Third person POV:
Yuma and Shadow: 5400
Melomelody the Brass Djinn
Rank: 3
Attribute: Light
Type: Fiend/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 1400
Gagaga Cowboy
Rank: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Warrior/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 1500
Zero and Orez: 4000
Inpachi
Level: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Machine
ATK: 1600
Yuma shouted, "Go, Gagaga Cowboy! Attack Inpachi!" Zero stated, "Your cowboy will be destroyed!" Yuma grinned as she explained, "Not if I use it's special ability! By using one overlay unit, it gains 1000 attack points and the monster it's battling loses 500!"
Gagaga Bowboy: 1500=2500
Inpachi: 1600=1100
The cowboy attacked the log machine when Zero yelled, "I activate a trap! Magic Cylinder! Sorry to say this..." The log reappeared along with a two cylinders as Zero concluded, "But you two take damage equal to your cowboy's attack!" One of the cylinders glowed as Yuma reacted stunned, "But that means..."
Shadow's POV:
I smirked and shouted, "Not if I activate one of my face downs! To be more exact, one of my traps! Wall of Sound!" Speakers rose out of the ground and play rock music as the cylinder fired a beam at us. However, the beam fizzled before disappearing. Zero exclaimed, "But how?!" I explained as the speakers moved to Gagaga Cowboy, "Hey, man. Chill. My speakers have three abilities. First, if a card effected if activated which involves an attack as part of it, the said attack is negated." The speakers began to play classical and soothe Yuma's cowboy as I continued, "Second, until our next turn, the cowboy is off limits to attacks and effects." A small stage with a red curtain appeared as I finished, "Finally, if the said monster is an Xyz monster, I can summon a monster from my extra deck that is one rank lower than the targeted monster and attach this card to it as Xyz Material."
I scanned my cards as I asked, "Now, who to join this band?" I picked one as I smirked and shouted, "How about we bring some strings into this? Appear, Muzurhythm the String Djinn!" A small furry creature wearing some Spanish-like clothes with a rose being held in his mouth and playing guitar appears on stage.
Muzurhythm the String Djinn
Rank: 3
Attribute: Wind
Type: Fiend/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 1500
The stage glowed as the monster jumped off and stand next to Melomelody. The stage became a small ball of light as it circled around Muzurhythm. Yuma sighed in relief as she said to me, "Thanks for saving me. Maybe, if you don't have a place to stay, you can move in with my family." I blushed at the comment as I replied, "I'll think about it." She nodded and shouted, "I end my turn with a face down!"
Third Person POV:
Orez shouted, "I draw!" She scanned her cards and asked, "Brother, may I?" Zero nodded as she continued, "I summon Battle Ox!"
Battle Ox
Level: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Beast-Warrior
ATK: 1700
Orez then said, "I now overlay my two monsters to build the overlay network to Xyz summon..." Shadow pointed at her and shouted, "Let me guess? Kachi Kochi Dragon!" Orez was surprised as the said monster appeared.
Kachi Kochi Dragon
Rank: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Dragon/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 2100
Orez demanded, "How did you know I was going to summon it?" Shadow explained, "It wasn't heard to narrow it down. First off, we have more life points than you, which meant you needed to eliminate as much as you can in one turn. Second, you summoned a level 4 monster while there was another on the field. So, by using the process of elimination, I determined the monster! Which is why I built a defense. Just try to attack us. I dare you." Orez gritted and shouted, "Kachi Kochi! Show him what you're made of! Attack Melomelody!" Shadow yelled, "It'll slip right through with this trap! Sliding Sound!" The dragon ended up sliding around the monsters and at Shadow as he explained, "You see, your monsters ends up doing a sliding maneuver and ends up attacking me instead, with an extra 100 attack!"
Kachi Kochi Dragon
ATK: 2100=2200
Shadow flew back as he took the attack.
Yuma and Shadow: 5400=3200
Orez asked, "Why did you make a reckless move like that?" Shadow said as he stretched, "Easy, it's called card effect! You see, if the attack is successful, I get to summon a monster from my extra deck that has attack points equal to or less than the damage inflicted. So I call upon my master of drums, Temtempo the Percussion Djinn!" A small fiend with a sombrero and yellow horns appeared while being surrounded by drums.
Temtempo the Percussion Djinn
Rank: 3
Attribute: Earth
Type: Fiend/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 1700
Shadow's POV:
I laughed and announced, "Hey, everyone! The whole band is almost together!" Yuma asked, "Wait, almost?" I smirked and explained, "Even though the instruments are in play, I still need the conductor to finish things." Orez said angrily, "I place one card face down and End. My. Turn." I shouted, "Then it's my turn again. I draw!" I looked at the card I drew and said, "Wall of Sound now loses it's effects." I turned to Yuma and asked, "Is it okay if I switch out the cowboy for the leader of the music?" Yuma smiled and replied while giving me a thumbs up, "You're feeling the flow!"
I yelled, "In that case, I play the spell Xyz Replacement! With this, I can target one Xyz monster on my side of the field and special summon a monster with equal rank, and the first target it's overlay units becomes the other monster's overlay units!" Zero asked, "Another Xyz monster?!" I answered, "Yeah, it's an Xyz monster, but not just that!" Gagaga Cowboy began to be enveloped in light as I finished, "This guy is the leader of the instrument trio before you! Get ready to feel the power of music! I summon, Maestroke the Symphony Djinn!" A sword that resembled a baton appeared in my hand and I threw it as cowboy caught it and was replaced with the new monster.
Maestroke the Symphony Djinn
Rank: 4
Attribute: Dark
Type: Fiend/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 1800
Orez asked, "What will you gain with that monster?" I shot back, "Why, it's effect but before I do that, I activate my other face down, Trap Stun! With this, all traps can't be activated and lose their effect!" Maestroke started jumping in place as I continued, "Now, you see, music can portray feelings and make creatures do stuff. A symphony is the same, depending on the music being played. So, by activating my Maestroke's special ability, I can make one of your monsters cower into face-down defense position!" Zero asked, "What?!" I shouted, "Maestroke uses one of it's overlay units to send Kachi Kochi on the defense, that's what!" Maestroke lifted his sword and blasted music that was a terrible mixture of Rock, dub step, and techno at the dragon who got scared and curled up.
Kachi Kochi Dragon
DEF: 1300
Orez and Zero shouted, "You can't!" "I can and I will! Maestroke, use Symphony Slash on Kachi Kochi!" The leader sliced right through the dragon as I added, "Now, MeloMelody, Muzurhythm, Temtempo, finish this act with all your might! Go, Symphony Blast!" The three little music players play a harmonious tune that became a beam of energy sent at the two duelist.
Zero and Orez: 4000=0
Yuma and Shadow win!
Orez's POV:
I stood there in shock. We lost? We needed the prize money to pay off the rent of our house! Zero looked at me and said, "We... Lost..." Shadow came up to us and said while bowing, "Thank you for allowing me to test the newest deck that coming out. Here, take this." He handed us a envelope and when we looked inside, we saw money that ten times the prize money! I stared at him and asked, "Why?" He smiled and explained, "Before the round, I looked into both of your backgrounds. I saw that you entered the tournaments to use the money to pay off the rent. I figured that, if you two lost, you should at least have something as a prize for getting this far. So, yeah." I cried as I shouted, "Thank you..." Shadow asked, "Just cheer for us until the finals, okay?" We nodded and shook his hand as the crowd cheered for us.
Shadow's POV:
The final round that happens tomorrow... There's a chance that there will be number cards. But what kind?
Time skip...
Yuma's POV:
Me and Shadow walked side by side to my house. I asked, "So you live by yourself?" He said nervously, "Not really, but my family is, um, different than others." Astral floated next to him and stated, "All families are different." Shadow admitted, "Okay, you're right about that. However, mine is, really different." "How different?" "Spirit different, but they're not dead." I smiled and asked, "Can you introduce us to them tomorrow?" He nodded. "I'm sure they'll be happy to meet you two." "Well, good night!" "Good night." I turned and bumped into the door before blushing and going in.
Shadow's POV:
I chuckled and was about to leave when I saw a card on the ground. It read, Number 96: Dark Mist. This must belong to Yuma. I was going to knock on the door, but I then realized that I could just give it back to her tomorrow. So, I pocketed the number and went home.
Well, this is heading somewhere. Reviews or comments?
