Author's Notes: Time for another mini-arc. I call this mini-arc 'Trials'.
Also, I'd like to say: Happy Birthday Nick!
Chapter Thirty: The Trinity
At the heart of the United Nations building, a man in a black robe was kneeling before a massive throne and the large figure that sat upon it. "That is my report Great Lord Eikyuu."
He waited for a response from his god, and when he received none he took a chance and looked up. To his surprise he saw the masked face of Eikyuu staring off towards a wall, obviously seeing beyond that. "You finished speaking. Leave."
The man, one of the lesser priests, scurried away so as not to incur his god's wrath. It wasn't that Eikyuu ever got angry, but rather that he got bored. Anyone who didn't do exactly as Eikyuu asked was liable to be sacrificed. "Interesting. My Knights have been defeated, just as anticipated. They served their purposes admirably."
Eikyuu turned his implacable gaze upon another lesser priest, and the woman immediately dropped into a bow. "You are female yes? Find for me three females of approximately twenty years of age who are considered attractive."
The priestess didn't know what Eikyuu wanted, as this was a strange request. She was certain that Eikyuu had no interest in sex, in fact he barely seemed to register a person's gender half the time. So why would he want three women who were attractive and twenty? "Amongst the soldiers, or does it not matter?"
"It does not matter. They are to be sacrifices. I want them within the hour." The priestess bowed deeper, and then departed in a hurry. If she wasn't back within an hour her life would be forfeit. She already had three women in mind who would fit Great Lord Eikyuu's requirements and be perfect for sacrificing.
"Let us see how the fallen fair against the strength of the Trinity."

Dalin peered around a corner, and found not a single person patrolling the street. He motioned to his two companions, and they advanced. Hikari was last in line, holding a commandeered rifle at the other two. Since she had the uniform of one of the soldiers they were constantly seeing she was able to pass them off as prisoners and go relatively unnoticed.
They were right now making there way towards an abandoned warehouse. Apparently the people who had been running it were offered as sacrifices for some purpose, leaving it empty. That gave them the perfect place to rest and recuperate. It would also give them the chance to plan their next move.
There were only three of them, against an army of soldiers and the massive power of Eikyuu. They had started their journey with so many others, and now of those who had started out only Dalin and Kirani remained.
Dalin pushed open the warehouse door and marched in, and as soon as Hikari was in as well he closed the door and bolted it. The three of them lowered themselves to the ground to rest their tired feet. "So what now? It's not like we really have anything to go on. We don't even know if we have a time limit on this."
"D'harim seemed anxious about something, but I don't know what. It was like he was on a time table the whole time, but he never talked about it. So I really don't know much else. I'm still mostly confused about what's going on. I've missed nearly five years of my own life, and a lot has happened." Hikari sighed and fingered the Millennium Disc that hung around her neck. The disc that should be her brother's.
Kirani placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled reassuringly. "It's okay, we'll catch you up on everything. But, I've been wondering. Where did you get that?"
"D'harim gave it to me, said I was the one who should carry it now. But I remember giving it to my brother. You two know him right? So where is he?" Dalin and Kirani shared a look, and then they thought of exactly how to explain the situation.
"Over a week ago he went to confront someone, it turned out they were the people trying to bring out Eikyuu. We're not exactly sure what happened, but we do know that Eikyuu was released and now he essentially rules the world. We don't know what happened to Daisuke." Hikari frowned, not sure how to take this.
"Is there really a way to defeat this Eikyuu person? If he's a god, how can we possibly win?" Silence was the only answer she received.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Three women of about twenty now stood in front of Eikyuu's throne. Each was completely naked, and each had an infinity symbol scrawled on their forehead in black ink. Eikyuu looked each of them over, and then nodded to the woman who had brought them. "These three are appropriate. The preparations are complete, and I find them satisfactory."
The priestess bowed deeply and then backed away, wishing to watch the ritual sacrifice take place from a distance. There was no telling what would happen. "The three of you have been chosen for an worthy purpose. You will be offered as sacrifices to resurrect my three faithful guardians, my Trinity of truest soldiers."
He walked in front of each of them, towering above them. They all shivered as he passed, awed by his presence. Never before had they stood in front of a god. "You have all proven suitable. You shall be the first."
He stopped in front of the last woman in the line and placed his large hand on her head. Then in one swift motion he snapped her neck, letting her limp body fall to the floor. The scrawled infinity symbol beneath her feet began to glow. "I dub you Ichiji, of the first order."
The woman next in line flinched as Eikyuu placed his hand on her forehead. Then just like the other he snapped her neck and let her fall. "I dub you Asei, of the second order."
The third woman's neck snapped just as easily as the other two, and when her body hit the symbol all three of the symbols started glowing brighter than before. "I dub you San'i, of the third order."
Light blazed around them, covering their forms completely from sight. Eikyuu extended his hand and prismatic energy flowed into each sphere of light, granting his power into it. "You are The Trinity, born again unto this world. Your purpose is to do my bidding, to eliminate those who oppose me. Your purpose is to obliterate The Fallen."
The spheres of light began to open, blossoming like flowers. Waiting within were the forms of three Servants of Order, whose entire purpose was to do Eikyuu's bidding. If the Knights of Order were his left hand, then the Trinity were his right.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Al was a simple guy. He had been recruited into Eikyuu's army as a member of the Third File. He served under Lord Nikolas, the Third Knight of Order. Although there were many in the army who were higher than he, as a member of the Army of Order he was still above civilians.
He had followed orders his whole life, doing whatever his bosses told him and never anything more or less. There was absolutely nothing unusual about him in any respect. Nor was there anything special about him. He was one hundred percent average.
Which was why he found it odd that he was now staring at three incredibly beautiful women. Three incredibly beautiful women who happened to be incredibly naked. "Ummm...hi."
"You will take us to a place where clothing is sold. You will do so now." Al gulped, shocked at the harsh and commanding way it was spoken. But then he noticed that each one of them bore a black infinity symbol on their forehead, and knew that made them important.
"Right away uhhh...what should I call you three?" The three women, each one exactly like the other, frowned and consulted with each other. After a few brief moments of deliberation the first one to have spoken turned to him and gave him an answer.
"You will refer to each of us as Lady. I believe that is an appropriate term for nobility in this part of the world. I am Lady Ichiji, that is Lady Asei, and behind her is Lady San'i. Now, lead on." Al nodded and started walking in the direction of the nearest store. He still felt awkward thinking that three naked women were following him through the streets of New York.
'Well, anything is possible in New York City. That's what they always say isn't it? And to think that none of this would have ever happened had I not been recruited. I guess being in the military has some serious perks.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dalin had been resting until a few moments previous. He had woken up because he had detected a surge of energy. Something powerful had just made its presence known in New York City. Something very powerful indeed.
Whatever it was, it was stronger than many signatures he had sensed before. The energy he felt was also different than anything else he had ever detected. 'Another threat awaits us. Does any hope of success remain?'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Al gulped at seeing the identical outfits that the three ladies had picked out. They had gone into the mall, and the three had rejected every article of clothing they found. Then they had seen a store that focused on some very naughty things, and they had rushed in like kids at a candy store.
Now each one of the raven haired beauties was dressed in skin tight leather from neck to toe. Al felt like his eyes were going to fall out of his head at this rate. What exactly where these women that they could dress like this or even be so casual about nudity? 'I've never met a girl who acted like this before. It's like they aren't away of sexuality and yet are at the same time.'
"You are staring." The first one, Lady Ichiji, spoke before the others as usual. Al grimaced and bowed deeply, hoping not to offend them. He was somehow certain that if he did they could kill him like it was nothing.
"I apologize profusely. I didn't mean to." The three women laughed, obviously amused by his reaction. He took a chance and looked up at them, and saw them standing around him in a circle.
The second one, Lady Asei, spoke next. "Do not be afraid for your life. We find it flattering."
Next the third one, Lady San'i took her chance to speak. "In fact, we were considering making you our personal pet. We saw a leash in this store that would work perfectly. Have you ever been a puppy before?"
Al wondered exactly what he had gotten himself into.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few hours later the three beautiful leather clad women walked out of the mall and onto the streets of New York City. There they received numerous stares, most of which they ignored. Yet at the same time they swayed their hips and provoked more stares.
After they had left, a daring couple decided to try out the shop that the three ladies had been in. They had never before experimented with anything risque, but now they felt they might give it a try. They never anticipated what they would find.
When they walked in the store they found a man hanging from a ceiling fan by a leather collar and dog leash. The most peculiar thing about this man was that he had no skin.
They didn't stop screaming until they were sedated half an hour later.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dalin's eyes went wide and he threw himself away from the door just in time. The door exploded inwards, sending shrapnel flying. The surge of energy had been the only thing that alerted him to the oncoming attack.
Although he didn't know what to expect, he knew that there was no time to waste. He raised his arm and fired a burst of energy. The silver ball of light shot through the smoke and exploded against something. There was silence for a moment, and then laughter.
Another surge of energy alerted him to an oncoming attack, and he raised a barrier around Kirani and Hikari. The entire wall of the warehouse that had initially held the door burst apart, spraying the barrier with metal fragments. To Dalin's surprise, in walked three women.
Each one wore black leather and was identical to the next. They all were beautiful with raven black hair and blue eyes the shade of a robin's egg. Each had a black infinity symbol o ntheir forehead. Worst of all was that they were all tremendously powerful. "I like this one, he's feisty. Shall we make him our next puppy?"
The other two smiled at the first's comment, and Dalin grimaced. Somehow he had the feeling that he was outgunned in this situation. But he had no intention of allowing them to just walk all over him. "Kirani, pass me the rifle."
Without a word Kirani did as he asked and he turned the rifle on the three women. The second one cocked her head to the side and in a curious tone said: "What's that he has there? A chew toy of some kind?"
"It doesn't look like a chew toy. Our last puppy had one as well, I think it was meant to be a weapon. It's kind of cute don't you think sisters?" The other two nodded, agreeing with the third of them. Dalin didn't allow another word, and he opened fired. He emptied a dozen rounds into each of the three women before they had a chance to even do so much as blink.
The holes in their bodies covered over in less than a second, and they appeared untouched. It was like the bullets had never been there, and that the damage had not been dealt. "Damn..." Taking a chance he emptied the rest of the clip into them, hoping to at least give them a reason to pause.
While they inspected the various wounds on their bodies Dalin grabbed Hikari and Kirani and kicked open the back door. He bolted out of it, getting the other two running as well. From what he could tell this was a fight that they couldn't win. Had there been assistance from people like Yami and Drake, he might have been able to take them. But on his own he didn't stand a chance.
Back behind them the Trinity expelled the bullets from their bodies, and they turned to look at each other. "We were right, he is feisty. He'll make a good puppy. I bet he'll last longer than the last one."
Smiling to themselves the three identical women began to run after their three targets, intent on catching them. Nobody every escaped them. They were utterly loyal to Eikyuu, unlike their male counterparts. They were beings forged for the purpose of obeying Eikyuu and had over the millennia developed strange quirks.
The Knights of Order on the other hand were by nature disloyal to Eikyuu, only serving him for their own purposes. Long ago Eikyuu had explained the situation to them, and they accepted it, because he had said it. Everything that Eikyuu said was the truth, because lying was beneath him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dalin, Kirani, and Hikari rounded the corner of a building, and stopped dead. The deadly triplets that had been chasing them were now standing directly in front of them. "Bad puppies, we said stay and you didn't stay."
The first one's elbow collided with Dalin's stomach, and he was hurled backwards into a brick wall. His body smashed straight through it. Kirani took a kick to her side and went down in a heap. Hikari was knocked unconscious by a single strike.
Just like that the three people who were left that could oppose Eikyuu had been proven inferior. Dalin felt like his body had been hit by a sledgehammer, and knew that in a fight with these three he wouldn't win.
However, he had no intention of just sitting back and dying. The three of them didn't see it coming at all. He burst out of the rubble with a metal pipe in his right hand and was on them in a second's time. A powerful swing snapped the first one's head completely around, and dropped her like a rock.
The follow caught the second woman in the throat, and a distinctive crunching sound told Dalin that her windpipe had been crushed. A third swing nearly struck the final of the women, but she managed to jump backwards in time to avoid it. "Naughty boy, you shouldn't try and hurt us."
Out of the corner of his eye Dalin saw the first woman rising up back to her feet. She reached up and straightened her head. To her right the second one was also getting back on her feet, and rubbing her throat with a look of irritation. 'Are they immortal?'
An explosion of power ripped him off his feet and sent him back into the wall, blowing another hole in it. He tumbled end over end and finally came to a rest about thirty feet from his starting position. The impact and the blast had torn apart the cloak he had taken from Nick.
Dalin groaned and pushed himself into a sitting position. Standing in a circle around him were the three women. He knew that there was no chance to easily stop them, but he had one or two options still left. So he took them.
His hand snapped out and grabbed the middle one's throat, clenching tightly. In a flash he unleashed the power of the Icon of Osiris, and attempted to drag her soul into the land of the dead, which would effectively kill her. The only problem was...
'There's no soul there!' A hand found its way to his neck, and lifted him up off the ground. Another fist planted itself in his stomach, and the woman whose throat he had grabbed pulled away and proceeded to head butt him. Then he was released, and allowed to fall to his knees.
Without having a chance to react he took a knee to the face, and was knocked into the far wall. He slumped up against it, his face bleeding where his nose had been broken. It seemed strange to him that he was being manhandled by three identical women, each of whom was nearly a foot shorter than he was. 'This is my final option.'
"You three, you want me to be your puppy is that right?" They stopped in their tracks and nodded, each one bearing an identical happy smile. Something about that smile was very eerie, something about it was far from human.
"I'll willingly become your puppy...if you can defeat me in a test of skill, and not strength." The three looked at each other and seemed to consult mentally. Not a word was spoken between the three, but finally they turned to look at him again and offer their answer.
"That card game of yours, that's the test of skill isn't it?" Dalin nodded, and they consulted with each other again. When they were ready the second of the two spoke.
"We'll agree to your proposition because we think it's amusing. But only on one condition." The third one immediately picked up where the second had left off.
"The girl back there also becomes our puppy. It's best to play dress up when you have a boy puppy and a girl puppy." The first girl had already left, and was now returning, dragging Kirani in by her hair. The girl tossed Kirani over next to Dalin, and Dalin caught her before she could hit the ground.
"If that's the case, then she duels with me. If you want us to be your puppies, then you must earn it." With his help Kirani was able to stand, and the two of them activated their duel disks. The three women raised their left arms, and duel disks suddenly appeared on them, decks in place already.
All three of their disks snapped into place, and all five of them drew their opening hand. Then the first of the three drew her sixth card, showing that she would start the duel off. "I am Lady Ichiji, first of the Trinity. My move shall consist of setting two cards face down, and a monster in defense mode." (ILP: 4000)
The second of the three drew her own sixth card and fanned them out. She smiled prettily and then placed her first card on the disk. "I am Lady Asei, and time will soon be out for you two, because my move begins with the infamous Jigen Bakudan(200/1000) in attack mode. In a total of three of my turns it will detonate and take out all monsters on my field in order to damage your life points."
A spherical little creature appeared on her field, with a miniature clock on its front. The hand was pointing towards three at the moment, but at the end of her turn it would drop to two. "Then I set one card face down and my turn is considered to be complete." (ALP: 4000)
Finally the third of the trinity took her turn, drawing her sixth card. Casually she placed a card onto her field, smiling just like the other two were. "I am Lady San'i and I predict dark time ahead for you. I begin by summoning False Prophet-Subara(1000/1000) in face-up defense mode."
A man in red flowing robes appeared in front of her, his hands clasped together and his eyes closed. He also appeared to be chanting something. "My False Prophet's effect will be revealed in due time. Now I set a single card face down and my turn is considered to be completed." (SLP: 4000)
Kirani narrowed her eyes as she looked over her hand. Already she could see a strategy forming, and she knew how to take out Jigen Bakudan before it managed to deal major damage to either of their life points. 'These three may act like professionals, but we'll see just how good they are soon enough.'
"I set two cards face down. Then I summon Child of the Storm-Gilford(1200/800) in attack mode. That's all for me." Her monster was a youngish man in loose fitting blue armor. A sword was hung over his bag, and it was dragging on the ground because it was much too big for him. This was the child form of Kirani's primary weapon, Gilford the Lightning. When it grew up, then her enemies would be in trouble. (KLP: 4000)
Dalin wiped the blood from his face and looked over his hand, deciding exactly what to do. 'These three women are extremely deadly as opponents in battle, and I doubt they would be this confident if they were unskilled at the game. This will be no simple duel, I'm sure of that.'
"My turn begins by summoning this creature. Seraphim Sabre(1600/1500)!" An angel figure with wings folded across his body descended from above, holding a long sword in his right hand. The angel turned his eyes upon his foes, and prepared to follow any command of his master.
"Seraphim Sabre will be one of my weapons against you. However, no duelist in a multi-player duel can attack during the first turn. Therefor I set a single card face down, and my turn is over." Now each duelist had their field set up, and the duel could really begin. This was when they learned just what sort of skill their opponents had. (DLP: 4000)
Ichiji drew her newest card, but didn't have a chance to do much before San'i snapped her fingers. San'i's face down card raised up, revealing a man preaching above an army of men who appeared to be melting away. "This is my trap card, Doom Prophecy! I name five cards in my opponent's deck and if those cards exist there, they must be discarded."
She glanced at each of her two counterparts, and then smiled. "For Mr. Puppy's deck I name Card of Sanctity, Joyful Light of the Heavenly Realm, Payment of Debt, Sanctuary of the Sky, and Saturn, Angel of Judgment."
Dalin popped his deck out of the slot and searched through it until he came across the five named cards. Then he inserted them into his graveyard. San'i took another glance at her counterparts, and spoke again. "For Mrs. Puppy's deck I name Card of Demise, Enter the Storm, The Gathering Storm, Gilford of Thunder, and Gilford the Lightning."
Just like Dalin before her Kirani searched for the named cards and discarded them. They shot a glance at each other, knowing just what had happened. Each of them had just lost some key cards and some of their best draw power. Ichiji smiled and pressed two buttons her duel disk. "Face down cards open!"
The first trap showed a skeletal dragon in a desert, and the second showed a man smirking coincidentally at a gambling table with dice in his hand. "The first card is Disappear, which will remove one card from the opponent's cemetery! The second is Effect Multiplication, which will multiple the effect of one card by the number rolled. Go Dice Roll!"
A die was spat out of her trap card, and bounced around. Finally it came to rest on a three, and a powerful glow sprang up around Disappear. "This now lets me remove three cards from the cemetery instead of one. So I remove Sanctuary of the Sky, Gilford of Thunder, and Gilford of Lightning."
Kirani and Dalin grabbed the named cards and placed them into their back pockets. It was now starting to become obvious that these three were in perfect synch, which would make this duel all the more difficult. "Now it's my other sister's turn."
Asei snapped her finger, and her trap was revealed. It depicted a man with his arm strapped down on a table, and a knife descending towards it. His hand was holding a group of cards. "This is Hand Slashing, which forces every player to discard half of their hand to the cemetery!"
In one swift move every player but Kirani was left with two cards in their hand. Kirani had just one as she had been forced to round up. Ichiji spoke up again to continue her turn. "I activate Foolish Burial, which lets me take a monster from my deck and send it to the cemetery."
A card ejected from her deck and she caught it easily. Then she placed it in the cemetery, and looked at the remaining card in her hand. "I set this one card face down. My turn is over."
Asei smiled brightly at her draw, and instantly played it onto the field. A huge monster with a pike and a metal shield now stood in front of her, holding the pike out to ward off attackers. "Meet one of my strongest creatures, Supreme Offense Defender(2700/0)! My monster cannot attack under any circumstances, but if my opponent attacks they must attack this monster."
Kirani and Dalin both looked over at Jigen Bakudan, whose timer was slowly moving past the two. Now they knew her plan, to keep out a powerful monster in order to deal serious damage and keep them from destroying Jigen. "Now I set one magic or trap card on the field. End!"
San'i smiled and as soon as she had drawn her card Subara opened his eyes, revealing them to be glowing blue. Dalin's deck also started to glow blue. "During my standby phase False Prophet-Subara allows me to name one card in the opponent's deck. If it exists there it must be discarded to the cemetery. So I name Justice For All!"
Dalin flipped through his deck to find it, and then got rid of it before shuffling his deck back up. San'i gave a satisified look to her two sisters and grabbed another card in her hand. "I summon False Prophet-Typherio(300/2100) in defense mode."
A heavy set man in identical robes to Subara was her new monster, and his eyes were open and glowing green. "Once per turn Typherio allows me to discard the top card of the opponent's deck. So Mrs. Puppy must discard her top card."
Kirani grimaced and shoved the top card of her deck into the graveyard. San'i smiled brightly and slid another card onto her duel disk. "I set a single card face down. Now Mrs. Puppy gets to take her turn."
She drew for her turn, and then her grimace turned quickly into a smirk. "I'm going to destroy Jigen Bakudan right now with one of my monsters!" She slammed it down onto her disk, not caring that Asei seemed amused by her declaration.
"This is Mage of Lightning-Gilford(1600/1300). He lets me sacrifice a monster to destroy an opponent's monster, so I sacrifice him to destroy Jigen Bakudan!" Mage of Lightning disappeared and formed into a ball of lighting. The ball of lightning shot across the field and slammed into the infamous time bomb, blowing it away completely.
"That's all for me. Your turn Dalin." The angel duelist nodded and snapped another card off his deck, giving him three cards to work with. Already he had figured out their joint strategy, to eliminate their best cards and cut them off from their strategies while simultaneously attacking and dealing damage. It was a brilliant strategy.
"I set one card face down and place a monster in defense mode. Since Supreme Offense Defender is in play, I cannot make an attack. Until I can, my turn is over." He folded his arms and waited patiently for his opponents to take their turns, knowing that for the time being they were safe.
Ichiji clapped her hands happily and reached down for her duel disk. She picked up her monster and showed it to them, revealing a Sangan(1000/600). "I sacrifice my face down Sangan in order to set a monster on the field. This will let me search my deck for a monster with fifteen hundred or less attack points."
A card ejected from her deck and she caught it. Then she flipped it around, showing a picture of a woman with wings and tears in her eyes. "This is my Tearful Angel(300/100). I can discard her from my hand at any time to draw two cards from my deck. So I discard it and draw twice."
She snapped two more cards off her deck, and then smiled. She flipped around one of her cards and showed it to them. "This is Dragged Down Into The Grave. It lets me look at another player's hand and discard one card from their hand. At the same time I must discard one from my hand. Then each of those two draw a card."
Smiling she pointed at Dalin, who flipped around his card to reveal a Holy Shine Sphere(500/500) which he promptly discarded. Ichiji showed her own card to be a high level monster, which she casually discarded. "My card was Beast of the Depths(2600/2600) who forces me to send two monsters from my deck to the grave when he goes to the cemetery because of an effect."
Not only did she draw a card, but her deck also spat out two monsters which she caught. She flipped them around, showing them both to be familiar monsters, which were discarded. "These were Tearful Angels(300/100), and since they went to the grave I draw two cards for each."
She fanned out her full hand of five cards, and clapped her hands with joy. "Perfect! I play Sacrifice for Spell Gathering. I have to discard monster to add magic cards from my deck to my hand, but they can't be played this turn. So I discard two monsters and get two magic cards in exchange." She slid the cards into her grave and caught another set of cards from her deck.
"Until I do get to play them, I set a single card face down. Now for my sister to take her turn." She flashed Asei a smile, and the second of the trinity smiled back, drawing her own card to start off her turn.
Asei instantly pressed a button on her duel disk, and a trap depicting a graveyard appeared. "Call of the Haunted lets me return Jigen Bakudan(200/10000) to the field in attack mode. Not only that, but I get to summon a second Supreme Offense Defender(2700/0)!"
Now she had two of her beastly level four monsters, and her deadly time bomb. Dalin narrowed his eyes at seeing how she was holding the card she had just drawn. He knew what was about to happen. "Time's running out! I activate Time Jump, accelerating time by three turns, which instantly detonates Jigen Bakudan!"
The bomb exploded, taking out the two mighty level fours. The excess blast washed over Dalin, shoving him backwards into the wall behind him. "The effect of my time bomb deals a total of twenty-eight hundred damage to your life points Mr. Puppy!" (DLP: 1200)
Ichiji snapped her fingers, and a card on her field flipped up. "I activate Sudden Revival, which works when all the monsters on a player's field are destroyed by an effect. Those monsters are instantly returned to the field! So my sister gets her three monsters back!"
Jigen and the two pikemen appeared exactly as they had been, only Jigen's hand was once again at the three. That meant they had another chance to blow a massive chunk out of Kirani or Dalin's life points. "I end my turn!"
Now the turn was back to San'i, who was ready to deal more damage to their decks. Her two monster's eyes opened, glowing their respective colors as their effects kicked in. "Typherio discards a card off of Mrs. Puppy's deck, and I name Monster Reborn in Mr. Puppy's deck according to Subara's effect."
Dalin ditched his Monster Reborn from his deck, surprised to see it was his top card. Kirani likewise discard her top card, dealing just a little bit more damage to their decks. "Now I summon False Prophet-Veritas(0/1900) in defense mode. Veritas, activate your effect!"
A stern looking man in robes appeared, and snapped his eyes open. They had a fierce red glow to them, and that same glow showed up around Dalin and Kirani's hands. Giant images of the cards appeared above their hands. "As long as Veritas is in play the opposing player, or players in this case, must play with their hands open."
Dalin's card was his trap Energy Absorption, while Kirani's was the equip magic card Lightning Blade. San'i flashed her sisters a bright smile, as now they knew exactly what their opponents had in their hands. "So fast you two are losing. Soon you'll be our puppies! I predict it perfectly!"
