Hey there everyone. Well, I had a pretty good weekend. I spent it in the arms of my mate (wife), and enjoyed all of it. We didn't do too much, mostly went to Wal-Mart and the mall. Each of us got a new Dinosaur Deck that's out, which included a promo of the Five-God Dragon. I like this new deck, but didn't get to test it against Marie, sadly. She wasn't up for a duel, so oh well, I'll test it another time. Last night, I came back and started unpacking stuff at our apartment. I got all the food I bought last night put away, plus a few other things. Hopefully tonight, I'll get the last of my stuff from my parents house, and I'll be done hauling stuff in from there.
Ok, onto what was happening last time in the story. Blue and Rebecca were teaming up against the deadly twin duo of Shina and Shino. The twins apparently look the same, yet are completely opposite. Can Blue and Rebecca win this struggle, or will Vash come back to find the one he cares about gone?
Btw, I'm not too surprised nobody got the answer to my question. Hmm, possibly another hint would help everyone. They star together in the same anime. One is cold natured as you can tell, while one has a happier disposition, yet will fight when asked to. I hope that helps everyone in figuring out the mysterious duo. If you watch any anime, note the hair lengths and color, as well as eye color. That kind of helps more than anything seeing how neither wears the same type of clothes.
At any rate, let's get down to the reviews.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Thanks about their decks matching their personalities well. I tried to match them, so that people could see the difference in the two. Hmm, I'd have to have at least a million for a contract in protecting you Bakura. That's up front btw, but that is for a year of protection. Just think, a half demon bodyguard could come in handy.
pink-kiss-candy: Thanks. Good question about Ryon.
Ryon Nakura: Lol, poor Ryon. Just remember, the profiles are never wrong. (//Looks through door with Ryon to see a maintenance man using a hammer.\\) See Ryon, just a normal person doing his job. You should take it easy, and try to get sane again.
Isis the Sphinx: Maybe, or maybe it'll be a small shocker like Marie's loss.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Ah, it's alright that I didn't get Friday off. At least in a little over a week I get a four day weekend. But it's cool if you didn't know. Maybe someone else will figure it out today. Btw, thanks.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Possibly that is the strategy, or possibly it could be something else, hehe. Yeah, I thought it was a cute little thing to add in about Rebecca and Shina fighting. Thanks for the comments though.
Well, that's all for today. Thanks for the comments everyone. Now, if anyone can guess who Shino and Shina are today, I'll post another chapter. Hopefully my clues up above will help. Just remember, both have black hair, brown eyes, and look similar, but are completely different. Also note their hair is free and not bound (Shina tends to have it bound in the anime I got her from). I hope that helps everyone in guessing their true identities.
Ok, for now though, I'm out, so enjoy the chapter everyone. Remember, I love reviews, so any and all are more than welcome to post one. Later everyone.
Chapter 38
Rebecca drew her card and smiled at it, saying "You'll pay for last turn. First, I summon Sangan (1000/600) in attack mode." An orange fur ball creature with three eyes, green arms with sharp claws, and green feet then appeared on the field.
"Next, I'll play these two spell cards, the first being my Weapon Change. This card can't be used till my next turn, but more on it later. Now I'll play Spell Economics, which allows me to no longer pay life points for spell cards. Finally, I'll place one card face down, and then move to my End Phase. Now I'll use your Ectoplasmer and sacrifice Sangan to it, so now give Shina a taste of her own medicine Sangan!" The small orange creature squawked loudly as it's soul came out of it's body. It's body then disintegrated, but it's spirit then launched an attack on Shina, ramming her hard and making her slide backwards a little bit.
Rebecca smirked at Shina's growling and said "Since I just sent Sangan to the Graveyard, I can now add one monster from my deck with 1500 or less attack points to my hand, so I choose Big Shield Guardna. That'll end my move." (Shina, Rebecca 7500; Rebecca, Blue 5900)
Shino lightly giggled at Shina's growling, saying "Looks like they can fight, don't it?"
Growling louder, Shina replied "Shut up and duel!"
Sighing, Shino drew and flatly said "You can be a killjoy sometimes, you know that? Anyways, in my Standby Phase, I activate White Magician Pikeru's effect. For every monster on mine and Shina's field, we gain 400 life points, and since we have two at the moment, we gain 800, so do your thing Pikeru!" The small white dressed creature let out a happy cry and swung it's staff about, sending a small bit of energy at Shino's Duel Disk, which caused her life point counter to increase.
"Next I'll summon Thunder Nyan Nyan (1900 + 500 2400/800) in attack mode." A red headed female monster with a leopard print leotard, orange gloves, and a drum with drumsticks then appeared on the field.
Seeing this, Rebecca smiled inwardly. "The trap I set last turn will save me and Blue, so I don't have to worry too much. I just hope they take my bait."
Interrupting Rebecca's thoughts, Shino said "Pikeru, attack Blue's Luster Dragon #2 with White Pikeru Magic!" The small white dressed monster with blonde hair let out another happy cry and prepared to send out a blast of energy from it's staff.
Before the shot could be fired though, Rebecca called out "Not so fast there Shino, I have a trap! I activate Zero Gravity, which now changes the battle positions of all monsters on the field, meaning every monster on the field now goes to defense mode!"
Shina smirked and let out an evil chuckle, saying "Not bad kid, but you're just being annoying. I activate the trap card Trap Jammer, which now negates your trap card, thus allowing my sweet sister to continue her attack."
Rebecca only growled as the trap card she just played was destroyed and the small white dressed creature released her blast at the emerald dragon. The dragon was hit head on, making it roar loudly as it was destroyed by the blast.
"I'm sorry about that Blue." Rebecca called out.
Smiling at her sister, Blue replied "It's alright Rebecca, we'll make it yet."
Shino quickly chimed in "We'll see, won't we. Now Thunder Nyan Nyan, attack Blue's Luster Dragon with Drum Basher!" With a quick twirl of her drumsticks, the red headed monster was quickly in front of the sapphire dragon and then bashed it hard with her twin drumsticks, making the dragon howl in pain as it exploded.
"Next I activate Trial of the Princesses effect. I sacrifice both White Magician Pikeru and Trial of the Princesses in order to special summon Princess Pikeru (2000 + 500 2500/0) in attack mode." The white dressed monster vanished in a flash and was soon replaced by a similar looking monster with strawberry colored hair, a white dress, and a powerful looking golden staff.
"Finally, in my End Phase, I use Ectoplasmer to sacrifice Thunder Nyan Nyan to hit Blue directly!" The red headed monster's body vanished, only leaving her spirit behind. The spirit quickly charged Blue, striking her hard with it's drumsticks and making Blue slide backwards and clutch her chest in pain.
"That'll end my move girls. Better do something soon if you wish to live." (Shina, Shino 8300; Rebecca, Blue 3650)
Blue growled in frustration as she realized that she and Rebecca couldn't keep up the pace they were at. "If we keep losing points like this, we'll never survive. I have to take out Ectoplasmer and Curran this turn. I just need the right cards to do it now."
With a deep breath, Blue drew and looked at her card and let a small smile cross her lips. "I play the spell card Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards." A large green pot with a wide smile and blue trim then appeared and shattered as Blue drew her two new cards.
Seeing her cards, she smiled and said "I play one of the cards I just drew, which is the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon! Now I can destroy one spell or trap card on the field, and I choose Shina's Ectoplasmer!" A powerful typhoon spun across the field and struck the spell card image, instantly shattering it.
Shina only shrugged, saying "I don't really care. That card is useless to me at the moment."
Smirking, Blue said "That's good to hear, cause I'm not through. I now play another spell card, this one called Polymerization! This allows me to fuse two monsters from my hand, so I choose to fuse The Forgiving Maiden and Marie the Fallen One into St. Joan (2800/2000) in attack mode!" An older woman in black and a black skinned angel with black wings then appeared on the field. The two swirled together, and a woman with orange hair, white gleaming armor, and a sword appeared on the field and let out a small battle cry.
"Now it's time I cut down one of your princesses, and I think Shina's shall go first! St. Joan, attack Princess Curran with Saint Slash!" The woman in gleaming white armor let out a battle cry and charged forward as wings made of energy formed on her back, carrying her into the air.
Shina let out a gasp as she watched in horror as the monster approached. Before the monster could attack her monster though, Shino called out "You're not going to take out my sister's monster! I activate the trap card Negate Attack! Now like the trap says, your attack is negated, and your Battle Phase is ended." A small vortex opened up in front of the black dressed monster, forcing the white armored woman to fly back to where she began from.
Softly growling, Blue said "I'll place one card face down, then switch my Silpheed into defense mode, and finally end my turn." (Shina, Shino 8300; Rebecca, Blue 3650)
Shina smirked and said "Thank you sister for your assistance."
Shino only sly smirked back and said "You'd better learn to keep yourself safer. You almost lost your princess in one shot."
Slightly growling, Shina shook it off and drew her card and smirked, saying "First, in my Standby Phase, Princess Curran's effect kicks in. Now for every monster on your two's field, you lose 600 life points. Since you have three monsters altogether, you lose 1800 life points! Do it Curran!" The black dressed monster let out a small cry and held up both her hands. She then released a black blast of energy from each hand. Each of the blasts quickly flew across the field and struck both Blue and Rebecca, making each cry out in pain. Rebecca fell to her knees, clutching her chest tightly and panting hard. Blue was panting hard as well, but remained standing, barely.
Looking over at her sister, Blue said "Hang in there Rebecca… We can do it. Just hang in there a little longer."
Rebecca slightly nodded and slowly stood up with great difficulty. Finally, she stood up fully again and tried to catch her breath.
Shina only chuckled evilly at this, and said "You two are pathetic. That won't matter soon. Next, while still in my Standby Phase, I activate Malice Doll of Demise's effect. You see, when it's destroyed due to a continuous spell card's effect, I can then special summon it back to the field in my Standby Phase. So now, rise up again Malice Doll of Demise (1600 + 500 2100/1700) in attack mode!" The doll with blonde hair and purple overalls reappeared on the field as it's axe gleamed in sunlight.
"I now summon the monster known as Tsukuyomi (1100 + 500 1600/1400) in attack mode." A light purple haired woman with purple clothing, light blue eyes, and a small sphere of energy appeared in her arms. Her forehead then glowed green as the seal appeared on it.
Smirking evilly, Shina said "Since I just summoned Tsukuyomi to the field, her effect kicks in. She now forces one monster on the field to switch to face down defense mode. The monster I'll choose shall be Blue's St. Joan!" The female monster grinned evilly as the sphere in her hand pulsed.
Before anything else could happen, Blue called out "I don't think so Shina, for I have a face down card! I reveal the spell card De-Fusion, allowing me to split my St. Joan back into the two monsters it took to fuse her together, so rise up Marie the Fallen One (1700/1200) and The Forgiving Maiden (850/2000) in defense mode." The white armored woman then split apart, and a black skinned angel with black wings in a pink dress with red shoes and an older woman in a black dress with a small hat then appeared on the field.
Shina lightly growled in frustration, but then smirked coldly and said "No matter, I'll just crush your monsters. Malice Doll of Demise, attack Blue's pathetic The Forgiving Maiden with Cleaver Strike!" With a small moan, the doll rushed forward and then swung it's axe at the woman in black, instantly slashing her in half. Not a sound was heard from her as she exploded into pieces.
"Princess Curran, attack Silpheed with Curran Staff Blast!" The small black dressed monster pointed her staff at the purple skinned monster. A blast of black energy then came flying from the staff and struck the monster, making the purple skinned monster cry out in pain and blow away into millions of pieces.
"Tsukuyomi, attack that pathetic Marie the Fallen One with Energy Sphere Strike!" The purple haired monster quickly crossed the field and struck the black angel with the sphere, making the angel cry out in pain. The creature finally exploded into pieces, finally ending the crying noise.
"I now move to my End Phase, in which Tsukuyomi is forced to return to my hand. You see, she is a Spirit type monster, so she must return to my hand at the end of the turn she's summoned. I believe that shall do it for my turn, so let's see what you can do." (Shina, Shino 8300; Rebecca, Blue 1850)
Rebecca drew her card and let out a small chuckle, saying "You two idiots will pay for ignoring me."
Both Shina and Shino let out a small laugh, with Shina saying "You're not important enough to worry about, little girl. It was your foolish choice to be in this duel, and obviously you don't belong here."
Smirking, Rebecca said "If you two had noticed, I had a monster in attack mode the whole time that had zero attack points, but you'll pay for your stupidity now. First, in my Standby Phase, I activate my Weapon Change's special ability! By paying 700 life points, I can activate it's effect, but since I have Spell Economics, I pay nothing. Now till Shina's next End Phase, I'm allowed to switch the attack points of one Warrior or Machine type monster on my side of the field with it's attack points, so I switch the points of the Millennium Shield (3000/0)!" The shield glowed golden as it's power rose to new heights.
Shina and Shino lightly gasped, then Shina lightly growled in frustration, realizing she had underestimated Rebecca. Seeing Shina's reaction, Rebecca said "I'm just getting started Shina, so watch this. I now summon Big Shield Guardna (100/2600) in defense mode." A warrior with long jet black hair and a pair of red pants with an odd colored shirt then appeared. On his left arm was a large shield. He then took a one knee position and placed the shield protectively in front of himself.
"I'll place one card face down. Now Millennium Shield, attack Shina's Princess Curran with Shield Rusher!" The shield glowed with a brilliant golden aura as it quickly lurched forward at incredible speed.
With only a second to spare, Shino called out "I activate the face down spell card Scapegoat! Now I special summon four Scapegoat Tokens (0 + 500 500/0) in defense mode on Shina's field, and I place all four on her front line, thus forcing Curran and Malice Doll to the back row!" Four little goat monsters then appeared on the field in front of the two remaining monster. Each goat's forehead then glowed as the seal appeared. Their eyes then opened and turned red, causing each to bear nearly formed fangs.
Growling slightly, Rebecca replied "Fine then, Millennium Shield, crush one of the tokens!" The shield then rammed into one of the goats, easily crushing it.
"That'll end my turn for now." (Shina, Shino 8300; Rebecca, Blue 1850)
Shino smirked and drew, saying "You two are foolish you know. Why continue to struggle against the inevitable? Why not just surrender?"
Blue was about to say something, but Rebecca beat her to the punch, saying "We won't ever give up! If we surrender, I know what'll happen, and I'm not about to give away my sister's soul!"
Blue was slightly shocked at her sister's statement and kindly smiled at Rebecca, silently saying "Thank you sister."
Rebecca smiled at Rebecca back, but Shino interrupted with "You two, I envy you both. You care for one another, unlike me and my twin sister. It's true, we care for one another, but Shina is selfish and cares for only herself. All our lives, she's tried to take what I wanted, including him…"
Shina growled angrily at Shino, yelling "Shut up and duel already! We have no time for you to throw a fit!"
Growling back at Shina, Shino coldly said "Shut your trap Shina. I'll win this duel with you, but it's not due that I want to. It's due that once I finish up here, I'm going back to him. You've done enough to ruin my life, and I refuse to let you to ruin my relationship with him anymore."
Shina only spat angrily "I DON"T CARE! JUST FINISH THEM!"
Nodding, Shino said "First, in my Standby Phase, Princess Pikeru's effect kicks in. For every monster we have on the field, we gain 800 life points, and since we now have six, we gain 4800 more life points." The white dressed monster let out a small cry for joy as she glowed, causing Shino's Duel Disk life point counter to jump up greatly.
"Next, I'll summon Mecha-Dog Marron (1000 + 500 1500/1000) in attack mode." A mechanical tan dog with a small dog collar then appeared on the field. It was a small dog, like a house dog.
Lightly giggling, Shino said "It's over for you two now. Marron, attack Rebecca's Millennium Shield with Mecha Tackle!" The small robot dog quickly charged towards the large shield and leapt into the air, hoping to tackle it. Instead, the small dog smashed into the shield and shattered into pieces.
Shino giggled innocently again, while Rebecca scratched her head, saying "Why did you just attack my Millennium Shield? It was way stronger than your dog."
The only reply she got was an innocent giggle as Shino finally said "I attacked due to Marron's special ability. You see, when destroyed due to battle, me and you both lose 1000 life points. That means there is no hope of escape for you two now. Pikeru, let's finish this duel! Attack Blue directly with Pikeru Staff Blast!" The small white dressed monster let out a happy cry and pointed her staff straight at Blue. She then fired a blast of white energy at Blue with enough power to end the game.
Before the blast could hit though, Rebecca called out "Not so fast Shino, I send in my Big Shield Guardna to defend Blue, so you won't be wiping us out this turn!" The large warrior quickly leapt in front of Blue and let his large shield take the hit. The blast was canceled out and saved both Blue and Rebecca's life points. The warrior then stood up as he moved back to Rebecca's field.
"My move unfortunately triggered Big Shield Guardna's special ability, which forced him into attack mode when he's attacked. It won't matter soon though, for I'm sure we'll beat you two no problem." Rebecca said with confidence.
Slightly ticked off, Shino said "Very well, I'll end my move. It's not like it matters, for on Shina's turn, you two are finished." (Shina, Shino 10500; Rebecca, Blue 850)
