A/N: I wrote each of the Featured Duels sections before anything else in the story beginning with this chapter. It's a long fic compared to the original version, so I felt that this was necessary.
-Thunderbird Ein-
"So you actually believe you can win, Light Doremi?" Shadow Hazuki inquired.
"I have to!" Doremi replied, "For Hazuki-chan's sake…" Doremi looked at her opening hand with uncertainty.
"Losers go first, Light Doremi," Shadow Hazuki said nonchalantly.
Doremi glared at the orange Shadow. "Atashi no trun! Draw!" Doremi looked at the card she just drew. "First, I will summon Summon Priest!" At once, an elderly being in robes appeared before the pink Ojamajo (800/1600). He then crouched down and defended. "When Summon Priest is normal summoned, he is automatically switched to Defense position."
"And you think 1600 DEF is going to stop my attacks?"
"Anou ne, what is Summon Priest able to do?" Hana asked.
"Watch and learn, Hana-chan," Pop replied.
"And now I activate Priest's ability! By discarding any Spell card from my hand, I can special summon any Lv4 monster from my deck…so long as it doesn't attack this turn. So come on in, Astell Drawn!"
Summon Priest raised his hand and drew energy from the spell Doremi sent to her gravryard. He then opened a portal, allowing a small figure appear. It carried something similar to Doremi's poron, but it ended in a brush. The being itself resembled a painter (1600/1000).
"Next, I overlay Lv4 Priest with Lv4 Astell!" Upon her command, Astell and the Priest turned into orbs of light, orange for Astell and purple for Priest and quickly spiraled into a red opening vortex. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Appear now! Gagaga Gunman!"
And just like that, a being wearing typical wild west attire emerged from the vortex with two orange lights orbiting him. He drew two guns as he knelt to defend himself (1500/2400).
"I activate Gunman's ability! When he's in Defense, I can detach one overlay to burn you for 800 damage! Go get her, Gunman!"
An orbiting light entered Gunman's pistol. He then took aim and fired right at Shadow Hazuki. Shje wa struck, but it wasn't as lethal as expected. Regardless, the attack reduced her to 7200 LP.
"Shrewd, Light Doremi, shrewd," Shadow Hazuki said indignantly, "But just because you get the first attack doesn't mean you'll win!"
"We'll see about that, Shadow Hazuki," Doremi replied, "Turn end!"
"And you will learn soon enough why you're not as good as you think you are," Shadow Hazuki retorted, "Watashi no Turn. Draw!" The orange Shadow smirked at the card she drew. She then straightened her glasses, causing them to give an eerie shine. "I activate Treasure Cards of Harmony! With this, by discarding any Lv2 or below Dragon-type tuner, I can draw two cards. I think I'll toss…this!"
Shadow Hazuki discarded White of Legend from her hand and drew her two cards.
"When White of Legend is sent to the graveyard, I can add Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to my hand!" Just then, a brief image of the Legendary Dragon itself appeared above Shadow Hazuki. It vanished as suddenly as it appeared while the orange Shadow added her card to her hand. "Next, I'll activate Trade-In. By discarding and Lv8 monster, I can draw two more cards! And I know exactly who to discard…"
Shadow Hazuki tossed the Blue-Eyes she just added and drew her two cards.
"After sacrificing two cards to get a 3000 ATK monster to your hand…and then you toss it away just like that?" Doremi asked indignantly.
"It's just a children's card game, Light Doremi," Shadow Hazuki deadpanned, "Get over it and continue." She glared at the pink Ojamajo. "Since you just so happen to have an Xyz monster, I'm allowed to special summon Radius, the Half-Moon Dragon from my hand!"
At once, something like a moon appeared. Then, it split apart, with each piece connected to the bosy of a small dragon (1400/1200).
"And when Radius is special summoned this way, his level rises to 8!" Shadow Hazuki smirked as her dragon seemed to grow in a way. "Next, I'll normal summon Tinplate Goldfish!" Just like that, a small fish reminiscent of a tin toy appeared by Radius' side (800/2000). "And it has a special ability: When normal summoned, I'm allowed to special summon any Lv4 monster from my hand…such as THIS!" Suddenly, the back of the tin fish opened up, allowing a draconic head to emerge. Like the tin toy, it too appeared to be made of metal…and it looked evil by itself (800/800). "Meet Cyber Dark Horn!"
"But you special summoned it…and you have no Lv3 dragons in your graveyard. Why did you-?" Doremi asked, but Shadow Hazuki scoffed.
"You really have to ask, Light Doremi?" Shadow Hazuki shook her head, smirking. "This -Tannhauser Gate- is why!" Right then and there, something like a massive circle appeared. An energy screen could be discerned from it. Tinplate Goldfish and Cyber Dark Horn passed through the circle and seemed to have changed in a way. "You like what it does? Oh right, I never told you. Tannhauser Gate takes two monsters I control and combines their levels. The result becomes their new levels. My Goldfish and Cyber Dark are both Lv4, so they now become Lv8!"
"Three Lv8 monsters?!" Doremi gasped.
"That's right! And with these three Lv8 monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Tinplate Goldfish, Radius, and Keel all transformed into spheres of energy –blue for Goldfish, purple for Horn, and gold for Radius- and swirled into a red vortex. "Xyz Summon! Appear now! Enthusiastic Coach King Giantrainer!"
And just like that, Shadow Hazuki's powerful monster emerged from the vortex. He sported a helmet and blue suit and carried a massive club (2800/2000).
Doremi and Gagaga Gunman stared up at the powerful monster with fear and uncertainty.
2800 ATK…and a special ability I'm sure is powerful, Doremi thought, I need to be careful. She looked at the cards in her hand. But there's nothing here that can stop it!
"I activate Coach King's ability! By detaching an Overlay, I can draw one card! Oh, and I can activate it three times per turn, so have at it!" All three of Coach King's materials vanished into its club. He followed by slamming into the ground that many times, allowing Shadow Hazuki to draw her cards. "I have to reveal them though…and if there're any monsters, you take 800 damage for each!" Shadow Hazuki showed Doremi the cards she drew off of Coach King's effect. They were Super-Regeneration Ability, Cyber Dark Keel, and Magical Stone Excavation. "What a shame."
And with that, Coach King brought his club down on Doremi. She managed to evade the attack, but her Life Points fell to 7200.
"Looks like we're even, Shadow Hazuki…" Doremi surmised.
"Looks you're captain of the Obvious Squad," Shadow Hazuki deadpanned, "But now…I activate this: Rank-Up Magic – Barian's Force!"
"Eh?!"
"Barian's Force?!" Hana gasped in shock, "What does that do? Hana-chan has a bad feeling!"
"It takes an Xyz monster and uses it to Xyz summon a Chaos Xyz or Chaos Number one rank higher," Onpu explained, "And certain monsters gain effects when certain Xyz monsters are used…"
"I target Enthusiastic Coach King Giantrainer!" Shadow Hazuki shouted. At once, the Barian Emblem appeared over the powerful Xyz monster. "With this power, I rebuild the Overlay Network!" Coach King transformed into an orb of Magenta energy and flew straight up into a dark vortex. An explosion of dark rainbow energy followed as did a gate sealed with the Barian Emblem. "Be born, a new Chaos Xyz monster! Emerge now and take your power for yourself! Chaos Xyz Change! Awareru! Enthusiastic Coach God Ultimatrainer!"
And with that, the gate burst open, releasing the powerful new monster. He slammed down onto the ground to make his entrance. He had at least four pairs of arms, two of which carried massive, glowing, magenta swords. His body was no longer in a blue suit but wore armor instead (3800/2300). He knelt down and raised his swords in defense. A single magenta crystal floated near him.
"Barian's Force's other effect activates! With it, I can steal any Overlay from one of your Xyz monsters and attach it to Coach God!" True to the orange Shadow's word, magenta energy zipped forward and snatched the last orbiting light form Gunman. Then, the Magenta energy merged with the Overlay, crystalizing it and placing it next to Coach Lord. "And if you were planning to use Bottomless or something like that, forget it. This effect taking place forces that card to miss the timing!"
"She didn't have any sets cards out…" a voice deadpanned. It quickly revealed itself to be Shadow Pop. Shadow Hana was right behind her.
"Sorry we're late, guys!" Shadow Hana said almost cheerfully, "And I see you're trying to turbo through your deck again…"
"It beat Shadow Doremi-chan easily enough," Shadow Hazuki retorted, "No reason it won't work on Light Doremi…"
"You're getting overconfident again…" Shadow Pop warned.
"Oh, by the way, Shadow Hana-chan?"
"Nani?" Shadow Hana replied.
"Oh…nothing…"
Shadow Hana noticed a smirk on the orange Shadow's face. "What did you do?"
Shadow Hazuki snickered. "I activates Coach God's ability! By detaching a Chaos Overlay, I can draw a card and reveal it. And again, if it's a monster, you take 800 damage!" The magenta crystal transformed into energy and flew into Coach God's blades. He swung them both as his mistress drew her card. It was Overload Fusion. Shadow Hazuki sighed. "Damn it."
"And Doremi-chan is safe too!" Aiko pointed out, "Coach Lord's effect forces you to skip your Battle Phase!"
"You think I don't know that? Why do you think I put Coach God in Defense Position?!" Shadow Hazuki glared daggers at Aiko. "I activate two Super-Regeneration Abilities! With these, for each Dragon-type monster I either discarded or tributed this turn, I draw one card during the End Phase…per Regeneration I used!" She smirked again. "Next, I will activate Magical Stone Excavation! By discarding two cards, I can return any spell in my graveyard to my hand! I choose a Super-Regeneration Ability!"
At once, a large crystal appeared. Two lights, a Cyber Dark Edge and Cyber Dark Keel, flew into it. It hen shattered, revealing Super-Regeneration Ability.
"I will set two cards. Turn end." Shadow Hazuki began snickering. "And I discard two Dragons. Therefore, I draw a grand total of four cards!" And just like that, a purple gas surrounded the orange Shadow. It seemingly healed her wounds as she drew her cards. "Just try to stop me this time."
"With pleasure! Atashi no Turn! Draw!" Doremi shouted as she drew her card, "I will set two cards of my own." Doremi inserted two cards, causing two reversed cards to appear behind Gagaga Gunman. "Next…I activate Hand Obliteration! With this, we both have to discard out hands and draw cards equal to the number we lost!"
Shadow Hazuki burst out laughing. "Reverse card, open! Super-Regeneration Ability, hatsudou!"
Doremi winced at the card's activation. She then put every card in her hand into the graveyard and drew three new ones while Shadow Hazuki did the same, albeit with four cards.
"I activate the spell Book of Total Solar Eclipse! With this, every monster is flipped face-down!" Doremi's card lit up. Seconds later, something like a solar eclipse occurred. None of the monsters seemed able to stand it and quickly hid, flipping their cards over. "Next, I activate Gagagaevenge! With this, I can revive any Gagaga monster in my graveyard!" Doremi shouted, "Come back to me, Gagaga Girl!"
One of Doremi's reversed cards flipped face-up. A massive coffin burst forth from the ground. It opened up, revealing the juvenile spellcaster (1000/800).
"And then, I summon Gagaga Magician! And I will follow by flip summoning Gunman!" This time, a slightly older juvenile spellcaster appeared. He took his place by Gagaga Girl and prepared to defend her (1500/1000). Then, Gagaga Gunman flipped face-up, ready to battle and defend his mistress. "I'll continue with Gagaga Magician's ability: Once per turn, I can change his level to anything between 1 and 8; I'll make him Lv5! And Gagaga Girl can copy his level too!"
Magician and Girl nodded at one another as their levels rose.
"And with these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Doremi shouted again. Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl transformed into orbs of purple energy and spiraled into a galaxy-like vortex hovering in the sky. An explosion of rainbow-colored energy erupted soon after. "Awareru! Number 33: OOPArts Super Weapon – Machu Mach!"
Immediately, the massive floating city descended from the vortex, complete with two golden lights orbiting it (2400/1500).
"And since I used Gagaga Girl as Xyz material with another Gagaga monster, I can-!" Doremi began.
"Drop the ATK of one of my Special summoned monster to 0," Shadow Hazuki finished, "But see now, here's the thing: My only special summoned monster is face-down. And Gagaga Girl's ability cannot hit face-down monsters. And even if Coach God was face-up, her ability would still be useless!"
"Nani?"
"Coach God cannot be targeted by card effects!"
"But Machu Mach still gains 300 ATK since Gagagarevenge was sent to the graveyard due to its monster being used for an Xyz summon!" Doremi spoke true. Residual energy from the spell card flowed into the massive Number monster, empowering it(Machu Mach: 2400-2700/1500). "And even without the boost, I'm sure it can take your monster! Machu Mach! Attack Shadow Hazuki's set Coach God! Fire of Vril!"
By her command, Machu Mach gathered energy at the tip of its tallest spire. Once enough energy had been gathered, it launched the blue plasma at the defending monster. Coach God revealed himself again, but his defenses were too weak to withstand the blast, immolating him.
"Awesome!" Aiko shouted, "Doremi-chan just got that powerful monster! There's no stopping her now!"
"In theory," Pop replied, "You forget, there are several Rank 8 monsters with more than 2700 ATK that have powerful abilities."
"Have faith, Pop-chan," Momoko urged, "If you talk of Doremi-chan losing, then she will lose!"
"And if she loses, they will take her and Hazuki-chan!" Hana cried.
Majo Rika, who had been eyeing the duel silently, turned toward the Ojamajos. "I doubt they will honor their end of the deal even if Doremi-chan wins," she warned, "We will have to fight them regardless." She then looked at Hazuki's unmoving form. "And I believe Hazuki is far more injured than we think."
The Ojamajos' expression turned to ones of fear at that.
"Hazuki-chan…can't die yet!" Momoko cried out, "She just can't!"
"If you idiots are done griping and whining," Shadow Hana shouted, "I suggest cheering your friend on. She's losing badly enough without it!"
"She just wiped out a 3800-ATK monster with her ace card!" Pop retorted, "What does that tell you?!"
"I'm just toying with this loser," Shadow Hazuki said nonchalantly.
"But I'm not! Gagaga Gunman! Attack Shadow Hazuki directly!" Doremi shouted. Gunman nodded in agreement. He quickly took aim and fired both of his guns, striking the orange Shadow and dropping her to 5700 Life Points. "I will set one card. Turn end!" A reversed card appeared behind Machu Mach.
"And during your End Phase, I get to draw cards up to the number of Dragon-type monsters I discarded," Shadow Hazuki reminded, "I tossed three, so I get three more cards!" She punctuated her point by drawing her three cards, smirking upon seeing what they were. "Watashi no Turn! Draw!" The orange Shadow looked intently at her newest card. She snickered. "You remember this combo, right? Treasure Cards and Trade-In?"
Doremi silently nodded as the orange Shadow activated Treasure cards of Harmony, discarding another White of Legend to draw two cards and then adding another Blue-Eyes to her hand courtesy of its effect. She then used Trade-In, tossing the Blue-Eyes and drawing two more cards. Shadow Hazuki smirked slightly at her new hand.
"Next, I activate Overload Fusion! By banishing fusion material monsters from my graveyard, I can fusion Summon any DARK Machine-type monster. And I know just who to fuse!" Shadow Hazuki grinned maliciously as she pocketed the Cyber Dark Horn, Edge, and Keel. All three of them appeared on her field. Suddenly, Keel's head seemed to split open and attach to Edge. Then Edge's head withdrew into is body and allowed wires to emerge. Finally, Horn split open its tail end and attached itself to Edge. The end result looked like an evil dragon born from corrupt machinery (1000/1000). "Meet Cyber Dark Dragon!"
"But it only has 1000 ATK, Doremi pointed out, "It couldn't possibly defeat Machu Mach!"
"I beg to disagree, Light Doremi." Shadow Hazuki waved her finger in a "tsk tsk" manner. "When Cyber Dark Dragon is Fusion Summoned, I can equip it with any Dragon-type monster in my graveyard…such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Cyber Dark Dragon called open a portal from which Blue-Eyes returned through. Then, the mechanical dragon extended more wires from is body which proceeded to attach themselves to the mighty dragon underneath. Blue-Eyes roared in pain, but shadow Hazuki turned a blind eye.
"Cyber Dark Dragon gains 100 ATK for each monster in my graveyard in addition to gaining the equipped dragon's ATK!"
Cyber Dark Dragon immediately began absorbing energy from Blue-Eyes. At the same time, it seemed to call out to the fallen monsters in its mistress' graveyard (1000-5100/1000).
"Next, since I control a Lv8 monster, I can normal summon Parsec, the Interstellar Dragon without tributing!" Right then and there, a portal opened up. And from it, a small, four-winged dragon emerged (800/800). "That's two Lv8 monsters. Any guesses what's coming next?"
"Eh?" Doremi gasped slightly, "But Cyber Dark Dragon has over 5000 ATK! What more could you do with it?"
"This! With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" At once, Cyber Dark Dragon transformed into a purple or of energy, freeing and destroying Blue-Eyes from its misery. At the same time, Parsec turned into a golden orb of energy. Both quickly flew into a galaxy-like vortex. "Roar throughout the universe! Revive, from the source of all galaxies that flows back far through time! Manifest yourself and lead me to victory! Xyz summon! Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!"
"What…did…she…just…SAY?!" Shadow Hana shouted.
The galaxy-like vortex exploded violent in a rainbow of colors. As it did so, a massive core appeared from within it. It resembled an upside-down pyramid and had lights on either side, two blue and two red. Suddenly, it split open and numerous members emerged, from wings to limbs, all mechanical in appearance. When it finally stopped, it now resembled a massive dragon. It roared in rage (3000/2500).
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, SHADOW HAZUKI-CHAN?!" Shadow Hana shouted, "THAT'S MY MONSTER!"
"Relax, Shadow Hana-chan," Shadow Hazuki replied nonchalantly, "I'm only borrowing it. You'll get it back after the game."
Tachyon Dragon roared angrily at Shadow Hazuki and glared daggers at her.
"She actually stole that…from Shadow Hana?" Hana asked.
"I wouldn't put it past her to do that," Onpu replied, "I wouldn't be surprised if she's done that in the past…"
"Amateurs," Shadow Hazuki said snidely, "I activate the spell Dragon's Mirror! With this, by banishing fusion materials from my graveyard, I can Fusion Summon any dragon-type Fusion Monster! And I think I'll Fusion Summon…THIS!" the orange Shadow took five Dragon-type monsters form her graveyard and pocketed them. All five of them appeared on the field alongside a large mirror: Radius, Scharzchild the Limit Dragon, White of Legend, and two Blue-Eyes White Dragons. All five of them flew into the mirror. Moments later, the mirror's surface glowed violently and shattered, releasing the behemoth from its slumber. Easily the largest dragon the orange Shadow summoned, it had 5 heads, one made of fire, one of a sea serpent, one from hell, one with spikes on its head, and the last one having a wind-defying appearance (5000/5000). "Say hello to my little friend: Five God Dragon!"
Doremi could only stare in shock at the new monster. "5000 ATK?!" she gasped.
"And it can't be destroyed in battle by your DARK, WATER, WIND, EARTH, and FIRE monsters either!"
"And…what is the point in that effect?" Pop asked, "It has 5000 ATK. Almost nothing will be running it over anytime soon."
"And now to tear your Life Points to shreds! I'm entering my Battle Phase!" Shadow Hazuki declared, "And at the start of my Battle Phase, I can activate Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon's ability! By detaching one Overlay, I can negate the effects of all other face-up monsters on the field and reset their ATK and DEF! Go! Tachyon Transmigration!" Tachyon Dragon absorbed one of the lights orbiting it. Immediately, it withdrew back into its seale3d form and rotated until both a blue light and red light faced Doremi's monsters. Rainbow-colored light burst out from the semi-sealed dragon; Gagaga Gunman seemed in pain while the core inside Machu Mach ceased glowing (Machu Mach: 2700-2400/1500) and even the mighty Five God Dragon seemed more than a little ill from the Tachyon Dragon's power. Once it finished, the dragon unfolded itself again, this time seeming even bigger than it was previously. "Now, Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! Attack OOPArts Super Weapon! Tachyon Spiral of Annihilation!"
Tachyon Dragon growled at the order before launching its breath weapon. The blast headed right for its target.
"Reverse card, open! Magic Cylinder, hatsudou!" Doremi shouted. Two cylinders covered in runes appeared before Machu Mach. "I can negate your attack and inflict damage equal to Tachyon Dragon's ATK!"
Tachyon Dragon's attack flew into one of them. Then, the energy flew out of the other and headed right for the now-shocked orange Shadow. It hit her hard, sending her to the ground in a daze as her Life Points fell to 2700. Tachyon Dragon snorted in approval.
"That's what you get for using my Dragon without permission!" Shadow Hana shouted, "Isn't that right, Tachyon-kun?"
"AAAGGGGHHH!" she groaned. She then began laughing. "When I use Tachyon Transmigration, any card effects you use during the Battle Phase only make Tachyon Dragon stronger! Each time they resolve, Tachyon Dragon gains 1000 ATK…and can attack again this turn!"
"Nani?!"
"I used Tachyon Dragon's ability for the sole intent of getting 300 more damage in. You raised that by 1000 more points!" Tachyon Dragon's form glowed brightly as it seemed to reset time itself (3000-4000/2500). "Now, attack and destroy that Gunman! Tachyon Spiral of Annihilation!" Tachyon Dragon performed its signature attack again, this time aimed at the Gunman. He tried to defend himself, but the blast was too much to take and he was vaporized. Doremi was caught in the blast and immediately flung to the ground, her Life Points falling to 4700. "I'm not done yet! Five God Dragon! Attack Number 33: OOPArts Super Weapon – Machu Mach! Five-Fold God of Hell!"
Five God Dragon got to its feet and aimed all five of its heads at Machu Mach. Each head fired a different blast: Fire, Water, Darkness, Dust, and Wind. All five converged on Machu Mach and burst through it. It floated there for a brief moment…before collapsing in on itself and falling the ground. Horrified, Doremi tried to get out of the way. She succeeded, but the impact knocked her to the ground once again, reducing her to 2100 Life Points.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" Doremi groaned as she got back up. A sharp pain in her shoulder caused her to wince. "My shoulder…!" She then glared at Shadow Hazuki. I guess my should hasn't quite healed from my battle with Shadow Doremi…
Shadow Hazuki smirked. "Oh, problem with your shoulder? I guess you're just that weak, huh? I set one card." A reversed card appeared behind Tachyon Dragon. "And now I will go to my End Phase…where I activate another Super-Regeneration ability!" At once, more purple smoke surrounded the orange Shadow. "I discarded two Dragon-type monsters this turn…thus, I draw two cards! Turn end!"
Tachyon Dragon's form seemed to contract a bit, returning to its original form before it used is powers (4000-3000/2500).
Doremi panted heavily. "A…Atashi…no Turn! Draw!" she shouted. She had to struggle to draw her card, but was unable to get her hand moving toward it. "I…I can't…"
"Doremi-chan!" Aiko called, "You can't give up just yet! Hazuki-chan's countin' on ya!"
"Yeah!" Momoko shouted as well, "You gotta keep going! If you don't, you and Hazuki-chan will be taken away!"
"Do…Doremi…-chan…" came a weak voice. Doremi turned toward the source: Hazuki. "You…must keep…going!" Hazuki bgan struggling to get up. A sudden coughing fit caused her to collapse again.
"Hazuki-chan!" Doremi shrieked.
"Don't…worry about me…right now. You have…to…" At that moment, Hazuki passed out.
"I didn't think she had much strength left," Shadow Hazuki deadpanned, "Shadow Onpu-chan did a number on her after their little game, after all…"
Doremi clenched her fist. Seeing Hazuki try cheer her on despite how much it hurt her…followed by seeing Shadow Hazuki kick her after she fell again…Doremi couldn't stand it.
"I…WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Doremi shouted, "Atashi no Turn! Draw!" Doremi looked at the card she just drew. "I activate the spell Pot of Avarice! By returning five monsters in my graveyard to my deck, I can draw two cards!" Doremi took her five monsters from her graveyard and added them to her deck. Anything that went into the Extra Deck went there instead. Her deck then shuffled itself. "The power of my friends flows through this deck. Become the power to guide my victory!" The top of Doremi's deck glowed…DESINTY DRAW. And since she was drawing two cards, she was able to decide exactly which cards they were. She took both of her cards from her deck and looked at them with determination. "First, I activate the spell Black Hole! This will destroy all monsters on the field!"
Immediately, a massive black vortex opened up. Tachyon Dragon roared in anger as it was drawn in. Five God Dragon struggled as well but to no avail. Nothing was left aside from the reversed cards once the sell wore off.
"I guess that's what Tachyon Dragon gets for approving of an enemy's actions," Shadow Hazuki said nonchalantly.
"Tachyon-kun only approved of Light Doremi's actions because he doesn't like you!" Shadow Hana retorted.
"That, and it gained a pretty good boost from Light Doremi's trap," Shadow Pop added.
"Reverse card, open! Resurrection of the Dead, hatsudou!" Doremi half-shouted. Her final set card revealed itself, causing an Ankh to appear overhead. Shadow Hazuki bit her lip. "With this card, I can bring back any monster from either graveyard! I choose this card!"
Shadow Hazuki looked on in horror as the ankh glowed brilliantly. When the glow subsided, Number 33: OOPArts Super Weapon – Machu Mach floated in place of the ankh (2400/1500). The orange Shadow immediately burst into laughter.
"So that's what you were hiding. And here I was thinking I shouldn't have toyed with you earlier!" she mocked.
"I will have this game next turn," Doremi promised, "But first, I'm activating the spell Overlay Regenerate! With this, I can target one Xyz monster on the field and attach this card to it as an Overlay! Take it, Machu Mach!" With that, the card transformed into a blue-green light and began to orbit the massive Number. "And now, Machu Mach! Attack her directly! Fire of Vril!"
Machu Mach once again gathered energy at the tip of its highest spire. Once fully charged, it fired a beam of blue plasma. Shadow Hazuki was caught in the blast, causing her to be flung to the ground and her Life Points to fall to 300.
"Yes!" Aiko shouted, "Doremi-chan's won! All she's gotta do now is wait until next turn and finish Shadow Hazuki off!"
"But are you sure Onee-chan will have that turn?" Pop asked, "I want Onee-chan to win more than anything, but Shadow Hazuki has claimed she toyed with her."
"Nani?" Hana asked, "How?"
"Simple: Shadow Hazuki could have won earlier. She could have normal summoned something else and used any abilities it had instead of using Cyber Dark Dragon as Xyz material. It would have been a greater risk, but she could easily have had the win then and there. She could also have used a spell/trap removal card too to make things less risky."
"So then Shadow Hazuki really was toying with Doremi-chan then?" Aiko asked.
"Yes. But the worst part her is that Onee-chan could've revived something else aside from Machu Mach." The red Ojamajo envisioned a powerful dragon. "She could have revived Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon instead. And with its 3000 ATK, it could have won the game for Onee-chan."
"EH?!" The others shouted.
"That idiot!" Majo Rika scolded.
"So that's why Shadow Hazuki burst into laughter!" Onpu surmised, "She knew she could've lost that round!"
"And now will see to it that this loser pay the price!" Shadow Hazuki shouted, "I have in my hand the cards needed to win this turn…except one. The set card I control is also needed. I have to draw that needed card to secure victory. And since I only less than half of my Life Points remaining…"
Doremi's eyes went wide. "Usou…!"
"You should've finished me when you had the chance! Watashi no Turn!" The top card of Shadow Hazuki's deck glowed a dark, orange-lined radiance…DESINTY DRAW. "The power of my pride carries me forward! And it is this power that I shall claim victory!" Shadow Hazuki took her card. Her grin widened into an insane smile. "First, I activate my face-down card: Limit Rebirth! With this, I can revive anything with 1000 or less ATK! So come back to me, Parsec!"
A small crack appeared in the ground. It widened dramatically as the small dragon returned to the field.
"Then, I play Resurrection of the Dead! And I'll use it to revive White of Legend!" The ankh appeared overhead once again. This time, the egg of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared (300/250). "Next, I'll activate another Tannhauser Gate! With this, I make both monsters Lv9!"
Just like that, both of her monsters passed through the gate, re-emerging seemingly stronger than before.
"And with these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Parsec and White of Legend transformed into orbs of golden energy and flew into a galaxy-like vortex. There was another explosion of rainbow-colored energy. "Descend! Number 9: Canopy Star – Dyson Sphere!"
The group waited for several moments. When nothing happened, Doremi shot Shadow Hazuki a worried look.
"Um, wh-where is your monster?" Doremi asked.
"You have to ask?" Shadow Hazuki deadpanned. She pointed straight up at the sky. "That answer your question?"
Doremi and her fellow Ojamajos looked up at the sky and gasped. Right over their heads in the distance was what seemed to be a space station. It had five large flaps and what appeared to be the sun itself inside its core. Everyone could've sworn it was big enough to crush everything it came in contact with (2800/3000).
"I-I-IT'S HUGE!" Hana cried.
"Oh…my…god!" Momoko gasped.
"I knew Dyson Spheres were big, but this…isn't ridiculous," Pop remarked.
"Are you babies done gawking or what?!" Shadow Hazuki shouted, "Anyway…Dyson Sphere! Attack Machu Mach!" Shadow Hazuki ordered. At once, the bigger-than-the-sun space station charged its weapons. One finished, it unleashed hundreds of missiles and dead-eye accurate laser beams. Doremi watched in horror as each one approached Machu Mach. "And during the Damage Step, I activate the spell Limiter Release! With this, I can double the ATK of all Machine-type monsters I control!"
Suddenly, Dyson Sphere's charging systems seemed to kick into overdrive, as evidenced by small explosion rocking the entire machine. More beams and missiles streamed out of its defenses as did pillars of flame (2800-5600/3000).
"No way…" Doremi said in horror.
She watched as her ace monster was torn to shreds by the near-constant barrage of attacks from the behemoth space station. Machu Mach could never withstand any such assault and was quickly blown to pieces. The sound of grinding metal and stone from within it held an agonized tone as it fell apart and landed around it's mistress.
Doremi tried to dodge the falling debris. She evaded a good amount of it, but in the end there was just too much. She slipped and fell and saw the remains of Machu Mach's now-flaming corefalling toward here.
"Pororin Pyaurin HanaHana Pii!" Hana desperately chanted, "Doremi mama wo tasukete!"
At once, a white barrier surrounded Doremi, protecting her form the flaming debris. Despite being shielded from the barrage, Doremi's Life Points fell to 0.
Shadow Hazuki is the winner!
"Mama!" Hana shouted.
"Doremi-chan!" The other Ojamajos and Majo Rika shouted.
"Onee-chan!" Pop shouted.
"Game. Set. And Match!" Shadow Hazuki said triumphantly. She smirked as the Light Beings made their way over to the pink Ojamajo while everything vanished. "I admit, you actually gave me a much bigger run for my money then I originally thought. It explains why Shadow Doremi-chan failed so miserably against you. I'll have to remember not to toy with you next time."
"I…I lost…" Doremi said distantly, "I lost…I lost Hazuki-chan…"
Onpu glared at Shadow Hazuki. "Stop rubbing it in. Can't you see what you've done?!"
"She can see just fine, Light Onpu," Shadow Onpu deadpanned, "In any case, we'll be taking our prisoners and leaving."
"you can't leave while that tendril is still pinned!" Aiko pointed out.
"And do you really believe Light Hana could've snapped this thing?" Shadow Hana asked. She quickly conjured some magic and fired it at the scissors holding the tendril in place. Its impact erased the scissors from existence. "Like we said, Light Doremi and Light Hazuki are ours now."
"Please don't do this!" Hana cried, "Take me instead!"
"Hana-chan!" Aiko, Pop, and Onpu shouted.
"Tempting, but no. We're not in the mood to trade."
"And it's the five of us against the five of you," Shadow Pop reminded, "And the others can come with just a quick call!"
Right then and there, a being tore its way through the scenery and sliced hard at the tendril. It snapped clean off, much to Shadow Onpu's shock. And before anyone else could react, it had already snapped shadow Hazuki's tendril, knocking her off balance. When it stopped, both sides looked at it and were surprised.
The being was Kada. To the Ojamajos, he was just some random young man who attacked them months ago. To the Shadow Ojamajos, he was the man who kidnapped and imprisoned Shadow Momoko. Majo Rika had no idea who he was, but she had heard of him from Jou-sama, Megan, and the Ojamajos. Shadow Momoko, meanwhile, gasped in shock and fear and hid behind Shadow Onpu, tears beginning to stream down her face.
"What are you doing here, Kada?" Onpu demanded.
"Making sure my plans go through," he replied, "Any of you falling into their hands wouldn't be good, now would it?" He then walked over to the fallen Hazuki. After glancing at her, the Gem on his shoulder plate glowed brilliantly. Once it stopped, Hazuki coughed and began moving again. "Her dying right now would also throw a wrench in my plans."
Hazuki wasted no time in stumbling to her feet and rushing over to her friends.
"How did you get here?!" Shadow Onpu demanded.
"That is for me to know and you to find out," Kada said sternly. He then stood in between both groups. "You girls will take your leave. I will make sure of it."
"Fat chance!" Shadow Onpu shouted angrily, "You're gonna pay for what you did to Shadow Momo-chan!" Shadow Onpu immediately rushed at him…only to be stopped by Shadow Hazuki catching and holding her back. "Let me go, Shadow Hazuki!"
"That's just what he wants!" Shadow Hazuki warned, "You can't beat him by yourself!" Shadow Onpu stopped struggling, but she still glared daggers at Kada. "Our best bet is to retreat empty-handed and report this to Black Queen-sama." She turned toward Kada. "And if you ever decide to interfere again, we'll call Black Queen-sama right here and now!"
"And you think he's really scared of her?" came another voice. Everyone quickly identified it as that of Skaj as he entered the scene. "This punk's been able to beat Light Queen, Majorin, and Megan by himself. You really believe he'll lose to Black Queen? Come on! I can beat Black Queen!"
"Fine. We'll leave. For now…" Shadow Hazuki said venomously.
And with that, the five Shadow Ojamajos vanished into the shadows. Kada and Skaj quickly followed via the latter's own path, leaving the Ojamajos and Majo Rika alone.
"We just got lucky there," Aiko stated. She then turned toward the whimpering Doremi. "Demo…I think Shadow Hazuki took something from Doremi-chan. Something huge and important."
"You'll be okay, Doremi-chan," Hazuki comforted, "You did well against her!"
"I lost… I…" Doremi broke down into sobbing. "But I failed you, Hazuki-chan!"
"Doremi-chan!" Majo Rika shouted. Doremi stopped her crying and turned her attention to her mentor. "Crying and dwelling on your failure will get you nowhere! Such as when I drowned my sorrows when Majo Ruka took my shop…"
"Minna-san," Onpu began, "Maybe we should give Doremi-chan some space."
"But first, we gotta get outta here," Aiko pointed out.
The others agreed and everyone sans Doremi got into position.
"Paipai Ponpoi Shinyakani!" Hazuki chanted.
"Pameruku Lalaku Takarakani!" Aiko chanted.
"Pururun Purun Suzuyakani!" Onpu chanted.
"Peruton Petton Sawayakani!" Momoko chanted.
"Magical Stage!" the foursome chanted, "Get us out of this dimension!"
The powerful spell did the trick. One moment, they were in between the realms of Light and Shadow. Next thing they know, they're back where Onpu and Hazuki were ambushed at. From there, they all flew back to the Mahou-Dou.
The Shadow Ojamajos were in their common room. They had just made it back, but the air was full of unease.
Shadow Momoko was still shaken by Kada's appearance.
Shadow Hazuki was still more than a little smug about beating Doremi.
Shadow Hana was still fuming at Shadow Hazuki due to her using her ace monster.
Shadow Onpu was trying to comfort Shadow Momoko, but she wanted nothing to do with the purple Ojamajos and quickly left.
Shadow Pop was more than a little amused by the turn of events, but even she was a bit disappointed in Shadow Hazuki.
Shadow Doremi and Shadow Aiko had no idea what was going on.
"Someone mind spilling the beans?" Shadow Doremi half-demanded.
"Shadow Hazuki-chan beat your Light Half using my card," Shadow Hana replied indignantly, "Which reminds me." The White Shadow conjured a ball of Shadow Magic and took aim right at Shadow hazuki's head. "You can't block this attack, Shadow Hazuki-chan. So give me back my card!"
"Okay, okay! Here! Take it!" Shadow Hazuki burst out. She pulled the card to of her Extra Deck and tossed it to Shadow Hana. The white Shadow dismissed her attack and caught the card. "And I promise not to use your Tachyon dragon without your permission again! There, happy?!"
Shadow Hana simply glared daggers at the orange Shadow as her reply. She then put the card back into her Extra Deck without another word. That's when she noticed Shadow Onpu looking more than a little dour.
"What's wrong, Shadow Onpu-chan?" Shadow Hana asked.
"Why does she want nothing to do with me?" Shadow Onpu asked herself, "I tried to cheer her up, but took it as an insult. Why?"
"Maybe it's because you're not giving her any space?" Shadow Aiko replied, "I mean, come on! You know the kind of s**t she went through!"
"Not to mention mine…" Shadow Doremi added. She closed her eyes…
It was a dark and moonless night. Shadow Doremi, Shadow Hazuki, Shadow Aiko, and Shadow Onpu were in the middle of a deserted back alley. Before them was the being they know as Kada. Shadow Doremi stepped forward first.
"We know you have her!" Shadow Doremi shouted angrily, "Give her back!"
"And what makes you certain I will do that?" Kada inquired, "Given her crimes so far…" He pulled out a card. It depicted Shadow Momoko suffering and agonized. "Personally, I feel she deserves this fate."
"She never deserved this!" Shadow Onpu yelled, "And you have no right passing judgment on us like some kind of god!"
"Her previous status had put her in a prime position to get off scot-free for everything she did. Personally, I feel this fate is appropriate."
"Ah, give her back to them," a new voice rung throughout the alley. The Shadow Ojamajos, particularly Shadow Doremi, recognized it. Its source materialized from the very darkness itself and walked up beside Kada. The Shadow looked just like him. "It ain't like we need the brat for anything other than entertainment and target practice!"
Shadow Doremi recognized him immediately. "I-it can't be-! Skaj?!" she asked with horror, "Y-You were in on this?!"
"Yeah. So what? It's what Kada wants," Skaj replied.
Shadow Doremi was beside herself with anger and betrayal. Words formed but died In her throat.
"How could you do such a thing? She trusted you!" Shadow Aiko shouted. She immediately began to rush at him, only to be stopped by Shadow Hazuki.
"No, Shadow Ai-chan!" Shadow Hazuki shouted, "That's just what he wants! You can't beat him. None of us can!"
"But I can't -and won't!- let this bastard pull this kind of injustice and get away with it!"
"We have no choice," Shadow Onpu replied, "I want to make him suffer too, but I want to make Kada suffer even more for what he's done!"
"If you insist on getting this one back, then here," Kada replied. The card he held glowed a neutral orange before chains extended from it. Held in the chains' grip was a lone figure. Moments later, the chains released her, dropping her to unceremoniously to the ground. "I have no use for her as a prisoner at the moment. You may have her back."
Shadow Onpu rushed up to the figure: Shadow Momoko. "Shadow Momo-chan! Shadow Momo-chan!" she cried out. Shadow Momoko remained motionless. She looked heavily injured; scars dotted her body and her clothing had suffered tremendous damage. "Shadow Momo-chan…?"
"She'll be alright," Shadow Doremi assured, coming from her side. She then turned toward Skaj. "As for you…You will be listed as a traitor and a fool!"
"I'm a Shadow Puer Magi, Shadow Doremi-chan," Skaj replied nonchalantly, "When was the last time one of us was ever friends with a Shadow Witch?"
"You also have your ally back, so I suggest you take your leave," Kada warned, "You may want to be more careful when dealing with me in the future."
The Shadow Ojamajos grit their teeth in anger. But they knew Kada's power now, more or less, so they could take no chances. And they knew how powerful Skaj was as far as fighting went.
"I will be taking my leave," Kada said. He then teleported off, with Skaj doing the same.
"Minna-san," Shadow Doremi began, "Let's go."
Shadow Onpu picked up Shadow Momoko's unconscious form and carried it with her. Finally, all of them vanished into the shadows. By then, it had started raining.
"I'm not quite sure-?" Shadow Aiko began, but was quickly shushed by Shadow Hazuki.
"Shadow Doremi-chan wants to remember it that way, not by the truth," Shadow Hazuki whispered, "Who could blame her? She was betrayed by her boyfriend in the worst possible way to her!"
"Are you two done whispering to each other?!" Shadow Doremi shouted angrily, "Well?!"
"Yeah, since you asked so nicely…"
The Pink Shadow frowned at her fellow Shadow's sarcasm. She shook it off and left for her room. The others exchanged looks of worry and confusion as they tried to process what was going on in Shadow Doremi's head.
"Shadow Momo-chan isn't the only one who needs some space…" Shadow Aiko remarked.
Shadow Doremi wandered about in her room for what felt like hours. She recalled exactly what had happened that night when they finally got Shadow Momoko back. And yet, she was still angry and fearful at him. Even looking at her most precious treasure -a black gem encased in a cage with a crest on top and balancing on a needle- did nothing. Especially since it was given to her by Skaj himself.
She collapsed onto her bed, tears streaming down her face. She absolutely despised him with her very being…yet felt a nagging suspicion in the back of her mind that there was more to Skaj's betrayal than previously thought…
"SO you're suggesting I get into this game?" Black Queen inquired.
"That is *achoo!* correct!" Evil Rin said. She sounded like her nose was stopped up…especially since that was the case. "Shadow Toron has been detecting that our magic is resonating with these *achoo!* cards! And thinks that maybe it can be useful to *achoo!* us!"
Black Queen rubbed her forehead, despite the presence of a veil. "Fine." She snapped her fingers…and an unopened box of cards appeared in her hand. "So this resonance works when we use these cards?"
Evil Rin stared at her leader. "I have no idea…"
Black Queen sighed with aggravation.
Majorin was staying by Jou-sama's side in Majo Kai's clinic. She hadn't moved from that spot in days other than for other duties, such as helping the Senate to run Majo Kai in the Queen's absence. Dr. Majo Heart and Majo Toron couldn't help but worry for her.
"Majorin-san?" Majo Heart began.
Majorin turned toward the doctor. "Do you have a diagnosis?"
"Unfortunately, no. But Majo Toron has made more headway on her analysis of the Verz deck Jou-sama wielded." The doctoring Witch gestured for Majo Toron to come over and explain. "Majo Toron?"
"Hai, Majo Heart-san," Majo Toron replied. She cleared her throat. "I have confirmation: Jou-sama's magic is indeed resonating with this Verz deck. And going by the book Doremi-chan and the others conjured, I think that Jou-sama may have inadvertently brought the virus described to life." The inventive Witch clutched her chin. "Her body may be fighting it off just like any other virus. But the Verz virus itself feeds off of negative emotions, and Jou-sama was described as having such negative emotions. And it can spread at a very horrifying rate."
"It seems you may have something there, Majo Toron-san," Majo Heart replied, "In that case, I will develop a spell that can safely detect this virus. In the meantime, you must continue studying the resonance and any possible risks involved."
"Will do." Majo Toron looked toward Majorin. "Majorn-san?"
"Gommenasai," the red-violet Witch replied, "I wish I could contribute more than this…"
Featured Duel: Doremi vs. Shadow Hazuki
Doremi LP (8000) – Shadow Hazuki LP (8000)
Doremi's turn:
Doremi has Pot of Duality, Summoner Monk, Penguin Soldier, Gagagarevenge, and Spirit Reaper as her opening hand. She draws Gagaga Girl.
Doremi normal summons Summoner Monk. Since it was normal summoned, it goes into Defense position as per its effect. She then activates Summoner Monk's effect, discarding Pot of Duality and special summoning Star Drawing from her deck.
Doremi overlays Summoner Monk with Star Drawing to Xyz summon Gagaga Cowboy in Defense Position. Since Star drawing was used as an Xyz material, Doremi is allowed to draw 1 more card from her deck; she draws Monster Reborn. She then activates Cowboy's effect, detaching Star Drawing and inflicting 800 damage to Shadow Hazuki. She ends.
Shadow Hazuki's turn:
Shadow Hazuki has Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force, Tannhauser Gate, Cards of Consonance, The White Stone of Legend, and Cyberdark Horn as her opening hand. She draws Trade-In.
Shadow Hazuki activates Cards of Consonance, discarding The White Stone of Legend and drawing Tinplate Goldfish and Cyberdark Edge; since The White Stone of Legend was sent to the graveyard, Shadow Hazuki can add 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon from her deck to her hand. She then activates Trade-In, discarding Blue-Eyes White Dragon and drawing Super Rejuvenation and Radius the Half-Moon Dragon.
Since Doremi controls an Xyz monster while she has no monsters, Shadow Hazuki can Special Summon Radius from her hand; its Level becomes 8 as a result. She then normal summons Tinplate Goldfish; since she normal summoned it, she is allowed to special summon any Lv4 monster from her hand; she chooses Cyberdark Horn. She follows up by activating Tannhauser Gate, targeting Goldfish and Horn and making them both Lv8. She overlays Radius, Goldfish, and Horn to Xyz summon Coach King Giantrainer. She activates its effect, detaching all three materials and drawing and revealing 3 cards: Super Rejuvenation, Cyberdark Keel, and Magical Stone Excavation. For each monster drawn and revealed by this effect, Doremi takes 800 damage.
Shadow Hazuki activates Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force, targeting Coach King and using it as Xyz material to Xyz summon CXyz Coach Lord Ultimatrainer in Defense Position; Barian's Force takes Gagaga Cowboy's last Xyz material and attaches it to Coach Lord as another Xyz material. She then activates Coach Lord's effect, detaching the stolen Summoner Monk and drawing and revealing an Overload Fusion.
Since Shadow Hazuki activated the effect of a Coach King this turn, she cannot conduct her Battle Phase. Instead, she activates two Super Rejuvenations. She then activates Magical Stone Excavation, discarding Cyberdark Edge and Cyberdark Keel and adding one of the Super Rejuvenations back to her hand. She then sets it and Overload Fusion and ends.
During her End Phase, Shadow Hazuki draws two cards for each dragon she discarded or tributed; she discarded 2, so she draws 4 cards. She draws Parsec the Interstellar Dragon, Tinplate Goldfish, Schwartzschild the Limit Dragon, and Radius the Half-Moon Dragon.
Doremi LP (7200) – Shadow Hazuki LP (7200)
Doremi's turn:
Doremi draws Card Destruction.
Doremi sets Monster Reborn and Gagagaravenge. She then activates Card Destruction; both players discard their hands and draw cards equal to the number discarded. Doremi draws three cards (Magic Cylinder, Book of Eclipse, and Gagaga Magician) while Shadow Hazuki draws four (The White Stone of Legend, Trade-In, One for One, and Mystical Space Typhoon).
Doremi activates Book of Eclipse, flipping all monsters face-down. She then activates Gagagarevenge and uses it to revive Gagaga Girl. She then summons Gagaga Magician and flips Gagaga Cowboy face-up. She follows up by activating Magician's effect to make him Lv5; she uses Girl's effect to copy Magician's level. She then overlays Magician and Girl to Xyz summon Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech; since Gagagarevenge was sent to the graveyard due to Gagaga girl being used as Xyz material, all Xyz monsters Doremi controls gain 300 ATK. However, Gagaga Girl's effect does not apply since there are no face-up special summoned monsters on Hazuki's field and because Coach Lord cannot be targeted by card effects.
Doremi attacks the set Coach Lord with Machu Mech, destroying it. She then attacks directly with Gagaga Cowboy. She sets Magic Cylinder and ends.
During her End Phase, Shadow Hazuki activated Super Rejuvenation. Since she discarded three Dragon-type monsters this turn, she draws three cards; she draws Dragon's Mirror, Parsec the Interstellar Dragon, and Cards of Consonance.
Shadow Hazuki's turn:
Shadow Hazuki draws Tinplate Goldfish.
Shadow Hazuki activates Cards of Consonance, discarding The White Stone of Legend and drawing Limit Reverse and Night Beam; she adds Blue-Eyes White Dragon as per White Stone's effect. She follows up with Trade-In, discarding Blue-Eyes and drawing Super Rejuvenation and The White Stone of Legend. She then activates Overload Fusion, banishing Cyberdark Horn, Cyberdark Edge, and Cyberdark Keel to Fusion Summon Cyberdark Dragon. Since it was special summoned, Shadow Hazuki can equip it with any Dragon-type monster in her graveyard; she chooses Blue-Eyes White Dragon. And since there is now a Lv8 monster on her field, Shadow Hazuki can normal summon Parsec without tributing. She overlays Parsec with Cyberdark Dragon to Xyz summon Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon. She follows up by activating Dragon's Mirror, banishing Radius, Scwarzschild, White Stone, and both Blue-Eyes' to Fusion Summon Five-Headed Dragon.
At the start of the Battle Phase, Shadow Hazuki activates Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon's effect, detaching Cyberdark Dragon and negating all other monster effects on the field and resetting their ATKs. She then attacks Machu Mech with Galaxy-Eyes. Doremi activates Magic Cylinder and rebounds the attack at Shadow Hazuki, but because she activated Galaxy-Eyes' effect, it gains 1000 ATK and can attack again. She attacks Gagaga Cowboy, destroying it. Shadow Hazuki then attacks Machu Mech with Five-Headed Dragon, destroying it too.
Shadow Hazuki sets Limit Reverse and activates Super Rejuvenation during her End Phase; since she discarded two Dragon-Type monsters, she draws two cards (Tannhauser Gate and Limiter Removal). She ends.
Doremi LP (2100) – Shadow Hazuki LP (4200)
Doremi's turn:
Doremi draws Pot of Avarice.
She activates Pot of Avarice, returning Gagaga Cowboy, Summoner Monk, Star Drawing, Gagaga Magician, and Gagaga Girl to her deck and using DESTINY DRAW to get Dark Hole and Overlay Regen. She then activates Dark Hole, destroying all monsters on the field. She then activates Monster Reborn, reviving Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech. She follows up by activating Overlay Regen and attaches it to Machu Mech as Xyz material.
Doremi attacks Shadow Hazuki directly with Machu Mech. She ends.
Shadow Hazuki's turn:
Shadow Hazuki uses DESTINY DRAW to get Monster Reborn.
She activates Limit Reverse and uses it to revive Parsec. She then uses Monster Reborn to revive The White Stone of Legend. She follows this with Tannhauser Gate to make them both Lv9. Finally, she overlays both monsters to Xyz summon Number 9: Dyson Sphere.
Shadow Hazuki attacks Machu Mech with Dyson Sphere. During the Damage Step, she activates Limiter Removal to double Dyson Sphere's ATK. Machu Mech is destroyed.
Doremi LP (0) – Shadow Hazuki LP (1800)
Shadow Hazuki is the winner!
At first, I thought we could be friends. I really did. I was even hoping we could! But then she hurt me…and killed me later on. But I still hold onto the hope that we can get along someday!
What is with this Light Being?! I mean, come on! Does she have to be such an idealistic, happy-go-lucky idiot everywhere she goes?! Give me a break! She should be thanking me for putting her out of her misery that time! And she thinks we're actually going to be friends someday? Hah! Friendships between Shadows and Light Beings don't exist. Never have. And I will prove it once and for all when I beat her!
I warned her not to try befriending her again. Now I have to get her out of this mess! But I have to. Onee-chan isn't herself ever since she lost to Shadow Hazuki and Hazuki-chan isn't any better off, even after Majorin-san healed her injuries. I have to make this one count and win with her if I am to save her.
With me and my partner in crime together, there's no way we can lose! Hey, Onee-chan! Are you getting this? Are you learning from this? Are you? Are you!? ARE YOU?!
Castor Ein and O'Lantern Ein have begun their approach…
A/N: My apologies for any violent content present. However, the duels are those kind of duels…
