Vyser D: Before we begin this chapter, I'd like to take a moment to thank a good friend of mine for allowing me to use some of the cards that are going to appear in this chapter.
I'd also like to wish everyone a happy new year and hoped that the holiday season was good for them as it was for me.
But anyway, TwilightDuelist thanks for allowing me to use these cards and I apologize in advance if the descriptions aren't as good as yours.
Enjoy!

Many years ago, I was appointed to the head of this fine academy by my predecessor, of course, in my old age, I can't remember his name…
…however, he was a great sensei of mine, and I knew him extremely well…which is weird how I don't remember his name.
But, what I do remember are the lessons that he taught me, both in a few lessons in life and in my duel monster strategies.
You see, before I joined an old team with Kurro, I was a part of an ancient training school that was known as the Cyber Style Duel…and although I wasn't the best duelist in the dojo…I slacked off with training…
…I often disrespected the master…
…and to make matters worse…I ran away before I graduate to join the nearby league's all star team.
Even though I still did that, my sensei saw the potential I had inside, and offered me the position that was usurped under my nose by one of my colleges in the All Star team I mentioned only a few moments ago.
But I stand before you, not as headmaster…not as a disciple of the Cyber Style Duel…not even a man with lost pride…
…I just stand before you all as a duelist. Plain and simple, I realize that, but sometimes…the simple are the best.
The person I stand across…well, it's hard to look her in the eye…and I'll leave it at that…but, I'll say this, her strategy is vastly unique in the ways of traditional dueling.
So, allow me to introduce to you…the Cyber Myth Style Duel!

Throwing his chain towards the large fisted Enforcer, the Justified Enforcer stepped to the side and grabbed onto the chain. Then with a mighty pull, the Justified Enforcer swept the Clay Chain Soldier into its mighty fist…
…but like with the other clay monsters, Vergil's life points were spared while Chinto's weren't as lucky. "Heh…oh well…at least you failed at your calculations four-eyes…" (CLP: 700)
"I thought I told you to stop calling me that," Vergil stated as his graveyard began to glow as many chains began to erupt from the ground in front of him. "And my calculations aren't wrong. My Clay Chain Soldier allows me to special summon another clay monster from my graveyard."
Being pulled up by the chains, the large fisted Clay Tekagi Soldier (1400/0) appeared on the field, shattering the many chains into the broken links. "And this is the end! Clay Tekagi Soldier! Attack Justified Enforcer!"
Both large fisted warriors charged towards each other, time slowly down as both duelists glared at each other…
But immediately, the large mechanical fist slammed directly into the Clay Tekagi Soldier's face, shattering the monster into clay shards that flew directly Chinto's body. The force of the attacks made Chinto snarl loudly before force of Vergil's trap and monster effect began to take effect. "NO! I-I refuse to lose to you four-eyes!"
"You don't have a choice in the matter!" Vergil shouted as a large clay fist erupted from the ground and slammed into Chinto's body, forcing him to fly back into his Justified Enforcer, shattering the hologram as the other holograms began to disappear. (CLP: 0)
From the stands, Garu threw his fist up into the air while everyone else nearby in the stands cheered loudly. "HA! WAY TO GO VERGIL!"
"Yeah!" Yae shouted.
"Way to represent the academy!" Daigo roared lifting his hands up in a fighting stance.
"…at least he didn't screw up," Cain muttered making everyone sweatdrop at his commented.
"…Cain, at least try to be nice," Kazica sighed shaking her head while Ami appeared behind Cain.
"Brother…" Ami growled putting her smaller, older brother in a headlock. "Learn to nicer!"
Garu's eyes widened at the sight of Ami nearly choking her tiny brother, but then he turned towards the two siblings and began cheering loudly. "Yeah! Take him down Ami!"
"Garu…" Yae moaned lowering her head at her friend's behavior. "Grow up…"

Chinto and Zaku were in their own little dark worlds now, having been beaten by kids who were younger than themselves…
Tao on the other hand, he was lighter than air at the current moment, enjoying the fact that he was the only one so far winning…
While Natalie just slowly began to shuffle her deck, knowing that in a few minutes, she would be dueling against a brat as well. And unlike Chinto and Zaku…she wasn't planning on losing.
Speaking of opponents…
"Well, Kurro…more than likely you realize where this is going right?" Daigo asked crossing his arms with a large smirk towards his past teammate.
"…laugh all you want now Daigo…" Kurro muttered rubbing the bridge of his nose. "But…just remember, these matches are just to determine if the duelists here are even worth my time…so far, I must admit, there are several gems in a pile of…"
"Shut your bloody yap," Daigo snarled grabbing Kurro by the collar and lifting the older man up. "Don't disrespect the students here!"
With a small smile appearing on his face, Kurro merely brought his cane up to Daigo's wrist, causing the former headmaster to release Kurro. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the older man jumped back slightly with a dark smile on his face, all the while adjusting his collar to a more presentable manner. "My…did I strike a nerve here?"
"You never showed anyone respect," Daigo growled rubbing his wrist before pointing an accusing finger at Kurro who merely dusted off his shoulder. "Neither to me, the other members of our team, your own team…and her…"
"…all merely tools, my old foolish friend," Kurro chuckled spinning his cane in his hands a few times before snapping it at the ground. "She's long gone, and you're the only remainder of that misery that I call a past…"
"…what happened to you Kurro?" Daigo asked lowering his arms to his sides, a sadden look on his face.
Turning his head slightly to the side, Kurro sighed loudly. "…we've still got one more match…And I'd like if you face my last duelist. I know for a fact that you're using that old dusty thing you call a deck…"
Daigo's eyes widened as he immediately felt his pocket, finger his true deck that he brought out. He was actually hoping to face Kurro with it…but…
"…then I know that you would never last more than five turns against me…"
Straightening up, Daigo shot Kurro an icy cold glare that could make anyone freeze in their tracks. "…very well Kurro…I shall duel next…"
"Excellent…" Kurro replied combing his hair back with his free hand before walking away. "I shall inform Natalie at once…"
"Just one question Kurro!" Daigo asked making Kurro halt in his tracks. "If its not me you're wanting to face…then who is it?"
"… …" Kurro merely turned around with a small dark smile on his face…as if he was drunk on power. "Not who…whom…"

"I'm glad to see that you listen to orders…" Lucian sighed in delight at the sight of Fomalhaut, Talo and Densui simply sitting at the large table, all of them playing a small game of poker. "…but, where's Saint Envy?"
"Aah…she had to go readjust her make up or something," Densui answered slapping his cards on the field with nothing good in it. "Hell, I don't know…"
"…if you paid attention even a little bit," Talo sighed turning his head around to show a full house with three queens and a pair of tens. "You'd know that she had a prior engagement concerning her group."
"I find it to be just annoying," Fomalhaut growled flipping his hand to reveal a Royal Straight Flush of the Club cards, instantly making Talo and Densui slam their heads on the table. "Much like how people think that they can win against me…"
"So…anyway, Lucian, I can assume that your experiment is ready, right?" Talo asked leaning back in his seat while slamming his feet on top of the table.
"Actually, no…" Lucian replied getting weird looks from all three of the members of the Saints of Sin. "…what's with those looks?"
"…you're not usually someone to leave something undone…" Fomalhaut responded with a bewildered look on his face. "You usually continue till you're done with everything…"
"Yes…well, I had a little interruption," Lucian answered sitting at the table, allowing his cloak to cover the chair slightly along with a small portion of the table. "I just got some information from Saint Gluttony…"
"Great…just what we need," Densui growled slapping his forehead. "…a fat ass on the team…"
"Fat ass? Please, don't always rely on the stereotypes," a suave voice cooed slightly getting everyone's (with the exception of Lucian) attention to the entrance of the small reading area.
Standing at the entrance, stood a mysterious shadowed figure, slim and allowing his long fancy coat to flow over his slim body. As he stepped towards the table, Fomalhaut, Talo, and Densui were struck dumb at the mere sight of this character. "…yes, I realize I'm gorgeous…but try to keep your jaws from falling to the ground."
"…and here I thought I was prideful," Fomalhaut muttered shaking off the fact that the mysterious figure had a few white sparkles around his head. "…and what the hell are those things?"
"I'd think that it'd be obvious to for someone to recognize sparkles," Densui snickered shaking his head before taking the gourd once more to take a swig from the weird container.
"True…but, I kinda think that it's a little shameful that a dead drunk was able to see that rather than a homicidal duelist," The Saint of Gluttony remarked, getting a few death glares from both Fomalhaut and Densui.
"What was that, pretty boy?"
"You mind running by me again?"
"Nice comeback!" Talo applauded now the target for the many glares.
"But now then…we just need to wait…" Lucian interrupted getting everyone's attention drawn to him. "As soon as Kurro's little venture is done and over with…well…we can begin…"
"Excellent!" Talo chuckled with bright smile on his face.
" 'bout time…" Densui growled before taking a large gulp from his gourd.
"It just seems like a waste of time to me…" Fomalhaut snarled covering himself up with his newspaper.
"Ooh! Then I can finally find that kawaii little…" Saint Gluttony cooed with wiggling hips and with his hands clasped together with more white sparkles ejecting from his body.
"No one wants to here that," Lucian stopped Saint Gluttony from continuing to create the weird sparkles.
"Hmph, I should've expected that when my colleges would be a bunch of froogle stiffs…" Saint Gluttony sighed pouting slightly.

"…oh…this simply won't do…" Natalie sighed as she handed her deck to Daigo, as he did the same.
"Are you worried that I won't provide a challenge?" Daigo asked shuffling Natalie's cards while raising an eyebrow at the young, finely dressed woman.
"Huh? Well, I didn't consider that a problem…" Natalie trailed off lifting Daigo's slightly shuffled deck up to him. "…it's just…"
"It's just…what?" Daigo asked snapping his deck into his activated duel disk while Natalie did the same.
With a depressed look on her face, Natalie slowly sulked backwards to her end of the dueling platform. Then raising her head up, Natalie displayed the few tears that were streaming down her face. "…I wanted to face a cutie as well!"
"A…A cutie?" Daigo almost fell off the platform with that answer, and his deck almost poured out as well.
"I mean! Look at the duels thus far!" Natalie pouted pointing her fingers together. "Zaku got that tough guy chibi; Chinto got the handsome fancy guy…heck, even Ashton got to face that blue haired underdog! And what do I get? I was expecting the dashing Kaiser…but no!"
"I get an old fart!"
"O-old?!?" Daigo gasped taking a step backwards from Natalie's answer…
"Well…" Natalie sighed pulling her first five cards from her deck. "We might as well get this over with…you crusty old codger…"
"I'll have you know I'm only fifty-six years old!" Daigo shouted snapping his first five cards off from the top.
"Duel!"
"Now then, since youth and beauty on my side," Natalie sighed slowly pulling her sixth card into her hand. "I'll start off…with only a set monster…and that's all old man…"
"Didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders?" Daigo asked drawing while keeping his eyes on the field. Then with a quick peek at his hand, Daigo's eyes flashed slightly. "Tell me…Miss Natalie, was it?"
Getting a nod from his lovely opponent, Daigo smirked. "Tell me…what do you know of Mythology?"
"…You mean like Homer's Odyssey?" Natalie asked tilting her head to the side, making Daigo blink a few times.
He honestly didn't expect her to know that answer. "Well…yeah…but, I'm talking even more about mythology, specifically the creatures…I summon Cyber Minotaur!"
In a bright flash of light, a rather large creature that resembled that of the legendary Minotaur monster leapt onto the field, lifting up a large metallic hammer. There was something off about the monster though…its entire body was made of a futuristic white metal that gleamed in the light (1800/1300 + 200/0).
In the stands…
"Whoa! That's a sweet monster!" Garu shouted standing up placing his hands on Cain's head as he leaned forward.
"…does anyone want to get him off of me?" Cain growled with a large blood vessel on the side of his head.
No one seemed listen to Cain, who in response tapped his finger on his arm. "…Alright then…"
"AHH!"
No one seemed to pay attention when Cain began to slap Garu upside his head with his haisen a few times…in fact they were engrossed with their own little conversation…
"Well…that's a surprise," Vergil muttered while rubbing his chin. "I didn't think that Daigo used a Cyber Myth Deck…"
"Okay, I've heard of a Cyber Dragon deck," Ami questioned turning back to see a smiling Kazica. "…but what's a Cyber Myth deck?"
"I can answer that one!" Kazica announced raising her hand up getting everyone's attention. "You see…The Cyber Dragon deck was invented a few years ago, giving rush duelists a new chance to improve their strategies. Mostly using the OTK style, Pegasus decided to base another strategy that would more than likely be able to improve upon the small number of Cyber monsters that were made."
"These cards would allow a Cyber Duelist to be able to last longer in the duel if they should happen to fail in their OTK strategy. Even I have a few of these Cyber Myth monsters…maybe I should ask Daigo to train me…"
"But what I don't get," Yae questioned turning back to see Garu try to pull the haisen from Cain's hands. "Is how Garu got excited seeing that monster."
"…Has Garu ever faced a machine duelist before?" Kazica asked.
Back with the duel…
"…now…you may be wondering how my monster's attack increased, right?" Daigo asked wagging his finger towards his large cyber beast.
"Actually, it's due to the number of monsters I have on the field," Natalie replied, making Daigo's eyebrows widen once more. "I happen to know more about duel monsters than what my appearance lets on…"
"Um…right," Daigo coughed before raising his hand up towards his large cyber beast. "Now then…its hammer time!"
A cold breeze swept through the entire arena, even the Cyber Minotaur turned back to his master and shook his head in a disappointed manner. "Alright fine…Yeesh, is it illegal to try to bring back old sayings?"
"…you're not the kind of guy to do that," Natalie sighed wagging her finger.
"Cyber Minotaur! Cyber Hammer!" Daigo shouted as his Cyber Minotaur charged towards the face down monster, lifting its large hammer into the air.
Then with a powerful slam, the Cyber Minotaur forced the powerful hammer into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that flipped the face down card into the air, revealing a small brunette nurse fairy. However, the fairy was immediately thrown into the distance due to the fast force of the hammer.
"Hmm…that wasn't smart…" Natalie sighed as she pulled her deck out and fanned the many cards in front of her. "You see that face down monster was Injection Fairy Trainee. And when she's destroyed as a result of battle, I can summon one level three or lower Injection Fairy from my deck…"
In a flurry of hearts a cute pink haired nurse appeared on the field wearing a white nurses' uniform with a red trim. On top of her hair was a small nurses' cap with a heart on it. Then with a wink, the small angel like nurse lifted up a large syringe (400/1500) that was aimed towards the Cyber Minotaur.
Daigo could only blink a few times in confusion at the sight of the nurse like monster…and soon a small blush crept onto his face but he immediately lifted his cards up to cover the blush. "Uh…I'll end with two cards face down…"
"Oh…heh," Natalie chuckled playfully tugging at her next card before drawing it. "Looks like the old man has a dirty little secret…"
"Uh…just make your turn," Daigo coughed turning his head up. 'For some reason…she reminds me of someone…'
"Very well…" Natalie giggled fingering her next card. "Now then…I think I'll summon, Injection Fairy Blossom!"
In a second flurry of hearts, another nurse fairy appeared on the field next to Lily. This one a cute, little, nurse fairy wearing a tight white nurse's outfit with a red trim, while having a pair of glasses over her lime green eyes. On her semi long blonde hair was a nurse's carp with a heart on it. In her hands are many different medical tools that she held up proudly (400/1500).
"…I didn't realize that there were more Injection Fairies," Daigo responded dully while trying to keep his eyes off of the new nurse fairy.
"You should never take your eyes off your opponent," Natalie warned lifting up her fancy pink duel disk, showing that her life point counter was beginning to drop. "Even against an opponent as cute as me! I activate Injection Fairy Blossom's special ability! By paying one thousand life points, I can destroy two face down cards…" (NLP: 7000)
The many surgical equipment that was in Blossom's hands were immediately thrown into both of Daigo's face down cards, shattering them into pixels that were thrown back into Daigo's body. Slapping away a few pixels Daigo lifted his hand up to his Cyber Minotaur (2200/1300). "True…but with another monster, my monster gains another…"
"Like that matters," Natalie sighed snapping her fingers as Injection Fairy Lily lifted the syringe up towards the Cyber Minotaur. "I don't think I have to tell you this…but my Lily still has her special ability…"
Immediately, a powerful pink light engulfed the syringe, making it grow exponentially as she struggled to keep it in her arms (400/1500 + 3000/0). And with small cute battle cry, a powerful pink ray of light pierced directly through the Cyber Minotaur, causing the machine to break down into many parts. (NLP: 5000) (DLP: 6800)
"That move cost you more life points than it did me," Daigo pointed out before Blossom appeared directly in front of him. "Huh?"
"Who ever said I was done, old man?" Natalie asked before Blossom kissed Daigo on the chin, making the old man have a small nose bleed. "I, of course, attack with Blossom…" (DLP: 6400)
"…I've never seen an attack like that before," Daigo admitted wiping the blood from his nose.
"I like to be unique for my foes," Natalie answered fingering her five card hand, and then selecting two of them to fit into her duel disk. "But…anyway, I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."
"…okay, my draw!" Daigo announced snapping his newly drawn card into his hand, then lifting his next card, Daigo immediately slapped the card onto his duel disk. "I summon Cyber Pegasus!"
Gliding from above, a silver plated winged horse landed gracefully on the platform neighing in a cold, metallic fashion (900/1400). Natalie couldn't help but stare at the majestic, cyber beast. "Wow…that's quite a beast you've got there…"
"Thanks…but you haven't seen the best part yet!" Daigo announced shaking his head slightly. "My Pegasus can attack you directly! So, Cyber Pegasus! Attack with Diamond Wind!"
Leaping into the air, the majestic cyber beast flapped its mighty wings a few times, making a large shower of diamond like objects to rain down on Natalie, causing her to gasp in surprise and wince in pain. "Hey!" (NLP: 4100)
Then, much to Natalie's surprise, the Cyber Pegasus landed on top of her right face down card, shattering it due to the machine's weight. Then as the mythical cyber monster flew back to Daigo's field, Natalie blinked a few times at the sight. "What the?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention that my Pegasus can destroy a spell or trap card when it inflicts battle damage to your life points," Daigo answered looking down at his hand. "And to end my turn…I'll set one card face down…"
"Not before I activate my other face down," Natalie interjected lifting her hand up over her face down card, revealing a young woman dancing in the rain. "My Solemn Wishes trap card!"
"Well…I should've expected that," Daigo muttered as Natalie drew once more, only this time to be engulfed in a bright showering light. (NLP: 4600)
"Hmm…I think I'll play the spell card, Nurse's Charm!" Natalie playfully announced as her spell card appeared, showing a young purple haired nurse fairy blushing madly as many famous male monsters starring at her. "Now…by simply paying another thousand life points, I can special summon another Injection Fairy from my deck…" (NLP: 3600)
"And choose Injection Fairy Violet!"
In another flurry of hearts, a third Injection Fairy appeared on the field, trying to hide behind the other two Injection Fairies. Then with a playful shove from the other two fairies, a very cute nurse fairy wearing a baggy nurse's outfit with a red trim stumbled out onto the field with a large blush on her face. On her short purple hair that covered her eyes, was a large nurse's cap with a heart on it. Carrying in her arms was a small syringe (at least in comparison to Lily's syringe) that she raised to draw attention away from herself (400/1500).
"And now…for a repeat of last turn…" Natalie started raising her hand into the air.
"Trap card go!" Daigo shouted, actually sounding like a roaring lion. "Threatening Roar makes it so you cannot declare an attack this turn!"
"Hmph…very well," Natalie sighed looking over her quite large hand. "I'll set two cards face down, then its back to you, you old man."
"I'll show you what this old man can do," Daigo muttered snapping his next card in a furious motion.
"Ah, no thanks," Natalie moaned waving her arms in front of her face.
"NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Daigo shouted taking another card of his and fitting it into his graveyard. "I discard one card…in order to summon this!"
A powerful wave of blue light swept over the duelist platform, almost as if it was an actual wave of water. From the water emerged a large cybernetic beast that resembled the Cyber Dragon, but that resembled that of a snake with four legs before the tail. The cybernetic monster's hiss resembled that of gears turning (2100/1500).
"W-What is that?!?" Natalie gasped as all three of her Injection Fairies cowered back at the new monster's presence.
"This is the Cyber Hydra!" Daigo announced throwing his arm up towards his Cyber Pegasus. "But enough of that for now! Cyber Pegasus! Attack her directly!"
With another neigh, another flurry of diamonds showered down onto Natalie and the Cyber Pegasus made an aim towards the face down card to the right. (NLP: 2700)
But Natalie was faster. "I chain your Pegasus's attack with my face down trap, Gift of the Mystical Elf! For each monster on the field, I gain three hundred life points!" (NLP: 3900)
"Oh well…those points will be gone in a second!" Daigo shouted lifting his hand up to his Cyber Hydra, making it charge up a powerful blue beam of light in its large mouth. "Cyber Hydra! Attack her Injection Fairy Blossom with Hydra Burst!"
Unleashing the powerful blue beam of energy from its mouth, the Cyber Hydra reeled backwards from the force that was sent towards the panicking Blossom.
"Don't worry! Trap card, Draining Shield!" Natalie countered as a powerful green barrier appeared around her and her three Injection Fairies, shielding them from the powerful Hydra Burst. "Sorry…but my trap negates your attack and increases my life points by your monster's attack points…" (NLP: 6000)
"…I guess I should've targeted your other face down card then," Daigo admitted rubbing the back of his head.
"Yep! Unfortunate for you," Natalie sighed looking at her small hand. 'Especially since I'm more than ready to end this duel at this moment…'
"I suppose the last thing I can do this turn, is set one card face down," Daigo admitted fitting the card into his duel disk, creating the set card behind his Cyber Hydra. "That's all for me…"
"You mean…that's all for this duel," Natalie chuckled drawing her next card, allowing the light to rain down on her body. "You see…each of my Injection Fairies are apart of a medical team as you no doubt can tell…" (NLP: 6500)
"…well, they look more like sisters if you ask me," Daigo replied tilting his head to the side looking at all three of the Injection Fairies, and even his gaze made Violet duck behind Lily and Blossom. 'Whatever happened to the shy girls, anyway?'
"You're right as well, these three are sisters," Natalie continued moving some of her hair from her eyes. "But, when all three are on the field, they make the ultimate team! I activate the spell card, Patient's Miraculous Come Thru!"
Natalie's newest spell card emerged onto the field, showing a blonde haired man with many bloody cuts and bruises being treated by Injection Fairy Lily, Blossom and Violet. From the spell card, all three of the Injection Fairies threw their medical equipment into the air, fusing them together into one extremely large syringe that all three of them floated around. "This spell can only be activated when I have all three of my Injection Fairies on the field, and allows me to special summon Injection Fairy Med Staff!"
"Um, okay…" Daigo gulped at the sight of the three combined monsters.
"And now…my monster's effect kicks in," Natalie announced as many lights began to float up from her duel disk and into her three in one monster. "When summoned, I have to pay life point to make up my monster's attack and defense points…but the max is five thousand points…so I'll pay four thousand points for their attack and defense points!"
The syringe in between all three of the Injection Fairies began to glow a bright pink, increasing that attack and defense strength of the three in one monster (4000/4000), putting smiles on all three of the Injection Fairies' faces. "And now…Attack Cyber Pegasus!" (NLP: 2500)
With three loud battle cries, the three Injection Fairies focused the energy they had into the syringe, and then immediately shot the powerful blast into the emotionless Cyber Pegasus, shattering the monster into scrap metal and focusing the remaining force of the attack into Daigo, making him skid almost to the edge of the duel platform. "URGH!" (DLP: 3300)
"And now…I activate my spell card Battle Drain!" Natalie announced as a powerful pink aura appeared around her duel disk, making her life points increase immediately. "My spell card allows me to gain life points equal to half of the amount of damage you just took!" (NLP: 5600)
"Neat trick…but I've got one as well!" Daigo announced throwing his arm over his face down trap, showing a large garage with the Cyber Dragon being upgraded inside. "I activate the trap card, Cyber Garage! When a Cyber monster is destroyed as a result of battle and I take battle damage, I can summon a monster equal to the damage I took!"
From the shattering trap card, a second Cyber Hydra (2100/1500) roared onto the field next to the original one. "I think it's kinda obvious what I chose…"
"Eh, those things are just ugly," Natalie sighed shaking her head at the large metallic mythical monsters.
"You shouldn't judge people…or monsters…by their appearances," Daigo warned crossing his arms over his chest. "After all, your monsters may be cute and seem weak, but they seem to be some of the most dangerous cards I've seen in the recent years…"
While the small conversation between the two duelists began to get heated up, in the stands where Kurro's duelists sat, the man himself, Kurro slowly reached into his pocket to pull out a rather large deck of cards. Slowly, the old man shifted through. "Hmm… which cards will work…"
"What ya doing boss?" Tao asked tilting his head to the side while peering over his boss's shoulder. "You seem to working on…"
"My deck…" Kurro answered bluntly…
Back to the duel…
"Draw!" Daigo announced nearly ripping his next card into his hand. "I activate the spell card, Pot of Greed! Allowing me to draw two more cards from my deck!"
"…that's got to be a lucky draw for ya," Natalie sighed twirling her hair in her fingers.
"True…and this is even luckier!" Daigo shouted lifting both of the cards he just drew. "I activate the spell card, Power Bond! This spell card allows me to fuse the two Cyber Hydras on the field with the third one in my hand into…"
A powerful bolt of electricity slammed into the ground, engulfing the two Cyber Hydras into a static light. When the light died down, a large rumble shook the entire platform scaring Natalie and all three of the Injection Fairies.
"TRIAD-CYBER HYDRA!"
What stood before Daigo was a massive cybernetic creature, with a larger body of the Cyber Hydra that seemed to crackle with electricity every few seconds. At the beast's torso, three heads that resembled the Cyber Hydra's (only with a few defining features), all three of them roaring loudly at the scared Injection Fairies (3400/2500).
"And since I used Power Bond…" Daigo chuckled as the electricity began to surge around the Triad-Cyber Hydra (6800/2500), making it roar even louder. "My monster's attack doubles!"
"…uh oh…" Natalie gulped as all three of her Injection Fairies hid behind the syringe.
"Triad-Cyber Hydra! Triple Hydro Burst!" Daigo shouted as all three of the heads of the Triad-Cyber Hydra charged up a powerful burst of blue light in each of their mouths…immediately firing all three of the blasts that wrapped into a single blast that eradicated all three of the screaming Injection Fairies. (NLP: 2800)
"AAAH!" Natalie screamed as the shockwave of the powerful attack died down. With just a smoking part of the dueling platform where her Injection Fairies once stood, Natalie's eyes widened at the snarling Triad-Cyber Hydra. "…my-my monsters…"
"Still think I'm nothing more than an old man?" Daigo asked with a smug look on his face.
"Well, you seem to have forgotten on key detail," Natalie giggled with a bright look appearing.
"…and what would that be?" Daigo questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Power Bond's nasty after effect," Natalie answered with her tongue sticking out. "You see…you'll take damage equal to your monster's original attack points at the end of your turn. This happens to be one hundred more points than what you currently have…"
"So that means I'll win as soon as you end your turn!"
However, Daigo merely lifted a card up in his hand to show Natalie, revealing the quick play spell card De-Fusion. At the mere sight of that card, the color in Natalie's face just disappeared and her eyes dulled slightly…
"Care for some last words whippersnapper?" Daigo asked fitting the card into his duel disk, forcing the large Triad-Cyber Hydra to separate into the three original Cyber Hydras (2100/1500 x3) all of them roaring at Natalie.
"Umm…I think your beard is cute?" Natalie tried with an innocent smile and sparkling eyes.
"…nice try," Daigo replied with a mischievous grin on his face as all three of the Cyber Hydras began to lower their heads to Natalie's height. "…but thanks for the compliment! Cyber Hydras! Attack with Hydro Bursts!"
Back in the stands, Kurro couldn't help but smirk as he watched all three of the powerful attacks crash into Natalie…creating a smooth yet surging blue light that bathed the entire arena. "…finally…now I can have a chance…"
