Morning Musume - Kanashimi Twilight
I spent a good couple of minutes just staring at my hand while Alek contemplated why I didn't surrender. Zeradias, who could search Sanctuary in the Sky to my hand. Venus, who wasn't very helpful without life points. And then Kristya, who could summon herself if I managed to get one more fairy in the graveyard. Which was possible, with Zeradias, but then what? He still had Darkness Metal dragon, who was just as strong as Kristya. And even if I killed Dark End Dragon, Darkness Metal could bring it back. I had to get rid of them both, but that wasn't happening with the hand I held. I looked at the top of my deck, weighing the possibilities of drawing who I needed.
He always came, I was more than confident that he was there. If he wasn't...
"You'll regret not surrendering. I tried to be nice; tie in your ignorance with your inexperience. See how this plays out. I set one card face-down, and I end my turn."
His entire turn depleted his hand. To think, that it was only his first turn, and he did all of that. It was amazing to think about how much destructive force his deck had. It was even more amazing to think, if this deck was meant to combat Arata, what the hell is she running that's better than this?
I put my hand on the top card of my deck. All I needed was the one card to bring my whole deck together. I gently pulled on the card until the deck holder gave it to me, then quickly pulled it out to my far side.
I then just stared at Alek, no longer smiling, no longer nervous or afraid, no longer trembling in his shadow. I added the card to my hand, but I never took my eyes off of him.
"By discarding Zeradias, the Herald of Heaven from my hand, I can add The Sanctuary in the Sky to my hand; I'm playing it straight to the field!"
As I spoke the words, my duel disk fed my hand the card I needed, and I threw it into the field spell zone. The ground shook beneath us with minimal tremors; the room lit up in divine light, the ceiling and tile replaced with bright clouds. From behind me, the structure depicted in the card arose.
"Sanctuary negates all damage done to fairy-type monsters, preventing you from taking damage. Would've helped you last turn, but what good does it do you now?"
I held up the card I had drawn, and grouped it together with Venus from my hand.
"From my hand, by removing from play one Agent monster, I can special summon my godsend! The wings which provide shelter, the light that guides my path to victory. I call from the clouds, special summon! Master Hyperion!(2700/2100, Light/Fairy/Effect, Level 8)"
The clouds above us parted, and from them descended a large, red ring. The ring spiraled in the air, and soon filled with dark red light. There was a quick flash, before the human form of my angel came forth. Its black robes lined with golden designs, golden armor plates rested on its shoulders and held shining golden wings to its back. He brought his hands together, a crimson orb separating them by nearly a foot.
"Nothing that compares to my dragons."
"I then reveal my graveyard, showing that I have four fairies residing there. Earth, Jupiter, Herald, and Zeradias. Monsters who have thrown themselves in the way to stop your monsters. Monsters who have fallen, who once more gain power," the image of all four of the monsters then appeared on the field, their holograms faded, but they all stood behind Hyperion as their leader. Aleks sudden expression told me a lot. He knew why I was showing him the numbers. He knew why I needed four monsters.
"...You're kidding."
"With their spirits, I special summon the body of my potential, she who shatters the threshold of my limits! Special summon, my unlimited boundary! Archlord Kristya! (2800/2300, Light/Fairy/Effect, Level 8)"
I could hear Arata cheering and yelling in the background, her applause louder than anyone else's. Alek couldn't believe what he was looking at. The glittering shine of the armored angel, her red wings extended to their full span, her fists clenched and her arms crossed beside Hyperion, with the four spirits standing behind her.
"Luck sack. So bad." Alek murmured.
"And now, Hyperion's monster effect! By removing from play two fairies from my graveyard, I can destroy two cards on the field. This is why I needed my Sanctuary. Without it, two of your cards would remain, and gaining advantage would be a lot harder," Earth and Jupiter flew to Hyperion's side, their spirits fading into the crimson orb he held in his hands. The orb had doubled in size, waiting for my order. "Hyperion! Destroy Darkness Metal Dragon, and Alek's Dark-End Dragon!"
The orb was thrown forward, and Alek's entire field was engulfed in the dark red flames and light, singing his clothes but forcing no sound or reaction otherwise. From this fire emerged Alek, who still remained in the way. I was taking a huge risk by not destroying his face-down. But I couldn't allow him to have another turn. I had to win this turn, or I wasn't going to win. Necessary risks like that appear often, and judging when to take them and when to take a hit is a big part of the game.
"And now, Master Hyperion! Attack Alek's life-points directly!"
Hyperion prepared another orb, and once more threw it into Alek's field, this time engulfing him in a tower of fire, tossing his body around, but still he retained his composure.
Alek - 1300
Enzeru - 100
Allowing the attack to go through suggested to me that his face-down could not stop attacks. Which meant I was in the clear. Unless he was waiting for Kristya...
"And Archlord Kristya, attack his life points directly!"
"Reveal face-down," Alek held his arm out. "Compulsory Evacuation Device!"
God dammit!
"Compulsory returns Kristya to your hand, and out of my damn hair. Allowing her to live would've ruined my entire deck. And since you removed two of your fairies, you no longer have the required four in your graveyard to summon her."
Alek - 1300
Enzeru - 100
Despite how it looked, not destroying his face-down was a good call. Allowing him to keep either Red-Eyes or Dark End would have ensured that I would have lost. Even if I had chosen it to be destroyed instead, he could've chained it, and I would've wasted my effect. Kristya looked back at me for a moment, and a flash of light brought her back to my hand.
"A good effort, I have to say. I know when to recognize good plays," Alek sighed. He was complimenting me? That was odd. Even though the life-point difference was so great, I still smiled. Someone as good as him said that about me.
"Thank you. You too! I can't seem to stop your deck," I laughed a little. "You put a lot of work into it. I end my turn."
He smiled a little, put a hand on his top card, and suddenly his smile was gone. My heart sank very low after that. His face completely changed; he was angry, and his eyes... changed colors. The screen suddenly highlighted his face, and I couldn't believe what I was looking at. The whites of his eyes had completely darkened to black, and the color faded into a deep red. He pulled the top card of his deck, and flashed the face towards me, allowing the camera to zoom in on it as well. The card face was completely blank, white, and as he slammed the card onto his disk, the card image slowly faded in from the bottom.
"You honestly thought you could come up here and make a fool out of me?"
"What..?"
"There's no way in hell you would ever beat me. No matter what Arata told you, no matter what she ever says to you, you will never reach my level!"
The field in front of us became black, and from his side, a small spiral resembling a whirlpool spun. From the spiral, a black tower arose similar to those of our boss monsters. "There's no limit to the darkness in this one's heart. No other hands are worthy of guiding my own. Our combined power doesn't know the face of defeat. Special summon!"
From this tower, a pair of very large hands forced forward, the skin grey with long talons and spiked cuffs on each arm. Black, bladed armor traced up its body, the bends of its body outlines in drills. The black faded, revealing the dragon's full form, coated in blades. Its furious eyes matched Alek's perfectly.
"What the hell are you doing, Alek? What is that?"
"DARK ARMED DRAGON!(2800/1000, Dark/Dragon/Effect, Level 7)"
The spirits of Vice Dragon, Dark-End Dragon, and Darkness Metal Dragon suddenly appeared behind him, and all three of them vanished into Dark Armed Dragon's maw, where a massive, black fireball was prepared. It roared and screamed as it got bigger, and bigger, and when it finally unleashed, it completely swallowed the entire arena. Arata screamed my name over and over. Something felt wrong... The fire was actually... hot. Instead of a force throwing me around, or simulated warmth, the fire was real... I protected my face what little I could, but every exposed piece of skin seared like it was being ripped apart. I screamed, but the sound of the flames drowned me out. I couldn't see more than two feet in front of me, but I didn't have to. Dark Armed Dragon was waiting for me. The fire danced around him, parting like the red sea, and with another malicious scream, it forced its bladed claw into me, throwing me back, into the door, -through- the door, and onto my back outside, bleeding onto the dirt path. Everything was spinning. My vision couldn't focus. I looked down at my body; three bleeding gashes across my chest. My clothes were shredded and singed, my skin and hair burned. I watched Kristya in my hand until my vision had vanished, and my life-points hit zero.
Enzeru: Wow. Much more brutal than last time.
