Author's Reasons: I suddenly got into Yu-Gi-Oh and decided this would be best to quell it.
Important Notes: I'm using Cards that were lying around in my room. (Most of them are fake because they were bought from a cheap bookstore. What? I was young OK!) Oh I'm also using the Anime Effect (Specifically the original Japanese but if I can't translate it then I'm following the English Anime effect)
Disclaimer: Do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! It belongs to Konami. Though I do own something that appears at the Author's Note at the end of the preview.
And so… it begins… .
This will hurt. Probably a lot. Oh well nothing to do about it now… .
"Here they are folks! The mysterious Vanitas, the master of these new 'Xyz' Monsters that only he seem's to have! He'll be going up against the person who's impact from the first round is still fresh in mind; the Black Rose Witch Izayoi Aki!" The MC announced as me and Aki stared each other down.
"Let's try not to kill each other… ." I muttered to her as the MC announced that the Duel will be played Standing, but she made no reaction. A few minutes after the crowd muttering to each other, Aki activated her Duel Disk. I activated my custom one as well. "Duel." We stated, with Akiza quickly Drawing first. "I Summon Violet Witch in Attack Mode." She stated calmly, as the Monster woman dressed like a plant appeared onto the Field.
Violet Witch:
Attribute: DARK/Level: 4/Type: Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 1100/DEF: 1200
Effect: When this Card is sent from your side of the Field to the Graveyard, add 1 Plant Type Monster with 1500 DEF or less from your Deck to your Hand
"And then, I'll activate the Field Magic Black Garden from my Hand." Gee, nice to know that my presence doesn't change what Card they Drew or how they'll play them… . She's going to make this too easy… . "I set one Card Face-Down and End my Turn." She stated calmly.
Aki: Hand: 3/Monster(s): 1/Face-Up(s): 1/Face-Down(s): 1
Vanitas: Hand: 5/Monster(s): None/Face-Up(s): None/Face-Down(s): None
"Izayoi has come out with her Black Garden already! On the opposition, how will Vanitas responds!-?" Man that MC is starting to get annoying… .
"Cute garden. Too bad it's going to get taken down sooner or later." I told her. Yeah, I'm into the dark shit. Got a problem? "Ore no Turn. Draw." Unlike most other Duelist who making Drawing so dramatic, I simply Drew my Card slowly, before looking at it. It was Dual Summon. I look at my Hand, and it consisted of Level Eater, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Angel's Charity, Unity Power and Call of the Living Dead.
"I activated the Magic Card; Angel's Charity. I Draw 3 Cards, and then Discard two." I explained quickly, Drawing three Cards from my Deck. They were Giant Shadow of Egoism, Enemy Controller and Skill Successor. Thank you Lady Luck! Without telling her which one, I Discarded my Cards. "I Set a Monster Card, and then Set two more Cards in my back-row." I stated, doing so. "Turn End."
Aki: Hand: 3/Monster(s): 1/Face-Up(s): 1/Face-Down(s): 1
Vanitas: Hand: 4/Monster(s): 1/Face-Up(s): None/Face-Dow(s): 2
"Oh! Vanitas has put on a solid defense! Will Izayoi break through!-?" The MC wasn't the only one wondering that, I just knew.
"Watashi no Turn. Draw! Battle; Violet Witch, attack his Face-Down Monster!" Aki ordered her Monster, which shot red energy beams from her staff that managed to destroy the Face-Down Level Eater. She stared, as if waiting for me to activate a Trap. Better not activate it just yet, I'll do it at the End of her Turn. "… Now I Summon Phoenixian Seed in Defense Mode." That has got to be the ugliest seed I have ever seen. Well, at least it's grown up form looks way better.
Phoenixian Seed:
Attribute: FIRE/Level: 2/Type: Plant/Effect
ATK: 800/DEF: 0
Effect: You can send this Face-Up Card to the Graveyard to Special Summon one 'Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis' from your Hand.
"Because of Black Garden's Effect, you'll get a Rose Token in Attack Mode while my Phoenixian Seed's Attack Points are halved." Aki explained, the Token appearing onto my Field while Black Garden's thorns whipped themselves onto Phoenixian Seed and halving it's Attack.
Rose Token:
Attribute: DARK/Level: 2/Type: Plant/Token
ATK: 800/DEF: 800
Effect: Special Summoned by the Effects of 'Black Garden'. Cannot be Destroyed by Battle and cannot declare an Attack.
"A Rose Token Summoned through this Effect cannot be destroyed by Battle nor launch an Attack." Aki explained. "By the way, I activate the Permanent Trap; Rose Flame! Every time a Plant Monster is Summoned on your side of the Field, it will inflict 500 points of Damage to you." And with no warning what so ever, Rose Flame shot petals on fire right at me!
Aki: 4000/Vanitas: 3500
F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck… . F*CK!
SON OF A BITCH THAT HURT!
"Augh… ." I let out in pain. Regaining my breath, I began the trash talking. "Now that… hurt… ." Okay, now that wasn't much but hey; I tried. "So, do you End?"
She narrowed her eyes, as if thinking I was up to something. "I Set one Card Face-Down and End." Maybe I should've played mind games with her. At least then I wouldn't have to deal with an extra Trap or Magic Card… .
Aki: Hand: 2/Monster(s): 2/Face-Up(s): 2/Face-Down(s): None
Vanitas: Hand: 4/Monster(s): 1/Face-Up(s): None/Face-Down(s): 2
"Ore no Turn. Draw." It was… Bolt Hedgehog… . Hey buddy long time no see.
Mew.
Why do you 'mew' anyway? You're not a cat.
Mew, Mew!
Fine fine. "I activate my Permanent Trap; Call of the Living Dead. It's called that because I get to Special Summon one Monster Card from my Graveyard. Izayoi, say hello to Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!" I stated, as one of the Cards I discarded with Angel's Charity was said Card.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon:
Attribute: LIGHT/Level: 8/Type: Dragon/Effect
ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500
Effect: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your Hand) by Tributing 2 Monsters you control with 2000 or more ATK. When this Card battles an opponent's monster, during the Battle Step; you can Banish this Card and that Monster. The Monsters Banished by this Effect are Special Summoned at the end of the Battle Phase. If the Banished Monster was an Xyz Monster, this Card gains 500 ATK for each Xyz Material that monster had when it was Banished.
"Black Garden's Effect activates. Your Dragon's ATK is halved, and I get a Rose Token." Aki stated, the Garden whipping Galaxy-Eyes in the process while the MC and the crowd roared at the sight (for different reasons).
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon:ATK: 3000 → 1500
Rose Token:
Attribute: DARK/Level: 2/Type: Plant/Token
ATK: 800/DEF: 800
Effect: Special Summoned by the Effects of 'Black Garden'. Cannot be Destroyed by Battle and cannot declare an Attack.
"This is intense folks! Vanitas had managed to Special Summon out a tremendously powerful Dragon Type Monster on his second Turn! But due to Black Garden's Effect; it's strength has been cut in half! What will Vanitas do now!-?" The MC and the crowd wondered.
"Those Tokens are going to be your downfall." I stated, ignoring them. "I activate Level Eater's Effect! If there's a Level 5 or higher Monster on the Field, then Level Eater gets to take one Star and use it to revive itself! The familiar Lady Bug came out of my Graveyard, passing through Galaxy-Eyes on the way.
Level Eater:
Attribute: DARK/Level: 1/Type: Insect/Effect
ATK: 600/DEF: 0
Effect: If this Card is in the Graveyard; then you can reduce the Level of one Level 5 or higher Monster by 1 to Special Summon this Card from the Graveyard.
"And yeah, I know; a Rose Token is Special Summoned onto your Field while Level Eater's ATK is cut in half."
Level Eater: ATK: 600 → 300
"Now I'll Summon Bolt Hedgehog in Defense Mode." My Duel Spirit appear in it's bright orange fur, before changing to blue.
Bolt Hedgehog:
Attribute: EARTH/Level: 2/Type: Machine/Effect
ATK: 800/DEF: 800
Effect: If you control a Face-Up Tuner Monster; then you can Special Summon this Card from the Graveyard. If this Card was Summoned this way, Banish it when it leaves the Field.
"And there's your final Rose Token." I said with a smirk while Aki shown slight worry as all her Monster Card Zone had been filled. With only one real Monster filling it.
"Amazing! Vanitas had managed to use Black Garden to his advantage! Now Izayoi has no choice but to Summon out a Level 5 or higher Monster if she ever wants to use her Monster Card Zone!" The MC stated as the crowd cheer, but I ignored them as usual.
"But why stop there? I play the Equip Magic Card; Unity Power! I chose one Monster on the Field, and for every Monster on my side of the Field, it gains 800 ATK, including itself! And the Monster I choose is my Galaxy Eyes!" Level Eater and Bolt glowed in a bright yellow aura, which transferred itself into Galaxy Eyes.
Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon: ATK: 1500 → 3900
"And he even managed to restore the Attack Points of his Monster, not to it's former glory but about a 1000 points higher! What will this young man do next!-?" The crowd waited in anticipation. They new with his mysterious Cards that no one had ever heard about he could pull off amazing strategies but not like this!
I could play Giant Shadow of Egoism when Galaxy Eyes attack… but I have no idea what that Trap Card is… . Better save it for later. "Now go Galaxy Eyes! Attack a Rose Token!" Galaxy Eyes charged a tremendous amount of photon energy in it's mouth, before blasting it into a Rose Token. Surprisingly yet unsurprisingly, the Rose Token survived unscathed.
Aki: 900/Vanitas: 3500
… . What nothing? Seriously? Guess it was just a bluff… . Good thing I still got my backups… . "So the Face-Down is a bluff huh? Too bad. Cause this Duel ends now. I activate the Quickplay Spell; Enemy Controller! It has two Effects. One of them allows me to take control of one of your Monsters if I Tribute one of mine. And I Tribute my Level Eater so I can take control of your Violet Witch!" The controller appeared in front of Level Eater and connected to Violet Witch. Level Eater pressed some buttons and accidentally shocked itself and thus gotten destroyed. But, the command it inputed caused Violet Witch to enter my side of the Field.
"You say the Duel will end with your Turn, but yet the difference of Attack Points between Violet Witch and a Rose Token isn't enough to deplete my Life Points." Aki pointed out.
"Which is why I play the Quick-Play Magic Card; Giant Shadow of Egoism!" Cue the tremendous amount of sweatdrops that appeared behind the spectators heads when they heard the name of the Card. "Don't let the name fool you, because this Card allows me to increase the Attack Points of one Monster by 1000 until the end of the Battle Phase!" Cue the gasp now. "Violet Witch! End this Duel!" Alongside it's giant purple aura, Violet Witch let out power energy beams from it's staff (or was it staves) which depleted Aki of her life Points.
Aki: 0/Vanitas: 3500
So what do you think? I think this idea has a LOT of potential. BTW, if you're wondering... I put together the Deck in my room, shuffle the HELL OUT OF IT, and pretend I was Dueling Aki. So it'll be kinda realistic. (So some flamer who read this can't say 'Of course you won. *Insert Reason Here*' or something along those lines) Also; I made an... 'original' Card to give to Vanitas (yes this Card is important in the story).
Evil HERO Susanoo:
Attribute: DARK, Level: 12, Type: Fusion/Warrior/Effect
ATK: 5000/DEF: 5000
Effect: This Card can only be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by removing 'Elemental HERO Escuridao' from play. It cannot be Special Summoned by any other ways. This Card is not affected by the Effects of other Monsters, Spells and Traps. This Card's attack increase by 500 with the number of Monsters in the Graveyard and Removed from Play. By Banishing Cards from your Hand; you can destroy Cards on the Field equal to the number of Cards you Removed from Play.
Yes, I know it's kinda overpowered. It's supposed to. It has it's own backstory of how it came to be. But I'm not telling. Might tell it to an Author who wants to use the Card for his/her own story though. Please review. I want to know what you think of Susanoo.
