All hope seemed lost as reishi's situation got more dire and agitated.
Everything was going dark as more dark mist began to shroud in the inert darkness.
As the light began to leave reishi's eyes she heard one final voice in her mind.
One final voice of Faith
One final voice of Destiny
One final voice of Hope
Voice: R...E….I….S…..H….I
Reishi: (…. Huh…?)
Voice: Dont….. Give….. Up….
Reishi: It's the same voice from before….
She Realized that she had heard it before when she had entered the parking lot in the first place.
{Flashback}
Voice: R….e...i...s...h….i
A voice slowly and ominously said her name….
Reishi: Ah-!
A thick fog mist made of darkness surrounding the parking lot. The room had a purple aftertone.
*Beep Beep BEEP*
All the cars in the room alarms starting to go off as the dark and stank mist shrouds the floor.
{End}
Voice: Yes….
Reishi: Who are you?
Voice: ….. Not….. Important…. Cant talk…..For Long…..
Reishi: But-
She was cut off by the voice.
Voice: ….You have the power…. To defeat the shadowmancers…...
Reishi: ….What do You mean?
Voice: A card….. In your deck….. It will be the miracle…. your looking for.
Reishi: What card…?
Voice: Mu…..si…..Dr….. on
The voice began less and less clear. Almost as if it couldn't hang on anymore.
Like a phone call that was disconnecting.
Reishi: Wait Please! What card..?
Voice: Im So…..rry…...Dont….. Give….. Up… And….. Remember….. To ….. Believe….. In Music.
*warp*
The light returned back to reishi's eyes and she got back to reality itself.
She felt reinvigorated and re-energized as the hope and music flowed through her body like two gestating salmon.
She could now move her legs and the rest of her body parts and with her strong will ,She got up and dusted herself off.
Reishi: In Music. The song isnt over until the last beat! And neither am I! My turn I draw.
?: Just like a cockroach you keep getting up and up… whatever… resistance is futile.
Reishi LP: 2300
? LP: 5300
She Looked through her hand and played her card of Hope.
Reishi: I activate Musical Note - A! A for Ascension !
?: W-what?
Reishi: I can summon a Music-type monster from my graveyard! I'll summon Musicgal Barista Tetista !
Musical Barista Tetista
Atk 2000 def 1500
The Kawaii bartender like girl appeared from beyond the grave.
?: She can't possibly stand up to my fusion.
Reishi: Your right! She cant but Im going to be attacking your fusion this turn!
?: …..
Reishi: Let's go! Barista Tetista attack Shadowprancer Feral-Fighter! Light distortion bar blast!
The barista clasped her hands together in a praying motion. From her hands formed a Cyan colored light stream that blasted Feral fighter!
? Lp: 5100
?: *tch* a minor setback.
Reishi: But That's not all! When she destroys a monster you take damage equal to half of it's attack!
?: Dammit!
Barista Tetista took out a shot glass and stirred it up seductively. Every stir made more and more light energy come up from it blasting the cloaked lady.
? Lp: 4200
Reishi: I'll Set one card and end my turn.
She declared after.
?: Your only prolonging your end…! You ingrate!
She displayed anger and frustration for the first time in the duel. It was clear she was becoming more befuddled as time went on and the duel was prolonged.
Reishi: I'm not prolonging anything… Im trying to survive for the people I love and care about.
Reishi: But I guess you wouldn't know about loving or caring…. Huh?
?: I would actually ….I love milady the queen….
Reishi: Like I said before. It's probably a one-sided love affair. Think about this :You might love her but does she love you back? And-
?: I Dont care! All I want to do is serve milady and If kidnapping you is what make's her happy, Then so be it!
?: My Turn I draw!
The cloaked dame Started her turn with more passion than ever.
She was going to destroy reishi for her darling and alluring queen.
?: hahahha! Let's get right to this pain! I activate Shadowprancer Monstrous Hunter's effect! You'll take 1600 damage!
It readied it's axe Again then The Monster whirled around in a spherical motion. the mist around formed into a cyclone surrounding it as this action was performed creating a terror tyclone. Through this cyclone it threw it's axe.
Reishi LP: 700
Reishi lay on the ground again, Her face… being Facedown.
Although the pain was excruciating she managed to get herself up unlike before.
?: your almost down to zero…. Soon The shadowmancers will be able to claim you for our Queen.
Reishi: urgh….. I don't even get what your Queen even wants with me…
?: …. Do you really want to know?
Reishi: H-Huh?
Reishi was bewildered at her sudden cooperation.
?: The Queen Fancies you.
The cloaked lady said bluntly.
Reishi: F-Fancies me? Like she likes me…?
?: … In a sort of a way,yes. She is impressed by your dueling skills and motivation.
Reishi: Should I be flattered?
?: Yes. The queen doesn't personally recruit people often ! She must be very interested in you… I hear her Moan your name alot when she's alone in her Quarters.
Reishi: …..
Reishi: Well im not interested. Your "Queen is clearly an evil person. I would never join her or her organization that sends people to the shadows.
?: You clearly Only have a rudimentary understanding of the shadowmancers. Likely perpetrated by Fake news.
She said as she scoffed.
Reishi: Huh?
?: Us shadowmancers are only Interested in Reviving the shadows.
Reishi: Reviving The shadows?
?: Yes…., This world has become too full of light, There is now an unnatural balance of more light than their is darkness and ee need to restore the world's balance.
Reishi: Darkness… Light¿ what the hell are you talking about? that makes No sense.
?: *sigh*
?: I wouldn't expect you to understand So quickly.
That's why you must Join us reishi.
?: You'd be a great asset to the queen and the shadowmancers.
Reishi: ….
?: Not many people are Respected and frankly adored by the queen,
The cloaked lady walked closer to reishi.
They were nearly face to face. She grabbed reishi softly hugged her. Although her immense cleavage was pushing against reishi's face.
Reishi: *Muffled Sounds*
?: Reishi. She loves you. She wants you. She Needs you. Join us child. And you will not only be loved like a wild you will become a child of the shadowmancers.
Her soliloquy was felt by reishi's Unwavering feelings. But reishi didn't know what to think. She doubted herself in a moment of silent weakness
…
Reishi was silent and but determined she would never abandon her morals.
She's been fighting this whole time for Her friends and family. She cant give in now to pressure's Of darkness
She pushed the cloaked woman aside and with New strength and Conviction said:
Reishi: I will Never Join you!
The cloaked lady paused and sighed.
?: So be it then.
*whoosh* her body dissipated into dark mist and traveled back to the other side of the room where she magically reappeared.
Her Bust shimmied up and down as she did this, Showing that she was clearly well-endowed.
?: I didn't want to have to hurt you so bad. Since the queen likes you so much. But you left me no Choice.
She frowned.
?: Shadowprancer Monstrous Hunter! Attack Barista Tetista And end this Duel!
She commanded.
*GROWL* It's growl was louder than ever as it prepared to strike down barista tetista. The monstrous hunter postured in a pouncing pose and ran towards barista tetista with the fury of a divorced wife.
Every seconds anticipating, it tensed up in the room as the shadows
prepared to snatch up reishi following her defeat.
But unfortunately they would have to wait.
Reishi: Trap cardo! Open! Reverse Gravity!
?: Huh?
Reishi: heh. My card has a very simple but powerful Effect. I can switch one of my monsters to defense position/Mode!
Barista Tetista Drank her Shot glass down then belched mightily and sexily. She then turned to defense mode.
?: Fah! Your monster is still destroyed.
The cloaked was right as the hunter's axe slashed right into barista tetista's torso. Her shot glass fell to ground when she destroyed signifying her sad death.
But due to her clever thinking reishi didn't any damage!
?: You can prolong this duel as long as you want child. But the end result will be the same, You'll be coming with me. Just give up and accept your fate.
A gripping reality began to take hold as she began to feel a surge of hope within her.
She remembered the words of the Gentle voice from before
{Flashback}
The voice began less and less clear. Almost as if it couldn't hang on anymore.
Like a phone call that was disconnecting.
Reishi: Wait Please! What card..?
Voice: Im So…..rry…...Dont….. Give….. Up
{End}
Reishi: …. No! I will never give up! There's at least Someone else who believes in me! And I won't abandon their wish!
She began her turn with hope in her heart and faith on her side.
Reishi: Dreams will never die! I draw!
The wind shook as she drew her card. By the feeling of hand and heart she knew what she had to do.
Reishi: ( I have to summon the monster, the voice was talking about.
…..but How can I when I don't even know what it is?)
She began to formulate a plan and put it into motion.
Reishi: alright. Dolente dog's ability! If a Music-type monster is on the field I can summon it from the grave…..
The sugoi Dog rose up from the grave to make it's grand re-entrance into the duel.
It sat right next to Musicgal bella belicoso.
Reishi: (I have two Monster's on the field…. Now What I do…..)
?: It doesn't Matter How many monsters you summon! You'd Need a Miracle to Survive
Reishi: A miracle…..
She remembered one more time what the voice said.
{Flashback}
Voice: ….You have the power…. To defeat the shadowmancers…...
Reishi: ….What do You mean?
Voice: A card….. In your deck….. It will be the miracle…. your looking for.
Reishi: What card…?
Voice: Mu…..si…..Dr….. on
{End}
Reishi: !
She finally understood what card the voice was talking about.
Reishi: … Ah I get it!
Reishi: Begin Musical Summon!
Reishi's hand began to glow pink and yellow with power of music, and a beam of light blasted from her hand.
It went around in a circle and created a circular musical staff in the ground from it a pink vortex.
It was even more grander than before.
Reishi: I finally get it….. The card you wanted me to summon…. Whoever you are…!
She talked to herself.
{Flashback}
Voice: Mu…..si…..Dr….. on
{End}
Reishi: Musical Dragon?
