84. Genesis VS Sophia, Dueling With Love
Kyu, Yukie, and Hide rushed back into the stadium where Sophia stood on her side of the field, awaiting for Genesis to show up.
"Well look whose just in time." Doxx smiled, sitting next to Quartz and Violet.
"What did we miss?" Yukie asked.
"Nothing really." Doxx smiled. "Although it looks like Sophia is getting impatient, which is kind of amusing."
"Ha!" Kyu laughed. "Really though I'd like to see the outcome of this duel. Genesis and Sophia are best friends and to have them duel will be exciting!"
"Don't count on it." Quartz suddenly said.
"What? What's wrong?" Hide asked.
"Genesis... Has turned a new leaf." Quartz said, sighing.
"Ok..." Kyu said, confused.
The door on the other side of the stadium pushed open, letting in a wave of fog. Within, Genesis stood there, wearing a loose jacket with the number 9 printed across it. She also wore a head band which said "9-Haru" on it with cute pink hearts.
"Oh dear!" Yukie said, chuckling.
"It's about time! Genesis! Where the hell have you been!" Sophia screamed.
"I was getting ready for my big duel!" Genesis chuckled, taking out a small flag with Kyu's name printed on it.
"What is with all this crap!" Sophia said.
"Sophia, darling, I'm sorry but I've turned a new way! I work for Kyu-haru! My one and only love!" Genesis said with starry eyes and looking at Kyu.
"Agh!" Kyu gasped, trying to escape from his seat.
"Kyu-Haru! You got to be kidding me!" Sophia yelled.
"No it's true! All his dueling, his skills, and his looks! They are all what I look for in a man! And this duel is t represent the almighty Kyu-Haru!" Genesis said, throwing her flag away and taking her deck out, sliding into the deck holster of her duel disk.
"Genesis! But I thought we were friends!" Sophia said.
"Don't worry, girl, we still are. I just want to win so I can show how much I'm dedicated!" Genesis smiled, giving her a victory sign with her hand.
"You've definitely lost your cool, girl." Sophia sighed. "But anyways, on with this duel!"
Sophia slid her deck into her duel disk, causing it to turn on and fold out. "Duel!" Genesis and Sophia announced as their life points rose to 4000.
"I'll start by activating this, Cost Down!" Genesis announced, flashing the card to Sophia. "Which reduces all levels of monsters in my hand by two! So now, I can summon this, Diabound Lady! (1800/1200)"
Suddenly a beautiful brunette woman appeared to the field, but her legs were the head of a snake. "Heh." Sophia thought. "Since we were kids, we've been using the same deck. But when does a chance like dueling each other ever come up? We each know what's in each others deck so it's fair game."
"I'll then set two cards face down and end my turn!" Genesis announced.
"My turn, draw!" Sophia announced, drawing first card, then smiling. "Well it looks like this duel will be over before anyone knows it!"
"Huh?" Genesis said.
"I'll first place a card face down, then I'll activate this! WalkurenRitt!" Sophia announced, holding the card in the air. Suddenly rose petals began to fall down from the ceiling. Everyone looked in awe and Sophia smiled at the response from the audience.
"Hmmm, same old tactic." Genesis smiled.
"Now! I summon Valkyrie Altest (1600/1600), Valkyrie Sovite (1600/1600), and Valkyrie Dritt! (1000/1600)" Sophia announced as the three female warriors riding horse formed.
"Your cards never seem to get any newer." Genesis smiled.
"Like wise!" Sophia smiled. "I'll activate Valkyrie Sovite's special ability! Allowing me to remove your Diabound Lady from play!"
Genesis only smiled as she watched her snake woman vanish in a swirl of wind. "Also, since I removed a monster from your field, my Valkyrie Altest's effect activates! It increases her attack strength to match up to your Diabound Lady!"
Sophia smiled deviously as her green haired Valkyrie grew to 1800. "And also, Valkyrie Dritt's effect activates! Every time a card is removed from play, Valkyrie Dritt gains one hundred attack points!" Sophia explained as her short orange haired Valkyrie grew to 1100.
"So now I guess this duel is over for you!" Sophia smiled, clenching her hands to her face. "I'm finally going to win!"
"Make your move!" Genesis said, impatiently. "Don't worry! Kyu-Haru! I know I can do it!"
Kyu blushed, sinking down in his seat, trying to hide himself. "Aww come on! Encourage your lover!" Hide laughed, poking Kyu.
"Go Genesis..." Kyu said in a monotone expression, slowly lifting his fist in the air.
"Your pathetic!" Sophia growled. "Valkyrie Sovite! Attack her life points directly!"
"Not so fast!" Genesis announced, holding her hand forward. "I'll activate my trap card, Future Bonds!"
"What!" Sophia said in shock.
"I can activate this when I have no monster cards in my hand or graveyard! I can draw one card and if the card is a monster card, I can special summon it to the field!" Genesis explained, drawing her next card. She suddenly gave a cute squeal. "Oooh! Lucky!"
"What is it!" Sophia growled.
"I'll summon this! X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)" Genesis announced, slapping the card onto her duel disk, causing the machine to form on the field.
"X HEAD CANNON!" Hide said in shock as well as everyone else.
"Well she's really proving her love to you, Kyu! She's copying your deck!" Doxx laughed, nudging the depressed Kyu.
"How'd you get such cards!" Sophia hissed.
"Easy." Genesis smirked. "Remember when dear Quartz copied Kyu, thinking he can defeat him with his own cards? Well I asked Quartz if I could borrow them. He seemed more than happy to let me have them!"
"You're wrong, girl!" Sophia growled.
"Yeah well it's my advantage and your fault for not thinking of something before." Genesis smiled charmingly.
"Valkyrie Altest! Attack X Head Cannon now!" Sophia commanded. The machine and Valkyrie clashed, but since they both had the same attack points, they ended up destroying each other. "And now! Valkyrie Dritt, attack her life points directly!"
The orange haired Valkyrie kicked her horse up, charing forward. The woman slashed her sword at Genesis. Genesis screamed in pain as her life points reduced to 2900.
"Heh, once your turn ends, your Valkyrie's will return to your deck anyway!" Genesis smiled.
"No they won't." Sophia smiled. "At least not until I use this! Now activate magic card, Mischief Goddess of Time!"
"What!" Genesis gasped.
"This card allows me to skip my end phase, then your entire next turn, then my draw, standby, and main phase so I can gear up for my next battle phase!" Sophia explained. "So now! Valkyrie Sovite, attack her life points directly!"
"Not so fast!" Genesis yelled. "I'll activate my second trap card, Attack Guidance Armor!"
"What!" Sophia gasped.
"With this, I'll equip it to your Valkyrie Dritt, making her the attack target of every monster on the field!" Genesis smiled as a ugly chest armor plate formed on Valkyrie Dritt.
The pink haired Valkyrie moved her horse, facing the orange haired Valkyrie, then slashed her sword. Sophia growled as her Valkyrie was destroyed, reducing her life points to 3500.
"My turn ends." Sophia growled with no other cards in her hand.
"Draw!" Genesis announced happily, then holding up a victory signal. "This one's for you! Kyu-Haru!"
"Ugh I'm probably the laughing stock of the school already..." Kyu groaned, blushing.
"Now! I activate this, Pot of Greed!" Genesis announced. "Which lets me draw two more cards!"
Genesis quickly drew her two cards and smiled deviously. "Enough of the wait, let's see what you have!" Sophia growled, denying the fact that Genesis has really turned to the side of good.
"I'll activate this, Frontline Base!" Genesis announced as her magic card flipped up. "This card allows me to summon a union monster during each of my main phase! And I'll use its effect to my advantage and summon this, W Wing Catapult! (1300/1500)"
"That's right. Since she took Quartz's old deck, she now has the V and W monsters. Wicked!" Kyu thought. "I always thought those cards were neat."
"Now! I'll normally summon this, V Tiger Jet!" Genesis announced as a tiger shaped jet materialized to the field. "And now! V Tiger Jet, W Wing Catapult, combine!"
The two machines flew into the air, forming together into a single flying contraption. "This creates VW Tiger Catapult! (2000/2100)" Genesis introduced.
"Errr, you're a damn fool! Genesis!" Sophia growled. "Your ruining yourself by not sticking with your original deck!"
"Heh, maybe you need a change too, Sophia!" Genesis smirked. "For the longest, I thought being the original me was cool, but for the whole time I was a laughing stock. I took the time to reflect on myself. And I've decided I want to be a person everyone can like!"
"You're still a fool!" Sophia growled.
"That's what you think! VW Tiger Catapult, attack and destroy her Valkyrie Sovite!" Genesis called, pointing forward.
The jet fired a round of missiles at Sophia's pink haired Valkyrie, destroying it easily and reducing her life points to 3100.
"The ends my turn!" Genesis announced with no other cards at hand.
"Draw..." Sophia growled, drawing her next card. "I'll activate this, Treasure of Heaven! Forcing us to each draw six cards each!"
Genesis narrowed her eyes. "She might gain an advantage from that but nothing will stop me from succeeding in representing Kyu-Haru!" Genesis announced, putting her hand to her heart, then drawing her six cards, Sophia did the same.
"I'll set a monster in defense mode and end my turn." Sophia announced.
"My turn, draw!" Genesis announced. "Now! I discard a card from my hand to activate VW Tiger Catapult's ability! I can shift your defending monster into attack position!"
Sophia growled as her face-down horizontal monster card flipped up, revealing an evil looking witch with three eyes. "Witch of The Black Forest? (1200/1100)"
"That's right." Sophia growled.
"Very well then! VW Tiger Catapult, attack and destroy her Witch of The Black Forest!" Genesis announced, pointing.
The tiger catapult launched two missiles into the air, each one falling down, exploding around the area of the witch, destroying her and reducing Sophia's life points to 100.
"Wow, Genesis is taking a way good advantage." Kyu said, surprised.
"Don't forget, my Witch of The Black Forest comes with an effect! When destroyed, I can take a monster card from my deck with the defense of fifteen hundred or less and add it to my hand!" Sophia explained, searching her deck for a card. She smiled, adding a card she had chosen to her hand. "That's not all! I'll then summon Valkyrie Malice! (2400/1500)"
"What! It's still my turn!" Genesis growled growled as well armored, black haired, horse riding woman appeared, wielding a giant shield and sword.
"Yeah, but Valkyrie Malice allows me to summon it when I added it to my hand outside my draw phase!" Sophia smiled.
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." Genesis growled.
"Draw!" Sophia announced. "Now! I activate my Valkyrie's special ability!"
"What!" Genesis said in shock.
"When I draw an equipment card, I'm allowed to draw another card! And if it's another equip card, I draw again!" Sophia smiled, revealing the card she drew to be an equip card. "And the first I draw, Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade!"
"Uhh! That's Hide's card too!" Kyu gasped. "Heh, maybe I ain't the only one being copied here."
Kyu chuckled, nudging Hide. "You wish." Hide laughed.
Suddenly the giant golden sword materialized into Valkyrie Malice's hands, increasing her attack strength to 2700. "And I draw again!" Sophia announced, drawing her next card and showing it to Genesis. "And it's Sword of Dark Destruction!"
The golden sword in the Valkyrie's hand then turned into a giant purple and black sword which let off a dark essence, increasing Valkyrie Malice's attack strength to 3100.
"Next card!" Sophia announced, drawing her next card. "Devil Axe!"
Suddenly the sword which Valkyrie Malice held transformed into a giant heavy axe, increasing her attack strength to 4100.
"And my next card!" Sophia announced, drawing a fourth. "Sword of Dragon Soul!"
Suddenly the sword transformed once again, but into a long studded sword, increasing Valkyrie Malice's attack to 4800.
"Holy cow!" Hide said. "That's a lot of equip cards!"
"How does it feel now?" Sophia smirked. "Now! Valkyrie Malice, attack and destroy her VW Tiger Catapult!"
The Valkyrie let out a battle cry, kicking her horse to charge. " No!" Genesis screamed as the Valkyrie slashed her long sword across the machine, cutting it into pieces and destroying it.
Genesis looked down as her life points reduced to 100. But then looked up, smiling. "Like Kyu-Haru says! This is just a game and I'm having fun!" Genesis said happily.
"He's gotten to your head! Snap out of it!" Sophia yelled.
"This is me! This is what I chose to be! And if you can't accept it, you aren't a very good friend!" Genesis said, pointing.
Sophia only smirked. "I'll end my turn then." Sophia smirked, knowing this duel is hers.
"My turn, draw!" Genesis announced happily. "I'll start by activating my trap card, Call of The Haunted! Which I use to bring back VX Tiger Catapult! (2000/2100)"
"Heh, that won't do you any good!" Sophia smirked.
"It will when I activate my other face down card. Now go! Raise Dead!" Genesis announced. "I'll use it to bring back X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)"
"Ah! She's going to do it!" Kyu said, excitedly.
"Now! I'll activate the ability of Frontline Base, and summon Y Dragon Head! (1500/1600)" Genesis announced as a red mechanically dragon formed on the field. "I'll then normally summon Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1300)"
"No!" Sophia gasped.
"Now! X Head Cannon, Y Dragon Head, and Z Metal Caterpillar, combine!" Genesis announced, pointing forward. The three machines launched into the air, forming together into a single tank machine. "Go! XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)"
"Wow! Is that what I really look like in battle?" Kyu said, everyone else laughed. "I'm serious!"
"I'm not done yet! Now! VW Tiger Catapult, XYZ Dragon Cannon, combine!" Genesis hollered. The two mega machines launched into the air, falling apart, but connecting together into one giant machine. The machine landed on the ground with a hard thud, its red metal wings expanding and its mechanical eyes glowing. "Go! VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon! (3000/2800)"
"Ah!" Sophia said in shock.
"Now! I activate VtoZ's effect, allowing me to remove your Valkyrie Malice from play!" Genesis explained, pointing as Sophia's Valkyrie vanished out of no where.
"Alright! Go Genesis!" Kyu shouted from the bleacher.
"Heh, nice to see your attitude has changed, Kyu-Haru." Doxx smiled.
"This is awesome!" Kyu smiled.
"Thank you! Kyu-Haru!" Genesis smiled happily, waving back at Kyu. She then turned to face Sophia. "Now! VtoZ, attack Sophia's life points directly!"
The giant machine lowered its row of cannons, facing Sophia, then blasting two streams of energy at her. Sophia screamed loudly as the blast caused her hair to flail wildly, reducing her life points to 0.
Sophia fell onto her knees, clenching her fists. "Yay! Genesis!" Yukie cheered as everyone else in the audience cheered also.
Genesis stood proudly in the arena, waving to the cheering people.
Back in Seto Kaiba's office, Kaiba was on his computer, typing away. He seemed very into what he was looking at, then was startled. "It can't be..." He said. "Godfried Luke... He's entering?"
On his computer was a profile of a young man with brown hair with golden tips. He wore a brown suit and red tie and seemed very calm but dark.
Along with a young man was a small boy who looked like a first year student, along with a young girl with long black hair with a bun, then a muscle-bound young man with a muscle t-shirt.
"One of these people have got to be the hackers." Kaiba growled. "I won't rest until I find who it is..."
PREVIEW
Kyu: It's time for the next duel and it looks like Hide is ready and prepared! His next opponent is a Osiris Red student. This seems very unlikely but by what this kid is saying, he's proved himself to be a difficult duelist. Wanting to defeat all Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue students, he wants the Osiris Red to rise in victory and look pathetically down at all other students. Hide duels hard with his warriors but is taken back with the trap card Gravity Bind! Next chapter is Hide VS Fuery, Rise of Silent Swordsman! See you there!
