Hey everyone! Well, not much has really happened this week. Let's see, it's rained, thankfully. It was really dry due that it hasn't rained for a few weeks, thus the ground was really turning brown and dusty. Now that it's rained, things have gotten back to normal, which I'm glad for. Other than that, not much happening in life, so I'll move along.
Writing wise, things are moving along, although they're progressing slowly. Not to worry, things will work out, but I just wish I had more time to write. Between working on this story and Another, it's just hard to find time to get one or the other done. But no worries, it'll happen, so hang in there everyone.
There are no reviews since no one posted any, so I guess at that, I'm done. Enjoy!
Chapter 34
Clenching her right fist tightly, Marie glared at Jesse. Flicking a glance to her deck, she eyed it for a moment and finally drew her card. Looking at the new card, she softly smirked. "Check this out, I summon a new monster that no one has seen from my deck yet. Let's give a warm welcome to Dimensional Alchemist (1300/200)."
Slowly materializing onto the field before Marie was a silver armored man in full body armor, with a purple loin cloth on his hips, a purple cape hanging off his shoulders, metal feather like shoulder pads, golden gloves, and an open faced helmet with the visor open.
"Thanks to this monster, I can remove from play the top card on my deck and increase his attack points by 500. I'll do just that now, so here goes (1300 + 500 1800/200)."
Picking up the top card on her deck, Marie placed it directly into her removed from play slot and watched while her monster glowed with a violet aura.
"Take his tiger down a notch now Dimensional Alchemist with Alchemist Burst!"
Holding his hands out before his body, the armored warrior created a sphere of violet and pink colored energy. In a thrusting motion, the warrior flung the sphere straight at the weaker white tiger.
Sneering, Jesse pointed at the oncoming attack and said "Not quite! I activate Amber Mammoth's special ability. When one of my Advanced Crystal Beasts is being attacked, I can redirect the attack towards him instead."
Stepping before the white tiger, the dark gray mammoth took the oncoming sphere of energy head on, making it wail out loud upon impact. After a moment, the blast exploded, taking the mammoth out with it and leaving smoke behind.
"And let's not forget, Amber Mammoth returns as a crystal in my Spell/Trap Zone, plus I use Advanced Dark to negate the damage by sending Advanced Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat (1200/400) to my Grave."
Pulling his deck out, Jesse wordlessly searched through it till he found the right card, and then placed it into his Graveyard Slot. Materializing before him instantly was a rough cut amber colored crystal.
Lightly growling, Marie grunted out "I end my turn (1800 – 500 1300/200)." (Marie 6300, Jesse 8000)
Smirking while drawing, Jesse smugly asked "Marie, haven't you realized you can't beat my Advanced Crystal Beasts yet?"
"I refuse to believe they can't be beaten." Marie angrily spat back.
Darkly chuckling, Jesse smugly replied "Believe what you wish, but I'll prove it. Now then, I begin by summoning Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus (1800/1200) to the field."
Rising up onto the field instantly was a sapphire colored round crystal. The crystal glowed with a black aura for a moment before shattering, revealing a white horse with a black aura surrounding it's body, white wings with orange feathers that had a sapphire colored crystal embedded into each wing, a black horn on it's forehead, and black wrapped near the top of it's hoofs and on the beginning of it's tail.
"With Pegasus out now, I can take an Advanced Crystal Beast from my deck and place it into my Spell/Trap Card Zone."
Pulling his deck out, Jesse slowly searched through it for a moment before selecting a card. A smirk formed on his face as he shuffled his deck back up and replaced it in it's slot. Taking the card he had pulled out, he slid it into one of his Spell/Trap Slots, causing a ruby colored crystal to form before him.
"I just played Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle (300/300), and now, Ruby's effect takes hold, allowing me to special summon each and every Advanced Crystal Beast from my Spell/Trap Slots to the field. So rise up once more Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle and Amber Mammoth (1700/1600)!"
The ruby and amber colored crystals each suddenly glowed with a black aura for a moment before shattering. From the ruby colored crystal, a small blue creature with four pointed ears, ruby colored eyes, a small cat like body, a black collar around it's neck, and a tail with a sphere of ruby on it's tail appeared. Beside of it, the large dark gray mammoth from earlier in the duel reappeared.
"It's time I crushed that weakling of yours. Topaz Tiger, I leave it to you (1600 + 400 2000/1000)!"
Rushing across the field, the white tiger leapt into the air and came crashing down upon the armored warrior. With a swipe of it's claws, the tiger cut through the warrior's armor, making the warrior cry out in pain before shattering into millions of pixels.
Slightly grunting out indignantly, Marie snapped out "You may have taken out my Alchemist, but it's effect kicks in. I'm allowed to return a removed from play card to my hand, so I'll pick the one I sent away when I attacked last turn. Not to mention, Spirit Barrier reduced the Battle Damage to zero."
While Marie pulled the card out of her removed from play slot, Jesse darkly chuckled and replied "That maybe true, but now you have no defense. Bring her down a few pegs Sapphire Pegasus, Amber Mammoth, and Ruby Carbuncle. Direct attack with Sapphire Dark Horn, Tusk Strike, and Ruby Blast!"
Taking flight into the air, the white winged horse let out a whinny and pointed it's horn at directly at Marie. Dark energy built up into the horn till finally a beam of black energy was fired and struck Marie hard, making her grunt out in pain. A moment later, a loud trumpet charge sounded from the dark gray mammoth creature as it charged her. With full force, the mammoth slammed into Marie with it's tusks, sending her flying five feet backwards onto the ground hard with a scream from the pain. Painfully, Marie stood and glared defiantly at Jesse as the small cat like creature leapt into the air and fired a beam of red energy at Marie, making her once more cry out in pain.
"I think that's enough punishment. I end my move for now." (Marie 2500, Jesse 8000)
Clenching her right hand tightly, Marie glared at Jesse across the field. "Damn, he's stronger than I thought. And with Yubel pulling the strings, it'll only get tougher to beat him. But I'm far from done, I know it!
"My draw!" Marie declared while picking up a card. Showing it to Jesse, she said "I activate Graceful Charity. This spell let's me pick up three more cards, but I then need to toss out two."
Grabbing three new cards, she examined the three with the three in her hand already. Picking two, she smirked and placed them into her Graveyard Slot. "I'll toss these two out and then I'll remove from play two Light Attribute monsters. The two I choose are Guardian Angel Joan and Shining Angel."
Holding her hand over her Graveyard Slot, Marie patiently waited as the two cards slowly slid out. Picking them up, she placed them into her removed from play slot and then slapped a monster card to her Duel Disk. "With that done, I can special summon this, my Soul of Purity and Light (2000/1600)!"
An angel like female monster with blonde hair and blue eyes then appeared on the field in a flash of light. She appeared translucent, but was somewhat solid as well. She had powerful looking white wings attached to her back and slightly spread them as she touched down onto the field.
"Next, I summon Majestic Mech – Ohka (2400/1400) to my field!"
A lion like creature made up of red and pink energy with powerful energy wings then roared onto the field. It's tail was made like a pink blade, and a majority of it's body glowed brightly.
Frowning, Jesse asked "How did you summon a level six monster without a sacrifice?"
"Really simple." Marie matter of factly replied. "I can summon Ohka without a sacrifice, but it goes to my Graveyard on the end of my turn. And in the meantime, it's time to repay you for last turn. Soul of Purity and Light, attack Amber Mammoth with Shining Wing Blast!"
Spreading it's wings, the female angel pushed her hands out as a sphere of glowing white energy began forming before her body. Focusing on her target, the angel flung the sphere of energy straight at the weaker gray mammoth, which made no move to avoid the attack. The blast struck the mammoth head on, which let out a trumpeting sound upon being struck and exploding, causing smoke to coat the field.
"You're wasting your energy. The Advanced Dark field spell effect activates." Jesse declared. Pulling his deck out, he sifted through it till he found a certain card and placed it into his Graveyard Slot and smartly said "From my deck, I send Advanced Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) to the Graveyard."
The smoke slowly cleared, revealing a missing mammoth while an amber colored crystal formed before Jesse. "That all you got?" he smartly questioned.
"Not quite, because now you're out of Crystal Beasts, meaning you can't block me." Marie smugly stated. Pointing at the white horse, Marie called out "Crush his Sapphire Pegasus now Fairy Mech Flame!"
Roaring loudly, the lion like creature fired a stream of pink flames straight for the white horse, which whinnied upon being struck and exploding. With the smoke clearing, a sapphire colored crystal was visibly before Jesse, but his life points had fell somewhat.
"And now, I activate the quick play spell Tyrant's Rise! By sacrificing two monsters on my field, I can special summon Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500) from my deck, hand, or Graveyard. At this moment, he happens to be in my deck, but he's about to make his grand entrance!"
Pulling her deck out, Marie searched through it till she found the card she wanted and then slapped it onto her Duel Disk, saying "Rise up Tyrant Dragon!"
Vanishing from the field at the same time were the lion like creature and the translucent like angel. Taking their place a moment later was a large dark orange dragon, with massive wings, powerful claws, sharp fangs, a strange skin hood around it's face, and a strong tail.
"And now, it's your turn to have some fun old friend! Blast that Tiger with Tyrant Flame!"
Letting out a massive roar, the dark orange dragon fired a stream of flames straight at the weaker white tiger. The tiger howled in pain when the flames struck it, causing a massive explosion to ensue while Jesse cried out from the pain of the remaining flames hitting him. The explosion soon cleared out, revealing a slightly panting Jesse with a topaz colored crystal forming before him.
"That it!?" Jesse angrily questioned.
Smirking, Marie shook her head and replied "Not at all! Tyrant Dragon's special ability allows him to attack again if you have another monster on the field after his first attack. Crush his Ruby Carbuncle with Tyrant Flame!"
Roaring loudly once more, the dark orange dragon opened it's jaws again and shot a stream of searing hot flames at the weaker blue cat creature. The small creature let out a shrill cry upon being struck, causing a huge explosion. Jesse's screaming could be heard as well in the background while smoke billowed across the field. Slowly, the smoke cleared, revealing Jesse on one knee while a ruby colored crystal formed before him.
"And I'm not done yet! I reveal the trap Miraculous Descent! Thanks to this, I can special summon a removed from play Fairy Type monster to the field and equip it with this card. So return now Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000)!"
A golden glow formed on the field next to the orange dragon instantly. Appearing out of the glow a moment later was a female angel with pink satin skin, who wore a white dress that showed her many curves and golden wings.
"Joan, direct attack with Golden Wing Burst!"
The pink skinned angel's wings instantly began to glow a bright golden color as energy began building within them. Bolts of energy instantly began pouring off of the wings and into a sphere in front of the pink skinned angel. Slowly, the golden sphere formed and began to glow brightly. Pushing her hands behind the sphere, the angel gave a shove, sending it hurtling towards the Jesse.
The blast from the angel slammed into the ground right before Jesse, causing a large explosion with smoke covering the area. Slowly, the smoke dissipated, revealing an unharmed Jesse with a face up card next to one of his crystals.
"Nice try Marie, but I just activated my trap. It's known as Rainbow Path, which has me sacrifice one of my crystals in order to negate an attack. Plus, I get to transfer a certain card from my deck to my hand." Jesse smugly remarked.
Watching Jesse pull his deck out and search for a card, Marie slightly sighed and mumbled "I should have known you had a backup plan. Oh well, it can't be helped. I set this card and end my turn." (Marie 2500, Jesse 3500)
Drawing a new card, Jesse darkly chuckled and calmly said "That move of yours wasn't bad Marie, but it'll take more than that to defeat me."
"I know that." Marie impatiently snapped back.
"Strike a nerve?" Jesse asked with a smirk. "Not that it matters. Now then, when there are a total of seven Advanced Crystal Beasts either on my field or in my Graveyard, I get summon my Rainbow Dark Dragon (4000/0) to the field in attack mode!"
Glowing with a rainbow coloring, Jesse's Duel Disk's Graveyard shot out four beams of twisted light. The three crystals on his field responded instantly and did the same. The seven beams twisted together in the air and collided together. A blinding rainbow aura flared up, making Marie cover her face for a moment. After a moment, the aura died down, revealing a large black scaled dragon that had a long snake like body, huge black feather wings on the top part, a sharp spike sticking out the top of it's head and off the back of it's head, a pair of wings off the sides of it's head, and golden like pronged wings that didn't move. On the sides of the top part of the dragon were seven jewels, on for each color of the other creatures.
Gasping in shock, Marie took a step backwards, but suddenly felt the voice of her Duel Spirit calling to her, asking "Are you afraid of that dragon Marie? After all we've faced, you surely aren't."
Glancing at the large orange dragon, Marie took a deep breath and returned to where she had stood. Mentally, she replied "You're right, I shouldn't fear that thing. I've faced Egyptian Gods, so why be fearful of that snake."
Sneering at Marie's calm returning, Jesse pointed at her and said "I wouldn't be so calm, because you're about to lose some major life points. Dark Dragon, attack her angel with Dark Rainbow Refraction!"
Roaring loudly, the large black dragon raised it's head and opened it's jaws. A halo of rainbow energy formed before it's mouth and slowly vanished as a beam of rainbow colored energy went racing straight at the pink skinned angel.
"You didn't think I'd leave my Joan out without some kind of defense, did you?" Marie questioned with a taunt. "I activate my trap, Draining Shield! This negates your attack and adds your dragon's attack points to my life points!"
Forming before the pink angel instantly was a golden barrier. The rainbow blast struck the barrier hard for a few moments before finally the dragon finished attacking. At that moment, the golden barrier sent a stream of golden energy straight to Marie's Duel Disk, causing her life point counter to rise drastically.
Growling lowly, Jesse harshly replied "I place a face down to end." (Marie 6500, Jesse 3500)
Wordlessly drawing her card, Marie glanced at it and smirked. Showing it to Jesse, she said "I activate Pot of Greed! This spell let's me pick up two more cards from my deck."
Drawing two cards, she smirked and turned both towards Jesse. "I activate two spell cards, the first being this one, my equip spell known as Mist Body. I'll explain it later, but for now, all you should know is I'm equipping it to my Tyrant Dragon. Next, the second spell I'm playing is another equip spell known called Heavenly Bow, which equips to my Guardian Angel Joan. It's effect now kicks in, cutting Joan's attack points in half (2800 / 2 1400/2000)."
Appearing before the pink skinned angel instantly was a golden bow. Reaching out, the angel took hold of it and pulled back the bow string. In it, a glowing golden energy arrow formed.
"Wait, you're weakening your monster? What kind of plan is that!?" Jesse anxiously asked.
"A great one since Joan can now bypass your monsters and direct attack you!" Marie declared with a wink. "Joan, go hit him with Heavenly Shot!"
Pulling back the arrow further, the pink angel fired the golden energy arrow straight at Jesse, who growled at the oncoming shot.
"I'm not about to take any damage! I activate the trap Rainbow Life! To play it, I must discard a card, which I do." Jesse called out as the arrow struck him in the chest, causing him to cry out in pain. Instead of his life points dropping, they shot upwards.
"Wait, what?" Marie asked in shock. "What happened just now!?"
Darkly chuckling, Jesse smartly replied "Whenever Rainbow Life is activated, all the Battle Damage I'd have taken this turn is added to my life points instead."
Clenching her fist tightly, Marie lowly growled and grunted out "I end." (Marie 6500, Jesse 4900)
"Very well, if that's all you got, then watch this." Jesse declared while drawing a card. "Attack her Joan with Dark Rainbow Refraction!"
Roaring loudly, the black dragon opened it's jaws and fired a beam of rainbow colored energy straight at the pink angel. The blast hit the angel head on, causing a large explosion to ensue. Smoke poured over the field, hiding Marie and her dragon, but it soon cleared, revealing the pink skinned angel still before her, minus her bow.
"What!? Why is that creature still here!?" Jesse bellowed.
Giggling innocently, Marie held up a card and smartly said "Whenever Joan is equipped with Heavenly Bow and she is attacked, instead of her being destroyed, Heavenly Bow goes to the Graveyard. That means that Joan's strength returns also (2800/2000)."
Grinding his teeth, Jesse harshly fired back "Your persistence is annoying me! You're only delaying the inevitable!"
"I don't think so. I'm just prolonging your loss." Marie taunted.
Clenching his right fist tightly, Jesse grabbed a card from his hand and jammed it into one of his Spell/Trap Slots. "Just go!" (Marie 6500, Jesse 4900)
Slowly drawing, Marie examined her new card. "I summon this, The Agent of Wisdom – Mercury (0/1700) in defense."
Materializing onto the field instantly was a green skinned angel with green feathered wings, and strange tattoos on it's shoulders and forehead. The angel wore a blue tunic with white pants, golden wrist bands, golden bands on it's forearms, and held a golden book in it's left hand. Stretching it's wings out, the angel took up a kneeling defense with it's right arm protecting it's body.
"I'll call it a turn now." (Marie 6500, Jesse 4900)
"Good! I draw!" Jesse declared while picking up a card. Examining it, he pointed at his face down card, which rose up quickly to reveal it was a trap. "It's time I got rid of that overgrown lizard of yours. I activate Crystal Raigeki, which has me sacrifice a crystal in order to destroy one card on your field. I'll target your pathetic Tyrant Dragon!"
Vanishing in a flash was the amber colored crystal while the trap card glowed with a dark amber glow. Without warning, an amber colored beam raced across the field and prepared to slam into the dark orange dragon. With only a few feet separating the two, the dark orange dragon roared loudly, dispersing the beam.
"WHAT!?" Jesse howled.
Giggling lightly, Marie coyly said "My dragon has a special ability I forgot to mention. It can't be targeted by traps that directly target it. Sorry, but if you want to destroy my Tyrant Dragon, you'll have to find another way."
"Fine, Rainbow Dark Dragon, crush that dragon! Dark Rainbow Refraction!" Jesse commanded.
Letting out a roar in response, the large dark dragon raised it's head and opened it's jaws. A rainbow halo appeared before the dragon's mouth, but quickly vanished and was replaced by a beam of rainbow energy being fired at the dark orange dragon. The beam struck the dark orange dragon head on, causing a large explosion.
"So much for that thing!" Jesse confidently declared.
Slowly, the explosion vanished, revealing the dark orange dragon was still standing in the same spot it had been in.
"WHAT IS THIS!? WHY DID THAT DRAGON SURVIVE!?" Jesse bellowed angrily.
"Don't you remember the equip spell I played earlier to my dragon?" Marie questioned with a smirk. "I had Mist Body equipped to my dragon, which allows him to survive any battle. I normally take the Battle Damage, but thanks to my Spirit Barrier, I took zero."
"YOU ANNOYING WENCH, HOW DARE YOU!" Yubel's voice declared through Jesse. "I END!" (Marie 6500, Jesse 4900)
Picking up a new card, Marie smirked and said "Since my Mercury was on the field last turn, it's effect kicked in during your End Phase. When I have no cards in my hand, it allows me to draw an extra card during my Standby Phase."
Grabbing another card, Marie examined the two in her hand. "I'll set a monster and then place one face down card. That's it for me." (Marie 6500, Jesse 3900)
"About time wench!" Jesse harshly remarked while drawing a card. "Dragon, crush Marie's pathetic Mercury!"
Roaring loudly, the black dragon fired a stream of rainbow colored energy straight at the green skinned angel. Without warning, a horizontal card moved before the angel, making Jesse gasp in shock.
"What's going on here!?" Jesse's voice demanded with Yubel's mixed in.
Pointing at her now revealed card, Marie calmly replied "I activated my trap, Shift. I redirected your attack from Mercury to my face down card, which is now revealed as Marshmallon (300/500)!"
The horizontal card image instantly vanished, revealing a pink pair shaped like creature with an upside down face. It had two eyes, a smile, and two rosy cheeks. The blast struck the creature, causing a small explosion. The smoke soon cleared, revealing the creature still smiling. Without warning, it raced across the field and opened it's mouth, revealing sharp teeth. It sank them into Jesse's leg, making him scream out in pain and shake the creature off. The small creature instantly returned to Marie's field and smirked at it's actions.
"What did that thing just do!?" Jesse furiously questioned.
Slightly giggling, Marie replied "It just took a bite out of your life points. Whenever it is attacked while in face down defense, it deals the person who attacked it 1000 points of direct damage. Next, it's effect keeps it from being destroyed in battle."
Clenching his fist tightly till small drops of blood dripped from it, Jesse screamed out in Yubel's voice "YOU WILL NOT MAKE A FOOL OF ME! I END!" (Marie 6500, Jesse 3900)
"It's not hard to do what you do already." Marie taunted while drawing her card. "And since I held no cards in your End Phase, I get another thanks to Mercury."
Hearing Jesse growl while she drew another card, Marie ignored it and examined the card. "I set a face down and summon Nurse Reficule the Fallen One (1400/600) in defense."
Materializing onto the field in a defensive stance was a female creature with purple hair that fell below her shoulders, but on the ends of her hair were sharp blades. On her back was a pair of wings that were a sickly green color with red spines and silver metal blades on the spines. Her entire body, with exception of some skin on her face was covered in white bandages. Only her right eye and part of her cheek and mouth were uncovered, revealing cream colored skin.
"And they say my form is ugly." Yubel's feminine voice spoke up.
Smirking at the comment, Marie replied "This card may not have the looks that my other fairies have, but she's more than meets the eye. In the meantime I'll call it a turn." (Marie 6500, Jesse 3900)
Watching Jesse draw a card, Marie grinned like a Cheshire cat and called out "Hold on there Jesse! I'm about to lend you a hand. I activate the trap Gift Card!"
"What is that!?" Jesse asked with agitation.
Lightly giggling, Marie replied "It's a rather simple trap. It grants you 3000 additional life points."
"Wait, you're giving me points!?" Jesse asked in confusion.
Nodding, Marie smiled and said "Sure am. You get all 3000… Or should I say you would if not for Nurse Reficule."
Without warning, the bandage wrapped fairy began glowing with a dark red aura and smirked evilly at Jesse.
"With Reficule on my field, whenever you would gain life points, you instead lose life points. Looks like that gift I gave you was actually a bomb."
Gasping in surprise, Jesse had no time to prepare as the bandage wrapped fairy suddenly shot a beam of dark red energy at him, making him howl out in pain and fall to one knee. Grinding his teeth together, Jesse stood back up while a purple aura flared out of his body.
"WHY YOU WENCH, HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME! I'LL CRUSH YOU!" Yubel's feminine voice screamed loudly. "DARK DRAGON, CRUSH THAT CREATURE WITH DARK RAINBOW REFRACTION!"
Letting out a loud roar in response, the black dragon fired a beam of rainbow colored energy straight at the bandage covered fairy. The blast tore through the fairy easily, leaving a small explosion in it's wake. A moment later, the smoke cleared, revealing an empty crater where the fairy once was.
Jamming two cards into his Spell/Trap Slots, Jesse growled out "GO!" (Marie 6500, Jesse 900)
Picking up a new card, Marie calmly said "Don't forget, due to Mercury, I draw another card."
Once more drawing a card, Marie placed both into her left hand and examined them. After making a decision, she nodded to herself and showed one of her cards. "I activate this spell, Gift of the Martyr! This lets me sacrifice one of my monsters and add it's attack points to another of my monsters for this turn alone. I'll sacrifice Joan and add it's strength to Tyrant Dragon (2900 + 2800 5700/2500)!"
Glancing at the dark orange dragon, the pink angel nodded to it. Letting out a small growl of acknowledgment, the dragon watched as the pink angel transformed into golden light particles. After a moment, the particles went swirling around the dark orange dragon, which let out a loud howl as it's strength rose.
"Tyrant Dragon, let's finish off his dragon with Tyrant Flame!"
Roaring loudly, the dark orange dragon lifted it's head to aim for the black dragon. Opening it's jaws, flames went pouring out in a stream straight for the black dragon, which watched on.
"Not a bad plan Marie, but it won't work." Jesse declared. "I activate Rainbow Dark Dragon's special ability. By sacrificing my two remaining crystals, his strength rises by a 1000 per each (4000 + 1000 2 6000/0). Now crush her dragon!"
Marie only gasped in shock as the two remaining crystals vanished in a beam of light each while the black dragon roared due to it's increase in strength. Opening it's jaws, the dragon spat a rainbow colored beam back at the incoming flames, which ground against one another for a moment before the rainbow energy flew backwards and struck the dark orange dragon, causing smoke to fill the air from the impact. The smoke soon cleared, revealing an unharmed dark orange dragon.
"Don't forget, thanks to Mist Body, Tyrant Dragon was unharmed, not to mention, my Spirit Barrier reduced the Battle Damage to zero." Marie chided. "I'll set this face down card and that's it." (Marie 6500, Jesse 900)
Grabbing a card, Jesse declared "Good, because I'm about to crush you this turn. I first play my trap, Dust Tornado! This allows me to destroy one of your spell/trap cards. I'll crush your Spirit Barrier!"
Marie didn't even have a chance to gasp in shock when suddenly a brown tornado formed before her trap card. The tornado swallowed the trap instantly, shattering it into millions of pieces.
"Great…" she muttered.
Darkly chuckling, Jesse pointed at his other face down card, causing it to rise. "And now, I activate my trap, Chaotic Rainbow Blast! This trap can only be activated when I have all seven of my Crystal Beasts in my Graveyard, plus if Rainbow Dark Dragon is out. If all of those requirements are fulfilled, my dragon can direct attack you!"
"NO WAY!" Marie yelled in shock.
"Yes way! Go Rainbow Dark Dragon, crush her with Dark Rainbow Refraction!"
Roaring loudly, the black dragon opened it's jaws, causing a rainbow halo to appear before it's mouth. Without a second thought, the dragon fired a rainbow colored beam straight at Marie. The blast hit her square on, making her scream out in pain while a huge explosion ensued.
The explosion slowly subsided, revealing Marie standing on shaky legs. She was panting heavily and wobbling. Without warning, she fell forward onto her knees and then onto her face, sending a small cloud of dust up from the impact.
"Looks like you're finished." Jesse smugly remarked. "How pathetic, you didn't last long at all."
Laying on the ground, Marie heard a voice crying out in her mind. She instantly recognized it as her Duel Spirit. "Marie! Marie, are you alright!? Answer me!"
Weakly, she replied "I'm fine."
"Thank goodness." the dragon growled out in relief.
Slowly moving her body so that she was back up onto her hands and knees, Marie gradually began standing. Sneering at her figure standing back up, Yubel's voice tauntingly asked "Why bother getting up? You're obviously finished."
"I won't quit." Marie remarked in a raspy voice while her head was still hung. "My friends are counting on me."
"Your friends are all gone Marie. Zane fell at my hands, much like Syrus and Jesse. You won't be able to save any of them." Yubel smugly said.
Raising her head, Marie glared at Jesse and retorted heatedly "They're counting on me, and I won't let them down, no matter what the cost!"
Shrugging, Jesse replied in Yubel's voice with "I guess I'll just have to put you out of your misery soon enough. Now then, I activate the spell Crystal Blessing, allowing me to take two Advanced Crystal Beasts from my Grave and place them back into my Spell/Trap Card Zone. I pick Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) and Emerald Turtle (600/2000)."
Glowing to life, Jesse's Graveyard Slot pushed two cards out into his awaiting hand. Once in hand, he slid them into two of his Spell/Trap Slots and smirked as a green and blue crystal formed before him.
"I think that's enough punishment for this turn." (Marie 500, Jesse 900)
