Chapter 30: Duel of Happiness
Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptors or Yugioh. I do own Erin. Also Erin's Rival Tatsuya is another OC I own.
Later on during the day when Blair defeated Tatsuya, the group was heading back to Erin's house. Erin seemed to have recovered from her loss thanks to Blair's victory over Tatsuya. Yuya wasn't so sure but was willing to let Erin stick with Blair. Phineas and Ferb watched over everyone's backs as they headed back to Erin's house. Joey stuck around with Blair "You looked great back there dueling Tatsuya, Blair! Was it because of Honest you won?"
Blair nodded "My deck has always had Honest in it however that was the first time I've ever drawn it when I needed it the most. And yes, had I not drawn Honest, I would've been the one that lost."
"Luck of the draw?" Joey asked.
"I guess you can call it that" Blair admitted "However, at least I proved to Erin he can be beaten."
"That you did" Erin said "It looked like you were having fun doing that."
"I actually did have fun dueling him" Blair admitted she then looks at Erin "And that's the important thing on dueling, winning or losing doesn't matter it's if you had fun...Now being crushed like that does have an impact on any duelist."
Yuzu watches Phineas "Everything alright back there?"
"You bet" Phineas said "Just making sure no one's sneaking up on our backs."
"I am surprised the enemy hasn't done anything while Erin was in that state" Ferb admitted.
Yuya then got where the two boys were getting at "THEY SO WOULD'VE CAPTALIZED ON THAT! Man...I wonder why they didn't."
Joey shrugged "Maybe they know that they'll fail?"
"That's wishful thinking" Phineas said "They must be onto something, plus we need to stop their Earthbound Immortal users..The sooner Erin recovers from this then the more we can move on."
Yuya smiled "No matter you have me and Yuzu on your side! Possibly one day Tatsuya too."
"I'd hate to see the day Kaiba decides to join our little group" Joey muttered "But as much as I hate him, it's bound to happen...Question is when...Plus another part of that question is...What would Kaiba gain for doing so..."
"Yeah" Phineas admitted "Kaiba's not one to join anything without having something to gain."
They amazingly got back to Erin's house without MFWD interfering on it. Once home Erin gave her mother Sakura the good news in that Blair had beaten Tatsuya. Li overheard this and he looked at Blair "Wow, Blair, I wouldn't have thought that Tatsuya could be beaten. Especially when he seals away his opponent's ability to use Spell Cards."
"It wasn't easy" Blair admitted to Erin's father "But I managed to."
"Out of anyone that could do it" Joey admitted "I'm amazed Blair's deck is strong enough to handle Tatsuya's."
"Thanks to Honest it was" Blair admitted.
So the group spends the rest of the day together plotting their next move. The next day, Erin was taking lessons from Pegasus. The creator of Duel Monsters was impressed that Erin seemed to put the loss to Tatsuya behind her. Then again Blair had beaten Tatsuya and that seemed to put a spark in things. While Pegasus was teaching Erin, Yuya, and Yuzu had been invited to see if Erin's lessons were different with Pegasus than Kaiba. That answer was a big yes, where Yuya imagined Seto Kaiba to be a cruel type of teacher wanting the best of his student, Pegasus seemed to be patient with Erin.
"I'm certainly glad that you Erin-girl got your spirit back."
Erin blushes "Sorry about that."
"Losing your spirit to duel nearly happens to all duelist when they are crushed badly little Erin-girl" Pegasus said "What matters next after that is how one quickly recovers. Blair was smart to realize the more you see a crushing defeat the more we may lose you and honestly, that's not what I'd want to see in you Erin."
Erin was silent as he continued "I don't want to see any duelist that I'm teaching to lose their spirit completely. It's one thing you and your friends have found ether and bound to a group with one goal to defeat MFWD."
Erin nodded a bit understanding him as Yuya then spoke "But is she one hundred percent completely recovered?"
"What do you mean Yuya-boy?" Pegasus asked him
"Yuya!" Yuzu scolded "Never interrupt someone else's lessons!"
"It's okay Yuzu-girl" Pegasus told her "I see you have good manners."
Yuzu blushes a bit but Yuya spoke "Blair did save Erin from completely giving up all hope, but I want to make sure she has her dueling spirit back."
"And how would you be able to do that?" Pegasus challenged.
Yuya smiled "Have her Duel me for a Duel Test!"
Pegasus thought about it "Come to think of it I haven't given Erin-girl a proper Duel Test yet."
He turned to Erin "As a teacher to you, one does have to give you a Duel Test. Jaden gave you won and while you lost to him it didn't shake you up."
"Because I know I can beat him" Erin admitted "If he hadn't played that one Trap Card, I would've won. Besides I actually had fun dueling him!"
"While that maybe true Erin-Girl" Pegasus admitted to her "You're loss to Tatsuya shook you up, and I still remember you weren't totally yourself since Yugi-boy helped you to free Blair and beat Demonica due to her Earthbound Immortal."
Erin nodded agreeing "That's true...The Earthbound Immortal is one thing even I fear...Then her...Wicked Dreadrout..."
Pegasus looks at her "Then it seems that I need to put you into a Duel Test, Erin-Girl. I'm amazed that you seem to be normal now then looking depressed and shocked. So I will grant Yuya his request. Besides rumor has it that he has a new sort of Special Summon that I've been dying to see in person."
Erin nodded "Alright then!"
Pegasus smiles at her "Pass the test to prove to Yuya and myself that you have recovered. Regardless if you win or lose doesn't really matter however I am looking for one thing that I won't tell you until after you're Duel with Yuya concludes."
Erin bows "Very well Mr. Pegasus."
Pegasus smiled as Yuya prepared himself to Duel Erin, but Pegasus lifted his hand "The duel test will be in two hours so to give both duelist time to prepare themselves for the duel."
"Good idea!" Yuzu admitted.
Erin and Yuya agreed with Yuzu. Pegasus then turned to Erin "In two hours you shall be dueling outside my mansion. I gotta make some calls, send in Phineas and Ferb, I'd like to talk to them"
"Okay Mr. Pegasus!" Erin said running out to get her friends which she spotted them playing a board game with Blair, Joey while they were waiting for Erin to complete her lesson.
Joey spotted her "Hey Erin! Early lesson?"
"No" Erin said "I got my first ever Duel test"
"Against who?" Joey asked "Me?"
Blair giggled "I didn't know you wanted to Duel Erin."
Joey blushes "Well uh Blair you see if Pegasus choose me to be Erin's opponent for her first ever Duel Test, then I'll be happy to help her learn!"
Erin actually giggled "Well if that was the case, I'd accept it but it's not against you Joey."
"Ah man...I guess Pegasus doesn't think I'm a good enough Duelist to give you a Duel Test."
"It's not that" Erin told him "Pegasus is putting me up against Yuya."
"What does he have that I don't?" Joey asked "Surely I can give you a good challenge."
Erin winked at Joey as her Fox Fire appeared at her side and it had been three days sense she regained the ability to see her Duel Monster spirit "Mr. Pegasus says, Yuya has a technique that he wants to see...Supposingly it's a new technique that so far Yuya is able to do."
Phineas blinked "Wow, Yuya must be an incredible Duelist to have this new summoning method."
Ferb agreed "I'm curious now."
"So am I!" Joey admitted.
Erin turned to Phineas and Ferb "Pegasus says he wants to see you two. Please visit him as I prepare for my duel test, I got two hours to prepare for it."
"Need my help Erin?" Blair offered.
"Sure!" Erin said as she and Blair walked off to help Erin prepare for her Duel Test.
Joey was left thinking what new method he would be seeing. After all he had just seen XYZ, and Synchro Monsters were a thing so what new method could top that? He'd have to check it out as he called Yugi "Hey Yug!"
"Hey Joey" Yugi said on the other end "What's going on? MFWD attacking Erin again?"
"Not that we know of" Joey admitted "but remember two days ago when we met Yuzu?"
"Of course, she seemed like a wonderful girl"
"Well she brought with her a friend of hers Yuya and Blair dueled against Tatsuya with the two watching."
"I've already heard that Blair defeated Tatsuya, that wasn't an easy feature, tell her I said congratulations."
"Will do Yug, however that's not what I'm calling you for."
"What else is there?" Yugi asked.
Joey answered "Pegasus is giving Erin her first Duel Test, against Yuya...According to Pegasus, he has some new method of Summoning Monsters...I'm calling to see if you want to come over to his mansion to see what it is."
"I'd love to!" Yugi said "Any new method is something I'd like to watch to! When is the Duel Test?"
"In two hours!" Joey reported.
"I'll be there" Yugi promised "I'll see you then."
"Right Yug, I'll be waiting, goodbye."
"Goodbye"
The two hung up and Yugi began to make his way to Pegasus's mansion wanting to see this new summoning method.
Phineas and Ferb entered the room Pegasus was in. The two boys found the creator of Duel Monsters making adjustments on Erin's first ever Duel Test. He was true to his word, in this Duel test it didn't matter if Erin would win or lose it. It all depended on if she had the spirit to continue on if things got bad for her. A surrender from her if things got bad would mean she would fail. That was the only way she could fail the test. Pegasus heard the door closing and knew it was the two boys "Oh, Phineas, and Ferb, so glad you can come in so quickly."
"Erin said you wanted to see us Mr. Pegasus sir!" Phineas reported "What do you need us for?"
Pegasus answered "You must by now know that I am planning to give Erin her first ever Duel Test."
"Yeah, we know about it" Phineas admitted.
"Well then I need you two boys to build a duel test field outside my mansion. Normally we could do the Duel Test underneath the mansion but it's quite a wonderful day outside."
"That is true" Phineas admitted "It's one of those days Ferb and I would be relaxing underneath our tree in our yard until I or he came up with something we're going to do today."
"And then after saying those words" Ferb admitted "It's always the question of Where's Perry?"
Pegasus looks at the two boys "The duel fields outside aren't totally in the newest fashion. So care to make me a Duel field ready for the present times?"
"Sure thing!" Phineas said "Where do you want it?"
"In the backyard" Pegasus answered.
"Alright then, Ferb, let's get going!"
Ferb nodded and with his brother raced out to start working on Pegasus's request.
Pegasus watches the two boys run off How wonderful to have those two on Erin's side. Those two will help her out greatly.
He then turned his attention to his notes "Now let's see what else I can see how to pass her or fail her."
Sakura was with Blair and her daughter as the three girls prepared for Erin's Duel Test. Blair was checking over Erin's deck and Extra Deck trying to make sure everything was still there. Everything was including Sakura's two Sakura Cards turned Duel Monster Cards. Erin checked out the Firey Clow Spirit Continuous Spell Card knowing that if she was to improve her game it was needed. Sakura watches the two girls smiling seeing how close the two were as friends. Finally Erin spoke "Well everything I have in my deck is ready to go."
"So far, yes" Blair said missing the fact Sakura was looking at her Sakura Cards wondering which one to give Erin for passing the test so Erin could use it against the enemy and sighted one of them and grinned Of course! I can give her the Time card so her group can escape MFWD if they need to do that.
"Something wrong Mommy?" Erin asked her mother.
"No sweetie" Sakura told her "Just browsing through my Sakura Cards. I hope to see you do well on your first test."
The girls all heard loud noises coming from the backyard. This caused everyone including Yuya and Yuzu to rush out towards the sound. Then they all gasped with Joey speaking out to Phineas and Ferb as the two were making a duel field one that even Kaiba would get jealous of "Phineas?"
"Yeah?" Phineas asked as he and Ferb continued making the duel field.
"I know this is a stupid question and may sound like your sister Cadance but WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Joey asked.
"Making a Duel Field for Pegasus" Phineas said.
"Does Mr. Pegasus know?" Erin asked.
"Indeed he does!" Ferb answered "He asked me and my brother to make it."
Joey whistled "I seen you two boys make a giant stadium in your backyard but your duel field is like a stadium and Duel field into one. It could rival the Kaiba Dome!"
"Ferb and I weren't aiming for that" Phineas admitted "But when he put our heads together and work together...Nothing will stop us for doing what we love doing the most, making incredible things."
Yuzu literally had her jaw drop and was speechless for once. She had never seen so much creativity in anyone. She even saw Dueling Fields capable of transforming into what one could call Action Fields but this beat even those. Yuya however liked what he saw "Oh boy! Am I glad to have met you two! I'd love to Duel in that Duel Field, despite it not having Action Cards!"
Pegasus walks over seeing the duel field and then spoke "Then it gives me the pleasure to say this Yuya-boy, you and Erin-Girl get to be the first ever Duelist to Duel on this field."
"Great!" Yuya said.
Erin agreed and while waiting the doorbell rang. Joey gets up "Don't worry Mr. Pegasus, that must be my pal Yugi! I called him so that he could see this new summoning method of Yuya's!"
"THE KING OF GAMES IS WATCHING OUR DUEL?" Yuya asked "THIS DAY HAS GOTTEN TEN TIMES BETTER!"
Pegasus lets Joey answer the door. As Joey gets to the door he asks out "Yugi? Is that you out there?"
Joey looked threw the spyhole on the door to make sure and saw it was Yugi with Tea and Tristrian at his side. Yugi then answered now hearing it "Yes, and I've brought Tea, and Tristian along?"
Joey opened the door "Hey three come on in!"
Yugi, Tea, and Tristian walked in removing their shoes.
"So?" Tristian asked "Are we late?"
"Are you kidding me Tristian you aren't! You're five minutes early."
"I'm looking forward in seeing this new method" Tea admitted.
"Me too" Yugi said.
"You four aren't the only ones" Kaiba's voice sounded.
Joey turned seeing Seto Kaiba with Tatsuya at his side "Oh, great...What are you doing here Kaiba?"
"Yeah, man" Tristian said defending Joey from Kaiba "You said you were giving Tatsuya a double lesson today due to losing to Blair."
Kaiba glared at the two idiots "I must admit I did say that, however when I heard Yugi say that idiot Yuya has a new summoning method that not even Pegasus knows about, then it's best Tatsuya sees it as Yuya might be an opponent he may have to face one day. Plus I want to see it for my own eyes to see if it has any weaknesses that I can teach to Tatsuya so he can exploit it."
Joey sighed as Kaiba was one person he didn't want in but he couldn't turn Kaiba down as Kaiba did have a point. It wasn't fair if a handful of people knew about Yuya's techniques and Kaiba with Tatsuya didn't. Li saw the two and nearly drew his sword knowing that his daughter had a hard time cooping with her loss to Tatsuya. Sakura had the mind to knock him on the head a bit to remind him that while Tatsuya did beat Erin badly, it was Kaiba that was teaching him plus she did this so he knew that Kaiba did have a point. Li looked at Kaiba "You're really lucky Sakura's here to remind me you are right Kaiba..."
"I see you haven't gotten over the fact Tatsuya beat Erin" Kaiba told him.
"If he would've done it without her feeling crushed I'd have no problem with it" Li pointed out.
The group walks to the backyard and Kaiba finds himself looking at the Dueling field Pegasus just got. Just like Joey had predicted, Kaiba was nearly filled with envy as this new dueling field did rival the Kaiba Dome.
"When did you get this Pegasus?" Kaiba demanded at Pegasus.
"Oh about Two hours from now" Pegasus answered.
"TWO HOURS? GIVE ME A BREAK NO ONE COULD MAKE THIS IN TWO HOURS?"
Phineas poked his head out followed by Ferb "Then you don't know me and Ferb Mr. Kaiba!"
Erin even giggled a bit as she looks at Kaiba "Phineas and Ferb can make anything...Name it Stadium in their own backyard, a roller coaster in their backyard, a beach, a carwash, and finally this Duel field that is also a stadium."
"It also comes with robots to keep it in tack" Phineas reported.
Kaiba gasps seeing that Ferb was indeed completing the finishing touches to the robots which even he knew was Rust proof and was for once left speechless. Sure he came up with incredible things for his company but these two boys were geniuses on par of his intellect or even surpass it if they could make a fully working duel field/stadium complete with robots to keep it running.
"Looks big and amazing you two!" Tristian said.
"Yeah!" Tea said "When you two grow up to get jobs, you should consider running your own company or making inventions for a living!"
Blair smiled "I second that second motion."
Pegasus checked his watch as he asked Phineas "Everything ready?"
"You bet!" Phineas said.
Ferb nods and the duel field comes to life.
Pegasus was about to speak but Yuya leaps onto one end of the field "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! GET READY TO BE ENTERTAINED! Today I will be Erin's opponent in this duel! I'm Yuya and Erin. Please come up!"
While Yuzu was clapping for Yuya's comment, Kaiba already despised Yuya for this opening statement, to him the boy was too joyful and he hated joyful people.
Erin in her Obelisk Blue Girls only outfit walked up the other end supported by Blair and her mother "You can do it Erin!"
"Yeah, sweetie! Have fun!"
What's with all this fun nonsense? Kaiba thought he turned to Tatsuya "Watch this duel with interest Tatsuya, and let's hope for this Yuya to do his new summoning techniques. As Blair did to you, one prepares to duel future opponents and unlike the mutt that's here...You maybe able to Counter it."
At hearing himself being addressed as Mutt, Joey almost made a break for it to give Kaiba a punch to the back of his head. He would've too had Tristian and Yugi not stopped him.
"Yes, Mr. Kaiba sir" Tatsuya said.
Pegasus then spoke "Thanks for the lively introduction Yuya! And for everyone here this is Erin's first ever Duel Test."
"Tatsuya's first ever Duel test was against her" Kaiba muttered "And he aced it."
Pegasus ignored Kaiba's comment then spoke to Yuya and Erin "Alright, let the Duel commence!"
Erin and Yuya nod activating their Duel Disks, their Duel Disks shuffled their decks and the two drew their top five cards then shouted "DUEL!"
Erin's Life Points: 4000
Yuya's Life Points: 4000
"If you wouldn't mind" Yuya told Erin "I'll be going first!"
"Alright" Erin said.
Yuya checked his hand and got one of the Monsters needed for his technique but decides to test out Erin's skills with a basic move first "Alright then Erin, I summon Performalpal Whip Snake in attack mode!"
Performalpal Whipsnake appeared on the field ATK: 1600
"Turn end" Yuya said wanting to see Erin's deck.
"It's my move!" Erin announced "I draw!"
She drew her card "Sweet! I activate Field Spell Card: Molten Destruction!"
Erin played her Field Spell Card and she announced it's effect "While Molten Destruction is on the field all Fire Type Monsters gain five hundred more attack points!"
"That's incredible!" Yuya said.
"Oh it is!" Erin announced "I summon UFO Turtle to the field in attack mode!"
Blazing Impachi appeared on the field ATK: 1400
"Thanks to Molten Destruction he gets stronger!" Erin announced.
U.F.O Turtle's attack points increased by five hundred. 1400-1900
"I activate Performalpal Whip Snake's ability!" Yuya announced "During any Player's Main Phase, I switch the target's defense points to it's attack points!"
"What the?" Erin asked as her U.F.O Turtle's attack points switched to it's defense points. ATK: 1700.
"Then we battle!" Erin announced "U.F.O Turtle! Attack Performalpal Whip Snake!"
"Both monsters will be destroyed!" Yuya announced.
"True!" Erin said "But when U.F.O Turtle is destroyed by Battle, I am allowed to search through my deck and Special Summon a Monster with Fifteen Hundred attack points or below!"
Yuya blinked "Oh?"
U.F.O Turtle roars slamming itself into Yuya's Monster and both were destroyed but Erin had activated U.F.O Turtle's effect to bring out another U.F.O Turtle ATK: 1900 Erin smiled "Since that effect was used during my Battle Phase that means I can attack you directly!"
U.F.O Turtle attacks Yuya directly.
Yuya took the full impact on it. Yuya's Life Points: 2100
"Next" Erin said "I'll set one Card Face down turn end."
"Alright enough fooling around!" Yuya announced "It's my move, I draw!"
He drew his card "Perfect! It's time I do my new technique!"
He holds up Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician "I'll set Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician in my Pendulum Zone!"
"Pendulum Zone?" Erin, Yugi and Kaiba asked.
Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician appeared in two new Zones that seemed to act like Spell cards.
"With this" Yuya looks at Erin "I have set the Pendulum Scale of One to Eight! Which means I can do a new type of summon known as Pendulum Summon! The Scale I set allows me to Special Summon any Monster from my Hand from Level one to Level 7!"
"WHAT? THEN THAT MEANS?!" Erin shouted as she was shocked about this even Kaiba and Yugi were shocked.
"That's right prepare to be amazed Erin! A dark aura engulfs Yuya as he spoke out a chant "Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters!"
He choose three of his Monsters "So with the Pendulum Summon I Special Summon, Xiangke Magician Performalpal Splashmammoth, and Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon!"
Yuya's Monsters appeared, ATK: 100, 1900, 2800.
"Nuts!" Erin muttered.
"Next" Yuya said "I'll activate Performalpal Splashmamoth's effect! I can use it's effect to Fusion Summon any Dragon Fusion Monster using Monsters I have on the field without the aide of Polymerization."
"Uh-oh" Erin muttered.
Yuya nods "With Performalpal Splashmamoth's effect I'll fuse Xiangke Magician and Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon!"
" Wielder of Mysterious Power, become the bright light and dwell in the eyes of the Dragon! Fusion Summon! Come Forth! Arcane Dragon Wielder of Ancient Magic! Level 8! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared ATK 3000.
"That's a lot of Monster" Erin muttered.
Yuya smiles "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon gets to attack as many times as the level of the Magician Monster I used to Fusion Summon it! Xiangke Magician is a Level 7 Monster! Which means my Monster can attack FIVE TIMES!"
"FIVE TIMES!" Erin shouted.
"That's correct!" Yuya said "So Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, for my first attack, attack her U.F.O Turtle! Spiral Sky Shot "
Erin watches as Yuya's Monster attacked her U.F.O Turtle striking it and dealing damage to her.
Erin is on the ground as her Life Points fall. Erin's Life Points: 2900
"That was just attack number one!" Yuya tells her.
"Not so fast, I activate my U.F.O Turtle's Special ability to Special Summon another Fire Attribute Monster, and I choose a Solar Flare Dragon!"
Solar Flare Dragon appears on Erin's Side of the field ATK: 2000
"Rune-Eyes can attack four more times!" Yuya tells her "Rune-Eyes attack again with Spiral Sky Shot!"
"Not this time!" Erin announced "I activate my Trap Card: Inferno Barrier!"
Fire appeared protecting Erin's Solar Flare Dragon and protecting Erin's Life Points as she announced the effect "Inferno Barrier is a fire version of Negate Attack! It negates your attack and inflicts five hundred points of damage to you for each Monster you have on your side of the field."
Yuya watches as his Life Points fall a bit "Impressive!" Yuya's Life Points: 1600
"Turn end" Yuya announced.
"It's my move!" Erin announced "I draw!"
She drew her card then checked her hand. She had to be careful of Rune-Eyes as it could attack her five times. She saw a move "Neat! I'll switch Solar Flare Dragon into defense mode and even though it loses four hundred defense points, it's better doing so to protect my Life Points..."
Solar Flare Dragon switched into defense mode DEF: 600
"Next" Erin said "I'll activate my own Spell Card: Polymerization!"
The Spell Card was played "With it I'll fuse my Elemental Hero Avion with Elemental Burstintrix in order to Fusion Summon."
As the two Monsters are fusing Erin begins to chant "Hero of the Phoenix of unlimited life, rise from the flames and emerge...Fusion Summon...Level 6 Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer!"
Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer appeared on the field ATK: 2600
"Next" Erin said looking at her hand "I'll set my friend Fox Fire, in defense mode!"
Fox Fire appeared on the field DEF: 0
"I place one card face-down and end my turn" Erin said hoping she had enough Life Points left to survive his next turn "But before you can go Solar Flare Dragon damages your Life Points by five hundred every time I end my turn!"
Yuya watches as Solar Flare Dragon burned his Life Points. Yuya's Life Points: 1100
"My move!" Yuya announced "I draw!"
He drew his card "Once again I activate the Pendulum Summon but for one of my best monsters!"
He then began to chant out another chant " Appear! Wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared on the field ATK: 2500
"Next" Yuya said "I'll activate the Spell Card: Smile World!"
Yuya plays his last card "This card gives my Monsters one hundred attack points per Monster on the field."
"On the field?" Erin asked alarmed she had two Monsters and Yuya had two.
Yuya nods "So both my Monsters gain four hundred attack points!"
Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon both gained four hundred attack points. 3000-3400, 2500-2900
"Now" Yuya said "Battle! Remember Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon can attack five times! So here comes the first attack on your Solar Flare Dragon, go Spiral Sky Shot!"
"Not so fast!" Erin announced "I activate Solar Flare Dragon's ability If I have another Pyro Monster out on the field I can change the attack to it! So, sorry Fox Fire this goes to you!"
Fox Fire leaps in the way and is destroyed.
"Okay" Yuya said "My attack continues! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack Solar Flare Dragon once again with another Spiral Sky Shot!"
This time it strikes Erin's Solar Flare Dragon destroying it. Since both Monsters were in Defense Mode, Erin's Life Points were spared, but now Erin had one Monster left and Yuya had three attacks left.
"Now, Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer with a third Spiral Sky Shot!"
Erin stood up ready "Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer has his own special ability, he can't be destroyed in battle!"
"Incredible!" Yuya reported "But Rune-Eyes still can do damage to you!"
Erin watches as the recoil damage comes to her and she takes the attack to her Life Points. Erin's Life Points: 2100
"Now take a fourth attack!" Yuya told her "Rune-Eyes attack again Spiral Sky Shot!"
A forth attack strikes Erin's Fusion monster and her Life points decrease yet again.
Erin's Life Points: 1300
"And now the last attack Rune-Eyes has" Yuya tells her "Spiral Sky Shot!"
A fifth attack hits Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer and Erin's Life Points decrease again.
Erin's Life Points: 500
"Now" Yuya told Erin "I shall win this! As I have Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon out, and he's stronger than your Phoenix Enforcer by three hundred, and with his effect he can double the Battle damage he inflicts! Go Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack her Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer! Strike Burst of Spirals!"
"If this connects Erin loses!" Joey reported.
"Right after Tatsuya beat her" Sakura muttered "Yuya manages to."
"Such a powerful new summoning technique" Yugi muttered.
Erin watches the attack get to her "Not today! I activate my Trap Card: Defense Draw! It makes any Battle Damage Zero I'd take from this attack 0 and I get to draw one card!"
Just as Yuya's attack hits her Monster and tried to transfer the Battle Damage but thanks to Defense Draw her Life Points are spared and she drew one card.
"That was a close one!" Joey reported.
"Indeed it was" Blair said sighing with relief.
Pegasus watches his student thinking Okay, Erin-Girl, now what will you do? Yuya has you in a bind. In just three turns! A Monster that can attack you five times in one Battle Phase and one that double Battle Damage when it attacks. Something tells me that we have more to go with but we now have seen what he can do."
This Pendulum Summoning is quite impressive Seto Kaiba thought However in order to do that one must have both Pendulum zones occupied...At that matter they are treated like Spell Cards. So if one destroys one of the zones it'll be stopped... Seto Kaiba grinned Tatsuya has Horus the Black Flame Dragon Level 8 and that's a direct counter to Yuya's Monsters...So my student's deck would wreck Yuya's.
Yuya then looked at Erin "My Battle Phase is over and it looks like you were able to hang on. It's not easy to hold out against me so...Let's see what you do to Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. Plus once I end my turn the effect of Smile World wears off! So I end my turn!"
Erin studied the field her Phoenix Enforcer was an impressive Monster and as long as it stayed out on the field it couldn't be destroyed by battle "When you end your turn Yuya, if Fox Fire was destroyed by battle she returns to the field!"
Fox Fire returned on Erin's side of the field DEF: 0
Erin knew she had to turn this duel around and thought Oh great, if I don't get a good card I'll be crushed next turn and Yuya has two Monsters that really are going to give me problems! Yuya was right, I got off lucky during his turn...However I can't give up...I won't! As long as I believe in myself and the heart of the Cards as Yugi says so many times, I gotta trust myself in the heart of the cards! "It's my move, I draw!"
She drew her card then checked her hand then saw what she drawn her hand and it was Fusion Recovery and the card she had drawn with Defense Draw's help was indeed Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys. She didn't have Polymerization and she checked Yuya's Life Points which were at eleven hundred so she decides to go with it "Here I go, I activate Spell Card: Fusion Recovery!"
Erin's Spell Card was played and Yuya recognizes it "Great, so now you can search threw your Graveyard and retrieve one Polymerization and one Fusion Material Monster and add them to your hand."
Erin nods "Correct so I'll take Elemental Hero Burstinitrix from the Graveyard!"
Both the Elemental Hero Monster and Polymerization were soon added into her hand. Then she spoke "Next, I activate the Spell Card: Polymerization once more!"
"I'm afraid no fusion will be able to topple any of my Monsters!" Yuya said "At least not enough to beat me!"
Erin smiled "That's where you are wrong! With Polymerization, I'll fuse my Fox Fire on the field, with my Sacred Phoenix of Nepthys."
Fox Fire and Sacred Phoenix of Neptys appeared and began to fuse as Erin begins to chant for her best Monster "Phoenix of Fire rise from the ashes and fuse with a kitsune to emerge to burn your enemies away...Fusion Summon, Level 8, Fox Fire, Phoenix Kyuubi Mode!"
Fox Fire Phoenix Kyuubi Mode appeared on the field with a mighty roar ATK: 3000
Thanks to Molten Destruction, Erin's Monster gained five hundred more attack points. 3000-3500
"Oh great" Yuya said seeing Fox Fire Phoenix Kyubbi Mode out "I never seen that Monster before!"
Blair smiled seeing Erin's ace "It's always nice to see that Monster."
Yugi looks at it "Funny, she never used it in our tag Duel against Demonica and MFWD's second in command."
"Most likely she didn't get the cards to Fusion Summon it" Joey said "But when she does get it, that's a powerful card and it doesn't look like any of Yuya's Monsters can defeat it."
Yuya then spoke "You got a very nice Monster Erin! Too bad she can only attack one of my Monsters, oh and if you try to attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Battle he'll just go into my Extra Deck zone and during my turn I'll be able to Pendulum Summon him back onto the field. Plus regardless on who you attack I'll survive!"
Erin smiled "That's true...My Fox Fire Phoenix Kyubbi Mode is the strongest Monster on the field right now and she can easily destroy your Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon or your Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. While Phoenix Enforcer can take Odd-Eyes down easily...You'd survive my attack if I attacked...However, Fox Fire Phoenix Kyubbi Mode has a special ability for you and sadly for you Yuya being brought down to Eleven Hundred Life Points and two Monsters on your side of the field won't be enough to save you."
"Why is that?" Yuya asked curious.
Erin answered "Simple Yuya! Let me introduce you to Fox Fire Phoenix Kyubbi Mode's Special ability! Once per turn, I can offer up any other FIRE attribute Monster on my side of the field to send it to the Graveyard, so that she can destroy all Monsters on YOUR side of the field!"
Yuya gasped "Wait all of them? Then that means I won't have any Monsters to defend me!"
"Correct" Erin told him with a smile on her face.
Yuya then smirked "However even I know that even if your Monster uses it's effect to wipe out all of my Monsters then you can't attack with her!"
"That's true" Erin admitted "I can't attack with her however there's more to Fox Fire Phoenix Kyubbi Mode's Effect, after she destroys all of your Monsters she inflicts eight Hundred Points of Damage to you for each Monster destroyed."
Yuya then gasped once more "It inflicts Life Point Damage as well?"
Erin nods "Let's do this Fox Fire, Phoenix Kyubbi Mode! I offer up Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer in order for you to unleash your Sacred Phoenix Kyubbi Inferno!"
Yuya watches in amazement that Erin had found a way around his Pendulum Summons. Surviving six attacks during his last turn, then managing to get Fusion Recovery for this incredible Fusion Monster. He watches as Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer vanishes and seemed to be absorbed into Erin's Fusion Monster it roared then gathered in a huge fire attack sending it out like a nuclear bomb nuking Yuya's side of the field destroying all of her monsters in an intense blazing inferno. As the fire makes it's way over to Yuya he smiled as he thought Win or lose, you pulled through! And you never lost faith. You might been thinking to surrender but good job Erin!
He braces himself as the Fire from Erin's Monster got to him burning him while sending him onto his butt and deputing his Life Points.
Erin's Life Points: 500
Yuya's Life Points: 0
"Erin won!" Phineas shouted.
"Impressive" Kaiba said looking at Erin's best Fusion Monster, oh if he had to Duel Erin one day himself this was one Monster he would have to contend for and one that could spell danger to even his Blue-Eyes if he allowed Erin to use it's effect he looks at Tatsuya "Well your ace can beat Erin's ace due to it needing Polymerization."
Tatsuya agreed "Or I could use Starlight Road or Stardust Dragon's effect on it."
Erin sighed as she knew Kaiba and Tatsuya were talking about her and how to counter her ace Monster. She was quick to note that Tatsuya would have to have Starlight Road or Stardust Dragon on the field or Horus, the Black Flame Dragon Level 8 on the field to stop her ace. Which meant she had to get her ace quickly and of course what she didn't tell them was Fox Fire Phoenix Kyuubi Mode wasn't easily destroyed, yes you could destroy it by battle but by the opponent's end phase it would revive itself, if by Card effect it would revive itself on Erin's stand-by Phase destroying all of her opponent's spells and Trap Cards so while it could be destroyed briefly it was always going to come back.
Seto Kaiba turned "Come on Tatsuya, we're leaving."
"Yes sir!" Tatsuya replied walking with Seto Kaiba out of the area.
Erin walked over to Yuya "Are you okay?"
"Yeah!" Yuya admitted "I'm fine! You were able to overcome me and my tehcnique known as Pendulum Summon."
Joey grinned at the mention of now being able to beat Seto Kaiba "You gotta teach me how to do that! I have a feeling that I will be able to beat Seto Kaiba for once."
"Earth to Joey" Tea reminded him "Kaiba saw Yuya doing that. He's bound to figure out a weakness it has."
"I already know one" Yugi said already figuring out that in order to Pendulum Summon one needed a Pendulum Scale to set and these Monsters were treated also as Spell Cards so they could be destroyed by cards like Heavy Storm and be effected by Giant Trunade...Or as Yugi thought on it, Tatsuya's deck would be truly devastating on Yuya's deck once Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv8 got onto the field, it would be easily able to stop Yuya's technique and he was sure Kaiba was informing Tatsuya of that weakness already "And sadly so does Kaiba."
Erin helped Yuya up "Thanks for the Duel Yuya."
"You're welcome!" Yuya said he smiles extending his hand towards hers "Even though I lost, it was fun! We should have a rematch one day!"
Erin smiled shaking his hand "You're on Yuya!"
Yuzu walked over to Erin "You're the second opponent he lost to that's a girl."
"Really?" Erin asked "Whose the first girl he lost to?"
"Me" Yuzu said then she whispered to Erin's ears "Only because he forgot how to Pendulum Summon that one time."
Erin sweat dropped "How'd he forget?"
Yuzu shrugged "Not sure, but he did...Honestly I felt cheated out of that victory due to him forgetting how to do that."
"I don't blame you" Erin admitted to her "It's like Alexis told me when I first met her at Duel Academy, I'd feel horrible if someone didn't bring their A Game, and I'd feel even cheated out if they forgot to do a summoning method."
Pegasus then stood up checking off his testing sheet seeing she had passed it. She didn't surrender but she did look like it when it looked like things were going bad. Oh that she still needed work on but at least she figured to continue Dueling even when things looked bad. He knew she had Swords of Revealing Light in her deck so maybe she could've gotten that and prepared herself more for a better hand to deal with Yuya's Monsters. She turned to him as he spoke "Congratulations Erin, you passed your first ever Duel Exam I gave you. Even if you had lost to him you still would've passed for that last turn you did which turned the duel around."
Sakura smiled hugging her daughter "It's great to have you back to normal."
"Thanks mommy!" Erin said.
Sakura then revealed the Time Card and Yuya caught a look of it "You're giving your daughter another Sakura Card Mrs. Syaoran?"
Sakura nodded "I am."
Erin took a look at the card "You're giving me the Time Card?"
Sakura nodded "Consider it a gift. I doubt it'll turn into a Duel Monster card like Firey Clow Spirit and Shield did, but I trust you to know when to use Time."
"Won't it not help us?" Joey asked her remembering that he had been frozen by the Time Card when Erin was practicing to learn to use her mother's cards.
"It won't freeze any of Erin's friends or family" Sakura said "It'll freeze the enemy though."
"What good would that do?" Blair asked her.
Syaoran Li answered "Sometimes you'll be outnumbered on a mission and it would probably be best to run while the Time Card freezes your opponents temporarily allowing you to get away safely. Sakura's doing a good decision giving Erin that card.
Erin took the Time Card "Alright then I'll take it."
"Good sweetie" Sakura said.
Blair turned to Erin "See I told you that you're still a good Duelist."
"That you did" Erin admitted "And sorry for being that way."
"All duelist get that way once in their lives" Joey told her.
"What's important to do in that case" Yuya advised her "To think on what went wrong and how you can prepare for it."
"He's right" Blair told her best friend "In your Duel with Tatsuya, you were really close to him thanks to your Burn Effects. I mean you got him down to eight hundred Life Points left so you're deck was evenly matched to him...It's just that you didn't know about him having Horus, the Black Flame Dragon Level 8 in his deck! And it beat you. So he may have crushed you during that last turn of his when he Special Summoned his ace but...I do suppose seeing Joey get crushed by him didn't help you ether."
Erin nodded "Yeah...It didn't help."
"So" Pegasus said "With the action all done here today, we should prepare ourselves for tomorrow."
Yuya agreed "Indeed!"
Phineas and Ferb turned "You bet! We gotta get a new offensive against MFWD."
The group now walks back inside Pegasus's mansion to prepare for their next offensive.
