Hello! Sorry I'm late again. I have studies for my year-end exam (31st December). But hey, here's the chapter you all waited for.
To darkdoll25: Read on and you can see how some of the Malaysian speak English. These are the only mild examples.
This chapter mostly focuses on Subaru.
Chapter 4: Reunion
WELCOME TO KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.
"Well I'll say, thank you for welcoming. Despite we didn't use the plane way," said an elderly man calmly as he stripped off his coat. He turned to his companion, "Yula, feeling better now?" he asked.
The young woman named Yula replied gently with a nod. She felt warmer in this country compared to the western countries. "Yes Subaru, let's visit your mother first." the Hyakuya heiress voiced her opinion. "I haven't seen her in months. Wonder how is she now."
"Alah, Ah Ma everyday healthy mah. You know a not? You have a lot worrylah" spoke Subaru sarcastically.
"What?" Yula gave her husband a confused look, not understanding the accent.
"I said my mom is always healty. You worry too much, y'know." He translated his previous speech.
"What's with the accent?"
"Well I missed the way how I used to talk."
"Beloved… let's just go already."
"Aye," Subaru replied with a smile, "Alright, let's jet." The Hyakuya couple pulled each other's arms. The elderly Hyakuya then brought out a trap card, "Emergency Evacuation Device! Target: Home!" He declared and vanished without leaving any evidence of their existence in the airport.
The Hyakuya couple reached a small apartment by the hillside.
They were now transferred to an apartment. The apartment was a towering building consisting of 12 floors. The building has fading sky blue paints and several satellite dishes attached most residences. Subaru entered the apartment and took the elevator up to his old home. Memories returned to him every time he approaches his old home. Then, one unforgettable memory found its way into his mind.
Flashback
The elderly Hyakuya remained silent as he enters the building. Memories kept returning to him, reminding him the sin to that he had done to his mother – running away from home and never come back. Subaru's counter part saw this memory too the moment he had merged with Subaru. The Hyakuya regretted his actions greatly and paid the price by losing his memories, multiplying his guilt tenfold. Subaru then turns to his beloved, who noticed the guilt and sadness in his eyes. Yula gave him a warm and comforting smile as she lunged forward and plant a kiss on her husband's cheek.
"What is done is done, Subaru. As long if you are aware of what you did, you will be fine." She comforted.
"…" The usual calm and collected Subaru frowned with those words. Right now he is conflicted. "Yula… I… I too ashamed to look at my mother… every time I come here… I…" True to his words. The Hyakuya elder was always conflicted whenever he came to visit his mother. He hardly looked at his mother. He was ashamed to look and to even speak with her.
The former Duel Academy mentor sighed and dragged her former student to the front door. "Go on, open up. You have the keys right?" She ordered calmly.
Flinching, the runaway Hyakuya pulled out the keys and unlocked the doors hesitated. He twisted the handles…
To his expectations, the house was a mess. Laundries scattered throughout the living room and halls, leftovers and plastic plates pilled over the bins, an awful stench occupies the house as well as a lot of empty glass bottles and lottery tickets. The Hyakuya's had a look of sadness as well as a look of sympathy and shame. The elderly Hyakuya then fixed his eyes on the person slumped on the coffee table full of empty bottles. The person had been drinking a lot… He did not inched from his position. The Hyakuya elder turned his head aside with a tear running down his cheek. Yula sighed again and shoved him in. Subaru was then urged to nudge his mother. Wiping the tears off, the Hyakuya lowers himself and did something he had not do for a very long time.
"Mom," he called while nudging the figure.
The figure budged and rose up, revealing a slit-eyed woman. She had messy long grey white hair tied in a messy pony. Her face had wrinkles as well as marks indicating that she did not sleep and eat well.
Inwardly, Subaru was horrified by the appearance of his mother. He wanted to back away but was frozen in place by his other personality. The Hyakuya tried to hold back his sorrows but failed miserably as tears watered down his cheeks. He sobbed before his mother, something he did not do for a very long time.
"Kyou… you're back…" she said weakly along with a soft smile.
The former Kiyuugi could not hold back anymore. Kyou, aka Hyakuya Subaru does not deserve to see his mother's face. Neither does he deserve to talk to her. But he had bottle up everything for 10 years now. He had to tell her one way or another. He broke.
"MOM! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY I RAN AWAY FROM HOME! MOM! I'M SO SORRY!" he cried as he threw his arms over his mother's neck, surprising her. The Hyakuya elder confessed everything to his mother. "I HEARD EVERYTHING FROM AH GONG (Translation: grandfather in Cantonese). I'M SORRY!"
"Kyou… no… I am sorry… I shouldn't have…" Subaru's mother's words were cut short when he tightened his embrace.
"NO! I SHOULD'NT HAVE RUN AWAY! I SHOULDN'T!"
Subaru's mother raised an eyebrow and blinked. Then she responded… like every loving mother there is in the world, she embraced her son softly, rubbing his back, she whispered, "I forgive you… Kyou."
With those words, Subaru broke again into tears. He roared loudly like a baby.
Yula, Subaru's ex-duel spirit, savio, and former-mentor witnessed the touching scene between the mother and son. She was happy for her beloved. The former-mentor pulled her habit down, revealing her orangey blonde long hair and held the cloth to her chest as she felt the nostalgic wind blowing over her hair.
The Hyakuya was fortunate…
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: HEY! I CRIED WHEN I WROTE THIS FLASHBACK!)
End Flashback
"Subaru?" the Hyakuya elder snapped back to reality when he heard his wife called him. Subaru turned to his wife and gave a soft sigh.
"Every time I come back here, that memory keeps returning," the Hyakuya said. Then Subaru swapped personalities, "That is the reason why mother choose to remain here." Subaru's other personality spat in a sympathetic tone. "Mother wishes us to remember our home, so she chose to stay."
"Yes, beloved." Yula nodded agreeing to Urabus's wisdom. "I remember that time when mother give us her blessing during our wedding." The Hyakuya heiress said as she clapped her hands in a prayer. "Mother loves father, mother also loves you beloved. She wants you to remember your home and father." She added, emphasizing on the amnesia Subaru once had.
"TCH, enough with the old times already! Why are you two beginning to turn emo!" Urabus roared before swapping out Subaru. "Aw, Urabus's shy." The Hyakuya elder teased, earning a giggle from his wife. "Let's go."
The Hyakuyas enters the apartment and knocked onto the front door. No sooner, the door was answered by non other than Subaru's mother, Aima Kiyuugi. The figure before the Hyakuyas was an aging woman with graying black hair. She had wrinkles all over her face as well as having slit eyes. The woman was about a head shorter than Subaru. Compare to how she used to look like when the Hyakuya elder visited her to seek her forgiveness, the woman now looked healthier and fine.
"Um… hi mom." He greeted.
"Welcome home, Kyou." Aima greeted warmly.
"Hello papa." A familiar voice spoke out. The Hyakuyas turned to meet a familiar sight they had not met for a year.
Meanwhile with Soma and Clare, the two teens are currently having a small recess. The heterochromic teen decided to pay a visit to the two unidentified buildings on the western quarters of the college. Clare followed. The two teens then stumbled upon some gangs hanging around. These gangs were not just any gangs. Clare realized that they did not wear any uniforms; in fact, the clothing they wore had different designs and colors.
"Soma, why are they not wearing any uniforms?" Clare asked.
The heterochromic turned to the direction of question. He soon realized that he forget to tell her about the school gangs. "Oh, I forgot to mention this to you it seems." Soma answered stoically as he ran a hand to the back of his head. "Clare, I want you to meet the gangs this college has."
Soma turned Clare's direction to a group.
The first group that Soma was about to introduce to Clare was the Suzaku Squires. The gang wore blazing red versions of the college uniform. On the back of the uniform, Clare could see the image of a phoenix spreading it's wings with flames blazing and circling around it as designs for the uniform. "The Suzaku Squires, these guys are docile. They reign over the southern side of the academy. Most of their members are nature lovers too. On the other hand, they are very friendly. Next will be - "
Soma directed to another gang. This one wore white uniforms with some yellow trims. The back of the uniform had a white tiger with black strips. Clare watches as they stood in a group of three. The group seems be some sort of surveillance as they are observant of the area. "The Byakko Bureau. Like its name stated, they are the prefects of the school. They work with the Student Council. Their base of operation is in the east section, in other words, the student council building."
Soma directed his attention to the next gang. Clare watches as students in sky blue uniforms. They had a dragon as their emblem. Soma introduced them as Seiryuu Scholars. Clare could see why are they called scholars. Most of them are nerds. Some of them are busy with studying while others are occupied with their laptops. "Seiryuu Scholars, they are nerds as you can see. Don't bother hanging too much with them. Trust me. You can hardly make out a single word they speak. I call their language Intelligenese, a language that only Seiryuu Scholars can understand." True to Soma's words, Clare barely understood a word they are talking about. "Also, their base of operation is
"Last but not least, us." Soma concluded. To Clare's confusion, the last group seems to be empty.
"Us?" she asked.
"Yes, we are the last gang, the normal students of the college."
"That means we are now in a gang?"
"Not exactly. But no, we aren't. The northern quarter is unclaimed."
"Why is that?"
Soma stopped. He remained frozen in his spot. The heterochromic's eyes twitched as he turned to his childhood friend. He inched forward and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. Clare was confused by this action. She had never seen Soma this silent about a topic before, but nonetheless, the heterochromic removed his hand off her shoulders and continued.
"You want to know why?" he asked stoically.
All of a sudden, Soma's spiritual companion appeared out of the blues behind him and eyed him curiously. Just say it, Soma.
The heterochromic sighed at the two curious beings. He lowered his head and gave a serious glare while he explained, "Because the north was claimed by a very Very VERY strong duelist."
Clare could feel a chill down her back at the serious monotone Soma is giving out.
"Let's see… according to my sister who once studied in this college, she mentioned that the duelist is incredibly strong. My sister also told me that she had already graduated about three years ago. But even though she had graduated, that woman still reign the quarter until today. She called herself the Genbu Gespenst. Also, my sister told me that she is a lesbian." Soma cringed while he explained. Both Clare and Astral could see that Soma is both lying and honest about 'this woman'. But which part is he telling the truth and which was not, they cannot tell. Yet, they figured that Soma ACTUALLY knew this woman very well and they decided to drop the subject for another time.
On the contrary, Clare cringed when she heard that 'this woman' was a lesbian. "Let me guess, your sister, well… was she…"
Soma knew what Clare was about to ask. He raised a hand to silence her and answered, "Don't worry, Saya's also a lesbian."
Clare's jaw slacked at the revelation.
Astral on the other hand was puzzled with the word 'lesbian'. "It seems like lesbian is for women… Soma," he called, "What's a lesbian?"
"Don't ask." The heterochromic replied logically to avoid being bombarded with questions concerning his sister.
Back with the elderly Hyakuyas, the sight of their eldest offspring – Hyakuya Saya, greeted both Subaru and Yula. The Hyakuya before them was a matured woman with shoulder length center-split silver hair with some streaks of black highlights on her bangs. Saya spots a heart-shaped face with a beautiful mole under her left eye. Like all half duel spirits, she was a heterochromic – her left eye was crimson while her right was metallic silver. The silver haired woman only wore black tight jacket with nothing to cover her exposing voluptuous body, in fact she only buttoned up her chest (A/N: Ahem, You know what I mean). The woman also wore black shorts, further exposing her body. The silver haired heterochromic waved at her parents, but mostly to her mother.
"Au, ha~i mama, you look as gorgeous as I last saw you. Could you hold me just like how we used to while I was young?" In other words, will you have a round with me despite you're my mom and all. Flirted the silver hair Hyakuya.
The Hyakuya heiress smiled nervously and replied, "Maybe later…"
"Aw… then what about a massage?"
"Um… no thank you…"
"Then how about a kiss?" she arched further and stuck her lips forward.
"Please stop that Saya," Yula replied nervously at her daughter's antics. The Hyakuya heiress was nervous around her lesbian daughter. "How did I give birth to a lesbian?" she mumbled.
"Hey, it's great! Especially when you get to touch the August 15." Saya bit her finger with a glee as she narrowed her eyes lecherously at her mother's assets.
"August 15?" Yula bewildered at the Malaysian slang and turned to her husband for an explanation.
"I'll give you a hint: you use this part of your body to sit." That explanation had immediately effects. Yula's face turned as red as a tomato. She fondled with her clothing as she shifted uncomfortably. "How about a hug for me, Saya?" asked the Hyakuya elder with open arms as he tried to change the topic.
"You'll get yours later, dad. We can put that aside. But mom's hug can't wait." Saya said coldly to her father and reverted to her flirtiest nature to her mother.
"…" The Hyakuya elder turned to one corner. He went down to his knees and murmured solemnly, "My daughter doesn't like me…" he added his solemn by taking in a breath slowly and exhaled sadly.
"Aw, don't cry papa. You know I love as much as mama… well a little but in any case…uh…" the Hyakuya elder was more dejected when he heard 'a little'. "I guess I shouldn't have said that…" she said sheepishly.
"C'mon, jokes aside now," the elderly Kiyuugi mentioned as she clapped for their attentions. "Kyou, you should have told me that you're coming."
"Well…" the former Kiyuugi scratched the back of his head and replied, "I'm getting old these days, so I can't really remember much mom."
"Hey… I'm the oldest here and how come I don't forget your name?" Aima said in slang. "Also, SAYA!" that roar surprised the silver haired heterochromic, "I hope you just start dating with men instead of women."
"Aww, Ah Poh (Translation: Grandmother in Cantonese)! Men are very useless these days," Saya said boldly, much to her father's remorse.
"Oi…"
"Well except papa and So-So," the Hyakuya added quickly, causing a busy Soma shivering (SNAP.W-Why did I get the feeling that a lesbian is trying to insult and compliment me?). "But still, to me, men are awful." She continued while reminiscing an unpleasant memory.
"Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi," Urabus emerged from his polar opposite's mind. He slapped his hand at his daughter's direction showing annoyance, as he was insulted. His daughter giggled at the sight of her second father's annoyed face. "I will say this once girl. I don't know what happened to you that turn you like this, but BELIEVE ME! I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED."
"You may try, but you will fail, especially when your only lead is So-So… Oops." Saya clapped her hands to her mouth at once when she realized her mistake.
A dangerous glint sparkled in Urabus's eyes indicated that he is about to go to the extreme to squeeze Soma dry of that information. "I see, in that case, I will need to ask him once we're back. If he isn't telling me, then I guess I'll treat him to Kentaki's Fried Goose." THAT comment ticked Yula.
The Hyakuya heiress punched her husband on the head sending him mopping the floor.
"Ugh… why me?" Subaru's feeble cringes could be heard out of Urabus's downed body.
"Urabus! If I hear one more comment about treating our children to animal brutality, I will have to limit the amount of sour intakes you can have." Yula spoke sternly, which here means, I will have no choice but to confiscate all those sour candies you have in the fridge.
The Hyakuya family had two fridges. One is located in the kitchen, while the other is in the master bedroom. The one in the kitchen contains all the food the family consumed, while the one in the master bedroom contains only sour candies. These sour candies are like jelly like strips that comes in varieties of colors. In fact, the alter ego of Subaru developed a liking to these candies the moment he tried them. It was almost like addiction, but comical. On another note, Subaru was always unhappy when Urabus consume them because he disliked sour food. Since both of them shared one body, the true owner of the body – Subaru, always had stomach ache whenever he swapped out after some intake of sour foods.
On the other hand, animal brutality is one of the main concerns for the family. Since Yula is a winged-beast in human body, she give birth to two part winged-beasts. The family had a taboo of eating anything out of a bird. Eggs, birds, or ducks are some of the few 'food' they are forbidden to take. Subaru and Urabus had no problem with the rule, since they had a picky attitude when it comes to food.
The alter ego of Subaru jaw dropped to the ground when he heard the warning. Subaru had swapped to relay his message, "Who could have thought, the one (Urabus) who used to order his henchmen (one of the said henchmen being Yula) around is now been ordered by one of his henchmen. Talk about Karma."
The mother of Subaru aka Kyou giggled at the display. Our son sure has grown a lot, Fumika…
A few days later, the Hyakuyas excluding Saya decided to visit some of their old friends. After hearing that Duel Academy was having a reunion party, the two decided to go for it. Today is the day for the party. Subaru had used Back to Square One to instantly return to retrieve their needed equipments for the event. While they were home, they learned out that Soma and Clare were not at home and believed that the two are actually dating. After all, they could see it in both teens; the two had feelings for each other.
Subaru wore his uniform the way he used to wear them. Subaru now had on a plain beige T-shirt inside his sleeveless grey jacket that used to match his hair. His had on his old jet-black jeans, which surprised him when he realized that he could still fit in them after all these years. He then accessorized himself with a chained necklace that has a Chronoforcian insignia. (Check my profile photo for the insignia description)
Yula, on the other hand, had already worn the clothing she used to wear while she was a teacher. All she needed was her Academy Disk and deck.
The Hyakuya elders then took off.
On a distant island not far from Domino City, a grand celebration took place. The place was furnished in a way that the entire place looked like a party for VIPs. The current students of the academy were all amazed to see their seniors of the school. Some even recognized them, like the Positions siblings
The eldest of the Positions was called Lucas Positions. He is still in the professional leagues of dueling. The eldest of the Positions wore his signature elite Obelisk Blue uniform. He had shoulder length deep violet hair and a pair of cool violet eyes. He uses a Zombie swarming deck, which could turn the situation into a reversal. Lucas was the coolest among the siblings. He was also one of the Top 5s of Duel Academy.
The next Positions was Lapis Positions Ragou. She was engaged and had a daughter, who loves colorful objects such as the rainbow. She had wavy long lavender hair tied in a pony and a pair of lavender eyes. The woman also donned the Obelisk Girls uniform. She uses a chaos ritual deck. Like the eldest, she was popular for her grace and beauty.
The last of the Positions was Liner Positions. He worked as a card creator and a part time tournament duelist. The youngest of the Positions had magenta hair and aquamarine eyes. He wore an elite Ra uniform. Liner uses a Dragunity deck that focused on bring out his ace monster. On another note, the youngest of the Positions was a great friend to none other than a shopkeeper who goes by the name Kai Silence.
Kai Silence arrived to meet his friends, rivals and archenemies. Those who knew him called him Ki, others known him as Kalines Iverc, son of the world champion. Ki uses a deck he called Silent Arcane. He was also one of the Top 5s of the academy.
The next person who came to join the party was an Asian – Yuri Yagami. Yuri made an impressive entrance that left the new gen students awestruck. He arrived here by ridding on Legendary Ebon Stead, in other words, on a jet-black armored horse that could even galloped on the surface of the ocean like it galloped on the ground. The Japanese arrival had short jet-black hair. He dons a grayish white upper wear and a stiff, striped silk black divided hakama tied from waist level and fall approximately to ankles, covering his entire body. The man had on a pair of dark crimson purple eyes, glittering with honor and just. He had a strange device strapped around his left arm under the sleeves and a thin long black sheath by his right shoulder. The Japanese arrival was a regional champion who uses the Legendary Six Samurais. He is also one of the Top 5s.
Everyone was delighted to meet old faces again. They even chatted among each other and traded stories of their life. They were even delighted when a blind man joined them. The blind man was known as Rico Gens. The blind man had olive hair and wore a standard Ra Yellow uniform. He utilized a Genex deck. The blind man was a half duel monster. He appeared blind, but he could jack into other people's sights and see things through their eyes. The blind man was the fourth Top 5s and was famous for his weird accent, for example:
"Ei! Yellow bradda. Long time no see ha? You ok mah? Your lou poh good mah? Ei Ki, lei good mah?" (Translation: Hey! Hello brother, Long time no see! You ok? How's your wife? Hey Ki, how are you?)
And that is only a mild version of his accent. Many had difficulties to understand what Rico wanted to say. Up until now, only two people could understand him – Ki and Subaru. Speaking of Subaru, the final Top 5s arrived when he appeared out of a light that crashed onto the island. He waved coolly at his friends with his wife bowed politely at her former students.
"LOOK! EVERYONE!"
"AMAZING! THE TOP 5s!"
IT'S THE TOP 5s GUYS!"
These reactions were expected. The new generation students along with the former ones, who enrolled together with the Top 5s, gathered around the former elites. Some were asking for handshakes and autographs. Some even requested to take pictures with them. Then, they were asked for free duels and challenges. They accepted with one term: Both duelists begin with 4000 Life Points.
The Top 5s took their positions and dueled their opponents one by one.
Yula took this liberty to meet her former colleagues.
Time passed by almost an instant. The duels had come to an end and everyone who dueled the Top 5s was enlightened by the duel. They did not win, but at least they had won a memory worth remembering. Taking this opportunity, the Japanese approached the Hyakuya elder and requested a duel for old time sake.
"Oh, a duel y'say," the Hyakuya elder said with an aggressive grin. He turned his body to his old friend and pocketed his hands. "It's been too long ex-Regional Champion, Yagami Yuri." He added.
"Hai (Yes), it is." The Japanese said as he drew the katana from the sheath. "I call tis our 46th match tomo (friend). So don't fail me." The former Japanese regional champion the pulls his kimono left sleeve to reveal a device with a slim hole. The Japanese then thrust the katana through the hole. The device on his arm responded. The device rotated to Subaru with its blade pointing at him. The blade then split in half, extending into two layers. The layer of the blade then extended left and right and extended further, revealing a duel disk. The duel disk is slim and silver, just like the katana. It has every feature of any standard issues. The only difference is that the custom-made duel disk can be folded into a katana.
"I never get tired of seeing that duel disk of yours Yuri. Then again, I'll show you the old sight of mine." Subaru said as he raised his right prosthetic arm. The artificial skin began to peel itself inside out. The arm extended and revealed its interior. The prosthetic arm was mechanical. It was reshaping itself. Subaru was not a stranger to this change. His arm reform itself into a duel disk with his hand retained in shape. The duel disk resembles the Academy issue duel disks. But instead of red, yellow or blue trims, the duel disk had grey and jade trims.
"Hoo," the Japanese made a wolfish remark. "Remind me of Taamineta (Terminator). I used to like the show."
"Enough cheap talk, let's duel." Subaru said as he pulled out a coin. "We decide our senkou (first turn) with a coin toss. Your call."
"Ura (Tails)"
"Heads it is," the Hyakuya flips the coin to the air. As soon as the coin lands on Subaru's palms, he reveal its result, "Tails…"
"Yoshi! Senkou moraimasu (I'll go!)" the Japanese pulled out six cards while the Hyakuya did nothing but crossed his arms.
"DUEL!"
Yuri – 8000
Subaru – 8000
"Ikimasu (Here I go!)" the Japanese analyze the cards in his hands before proceeding. "Ma first go is tis! Firudo Mahou (Field Spell), Temple of the Six" The former Japanese champion played. As he lay down the card into a hidden slot, a tremor occurred. Then, behind the former champion a large building shot out of the grounds. The building resembles the famous Japanese structure of Edo Castle Tower. It even had stone walls surrounding the building like a fence. The gate had a glowing emerald glyph. "With tis field spell, whenever I summon or special summon a Six Samurai monster, I can add one Bushido Counter to this card. For each counter this card contains, your monster loses 100 attack points." The Japanese continues, "Sugi! Eizoku Mahou (Next! Continuous Spell), Gate of the Six Samurai activate!" The gate of the field spell glowed brighter than normal. "With this card, whenever I summon a Six Samurai monster, this card gains 2 Bushido Counters. That's not all, I can also remove as much amount of counters I want to apply these effects."
"Heh, figures. Old habits die hard remains a die hard." Mocked Subaru shrugging.
"Ikimasu! I summon Legendary Six Samurai – Shinai (Level 3/Water/Warrior/Effect/1500/1500)!"
A warrior clad in violet armor appeared. The warrior had on a mask as well as red hair. He wielded two kanabou. As he perform his stance. The samurai turns to his summoner and conversed with him. Subaru noticed the similarity of the samurai and the Japanese.
"In your first turn, you bring out your pre-incarnate. So brave." The Hyakuya had swapped personalities with his counterpart – Urabus. "Plan to die another hero's death?" Urabus mocked.
"Oi, oi!" The Japanese pouted.
"Whatever," Urabus spat before relieving. "Alright Yuri, let's carry on."
"Aa!" Yuri nodded and continued, "Now, with a Six Samurai summoned, Temple of the Six gains a counter while Gate of the Six Samurai gains two."
Yuri – 8000, Temple of the Six – 1, Gate of the Six Samurai – 2.
Subaru – 8000
"I'm not finished, with Legendary Six Samurai – Shinai on the field, from my hand, I special summon, Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho (Level 3/Fire/Warrior/Effect/1600/1000)." As Yuri played the card, the gate opened up. A woman in red armor darted through the gates. She passed her summoner and headed towards the warrior with two kanabous. She stopped and drew two crescent shaped like swords from her back. The crescent blades were as intimidating as the woman's glares.
"… Kind of remind me of the Sengoku history… Nagamasa Azai and Oichi…" said Subaru as he emphasized on some Japanese historical figures. "Then again, I believe since you have summoned another Six Samurai on the field, I can tell that your cards gain some counters as well."
Yuri – 8000, Temple of the Six – 2, Gate of the Six Samurai – 4.
Subaru – 8000
"Hai, that's correct. But I'm not finished. With Gate of the Six Samurai's effect, I now activate its effect. With this card, I remove 4 bushido counters to conduct this effect-"
Yuri – 8000, Temple of the Six – 2, Gate of the Six Samurai – 0.
Subaru – 8000
"-I can search and add from my deck or graveyard a monster with Six Samurai in its name to my hand. So with this effect, I add Kagemusha of the Six Samurai." Yuri said added the card. "I will end my turn at this." The Japanese swung his arm epically.
"Always the epic type eh…" Subaru sighed with his arms crossed. "Now then, you do realized that I haven't draw any cards yet right?" the Japanese nodded, "Glad to know." Subaru continued, "Now you have four choices Yuri, A. White, B. Black, C. Grey and D. Colorless." Subaru pointed out four fingers as he counted.
"Ah, the ABCD choice again, eh… I'll pick… Colorless."
"Then Colorless it is." Subaru placed his hand on his deck. He focused and then pulled six cards.
"Let's begin. First off, I begin by special summoning Tech Genus Striker (Level 2/Earth/Warrior/Tuner/600/0)" Subaru placed the card onto the Monster Zone. A portal opened up. As it did, a bionic humanoid darted through and entered a combat stance. "With a Level 4 or lower monster successfully special summoned, I can now special summon Tech Genus Warwolf (Level 3/Dark/Beast/Effect/1000/0)." Another portal appeared. A wolf like silhouette charged through the portal savagely and entered a stance.
"Oya oya… an Inca deck I see, last I remember, that was your best deck." Yuri commented.
"It has improved over the years Yuri, here I go, Level 3 T.G. Warwolf, with Level 2 T.G. Striker, tuning!" The bionic warrior unleashed two sparks which takes shapes into 2 halo hoops. The bionic wolf head through the hoops as Subaru chanted, "Level 5 Limit Release! Thruster unit, A.I. unit, Info Library unit, External Link unit, Backup Program. Installation complete. Come on! T.G. Hyper Librarian (Level 5/Dark/Spellcaster/Synchro/Effect/2200/1800)!" The light faded, revealing a blonde in futuristic clothing. He had a plate like book in his hand.
"Gakkouii (Cool)! It's been too long since I last seen that monster in action!" Yuri commented with stars in his eyes.
"Wait till you see what's next. Carrying on! From my hands I activate the effect of One for One! With this card, I discard one monster as costs in order to special summon a Level 1 monster from my deck or hand!" Subaru discarded a card with the portrait a ladybug with a star on its back. "I discard Level Eater, in order to special summon Tech Genus Cyber Magician (Level 1/Light/Spellcaster/Tuner/0/0)" A portal appeared, summoning a little futuristic magician. "Now, with Cyber Magician's effect, I can synchro summon using this card along with a Tech Genus monster in my hand. In other words, I synchro summon Tech Genus Rush Rhino (Level 4/Earth/Beast/1600/800) in my hand with T.G. Cyber Magician." The magician unleashed a spark that forms into a hoop. A bionic rhino appeared and head into the hoop as Subaru chanted again, "Level 5 Limit Release. Power Core, Synch Unit, LAN Portal, WI-Fi Unit, Backup Program, ok. Installation Complete. Come on! Tech Genus Wonder Magician (Level 5/Light/Spellcaster/Synchro/Tuner/1700/0)" A magician in futuristic red robe appeared. She had red twin tails along with green face paint and metallic cross wings.
"Kawaii (Cute)!" Yuri commented, causing the… duel monster to blush.
"Yeah, she's cute, but she gets cuter with this. T.G. Wonder Magician's effect activates. When this card is successfully special summoned, I can destroy a spell or trap card on my opponent's field. Like the Gate of the Six Samurai of yours." Soma pointed at the spell card. The magician shrugged her blush away and fired a bolt at the gate. The card shattered like glass and disappeared from the field.
"Also, with Hyper Librarian's effect, I draw one card every time I synchro summon a monster." Subaru pulled another from his deck. "Nice, I need this card. I now summon Kinka Byou (Level 1/Earth/Beast/Spirit/0/100)" Subaru summoned the monster. A cute little white cat appeared to the field. Then, its shadow began to form into a big phantom like cat.
"Kowai (Scary)!" Yuri roared.
"Here's more, with Kinka Byou's effect, I can special summon a Level 1 monster from my graveyard. I pick Tech Genus Cyber Magician (Level 1/Light/Spellcaster/Tuner/0/0)" The same futuristic magician appeared beside the pink clad magician. "Now we go for an overdrive. Level 1 Kinka Byou tune with Level 1 Cyber Magician. Level 2 Limit Release. Engine, Navigator, ok. Installation Complete. Come on! Tech Genus Recipro Dragonfly (Level 2/Earth/Insect/Synchro/Effect/100/300)!" A dragonfly like red machine appeared.
"OH! Tonbo da (A dragonfly)!" the Japanese smirked at the sight of the mechanical dragonfly.
"I'm not done! Since it's another successful synchro summon, I will go on with Hyper Librarian's effect." Subaru drew another card, "Now all is assembled, Level 5 T.G. Hyper Librarian and Level 5 T.G. Wonder Magician, tuning! Limit Removal Level 10. Powers beyond unlimited, bring forth the new era of Synchro Summoning. Grant me strength to reign over this duel! Accel Synchro Summon! Come on! Tech Genus Blade Gunner (Level 10/Earth/Machine/Synchro/Effect/3100/2200)" After the chant, a humanoid android appeared. The android's distinctive feature was the right-handed gun that contained a blade.
"A mecha! Gakoii (Cool)!" Yuri blurted with stars in his eyes.
"I'm not finished. I carry out Recipro Dragonfly's effect. With this card, I can send a Tech Genus synchro monster on my field to the graveyard. Also, if the materials used for that synchro monster are in the graveyard, I can special summon them. I send T.G. Blade Gunner to the graveyard to bring back Wonder Magician and Hyper Librarian" Two cards ejected from the graveyard zone and the two magicians (T.G. Hyper Librarian and T.G. Wonder Magician) reappeared to the field. "Now all are finished. I shall bring forth my strongest monster. DELTA ACCEL SYNCHRO SUMMON!" Subaru roared as he raised his hand to the air, "I tune Level 2 Recipro Dragonfly and Level 5 Hyper Librarian with Level 5 Wonder Magician! Limit Release Level Maxx! Powers beyond unlimited, bring forth the advanced and true power of synchro summoning. The reign has begun. Delta Accel Synchro Summon! COME ON! Tech Genus Halberd Cannon (Level 12/Earth/Machine/Synchro/Effect/3800/4000)!"
The summoning had summoned a supernova. That effect had caught the attentions of the whole island. The people on the island quickly run to the direction of the supernova effect. As they arrived, they were stunned and shocked at the new sight unfolded before them. A colossal sized android stood up before them. The android had jet-black armor and some gold trims. It held a halberd in one hand like a sentry. The witnesses shifted their gaze to where it is facing now. Then they know what was going on. Before them commenced a duel between two top fives – Civil Yap Kenears, aka Hyakuya Subaru and Yagami Yuri. They cheered.
Subaru and Yuri ignored the duel and continued with their duel.
"Now! T.G. Halberd Cannon! Attack! Megaton Blaster!" the colossal android lowered the large catapult cannon behind its back and pointed the cannon at the warriors. "Attack Legendary Six Samurai – Shinai!" The colossal android lowered the cannon angle at the warrior with two kanabous. The android fired its cannons, destroying the warrior.
Yuri – 5700, Temple of the Six – 2
Subaru – 8000
"With this, I end my turn by placing a card face-down." Subaru ended his turn as he placed one of his two cards.
"Yoshi, ikimasu (Alright, here I go)! Doro (Draw)." Yuri pulled his next card and revealed it along with three other cards in his hand. "Ho… korewa ii (Oh… this is good). Since you had show me your strongest, then I shall show you mine. From my hands, I activate the sokko mahou (Quick Spell), Rokubushuu no aragyou(Asceticism of the Six Samurai)! With this, I can special summon one Six Samurai monster from my deck with a different name but equal attack points of one Six Samurai monster I control. Demo (But), the selected monster is destroyed during my end phase. So… I select Legendary Six Samurai with this effect and special summon Rokubushuu no tsuyuharai (Hand of the Six Samurai) (Level 3/Fire/Warrior/Effect/1600/1000)!" As the card is summoned, the gate of the field spell opened again. A figure approached the field and stood beside the warrior in red armor. Subaru could see the resemblance between both females.
Yuri – 5700, Temple of the Six – 3
Subaru – 8000
"Yoshi, kakkugo shimasu (Alright, prepare yourself)!" cried Yuri as he shot his hand forward, "Watashiwa kono nitai no monsutaa de Obaarei Nettoaaku o kochiku (I use these two monsters to create an Overlay Network)! Xyz Summon! Ideyo, Rokubushuu no Daikunshu! Ima koso omae no chikara to sono sugata o arawareba ii (Arise, Overlord of the Six Samurai! Reveal yourself and the strength you possess)!"
The summoning chant was enough to send the spectators to their guards despite they are not dueling. Both the female warriors become wisps and entered a dark portal. As soon as Yuri finished his first part of the chant, a silhouette rose from the portal along with two red wisps. The silhouette then revealed its appearance as Yuri finished his chant. The new monster is yet another female warrior. On the other hand, the warrior was no different than the two women. The warrior had straight long jet black. She had a pair of cold blood red eyes and fair skinned. She had tribal marks from her cheek to her back and a flame like tattoo on her forehead. The warrior donned a red Japanese armor with gold trims. She held two silver crescent swords and stared coldly at Subaru.
(Ahem… imagine Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho… with the face of Asceticism of the six Samurai with some red facial marks… wearing Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En's armor that has no wings…)
"This is my new monster, Dai Shogun Mizuho (Rank 3/Fire/Warrior/Xyz/Effect/2000/1600). With this card on the field, card effects cannot destroy monsters with Six Samurai or Shien in their name." Yuri quipped.
"Which is why I will play this effect! T.G. Halberd Cannon activate! When a monster is summoned, special summoned or flip summoned, I can negate their summoning and destroy that monster. I can use this effect for as many times I as the amount of monsters I used to synchro summon it, including the tuner. I used three monsters… so I can use this effect up to 3 times. Now go! Summon Cancel!" Subaru declared.
"Oh no you don't! Dai Shogun Mizuho's effect activates! If this card is about to be destroyed, I can remove one Xyz material from this card to negate the destruction." One of the wisps was absorbed into the flame tattoo of the warrior. The female warrior vanished from the android's sight and reappeared before it.
"Man, what a pain!" Subaru quoted as he scratched his head with an annoyed face.
"I know, but it was either this or the other. Anyway, carrying on! From my hand, Legendary Six Samurai – Kageki (Level 3/Wind/Warrior/Effect/200/2000) Mairimasu (Forward)!" the Japanese continues. At that summoning, a yellow armored Japanese swordsman appeared. The swordsman had four swords. He drew a sword to reveal a nitoryu style. He later revealed two bulky mechanical hands. The two artificial hands drew two more swords, revealing a yontoryu style (1700/2000). The swordsman then assumed a stance signaling that he is ready for combat. "Kageki's effect activates, when this card is summoned, I can special summon a Level 4 Six Samurai monster from my hand. I think you can guess who is it." Yuri quoted with a smirk.
"Yeah, I know. Kagemusha of the Six Samurai (Level 2/Earth/Warrior/Tuner/400/1800)" A warrior in green armor appeared to the field. He knelt down with his spear ready.
Yuri – 5700, Temple of the Six – 5
Subaru – 8000
"Yoshi, korede oshimai (Alright, this is the end)! With all assembled, I now commence Synchro Summon! Level 3 Kageki and Level 2 Kagemusha, tuning! Ideyo, Rokubushuu no Sousetsusha, ima koso omae no shugi to ken soshite sono sugata o arawareba ii! (Arise, Founder of the Six Samurai, reveal your principles and sword as well as yourself!) Synchro Summon! Shin Rokubushuu – Shien (Legendary Six Samurai –Shi En) (Level 5/Dark/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/2500/1400)"
At the end of the chant, a warrior with similar armor appeared beside the female warrior. The warrior held a silver katana imbued with a visible purple aura.
Yuri – 5700, Temple of the Six – 6
Subaru – 8000
"Oh, it's Oda Nobunaga!" Subaru quipped pointing at the warrior. "But still, even with all these monsters, T.G. Halberd Cannon (3400) is till far superior to that despite the decrease in attack points."
"True, true. But I still have Dai Shogun Mizuho's third effect." This caught Subaru's attention, "This card gains attack points equals to the original attack points of all Six Samurai monsters on my field. Shi En's attack points are 2500, so Mizuho gain 2500 attack points (4500)!" Yuri declared surprising the audiences. "Saa ike (Now go)! Dai Shogun Mizuho, Shinra Basho!" The female warrior crossed her arms and leapt into the air. She performed multiple slice and dice on the android (3400), destroying it.
Yuri – 5700, Temple of the Six – 6
Subaru – 6900
"T.G. Halberd Cannon's effect activates! When this card is destroyed, I can special summon one Tech Genus monster from my graveyard. With this effect, I special summon T.G. Blade Gunner (Level 10/Earth/Machine/Synchro/Effect/2700/2200)" Subaru summoned the green android to the field.
"Ah… zannen (what a pity)" quipped the Japanese disappointedly. "I call my turn end at this point." Yuri raised his hand, revealing no cards.
"Alright, my turn!" Subaru pulled the next card. He revealed it along with his other cards. "Alright. I now play the effect of Level Eater (Level 1/Dark/Insect/Effect/0/0) in my graveyard. By decreasing the level of 1 Level 5 or higher monster on my field, I can special summon it from my graveyard." A ladybug passed through the android (Level 9). "Now I play the effect of T.G. Gear Zombie (Level 1/Dark/Zombie/Tuner/0/0). By decreasing 1000 attack points from a T.G. monster on my field, I can special summon this card from my hands." A zombie like bionic creature filled with gears appeared to the field. With this, the green android was weakened (1700).
"… Another new card?" the Japanese asked.
"Yep. I now summon T.G. Drill Fish (Level 1/Water/Fish/Effect/0/800)" Subaru cried as he summoned the monster. A red and green-scaled fish with a gold drill appeared to the field. "With this, I construct forth an overlay network for an Xyz Summon!" A large portal appeared and the three Level 1 monsters turned into wisps and entered the portal. "With these three monsters, I bring forth T.G. Unknown Mimic (Rank 1/Earth/Warrior/Xyz/Effect/?/?)"
A black android rose from the portal along with three wisps circling around it. The android was crystal clear and black. It was around Subaru's height and appeared plain.
"Huh? Nani sore (What is that?)" Yuri bewildered at the sight of the monster.
"T.G. Unknown Mimic. This monster is one of my new cards. He has two effects, but I'll proceed slowly. Here's the first effect, I can remove one Xyz material from this card to gain this effect: I can banish one Synchro monster from my graveyard that has the name T.G. in its name. This card can be treated as the banished monster until my next standby phase. In other words, this monster can be treated as the banished monster's name, level, attribute, type, attack, defense, and effect." Subaru explained.
"NANI (WHAT)!"
The audiences too were surprised to see the effect in person. They watched as one of the wisps absorbed into the crystal android and watched as it transformed into the colossal android. Unlike the original, this one is made of crystals (Level 12/Earth/Machine/Effect/3400/4000).
"I'm not finished. I now play the effect of T.G. Blade Gunner. Once per turn, I can remove from play one T.G. monster in my graveyard along with this card." Subaru pocketed a card away and the green android disappeared (A/N: I know the effect of Blade Gunner very well. So you don't have to remind me. The T.G. archetype Subaru uses is an enhanced version). "If I play this effect, Blade Gunner will return during the next standby phase. But, why wait when I can play this effect." This got everyone's attention again. "I play the effect of T.G. Unknown Mimic. By removing one Xyz material from this card, I can special summon one banished Synchro monster with T.G. in it's name to my field. With this effect, I special summon T.G. Blade Gunner (Level 10/Earth/Machine/Synchro/Effect/2700/2200)."
"Mazui… (Oh crap…)"
Again the crowd jaw dropped. The rest of the Top 5s and Yula were impressed by the display.
"Now I proceed with the battle phase, T.G. Blade Gunner, attack Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En! Blade Shoot!" The green android armed with a machine gunblade fired off several barrage at the warrior, who deflect them with his sword. The android finished with firing it's blade at the warrior. The warrior tried to block the blade. However, the force of the attack was too great. It broke through the blade of the warrior's katana and blasted at the warrior.
Yuri – 5500, Temple of the Six – 6
Subaru – 6900
"Now that Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En is downed, Dai Shogun Mizuho's stats return to its former state (2000/1600). Forward, T.G. Unknown Mimic! Attack! Megaton Blaster." The crystal colossal android fired off a crystal stream of lasers at the female warrior. Yuri did the obvious.
"Dai Shogun Mizuho's effect activates! By removing one Xyz material from this card, I can avoid this card from being destroyed." The final wisp was absorbed into the fire tattoo. The warrior braced from the attack. She succeeded but some of the lasers passed through her and hit Yuri.
Yuri – 4100, Temple of the Six – 6
Subaru – 6900
"Good, with this, I end my turn!" Subaru declared.
Yuri huffed and then he clapped. "Subarashii desu (Amazing)," he clapped, "You're as good as you used to be, Subaru. I have lost." Yuri said in a surrender tone.
"…Not yet."
Yuri ceased to a halt, "Nani (What)?"
"True, I might win… but here's the problem. T.G. Unknown Mimic has one negative effect. While this card is on the field and I use its effect in my last turn, until the end of my next turn, I must skip my battle phase." Subaru said passively.
"Ah… naruhodo (I see), I still have a chance." Yuri said as he sighed in relief.
Yuri-dono, yokatta desu ne (Lord Yuri, it is relief, yes)? Yuri's duel spirit asked as she turned to him. Her cold blood red eyes stared into his black orbs.
"Sou desu, Mizuho (That's right Mizuho)." Yuri said to his duel spirit before carrying on. "Tsuzukimasu (Carrying on), Draw!" Yuri pulled his next card and revealed it. Backs to the walls... So everything lies in one last turn… "I set this one final card and end my turn!" Yuri declared.
"… I take it the next turn will be our last." asked Subaru earning a nod from Yuri. "I see… then in that case, I will do this." Subaru draw his card and the crystal colossal android crumbled back to it's former state (Rank 1/Earth/Warrior/Xyz/Effect/?/?) "I activate the trap card TGX3 – DX2! With this card, I return 3 T.G. monsters in my graveyard to my deck and shuffle it. Then I can draw 2 cards." Subaru did as he said. He returned 3 cards back to his deck and wait for it to be auto-shuffled. He pulled 2 new cards. "With my new cards, I play the effect of Burial from a Different Dimension! With this card, I can return up to 3 banished monsters in to their controller's graveyard. With this effect, I return T.G. Halberd Cannon and T.G. Striker to my graveyard." Subaru placed the two cards n his pocket into the graveyard zone. "Now I can play T.G. Unknown Mimic's effect again. With this card's effect, I remove one Xyz material to banish Halberd Cannon and gain it's stats.
The crystal android returns to being the colossal android again (Level 12/Earth/Machine/Effect/3400/4000).
"With this, I end my turn!" Subaru declared as he held two cards in his hand.
"Yoshi, saigo no tatakau, o misete shimasu (Alright, I will show you, the final battle!)" Yuri quipped before commencing his draw. He was glad to have the card in his hand. He then turn to his opponent, "Subaru… it's been a fun duel. I activate the trap card, Backs to the Wall!" Yuri bellowed and gained some attention from the crowd again. "With this card, I pay up all my life points until I have 100 left-"
Yuri – 100, Temple of the Six – 6
Subaru – 6900
There were many emotions running around the audience. Some were shocked at the price. Some were bewildered by the action while others were dully confused.
Yuri continued, "Now with this, I play my final trump card! By the effect of Backs to the Wall, I special summon as many Six Samurai monsters from my graveyard as possible. Also, I cannot special summon more than 1 with the same name! I pick Legendary Six Samurai – Shinai (Level 3/Water/Warrior/Effect/1500/1500), Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho (Level 3/Fire/Warrior/Effect/1600/1000), Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En (Level 5/Dark/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/2500/1400) and Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki (Level 3/Wind/Warrior/Effect/1700/2000)." Four samurais appeared to the field at once and all of them drew their weapon, ready to fight to the bitter end.
Yuri – 100, Temple of the Six – 10
Subaru – 6900
The audiences were shocked to see the display of four monsters summoned at once by one card's effect. They were even more amazed when they see Yuri's strongest monster, Dai Shogun Mizuho gaining several boost (7800/1600).
"Satte… sugi wa… (Now then… the next would be…) Battle!" The Japanese conducted, as he fully knew about Subaru's monsters' effect. "Dai Shogun Mizuho! Ikke (Go), attack T.G. Unknown Mimic (3000/4000) Shinra Bansho!" The female warrior lunged forward and performed several slice and dice on the crystal colossal android. Like the original, the crystal copy shattered into pieces.
Yuri – 100, Temple of the Six – 10
Subaru – 2100
"Ouch…"
"Here's more ouch! Shi En, tsuzukimasu (continue). Denkou Sekka!" Yuri cried and the samurai in red lunged forward for an attack. The samurai dashed forward at the green android (2300/2200) in a blink and instantly sliced the android into half. The android splits and exploded.
Yuri – 100, Temple of the Six – 10
Subaru – 1900
"Halt! At this point, I activate the effect of Tech Genus Metal Skeleton (Level 2/Dark/Fiend/Effect/100/0) on my hand. When a monster on the field is destroyed, I can special summon this card from my hand to my field." Subaru quickly called his defense. As he did, a bionic skeletal like creature appeared to the field. It stayed in defense position.
"Ho… more defense. Still, I have three attacks left! Legendary Six Samurai – Shinai, attack! Suiren!" the samurai clad in blue charged forward and stuck the skeletal fiend on Subaru's field.
"Not yet! I still have one more! I special summon my second Tech Genus Metal Skeleton (Level 2/Dark/Fiend/Effect/100/0) to the field!" Subaru declared.
"Ara, taihenda (Oh my, this is bad)…" Yuri had not seen this outcome. He sighed and continued with his battle. "I carry on! Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho, attack! Mai Suzaku!" The female samurai clad in red attacked with a cross slash. This sliced through the fiendish skeleton into four.
"I'm all out of credits!" Subaru declared.
"Yoroshi, dewa saigo desu (Glad, now the final attack)! Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki! Shi no kata!" the samurai clad in yellow raised his four swords and struck down towards Subaru in four consecutive slashes.
Yuri – 100, Temple of the Six – 10
Subaru – 200
"Haa… I set one card and end my turn… should have not remove Legendary Ebon Steed." Yuri said in a low regretful tone.
"Alright, during the end phase, I activate the effect of T.G. Metal Skeleton! When this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can search my deck for a monster with T.G. in its name. However, that monster cannot be the same as the destroyed one. With the first's effect, I add T.G. Striker and T.G. Drill Fish for my second." Subaru added the cards to his hand. "And since it's already the end of your turn, it will be my turn. I draw." Subaru pulled his next card and revealed it. His calculative expression failed him as he sees the new card.
"… Matte (Wait)! I activate Drop Off! With this card, you discard the card you have drawn during your draw phase." Yuri declared as he saw the change in his rival's face. Subaru raised his eyes in shock. He did it… willingly, to Yuri's surprise.
"Yuri… thank you. Had you not discard that card, I would have lost the duel," Subaru quoted, instantly sending Yuri to high alert. "Now… the duel ends. From my hand, I special summon T.G. Striker (Level 2/Earth/Warrior/Effect/0/0)" A bionic warrior appeared to the field. "When I control no monsters while my opponent do, I can special summon this card from my hand. Next I summon T.G. Drill Fish (Level 1/Water/Fish/Effect/0/800)!" A fish with a gold drill appeared to the field.
"…Matte, it's still not enough!" Yuri reminded. "Soreni shitemo (On the other hand), since you have used Unknown Mimic's effect, you shouldn't have been able to attack."
"I know, but my rival, T.G. Unknown Mimic's cost can only be applied while it is on the field and since it is no longer, I can conduct my battle phase. Now on to the power problem, I still have one more trump card to play! From my graveyard, I activate the effect of T.G. Telekinetic Priest (Level 5/Light/Psychic/Tuner/0/0)! When this card is in my graveyard, I can remove this card from play to gain this effect: I can banish 1 spell card with TG in it's name from my deck or graveyard. This card gains the effect of that card. In other words, I banish this card along with one spell card. This card gains the spell card's effect but is not treated as a spell card." Subaru announced surprising his rival and the audiences. "With this effect, I banish TGX1-HL! The effect of this card is, half a T.G. monster's attack and defense points. I can destroy one spell or trap card on the field!"
"SHIMATTA (SHOOT)!" Yuri gasped as he watched a laser drained the bionic warrior's stats (although 0) and fired off at the temple. The temple crumbled behind Yuri and thus restoring Striker (400/0) and Drill Fish (100/800) stats. "Matte! Even with all your monsters returned stat, you still lack power."
"I don't need power. I need decisive tactics. T.G. Drill Fish has the effect to direct attack if I control another T.G. monster." Subaru explained, earning several gasp and astonishments. "This is End Game! LIGHTS OUT! T.G. Drill Fish! Direct Attack!" The fish swarm through the samurais and plunged its drill into Yuri, who lowered his duel disk accepting his defeat like an honorable samurai committing seppuku.
Yuri – 0 LOSE
Subaru – 200 WIN
"My 23rd win… now we are equal." Subaru said reminiscing all the other 45 duels he had with his rival. Now that he had won the 46th duel, he and Yuri are on equal grounds again. "1 more duel… one more… then we settle our score…" Yuri nodded at his rival and offered a handshake. To others, this handshake was only a friendly handshake between friends and rivals. But to Subaru and Yuri, this handshake is the declaration of war; a war that indicated one shall dominate the other. The handshake also indicated that they will not hold back and go all out.
The climax of the duel and the handshake earned the audiences applause. Subaru and Yuri turned around to see the crowd of students and old friends cheering and applauding. Yula, the Positions siblings and Rico too applauded at the rivals.
… This is the best reunion ever. Thought the Hyakuya elder.

Dai Shogun Mizuho (Great Shogun Mizuho)
Rank 3
Fire
Warrior/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 2000
DEF: 1600
Description:
Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho and Hand of the Six Samurai
While this card is face-up on the field, card effects cannot destroy "Six Samurai" and "Shien" monsters you control. Also, this card gain attack points equal to the original attack point of all Six Samurai monsters you control. You can remove 1 Xyz Material from this card to negate the destruction of this card.
Artwork: A woman with straight long black hair with her back facing the portrait. She spins anti-clockwise with crescent bladed sword in her hand. Part of her face is facing the portrait, revealing red facial markings down to the back of her neck, cold red eyes and a flame symbol. She wears red armor with gold trim similar to Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En but with no wings. The background is a full moon.
Personal Opinion: Hey, the effect is a bit overpowered, but still I can't help it. I like the artwork of Mizuho and her hair somehow reminds me of Oichi from Sengoku Basara. In any case, I though I make her… a bit revealing, as in her hair because in my opinion, I think she covers her beauty a lot (my opinion) and the only time when she reveal her hair is when she is having a pilgrimage (Asceticism of the Six Samurai). My opinion, ignore it if you want.

Artwork: A plain crystal like android that has a mechanical core on its left chest. It appeared human but in form of crystal. Half of its body takes the shape of a T.G. Striker while the other is plain. The background consist of several whirls bending with each other.
Personal Opinion: I tried to equalize the strength of this card as well as the summoning condition of this card. At first, I came up with the idea of slime… but since the T.G. archetype is bionicle like, I might as well though of transforming crystals. I know it don't make sense but it worth a shot.

Personal Opinion: I originally come up with Telepathic Priestess but shot down the idea. Not sure why but just did.
End Original Card Review
AHEM, I want to say Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope you enjoy the chapter and pardon me on the sad flashback. But hey, that flashback is not an unhappy one you know what I mean. Also, take this holiday and visit your parents in your hometown or old friends. Most Malaysians do during the holidays.
On another note, I had shown you some mild examples of how Malaysians speak. REMEMBER, not all Malaysians speak like that. Only some but not all. I have more, but that will be in later chapters.
Also, the next chapter, we introduce a few new OCs as well as returning to Soma and Clare.
One last thing: I'm sorry for adding a lesbian in the fiction. I just find it fun and irresistible. Saya will play a major role in the future chapters.
AGAIN, Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year!
