Chapter 38: Sibling Duel
Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptors or Yugioh. I do own Erin. Also Erin's Rival Tatsuya is another OC I own.
Erin with her friends had finally made it safe and secured at Pegasus's mansion. Erin was glad to be back into what she thought of was friendly space. Lillie was in one of Pegasus's rooms laying on a bed barefoot with her boots on the floor being looked over at from medics that Pegasus had called over. Phineas, and Ferb decided to be on look out duty while Lillie was being looked over to and examined for any injuries in her time in captivity. Gladion was outside his sister's room giving her time she needed to recover. As he is thinking on what his sister must've had to go through in that time, it made him angry that his mother Lusamine had done this to her own daughter. Now he had to be the big brother of the two and protect Lillie, no more would he decide to work for Guzma. As he is thinking he sees Yuya turning to him flashing a smile "Everything will work out in the end Gladion!"
Gladion turned to Yuya "Once we get Cosmog back it will be. There is a reason why one should fear the Ultra Beasts because even though Wild Pokemon will attack people Ultra Beasts will do that to the point where they'd possibly eat or kill that person."
Yuya sighs understanding Gladion's point while putting a hand on Gladion's shoulder "Look man, I understand what's going on and I agree it looks bad...However if one spends too much time thinking on the problem you'll lose what's most important to you. Yourself! Yes, Lillie needs your help more than ever now, for that to work you always have to think on the positive solutions and always face the problem with a smile."
Gladion sighed thinking Yuya's sounding like Hao...The Melhelme Island's Kahuna's grandson.
Alexis overheard Yuya and Gladion's conversation and agreed with Yuya "Yuya's right you know Gladion."
The two turn over to the Obelisk Blue whom explained herself more "I have a brother too and one day like you Gladion he went missing. Then even more mysteriously returned as Nightshroud which Jaden dueled and beat in a Shadow Duel allowing my brother to return to normal. As a little sister myself I was worried about my brother when he first disappeared and now am a bit relaxed knowing he's back to normal."
Gladion looks at Alexis whom flashed a smile "Now as Yuya just pointed out Lillie needs your help the most. She needs her strong brother to help her out in this hard time in her life after coming off of being Lusamine's captive. It's time to further more bond with your sister more after you ran away from Aether Paradise."
Gladion looked at the two humans giving him advise and thought on it "You're right, Lillie does need me, but we also need to focus on stopping Lusamine."
"And we're going to do that" Yuya said with a smile on his face then he looks at Gladion in a serious tone "When Lillie has recovered enough to walk on her two feet. While we can focus on her recovery it shouldn't be rushed, plus we all have to in my father's words face the challenge with a smile!"
Gladion actually held back an unseen smile as he thought Yuya's right. We can't rush Lillie's recovery...But he's a bit strange when he says we have to face the challenge with a smile.
Acelora, Blair, and Erin were walking alongside each other. Despite Acelora being a Pokemon Trainer, the three found themselves as friends with one another. Acelora looked out Pegasus's mansion's walls as the trio were overhearing the conversation between Alexis, Gladion, and Yuya. Erin nodded at Yuya's words of encouragement but like Gladion sort of was puzzled on why they should tackle every new obstacle with a smile. Erin did know Yuya knew how serious the situation was but in this dark time she found it odd that he was actually the only one of their group to show some light in this situation. Blair turned to Erin as if sensing Erin's puzzlement "While I'm not totally sure why you'd want to tackle every obstacle with a smile, I can guess, if you think on the situation that seems impossible and not smile you may not think entirely straight."
"It's also who Yuya is" Acelora added on causing Blair and Erin to turn to her "Hugh?"
Acelora explained looking at Yuya "In all my years as a Trial Captain, I've never entirely encountered Yuya's type before. Some say Hao the Melehme Island's Kahuna's grandson might be the closest to Yuya as he's nearly always smiling, but even I know he can break into not smiling. It's how Yuya was raised, he's told me that he wants to be an Entertainment Duelist meaning he wants to entertain the crowd watching him.-"
"That would explain the Ladies and Gentlemen part" Erin muttered remembering Yuya said those words when she and him Dueled.
Acelora nodded then noticed Joey wasn't around the mansion "Where's Joey?"
Erin answered "He went to check up on his own sister Serenity make sure she's okay and is informing Yugi on what has developed over the past couple of days."
"It is always a good idea to have back up" Blair admitted "And having the King of Games on our side as an ally is a good way to start that backup."
"True there."
Phineas's voice echoed an alarm to Erin "Erin! Ferb and I just saw your parents! There coming this way!"
Erin smiled wanting to see her mom and dad again after fearing she'd never see them again after he run in with Cobra Dragon "Coming! Come on Acelora! I want you to meet my parents!"
"Alright" Acelora said.
The three girls run down the hallway towards the front door which when they stopped they saw Ferb setting up a security system which oddly started with an invisible inferred lasers which were tucked underneath the floor. Phineas explained to the three "This is just the first step in making sure no one from MFWD ever enters the mansion. We've programmed a computer to know who is on which side. It even can detect Demonica in disguise."
"What would happen if someone from MFWD enters?" Acelora asked.
Phineas answered pressing a switch and several guns emerged from their hiding spaces. Acelora smiles "That'll do!"
Phineas presses the button again and the guns retreat just as Sakura knocks on the door "Erin, sweetie? Are you in?"
"I am mommy!"
Phineas opened the door allowing Sakura and Syaoran Li to enter. Once Sakura entered Erin ran towards her mother hugging her "Mommy!"
Sakura smiles giggling happily while holding her daughter "Erin, sweetie!"
Sakura was happy to hold her daughter "You're safe."
"Told you Pegasus wouldn't let her die" Syaoran told Sakura.
Sakura nodded "True but I was afraid we'd lose her."
Erin blushes loving her mother and father. Once Sakura put Erin down, Erin turns to Acelora "Mommy, this is Acelora, she's a Trial Captain on Ula'ula Island."
Sakura smiled stretching her hand over to Acelora "Nice to meet you Acelora, I'm Sakura Syaoran."
Acelora smiles shaking Sakura's hand "Nice to meet you too Mrs. Syoaran."
Sakura turns to Li "And this is Li."
Syaoran Li shook Acelora's hand "Thanks for helping our daughter out."
"I didn't do that much" Acelora admitted "Although I did help to free Lillie."
"We've heard about that" Sakura muttered "Is Lillie okay?"
"She's recovering in one of Pegasus's rooms" Blair answered.
Sakura and Li walked forward and Ferb helped his brother slam the door shut and resume guarding the front door.
"What's with the yellow chest armor Erin?" Li asked his daughter.
Erin blushes answering "To save Lillie we needed armor to save us from MFWD whom are now militarized."
"It's called Duel Armor" Blair added on "When fully activated it allows us to use a Duel Monster card or in Acelora's case her Ghostium Z Crystal to use as armor to protect us."
"It works" Acelora said.
Sakura took off her shoes along with Li and the two walk with their daughter and her friends seeing Yuya and Gladion. Li made as if to attack him but after Alexis explained to him what was going on Li didn't. Sakura knocks on the door "Mr. Pegasus...How's Lillie?"
"Oh, Mrs. Syaoran!" Pegasus said "She's recovering, you can come in."
Sakura nodded opening the door and walked into see Lillie. Lillie looked up to see Sakura almost mistaking Sakura for Erin "Erin?"
Sakura smiled at her gently "No, I'm not Erin, I'm her mother Sakura. How are you?"
"I've had better days" Lillie sighed.
Sakura took this hint and walked to Lillie's right side and gently kneels "You've been threw a lot."
"How could my mom do this to me?"
Sakura sighed shrugging "Hard to exactly pin point on why...No parent in my mind wants to do harm to her child."
She looked at Lillie "However you have friends even a brother that care for you."
Lillie blushes "I just met Erin though..."
"Doesn't matter" Syaoran Li told her "Even if they just met you, they still care for you."
Lillie blushes "Thanks..."
The head doctor whispers something to Pegasus how Lillie should be okay to walk around now but her mental state would take a while to recover. Pegasus nods "Stand by to make sure she's fine for that too my good man."
The doctor nodded.
Pegasus turned to Lillie "If you want Lillie, you can get up and walk around."
"Thank you" Lillie said looking at her bag sighing that it didn't have Nebby any more.
She gets up and put the bag over her shoulder and walks out the door while Pegasus, had a chat with Sakura and Li.
Once out of her room Lillie sees her brother Gladion and rushes over to him "Gladion!"
"Lillie!" Gladion said looking at his sister.
Lillie hugged him she looks at the bag that once held Nebby "Nebby...I've failed to protect you."
"You didn't fail him" Gladion told her.
"But I did" Lillie said "I told it I would help it find a way to get back home...And it's in our mother's hands."
"Nothing's ever settled Lillie!" Yuya told her.
She turned to Yuya confused on what he meant Yuya smiled "Hey, Lillie! The name's Yuya! I'm an Entertainment Duelist! Anyway, nothing's ever settled, your mother may have Nebby but...For how long?"
Lillie blinked confused "She'll find a way to use Nebby."
Yuya shook his head then smiled "Not if we have anything to say about it! You have a good heart Lillie! And we'll help you free Nebby! We just have to think on where Nebby is!"
Lillie tries to rack her brain but she couldn't remember, all she knew her mother had it but the rest was scrambled like her brain was erased specifically for that info. It frustrated her and she checked her Duel Disk as she then had a thought turning to Gladion "Gladion...Remember when we used to Duel for fun?"
Gladion nodded "I seem to remember I've beaten you every time we did."
Lillie blushes red "Yeah...All those times I didn't know much about Deck building...and my decks had no balance in them as you pointed out those times...However...I believe I have one that has balance..."
She pauses looking at Gladion "And I'd like to fully have a Duel against you."
Gladion looks at her "You stand no chance against me Lillie. Perhaps you should try it on Erin...Or even..."
Gladion turns to see Joey back "Or even try it on Wheeler."
Joey blinked having nearly been shot at by the guns at the entrance of Pegasus's mansion...Perhaps he shouldn't have kicked the door "What this thing about Dueling?"
Gladion looked at him "Lillie has requested me to Duel her."
"Go for it man!"
Alexis smiled "Yeah Gladion! Don't shrug Lillie off! Just because you've beaten her in the past many times due to her having no balance in her deck-"
"Wait no balance?" Joey asked remembering that his deck once had that when he was starting to learn Duel Monsters "Hold on Lillie! I changed my mind! Gladion's right! You should have a practice duel against me after all you do want to go start off slow! Then afterwards if you want to then you can Duel Gladion!"
Lillie smiled seeing Gladion and Joey's point of view now but shook her head "Sorry, even though I see your point Joey, I've decided that I'd like to duel Gladion to officially start off my dueling career."
"That a girl!" Yuya said encouraging her "Go get your brother! Show him that you're skills have grown since your last duel."
Gladion looks at Lillie "May I ask why you want to Duel me?"
Lillie blushes answering "It's not that I don't want to Duel Joey for practice...It's also" she stares at her bag that once contained Nebby "I feel as if I should start dueling for something...After all the King of Games often Dueled for his grandpa and Joey duels for his sister. It's time I also duel for something and for Nebby's sake I should start..."
"Plus" Phineas said as he and Ferb were taking a break from guarding the front door "Another reason maybe she wants to impress you Gladion. Plus she must feel really awful at not being able to do a thing to protect Nebby from being swiped by her mother."
Lillie looks at the group then eyes her brother "Please?"
"Fine" Gladion told her "But please know I'm not going to take it easy on you just because your my sister!"
"Fine by me!" Lillie said "I wouldn't have it any other way!"
"Inside the mansion?" Erin asked them.
Lillie smiled "I have always wanted to Duel in Kaiba Corp."
This time Joey interfered "Please Lillie! Phineas and Ferb set up a nice Duel field outside in Pegasus's backyard it's twice as good as Kaiba's place! Plus it's safer and friendlier than Kaiba's place!"
Lillie smiled "Thanks for the offer but I'd like to Duel at Kaiba Corp."
Gladion put a hand to his face wanting to Duel in the back of Pegasus's mansion but he saw his sister's point "Alright, since Lillie wants to Duel me, I'll face her off there."
"Ahhhh..." Joey complained.
"Just this one Duel" Lillie told Joey "I promise!"
"Fine..."
Erin ran to her mother and father telling them she would be watching the Duel between Gladion and Lillie. Sakura nodded "Okay Erin, your father and I still have to discuss with Pegasus what our next move is. Go and watch the Duel-"
"And stay close to your friends young lady" Li told her.
"I will! Thanks mommy and daddy!"
Erin with her friends start walking to the Kaiba Dome. It took half an hour to walk to the Kaiba Dome but they manged to. Lillie whistles "This Dome looks better in real life then on TV."
"I'll take that as a compliment" Kaiba said overhearing this.
Yuya, Phineas and Ferb were holding back Joey. Erin looks at Kaiba as he looks at her "Welcome back...Tastuya's rival shouldn't be killed by some venomous Cobra Dragon."
Erin blushes bright red hating Kaiba herself at the moment. Kaiba looks at Lillie and Gladion "What brings you to the Kaiba Dome?"
"Oh, those two are brother and sister" Joey told Kaiba "And Lillie wants to Duel Gladion in the Kaiba Dome and not in the back of Pegasus's mansion."
Kaiba smirked out a reply "Good! Shows that she has brains! After all one's first duel should be started in the Kaiba Dome right Tatsuya?"
Tatsuya was with Yuzu as the two were with Kaiba. Tatsuya turned to Seto Kaiba "Of course Mr. Kaiba."
Joey sighs seeing Kaiba looking at the armor Erin and the others on his team was wearing. Kaiba shows Lillie and Gladion around however mostly he was showing Lillie around. Once at the dome, Lillie was on one side with Gladion on the other side. Acelora, Alexis, Blair, Erin, Joey, Kaiba, Phineas, Ferb, Tatsuya, Yuya, and Yuzu sat to watch the Duel.
"A duel between brother and sister" Yuzu muttered "Don't see much of that...Yuya, who do you think may win?"
Yuya shrugged "Not sure...Gladion knows how to Pendulum Summon and his ace Monster gave Alexis and Erin a run for their money. However this new Lillie and her deck might give Gladion a challenge."
Erin studies it with Kaiba focusing too ordering Tatsuya to study this Duel closely while at Yuzu's side.
"Ready Lillie?" Gladion asked Lillie.
Lillie nods "I am! I'm going to start Dueling for Nebby's sake...Plus this may give me an idea onto where mom is holding Nebby!"
Gladion now saw his sister's point and nodded "Then come at me at one hundred percent of your strength Lillie! Show me what you've got!"
"I shall!" Lillie said.
The two blonds activate their Duel Disks, and drew their top five cards shouting "DUEL!"
Gladion's Life Points: 4000
Lillie's Life Points: 4000
"I'll start us off" Gladion told Lillie.
Lillie nodded allowing him to do so. Gladion checked his hand "Alright then first I'll activate Continuous Spell: Extra Draw!
A continuous Spell Card appeared on Gladion's side of the field and he explained the effect "Any time you Lillie or I summon a Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, or XYZ Monster, I get to draw one card for each material monster used."
Lillie nodded as Gladion then spoke "The reason I say this is because I activate my Spell Card: Polymerization! Fusing Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts, and Befermet in my hand. The two Monsters he selected begin fusing together with Gladion chanting out "Flying rular of the skies, roar down from the heavens and swoop down pouncing on your prey...Fusion Summon...Level 6, Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!"
Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast appeared on Gladion's side of the field ATK: 2100
Gladion nodded "Due to being able to Fusion Summon, Extra Draw allows me to draw one card for each Material Monster used in it. Since Chimera needs to to Fusion Summon, I can draw two cards!"
With this said, Gladion drew two more cards.
"Not a bad set up" Kaiba complimented "So it doesn't matter who Fusion Summons, Ritual Summons, Synchro Summons, or XYZ Summons he will be able to draw one card for each monster used.
"Turn end" Gladion said.
"Alright then!" Lillie announced "I draw!"
She drew her card then checked her hand then smiled "Time to show you Gladion that I've grown a bit, I activate a Monster's effect from my hand, if I have no Monsters on my field I can special Summon, Windwitch Snowbell from my hand!"
Windwitch Snowbell appeared on Lillie's side of the field ATK: 1000
"Doing that has activated her second special effect!" Lillie told Gladion "Once she is Special Summoned, I can search through my deck to Special Summon any level four or below Windwitch Monster, and I choose, the level four Wind Witch Glassbell Tuner Monster!"
Wind Witch Glassbell appears on the field ATK: 1500
Lillie then points to Wind Witch Snowbell "I activate the last ability of Windwitch Snowbell! If it is ever Normal Summoned or Special Summoned I can inflict five hundred points of damage to my opponent, so go Snowbell, use your Freezing Wind Effect!"
Windwitch Snowbell unleashed it's freezing winds at Gladion, Gladion took the winds and his Life Points fell "Not bad Lillie! Not bad but it'll take more than that to stop me."
Gladion's Life Points: 3500
Lillie grinned "Then I better step it up! I'm going to Tune my Level Four Windwitch Glassbell with my Level 3 Windwitch Snowbell!"
Windwitch Glassbell split into four rings scanning Windwitch Snowbell as Lillie chants out "Witch of the Winter unleash a snowstorm that spreads terror on the battle field...Synchro Summon Level 7, Windwitch Winterbell!"
Out of a bright flash of light Windwitch Winterbell appears on the field ATK: 2400
"Amazing Lillie!" Gladion told his sister "You finally learned how to Synchro Summon after all these years!"
Lillie smiled at her brother's compliment as she thought to back in the days they had dueled when they were younger...Yes her brother seemed to always win against her, but that was because she didn't have any balance in her deck. Balance meaning, no Spells or Trap Cards, usually for most Duelist this meant they couldn't compete against decks that had all that. Now that she understood that she was able to build this deck, and she was now testing it out on her brother in an official duel between her and him. In the past this was just for fun and never counted, this was now. "Not bad Lillie" Gladion told her looking at her Synchro "But you're movement has reactivated Extra Draw, allowing me to draw one card for each Synchro Material Monster you used, once again I draw two cards!"
He drew two cards as Lillie let him and spoke with determination to show her brother how much she grown as a Duelist "Then Gladion let me introduce you to Windwitch Winter Bell's special effect, once per turn, I can select any Windwitch Monster in my Graveyard and Windwitch Winterbell will inflict two hundred points of damage to you per that Monster's level! And I choose the Level four Windwitch Glassbell!"
Gladion nodded "Which means I'm going to get hit for eight hundred points of damage!"
"Correct!" Lillie said then she orders Windwitch Winterbell "Go Windwitch Winterbell unleash Freezing Blizzard!"
Windwitch Winterbell unleashed a violent snowstorm at Gladion whom took the damage but wasn't out just yet. Gladion's Life Points: 2700
"That was only one of Windwitch Winterbell's special ability" Lillie warned her brother "Winterbell has another useful effect but that'll come much later on, now here we go, Battle! Windwitch Winterbell attack Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast! Icy Wind!"
Windwitch Winterbell took aim and fired at Gladion's Chimera destroying it. Gladion's Life Points: 2400
Gladion braces himself as his Life Points fell a bit "When Chimera is destroyed, I can Special Summon Befermet from the Graveyard!"
Befermet emerged from Gladion's Graveyard in defense mode DEF: 1800
Lillie checked her hand "I'll set one card face-down and end my turn"
Kaiba watched the duel with interest thinking Interesting...Windwitch Winterbell does seem to be an impressive Monster to duel against. She can inflict eight hundred points of damage to her brother every time it's out on her side of the field and on her turn. However for a level 7 Monster it does lack some attack, even Yugi's Dark Magician can defeat it. Still it is an impressive Synchro Monster with it sounds like two special effects. Gladion last long enough for me to learn it's second ability.
"It's my move!" Gladion announced "I draw!"
He drew his card checking his hand which now had six cards in it "I'll set one card face down, turn end."
"It's my move!" Lillie announced "I draw!"
She drew her card "Neat! I activate Spell Card: Monster Reborn!"
Kaiba grinned thinking Nice to see a deck that has Monster Reborn back in it.
Lillie then spoke Monster Reborn's effect "With Monster Reborn's effect I can Special Summon any Monster in any player's Graveyards and I choose to bring back my Windwitch Snowbell!"
Windwitch Snowbell appeared once again causing Joey to ask Phineas "What's the point of that?"
Phineas answered "I'm sure Lillie wants to hit her brother with some good old chip damage of five hundred points for one thing then we'll just have to wait and see what she has in mind."
Indeed Lillie was planning for that she nods "Now that Windwitch Snowbell is back on the field she'll inflict five hundred points of damage to you! Freezing Wind!"
Gladion took the damage gladly Gladion's Life Points: 1900
"Next" Lillie announced "I activate my own Spell Card: Polymerization! I'll use mine to Fusion Windwitch Winterbell on the field with my Windwitch Snowbell!"
The two windwitches begin fusing together with Lillie chanting out "Windwitch of Crystal Magic appear majestically as the legends say you are. Fusion Summon...Windwitch Crystal Bell!"
Windwitch Crystal Bell appeared on the field ATK: 2800
"Extra Draw's effect!" Gladion reminded his sister "Now I draw one card for each Fusion Material Monster you used!"
He drew two more cards now having a hand of six cards. Lillie wasn't detoured "Won't matter Gladion! You see there is a reason why I fusion Summoned Crystal Bell and it's this, I activate her Special Ability! Once per turn I can select any Monster in my Graveyard and until the end of my turn Crystal Bell's effect changes into that Selected Monsters! And I choose for her to gain the effect of Windwitch Winterbell! So go, Crystal Bell, Crystal Mirage!"
Windwitch Crystal Bell opens her hands and an image of Winterbell appears as she gains Winterbell's effects. Lillie then spoke "Now I'll activate the effect of Windwitch Crystal Bell whom is using the effect of Winterbell! Once per turn! I can select one Windwitch Monster in my Graveyard and inflict 200 points of damage for that Monster's Level and once again I choose Windwitch Winterbell whom is a level seven Monster, go Crystal Bell unleash Winterbell's Freezing Blizzard!"
"I was expecting that" Gladion said smiling "I activate Counter Trap Card: Beast Reversal! If I am to take effect damage, as long as I have a Beast monster on my side of the field or Graveyard, I can negate that Monster's effect once and gain the effect damage as Life Points!"
Lillie gasps knowing what this meant.
Gladion nodded hearing her gasp "That's right, because I was to take fourteen hundred points of damage thanks to Beast Reversal, I can increase my Life Points by that amount instead!"
Lillie watches as Gladion's Life Points instead of decreasing increased by fourteen hundred.
Gladion's Life Points: 3300
"I still have an attack to do!" Lillie pointed out "Go Crystal Bell attack Berfermet!"
Crystal Bell charges forward and slashes Berfermet into pieces.
Lillie checked her hand "I end my turn!"
"It's my move!" Gladion announced "I draw!"
He drew his card "Perfect! It's time to turn this duel around! I'll set the Pendulum Scale using Dragonpulse Magician and Zany Zebra!"
He places Dragonpulse Magician and Zany Zebra in his Pendulum Scale zone and Lillie watches as Gladion spoke "Now I can special Summon monsters ranging from level 2 to 6! Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters! Rescue Cat, Scrap Beast Tuner Monster, and two Photon Saber Tigers!"
Rescue Cat, Scrap Beast, and two Photon Saber Tigers appear on Gladion's side of the field ATK: 300, 1600, and 2000 X2
Kaiba blinked "Why I'll be he too can actually Pendulum Summon..."
Yuya nodded "Now things are going to get interesting!"
Gladion nodded over to Lillie "Now Lillie, I'm going to tune my level four Scrap Beast Tuner Monster with both of my level 3 Photon Saber tigers!"
Alexis knew what was coming as Scrap Beast split into four rings scanning both Photon Saber Tigers "Here it comes..."
Gladion chants out "Guardian of the Trees appear with your mighty roar to pulverize the enemy with your overpowering might...Synchro Summon Level 10, Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree!"
Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree appears on Gladion's side of the field with a mighty roar ATK: 3100
"Doing that" Gladion told Lillie "Reactivates Extra Draw, now I can draw one card for each Synchro Material Monster used, and seeing Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree was used with three Monsters...I draw three more cards!"
He drew three more cards. He then nodded "Next I activate Rescue Cat's ability! By sending it to the Graveyard, I can special Summon up to two level three or below Beast Monsters from my deck! So I'll Special Summon Sea Koala, and Tree Otter!"
Two more Beast Monsters appeared on the field ATK: 100, 1200
"But monsters brought out by Rescue Cat's effect can't attack and are destroyed at the end of his turn" Erin said to Alexis.
Alexis nodded "True which means Gladion has a plan."
Gladion nodded "That's right, I activate Spell Card, Fusion Recovery allowing me to return Befermet and a Polymerization back into my hand!"
He choose the two cards then spoke "Next I activate Polymerization again! Fusing Sea Koala and Tree Otter together!"
The two chosen Fusion Material Monsters begin to fuse with Gladion chanting out "Champion of Koalas come forward to cause destruction against your enemies, Fusion Summon...Level Six! Koalo-Koala!"
A big Koala appeared on the field ATK: 2800.
"Next not only do I draw two more cards due to the two Fusion Material Monsters I have used for this Fusion Monster" Gladion told Lillie drawing two cards "I will now activate Koala-Koala's special effect! Once per turn I can discard one Beast Monster from my hand to the Graveyard then he can destroy one Monster on your side of the field...And"
Gladion discards a Nimble Monoga as he now shouts "Now I'll use his effect to Destroy Windwitch Crystal Bell!"
"Nuts!" Lillie shouted seeing her Fusion destroyed.
Gladion nodded "That's right with that you're wide open!"
Gladion spoke "Now Leo, Keeper of the Scared Tree and Koalo-Koala attacks you directly to end this Duel!"
"Trap Card activate!" Lillie shouted "Wabako! This Trap Card makes any battle damage I take zero! And if there was a monster it wouldn't be destroyed by battle!"
Gladion watches amazed Lillie was able to spring this off "Not bad Lillie, but next turn you are taken out."
Lillie watches as Gladion checked his two new cards "I'll set one card face down and end my turn!"
"It's my move!" Lillie announced "I draw!"
She drew her card seeing she had drawn Offerings to the Doomed. She checked her hand knowing she had to be strong, and that her brother actually turned this tide so far. She saw a Monster in her hand that could help her "I'll set One Monster face-down and then set one card face down and end my turn."
"It's my move!" Gladion announced "I draw!"
Lillie then spoke "I activate my Quick-Play Spell Card: Offerings to the Doomed, now even though I can't draw during my next turn, I can destroy one of your Monsters!"
Gladion looks at her "Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree can't be destroyed by card effects except for when it's on my Main Phase II."
"I know!" Lillie told him "Which is why I'll activate this Card to destroy your Koalo-Koala!"
Gladion watches as his Fusion was destroyed but he was confident Lillie's own Fusion was destroyed for a good while. He then spoke "Then I'll activate my Continuous Trap Card: Pyramid of Light!"
A bright blue Pyramid appeared on Gladion's side of the field and this caused Kaiba to groan remembering that he too once played this Trap Card to try to beat Yugi. Lillie blinked at what her brother was up to and he spoke "It's time that I take control of this duel, with Pyarmid of Light on the field, I can Special Summon two Level 10 Beast Type Monsters and I'll tell you, Erin and Alexis know them...I'll pay five Hundred Life Points in order to Special Summon Andro Sphinx!"
Gladion pays five hundred of his Life Points: 2800
Then after paying it he Special Summon Andro Sphinx ATK: 3000
"Now" Gladion told Lillie paying another five hundred Life Points 2300 "I'll pay another five hundred Life Points in order to Special Summon Sphinx Telehina!"
Sphinx Telehina appears on the field ATK: 2500
Alexis knew "Oh-no! Lillie's in trouble!"
"Correct" Gladion told Alexis he looks at his sister "It's time sis you face my ace! I'll overlay Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree with Andro Sphinx, and Sphinx Telehina!"
Lillie watches as a dark sky clouded above their heads while Gladion chants out " Sphinx of Chimeras, appear from the darkness to terminate our enemies. XYZ Summon, Rank 10 Sphinx Chimera!"
Sphinx Chimera appears on the field ATK: 4000
Lillie looked at her brother's ace then down to her own set Monster which was Marshmellon. Now it couldn't be destroyed by battle. But this was a very big problem and Gladion nodded "Once again Extra Draw will now allow me to draw one card for each XYZ Material Monster used for the XYZ Summon and since Sphinx Chimera needs three level 10 beast Monsters with two of them being Andros Sphinx and Sphinx Telehina, that means I get to draw three cards!
Lillie watches her brother draw three cards "Great..."
Gladion nodded "Next I activate Equip Spell Card: Sphinx Claws! This Equip Spell can only be equipped to Andros Sphinx, Sphinx Telehina, Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree or Sphinx Chimera, and allows the equipped Monster to inflict piercing damage."
Lillie sweat dropped as she spoke her thoughts out loud "Great...This is gonna hurt!"
"That's correct!" Gladion told her "It is! Sphinx Chimera attack Lillie's face-down Monster with Sphinx Crusher!"
Lillie watches as Sphinx Chimera roared pouncing forward and slices her face-down Monster which was Marshmellon!
Lillie screams in pain as the battle damage got to her causing her to kneel to the ground.
Lillie's Life Points: 500
"Ouch!" Yuya said wincing at this "He got her good."
"No kidding" Alexis said "Just when she was doing good."
Yuzu sighs "Once one Pendulum Summons that usually means that one that does so usually ends up winning...It's rare not to when you Pendulum Summon."
Blair watches then reminded Yuzu "It seem impossible for anyone to overcome that technique but let's not forget Erin did against Yuya."
"True there" Yuya said which Blair's comment caused Tatsuya to nod at it.
"Things are about to get worse Lillie" Gladion warned Lillie as she gets up looking at him "Sphinx Claws also gives the equipped Monster attacks points equal to the damage you just took."
Lillie sweats knowing she took thirty five hundred points of damage ATK 4000-7500 but she tries to act as if this didn't change anything "You still attacked Marshmellon! When it's attack while face-down it inflicts one thousand points of damage to you!Plus as you just saw it can't be destroyed by battle."
Gladion nodded as he felt his Life Points lower a bit Gladion's Life Points: 1300 "Correct, it can't be destroyed by battle, but you can't defend yourself from my Monster. Next round you are finished Lillie."
"It's my move!" Lillie said checking her hand, she wasn't about to surrender, Sphinx Chimera was dangerous and had piercing damage thanks to it's Equip Spell Card. She had to stay in the game, still if she hadn't destroyed her brother's Fusion Monster she would've been toast for sure so she was sure that was the right move. She checked her hand seeing a move she could do "I'll set one Monster face down in defense mode and set one card face down, turn end!"
Lillie set one of her Monsters face down and set one card face down and ended her turn.
"It's my move!" Gladion announced "I draw!"
He drew "I activate Field Spell Card: Closed Forest! It gives all Beast Type Monsters on my side of the field 100 more attack points for each Beast Monster in my Graveyard."
Lillie mentally counted down the Monsters in her head he had Gazelle the King of Mythical Beast, Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast, Sea Koula, Tree Otter, Koalo-Koula, Rescue Cat, Scrap Beast, and Two Photon Saber Tigers then one unknown Beast Type which Gladion discarded for Koalo-Koula's effect which was nine beast Monsters! She watches as her brother's monster's attack rose higher by nine! 7500-8400
"Next" Gladion said seeing his hand was full of Spell or Trap Cards "I'll have my Monster attack your face-down Monster and remember! Thanks to Sphinx Claws! It can deal Piercing Damage!"
Lillie nodded watching as Gladion points out at her "Now Sphinx Chimera finish her off! Sphinx Crusher!"
Lillie's Monster reveals itself to be in her words as "Magician of Faith!"
"That Monster's defense is way too low!" Gladion warned his sister but Lillie was ready this time "I activate my Trap Card: Defense Draw! It makes any Battle damage I take 0! And allows me to draw one card!"
Gladion actually smiled for once "Good at least you're still in the game sis."
"Not only am I in the game!" Lillie told her brother "But Magician of Faith's Special ability allows me to look in my Graveyard and retrieve one Spell Card and add it to my hand, and I choose Polymerization!"
She choose her Polymerization Card and added it to her hand.
Gladion then spoke "I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."
"It's my move!" Lillie said "I draw!"
She drew her card and Gladion spoke "I activate both Continuous Trap Cards: Howl of the Wild! And Bezerking!"
Gladion looked at his sister "With Howl of the Wild any Monster my Beasts Monster destroys from you will allow this card to give you three hundred points of damage! With Berzerking if I have another Beast Monster I can give it half of my current Beast Monster's attack."
Lillie focused hard checking her hand and saw her drawn card "I activate Spell Card: Fairy Tale Wish!"
Her Spell card activates and Lillie announces the effect "If my Life Points are lower than yours and if I have a Fairy Tale Monster in my hand I can activate this card, by revealing to you my Fairy Tale Monster and discarding her to the Graveyard, I get to draw six cards!"
Lillie revealed her current last card in her hand which was Fairy Tale Snow which she discarded to the Graveyard. With this she drew six more cards, she knew she had to beat her brother right here or now considering she didn't have Swords of Revealing Light in her hand or any Trap Card to stop Sphinx Chimera from attacking her. She checked her hand and saw a solution and saw she had indeed drawn her own Pendulum Monsters. She smiles "Alright Gladion, you aren't the only one that can Pendulum Summon, thanks for showing me how it's done! I'll set the Pendulum Scale using my own Dragonpulse Magician, and Dragonpit Magician!"
With this she set her scale and explained "Now Monsters level 2 threw 7 I can Special Summon Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters!
She choose her Monsters "Tethyal, Goddess of Light, Darklord Marie, Fire Ant Ascanor, and Supay!"
Tethyal, Goddess of Light, Darklord Marie, Fire Ant Ascanor, and Supay appeared on the field ATK: 2400, 1700, 700, 500
"All you've done is Pendulum Summon two Level five Monsters, and a couple of Tuners" Gladion told her.
Lillie nodded "True but not for long! You see I'm going to tune my level 3 Fire Ant Ascanor with my Level five Darklord Marie!"
"Level eight Synchro?" Gladion asked with Fire Ant Ascanor splitting into three rings and scanning Dark Lord Marie.
Lillie nodded chanting out "Dragon of Sun and Solar Power, Rise from the depths of space and shine your majestic light, Synchro Summon, Level 8: Sun Dragon Inti!"
Sun Dragon Innti appeared on the field ATK: 3000
"Due to Extra Draw" Gladion reminded Lillie "I get to draw one card for each Synchro Material Monster you used!"
Lillie nodded "You go and do that."
She lets him draw two cards and then explained more "Next, I'm going to tune my Level one Supay, with my Level five Tehtyal, Goddess of Light!"
Gladion watches as Supay split into one huge ring scanning Tehthyal Goddess of Light with Lillie chanting out "Dragon of the Moon, rise for the depths of Space and rise our oceans with pride...Synchro Summon Level 6! Moon Dragon Quilla!"
Moon Dragon Ocullia appears on the field ATK: 2500
"Impressive" Kaiba muttered "A double Synchro Summon." he grinned "And it seems Lillie has a bit of a good taste in dragons."
Gladion nodded towards Extra Draw "Now I get to draw two more cards."
"Probably won't help you now" Lillie told him "Because I have both Sun and Moon Dragon."
"But you're Life Points are still low" Gladion told her "Neither Dragon of yours has the strength needed to end this Duel in your favor."
"Not together" Lillie said giggling "But if I can fuse them together that's a different story!"
Gladion blinks "What?"
Lillie nodded showing him Polymerization "Looks like Magician of Faith pulled out after all! I activate my Spell Card: Polymerization!"
She smiled "Now I'll use it to Fuse Sun Dragon Inti!, and Moon Dragon Qullia!"
The two Monsters began to fuse with Lillie chanting out "Sun and Moon Dragons combine your might to fuse a new entity with the powers of the cosmos! Fusion Summon Level 12! Milkyway Galaxy Dragon"
Lillie's new Fusion Monster appeared having both Sun and Moon Dragon's heads all formed around the Monster in a spiral galaxy held together by what looked like a Dark Hole. The eight heads seemed to be similar to our own milky way galaxy dark and space like with stars seemingly all over them ATK: 4000
"It's still not strong enough!" Gladion said after drawing two cards for Lillie's Fusion Monster due to Extra Draw.
"Oh it's enough alright! You see on the turn Milkyway Galaxy Dragon is Fusion Summoned, it destroys all cards on the field other than itself-"
Gladion looked at his sister "Big deal! Sphinx Chimera can't be destroyed by Card Effects as long as it has Overlay Units!"
Lillie nodded "True! However you seemed to mishear me brother! It destroys all other cards on the field other than itself. For each card destroyed it gets five hundred more attack points and I gain that amount as Life Points!"
Gladion blinked now realizing this "Say what? All other cards?"
Lillie nodded "Yep! And that's just one of Milkyway Galaxy Dragon's effects but one that can only be applied immediately after Fusion Summoning. Now here let me show you it's effect, Go Milkyway Galaxy Dragon! Darkhole Vortex!"
The Dark Hole that seemed to be surrounding Milkyway Galaxy Dragon seemed to grow big as if it were expanding and it began sucking up all cards on the field other than Milkyway Galaxy Dragon. Both Lillie and Gladion's Pendulum Scale Monsters were ripped out followed by Closed Forest, Gladion's Sphinx Claws Equipped Spell Card, Howl of the Wild, and Bezerking Trap Cards. Thanks to Sphinx Chimera's ability it remained on the field. Thanks to Sphinx Claw's being destroyed Sphinx Chimera's attack returned to normal 7500-4000.
"A total of eight cards were destroyed" Lillie told her brother which means Milkywag Galaxy Dragon gains four thousand more attack points!"
Gladion watches as Milkyway Galaxy Dragon powered up 4000-8000
Lillie's Life Points also increased by the same amount. Lillie's Life Points: 4500
"Now!" Lillie shouted "It's your turn to feel the terror of a powerful attack! Battle! Milkyway Galaxy Dragon! Attack Sphinx Chimera with Galactic Gamma Ray Bursts!"
All of Milkyway Galaxy Dragon's eight heads all roared out and began glowing bright light as their stars began shining brightly. Then like all true massive stars shot out a powerful burst of gamma rays at Sphinx Chimera. Gladion watches smiling that Lillie had grown this strong as a Duelist as he thought Good work Lillie! You've finally found your deck and it certainly has balance. I may have been skeptical to accept this Duel from you knowing our past but, you've grown, and I'm proud of you for being able to finally beat me!
He watches as the blast hit and destroyed his Sphinx Chimera and the damage was way too much for him to survive and he is blown onto his back with his Life Points dropping to zero.
Gladion's Life Points: 0
Lillie's Life Points: 4500
"Way to go Lillie!" Yuya shouted "That was one heck of a comeback! You'd make one heck of a great entertainment Duelist! Cos-no Nebby would be proud of you!"
Erin agreed "Indeed!"
Yuzu stood up applauding "Way to go! That was a great Duel!"
Alexis agreed smiling thinking Oh man, Jaden missed out on this Duel. He'd love to see this and he'd also like to take on Lillie's Milkyway Galaxy Dragon. Lillie also mentioned it had another effect, wonder what that other effect was.
Kaiba wasn't one to applaud anyone for what he saw but, he knew a good deck when he saw one and Lillie and Gladion had shown that their decks were on par of it. Oddly enough he too wanted to try his luck at facing off against Milkyway Galaxy Dragon but at the moment he had his own rival to beat, Yugi Muto so she was safe for now. Oh he'd wait for his chance to Duel Lillie at a tournament if he orchestrated another one. He already liked Milkyway Galaxy Dragon's effect. He turns to Tatsuya "Take a break Tatsuya and be with Yuzu. I'm going to check on something."
"Okay Mr. Kaiba" Tatsuya said.
Tatsuya looked at Yuzu blushing as he asks her "Would you mind going out with me?"
Yuzu nodded holding his hand "Sure. Where to?"
Tatsuya blushes "Somewhere to eat tomorrow?"
She nods "Sure, and I've wanted to Duel you myself, better win against me tomorrow because-" she blushes as she whispers to his ears "I know you like girl's barefeet, win against me and you can worship my feet for all you'd like."
Tatsuya blushes bright red nodding "Alright."
The two leave with Erin and her friends congratulating both Duelist for a good duel.
"Way to go Lillie!" Phineas said.
"Thanks Phineas!" she told him.
"You weren't bad yourself Gladion" Joey told him "But you can't win them all."
Gladion nodded "True, and honestly I'm happy Lillie was able to beat me. I gave it all my in that Duel but I fell short. I pressured her as if I would to any Duelist and she overcame it. She's grown and that deck is very dangerous...Especially if Milkyway Galaxy Dragon is involved."
The group now head back to Pegasus mansion with Lillie beginning to remember what her mom wanted from Cosmog and where she'd be keeping it but it still wasn't clear where. Maybe as she seen more duels would she remember. As they are walking back Lillie checks out her Fusion Monster that beat her brother smiling thinking Nebby, this is for you. I won't stop until I've saved you.
end of Chapter
This chapter is over! Lillie vs Gladion. Honestly Gladion's deck is trash on Dueling Nexus. However with a few fan made cards as seen here it was formidable.
