72. Quartz VS Rosie, Return of a Mistress
Quartz sat in his class room, thinking to himself as he looked at the cards of Sophia and Genesis, both their souls trapped inside when suddenly the teacher came by.
"How's the project going?" The Obelisk Blue teacher asked.
"Fine, Miss. Yura... But I've already done my half. I'm waiting for Violet to show..." Quartz said, hiding the two cards in his book.
"Well you've got until tomorrow night to turn it in. If not then you get an F for this class. I'm really surprised, because this will be your first F ever for you and Violet." Miss. Yura said, walking off.
Quartz sighed as the bell rang. Everyone rushed out and Quartz headed tot he cafeteria. He saw, Kyu, Hide, and Yukie at a table and joined them.
"How's the project going?" Kyu asked.
"WHY CAN'T PEOPLE LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT THE PROJECT!" Quartz burst out, yelling into the air as he dropped his books.
Everyone stared as Kyu and Hide fell backwards, alarmed from the out burst. Quartz gathered himself and sighed. "Sorry..." He apologized, bowing slightly.
"Don't worry! People always get into a nervous wreck on important school assignments." Yukie said happily as Quartz sat down.
"It's just Violet and I were doing this project together... About Ancient Egypt. She knew what she had to do, but I haven't seen her for a few days. And the project is due tomorrow and I have my half done." Quartz said.
"Did you ever try contacting her?" Kyu asked, sitting up.
"I tried. Went to her room myself but she never answered the door." Quartz said.
"What about Doxx? He's roommates with her, ever talk to him?" Hide asked
"Nope, Doxx got his own room now. He did so well on an exam that he was granted his own room in the Ra Yellow dorm." Yukie said, holding up a finger. "When's the last time you talked to her?"
"Just a few days ago... Though I could question the fact why she uses the perfume all the time..." Quartz said.
"Perfume?" Kyu said, raising an eye brow.
"Other than that, the last time I talked to her was the day Doxx had defeated a Killer 9 member. That day that Violet got that package." Quartz said.
"Yeah... What was up with that?" Hide said.
"Weird. She did say it had a weird scent on it, like perfume..." Yukie said.
"Well I'm going to go check on her again..." Quartz said.
"Well good luck." Kyu said as Quartz got up and left.
Quartz passed a few Obelisk Blue students, walking out of his dorm and into the Ra Yellow. People starred at Quartz, each student eyeing him.
"Quartz, peh, he doesn't deserve to come to this school. After he tried to bring down Seto Kaiba..." A student said. Quartz sighed as he kept moving on.
Quartz arrived to Violet's room. He could see at the bottom of the door that the lights were on. "Finally..." He said, knocking on the door.
After a few seconds there was no answer. "Violet?" Quartz said, knocking on the door again, no answer.
Quartz stood there for a minute, sighing. He turned to walk off, but then looked back. "VIOLET I KNOW YOUR N THERE! ANSWER ME!" Quartz hollered, kicking at the door. Suddenly the door shattered, breaking to pieces.
Quartz looked in shock. The wide set room filled with vines, sucking the life out of the wooden furniture. "What the hell!" Quartz said in shock.
He heard footsteps and saw a lovely lady dressed in a red sparkling dress and tube top. She wore long green gloves and smiled at Quartz.
"You!" Quartz growled, pointing at her.
"Yes, I know you too..." The woman laughed.
"Yeah, you're Rosie... But how did you come back if you were destroyed..." Quartz growled.
Rosie simply smiled, raising her hand and snapping her fingers. Instantly vines grew, totally covering the door way and windows. "I may have been a simple flower, but that doesn't mean I can't reproduce myself..." She smiled. "Having taken over Anjokun's body with my spores of heavenly scents, I was able to bring myself back to life after Von Bourg stopped using his powers to keep me alive..."
"That's the guy that Doxx dueled..." Quartz growled. "Where's Violet..."
"She's here. You're looking at her." Rosie smiled. "She took one whiff of my spores and instantly I began to grow around her."
"That perfume she smelled... It was you... And those deck of cards..." Quartz said.
"Are actually mine." Rosie smiled, picking up the duel disk and deck from Violet's desk. "I've been given a second chance and you're my first target. I'll get my revenge on Kyu-Haru for what he did to me..."
"Not if I stop you first..." Quartz growled.
"If I fail now, I won't be able to take over the school..." Rosie said sadly.
"All the better to stop you..." Quartz said.
"So are we gonna get this duel started or not?" Rosie smiled.
Quartz looked around. "I would if I had my Duel Disk!" Quartz said.
"Upper cabinet, sweet little Violet always remembers to keep an extra duel disk around..." Rosie smiled sweetly as Quartz walked over, taking the duel disk.
Both Quartz and Rosie faced each other in Violet's wide room, big enough to host a single duel. Quartz slid his deck into his deck holster, turning on the duel disk, causing it to fold out.
"Duel!" Rosie and Quartz both announced as their life points rose to 4000.
"I'll begin, draw!" Rosie announced, drawing the first card of the duel. "I'll set two cards face down. Then summon a monster in face down defense mode and end my turn!"
"Draw!" Quartz announced, drawing his first card. He smiled at the first card he drew, still holding it in his hand. "Now! I activate this, Attack Tower!"
"Attack Tower?" Rosie said as a giant tower rose up.
"Even though this is a field magic card, It can still be counted as a monster with a defense of three thousand!" Quartz said. "Next, I'll summon this, Retrained Elven Swordsman! (1400/1200)"
Suddenly a elvish swordsman appeared, wielding a long sword. "I'll then activate my Attack Tower's special effect, allowing me to equip one warrior-type monster to it! So I'll equip my Retrained Elven Swordsman to it!" Quartz announced.
Suddenly the swordsman jumped up into the tower, taking control of a cannon which pointed down at Rosie. "Heh..." Rosie smiled.
"With my warrior equipped to it it's attack points are halved (700/1200). But now it'll allow me to attack your life points directly each Battle Phase!" Quartz smiled. "Now! Retrained Elven Swordsman, attack her life points directly!"
"Reveal trap card!" Rosie announced, pointing her hand at one of her face down cards. "DNA Surgery!"
"What!" Quartz said in shock.
"By selecting one type of monster, all monsters on the field will be that type of monster. And I select Insects..." Rosie smiled.
"No! Then my Attack Tower is useless..." Quartz growled as the Retrained Elven Swordsman grew antenna's and a giant insect-like claw. The swordsman instantly teleported back to the ground from the Attack Tower.
"Looks like your dinky little tower is useless..." Rosie giggled cutely.
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn..." Quartz announced. "I'll have to take a new approach..."
"Draw!" Rosie announced, drawing her next card. "Now! Activate face down card, Monarch Wings!"
"No..." Quartz growled. "She's going to try to summon a powerful monster on my field..."
"That's right..." Rosie smiled. "By sacrificing my face down monster, I can specially summon Perfect Cocoon to your side of the field in defense mode! (3000/0)"
Suddenly a cocoon began to materialize to Quartz's field, attaching itself to the ground as it began to pulsate.
"You won't be able to get rid of the cocoon at all since it can't be sacrificed or attacked in battle. But in five turns you'll have to deal with a new monster." Rosie smiled. "But my turn's not over. While activating Monarch Wings, I had to sacrifice my face-down monster, which was Grasshopper! And by it's effect, I can special summon another insect type monster from my hand!"
"No..." Quartz growled.
"Now low and behold! Insect Queen! (2200/2400)" Rosie announced as a giant insect rose to the field, roaring at Quartz. "By her effect, she gains two hundred attack points for each insect monster on the field! Thanks to my DNA Surgery, all monsters are insects, even your 'amazing' Attack Tower!"
"Damn..." Quartz growled, looking at the spider-like legs his tower sprouted Insect Queen's attack strength rose to 2800.
"I'll then summon this, Flying Mantis! (1500/1800) In order for Insect Queen to attack, she needs a sacrifice. So now! I sacrifice my Flying Mantis so Insect Queen can attack!" Rosie announced as her mantis transformed into green energy, energizing her Insect Queen. "Now attack his Retrained Elven Swordsman!"
The insect bashed into Quartz's Retrained Elven Swordsman, bumping him aside as Quartz's life points reduced to 2600. "Thanks to the effect of your Retrained Elven Swordsman, it can't be destroyed by any monster with a attack strength of nineteen hundred or more." Rosie smiled deviously. "Also! Each time Insect Queen destroys a monster she produces a Insect Token! (100/100)"
Quartz looked in disgust as the Insect Queen laid a gooey egg on the floor. "Ain't it beautiful..." Rosie chuckled as Insect Queen's attack strength rose to 3000. "My turn ends!"
"Draw!" Quartz announced, drawing for the third card of his hand.
"That's just one out of five turns down until my Perfect Cocoon hatches..." Rosie smiled as the cocoon on Quartz's field twitched.
"I better make this fast..." Quartz growled.
"You hope, or I'll just have to find another devastating way to win..." Rosie chuckled. "Such a cute little boy too..."
"Errr..." Quartz growled. "Now! I'll summon this, Magnet Warrior, Sigma Plus! (1800/1500)"
"Oooh interesting... But too bad my DNA Surgery changes it into an insect monster!" Rosie smiled as the orange mechanical warrior materialized to the field, wielding a long poll and shield. Suddenly giant moth wings exploded out of the warrior's back. "And with that, it further increases the attack of my Insect Queen!"
Rosie smiled heavenly as her insect's attack strength rose to 3200.
"Now! I'll activate my trap card, Magnet Force, Minus!" Quartz announced. "Once activated, it equips to your Insect Queen, changing her into a Minus Monster!"
"Minus monster?" Rosie said in confusion as her Insect Queen began to let off electricity.
"I'm introducing to you a new type of strategy, Rosie." Quartz smiled. "In this strategy, Minus and Plus monsters don't work well so they must eliminate each other. Due to my Magnet Warrior, Sigma Plus, he must always attack the Minus Monster on your field."
"Heh, big deal, my Insect Queen is way stronger than your dinky magnet warrior." Rosie smiled.
"On the contrary! Activate magic card, Northern Pole!" Quartz announced as his magic card flipped up. "By sacrificing my Retrained Elven Swordsman, my Magnet Warrior, Sigma Plus gains my warrior's attack points!"
"No!" Rosie growled as Magnet Warrior, Sigma Plus grew to 3200.
"With one more monster gone, your Insect Queen's attack points lower!" Quartz shouted as Insect Queen's attack strength reduced to 3000. "Now! Attack!"
Both monsters began to let off electricity, forcing them both to attack. Quartz's magnet warrior slashed through Insect Queen as she charged through it, cutting the insect into two halves, destroying it.
Rosie growled as her life points reduced to 3800. "With that, I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Quartz announced.
"You'll pay for that... but it's just one step closer to bring forth my ultimate monster with the Perfect Cocoon I set up o your field" Rosie growled. "Draw!"
Rosie smiled at the card she drew. "Lucky for me, I still have my Insect Token..." She smiled.
"No... She's going to..." Quartz gasped.
"I sacrifice my Insect Token to summon this, Insect Princess! (1900/1200)" Rosie announced as an armored lady appeared with the head of a butterfly. "By summoning this creature, all insect monsters on your field switch to attack mode!"
"No!" Quartz growled.
"Heh, even the Perfect Cocoon will move into attack mode (0/3000) along with your Attack Tower (0/3000)" Rosie smiled. "It'll be like attack you directly. But with your Magnet Warrior, things can get troublesome... Now! Insect Princess, attack and destroy his Magnet Warrior, Sigma Plus!"
The insect princess jumped into the air, opening her hands as a swirl of sparkling light reigned down on Quartz's orange mechanical warrior, destroying it and reducing his life points to 2500.
"And with that battle done, Insect Princess gains five hundred attack points each time she destroys an insect-type monster!" Rosie announced as Insect Princess' ATK rose to 2400. "But I'm not done yet! I'll further activate this, Cell Cloning!"
"She's gonna attack again!" Quartz shouted in his mind.
"This card allows my Insect Princess to attack again if you have a monster of the same type as my monster, luckily I do!" Rosie laughed. "Insect Princess, attack and destroy his Attack Tower!"
The princess charged forward, crashing through the wooden tower walls, causing it to break apart and fall. Quartz growled as his life points reduced to 600.
"With that my Insect Princess grows stronger!" rosie laughed evilly as her monster grew to 2900. "And finally, my turn ends..."
"And the cocoon grows stronger..." Quartz said, looking at the cocoon twitch even more. Quartz drew his next card. "I'll activate this, Pot of Greed!"
Quartz quickly drew his two cards, looking down at them. "Now! I'll activate this, Magnet Conductor, Plus!" Quartz announced. "Which allows me to bring back a Plus Monster back to my hand!"
"Hmm... Planning on bringing back that useless monster?" Rosie smiled
"No, I plan to sacrifice it..." Quartz growled.
"Wha?" Rosie said.
"I'll sacrifice Magnet Warrior, Sigma Plus and Magnet Warrior, Sigma Minus both from my hand to summon this..." Quartz announced, sending both cards into his graveyard holster. "Super Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus! (2700/2000)"
"Pretty long name. It better be worth the fight..." Rosie smiled as the giant machine formed on the field, wielding two large cannons on its shoulder.
"It will be..." Quartz smiled. "Once summoned, it gains half the attack strength of your Insect Princess!"
"No!" Rosie growled as Quartz's machine's attack strength rose to 4150.
"No! Super Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus, attack and destroy her Insect Princess!" Quartz commanded, pointing forward.
The machine crouched down, firing it's two cannons at the Insect Princess, tearing her to bits and destroying her. Rosie growled as her life points reduced to 2550.
"With that my turn ends..." Quartz announced with no other cards in his hand.
Rosie drew her next card smiling. "One more turn left then this duel is over..." She smiled. "I'll set one card face down and end my turn..."
Quartz drew his next card. "You made a bad decision to be not defending yourself..." Quartz smiled.
"Heh..." Rosie smiled.
Quartz felt his spine chill. "She must be that confident in her cocoon..." Quartz thought to himself. Quartz drew his next card, it wasn't helpful to him, but now he had his shot to win. "Super Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus! Attack her life points directly!"
"Activate trap card!" Rosie announced "Magic Arm Shield!"
"Argh..." Quartz growled.
"I'll take control of your defending Cocoon, using it as my last shield..." Rosie smiled as the cocoon teleported to her side of the field.
Quartz's machine warrior crouched down, firing another blast. The blast hit the cocoon, but it remained in tack. Quartz growled as his life points reduced to 300.
"This duel is so close..." Quartz growled. "My turn ends..."
"This duel is over..." Rosie smiled, drawing her next card. "Five turns have passed since I've forced Perfect Cocoon on your field, now it'll hatch!"
Suddenly the cocoon began to rumble on Quartz's field. Two beautiful wide butterfly wings emerged. The insect rose up, flapping its wings, making a loud chirp as it rose to the field.
"I've unleashed Perfect Poison Butterfly! (2500/2300)" Rosie smiled.
"Err..." Quartz growled, knowing now Rosie was now going to win.
"it's effect will devastate your monsters. Since my DNA Surgery still keeps all your monsters insects, my Perfect Poison Butterfly will reduce all your insect monsters' attack points by half!" Rosie explained as Quartz's Super Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus reduced to 1400.
"Oh yeah..." Quartz growled, looking at the two antenna's sticking out of the machine's head.
"Next, I'll activate my last card, Raise Dead! Which I use to bring back Insect Princess! (1900/1200)" Rosie announced.
"No!" Quartz gasped as the princess with a butterfly head materialized to the field.
"This duel ends now! Insect Queen, destroy his Super Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus now!" Rosie commanded, pointing.
The insect princess dove forward, crashing through the robot, causing it to explode. Quartz screamed in shock as his life points reduced to 0.
Rosie smiled as Quartz collapsed on his knee. "Heh, you were an excellent person to test out my new insect deck on." Rosie smiled.
"What are you going to do with me..." Quartz growled.
Rosie smiled deviously. "You'll make me a good hostage to get what I want... Kyu-Haru..." She said as Quartz began to get entangled in vines.
"No..." Quartz growled weakly as he was held face up on the ground, unable to break free. Rosie laughed menacingly, finally her goal will be brought to life.
PREVIEW
Kyu: Quartz's been captured! Finally we figure out why, Rosie's back and has taken over Violet's body. In order for her to release Quartz and Violet together, I have to face her. Obviously her insect deck was way stronger than I had thought. My XYZ Blast Cannon has failed and now I have no other option but to go the extra level. Next chapter is Hallelujah! Twingle Five Star Infinity! See you there!
