This here's the last of the bonus content.
"I play Black Rose Dragon's special ability," Akiza announced, pulling a card out from her graveyard. "By taking a plant card out of play, I can switch one of your monsters into attack mode and take away its attack strength." Yusei stood his ground as Akiza's dragon grabbed hold of one his token monsters.
"I'm gonna win!" she shrieked excitedly as her beast hurled what could've been the final attack.
"You haven't won anything yet," Yusei interrupted with his face-down card. "With Defense Draw, I take no damage from this attack and I get to draw a card from my deck." The shrapnel from the attack scattered around him while his hand count went up to three cards again.
"Slippery little weasel," the dancer playfully said to her opponent.
"This little weasel has a few more tricks up his sleeve," the mechanic hinted as his hand count increased to four cards. "Like Silver Wing: it allows Stardust to absorb up to two attacks every turn." The dragon flashed a bright sky blue for an instant before it faded away.
"And for my next trick, my dragon will destroy yours!" he hollered. Yusei's dragon filled up its lungs and fired a blast of energy towards its target. Fortunately, Akiza had a trick up her sleeve as well.
"By discarding Hedge Guard, my monster will live to see next turn," she explained while her dragon withstood the attack.
"But you're still taking damage," Yusei pointed out while Akiza saw her score drop to 2,400. "Plus I'll set two cards face-down to finish my turn." The backs of two cards materialized into play, signaling the end of Yusei's turn.
"I'm up then," the dancer chipped, drawing to hold three cards. "Let's try Phoenixian Seed." A seed with an eyeball burst onto the field.
"Now what do you say we plant this thing?" she quizzed her opponent as her seed sprouted into a flower. "Meet Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis!" A multi-petal flower, a few of which formed something like a face, sprung into play.
"Have you considered being a botanist?" Yusei asked innocently.
"Maybe, but let's what Black Rose Dragon has to say about that," Akiza winked as she pulled another card out of her graveyard. "Now my dragon powers down yours!" The male duelist watched helplessly as his dragon had its strength squeezed down to zero.
"First, Cluster Amaryllis takes out your last token monster," she continued while her flower fired a series of petals, effortlessly snuffing it out. "Now I play my cluster's special effect: after it attacks, it gets destroyed, and whenever it is destroyed, you take 800 points of damage." Yusei tried to shield himself while his life points decreased to 1,100.
"Plus, since my cluster creature had more than five stars, Revival Rose returns to the field," the dancer signaled as the rose sprouted out of the ground. "Now watch it finish you off!" The rose fired a few of its own petals for its target.
"I play Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" the mechanic interrupted with his trap. "Now your attack is stopped and I can reset my trap card." The petals flanked left and right before the scarecrow flopped face-down again.
"There's still my dragon to finish you off," she seethed as her dragon took its own shot.
"And there's still my other trap: Iron Resolve," he listed with his other trap activating. "By giving up half my life points, I can avoid this attack." His score dropped to 550 as a shield deflected the third attack.
"My turn's still not over," the dancer continued her move. "By taking my seed out of the graveyard, I can bring my cluster back to the field in defense mode." Next to the rose came the cluster in a blue color.
"I'll play this last card face-down and leave it at that," Akiza added to finish her turn.
"If I can't pull a game-changer here, Akiza's gonna win this thing," Yusei thought to himself as his right index and middle fingers rested atop his deck, ready to draw. "Here goes..." He picked up the top card and saw from out of the corner of his eye that it was what he wanted.
"You put up quite a fight Akiza, but this duel's done," the mechanic hinted as he held the winning card in front of his face. "I summon Junk Synchron!" A stout robot in orange armor came into play.
"And with its special ability, I can bring back any monster with two stars or less from my graveyard, like Tuningware," he added as the wok wearing robot rose up from the ground. "Now I tune them together to create Armory Arm!" The two robots disappeared in a bright green light to create a mechanical arm extension.
"Now I draw one card with Tuningware's ability," Yusei added as he made his hand count go up to two. "With this monster, I can equip it to another card on my field and increase its attack points by a thousand." He eyed it as the arm merged with Stardust Dragon, raising its strength to 3,500.
"Now Stardust Dragon, attack Black Rose Dragon!" the wielder yelled while his beast launched a turbo-charged blast.
"I play Sakuretsu Armor, which destroys an attacking monster!" Akiza countered as her last face-down card activated.
"I play Silver Wing's second ability," Yusei interrupted, placing the equip card in his graveyard. "If my dragon would be lost due to a card effect, Silver Wing takes the hit instead." Akiza's mouth dropped in shock as her dragon was blasted in half and her score decreased to 1,300.
"Finally, Armory Arm's second effect activates," he continued. "When the equipped monster destroys another monster in battle, you get hit with that monster's attack points as damage." She gasped as what remained of her dragon fell over her and brought her score to zero. Akiza fell to her knees, not in disappointment, but in amazement and disbelief.
"That was...unreal," the dancer breathed. "You were telling the truth; almost all of your monsters had low strength, yet they combined to create...that dragon."
"That's the nature of dueling," Yusei answered back. "Countless cards exist for duelists to take hold and make them part of a strategy. You have yours and there's nothing you can't with them." He helped her up and she readily wrapped her arms around him.
"You really mean that?" Akiza asked hopefully.
"100 percent of it," Yusei confirmed. "I knew from that day we met that you had potential, and you've showed it in every duel. Perhaps, with enough practice, you could actually defeat me." The dancer rolled her eyes at his last remark and stuck her lips on his.
"That's another duel for another day," she winked in a salacious tone. "Besides, we have the workshop to ourselves for a while longer. What do you say we make the most of it?" She led him back inside and what they did for the time they were alone was anyone's guess. Akiza had shown in the time she was around Yusei and his friends that she was more than just a set of legs, a fantastic chest, and a sculpted body. She had the will to be a champion, but it was Yusei who helped her gain the heart of a champion.
I like that little epilogue thing at the end there. Unless you know what "salacious" means, you won't have an idea of what Akiza and Yusei did after their duel. The story is now officially over. The reviews I've garnered with this are the most I have on any story to date. As for what I have next, I've got two ideas in mind, but you may not see anything from me for some time now. If anyone has any other suggestions that they think I could do, just shoot them to me. One stipulation: they have to be "one-shots." So long for now and thank you for reading.
