Thetrueazure: Well you guys are going to get ready
Ritsu: You're going to shut up!
Thetrueazure: No! We're doing the second to last duel. Enjoy the chapter.
Kazuma: We're not doing the disclaimer because you already know it.
"Sorry, but something like that won't take out my resolve! And this card will prove it!" Satoshi held up a spell card "I activate the equip card (Azure) Flames of Resolve!"
"That's Satoshi's key spell!" Akira said
"I can only equip this card to a level 7 or higher dragon type synchro monster, like Apollo!" Apollo started to glow brighter "Now when he battles, he gains half the attack points of his attack target, and when he successfully destroys a monster in battle, you take damage equal to half the attack points of the destroyed monster!"
"Go Apollo!" Nami yelled
"Attack Odin with all your might!" Apollo flew towards the ceiling and produced a mass of flames in his hands.
"Nova Hell Flame!" Satoshi and Nami said at the same time as Apollo fired a massive fireball with his new found power (2800-5200)
Odin tried his best to best the flames, but they were too much for the god to handle.
Satoshi/Nami: 900
Miharu/Shinji: 3750
"Flames of Resolves effect activates!" A large heat wave struck Shinji and Miharu
Satoshi/Nami: 900
Miharu/Shinji: 1350
"And now this duel is over because I activate Apollo's ability! Discarding Vice Dragon from my hand in order to inflict 500 points of damage with an additional 200 points times the cards level because to was a dragon type!"
"All together that's 1500 points of damage!" Keira said
Shinji smiled "I guess we lost."
"Yeah, but it was fun though." Miharu agreed
"Apollo! End this now!" Apollo fired a volley of fireballs at Shinji and Miharu.
Satoshi/Nami: 900: Winner
Miharu/Shinji: 0
"You two have passed our test." Miharu said "Congratulations."
Ch.39 Clash of the Elements; Earth's Final Days
Akira and the gang were heading towards where Ritsu was.
"What are we going to do about Krad's darkness?" Keira asked Akira
Akira shook his head "I'm not sure, I'm afraid of what might happen."
"Don't worry about it, we know Ritsu will pull through!" Satoshi said as Nami nodded in agreement
"Yes, Ritsu saved Krad before, and he'll do it again."
"Are you ready Iris?" Kazuma asked as he put on his duel disk. "The Earth User is no pushover."
Iris giggled "That's sweet, your worried about me." Kazuma blushed "Don't worry, I beat you so I should be able to hold my own. You should focus on your duel against the Light User."
Kazuma chuckled "Yeah, something tells me it's going to be an all out war between us. Let's go." Kazuma walked off
"Hey! Wait for me!" Iris ran towards him.
Ritsu, Terra, Kurogasa, and Kuraki finally made it to the door, and all that was stopping them was a large hallway and a giant door.
"We finally made it!" Terra said as he fell over "Man I'm tired."
Kurogasa chuckled lightly "I hear ya. Ritsu, let's go." Kurogasa and co. were about the walk through the hallway when Ritsu stopped them "What's wrong Ritsu?"
"We're not out of the woods yet." Ritsu said "Isn't that right Kazuma!"
"So your finally able to sense my presence after one encounter? One of the many abilities the Light User has." Kazuma and Iris stepped out of the door and confronted them "Been awhile."
"Move out of my way Kazuma!" Ritsu yelled "As you can see I'm not in the best of moods."
Kazuma smiled "Really? Then I guess you'll give it your all then, because the only way your getting through is if you beat Iris and me!" Kazuma stepped back "Your up Iris, I'll duel the Light User when your done."
Iris puffed her cheeks "Why do I have to go first?"
"Because I believe in you." Kazuma smiled, making her blush
"Wow, that's the first time I've actually seen him smile." Iris thought when she activate her duel disk "Alright, who's the Earth User?"
Terra walked up "That would be me. My name is Terra." Terra said as he activated his duel disk
"My name is Iris Rose, now get ready!" Both duelists drew their opening hand
Iris/Terra: DUEL!
Iris: 4000
Terra: 4000
"Ladies first!" Iris drew her sixth card " I summon The Warrior of Light (4/1900/1400) in attack mode!" A warrior in clad blue armor wearing a horned helmet wielding a sword with a orange gem and 5 orange strings at the end and a shield with the sing of light appeared on the field. "I'll set one card face down and end my turn." One reverse card appeared.
"Then I guess I'm up!" Terra drew his card "I'll set one card face down and end my turn!" One reverse card appeared on the field
"That's it? Terra must not have got a good hand." Kuraki said
"He's going to have a tough time gaining field advantage." Ritsu said
"That's all? Well then, my move!" Iris drew her next card "Warrior of Light, attack him directly!" The light warrior dashed towards Terra with his sword ready.
"I play my trap card Negate Attack!" A barrier appeared in front of Terra, blocking the sword strike "Your attack and battle phase are canceled!"
"Not bad." Kazuma said "But it'll take a lot more than that."
"I'll end my turn by summoning Cecil the Split Soul (4/2000/1400) in attack mode!" A man with silver hair and white armor carrying a lance appeared on the field "And since I control another monster, The Warrior of Light gains 200 attack points!" The Warrior of Light began to glow with more power (1900-2100)
"2 monsters with over 2000 attack points!" Kurogasa said "Let's hope Terra has a strategy."
"I hope so too." Terra thought as he drew his card, he smirked "Finally! I activate the spell card Double Summon to summon twice! So I summon Scrap Goblin (3/0/500)!" A little machine with a camera for a body appeared on the field "And since you control monsters, I can special summon Scrap Breaker (6/2100/700) in attack mode!" A giant machine with two clubs appeared on the field "The cost of this is that a Scrap monster I control has to bite the dust which is why I summoned Scrap Goblin!" Hot steam destroyed the little fiend "Next I summon Scrap Chimera (4/1700/500) in attack mode!" A rusty metal Chimera appeared on the field.
"Two monsters in one turn." Kazuma said
"Why don't we make it three! I activate my Chimera's ability letting me bring back a Scrap tuner from my graveyard, like my Scrap Goblin!" The chimera roared as the little fiend appeared on it's back "Now I tune my level 4 Scrap Chimera with my level 3 Scrap Goblin!" Scrap Goblin turned into three synchro gates and encircled Scrap Chimera, turning him into four stars
From the depths of the earth comes a demon whose powers rival that of a machine, bust through the surface with your metal armor! Synchro Summon! The demon of scrap! Scrap Archfiend (7/2700/1800)!
The mechanical version of Summoned Skull appeared on the field with a deafening battle cry.
"Alright! Terra's also got two monsters with over 2000 attack points!" Kuraki said in excitement
"Scrap Breaker! Attack her Cecil!" Scrap Breaker charged at the warrior with it's two clubs
"I play the trap card (Azure) Split Guard!" A barrier was put up in front of Cecil "If I control Cecil, he cannot be destroyed in battle."
"You still take damage!" A small jolt hit Iris
Iris: 3900
Terra: 4000
"Scrap Archfiend, attack The Warrior of Light! Scrap Beatdown!" Scrap Archfiend threw a giant fist at the light warrior, crushing him in one blow
Iris: 3300
Terra: 4000
"I'll throw two cards face down and end my turn." Two reverse cards appeared on the field
"My draw!" Iris drew her next card "I activate my Double Summon, so now I summon Tifa the Feint Brawler (4/1600/1400) and Zidane the Aerial Angel of Death (4/2000/1700) in attack mode!" Iris's duel spirit appeared on the field wielding two daggers and a female warrior with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes wearing a black trench coat.
Zidane yawned "Oh hey Iris, what are you doing?"
Iris sighed "In the middle of a duel, look in front of you." Iris gestured in front of him. He turned to see Terra's monsters staring him down.
"Well this is a wake up call."
"I activate Tifa's special ability! Once a turn I'm allowed to destroy one monster you control!" Tifa threw an energy blast at Scrap Archfiend, destroying it completely "Next I equip Zidane with Ultima Weapon! Now if he battles, he gains 1500 attack points!" Zidane's two daggers disappeared and a dual bladed lance appeared in his hand. "Attack his Breaker now!"
"On it!" Zidane dashed towards Breaker with his ultimate weapon (2000-3500)
Iris: 3300
Terra: 2600
"Cecil, Tifa! Double attack, now!" Tifa and Cecil dashed towards Terra
"I play the trap card Call of the Haunted to bring back my Scrap Archfiend!" The metal demon appeared in front of the two warriors, stopping their attacks.
"Not bad, I activate Spellbook Inside the Pot!" Both players drew three times "I'll now set two cards face down and end my turn." Two reverse cards appeared
"Then I guess It's my go." Terra drew his card "I summon the tuner monster Scrap Mind Reader (1/0/0) in attack mode!" Terra's signature tuner appeared next to Scrap Archfiend
"Golem is coming!" Ritsu said
"I tune my level 7 Scrap Archfiend with my level 1 Scrap Mind Reader!" Scrap Mind Reader turned into one synchro gate and encircled Scrap Archfiend, turning it into seven stars
Mother earth calls forth her greatest protector to fight the evil that's coming! Behold the power that moves the very mountains themselves! Synchro summon! The dragon of earth, (Azure) Golem-The Dragon of the Earth (8/2800/3000)!
"Shall we get started!"
"Right, but first I play Card of Sanctity!" Both player drew until they were holding six cards "Next I activate Golem's ability, taking away 400 points from you!" Golem caused the room to shake, making Iris lose her balance
Iris: 2900
Terra: 2600
"Iris, you OK?" Zidane asked
Iris nodded "I'm fine."
"Don't worry Iris, I'll take out this old geezer."
"Who are you calling an old geezer you little brat!" Golem countered
"Who are you calling a brat you-"
"Will both of you shut up already!" Iris and Terra yelled at their duel spirits
"I equip Golem with the equip spell Mist Body, so now he can't be destroyed in battle!" White mist surrounded Golem "Also when Golem is in defense mode, he's the only card you can attack!"
"Very nice." Iris complimented
"I'll set three cards face down end my turn!" Three reverse cards appeared
"Then I guess it's my turn!" Iris drew her next card "I activate my two trap cards, Rising Energy and Strike Slash!" Iris activated her two trap cards "Rising Energy allows me to increase Zidane's attack points by 1500 points just by discarding a card." Iris discarded one so that Zidane's attack points would rise (2000-3500) "And Strike Slash increases his attack points by 700 plus the ability to do piercing damage!" Zidane's lance became a lot sharper (3500-4200)
"Oh man, this is bad." Terra said out loud.
"It's about to get a lot worse because I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy the middle card!" A typhoon ripped apart Terra's Half Shield "Zidane! Use your Ultima Weapon and end this duel!" Zidane jumped towards Golem with his new power (4200-5700)
"If that attack goes through then Terra's done for!" Kurogasa said
"Don't worry about it, because I play the trap Castle Walls, so now Golem's defense points are 500 points stronger!" Golem tried to deflect the blade wing his wings (3000-3500)
"But you still take 2200 points of damage!" The shock wave hit Terra dead on, pushing him back a few feet
Iris: 2900
Terra: 400
"It's over."
"Yeah, for you!" Terra's face down card flipped up "I activate the trap card Staunch Defender! Now your other monsters are now forced to battle with Golem!"
Iris's eyes widened in shock "T-Then that means-"
"Golem's defense is now your undoing!" Terra yelled as Cecil and Tifa attacked Golem, but were pushed back by Golem's immense power, dropping Iris's life points down to zero
Iris: 0
Terra: 400: Winner
"Awww man! I lost!" Iris yelled "And I was so close!"
"You did good Iris." Kazuma said as he walked in front of her "Now it's my turn. Are you ready Light User?"
Ritsu walked up and activated his duel disk "Do you even have to asked?"
"Wait Kazuma!" Iris said, causing Kazuma to turn around towards her. She then kissed Kazuma on the lips "Good luck."
"I'll be fine." Kazuma said "Ready Ritsu!"
"Yeah!" Both duelists drew their opening hands
