The Duel Continues on…
Laura just took the stage with only one face-down card left by Ryan and she faced Raquel with the Black Dragon Knight (Lv.8 3600/3300) equipped with the Leech Spider (Lv.4 1500/1500) monster, Archnashingami (Lv.4 1900/1000), Solemn Wishes Trap, and a face-down card.
Laura (LP 4000): *draws* I'll set this monster face-down in defense mode and one card face-down! That ends my turn!
Raquel (LP 4000): *draws, gains 500 Life Points* First, Arachnashingami will attack your face-down monster!
Raquel paid 500 Life Points and Arachnashingami attacked Laura's face-down monster, which was Nature Sprite Vy (Lv.4 1600/0), but she was not destroyed.
Laura: Vy can't be destroyed in battle and when she attacks, you take 800 points of damage!
Raquel (LP 4000): I activate Effect Decoy. Now whenever effect damage is supposed to be dealt to me, it will be dealt to you instead.
Vy's shadow extended to Raquel and cut her hand, but was defelcted back at Laura, inflicting 800 points of damage to her.
Raquel: And since I'm dealing you damage, I'll attack again!
Black Dragno Knight attacked Vy, but she was not destroyed and her effect and Raquel's Effect Decoy inflicted Laura with 800 more points of damage.
Raquel: I'll end my turn with one more card face-down!
Laura (LP 2400): *draws*
Raquel: I activate my second Solemn Wishes! Now I'll gain 1000 Life Points when I draw a card!
Laura: I activate the Spell Card Natural Swap! This allows me to return a Nature Sprite I control back to my Deck, increase my Life Points equal to its attack points and Special Summon another Nature Sprite from my Deck! I return Vy back to my Deck, increase my Life Points by 1600 and summon Nature Sprite Wyt (Lv.3 1400/500) in defenses mode!
Vy returned to Laura's Deck and increased her Life Points and Wyt appeared onto the field.
Laura (LP 4000): I'll now set one monster in defense mode and end my turn!
Raquel: My goodness, your strategy is so annoying. *draws, gains 1000 Life Points* Black Dragon Knight, attack her face-down monster!
Black Dragon Knight slashed Laura's face-down monster, but the card just dispersed into light and reformed into a fairy with a glowing golden dress and blonde hair.
Laura: You just attacked Nature Sprite Binae (Lv.3 800/800), who can't be destroyed in battle and when attacked, increases my Life Points by 600!
Raquel (LP 5000): How feeble. I'll end my turn with another face-down and switch Arachnashingami to defense mode!
As soon as Raquel ended her turn, Leech Spider de-attached itself from Black Dragon Knight and he switched to Laura's side of the field.
Laura (LP 4600): What just happened? Not that I'm complaining, but…
Raquel: Ugh, let me put this in a way your pathetic mind can comprehend. During m 3rd End Phase after I activate Leech Spider's effect, the monster it's equipped to goes back to its owner's field and Leech Spider is summoned in defense mode.
Laura: Oh… cool. *draws* First, I activate Polymerization to fuse Binae with Nature Sprite Eoch in my hand to create Nature Sprite Binoch (Lv.7 2800/1800)!
A sprite with diamonds over most of her body carrying a hammer made of hard gems was created from the two monsters.
Laura: And first, I'll have Black Dragon Knight attack your Leech Spider!
Black Dragon Knight slashed Leech Spider in two, destroying it.
Laura: And now Binoch will attack your Arachnashingami! And when she attacks a monster, I can switch its Battle Position!
Arachnashingami switched to attack mode and Binoch crushed it to pieces with her hammer, destroying it and inflicting 900 points of damage to Raquel. A piece of the shattered ground also hit Raquel.
Laura: Oh, and when Binoch destroys a monster, you take 1000 points of damage! And I'll end my turn right there!
Raquel (LP 3100): *draws, gains 1000 Life Points* You fool! You fell right into my ploy. I activate the Trap Wall of Revealing Light! And I pay 4000 Life Points so you can't have a monster with less than that number of attack points attack me. And now that I have 100 Life Points, I can Arachnacard (Lv.0 3600/3300)!
The spider on Raquel's shoulder jumped onto the field and transformed itself into the giant spider with a scorpion tail and pincers.
Colin fell backward out of his seat at the sight of Arachnacard. He was shaking with fear over the giant Spider.
Colin: I-I-I-I-I-
Colin ran out into the hall and shook off the creepy feeling of the spider.
Colin: Gyyaahh! I hate spiders!
Raquel (LP 2100): Are you scared now, little girl? When I summon Arachnacard, I gain 2000 Life Points! And now he'll attack your fairy!
As Arachnacard shot its venom beams from its fangs at Binoch, Laura remembered something.
(Flashback)
Ryan was about to get off the stage and whispered something to Laura.
Ryan: *whispers* That card I placed, she'll summon a card named Arachnacard. Only activate that card after it attacks.
(End Flashback)
The venom beam shot right though Binoch and hit Laura, inflicting her with 800 points of damage.
Raquel: When Arachnacard inflicts damage to you, you'll take 700 points of damage during each of your Standby Phases. And that's real venom coursing through your veins, so when your Life Points hit 0, you'll actually die. No great loss.
Laura (LP 3800): Oh, I see. Now it makes sense… I activate the Trap Blessing of Simochi!
Raquel: What's that?
Laura: It's nothing big. Just when I lose Life Points due to a card effect, I actually gain them instead!
A starry light whirlwind surrounded Laura and "cured" her of Arachnacard's venom.
Raquel: Wh-You-You can't do that!
Laura: Why not?
Raquel: 'Cause that's something I would do! You're stealing my strategy!
Laura: Well, it's my turn now! *draws, gains 700 Life Points* First, I'll use Pot of Greed to draw 2 more cards! *draws 2 cards* Then I'll use Premature Burial to bring back Binoch at the cost of 800 Life Points!
Laura paid 800 Life Points and Binoch was resurrected.
Laura (LP 3700): Now I activate De-Fusion to separate her back into Eoch and Binae!
Binoch then separated into its Fusion Materials Eoch and Binae.
Laura: And then I summon the Tuner Nature Sprite Zanwa (Lv.3 800/600)! And then I'll tune all three of my Nature Sprites together to Synchro Summon Nature Sprite Myraia (Lv.10 4000/3500)! And then I'll equip her with the Equip Spell Hidden Element to increase her attack power by 600, so now she's strong enough to pass through your Wall of Revealing Light!
Raquel: *mutters* No… Arachnacard…
Laura: Myraia, attack Arachnacard!
Myraia charged up a rainbow-colored energy sphere in her hands and turned it into a beam that she shot at Arachnacard. The attack pierced straight through it and destroyed it, inflicting 1000 points of damage to Raquel.
In his private box, Ringford was sitting in his chair with his hand over his mouth and his right leg shaking. He was quite distraught with the duel.
Ringford: It's like Team Iron Legend all over again.
He grunted in agony upon seeing Arachnacard destroyed.
Ringford: I need some insurance.
He then gets up and leaves his private suite.
Raquel looked down, clenched her teeth and had both of her hands in fists.
Raquel (LP 1100): You… cold… heartless… bitch!
Laura: Excuse me? You're the one who's a cold, heartless bitch! You treat us all like we're beneath you and use us as pawns!
Raquel: At least I never killed one of your friends!
Laura: No, but you threw a baby off a cliff!
Raquel: BECAUSE I HAD TO! I had to…
Raquel's eyes began to tear up.
Raquel: I am not a murderer! That is not what I believe.
Laura: What do you believe?
Raquel: I believe in what the Umbra stand for. Raza told me that Sheh wants to improve the lives of all who live in this world. That is why he wishes to open Eden to us.
Laura: Is cold, heartless killing and ruining lives really worth that?
Raquel: It must be done. No one wants a perfect world, so they resist…I want a perfect world! I want a world where a parent doesn't abandon their child…A world with no jealousy, anger, or greed…Everyone else does not want that…therefor I look down on them like the dogs you are!
Laura: …I end my turn with a face down!
Raquel: *draws*
Laura: Before you gain Life Points, I activate the Trap Bad Reaction to Simochi! Now when your Life Points increase, you lose that number instead!
Raquel (LP 100): I activate the Spell Foolish Burial to send my Arachnashonshi (Lv.8 2900/2900) from my Deck to the Graveyard! *sends card to Graveyard* Then I activate Monster Reborn to bring it back! And then I'll use his effect! I can decrease its Level so I can inflict you with 100 points of damage for each Level removed! I change him to Level 0 so he can inflict you with 800 points of damage!
Arachnashonshi spewed venom from its mouth at Laura, but due to the effect of Blessing of Simochi, she gained 800 Life Points instead.
Raquel: And now I equip Arachnashonshi with Heartbreaker so he can attack you directly!
Arachnashonshi shot another stream of venom at Laura and inflicted her with 2900 points of damage.
Raquel: Damn you...Damn you!
Laura (LP 1600): *draws* Myraia, destroy her Arachnashonshi!
Myraia shot a burst of light at Arachnashonshi, destroying it and sending Raquel's life points down to 0.
Laura (LP 1600): You lose! How's it feel? !
Raquel said Nothing as she left the stage, in a fury.
Raquel (LP 0): *Thinks: How Dare you All Look Down on ME? ! HOW DARE YOU? !*
Colin was still in the hall, sitting against the wall, waiting for the end of the duel.
Colin: Spiders! Why did it have to be Spiders? !
Ringford: Well now, what are we doing?
Colin looked up and saw Ringford walking toward him. Colin quickly got off the floor.
Colin: What the Hell do you want?
Ringford: I come with a proposal for you.
Colin: I thought I made it clear I'm not taking any of your stupid deals!
Ringford merely chuckled.
Ringford: You know...Roth Rankshaw was found dead after your deal in Vegas.
Colin: Good riddance.
Ringford: What's troubling about it is...I found an eye witness who saw Rita kill him.
Colin: THAT'S COMPLETE BULLSHIT!
Ringford: Of course it is! But that's not what matters here! What matters here is that I WILL Forge the evidence. I WILL have people testify and I WILL send your little whore away for Life Unless you throw the duel!
Colin clenched his hands in anger not sure how to respond.
Ringford: Pretty girls like her don't do well in prison. I'm sure you will make the right choi-
Ringford was thrown against the concrete wall, by Colin. A Black Aura surrounded Colin's Entire Arm and both of his eyes were blood red. Colin Grabbed Ringford's Neck and Started to Crush His windpipe.
Colin: YOU. LEAVE HER. ALONE! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER, YOU WILL DIE A PAINFUL DEATH, YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Colin then tossed him aside and Ringford took a second to catch his breath.
Ringford: You are finished...YOu HEar ME? FINISHED!
Ringford then fled as Colin's eyes returned to normal and the dark aura disappeared. He rubbed his head as he had a sudden shot of sharp pain.
Colin: *Thinks: Knossoss? What did you do?*
Knossoss: Nothing. That was you who did that.
Colin shook his head and returned to the team and took his seat next to Rita.
Rita: Everything all right, Now?
Colin: Yeah, I'm fine now.
Colin looked on to the stage as Desiree took the stage for the next match...
