type monster from my hand. Come forth, Blue-Eyes White Dragon" Bloom said as Blue-Eyes appeared in the field.
"Then I'll destroy him and attack you directly. The outcome is the same. YOU LOST! King of the Skull Servants, attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon" Alistair said.
"No. I remove Necro Gardna from my graveyard to stop your attack" Bloom said as the spirit of Necro Gardna protected Blue-Eyes from the attack.
"When did you send Necro Gardna to the graveyard?" Alistair said surprised.
"I'll give you a clue. Look around you" Bloom said.
"Around me? But around us is the Field ..." Alistair then realized what happened.
"I activate Dragon Ravine to discard a card from my hand to send to my hand my Dragunity Pilum"
"You discarded him to add Pilum to your hand. I'll give you that one. I was expecting it. But it doesn't matter. Nothing you can do will lead to victory. I end my turn" Alistair said.
Bloom looked at Alistair and saw the hatred in his eyes. She could read in his face that things were hard for him. But that was no reason to hate her. "I want you to know something Alistair. I may have my flaws, and maybe there's some things that I didn't earned. But coming here and saying that everything I have was given to me on a silver platter because I'm the princess of Domino and the keeper of the Dragon's Flame that's not true. I sacrificed my blood, sweat and tears to save the Magical Dimension. I had to gave up part of my Dragon's Flame to my friends because they lost their powers. I had to face some of the worst dangers that the Magical Dimension saw. But all the privileges that I have are nothing compared to the responsibilities that I have. I may have a perfect life, but that was because of who I am inside my heart and not from what I am or my royal status. And I'm going to prove you now. Draw"
"My deck has all this new cards that I never seen in my life. I just hope I don't screw things up" Bloom looked confused at her hand. She didn't know what to do. But then, the cards start appearing in head, like they were telling her what to do. "Alright, let's follow what my head says"
"I activate the Spell, Cards of Consonance. By discarding a Dragon type Tuner monster with 1000 Attack Points or less, I get to draw two cards. I discard The White Stone of Legend to draw two cards. Next I activate the effect of The White Stone of Legend. When this card is sent to the graveyard, I can add a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my hand. And I'll add my last copy to my hand"
"You have three copies of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Alistair said.
Bloom looked at the cards she and noticed a strange card "Polymerization? Why do I have this card in my deck. I don't know how to use it. I don't even see the point of trying to use it. I don't monsters to fuse together. Only two identical Blue-Eyes and they're too powerful. Wait, too powerful?" Bloom then remembered something from yesterday.
"If by fusing two weak monsters we create a powerful one, what would happen if we combine two or more powerful monsters?"
"Tyler, we're about to find that out" Bloom said in her head "I activate the Spell, Silver's Cry. With this, I can Special Summon one Dragon type Normal monster from my graveyard and I bring back my Blue-Eyes White Dragon"
"She has two Blue-Eyes on the field" Roxy said excited.
"But it's still not enough" Roxy looked at Tyler confused "If she attacks with the first Blue-Eyes, him and the King would be destroyed and he would bring him back with 2000 Attack Points. The second Blue-Eyes attacks and destroys the King, inflicting 1000 points of damage and remaining only 100. And possibly he would bring the King back. If Bloom wants to win this turn, she has to squeeze her deck a little more"
"Even with two rare cards on the field, you still can't defeat me. Case in point, I win" Alistair smiled evilly to Bloom.
"Not quite yet. I still have one more card to play, and that card is the one that will lead me to victory. I activate the Spell, Polymerization" Everyone look in shock at Bloom's words. She was going to Fusion Summon. But what?
"I fuse my two Blue-Eyes on the field with the one in my hand. By combining its power, I awaken a monster with power beyond imagining. I summon a creature without fear, with attack force so great that no monster can stand against it. I Fusion Summon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" (Level 12 / Light / Dragon / 4500 ATK / 3800 DEF)
The three white dragons combined their power and created a huge dragon with light blue scales and three heads each with blue eyes. Alistair looked at the monster in front of him and fear start running threw his body.
"This monster was created by my will to fight back. Every time someone tries to take me down, I always get up more stronger and more powerful. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack the King of Skull Servants. NEUTRON BLAST!" The three heads open their mouths and released an energy ray that converged into one and hit the King of Skull Servants. Alistair tried to hold on but the end up falling to the ground due to the blast.
Bloom: 100
Alistair: 1100 - (4500 - 3000) = 0
Bloom Wins!
The holograms faded away and everyone was back at Tyler's classroom. Everyone start cheering and clapping at the epicness of the duel. Bloom smiled at her victory but then she was about to collapse until Tyler grabbed her from falling to the ground. "Easy. You've been through a lot. Don't go die on us ok?" Bloom gave Tyler a weak smile. "You're as stubborn as me. So this is how my sister feels"
They then noticed Alistair moving again. The purple in his eyes faded away as he seated on the floor. Bloom tried to walk but she was too weak to even stand on her fit. She told Tyler to get closer to Alistair. "I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. But taking all that anger on someone that didn't made anything to you was not the right decision. You could have hurt innocent by trying to get your redemption"
"I know. The way I was thinking was wrong. I'm just tired of never being appreciated" Alistair said looking at the ground.
"Why don't you think of this as a new beginning. Maybe from here on out thing will go your way" Tyler said.
"You're right. I believe in you" Alistair said.
"Good to know. And what about you Bl…"
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
"Why am I not surprised. Alright, let's take Sleeping Beauty back to her room" Tyler grabbed Bloom and start walking to the exit of the classroom but he then looked behind him and saw the spirit of Kisara smiling at him. He gave her a smile and walk away "Thanks Kisara. I own you one"
That's all folks! (See what I did there XD)
So a couple of things to clarify, when Tyler told Bloom that his parents left them I didn't mean that they abandon Tyler and Julianna. I meant to say that they weren't with them anymore. Now if they passed away or if they abandon them that is up to you to find out, MWUAHAHAHAH! … sorry
Also, the next episode of Duelists in Magix is going to be an OVA with a very special guest. What I can reveal for now is that that special guest will duel against Tyler and it's a character that belongs to a certain franchise. Keep in mind that the character can be from any franchise (Games, Books, Cartoons, Anime, etc.) So I'll leave you to guess who that character might be.
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
