40. Diabound Lady VS Hide
"Well Ryou Hide, are you ready?" Genesis asked.
"I was born ready!" Hide said as his duel disk folded out.
"Duel!" Both Genesis and Hide announced, their life points raising to 4000.
"I'll begin." Genesis announced, drawing her first card of the duel. "First I'll set two cards face down, then summon this monster in defense mode... That ends my turn!"
"Draw!" Hide announced, drawing his next card. "Alright, I've drawn the right card for the job..."
"Looks like Hide's got something..." Yukie thought, watching from the side lines.
"Nooow! I summon this, Sasuke Samurai! (500/800)" Hide announced, slapping the card onto his duel disk, causing a small samurai sword wielding warrior to pop up on the field. "Destroy her face down monster now!"
The warrior charged with his sword above his head, then slashing it down, cutting the hologram face down card in half, revealing a Cyber Pod.
"You've attacked my Cyber Pod! Not only does its effect activates, but its defense points were higher than your weak warrior!" Genesis announced, pointing.
"I don't think so." Hide smiled. "The effect of my Sasuke Samurai automatically destroys your face down, defense monster without damage being taken of effects being activated."
"Errr..." Genesis growled. "Well I guess this could work then, activate face down card, Revenge Sacrifice!"
"Wow, Genesis is just bringing out the big guns today..." Hide thought.
"I'm wasting no time to win! Revenge Sacrifice allows me to sacrifice your Sasuke Samurai so I can summon a new monster!" Genesis said as Hide's monster began to disappear. "Now! I bring forth my Diabound Lady! (1800/1200)"
"This is Genesis' personalized monster..." Hide thought as the long black haired woman with the lower body of a snake's head. "It may be weak now, but its powers can grow with the cards she has in her deck..."
"It's still your move..." Genesis pointed out.
"I can't summon another monster, so I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." Hide announced.
"Draw..." Genesis said, drawing her next card. "I'll activate my second face down card, Reverse Image of Darkness!"
"What's that?" Hide gasped as the magic card began to glow. Suddenly dark clouds formed out of the picture, creating into a totally new Diabound Lady.
"The magic card I just activated automatically creates a new Diabound Lady, giving me double the power!" Genesis explained. "Diabound Ladies! Attack his life points directly!"
"Agh, I got to do something!" Hide gasped as the two snake woman held their hands together, forming two fire balls then firing them toward Hide.
"Reveal trap card!" Hide announced. "Attack Nullification!"
"No..." Genesis hissed as the two fire balls were absorbed into a vortex, then destroyed.
"And that ends your Battle Phase!" Hide said, pointing.
"I'll set one card face down and end my turn..." Genesis announced.
"Draw!" Hide announced, drawing his next card and glancing at it. "Awesome! Since you have two more monsters than I do, I can summon this, Fiend Megacyber! (2200/1200)"
"No..." Genesis hissed. As the giant robe wearing, yellow armored warrior appeared on the field, it's fists clenching with superiority.
"Fiend Megacyber, destroy her Diabound Lady!" Hide announced, pointing.
The warrior charged forward, punching it's fist through one of the black haired women's snake head, causing the whole monster to explode into pieces.
"Agh no!" Genesis growled as her life points reduced to 3600.
"I'll end my turn now!" Hide announced.
"Draw..." Genesis announced with a growl. "Now this'll be interesting, I'll activate this, Flame Wrecking!"
"Not this..." Hide gasped.
"This magic card automatically equips to my Diabound Lady, giving her one thousand life points! (2800/1200)" Genesis explained as the half woman, half snake roared, causing flames to burst up around her body. "And each time you summon a monster, I can discard a card from my hand to shift it into defense position."
"No, now it'll be impossible to attack, her Diabound Lady has the effect to automatically shift a monster it's attacking into attack mode, it's impossible to avoid any damage to my life points now..." Hide thought.
"Diabound Lady! Destroy his Fiend Megacyber!" Genesis announced, pointing.
The Diabound Lady opened her hands in a violent manner, her hair flailing, and a hiss came out of her mouth, causing the snake head to send a stream of fire at the warrior. The warrior screamed as it burned in the flames, reducing Hide's life points to 3400.
"And that's not all!" Genesis said with a loud evil voice. "I activate this card, Flaming Wrath!"
"What's... that..." Hide said, feeling something heavy on his back. The way Genesis expressed her activation of the card gave Yukie and Hide chills.
"This card allows me to sacrifice my Diabound Lady, dealing direct damage to you by half of her attack points!" Genesis laughed evilly as the snake woman shifted into a ghost, it charged toward Hide, crashing through him.
"Gagh!" Hide cried out, grabbing his heart and falling to his knee. "That pain..."
"Heh..." Genesis smiled as Hide's life points reduced to 2000. "This ends my turn."
"Draw..." Hide announced, drawing his next card.
Hide stood back up, holding his card. "You have no monsters left on your field, you're left for a direct attack..." Hide said, gripping his card.
"I don't think so." Genesis chuckled. "I'll activate my face down card, Rope of Life!"
"No..." Hide growled as Genesis' only face down card flipped up, revealing her trap card. The card picture suddenly sent out a round of ropes, digging into the ground and pulling the snake woman back on the field.
"By discarding all cards in my hand, my Diabound Lady returns to the field, but more powerful!" Genesis explained, discarding her hand, but the card she drew. She seemed to smile at one particular card. Suddenly the snake woman's life points rose to 2600.
"I have nothing that'll help, all I can do is keep my defenses up..." Hide thought, holding his card. "I'll summon Marauding Captain in defense mode (400/1200)"
Suddenly a armored warrior appeared, holding a sword in on hand and shielding himself with his free arm. "And by summoning that monster, I'm allowed to summon another level four monster, so I'll summon Big Shield Guardna in defense mode also (2600/100). That ends my turn."
"Draw!" Genesis announced, drawing her next card. "Now! Diabound Lady, destroy his Marauding Captain!"
"No!" Hide gasped as the snake woman charged forward.
"The effect of my Diabound Lady automatically forces your monster into attack position!" Genesis said as the Marauding Captain stood up, charging at the snake woman with his sword in the air.
Both monsters clashed, the snake woman pinned the Marauding Captain down to the ground and the snake head thrashed it, destroying it easily.
"My monster..." Hide groaned as his life points reduced to 600.
"That ends my turn, you really aren't showing me your fullest, you're only worrying about my monster." Genesis smiled. "Is it the frustration of your loss that's bothering you?"
"I'll never give in to frustration, this is just a game, and like every other game I'm suppose to have fun!" Hide said, drawing his next card. "Just like Kyu says, relax!"
"Hmph..." Genesis said as Hide smiled at his drawn card.
"Now I'll activate this, Iron Gates!" Hide announced, placing the magic card on the field. Suddenly a large set of iron gates appeared, the gates were rusted but there was a heavenly light shining behind it. "By it's effect, I can sacrifice my Big Shield Guardna so I can summon a Iron Knight, Gearfried! (1800/1600)"
"Ok..." Genesis said as the iron gates opened, taking in the defensive warrior. The iron knight then jumped out, ready for attack.
"But that's not all, I'll then activate this, Remove Restraints! By sacrificing my Iron Knight, Gearfried, I can summon a more stronger monster!" Hide said. Suddenly the open areas in the warrior's armor began to shine, releasing tons of light. Suddenly the armor fell off, revealing a human with long hair and huge muscles. "Sword Master, Naked Gearfried! (2600/2300)"
Genesis sarcastically yawned. "I've seen this monster in action, but without a equip magic card it's useless, besides, it's equal strength to my Diabound Lady, it won't do you good." She said.
"I've got the right card." Hide said, holding up the last card in his hand. "Now I activate this, Sword of Lightning!"
"No..." Genesis hissed as a long sword appeared, letting off streams of electricity. The warrior grabbed the hilt, swinging it in the air, posing for an attack.
"With this, it gives my Sword Master a boost of eight hundred attack points!" Hide explained as the warrior's attack strength rose to 3400. "Also, the effect of Sword Master, Naked Gearfried is activated, it allows me to destroy a monster on your side of the field every time I equip a card to it!"
"My Diabound Lady..." Genesis gasped as it vanished into thin air.
"Now! Attack her life points directly!" Hide announced, pointing.
"Not so fast!" Genesis said, holding up a fist. "I still have a trap card."
"No you don't, your field is empty..." Hide said, confused.
"Your wrong." Genesis smiled. Suddenly a disgusting cell formed onto the field. "This is my Heavenly Virus of Resurrection..."
"But how can you activate it now?" Hide asked.
"When I activated my Rope of Life trap, I had to send all cards in my hand, to my graveyard, but when my virus was sent to my graveyard, its effect was activated, equipping to my Diabound Lady, it gave her an extra life, allowing her to return to the field after she gets destroyed!" Genesis explained as the horrible looking cell transformed into Diabound Lady (1800/1200). "So my Diabound Lady takes your attack!"
The warrior stabbed it's sword straight through the woman's snake head, causing the whole monster to explode into pieces, reducing Genesis' life points to 2000.
Hide and Genesis glared each other down. "This has been a tense duel so far..." Yukie thought. "Hide's proving himself to be the tougher duelist and Genesis is also showing no mercy..."
"Your best friend may be a high ranked duelist, but I exceed his level of dueling." Genesis smiled. "And you, what have you done... Defeat a high ranked Osiris Red student, and defeat a Rare Hunter, not much I'd say."
"I don't need to be at a high rank to show that I'm no weak person." Hide said.
"Silly fool." Genesis giggled. "I will show you that rank does matter."
"Bring it on..." Hide smiled. "I'm enjoying this duel the way Kyu enjoys his duels."
