Chapter 17: Ambush in the Forest P1
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Cardcaptors. Phineas and Ferb belong to Disney and will be featured as Erin's friends staying with her through out the adventure starting in this chapter. I do own Erin and her deck. Also for this chapter and the next few chapters I'd like to say this is Season 1 Jaden Yuki I'm using so he hasn't met Aster Phoenix yet.
Night had fallen at Duel Academy. Almost all the students including Erin had went to their dorms for the night. One student in particular was about to when he was approached by a masked boy. The student had brown hair and wore an Obelisk Blue uniform. This was Atticus Rogues, Alexis's older brother. The masked figure wasted no time, quickly challenging Atticus to a Duel. Despite Atticus's best though the masked figure won with no problem. A defeated Atticus was kneeling as the masked figure approached with a new card that had pitch dark mask "You'll be of some use to us. Return to being Nightshroud."
Atticus rose "N-n-no! I will not return to being that Shadow Rider!"
"You have no choice now" The masked figure told him throwing the card onto Atticus "You lost and will be the key to helping me find our prey Erin!"
The card erupted into darkness swarming over Atticus's body transforming him back into a pitch black dressed figure that was known as Nightshroud. Nightshroud now stood looking at the masked figure "What is our first step?"
"We must find out if Erin Syaoran is visiting Duel Academy first. Then we'll lure her out by capturing Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy over time and silently with the first two captures being secret and the last, in her sights. I want her to follow us then and try to rescue her friends, while she's trying to rescue her friends, we'll make our ambush. You approach her from the front and I'll approach her from her back, successfully blocking off any attempts for her to run. Then we'll both Duel her two against one. Naturally, if we'd Duel her one on one we might lose but two against one, that's a different story."
"Then what happens to her after she losses?" Nightshroud asked.
The masked figure smirked behind her mask "Since it'll be her first ever Shadow Duel with you around she'll most likely die but not before I take any of the Sakura Cards she has over her dying corps."
Nightshroud nods "Very well."
"Then let's begin with the mission!"
The two began their mission searching for Erin.
During the night in Duel Academy Chancellor Sheppard had felt the return of Nightshroud. He knew that Atticus would never willingly become Nightshroud ever since Jaden defeated and rescued him from being Nightshroud in the first place unless by force. Instincts took over the Chancellor, and he knew MFWD was certainly behind this and was making a strike against his niece. He knew it was a Bold move on their part now that they've gotten Atticus back as Nightshroud. He turned to Dr. Crowler whom saw how uneasy the Chancellor looked "MFWD is making their move Dr. Crowler."
"What? How could you say that Chancellor Sheppard?" Dr. Crowler asked in a shocked tone "Duel Academy has doubled their patrol routs and haven't found anything suspicious!"
"They will quite soon" Chancellor Sheppard said "Nightshroud has returned."
Dr. Crowler now looked worried "NIGHTSHROWD AS IN THE SHADOW RIDER NIGHTSHROUD? I THOUGHT ATTICUS WOULDN'T BECOME NIGHTSHROUD!"
Chancellor Sheppard nods "Atticus wouldn't become Nightshoud willingly, it would have to be forced. Only an evil organization such as MFWD would want that to happen."
"Great" Dr. Crowler said then he grew serious "I'll do whatever I can to make sure Erin and Duel Academy stays safe."
Chancellor Sheppard rose "They might try to Duel Erin in someway. Send Jaden to me tomorrow morning."
Dr. Crowler knew why, if there was trouble running around, Jaden was the answer to evil, the Slifer Red had always rose the occasion no matter what happened or how hard the villain tried, Jaden was always ready to throw down. After all Jaden successfully did Duel against the feared three Sacred Beasts and won. Chancellor Sheppard had no way of knowing how MFWD was going to make their move on his niece but one thing was for sure, Erin wouldn't be alone.
Morning came and Erin gets up. She checks her deck to see the two cards Jaden had given her. Elemental Hero Nova Master and Elemental Hero Blastman were still in her deck. It is then she heard Alexis walking around. Erin dresses in her new outfit and pokes her head out the door of her room. Alexis and Mindy were there but Jasmine was no where to be seen.
"Jasmine!" Mindy called out "I know you aren't using the restroom or in the room we share as roommates so where are you?"
"JASMINE!" Alexis calls out worried "Answer!"
Erin walked towards them "What's wrong?"
Alexis answered "Jasmine has disappeared."
"When I woke up this morning" Mindy added on "She wasn't in her bed. At first I thought she got up to use the restroom but when Alexis and I went to check she wasn't there ether."
"That's strange" Erin admitted.
"Sure is" Alexis agreed "No note ether saying she was leaving the dorm earlier than usual."
"We've got classes soon" Mindy told her friend.
Alexis nods "We'll have to attend classes" the blond now grew serious and looks at Erin in a concerned look "Erin...Whatever happened to Jasmine, she might've been kidnapped, if she was kidnapped they might come back looking for you. Watch your back."
"Will do" Erin told her two friends.
The two Obelisk Blues left leaving Erin alone. Erin heeded their warning and exits last looking over her shoulder. She had been captured before even if it was briefly due to Joey rescuing her, she didn't want to be captured a second time. She made her way over to Ferb, and his brother Phineas. The two boys saw Erin looking over her shoulder.
"What's wrong Erin?" Phineas asked her as she finally was close to her two friends "You look like you've seen a ghost."
"Jasmine..." Erin told the two boys "Has been missing. She's not in the dorm, nor was she using the restroom, and no note in her room saying she left early."
It didn't take Phineas long for him to understand where Erin was getting towards "She might've been kidnapped!"
Erin nods "Alexis nor Mindy can say for sure if Jasmine had been kidnapped or not but Alexis strongly suspects it could be the case."
"Only one organization would be so bold to carry out a kidnapping" Ferb admitted "And that would be MFWD."
"They are finally making their move" Phineas muttered "Erin, stick with me, Ferb and Joey when he arrives! Jasmine might be something like the bait trying to lure you to her captor."
Joey heard his name being called and ran down "All I heard was my name being called. What happened?"
Phineas answered "Ferb and I think that MFWD has just made their first move. They kidnapped Jasmine."
Joey formed a fist "WHY DO THEY KIDNAP PEOPLE? First it was Erin's mother, Erin herself and my little sister Serenity. AND NOW THEY KIDNAP ALEXIS'S FRIEND JASMINE?"
"We have a strong feeling it could be them" Phineas admitted.
"Then we'll rescue her at once!" Joey said.
"Hold on their fella" Phineas told Joey "Where it would be a good idea for us to rescue Jasmine, we have no clues on where the crime took place. Duel Academy is so big so Jasmine's kidnapping could've happened at any time of the night yesterday."
Joey smirks pulling out a detective outfit "Then leave it up to Detective Joey Wheeler! I'll find the clues for us!"
While this made Erin laugh in a polite manner, Phineas and Ferb exchanged looks at it was Phineas that spoke "If he's playing detective, then I'm wondering how bad this is gonna end up being..."
"I haven't messed up when playing detective" Joey told the two boys "Now we just need to find clues. I say we return to the very obvious crime scene, Obelisk Blue girls only dorm!"
"You do realize only girls can enter it" Erin pointed out.
"Indeed" Joey said "And you're a girl so you'll have to enter Jasmine and Mindy's room."
"Look for any signs of a struggle" Phineas told her now getting where Joey was going at.
Joey looks at Erin "If anyone is still inside the Dorm and attempt to grab you, scream!"
Erin entered the Girls only dorm and then entered Jasmine's room. She looked around the room and blushed seeing Jasmine's Obelisk Blue Girls only outfit still in the room meaning Jasmine was still in her pajamas. Still there seemed to be no sign of a struggle. She saw a window that had been opened, silently walked over towards it and looked out the window. It was leading to the far left of the building, someone big would've had to silently open the window from the back then grab an unsuspecting Jasmine as she walked by. She waves with her arm getting Ferb's attention.
Ferb points to Erin's arm then with his brother and Joey at his side the three made it over to the area.
"What's up?" Phineas asked Erin.
Erin pokes her head out the window "This is where both Jasmine and Mindy sleep. Jasmine's Obelisk Blue uniform is still in the room."
Joey snapped his fingers "So this kidnapping crime happened at night."
Phineas looked at the position of the window "You'd have to be pretty tall, about Zane's height at best to open that window...Hey Erin is there a brick in there?"
"No brick!" Erin reported.
"A brick would mean that the window was broken" Joey admitted "So the window was opened by Jasmine herself."
"Maybe she left it open during the day and was getting up to close the window" Erin offered.
"Then someone grabbed her" Phineas adds on.
Ferb spotted foot prints and points to them. Phieneas turns "Hey Joey...Check this out."
Joey grabbed a detective magnifying glass and looked at the foot prints "Aha! Another clue! Proof that she was kidnapped! Foot prints I see."
It was at this time Jaden had arrived "What are you doing Joey?"
Joey turned towards Jaden "Helping to solve the mystery fair Jaden"
"Mystery?" Jaden asked.
Joey nods "We're on the case trying to solve what happened to Jasmine!"
"Oh yeah!" Jaden admitted "Lexi said that she went missing...How far does the investigation go?"
"We have reason to believe that Jasmine has been kidnapped" Joey said in what he thought was his best detective tone "Erin found a window near Jasmine and Mindy's room. You'd have to be as tall as Zane to reach the window."
"In order to attempt to grab her you'd have to" Phineas admitted.
Joey studies the foot prints "Plus the kidnapper or kidnappers sort of left a trail."
"They certainly weren't in a hurry to disappear with their captive" Ferb admitted.
"So we can confirm Jasmine was kidnapped" Jaden said "Question is where did they take her? They couldn't have gone far?"
"Dr. Crowler told me about the Forbidden Dorm" Erin said as she joined her friends outside the room "Perhaps they took her there."
"Uh" Jaden spoke "Us Duel Academy students aren't allowed to go into the Forbidden Dorm or we risk expulsion."
"Which makes it a perfect place to check out!" Joey said "It works out for me, Erin, Phineas and Ferb, we aren't officially Duel Academy students so we can't exactly be expelled."
"Jaden" Erin told the Slifer Red "Shouldn't you be in class?"
"For once I've been given an all day excused pass!" Jaden told her "Chancellor Sheppard thinks this MFWD or someone from their forces is around Duel Academy and has ordered me to be at your side at all times. So in short, I'm here to make sure nothing bad happens to you."
Erin now knew going with Joey, Phineas and Ferb wasn't an option for her if Jaden was needed to be at her side at all times during this emergency. She turned to Ferb, Joey and Phineas "Sorry you three, but I can't go to investigate with you all. I'd love to help investigate but Jaden is here to make sure I don't get into big trouble."
Joey looked a bit rejected but Phineas understood "Possibly that's a good idea. MFWD could be leading us into a trap. A trap where it could take a while for us to solve and get out. Leaving Erin vulnerable to capture. It's for the best Erin and Jaden stay here while the three of us go and search for Jasmine."
Joey nods "Right, now, Jaden where is the direction of the Forbidden Dorm?"
Jaden gives the three directions to it and the three were off in that direction. Erin watches her friends leave as she turned to Jaden "Now what do we do?"
"Stick with me" Jaden answered "And we'll look around Duel Academy for Jasmine everywhere else but the Forbidden Dorm."
This seemed to be a good idea to Erin. So she spent some time around Jaden feeling actually protected. Now it was around lunch time when Mindy was the one that disappeared. Alexis shouts for her friend's name, quickly Erin and Jaden arrived to see that Mindy had disappeared as well. Both Erin and Jaden knew the kidnappers had struck again. Jaden then thought of a plan to capture the ones who did this in broad daylight. He turned to Alexis "Your friends have been kidnapped."
"By whom?" Alexis asked him.
Erin answered "MFWD."
"MFWD?" Alexis asked.
"According to Chancellor Sheppard that stands for Masks for World Domination" Jaden answered "They are after Erin."
Alexis now knew what the kidnappers wanted from her two friends "Of course! Jasmine and Mindy are friends to me and Erin."
Jaden nods "What they are trying to do is capture Erin or lure her out into the open some place where they can take her on. They already have Jasmine and Mindy, all what's left for them to capture is you Lexi."
"We can't let them get Erin!" Alexis said "But why would they be after Erin?"
Erin answered pulling out her two Sakura Cards the Shield and Firey "They are after these."
"Your Shield card and Firey Clow Spirit Card?" Jaden asked "Sure they can be powerful but I don't get why."
Erin answered "These two cards aren't exactly Duel Monsters. They were once known as the Clow Cards until my mother converted them into her name renaming them the Sakura Cards now. The cards my mom wields have power that in the wrong hands can be used to conquer the world."
"Why would your mother give you two of her cards?" Alexis asked.
"To try to make sure they don't get their hands on all the other fifty-one cards" Erin answered "In true nature of the Sakura Cards they aren't Duel Monster cards but their power is devastating in the wrong hands. From what we already know about MFWD, they are after the Sakura Cards most likely to try to rule the world or...If they can't have the Sakura Cards, they plan to destroy them."
"This MFWD sound like real jerks!" Alexis shouted "All cards should be valued not treated to be destroyed forever!"
"I had to try to keep the Sakura Cards a secret" Erin explained to her.
Alexis understood "Right, if people knew about the Sakura Cards they could accidentally warn MFWD about it. So they found out you are here."
"And they kidnapped your friends" Erin told her "Which means they are after you!"
"Then we'll just have to give them Alexis!" Jaden said.
"Hugh?" both girls asked.
Jaden smiled "They made a mistake in kidnapping Alexis's two friends. I'd say we give those kidnappers what one would call the old switcharoo! Erin, we're going to put masks on then pretend we caught Alexis. Lexi, I believe you can see where I'm going on this."
"Who knew you could be so smart in capturing a villain?" Alexis asked him "I certainly do know what I'll do, just don't tie me up so hard. With you two walking me out somewhere, MFWD's true representative would have to approach us and guide us to where they are holding my friends."
Erin then got Jaden's plan too "Then while we are tying Alexis with her friends...We'll remove our masks."
"Well your on par with my point" Jaden told them "But I'll be the one to carry Alexis slowly to the area her friends are being kept, you Erin have the best part of this...Getting the attention of your three friends. Get them to chase you to the area where I'm heading too, then when we get to the area, however is leading MFWD efforts would be caught off. When your friends arrive we'll remove our masks."
"Then we'd spoil the plan the enemy is using" Erin agreed.
Within minutes after spending time at Slifer Red, Jaden had made masks only for the masks he made for him and Erin to be made in Elemental Hero faces. His was Flamewingman while Erin's was Burstintrix.
After the masks were made Jaden tied up Alexis even gently gagging her. The Obelisk blue pretended to be a captive all the way though this as Jaden headed out towards the forests. Erin made her way to the Forbidden Dorm. At the Forbidden Dorm, Joey now exits out the dorm with Ferb, and Phineas at his side.
"So much for my hunch!" Joey muttered "Jasmine wasn't in there."
"It wasn't a bad idea to check the area" Phineas told him "The enemy could've been laying in there."
Both he and Joey notice Ferb stop. Phineas then spoke "What's wrong Ferb?"
Ferb pointed over towards Erin's direction where he saw her in her mask. While the two boys were thinking if it was someone else, Joey was quick on the draw "It's a masked figure! After it boys! We can't let it go to warn the others!"
Joey ran after Erin whom tore off in the opposite direction. It was as if Phineas and Ferb knew the masked figure was Erin from the start, it then hit the two that Erin disguised herself in a mask to get their attention...This meant Erin possibly knew where Jasmine was taken too.
"Come on Ferb! We've gotta follow that Masked Figure!"
The two boys run after Joey. Erin took off knowing Jaden's plan was going to happen.
She followed Jaden's trail to the forest and turned her head over to see Joey hot on her trail shouting "STOP RIGHT THERE! JUST RELEASE JASMINE AND I'LL STOP RUNNING AFTER YOU!"
Erin saw the forest where Jaden had taken Alexis then stopped once in the middle. There Alexis and Jaden stood looking upward at Jasmine and Mindy. The two girls had been tied to a tree gagged, Jasmine was blushing as she was in her pajamas and in her barefeet. The two Obelisk Blues were nervous to see two more masked figures approaching the area and looking at them. Jaden saw Erin running towards him "Did you get to your friends?"
Erin answered in form of her own question "Can't you hear from the sound of Joey's voice?"
Jaden puts Alexis over towards her friends tying her with them. He thinks quickly and removes their gags. Once then Jasmine screams "Get away from us!"
"It's okay" Jaden told her as Erin was at his side.
Ferb, Phineas, and Joey entered the scene seeing the three Obelisk Blues and two masked figures. Jaden turned to them "Good work Erin! You've brought your friends over here."
"Erin?" Joey blinked.
Erin nods removing her mask as Jaden does the same.
"Jaden?" Joey asked confused "You two work for MFWD?"
"No we don't" Erin said "When Mindy disappeared, Jaden figured out that Alexis was their next target...So we brought Alexis here. All Jaden and I needed was you three to be in the area too."
"Oh?" Joey asked.
"Now we just have to get Alexis and her friends down" Jaden said.
He walked forward when a masked figure emerged from their front. He was pitch black. Jaden frowned "Oh-no...Not you again Nightshroud."
"ATTICUS! YOUR BEHIND MY FRIENDS' KIDNAPPING?" Alexis demanded enraged "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
Nightshroud glares at the group unaffected by Alexis's shouts "Atticus is no more, for once again I have truly returned."
He glares at Erin "You weren't supposed to find out that quickly though."
"It was obvious from the beginning when you captured Mindy that Alexis was your next target" Erin told him.
"He's not alone" Ferb said "Erin watch your back!"
Erin turned her head to see another masked figure. This one Erin knew was from MFWD for sure, his mask sure looked evil.
"And that's the one I have to thank for freeing me and giving me new life" Nightshroud explained.
"So" Alexis shouted "He's the true person behind this."
"Well now" Joey said forming a fist and charging the second masked figure "Why don't I do something useful for a change and punch you in the face so I can rip off that mask!"
"Do that and the three girls drop to their deaths!" the masked figure said.
Alexis now looks at the tree the girls were tied too, three nooses were around the tree limb which meant the masked figure planned to hang the three captives. The three ropes were tied around their necks at the masked figure's snap.
"Your going to hang my friends?" Erin demanded.
"That's right" The masked figure spoke "If that attack dog of yours comes one step closer towards me, I'll press the button which'll remove the limb the girls are standing on, resulting in three girl death by hanging.
"ATTACK DOG?" Joey shouted insulted as Jaden held him back "Easy Joey! No need to get yourself angry."
"The original plan was to Duel Erin, two against one" the masked figure spoke.
"That's an unfair thing to do" Phineas told him.
"True, but that was the original plan...Jaden, you and Erin caught onto my plan way too quickly."
"Well for starters you didn't think to cover up your trail" Phineas told him.
"So what's plan B?" Nightshroud asked the Masked figure.
The Masked Figure answered "We'll Duel Jaden and Erin, Tag Dueling Style. Treating it as a Shadow Duel."
Jaden frowned "You would suggest Shadow Duel."
Nightshroud nods "Very well, and I'll agree."
"Duel us Erin alongside your friend Jaden" The masked figure spoke "It's the only way to save your three Obelisk Blue friends."
"If it's the only way to save my friends from being hung, then I'll do it!" Erin told him.
"Just who are you guys to do this stuff?" Joey demanded.
"We're proudly MFWD" the masked figure answered "And we'll do ANYTHING for our master to gain the Sakura Cards, even killing anyone that stands in our way!"
"MURDERORS!" Phineas said.
"When the world is reborn in our master's image" The masked figure spoke "It will be legal for anyone to kill anyone on the side of good."
"Then I won't let you get your hands on my mother's cards" Erin told him "Not as long as I draw breathe!"
"You'll live no more after this Duel" The masked figure told her.
Ferb could tell by the masked figure's voice that this masked figure was mind controlled or brainwashed, or he was doing this for someone he knew. Regardless Ferb knew it was pointless to talk to this man.
"You and to Duel me and Erin?" Jaden asked "So be it! Don't worry Lexi, Erin and I will save you and your friends."
Erin and Jaden activated their Duel Disks as the Masked Figure and Nightshroud activated theirs and all four shouted "DUEL!"
Erin and Jaden's Life Points: 8000
Masked Figure and Nightshroud's Life Points: 8000
Nightshroud spoke "I shall start this Duel off."
"Go ahead" the Masked Figure said.
Nightshroud nodded "First I summon Red-Eyes Black Chick in attack mode!"
A baby red-eyes black Dragon appeared on the field ATK: 800
"Next" Nightshroud spoke "I activate Red-Eyes Black Chick's Special Ability, by offering it up, I can Special Summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my hand!"
Red-Eyes Black Chick disappeared and in it's place was a Red-Eyes Black Dragon. ATK: 2400
"HEY!" Joey demanded "You have a Red-Eyes too?"
"You bet" Nightshroud said "I activate the Spell Card Inferno Fire Blast!"
A spellcard was played as Nightshroud spoke it's effect glaring at Erin as he was facing her in the Tag Duel while the Masked Figure was facing Jaden "Now this card allows me to inflict damage to you equal to my Red-Eyes Black Dragon's attack points."
"Brace yourself Erin!" Jaden warned.
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon took aim and fired at Erin. A powerful molten fireball strikes Erin causing her to scream in pain and lean on her knees gasping for breathe as the damage she felt was real...She gasps in pain "W-W-W-What just happened? I just felt that!"
Erin and Jaden's Life Points: 5600
Nightshroud answered "This is what happens during a Shadow Duel, the Battle Damage is real."
He eyes the field "I'll set one card face down and it ends my turn."
"Take a breather Erin" Jaden told her "I'll go for us next."
Erin gives him a nod trying to still recover from this damage she took.
"It's my move!" Jaden announced "I draw!"
Jaden drew his card "Sweet! I'll activate the Spell Card, Polymerization! with it I fuse Elemental Hero Burstintrix, and Elemental Hero Clayman together in order to Fusion Summon Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster!"
Rampart Blaster appears on the field DEF: 2500
"Next," Jaden began "Battle, during the Battle Phase, even when Rampart Blaster is in Defense Mode, thanks to her Special Ability he can attack you Directly...Of course after halving her attack points. Go, Rampart Blaster, Rampart Barrage!"
Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster took aim out of it's missile hand then halved it's attack points 2000-1000, then fired at Nightshroud. Nightshroud didn't even flinch as the missiles exploded all around him while his Life Points dropped. Masked Figure and Nightshroud's Life Points: 7000
"Next" Jaden began "I'll set Wroughweiler in defense mode and set one card face down end my turn!"
Jaden's mechanical dog appeared on the field DEF: 1200
While Jaden ended his turn after placing a face down card Erin notices Rampart Blaster's attack points had returned back to normal 1000-2000.
"It's my move" The masked figure spoke "I draw!"
He drew his card "I summon Blade Skater to the field in attack mode!"
Blade Skater appeared on the field ATK: 1400
"Next" The masked figure spoke "I activate Spell Card Double Summon, it allows me to Summon one additional Monster, and I choose Jutte Fighter Tuner Monster!"
Jutte Fighter appears on the field ATK: 600
"Next" The Masked Figure told Jaden, "I activate my Tuner Monster's Special ability, once per turn it can change the battle positions of one of your monsters on the field and I choose your Rampart Blaster!"
Rampart Blaster went into attack mode ATK: 2000
"And now I'm going to tune my Level 2 Jutte Fighter" The Masked Figure said "With my Level Four Blade Skater in order to Synchro Summon...Goyo Guardian!"
Jutte Fighter split into two huge green rings as it scanned Blade Skater. Then their was a flash of white light then when it ended Goru Guardian appeared on the field ATK: 2800
"Now" the masked figure spoke "Battle, Goru Guardian, attack Rampart Blaster! Twirling Strike!"
Jaden watches as Goyo Guardian twirls it's rope and flung it at his Rampart Blaster, the attack hit Rampart Blaster and it was then the masked figure announced his monster's effect "When Goyo Guardian destroys a monster in battle, I get to decide to activate it's effect or not, when I have activated it's effect, I can then take control of the monster he targets but until the next turn I have it is in defense mode!"
Jaden watches as Goyo Guardian's attack hits his monster destroying it causing damage to Jaden's Life Points. Erin and Jaden's Life Points: 4800
"Next" The masked figure said taunting Jaden "I'll use Rampart Blaster's special ability to allow it to attack you directly!"
Rampart Blaster took aim, halved it's attack points 2000-1000 then fired at Jaden. Jaden held his own as the attack strikes and lowers his Life Points.
Erin's and Jaden's Life Points: 3800
The Masked Figure spoke "You aren't looking so hot! Red-Eyes Black Dragon attack your Wroughweiler!"
"I activate my Trap Card" Jaden announced "Draining Shield! I get to negate one of your monster's attacks and gain Life Points equal to that monster's attack points!"
"Should've used it on Goru Guardian" Erin told Jaden.
Jaden nodded "True, but I'm using it now."
a shield appeared draining Red-Eyes Black Dragon's attack points and increased Erin and Jaden's Life Points. Erin and Jaden's Life Points: 6200
"So" The masked figure spoke "You survived my attack that round. Next round I'm sure to win! Turn end."
Erin looked at the field "It's my move, I draw!"
She drew her card then smiled "Nice, I summon, Elemental Hero Blazeman!"
Elemental Hero Blazeman appears on her side of the field ATK: 1200
"Next" Erin spoke "I'll use his Special ability to add one Polymerization from my deck to my hand!"
Erin retrieved her own Polymerization "Next, I activate the Spell Card: Polymerization! This Card allows me to Fuse Elemental Hero Blazeman with Blazing Impachi, in order to Fusion Summon, Elemental Hero Nova Master!"
Elemental Hero Nova Master appears on the field ATK: 2600
"Told you he was going to come in handy" Jaden told her.
"And I'll put it to good use!" Erin told him "I activate Field Spell Card: Molten Destruction!"
Molten Destruction was played and a volcano appears on the field, Erin explained the effect "Now, all Fire Attribute Monsters gain five hundred more attack points but lose four hundred defense points!"
Elemental Hero Nova Master's attack points rose. 2600-3100
"Now" Erin announced "Battle!"
She eyes the field "Elemental Hero Nova Master, attack Goyo Guardian! Nova Flare!"
Elemental Hero Nova Master gathered in a huge fireball and threw it at Goyo Guardian. Goyo Guardian watches as the fireball connected destroying it. The Masked Figure's Life Points took the hit as he growls "You got lucky!"
Masked Figure and Nightshroud's Life Points: 6700
"I activate Nova Master's Special ability" Erin told her opponent, whenever my monster destroys one of your monsters, I get to draw one card from my deck!"
Erin drew her card "I'll set one card face-down and it'll end my turn."
The first rounds for the Duel was over and now came to a full circle. This wasn't a Duel Erin and Jaden wanted to lose and they were going to duel with everything they had. Can Erin, and Jaden overcome this Tag Duel or will the two Sakura Cards Erin has fall into enemy hands as well as three deaths? Too be continued.
