39. Valkyrie VS Guardian
"Valkyrie Sovite's attack!" Sophia said with passion, pointing her finger at Yukie. The three pink haired valkyries kicked up their horses, causing them to charge, each with their sword at their side, ready to strike.
Yukie looked on, her life points standing at 2900. If this attack were to be successful, Yukie would lose the duel.
Sophia, on the other hand was at the end with 1900 life points.
"Activate trap card!" Yukie announced. "Guardian's Formation of Movement!"
"What's that..." Sophia growled as the trap card flipped up.
"By sacrificing half of my life points (LP: 1450) I'm allowed to bring forth up to three guardians that have been removed from play, to the field!" Yukie explained. "So now! I bring forth Back-Up Guardian! (2200/500) Guardian Elma! (1200/1300) and Guardian Shifter all in defense mode! (1300/1500)"
"Err, Valkyrie Sovite's, destroy her two weakest monsters now!" Sophia ordered, pointing her finger at Yukie.
One of the pink haired Valkyrie's backed away from the attack and the other two slashed at both of Yukie's defending guardians, destroying her Guardian Elma, and Guardian Shifter.
Sophia chuckled. "You have such a messed up deck. You can't summon any of your monsters without even the right card on the field." She said. "This duel will be easily won by me."
"I don't care if I don't win, all I know is I'm keeping my cool." Yukie said.
"Whatever, when you need to duel seriously, you need to get angry!" Sophia smiled, Yukie looked at Sophia weirdly as Sophia leaned back and gave a giant evil laugh. "So, I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
"Draw!" Yukie announced, drawing her card. "I'll activate this magic card, Flaming Rebirth!"
"Lucky draw." Sophia smirked.
"This allows me to revive a monster from my graveyard, and I chose my Guardian Elma! (1300/1200)" Yukie announced as a giant burst of flame came up from the ground. A figure shot out of the flames, then flipped down, the female guardian landed on her feet, giving a quick bow. "And when I summon this monster, it allows me to bring back a equip magic card from my graveyard! Once again I chose my Spark Cannon!"
"Errr, no!" Sophia growled.
Suddenly the same blue lightning bolt cannon appeared. Guardian Elma grabbed it, resting it on her shoulder. "Now! Destroy her Valkyrie Sovite!" Yukie announced, pointing at the middle pink haired valkyrie.
The female Guardian started a low scream as the cannon began to charge, then fired a stream of electricity at the valkyrie, destroying it.
"Err!" Sophia growled as the blast sent a gust of wind at her. Sophia's hair flailed and her cards shook in her hands as her life points reduced to 1500.
"And my turn ends!" Yukie announced.
"Draw..." Sophia said in a low rumble. "Now! I sacrifice my two remaining Valkyrie Sovite's to summon this! Valkyrie Brunhilde! (1800/2000)"
"I'll also play this! Sword Of Sovite!" Sophia announced as the magic card formed on the field. Suddenly a long silver sword appeared with a golden hilt and beaded designs all over it. "Once equipped to my Valkyrie Brunhilde, it gives it a boost of five hundred attack points! (2300/2000) Also, I'll be able to bring back a Valkyrie monster during each of my main phases! So I bring back Valkyrie Dritt! (1000/1600)"
"No!" Yukie gasped as the orange haired valkyrie materialized to the field.
"Valkyrie Brunhilde, destroy her Guardian Elma!" Sophia announced, pointing at the monster which was equipped with Spark Cannon.
The valkyrie charged forward, on her horse, slashing her Sword of Sovite down on Guardian Elma and destroying her. Sophia laughed as Yukie's life points lowered to 1150.
"Finally, Valkyrie Dritt, attack her life points directly!" Sophia commanded, pointing.
The orange haired valkyrie charged forward, slashing her sword across Yukie. Yukie screamed, falling on her bottom as her life points reduced to 150. "Look at this, you're pathetic." Sophia laughed.
Yukie stood back up. "You..." She growled.
"Yukie! Calm down!" Hide called.
"Pipe down, runt!" Sophia yelled.
"I'll set one card face down and end my turn." Sophia announced.
"Come on, I need something..." Yukie said, taking her next card. "Awesome! I activate this, Treasure of Heaven! Causing us to draw until we each have six cards."
"No problem." Sophia smiled, drawing her cards. "Now, I activate my trap card, Deck Crush!"
"Deck Crush?" Yukie said.
"That must be a new card..." Hide gasped.
"This is a special gift from our dear Quartz, he gave it to me for my birthday." Sophia giggled. "And as long as you have cards in your hand, you can't draw from your deck."
"No problem, I just have to get rid of the cards in my hand to draw on my next turn." Yukie said.
"It won't be that easy for you, I bet your have a level five or higher monster." Sophia smirked.
"Ugh, she's right..." Yukie said in her mind, looking at her Guardian Grarl. "But that's still no problem!"
"How so..." Sophia smirked.
"By using this, Monster Revolution!" Yukie announced.
"No! How could you get such a rare card!" Sophia suddenly gasped in terror.
"Easy, my dad owns a card shop in America, we get all kinds of rare cards." Yukie smiled as the magic card began to glow. "By discarding a trap card, magic card, and monster card from my hand, I can bring back a monster from my graveyard!"
"And I bet I know what it is..." Sophia growled.
"Right! Guardian Grarl! (2500/1000)" Yukie announced as the dinosaur warrior suddenly rose from the ground, roaring as it stood tall. "Next, I'll use this, Gravity Axe! Which will increase my monster's attack power by five hundred! (3000/1000)"
"No..." Sophia growled as the dinosaur warrior grasped the axe, and taking into stance of it's attack position.
"Guardian Grarl! Destroy her Valkyrie Brunhilde now!" Yukie called, pointing.
"Activate Valkyrie Brunhilde's effect!" Sophia called out, pointing forward. The dinosaur charged, raising it's axe into the wait when suddenly Valkyrie Brunhilde rose her shield. The dinosaur slashed and broke half of the shield.
Sophia smiled as her life points lowered to 800 and the Valkyrie still stood standing. "By sacrificing a thousand of Valkyrie Brunhilde's defense points (2300/1000) I can keep her on the field instead of sending her to the graveyard."
"Darn..." Yukie said. "But all it takes is one more attack and you lose the duel!"
"I don't think so, sweet heart." Sophia chuckled.
"Hmm, I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Yukie announced.
"Draw!" Sophia announced, drawing her next card. "Now! it's time to lose, dear little Yukie!"
"What?" Yukie said.
"Now! I'll sacrifice my Valkyrie Dritt to summon this, Hortune Chariot! (0/0)" Sophia announced.
Silence grew and Yukie looked around. "I don't see anything..." Yukie said.
"Up there!" Sophia pointed, raising her finger up. Suddenly there was a trotting of horses. A carriage came flying down attached to two armored horses.
"Next, I'll activate the effect of Sword of Sovite to bring back my Valkyrie Dritt in defense positioned (1600/1000). Now! I'll equip my Hortune Chariot with my Valkyrie Brunhilde!" Sophia announced. Suddenly Valkyrie Brunhilde jumped from her horse, abandoning it for the chariot, standing up with her sword and broken shield. "The effect of my Hortune Chariot decreases my Valkyrie Brunhilde by half of her attack power (1150/1000) but she'll be allowed to attack your life points directly!"
"No!" Yukie gasped.
"Yes! Finally I'll victor over you, you little twit!" Sophia laughed as the valkyrie riding carriage charged forward, the horses neighing as the Valkyrie rose her sword, letting out a battle cry.
"Reveal trap card!" Yukie announced, throwing back her hand. "Attack Guidance Armor!"
"No! No! No!" Sophia whined, stomping her foot with each 'no'.
Yukie's trap card flipped up and began to glow. "The effect of my Attack Guidance Armor will automatically equip to your Valkyrie Dritt, making it your new attack target!" Yukie explained as the carriage stopped right in front of her, then turned toward the orange haired valkyrie. Valkyrie Brunhilde trashed Valkyrie Dritt with her sword, destroying the valkyrie. Because it was in defense mode, Sophia didn't lose any life points.
"So, Sophia, what was that you were talking about, winning?" Yukie smiled.
"Enough! I've had enough of you!" Sophia hissed. "One card face down, and my turn ends!"
"I'm starting to be more like Kyu... I'm not worrying about Sophia at all, I'm just having fun!" Yukie thought.
"Well?" Sophia said impatiently.
"Sophia, you're way too mad to be dueling." Sophia smiled.
"Although this Duel-Out Project seems wrong, you need to learn to just have fun in this game." Yukie said.
"Fun?" Genesis said, up at the field. "Come on, this game is about being serious. A duelist who just wants to have fun usually doesn't become a very good one, mostly because they care less and practically is calling for a loss."
Yukie smiled at Genesis. "I like your style, but still I got to admit, you're wrong." Yukie said.
"What!" Genesis said, crossing her arms and turning around. "Beat her Sophia!"
"And remember! Because of my Deck Crush trap card, you won't be able to draw since you have a card in your hand." Sophia laughed.
"I know, but that's about to change." Yukie smiled.
"What do you mean..." Sophia growled.
"Activate magic card, Cyclone!" Yukie announced.
"No..." Sophia growled.
"This will automatically destroy your Deck Crush trap card!" Yukie explained as her magic card flipped up, spewing a cyclone of wind at the trap, destroying it. "Now I'll draw!"
"Just one card, ha, what would you be able to do with one card." Sophia taunted.
"Activate magic card, Rod of Silence!" Yukie announced.
"Hmm, another equip card for one of your dumb guardians, that ain't going to help you unless you have the right guardian monster. Equipping it to your dumb Guardian won't do any good." Sophia chuckled.
"Who said I was using it on my monster?" Yukie said, smiling.
"What?" Sophia said.
"I chose to equip it to your Valkyrie Brunhilde!" Yukie announced, pointing at the monster.
"What? why!" Sophia said, confused as the staff appeared. The valkyrie grabbed it, holding it to her other hand, her defense power rising to 1500.
"The effect of Rod of Silence will destroy any other magic cards that affect your monster now! So your Hortune Chariot and Sword of Sovite are gone!" Yukie explained.
"No!" Sophia gasped as Valkyrie Brunhilde's sword and carriage vanished. She jumped back onto her own horse, still wielding the staff, her attack points going back to 1800.
"Now! Guardian Grarl, attack her Valkyrie Brunhilde!" Yukie announced. "This is it! Your Valkyrie's effect may be activated, but the damage will still reduce you down!"
"I don't think so." Sophia snickered. "I've saved this previously, activate trap card, Magic Cylinder!"
"Yes! Sophia!" Genesis said, giving a arm thrust.
"With this, you'll automatically lose this duel!" Sophia laughed as the colorful cylinder appeared on the field as the dinosaur warrior charged.
"I knew I'd be running into something like this, so I've saved up a card in my graveyard!" Yukie announced as a trap card suddenly appeared face up on the field.
"How can you do that!" Sophia gasped.
"When I activated my Monster Revolution, I had to discard a magic, trap, and monster card." Yukie explained. "and I discarded just the right card, because when I discarded my trap card, Inhumane Torture Device, I was allowed to remove it from play and activate it when a trap or magic card is activated."
"No..." Sophia growled as the trap card flipped up.
"Now I can negate your Magic Cylinder and destroy it!" Yukie said, pointing. Suddenly the trap card began to glow and Sophia's cylinder smashed and shattered to the ground.
The dinosaur rose it's axe and thrashed it down at the Valkyrie. Valkyrie Brunhilde defended but Sophia's life points reduced to 0.
"I win!" Yukie said, pointing her finger at Sophia.
"No way!" Sophia screamed. "Why is it I always lose to you guys, YOU GUYS! Why! Does someone seem to want to me to lose every time! Why! I can't wait until I get a better deck so I can bring you all down!"
As Sophia ranted on, two security guards came, grabbing her by the arms and literally dragging her away as her face turned red and she kept screaming.
Yukie sighed, knowing she kept her cool. "Looks like I'll be staying." She said happily, looking up at the big screen where her stress level stood at 4, a normal level.
Yukie went back up where Hide stood. "You did good." He said.
"I know! It was great!" Yukie cheered, giving him a high five. "Looks like you're next."
Yukie pointed up at the big screen where it said he and Genesis were to duel. "Looks like she was right." Hide said.
"Don't worry, Hide, just keep your cool!" Yukie smiled as he walked down the stairs to where Genesis waited at a empty duel field. She held her arms crossed and smiled deviously at Hide as he jumped up at the arena.
"I'll be having fun in this duel." Genesis laughed.
