Chapter 43: Dueling Lusamine P1

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptors or Yugioh. I do own Erin. Also Erin's Rival Tatsuya is another OC I own.

Things looked grim for Erin and her friends. One moment she had just beaten Guzma in a Duel, the next they were engaged on both sides in a firefight while trying to get into Lusamine's room. Luckily for Lillie, Joey's instincts saved her from being held captive by her own mother but Acerola had gotten captured by Demonica whom was taking her captive to get interrogated by her master, then eaten. Alexis, Erin, Gladion, Joey, Phineas and Ferb, as well with Yuya and Yuzu were all present in the room. At Phineas's suggestion he, his brother Ferb, Yuya and Yuzu tried to barricade the doors to Lusamine's room in order to delay MFWD soldiers. One thing was certain they weren't escaping that way easily but they didn't want to engage the soldiers in a fire fight if a Duel was going to take place. Lusamine looked around at whom was in her room "Well, I see I gave a lot of people in my room, one of which is the biggest target of MFWD efforts Erin and the other two...Are my own daughter and son."

"Mother!" Lillie shouted "You can't use Nebby!"

"Mother?!" Lusamine shouted at Lillie " You still think you and Gladion have the right to call me your mother when you two betrayed my love! You Gladion stole my Type: Null! And Lillie you stole Cosmog from me!"

Even though he wasn't one to punch women Joey made a fist as he pointed at Lusamine "You blame them for that?! I'm sure your son and daughter had good reasons for what you were doing! You were causing those two creatures pain and misery and they couldn't take it any longer! If you ask me they had every right to do what they did!"

"Oh? And what would a pathetic duelist like you know anything about our affairs?!" Lusamine demanded at Joey.

"Pathetic?" Joey demanded "I'm not a pathetic Duelist, if fact I'm pretty good!"

Yuya agreed with Joey "Yeah ma'am! A mother's job is to love her kids no matter what! If anything your son Gladion and Lillie had every right to try to escape from this place and abandon you. Not even my own father would do this!"

"Yet Yuya he let you down when he didn't show to duel that one day."

"HE WENT MISSING!" Yuya shouted "There's a difference in that situation."

"Enough of this!" Lusamine shouted back still holding the bag that held Cosmog, she soon stepped on a vortex panel and seemed to vanish "If you wish to try to stop me, follow me!"

"Where do you think that panels leads too?" Erin asked.

Joey and Yuya pumped up their fists the two were fired up to stop Lusamine after the stinging insults she made towards them "AFTER HER!"

Both Joey and Yuya charged forward to the panel stepping on it and like Lusamine simply seem to vanish. Two by two Erin with her friends charge forward too. When they regained their senses they were brought into an odd room where four Pokemon were frozen in ice. Lillie looked around horrified at this. So far she could only make out a Slowpoke and a Pikachu in two of the odd display walls.

"This is sick!" Joey said "Makes me sick to my stomach, what psycho path would do this to innocent creatures?!"

"Lusamine" Phineas answered.

"That woman is getting worse and worse the more we go try to confront her" Joey muttered.

At this comment everyone on Erin's side nodded even Gladion and Lillie did as they weren't liking what they seen ether.

"She'll only get worse if we don't stop her" Yuya told Joey.

Joey agreed "You bet it would."

Erin agreed with them in her mind.

Blair pointed towards Lusamine whom was in the middle for the four pillars "What are you up to you sick woman?!"

Lusamine chuckled as she turned around "How do you like this room? In here these lovely beauties will be staying here for all eternity, where they will be admired everyday."

"This is sickening!" Alexis answered Lusamine "I've seen weirder stuff at Duel Academy but this so far is worse than what I've seen at Duel Academy!"

Lusamine ignored this as she set about pressing buttons preparing to activate the Ultra Wormhole "We'll see, once I've used Cosmog's powers to open the Ultra Wormhole, I'll go inside them and unleash every Ultra Beast upon the world."

Lillie stood up "Mother, stop this madness! If you force Nebby or use Nebby to use it's powers too much it could die!"

At hearing Lillie's voice Cosmog spoke as if trying to tell the heroes to rescue it.

Lusamine frowns "WHY SHOULD I CARE FOR WHAT YOU SAY LILLIE! I won't listen to those that betray my love for them!"

She picks up Nebby trying to unleash it's powers but at first Cosmog refused to obey her "What? You're trying to resist me Cosmog?! Is it because you actually like Lillie?"

She then frowned even growling at the point of using force to unleash Cosmog's power "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT! YOU'LL USE THOSE POWERS"

With that said Cosmog was forced to use it's powers with Gladion using a hand to cover his face and shaking his head while Lillie looked horrified. Joey turned to Yuya "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Take the bag from her?" Yuya asked.

"Yeah!"

The two boys were about to charge forward when the Ultra Wormhole opened and warning sirens began sounding as all of the Alohan Islands were getting the Wormholes as well. On one of them an old man began his walk but felt a disturbance "What's this feeling?"

Suddenly a female humanoid bug type Pokemon emerged "This is quite a challenger!"

The old man looked at the Pokemon knowing it was a threat to his island after all he was Kahuna Hala of Melhelme Island "You've come before the Kahuna of Melhelme Island!"

Before anything could react a flash of lightning emerged from a secret location and Tapu Kapu landed in front of the Kahuna growling causing the old man to ask "Have you come to just battle it or as a Guardian Deity?"

The Tapu looked at the Ultra Beast and then spoke "Right doesn't matter at the moment, I Kahuna Hala shall assist you!"

He looked around at the swirling skies "The other islands must be facing the same thing, I wish for the best of luck from the other Island Kahunas."

Inside Aether Paradise Lusamine smirked as she was seeing these event unfold "Perfect...Everything's going into plan."

It is at this moment Guzma emerged "Madam President! The plan is working!"

"How'd he get past the barricade?!" Joey demanded.

Alexis, Blair, Phineas, Ferb, Yuya, and Yuzu take out their blasters expecting a run in with MFWD soldiers and MFWD second-in-command which haven't appeared yet. Lusamine smiled as Erin and Lillie gave each other a look and stood up to stop Lusamine. Lusamine turns to the two girls "You two dare to try to stop me?"

Erin was now aiming her blaster at Lusamine "I want to stop you now! You don't know the terror you've just unleashed upon the world and I refuse to stand by while this happens."

"Spoken like a true Shoran or Kinomoto" Lusamine sighed "Your parents raised you to know what good and evil is all about"

Lillie even was pointing a gun at her own mother "Don't force my hand mother, but if I must do this to save Nebby, I will!"

It is at this moment a big blue jellyfish emerged from the Ultra Wormhole that was in Aether Paradise.

"That's one big jellyfish" Joey muttered.

Gladion took charge stepping forward "I'll handle the Ultra Beast, after all Type: Null was born to be an Ultra Beast hunter! Yuya, you gotta Duel Guzma!"

Yuya turned towards Guzma then remembered it was Guzma that took Yuzu to Demonica and the boy agreed at once "Consider that done! I've been meaning to give him payback to what he had done to Yuzu!"

"Careful Yuya" Yuzu warned "Guzma's no pushover."

"And neither am I!" Yuya told her.

Guzma looked delighted to be dueling Yuya finally a kid that he could crush again, Guzma advances on Yuya ready to Duel him.

Gladion turned to Erin "Erin, help Lillie stop our mother!"

Erin nodded determined "Consider that done Gladion."

Gladion turned to Alexis, Blair, Phineas, Ferb, and Yuzu, you five got the bigger part, in making sure MFWD soldiers don't come in here."

The five saluted "Right!"

Gladion stepped forward to confront the big blue Jellyfish grabbing a Pokeball "Type: Null come out!"

Gladion's Pokemon appeared ready for battle.

Guzma and Yuya activated their Duel Disks and drew their top five cards shouting "Duel!"

Guzma's Life Points: 4000

Yuya's Life Points: 4000

Then the two began to have their Duel.

Erin and Lillie still had their blasters pointed at Lusamine intending to shoot her if she tried anything funny. Lusamine smirked "If you two want to try to stop me then I will accept a Duel. You two will be on a team but, I get a turn every time one of you end your turn. I also get a full eight thousand Life Points while you two get two separate Life Point counts of four thousand."

"Fine by us!" Erin shouted.

Lusamine smirked "Indeed, fine by you two...When I'm finished with you two, I'll simply give Lillie's weakened body to Demonica and take you Erin as prisoner to give to MFWD's leader as his top prize as well as the three Sakura Cards you have on you."

She began laughing insanely and evilly activating a Duel Disk that matched Aether Paradise's color. Erin and Lillie understood what would happen to them if they both lost but accepted it activating their Duel Disks as well. All three shouted drawing their top five cards "Duel!"

Erin's Life Points: 4000

Lillie's Life Points: 4000

Lusamine's Life Points: 8000

"I'll start us off" Lillie told Erin.

Erin nodded allowing Lillie to.

Lillie checked her hand and saw that she didn't have her Windwitch combo her favorite way to start a duel. So she had to do something else and knew that the more Life Points she had the more she could survive what her mother dished out to her. "I'll start by setting one monster face-down in defense mode!" Lillie told her mother "Then I set one card face-down and end my turn."

"I'm up then" Lusamine told Lillie "I draw!"

"I activate my Continuous Trap Card" Lillie announced "Solemn Wishes!"

Lillie's face-down card activate "Now any time I draw a card I gain five hundred life points!"

Lusamine drew her card then selected a monster "Not bad Lillie but now I summon, Blast Magician to the field!"

Blast Magician appeared on the field ATK: 1400

"Next" Lusamine said "I'll activate my Field Spell Card: Sorcerous Spell Wall!"

Lusamine's field changed to emit a yellow Spellbinding Circle with five sorcerers in the middle of it. Lusamine then spoke "Now all Monsters on my side of the field gain 300 attack points during my turn, during your turns they gain 300 defense points, and this also activates Blast Magician's Special ability, any time a Spell Card is played I can place a Spell Counter on him. The Spell Counters then will count down 700 points of attack from all of your Monsters, by removing any number of them I can then destroy Monsters on your side of the field equal to that amount of attack reduced."

Lillie watches as her mother's monster attack points increased by 300. 1400-1700

It also gained one Spell Counter on it.

"Next I activate the Spell Card: Magic Draw!"

One of her Spell Cards appeared and it was revealed to be Dark Magician Girl seemingly drawing some more magical power for an attack and the blond woman spoke "This Card allows me to draw two cards after I play any type of Spell Card"

With this Spell Card played Lusamine drew two cards in place for Magic Draw so that she had five cards in her hand. A factor Erin and Lillie took careful notice at, almost immediately the two girls knew Lusamine had something big planned for them if she needed to keep a certain amount of cards in her hand. They hoped Lusamine wasn't planning to summon Exodia or else this sort of thing could be alarming both girls nervously bit their lips hoping Lusamine didn't have Exodia as that to them was the worse possible outcome of this Duel

"Now" Lusamine announced "It's time for Battle, Go Blast Magician, destroy my traitorous daughter's face-down monster!"

Lillie watches as Blast Magician blasted out at her monster. As the blast got close to Lillie's Monster, it was revealed to be "Nimble Monogas!"

Lillie smiled as her monster was destroyed "When Nimble Monogas is destroyed, I gain 1000 extra Life Points and I get to Special Summon up to two more of them in defense mode!"

Lillie's Life Points increased Lillie's Life Points: 5000

Then she set her only one more of them on her field face-down.

Lusamine checked her hand then set a card giving her hand a total of four cards "I'll set one card face down and end my turn."

"It's my move!" Erin announced "I draw!"

She drew her card "Since Lillie is on my team but we have separate Life Points, I'll gain 500 Life Points!"

Erin's Life Points increased. Erin's Life Points: 4500

She looked at her hand "I summon Blazing Impachi to the field in attack mode!"

Her Blazing Impachi appeared ATK: 1850

"Battle!" Erin announced "Blazing Impachi attack Lusamine's Blast Magican! Blazing Fire Trail"

Blazing Impachi aimed it's fist and brought it down, it burned out a fire trail at Blast Magician. Lusamine smirked "I activate my Trap Card: Draining Shield!"

Erin frowned knowing what it done Lusamine nodded "This card negates your monster's attack and it increases my Life Points by the same amount of your Monster's attack points."

Erin's Monster's attack was repealed by a huge shield over Lusamine's Blast Magician, the shield absorbed the damage and increased Lusamine's Life Points. Lusamine's Life Points: 9850

"Turn end" Erin muttered.

"It's my move" Lusamine said "I'll draw!"

She drew her card then grinned "Oh, dear Erin, I believe you are going to be entering a world of pain and defeat real quickly. Erin hoped it wasn't an Earthbound Immortal so quickly, she wasn't prepared to take one on this early. Sadly though she was going to figure out that Lusamine had something worse in mind. Lusamine chuckled "I summon the Genix Controller Tuner Monster!"

Genix Controller appeared on the field ATK: 1400

"Next" Lusamine said "I'll be tuning my Genix Controller Tuner Monster, with my Level four Blast Magician!"

Genix Controller split into three rings as it scanned Blast Magician with Lusamine chanting out "Machine ally of justice rise forth to annihilate our opposition. Synchro Summon, Level 7, Genix Ally Triforce!"

A bright flash of light appeared and in it's place stood a white machine type monster which looked like a robotic cop holding a triple barreled elemental blaster ATK: 2500

Lusamine smirked "Genix Ally Triforce has three abilities, but each of it's abilities is determined on the attribute of the Non-Tuner Monsters used to Synchro Summon it."

She then points at Erin "Now, Genix Ally Triforce attack Blazing Impachi with Triblast Attack! Plus don't forget my Field Spell helps him out in the attack compartment."

Erin watches as thanks to Lusamine's Field Spell card Genix Ally Triforce gained three hundred attack points 2500-2800. Genix Ally Triforce aimed it's blaster at Erin's Monster then fired a blue, yellow and red blast at it.

The blast strikes Erin's Blazing Impachi destroying it on sight.

Erin then shots in pain as her Life Points drop. Erin's Life Points: 3550

Lusamine chuckled seeing Erin nearly on her knees.

Lillie spoke to Erin seeing Erin hurt "Erin!"

"I'm fine...I think" Erin muttered.

Lusamine then spoke "Already nearly on your knees Erin? Well it's about to get worse, you see when Genix Ally Triforce's Non-Tuner Monster is Fire Attribute Monster, it's ability is this, when it destroys a Monster by Battle, it'll inflict damage to you equal to your destroyed Monster's attack points!"

"Nuts!" Erin shouted as Genix Ally Triforce seemed to tower over her. It aimed it's gun at her head then fired a continuous blast of fire at her in form of a flamethrower. The young girl screams in pain as her Life Points are reduced badly and her body was being roasted.

Erin's Life Points: 1700

The amount of Life Points lost caused Erin to lay on the ground not moving a bit and looking fried.

"Erin" Blair muttered seeing this.

"Keep your attention to the back of us" Phineas told Blair "Erin should be fine."

Erin's arms twitched as she was indeed alive and but she was in total pain. The girl fought her way to get onto all fours and spoke trying to get onto her two feet "Just what we needed...A Synchro Monster version of Elemental Hero Flame Wingman..."

Phineas echoed Erin's thoughts out loud as Ferb noticed something about Lusamine's Synchro Monster "You're right Ferb, Erin might be in hot water now but it also has two other effects depending on that monster's Non-Tuner Monster or Non-Tuner Monster's attributes...Now the fire one puts on the pressure but it's Earth Non-Tuner Monster and Light Non-Tuner Monster effects aren't pushovers ether."

"Man" Joey muttered "Talk about a rough start for poor Erin. I bet she remembers her Duel with Jaden as that was how he beat her."

Yuya indeed was having a bit of trouble with Guzma at the moment but that was only because he hadn't gotten his Pendulum Zone set yet, however he was hanging in not going to be defeated by this bully and he cracked up a joke "Guzma isn't so tough."

"I'm not so tough?!" Guzma demanded having Underground Arachnid out, and Crossword Beetle "Then let's see how you get past these my monsters!"

"Gladly! Now it's my draw!" Yuya shouted drawing his card then he grinned drawing the two Pendulum Monsters "Alright Guzma, it's time you felt this, I'll set the Pendulum Scale using Stargazer Magician and Time Gazer Magician."

From then on Yuya was able to bring out Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon and his Duel with Guzma would continue then he looked at Erin briefly thinking Their Duel is still young, but I'm about to teach Guzma a lesson he won't forget. From then odd Yuya and Guzma would continue their Duel.

Seeing Erin was still on her knees and still trying to get onto her two feet Lusamine smiles feeling confident she was going to crush these two and she didn't need her Earthbound Immortal Monster which she had in her deck. In Lusamine's crazed mine all she needed was her Genix Ally Triforce with it's Fire Attribute Monster effect.

Lusamine then spoke "I hope you and Lillie can deal with my Synchro Monster. If not it's going to be a quick duel. I end my turn."

At this point Genix Ally Triforce lost it's boost since it wasn't Lusamine's turn instead since it was going to be Lillie's turn it's defense points got the boost but due to it being in attack mode the stats didn't show. 2800-2500

"Take a breather Erin" Lillie advised Erin "You just took some massive damage"

"Thanks Lillie" Erin told her still feeling fried even while standing on her two feet she was even panting a bit in between words "Just don't summon a Monster that your mother can destroy, or if you do, make sure it doesn't have the attack points needed to deal tremendous damage to you."

"I'll try to" Lillie told her friend. Lillie now looked at Lusamine "It's my move mother, I draw!"

Lillie drew her card checking her hand having no solution of destroying her mother's monster just yet. She did have an option to do as she entered her Stand by Phase "First thing is first! I'll collect my five hundred Life Points from Solemn Wishes!
Lillie's Life Points: 5500

She then went with her option hoping her mother would take the bait "I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!"

Lillie set a monster and ended her turn.

"I see that's all you can do" Lusamine sneered at her daughter "It's my move, I draw!"

Lusamine drew "First I summon my Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode!"

Skilled Dark Magician appeared ATK: 1900

"Next" Lusamine spoke "I activate Continuous Spell Card: Shard of Greed! I'm sure you two know what it does but everyone of my stand by phase this card is out I gain one Shard Counter on this card, when I get two I can send this card to my graveyard and draw two more cards from my deck."

She then smiled "And of course Skilled Dark Magician will gain one Spell Counter on him. When he gets to three Spell Counters on him, oh I bet you two know who will make an appearance."

"Dark Magician!" Erin and Lillie shouted the answer.

"Now" Lusamine spoke "Battle!"

Her Monsters powered up their attacks again 1900-2200, 2500-2800.

Lusamine pointed to Lillie's face down monster "Skilled Dark Magician Attack her face down Nimble Monogas!"

Lillie watches as Skilled Dark Magician's attacked her monster and destroyed it. She then spoke "There goes my last Nimble Monogas...And with it I gain one thousand more Life Points!

Lillie's Life Points: 6500

Lusamine nodded "Like that matters Lillie, I still have one other Monster left, Genix Ally Triforce attack her other Face-down Monster! Tri-Blast Attack"

Lillie smiled "You took my bait mother and one I hoped you to do!"

The blast gets towards Lillie's Monster but she reveals it to be a small red bacteria like monster "Kiestal!"

"Nuts!" Lusamine shouted

Lillie nodded "Now when Kiestal is face-down it activates it's effect, he equips himself onto your monster so that every standby Phase Erin or I get, our Life Points will get a raise equal to half of your equipped Monster's attack points."

Erin felt glad Lillie was helping her out, with seventeen hundred Life Points left she didn't have much room for error on her part. Now thanks to Lillie's Kiestal, she had hope.

"Turn end" Lusamine said annoyed that her daughter was so far keeping up with her and her monsters lost their boost in attack but got a boost in their defense points.

"It's my move!" Erin announced "I draw!"

She drew her card knowing she had to take a risk then it hit her Stand By Phase, and Erin smiled "Thanks to Lillie's Monster Kiestal I'll now gain half of your Monster's attack points as life Points!"

Erin's Life Points recovered a bit. Erin's Life Points: 2950

Not only did her Life Points increase but she felt a bit better. She now studies the scene checking her hand, she didn't want Dark Magician to appear just yet, just one monster with twenty-eight hundred attack points on Lusamine's turn was enough. She was certain she didn't want another even if it would be Dark Magician. She found it odd Lusamine would have a Dark Magician in her deck wondering what would she need it for, she also didn't want to find out ether. She saw a plan "Here it goes then" Erin said "I'll summon Elemental Hero Blazeman!"

Elemental Hero Blazeman appeared on the field ATK: 1200

"When Elemental Hero Blazeman is summoned, I can look through my deck and add a Polymerization card into my hand!" Erin told her opponent.

With that she added in Polymerization then she went for the plan "I'll then Activate Spell Card: Polymerization!"

She nodded "With Polymerization, I'll fuse my Elemental Hero Blazeman on the field with Elemental Hero Bursttrix in my hand!"

Elemental Hero Blazeman and Elemental Hero Burstintrix appeared and began swarming together with Erin chanting out "Hero Of Fire and Raging Flames join forces to burn away the opponent...FUSION SUMMON, Level 8: Elemental Hero Nova Master!

Elemental Hero Nova Master appeared on the field ATK: 2600

"Sweet!" Lillie shouted over to Erin "Good move! Now you can defeat mother's Genix Ally Triforce!"

Erin studied the scene "True! I can!"

Lusamine spoke "Now Skilled Dark Magician gains one more Spell Counter on him!"

Erin nodded "Too bad I won't allow you to Special Summon Dark Magician that easily."

Lillie was shocked Erin wasn't planning to go after Genix Ally Triforce "Uh, are you feeling okay Erin? Dark Magician wouldn't touch your monster."

Erin looked at Lillie "You're mother has proven that she doesn't use cards that she thinks won't help her. Genix Ally Triforce is one of them and she certainly knows how to use it. Dark Magician is a Normal Monster with no effect"

She eyes Shard of Greed of Lusamine's side of the field "She might be planning something with Dark Magician, my gut is saying what she plans to do with Dark Magician you and I won't like. It's best we delay her...Trust me please."

"I do" Lillie told her.

"Then here we go" Erin told Lillie "Battle! Elemental Hero Nova Master attack Skilled Dark Magician with Nova Flare!"

Elemental Hero Nova Master gathered an enormous Fireball and flung it at Skilled Dark Magician. The blast connected destroying him on sight. Lusamine suffered Life Point damage.

Lusamine's Life Points: 9100

"When Elemental Hero Nova Master destroys a Monster by Battle" Erin told Lusamine "I get to draw one card!"

With that said Erin drew her card thinking Thank you Jaden, your monster has proven to be a great assist to my deck!

She checked her drawn card which was Shrink and thought Even better!

Erin's Life Points also increased due to drawing the card thanks to Solemn Wishes. Erin's Life Points: 3450

She looked at Lusamine "I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!"

"It's my move" Lusamine announced "I draw!"

She drew her card checking her hand out seeing she had just drawn Dark Magician "I'll summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard in defense mode!"

Obnoxious Celtic Guard appeared in defense mode DEF: 1200

"Now" Lusamine said watching her Genix Ally Triforce gain it's three hundred attack points "I'm afraid Lillie is right Erin, your hero was stronger than Genix Ally Triforce but he isn't now thanks to my Field Spell, Battle, Genix Ally Triforce attack Elemental Hero Nova Master with Triforce Blast!"

Erin was ready for it even watching as Genix Ally Triforce aimed it's gun and fired at her monster. Erin spoke "I activate my Quick-Play Spell Card, Shrink!"

Lillie smiled giggling "You got her there!"

Erin nodded "That's right I do!" she looked at Lusamine whom looked shocked that Erin had that card "No way!"

"Oh yes way!" Erin told Lusamine "Thanks to this Quick-Play Spell Card, your Monster's original attack points are halved!"

Lusamine watches as her Genix Ally Triforce's attack points were halved but still had her Field Spell's boost but it wasn't enough! 2800-1550

Elemental Hero Nova Master simply raised a fist catching Genix Ally Triforce's blast in one hand as if were catching a really fast baseball. Erin now smiled "Now, Elemental Hero Nova Master, it's time to counter attack Nova Flare!"

Elemental Hero Nova Master nodded gathering up flames again and throwing them at Genix Ally Triforce destroying it.

Lusamine shouted in anger "NO! NOT MY FAVORITE MONSTER!"

Erin looked at Lusamine "Now you know how Lillie feels when you are using Cosmog for your own evil purposes!"

Lusamine's Life Points: 8050

Lusamine glared at Erin "I'll make you pay for that! You'll see!"

Erin then spoke "Just like before, when Nova Master destroys a Monster by Battle, I get to draw one card.

Erin drew her card and gain five hundred more Life Points. Erin's Life Points: 3950

Not only did Nova Master destroy Genix Ally Triforce but due to it being destroyed Kiestal was as well.

"Turn end" Lusamine said angrily.

Lillie smiled at Erin "Wow Erin...You knew what you were doing right then...Sorry I doubted you."

Erin turned to her smiling "To be honest it was luck of the draw drawing Shrink when I first destroyed Skilled Dark Magician, but I am glad I was able to destroy both of your mother's monster with my Fusion Monster."

"It's my move then" Lillie told her mother "I draw!"

After gaining her five hundred Life Points Lillie's Life Points: 7000 She checked her hand "Erin, is it okay if I borrow your a Monster from your Graveyard?"

Erin nodded "Sure."

Lillie smiled "Thanks, I activate my Spell Card: Monster Reborn!"

Lusamine watches her daughter as Lillie spoke "With Monster Reborn, I'll Special Summon Blazing Impachi!"

Blazing Impachi returned to the field ATK: 1850

Lillie nodded to her mother whom was now understanding why Lillie was doing this "Battle! Blazing Impachi attack Obnoxious Celtic Guard! Burning Fire Trail!"

Blazing Impachi raised it's fist and brought it down. The powerful fire attack came at Lusamine's Monster and Lillie spoke "I know all about Obnoxious Celtic Guard's effect mother! He can't be destroyed by Monsters that have nineteen hundred attack points or above! However he can be with Blazing Impachi"

Due to Lusamine's Monster being in defense mode Lusamine took no damage. Lillie then presses onward with Erin nodding "Go for it Lillie!"

Lillie smiled "Alright mother! Time for you to taste defeat! I still have one more monster left, and it's Elemental Hero Nova Master, Elemental Hero Nova, Master attack Mother directly! Nova Flare!"

Nova Master attacked Lusamine directly and the mother kneels in pain a bit "How could you two be doing this to me!"

Lusamine's Life Points: 5400

Lillie eyed her mother "You did this to yourself the moment you tried to use Cosmog for your evil needs mother! Erin and I won't let you continue this madness!"

Lusamine gets up "It's my move, I draw!"

She drew her card checking it out seeing she had drawn Buster Blader. She then points to Shard of Greed "Shard of Greed now has two Counters on it, I'll be sending it to the Graveyard so now I can gain two more cards!"

Lusamine drew two more cards. Then checked her hand having six cards in it and she was about to turn the tide again "Oh you two are in trouble now"

Erin had a bad feeling about this as she looks at Lillie "I don't like how you mother said those words."

"Me ether" Lillie admitted.

Lusamine nodded "First of all, I'll activate my own Spell Card: Polymerization!"

Erin and Lillie gulp nervously as Lusamine called out the Fusion Material Monsters she was using for it "First of all I'll fuse Dark Magician in my hand with Buster Blader also in my hand."

Erin began to sweat nervously knowing what was coming. After all Mr. Pegasus showed her Yugi's Battle City Semi Final Duel with Seto Kaiba which ended up being the winning move.

Lusamine began to chant "Magician of Darkness fuse with the mighty Dragon Slayer to provide even more cover...Fusion Summon, Level 8: Dark Paladin!"

Dark Paladin appeared on the field ATK: 2900

"I knew you were up to something with the Dark Magician!" Erin shouted seeing this Fusion Monster in real life, it was one thing to see it during a recorded Duel but it was a whole different story when facing one in real life "But I wasn't expecting Dark Paladin at all."

"It's stronger than any of our monsters" Lillie muttered worried.

"It's not over yet" Lusamine warned her daughter and Erin. She then grinned evilly "I also activate the Spell Card, Dark Fusion!"

"Dark Fusion?!" Lillie and Erin asked.

Lusamine nodded "Now with Dark Fusion, I'll fuse Elemental Hero Clayman with Elemental Hero Sparkman!"

"Thunder Giant?" Erin asked.

Gladion was still in the middle of battling the jellyfish and turned "Dark Fusion is only good for Fiend type Fusion Monsters! It's not going to be Thunder Giant...It's going to be something much worse!"

"Correct it is!" Lusamine said then she began to chant out "Former heroes of Spark and Clay become tainted in darkness and emerge as a brand new enity...Fusion Summon Level 6, Evil Hero Lightning Golem!"

Erin and Lillie watch as the two former Elemental Heros soon became corrupted with darkness and certainly emerged as a golem like monster ATK: 2400.

Lusamine smirked evilly at her opponents "With these two Fusion Monsters you two are going to be finished!"

"How do you plan that?!" Erin asked "Lillie and I have two Monsters on the field and even though we'll suffer Life Point damage we'll still survive this round!"

Lusamine smiled "You're about to be short a monster."

"Hugh?" Lillie and Erin asked.

Lusamine then smirked "I activate the effect of Evil Hero Lightning Golem, once per turn, I can destroy one of your Monsters regardless of attack points...Providing Lightning Golem is better than Elemental Hero Thunder Giant a better Fusion of those two even more because I don't have to discard a card ether! Go Evil Hero Lightning Golem use Dark Lightning on Elemental Hero Nova Master!"

Erin watches as Evil Hero Lightning Golem formed a powerful dark lightning in it's fist and hurled it at her Elemental Hero Fusion Monster. It is then she saw Lusamine's Field Spell providing more attack point power to Lusamine's Monsters. 2400-2700, 2900-3200

Demonica was carrying Acerola whom was doing her best to get away but wasn't able to. The succubbus was carrying her meal to her boss unaware Sakura and Li were on her tail. The two were able to bypass even the second-in-command. Li stood with his wife at his side looking at the soldiers and Demonica.

"Sakura..." Li muttered "That's around one hundred soldiers...If we don't reach Acerola you too could be taken captive."

Sakura frowned "I know but for Erin's sake we'll save her friend...We have to..."

"You have a plan?" Li asked her.

Sakura nodded pointing ahead and Li followed her directional point and saw the true form of Kerroberrous a fair distance away with Yue the other guardian of the Sakura Cards. Yue in his true form looked like an angel. The two Guardians of the Sakura Cards were in perfect position to strike Demonica.

"We only need to cause a distraction" Sakura told her husband "Kero and Yue are on a frontal intercept course. All we need to do is close in on the back a bit more."

Li nodded perhaps they could pull this off. The two parents silently followed Demonica's group.

Too be continued

Sorry for this chapter being a week late! Last week I was attending Bronycon and my work schedule was a mess due to those three days I asked for off. Anyway I hope you like the Duel between Erin, and Lillie on one team dueling against Lusamine. It looked like Erin at first had the lead but it soon changed. Next chapter is Chapter 44: Lusamine P2: Erin and Lillie are struggling hard against Lusamine's two Fusion Monsters Evil Hero Lightning Golem and Dark Paladin, but when Lusamine also brings out her XYZ Monster things get harder for Erin and Lillie.

A/N This is technically Part four of Aether Paradise but I've decided to call it a different name as Erin and Lillie are dueling Lusamine...Plus how do you think of Lusamine's deck so far...And just to let you know Lusamine has only used one made up card, which is this;

Magic Draw

Type: Spell Card

Effect: Activate only when you have activated 1 other kind of any Spell Card during your Main Phase 1, draw two Cards from your deck.
