Last time........
Toriyama: Well, this is an awkward situation for Toorima. Since he challenged Bi Senritsu to a duel, he was waiting for her to show up, but she never did. To Toorima and Ayana's surprise, Toorima had to duel Ikamono Shimei, a great duelist in Bakura's card shop. The two continued to fight while Toorima talked trash about Bi. When Toorima thought he won in the trash talking, Ikamono revealed that he was really Bi Senritsu. What a twist!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Six: Denial
"Ode to Joy" continued blaring in the Carneige Hall-like area. Ayana was sitting somewhere else on the stage while Toorima was battling the blond haired Bi Senritsu. Across from Toorima was not only Bi, but her three Angel Knights. Toorima had no monsters on the field, but only two Trap Cards: Solemn Wishes and Bad Reaction to Simochi, while Bi had her Ode to Joy trap and Thread of Life magic. Bi kept looking anxiously at Toorima.
"I'm waiting, Toorima! Do you still want to duel me or not? Or are you ashamed that you were actually trash talking someone that you thought wasn't around? Is that your style, Toorima?!" Bi shouted.
"No, it's not! But I have a question, Bi! Why disguise yourself? Why not just confess to people that you're a duelist...... not to mention, but a good one!" Toorima said.
"I do it because I know people would just treat me like you people."
"What the hell is that suppose to mean, Bi?" Ayana asked, standing up.
Bi glared at Ayana, then at Toorima.
"Do you really wanna know what I mean? I'm a rich girl, for God's sake. My parents tell me to keep my money for stuff like college and stuff. I don't like the life of luxury that much, but it pays the bill. I knew that becoming a duelist would get me more money in tournaments. You see, people look up to me because they think I'm someone that's high and mighty! Some glorious goddess that has the dollar-dollar bills! Not to mention that Ouken Hime is the head of the school and Domino newspaper! If word got out that I'm a duelist, the rich hiretsukan will start treating me like I'm inferior, like you two!" Bi shouted.
Ayana shook her head.
"You're ashamed of what you truly are? You're afraid that people will stop liking you because you're a duelist AND the popular girl at our school? The people respect us, Bi. You know that. Even when you're Ikamono Shimei, don't you feel that people respect you?" she asked.
"They fear me." Bi retorted. "Now stop talking! I want to end this duel! It's still your move, Toorima! Go for it!"
"With pleasure, I'll play the Pot of Greed Magic Card, allowing me to draw again. And you know what happens when I draw, Solemn Wishes activates!" Toorima said, drawing two cards.
Black mist surrounded Bi. The mist was coming from that horrid Trap Card. I have to destroy it before I lose and my reputation becomes a joke. she thought.
Bi - 2000
Toorima - 3700
"I'll set this monster face-down and end my turn." said Toorima as the face-down monster appeared on the field.
"Fine then," Bi said, drawing a card. "It's over! It's all over! Time for the music to end! I play a Magic Card called 'O Fortuna!'"
Bi placed the Magic Card into her duel disk. The Carneige Hall-like arena, shattered and the sky of the prairie looked red. The Angel Knights started to glow white and fly to the sky. Bi's Ode to Joy trap card and the Thread of Life disappeared. Carmina Burana's "O Fortuna" started to echo around the ruins of the Carneige Hall.
O Fortuna
Type: Magic
Effect: This card can only be activated if 1 "Angel Knight #1," "Angel Knight #2," and "Angel Knight #3" are on your field in face-up Attack Position. Offer the following monsters as a Tribute to Special Summon 1 "Archangel Knight."
"What's happening?!" Ayana screamed as the three angels continued to fly upward.
The three angels got in the position of a triangle. As the famous chorus of "O Fortuna" blared, the angels exploded into specks of light. Light shined down from their destruction spot and a woman started to descend. She had long black hair, six black wings, and she wore black crystal armor. In her hands was a huge black sword, the hilt was made of black bones. The angel's eyes were purple. She landed next to Bi.
Archangel Knight
Type: Dark - Fairy
Level: 8
ATK: 2800
DEF: 2200
Effect: This card can only be Special Summoned by the effects of "O Fortuna." When successfully Special Summoned, destroy all the cards on the field, but this card.
"What is that thing?!" Toorima asked.
"This is my Archangel Knight! Unlike the Angel Knights, she relies on the powers of darkness! Not only that, observe her power!" Bi shouted.
The archangel held out her blade and it flashed red like fire. She slashed at Toorima's field and the cards exploded. Toorima looked shocked.
"Now, my archangel, show this chump that I mean business!"
The archangel flew at Toorima and slashed at him about three times. Toorima screamed in pain and fell to the ground. His Life Points were almost gone.
Bi - 2000
Toorima - 900
"Hey, Toorima, if you want to surrender, do so. After all, even if I'm not Ikamono Shimei, I am still kicking your butt all over this area." Bi taunted.
"This is only the beginning, Bi!" Toorima said, drawing. "I'll play the Magic Card, Coins from Heaven, allowing us to draw until we have six cards in our hand!"
Toorima placed the card in the disk and both him and Bi drew until they had six cards in their hand. Toorima grinned.
"I think I'm going to counter attack your little Archangel Knight strategy, Bi! Observe as I play a Magic Card called Tide of Despair!" he said, placing the card in the disk.
Tide of Despair
Type: Magic
Effect: Discard your entire hand to the Graveyard. Any Monster Cards in your Graveyard because of the effect of this card, add their ATK together and add them to your total Life Points. Then, decrease your Life Points by half to inflict damage to your opponent by the Life Points lost. After that, draw the same number of cards you discarded to the Graveyard.
"Ha, like that'll work. You do this and you'll be wide open for a direct attack." Bi said.
"Hey, if I lose, at least it'll show that even I can take on Ikamono Shimei." Toorima said, discarding his hand.
A black void appeared behind Toorima. Six spirits entered the portal. Toorima grinned.
"Just so you know, I had a Cyber Jar and a Magical Marionette in that hand. So that adds up to 2900, making my Life Points 3800!" he said.
Bi - 2000
Toorima - 3800
"But now I have to forfeit about 1900 Life Points to drain you of that many Life Points." Toorima said as the spirit of the Magical Marionette and Cyber Jar attacked Bi directly.
Bi screamed in pain as the Cyber Jar blasted her with a blue beam of energy. Then, the marionette blasted Bi with dark energy. She moaned in pain and fell to her knees.
Bi - 100
Toorima - 1900
Ayana started to feel sorry for Bi now. Even though Bi was a cold hearted monster toward her at school, she knew that she could get along with her in the dueling world. After all, when Bi was Ikamono Shimei, Ayana befriended her. This had gone on fair enough.
"Toorima, stop. This isn't worth it now." Ayana said.
"Whaddya mean, Ayana? I almost have her beat! When I beat her, she'll regret every messing with both me and you!" Toorima shouted.
"Is that what this is all about? Revenge? I just thought it was going to be a friendly competition! But now that I see that when Bi revealed herself, you want to try and kill her! That is enough, Toorima! This is stupid! You should know better! I'll admit, Bi isn't the most nicest person in the world, not to me or you, but it doesn't matter. She choose who she likes and dislikes. And right now, you're no better than her! Not at all! If this is what you want, I don't want to be apart of this sick game you're playing, Toorima! I'm logging out and heading home! Good-bye!" Ayana said as her form disappeared.
"Ayana!" Toorima called out.
He lookd back at Bi, who struggling to her feet. The archangel helped her mistress to her feet. Toorima glared at Bi. He started to feel cold hatred toward her at the moment. It's because of you that I'll probably lose Ayana forever! All because of you! he thought.
"Bi! I'm going to finish this once and for all! The last of Tide of Despair's effect takes place now!" he shouted, drawing six more cards. "Before this turn ends, I'll play Iron Chains of Nightmares!"
Toorima inserted the card in his disk and chains surrounded the Archangel. She screamed in pain.
Iron Chains of Nightmares
Type: Magic
Effect: Reduce the ATK of 1 Monster Card on the field by 700 points and gain 700 Life Points. The chosen monster can no longer attack or be offered as a Tribute.
Bi - 100
Toorima - 2600
"What do you plan on doing here? You don't even have a strong monster in your deck that can destroy the Archangel Knight! Even if she does have 2100 ATK, you still won't be able to beat her!" Bi said.
"That's what you think! I have five cards left in my hand! I plan on using at least three of them before the turn is over!" Toorima chuckled. "Starting with this, Watch Tranquilizer!"
A wristwatch appeared on Toorima's wrist and he shot a small needle that pierced the Archangel's neck. The angel screamed as her ATK went to 1300. Bi looked on in horror.
"Soon enough, I will be able to destroy that angel with NO problem! Now, to play Magic Shard Excavation! I discard two cards from my hand to draw a Magic Card from my Graveyard!" Toorima continued, discarding two cards and drawing a magic card. "Can you guess which one it is?"
"My guess is it's Tide of Despair!" Bi shouted.
"Wrong! It's Iron Chains of Nightmares! Your monster loses another 700 ATK and I gain 700 more!" Toorima taunted as more chain wrapped around the archangel.
The Archangel's ATK was now 600.
Bi - 100
Toorima - 3300
"I'll end my turn with a card face-down." Toorima said, setting a card face-down.
Bi couldn't believe that her strongest monster was being reduced to a weakling by Toorima. His Life Points were ungodly higher than hers. It was no use. She drew another card.
"This will help me. I know it will! Deepest Impact! Activate!" Bi shouted.
Meteors started to fall onto the area, destroying the Archangel and the chains. Toorima looked confused, then screamed as he looked at his Life Point meter.
Bi - 50
Toorima - 1650
"What did you do?!" Toorima shouted.
"Deepest Impact destroys all monsters on the field and reduces both player's Life Points by half. And that's not all. I'll blow away that face-down card with this new Magic Card, Angel's Feather Duster!"
Angel's Feather Duster
Type: Magic
Effect: Destroy all your opponent's face-down Magic/Trap Cards. For every card destroyed, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points and increase your Life Points by 500 points.
A strong gust of wind blew through the area, destroying Toorima's face-down card, Mirror Force. A ray of light shined down on Bi as she looked at Toorima with confidence in her eyes. Toorima looked worried.
Bi - 550
Toorima - 650
"So, big boy, not so bad now, are ya?" Bi asked as the light died out.
