Yugioh: Have faith in Kuriboh!
Chapter 4: Appear now… Winged Kuriboh!
The KaibaCorp store is where duel disks are sold. As I walk in, it feels as though I'm getting glares from other duelists in the store all around, or maybe it's just my imagination, but I am feeling extremely intimidated. I swiftly walk to the duel disks section, take a duel disk box, and then swiftly walk to the counter to purchase it. After finishing the ordeal, I head straight out the door.
Sitting on a bench outside, I unpack the duel disk from its box, and strap it onto my arm. Yeah, I feel so cool with this baby! Then I insert my deck into the deck slot, and then powered it up with some batteries that came in the box.
I played around with the holograms for awhile, feeling so fascinated at such technology that's now at the very tip of my hands. Then I practice shuffling with the duel disk strapped on, and also making epic hand movements. It didn't take long for me to feel completely satisfied and ready to duel someone. However, I then remembered how bad my deck is, which then crippled my self-esteem.
I take one final look through my deck, wishing it good luck, and then place it back in the deck slot. I'll duel anyone right now, for this will be the test to see whether this "heart of the cards" is true or not…
Rika: Hey Ronnie! Looks like you finally got a duel disk!
Ron: Yeah, but it's not modified yet.
Rika: Duel me.
Ron: What? Right now?
Rika: *grins* yes.
Ron: Well okay then… DUEL!
Rika: DUEL! I'll let you go first Ronnie.
Lifepoints: Ron 4000 / Rika 4000
Ron: Alright! I summon Celtic Guardian in attack mode! And that's all I got…
Celtic Guardian
1400 ATK/ 1200 DEF
Rika: My turn! Draw! Since you have a monster and I have no monster, I can special summon Cyber Dragon from my hand! Then I normal summon Cyber Phoenix! Cyber Dragon attack Celtic Guardian! Cyber Phoenix attack directly!
Cyber Dragon
2100 ATK / 1600 DEF
Cyber Phoenix
1200 ATK/ 1600 DEF
Ron: Ahhhh! That hurts! You forgot to turn off lethal mode!
Lifepoints: Ron 2100 / Rika 4000
Rika: Oops sorry! Well, I set two cards facedown and end my turn.
Ron: Draw…I set a monster in facedown defense position. And I set a trap facedown.
Rika: No Ronnie! You don't have to tell me it's a trap!
Ron: Oh dam, well I guess I'm screwed, I end my turn…
Rika: Draw! I activate polymerization! I fuse two Cyber Dragons from my hand, and also the Cyber Dragon from my field to fusion summon Cyber End Dragon!
Cyber End Dragon
4000 ATK/ 2800 DEF
Cyber End Dragon… Wait… A 4000 attack monster… Just like in my dream!
Rika: Cyber End Dragon attack your facedown!
Ron: My facedown is Aqua Madoor…
Aqua Madoor
1200 ATK/ 2000 DEF
Rika: My Cyber End Dragon pierces! So you lose 2000 lifepoints!
Lifepoints: Ron 100 / Rika 4000
It's so similar…So real… This is almost like my dream!
Rika: Well Ronnie… If my Cyber Phoenix manages to attack you, then it's over for you! Cyber Phoenix attack!
Ron: I activate my facedown trap! Call of the Haunted! I bring back my Aqua Madoor! But in attack mode…
Rika: Hmm… I won't give you any chances Ronnie! Cyber Phoenix attack Aqua Madoor to suicide!
That was the last monster in my hand… My hand is full of useless spells!
Rika: I end my turn.
Ron: It all depends on this! Come on heart of the cards! I DRAW!
I drew a Destiny Hero Defender…
Destiny Hero Defender
100 ATK / 2700 DEF
It's great that it has 2700 defense, but Cyber End Dragon will just pierce right through it… Wait… This other spell card, Destiny Draw! Finally I can make use of this spell!
Ron: I activate the spell card Destiny Draw! I discard my Destiny Hero Defender to draw 2 cards!
Come on Heart of the cards! I need you more than ever now! I've got no more opportunities!
I drew 2 cards I've never seen before. What are these? Where did they come from? I don't remember seeing these earlier ago. They're "Flute of Summoning Kuriboh" and "Transcendent Wings".
Could it be… The cards from my dream… I'm putting all my faith into this!
Ron: I set two spell/trap cards. I end my turn.
As I ended my turn, I couldn't resist the urge to smile. The feeling of possible victory, I can see it! All I have to do is do what I did in my dream.
Rika: Well Ronnie, it's possible that you're trying to bluff me. But I'm the aggressive type of girl who'll keep attacking no matter what! Cyber End Dragon attack Ronnie directly!
Ron: He-he, I activate one of my facedowns!
Suddenly, it felt as though I was overtaken by some strange force, some strange entity. I started to understand everything, the entire strategy, and knew exactly what to do and say.
Ron: Flute of Summoning Kuriboh! I choose to special summon Winged Kuriboh from my deck!
Winged Kuriboh
300 ATK / 200 DEF
Rika: Well, that causes a replay. But I'll still continue to attack! Cyber End Dragon attack Winged Kuriboh!
Ron: I activate my last facedown! Transcendent Wings! I send my Winged Kuriboh and two cards from my hand to the graveyard... To special summon Winged Kuriboh Level 10 from my deck!
Winged Kuriboh Level 10
300 Att / 200 Def
This card… Along with those two spells… They never existed in my deck until now…
Ron: I activate its effect!
Rika: Oh no…
Ron: I tribute my Winged Kuriboh Level 10 to destroy all monsters on your side of the field! Then... Inflict damage to your lifepoints equal to the total attack of your monsters! That's 4000 damage altogether!
Rika: Ahhhh!
Lifepoints: Ron 100 / Rika 0
Rika: You win Ronnie! Wow, how lucky you were…
It worked… The heart of the cards actually worked.
I take a glance at my Winged Kuriboh Level 10 card. It exists and it's real. I don't know how I got it, but I just used it and Rika is my witness. What a great day this was to me. As I rest on a bench, I continue to stare at this awesome gold and bright monster card. Suddenly…The Winged Kuriboh Level 10 blinked at me, followed by some strange familiar sound… *Kuri Kuri*
