Hey guys. This will be my last chapter for this year and I wanted to do this before 2016 comes. This is just a one-shot for my Darkus story. A new deck will be given to Yuki and Kat. AND some Fruitshipping fluff. Takes place between their duel and a few days before the opening championship. Hope you guys enjoy.
Christmas Special Chapter:
It was the 24th of Christmas Eve. Many kids in Maiami City were enjoying the holidays despite that there won't be snow for a while. Many duelists in Duel Schools would go to their homes to enjoy with their families but me and Kat couldn't enjoy this because our family is not here.
I was sitting on a bench in the park looking through my deck and thinking about our families back at home. I sighed. "What am I going to do?" Then I saw someone's feet in front of me. I looked up and saw it was Yuya. "Hey. What are you doing out here?" He asked. I sighed. "I was just thinking. About how my family is. I really do miss them."
"I get the feeling. My dad, Yusho Sakaki, disappeared during a match a long time ago and I had to spend Christmas without him. But I know he'll come back one day. And when he does, we'll be sure to have a happy Christmas!" I smiled at the thought of that. "Anyways, we have a Christmas party at the You Show Duel School. I was wondering if you're interested?" I thought about it and that's when I smiled. "Sure!"
"Alright then! Let's get going! Race ya there!" Yuya said as he ran off and I ran after him.
As we entered the school, I saw that they were about to start the Christmas Party. Yuzu, Gongenzaka, the kids, Sora, Kat, Shuzo, and Yuya's mom,Yoko Sakaki, were here. "Ah! It's Yuki!" Futoshi pointed out. "Merry Christmas!" Yuzu cheered. "Thanks guys." I said as we started the party. We had lots of fun like playing some games and dueling on a duel mat the old way. I then saw a mistletoe under Yuya. I snickered as I made a plan. I went over to Yuzu. "Hey, Yuzu. Can I have a moment?" I asked. She looked confused. "Why?" I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to Yuya. I pushed her a bit to Yuya as she held on to his shoulder but her face was on his chest. They were both blushing like crazy as they turned to me.
"H-Hey! What's the big idea!" I closed my eyes and snickered as I pointed above them and they looked up. They blushed even redder as they saw a mistletoe above them. Everyone else caught on to my little scheme as they snickered too. "You two should now that when a boy and girl stand below a mistletoe, they have to kiss no matter what." I explained as they were stuttering on not knowing what to do.
"Come on, guys! It doesn't have to be a direct kiss on the lips. It can be anywhere in the face." I encouraged them as they faced each other. "U-Um...should we get this over with then?" Yuya asked as she nodded as their faces started getting closer and their faces were getting redder. They both kissed directly on the lips which was not what I was expecting since I probably sure that they didn't hear me the first time. The only other three girls squealed in delight as the other boys covered their eyes in disgust.
They both separated as they looked at the others in shock. "Man. You two would make a good couple. No judging though!" I said as they complained to me about why I did it but i didn't tell as they pouted.
After that, we went straight to the presents. Yuya just got a red and green shirt which he complained about, Yuzu got one of those musical dresses for concerts which she was happy about, the kids got some toys, Sora got himself a teddy bear, Shuzo got new gym uniform, Yoko got some kitchen tools, and that left us with me and Kat's presents. We went to our presents and picked them up. I opened mine and I saw two decks inside. My eyes widened but I wasn't the only one. My sister squealed as she got two decks as well. I looked through them both and mine were Pyrus and Aquas. Kat's were Subterra and Ventus. I was surprised that we both got new cards but what I wondered was who sent them to us.
I shrugged as the others complained that we got new cards and we stuck our tongue out. "Sorry! Better luck next time!" I said to them. "Hey, Yuki! Since you dueled Yuya and Yuzu, I want to have a chance to duel you too!" Sora suggested. I thought about it but I got a better idea. "Actually, Kat hasn't had a lot of action lately so if you can beat her, then I'll challenge." I responded as he pouted. "Are you sure, big bro?" I nodded. "I believe in you, Kat. You should too." She smiled as she nodded.
As we went to the duel field, we watched Sora and Kat standing on opposite sides ready for battle. "Let's got his duel on then! Action Field ON! Field Spell Sweet's Island ACTIVATE!" The computer said as the Solid Vision activated and setted up the field. "Duelist locked in battle! Kicking against the earth dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is newest and greatest evolution of dueling!"
"ACTION-"
"DUEL!"
Turn 1
Kat: 4000
Hand: 5
Sora: 4000
Hand: 5
"I'll start off first! I summon Ventus Mantris!"
Ventus Mantris: Lv. 4 WIND Insect ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1700
"Eh? She's using a different deck?" Tatsuya wondered as I smiled. "So see's testing one of her new decks. Let's see how she does." I said.
"When this monster is normal summoned, I can special summon a lv 4 or below WIND monster from my hand. I special summon Ventus El Condor."
Ventus El Condor: Lv. 3 WIND Spellcaster/Tuner ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000
"And when this monster is special summoned, I can banish one card from my deck and add it to my hand in my End Phase. I banish Ventus Monarus." Kat stated as she took the slipped card and put it in her pocket.
"And now I tune my lv 3 El Condor with my lv 4 Mantris!" As El Condor turned into 3 green rings, Mantris followed going through the rings. "Phoenix with eyes of fierceness, rise up and blow away everything! Synchro Summon! Flap your wings! Level 7! Ventus Skyress!
Ventus Skyress: Lv. 7 WIND Winged-Beast/Synchro ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2400
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Yuzu said in awe as well as Ayu. "I set one card facedown. During the End Phase, I get to add Monarus to my hand. I end my turn." She declared as she added Monarus from her pocket.
Turn 2
Kat: 4000
Hand: 3
Sora: 4000
Hand: 5
"My turn. Draw!"
"I activate the continuous spell Toy Vendor. Now by sending one card from my hand to the graveyard, I can draw one card from my deck. If it's a Fluffal or Edge-Imp monster, I can special summon it but anything else goes to the graveyard. Don't need this." Sora discarded Edge-Imp Sabres as a coin appeared as it was inserted into the machine. "What's it gonna be! Draw!" Sora smirked.
"I've drawn Fluffal Bear!"
Fluffal Bear: Lv. 3 EARTH Fairy ATK: 1200/ DEF: 800
"And now by returning one card from the top of my deck to the graveyard, I can summon Sabres from my graveyard!"
Edge-Imp Sabres: Lv. 3 DARK Fiend ATK: 1200/ DEF: 800
"And now for the moment you've been waiting for! I play the spell Polymerization!" My eyes widened but I calmed down knowing that I might do something unnecessary. "With this spell, I fuse my Fluffal Bear and Edge-Imp Sabres on my field!" The two monsters turned purple and orange respectively before going into the fusion whirlpool. "Claws of the demon! Fangs of the Beast! Become one and reveal a new form and power! Fusion Summon! Appear, horrifying beast that shreds everything! Level 6! Frightfur Bear!"
Frightfur Bear: Lv. 6 DARK Fiend ATK: 2200/ DEF: 1000
"W-Whoa! That thing looks freaky!" Kat said as she freaked out of the monster's appearance. But she failed to notice Sora grab an Action Card. "Ha! Got it! I activate the Action Spell Candy Sour Up!" A bunch of sour candies appeared as Bear ate them and started getting bigger. "This spell boosts one monster's ATK by 1000 until the end of this turn."
Frightfur Bear ATK: 2200-3200
"Battle! Frightfur Bear attack Skyress! Pummeling Paw!" The fusion monster launched it's arm toward Skyress. "I don't think so! I activate Skyress' special ability! When this card battles a monster, both monsters are banished until the end of this turn!" Skyress blew a strong hurricane as both monsters left the field.
"Wow! That's impressive. I'll set one card facedown and end my turn." As Sora ended his turn, both monsters returned to the field.
Ventus Skyress: Lv. 7 WIND Winged-Beast/Synchro ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2400
Frightfur Bear: Lv. 6 DARK Fiend ATK: 2200/ DEF: 1000
"Oh and there's also one more thing. If the monster it banished was a monster of a different attribute, Skyress gains half it's ATK points!"
Skyress ATK: 2700-3800
"Oh. That's not good." Sora said as he started running for an Action Card.
Turn 3
Kat: 4000
Hand: 3
Sora: 4000
Hand: 0
"Alright time to take control of this duel! Draw!"
"I play the spell card Blow Away! Since I control a Ventus monster on my field, one monster on your field is banished until the end of this turn! I banish Frightfur Bear!" Skyress flapped it's wings again as the winds were closing in but Sora grabbed an Action Card at the last minute. "I play the Action Spell Candy Coat! Now for this turn, my monster is unaffected by all your spells and traps!" Frightfur Bear wore the coat as it protected itself from the winds.
"Nice. You reached the Action Card before my spell's effect would take effect. But that won't stop me! I activate the spell Blustering Ventus! This spell let's me banish up to 3 Ventus monsters from my deck and in 3 turns, they return to my deck. I banish Ventus Manion, Ventus Beestriker, and Ventus Falconeer." She declared as 3 cards slipped out of her deck and pocketed them. "What kind of strategy is this?" Tatsuya wondered. "Tatsuya. Kat's strategy is controlling the field and the banished zone at will. She plans to wait for the opportunity to strike her opponent when they are left defenseless. Got that, guys?" I answered as they somewhat understood. "You'll see."
"Now I summon Ventus Monarus in ATK mode!"
Ventus Monarus: Lv. 4 WIND Spellcaster ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1900
"When she's summoned to the field, I can special summon a Ventus monster from my banished zone. I special summon Ventus Manion!"
Ventus Manion: Lv. 3 WIND Winged-Beast ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1100
"And now for it's effect! When this card is special summoned by a card effect, I can add all banished cards to my hand." She said as she added Beestriker and Falconeer to her hand. "Now I see! I've never seen such a strategy like this before!" Gong said.
"Battle! If your monster can't be affected by spells and traps, then I'll destroy it by battle! Go! Skyress! Fire Storm!" Skyress charged as it was covered with green flames.
"I play the trap Punch-In-The-Box! This trap negates your attack and I can send one monster on your field to the graveyard and decrease one monster's ATK by it's ATK or DEF." A box appeared as it springed a punch to Skyress bouncing it back. "Now I'll send Monarus to the graveyard and decrease Skyress' ATK by Monarus' DEF points!" The springed hand grabbed onto Monarus and threw it at Skyress decreasing it's ATK.
Skyress ATK: 2700-800
"Tch. I'll set one card facedown and end my turn." Kat growled.
Turn 4
Kat: 4000
Hand: 2
Sora: 4000
Hand: 0
"Aw don't be sad! It'll be over in no time! I draw!"
"I play the spell Toy Recovery! By returning two monsters that were used for a Frightfur Fusion Summon, I can draw 2 cards. I return Fluffal Bear and Edge-Imp Sabres back to my deck." Two cards slipped from his graveyard as he put them in his deck and shuffled. "Draw."
"I play the equip spell Fusion Weapon. Since my Bear is lv 6, I can equip it to him and he gains 1500 ATK points."
Frightfur Bear ATK: 2200-3700
"Now I activate the continuous spell Toy Parade! With this spell, my monster can attack for every equip spell on it." Kat's eyes widened as she knew what his plan was and she started running for an Action Card. "No you don't!" Sora said as he jumped on his monster's paw and it threw him straight to the Action Card and grabbed it. He grabbed onto a giant candy cane and did some acrobatics a normal kid wouldn't do. 'I knew it. He is one of them.' I thought as I saw his skills.
Sora landed right on Bear's paw with the Action Card in his hand. He looked at it and smirked. "Sorry to burst your bubble but this duel is over. I play the Action Spell Sweet Cover. This prevents my monster from being affected by all card effects this turn." Kat's eyes widened as she knew she can't use Skyress' effect to stop the attack.
"Battle! Now attack Frightfur Bear! Pummeling Paw!" Kat looked in fear but she remembered something.
"I activate Skyress' effect again! Even though I can't effect your Bear, my monster is still banished." Skyress flapped it's wings agains and left the field as Bear's attack missed.
"It doesn't matter. I can still attack your Manion. Now attack!" Bear extended it's paw as it hit Manion.
"I play the trap Damage Diet to halve all damage this turn! Grgh!"
Kat: 4000-2850
"And now for my Bear's effect! When it destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard, I can equip to my monster and gain it's ATK points!" Bear grabbed Manion and ate it as it got bigger.
Frightfur Bear ATK: 3700-5100
"Andsince I have another equip card, I can attack again! Now I attack directly!" Bear extended it's paw and hit Kat and sent her flying. "AAAAAHHHHH!"
Kat: 2850-300
"Well you survive this turn. I guess I'll end my turn for now." Sora declared.
Ventus Skyress: Lv. 7 WIND Winged-Beast/Synchro ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2400
"Wow! Kat barely made it out of that one." Yuzu said. "I don't even know if she can take anymore of this." Ayu worried but I reassured them. "Don't worry guys. I taught her how to be tough so she will get out of this one. I'm sure."
Turn 5
Kat: 300
Hand: 2
Sora: 4000
Hand: 0
"My turn. I draw!" She smirked at the card she drew. "Sora! Starting now this duel is over! I play the spell Green Formation - Violent Winds! This spell can only be activated when Skyress and no other monsters on my field is on the field. This card doubles it's ATK points!" A green aura surrounded Skyress as it gained power.
Skyress ATK: 2700-5400
"5-5400 ATK points!?" Sora exclaimed. "And that's not all! I play the trap I set on my first turn! I activate Storms of Destruction! When a Ventus monster I control destroys a monster by battle, you'll take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK points!" Sora gasped as he started running again. "Not this time! Skyress! Blow away the Action Card!" Skyress flapped it's wings at one Action Card close to Sora and it blew away high into the air which he growled which he knew he couldn't possibly reach it. It eventually went to her hand and her eyes widened as she smirked. "It's time for a change in scenery! I play this Action Spell called Extra Stage - Christmas Time!" The field eventually changed as the candies were covered in snow and Christmas decorations surrounded the area.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Ayu said in awe.
"Battle! Skyress attack Frightfur Bear! Go! Violent Winds!" Skyress charged in and destroyed Frightfur Bear. "Grgh!"
Sora: 4000-3700
"And now you take 5100 points of damage from your monster's ATK. I win!" The winds blew harder as Sora was blown away and landed into some cream. "AAAAHHHH!" Sora groaned as he got out.
Kat: 300(Winner)
Sora: 0
As the field died down, both duelists went up to each other and shook hands. "That was a good game, Sora." Kat commented. "You too! Man! I almost had you there!" Sora grinned.
It was late at night, that we spent the rest of the evening until some people started to leave to their homes. Me and Kat were out walking until we came across someone at the park who looked to be a kid wearing a blue hoodie with a hat inside the hood and some short pants. 'What's a kid doing out in the middle of nowhere?' I wondered. I walked up to him. "Hey kid. What are you doing out here?" I asked.
He turned to me and had an emotionless expression as he answered. "W-Why do you ask?"
"Just curious. Where's your home from here?" I asked. He pointed at the LDS building. "There? Well then. I'll take you home if that's okay with you." I said and he nodded. "I'll see ya back at the house, Kat."
"Alright. Just don't stay out too late!" Kat answered as she started walking to the house.
After walking to the LDS building, we stood at the entrance. "Alright, kid. This is where we part ways." I said. "See ya around." I started to walk away until he grabbed my wrist. I turned to him and kneeled down to his level. "What's up?"
He looked at me and then started to give me a card. "Huh? What's this?" I asked. My eyes widened at the card. "This is..." I started but shut my mouth as I looked at the kid. "Hey, kid. What's your name?" I asked.
"R-Reira." He answered. I smiled as I took a card from my pocket.
"Why don't you take this?" I gave him a card that was left over from one of my decks.
"W-Why? Why would you go so far for me?" I smiled to his response.
"It's something I do to keep people happy. Besides. I don't like seeing the sad face of someone like you." He gasped as he let out a small smile. "Thank you."
"Well. See ya around." I waved as I started to walk away. As I was walking, I looked up the sky to see the first full moon on Christmas in a long time. "Things are about to get interesting now." I said as I looked at me two new decks and started to put them away.
And done. Originally, I was planning I putting this up on Christmas but I was busy partying a lot and was so tired I couldn't think properly. Anyway, again. Merry Christmas to you guys and have a Happy New Year for 2016! And next time! A new season is about to begin with Yuki and Kat having 2 new decks for the tournament, let's see how thing go for them! New Story will be called "Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: The New Arc Challengers" and thank you Konami for 20 years of Yu-Gi-Oh! See ya folks because the fun has only just begun!
