I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
I got another chapter finished! Yay!
Haou: After another month too BTW
Jaden: This is kinda normal for Darky now, though.
*laughs nervously* If I actually get a chapter posted before a month passes then that's weird XD Anyway, time for round three of Battle City GX! This time it's going to be...Masika VS Bastion!
Haou: Finally, we get to see a good match.
Kia: Your just saying that because it's your girlfriend dueling, Haou.
Haou: ...No comment *leaves*
Kia: Wow, he gets mad when we talk about Darkspiritshipping but just walks out on us when we talk about him and Masika together.
I just don't question Haou at this point. Also, I'm going to give a shout out to buddy Blaze (AKA: Above the Winter Moonlight) for being the only one to guess this match up and also yes, your match up between Akane VS Haou is finally going to happen next chapter (I would say this is a spoiler but their the only two left to face off so it really isn't a spoiler huh?) I also want to inform you guys that there is an XYZ monster in this chapter but I changed it to a Fusion Monster instead because this is GX and XYZs weren't around when this first came out. The changed form of it will be at the end.
And as always, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter even if it's kinda short (I had no idea what to do with this duel to be honest XD)
Though she didn't like to admit it out loud, Masika loved to build sandcastles. She remembered when she was little and her parents used to take her to the beach whenever they got the chance. She would ran around the shore in her bare feet, play in the ocean, and of course, build her sandcastles. It was a good life.
Though, that was before the illness had hit.
Masika shook her head before smacking herself in the forehead. "No! Bad thoughts! Stay out!" She scolded herself with a sigh. "Just continue to work and they will go away!"
Currently, the female bluenette was sitting in the sand at the beach of the island, building what appeared to be a sandcastle but the whole thing looked ready to collapse in on inside.
Though Masika didn't mind if it did. She learned over time that sometimes you'll have to destroy something to make it better.
"Destination and creation..." Masika muttered to herself before gigging a bit. "I'm starting to sound like Haou...I wonder if I'm going to be facing off against him?" She wondered, looking over her shoulder. "I don't know whether to hope for that or not after the talk we just had?"
Masika just shrugged before turning her attention back to her sandcastle. "Maybe I should add a flower to it?" She mused.
Liking that idea, Masika smiled and stood up. She turned around to start heading towards the forest but when she did, she walked right into someone causing that person to fall on their butt while Masika fell right on top of her sandcastle, crushing it.
"Oh, not again." Masika groaned sitting up to shake the sand out of her blue locks. "Just when I thought I was finally starting to get over my clumsiness."
"No, this one on me. I was deep in thought about math equations and I didn't notice where I was looking."
"Huh?" Masika glanced over at who she walked into. Dark hair, hint of an accent, only person in the tournament to be in the Ra Yellow dorm- "Oh Bastion; fancy walking into you of all people." The female Obelisk greeted with a sheepish smile.
"Indeed," Bastion agreed standing up and dusting the sand off himself before offering a hand to Masika which she gladly took to stand up. "Oh and sorry about your...was that a sandcastle?" He questioned, gesturing to the pile of sand.
Masika glanced behind her as she brushed the sand off her uniform. "Well it was but it's fine. I wasn't having much luck with it away but you know the saying, 'if you first don't succeed, try try again.'" She quoted with a laugh. "I bet I can make it bigger and badder the next time around."
Masika then grinned and pointed to the duel disk on Bastion's arm. "But hey, you didn't come here to listen to me talk about sandcastles. You came here to duel, am I right?"
"That I did," Bastion replied as Masika bent down and picked up her duel disk she had placed to the side when she was building her castle. "Though I will admit, Masika, I didn't think I would be facing you. The odds of that happening was 14% but still, I always come prepared." Bastion unzipped his jacket and opened one of his six pouches, took the deck out, and placed it in his duel disk before activating it.
"Like wise, Bastion." Masika replied, taking a few steps back as she adding her own deck into her duel disk. "Well, ready when you are." She said, activating her disk.
"Duel!"
(Masika: 4000 Bastion: 4000)
"Well Bastion, I'll let you have the first move if you want?" Masika offered.
"That's very kind of you and also very foolish at the same time." Bastion commented, but he took her up on her offer and drew his sixth card. "I summon Magnet Ape Epsilon in attack mode!"
A monster that appeared to be made up of different metals and parts in the shape of an ape appeared on Bastion's field (ATK: 1700 DEF: 500).
"Next, I activating the spell card, Miracle Rupture. With this, I can send a rock-type monster from my deck to the graveyard, shuffle my deck, and then draw a card." Bastion continued, taking out his deck.
Huh? I don't know whether he's trying to get something in his graveyard or trying to add cards into his hand? Masika thought, watching as Bastion send his monster to the graveyard, shuffled his deck and then drew his card. Bastion's a wildcard with his dueling from what I heard. Who knows what he's planning?
"Now with that magnet monster in the graveyard, I play my Magnet Reborn spell card! By paying 500 life points, I can special summon that monster onto my field."
(Masika: 4000 Bastion: 3500)
"So that was his plan." Masika realized as what appeared to be a metal red bird flew onto Bastion's field from the graveyard (ATK: 1200 DEF: 1400).
"I summon my Magnet Eagle Delta in attack mode." Bastion announced before he placed a face down to end his turn. "It's your move, Masika."
"And it will be one you won't be forgetting anytime soon, Bastion." Masika replied, drawing her card before grinning. "Just what I wanted! First, by discarding a water monster from my hand, I can special summon Mermail Abyssteus in attack mode!"
A ancient fish known as the Dunkleosteus swum out of the ocean that the two duelists were dueling by wearing silver armor and carrying a spear made out of coral (ATK: 1700 DEF: 2400).
"And since Abyssteus was special summon this way, I can add a level 4 or lower Mermail monster from my deck to my hand." Masika continued, taking out her deck and picking her monster before holding it up to show to Bastion. "The monster I chose is Mermail Abyssdine and because of it's effect, when it's added to my hand from my deck or graveyard by a card effect, I can special summon it right onto my field."
A child mermaid that looked to have taken the sharp of a sea angel appeared from the sea with a giggle (ATK: 1000 DEF: 200).
"Now for Mermail Abyssdine's second effect, because she was special summoned, I can special summon one level 3 or lower Mermail monster from my graveyard but before she does, I'm chaining her effect with the effect of Mermail Abysshilde. Since she was sent to the graveyard by Abyssteus's effect, I can special summon a Mermail monster from my hand." Masika grinned at that, holding up two cards. "So with Abyssdine, I'm bring back Abysshilde from my graveyard and with Abysshilde, I summon to the field, Mermail Abyssmegalo!"
Appearing next to Masika's other seas creatures was a mermaid with the form of a eel (ATK: 1300 DEF: 400) and the other having the appearance of a red Megalodon shark with it's teeth as a sword (ATK: 2400 DEF: 1900) both in attack mode.
"My, don't we have an impressive aquarium?" Bastion spoke, gazing at all of Masika's sea monsters like he was at an aquarium.
Masika giggled at that. "I try but sorry, Bastion, but you're going to have to say goodbye to one of these lovely mermaids. I play Abyssmegalo's effect. By tributing a face up water monster on my field, he can attack twice during the battle phase this turn."
Mermail Abyssdine giggled again as she jumped back into the water and as soon as she did so, the water levels appeared to have rose a bit, surrounding Mermail Abyssmegalo and making a blue aura appear around him.
"Sorry about this, Bastion, but it wasn't wise to come into a sea duelist's territory." Masika joked before pointing at Magnet Eagle Delta. "Alright Abyssmegalo! It's time to play Jaws! Attack!"
Jumping into the water, the monster's fins were the only thing that could be seen as it swum over to the Eagle, jumped out of water and sunk it's teeth into the metal bird, dragging it under the water, destroying but more like eating it alive as the Eagle cried out in pain.
(Masika: 4000 Bastion: 2300)
"Wow, that was...brutal..." Bastion spoke, staring at the spot where his monster was destroyed.
Masika scratched the back of her head. "Yeah...I think I've been spending way to much time with Haou. His dueling style is starting to rub off on me..." She laughed, nervously. "My bad..."
"Well it won't happen again." Bastion responded, gesturing to his other magnet monster. "Since a magnet monster on my field was destroyed, Magnet Ape Epsilon's effect activates, increasing his attack by 400 points until the end of this turn."
Magnet Ape Epsilon pounded his fists together as his attack rose (ATK: 1700-2100 DEF: 500).
"To bad that his attack is still lower then Abyssmegalo though." Masika pointed out.
"You would think so if it wasn't for my trap card, Last Magnet!"
"Last...Magnet?" Masika questioned as Abyssmegalo's head surface only for his whole body to rise out of the water as a giant magnet dropped from the sky and onto the sea serpent's back (ATK: 2400-1600 DEF: 1900). "Huh?" Masika stared, wide eyed. "What just happened?"
"Last Magnet: it activated when you destroyed Magnet Eagle Delta. Now that monster you attacked with is equip with Last Magnet, causing your sea serpent to lose 800 ATK points." Bastion explained as Abyssmegalo collapsed on the shore, barely carrying the large magnet on his back.
"Oh not cool, Bastion." Masika pouted, ending her battle phase since none of her other monsters were strong enough to take down Magnet Ape Epsilon. "Sharks are already endangered and now your dropping magnets on them?"
Bastion opened his mouth to that but just closed it, seeing no point in starting a fight about that. "It's still your move, you know?"
"Oh yeah," Masika gigged, placing a card face down. "That's all for me."
With her turn ended, Magnet Ape Epsilon's ATK went back to normal (ATK: 2100-1700 DEF: 500).
"My draw," Bastion drew his card, looked at it, and summoned it to the field. "I summon Magnet Crocodile Zeta in attack mode."
Like Bastion's other monsters before this one, this magnet beast was made out of different metals and magnets in the form of a crocodile this time (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200).
"Now I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down."
A mini typhoon come out of the spell card and destroyed Masika's face down.
"Well that wasn't what I was planning for but hey, that works too!" Masika grinned, holding up the card that Bastion just destroyed. "Since Abyss-scorn was sent to the graveyard while it was set, one of your monsters is destroyed."
Hair like tentacles shot out of the water, wrapped themselves around Magnet Ape Epsilon, and dragged the monster into the water, drowning it.
"Okay, again, brutal." Bastion spoke before shaking his head. "But since a magnet monster was destroyed, Magnet Crocodile Zeta gains 400 ATK points until the end of the turn." (ATK: 1600-2000 DEF: 1200)
"And they all have the same effect...good to know..." Masika mused, trailing off.
"And I'm not done just yet. I activate Premature Burial. By paying 800 of my life points, I'm being back the monster that you just destroyed, Magnet Ape Epsilon." Bastion continued, activating the equip spell.
(Masika: 4000 Bastion: 1500)
The metal ape rose up from the ground and onto the field at the cost of some of Bastion's life points.
"Now Magnet Ape Epsilon and Magnet Crocodile Zeta, attack Masika's Mermail Abyssmegalo and Mermail Abysshilde!" Bastion ordered as both of the magnet monster target their respected opponents and destroyed them, leaving Masika with only Abyssteus on her field.
(Masika: 3200 Bastion: 1500)
"Well I guess I had that one coming." Masika joked, watching as Bastion's monsters returned to his side of the field.
To be honest, Bastion didn't know what to say to that so he didn't say anything. He just played two face downs and ended his turn.
During that, Zeta's attack returned to normal (ATK: 2000-1600 DEF: 1200).
"Okay, give me something I can use, deck old buddy." Masika spoke, drawing her card but as soon as she saw what it was, her eyes widen. "Hey, this is..."
Flashback:
"Haou, I still think you should apology to Jaden for hitting him in the face with a book." Masika told the older Yuki twin as they made their way out of the Duel Arena.
"Are you still on that?" Haou questioned in a annoyed tone, if it was because of what she said or was annoyed at something else, Masika couldn't tell.
"Yes, because it wasn't nice."
Haou mumbled something under his breath that Masika couldn't make out clearly before Haou suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned to face her. "Will you stop being angry at me if I apology to Jaden?"
"I'm not angry at you." Masika corrected him before nodding. "But I would like it very much if you did."
Again, Haou mumbled something under his breath before sighing. "Fine, only because you asked me to." He then shot a glare at something, causing Masika to raise an eyebrow.
"You're imaginary friends bugging you again, Haou?" Masika asked.
"You could say that." Haou grumbled, turning his attention back to her. "Look, Masika, for your sake, I hope we don't have to face against each other until the finals of this stupid and pointless tournament. So-" Haou reached into his pocket and took something out of it and handed it to her. "-here."
"Huh?" Masika took what he was offering to her and looked at it. What he gave her was two Duel Monster cards: one being a monster with the other being a spell. "What are these for?"
"A good luck gift," Haou answered, glancing away as Masika looked at him. "I figured you already had those two cards in your deck so I thought..." the dark duelist trailed off, causing Masika to smile.
"I love it, Haou." Masika told him, honestly. "Thanks moody."
"Yeah...whatever..." Haou replied in a low tone as he started walking away again. "So you better not lose now." He said over his shoulder.
"And you better not break your promise and apology to Jaden!" Masika called back, still with a wide smile on her face.
End flashback:
"Don't worry, Haou, I won't lose now thanks to this." Masika smiled before she placed the card that she drew into her hand and summoned another monster onto the field. "Get ready, Bastion, because I'm going to summon Neptabyss the Atlantean Prince in attack mode!"
Appearing on Masika's field was a boy with long wild black hair and blue eyes. He was barefoot dressed in blue armor, wearing a golden crown and was carrying a trident as a weapon (ATK: 800 DEF: 0).
"While Neptabyss might not be the fighting type, his special ability sure does make up for it." Masika continued with a grin. "You'll see, Bastion, by sending a Atlantean monster from my deck to the graveyard, I can add another one to my hand."
Masika took out her deck. She sent an Atlantean monster to the graveyard before adding another one to her hand. Masika showed it to Bastion, the monster being Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon.
"Your ace monster." Bastion spoke after seeing what Masika added to her hand.
Masika giggled at that. "Well he was my ace monster until someone special gave me another card." She revealed before holding up the card she drew at the start of the Drawing Phase. "I'm activating Polymerization to fuse together Neptabyss the Atlantean Prince with Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon to summon out Mermail Abyssgaios in attack mode!"
The giant sea dragon that Masika added to her hand appeared on the field before he and Neptabyss fused together to create an age old version of Neptabyss from the wrist up with Poseidra's body from the wrist down (ATK: 2800 DEF: 1600).
"Your deck is just full of impressive monsters, Masika." Bastion admitted too, glancing up at the large beast that looked like Poseidon from Greek Mythology.
"Well the ocean is full of surprises." Masika response with a laugh before pointing at Abyssgaios. "With Abyssgaios on my field now, level five and higher monsters on your side of the field cannot attack and once per turn, he can negate the effects of all face-up monsters you currently control that have less ATK than him, until the end of the turn." She explained.
"So when he attacks and destroys one of my Magnet monsters, the other won't be getting an attack bonus." Bastion acknowledged, wide eyed.
"Yep," Masika confirmed with a smile. "But before Abyssgaios starts destroying the house, or in this case the beach, let's take care of Crocodile Zeta. Abyssteus attack!"
The other sea serpent on Masika field launched forward and stuck Zeta with his coral spear, destroying the crocodile.
(Masika: 3200 Bastion: 1400)
"Now Abyssgaios, attack Magnet Ape Epsilon with Raging Thunder!" Masika commanded.
Abyssgaios roared as he raised his trident to the skies. Lightning flashed across the heavens before a bolt of lightning struck the magnet beast, destroying it.
(Masika: 3200 Bastion: 300)
"Hell yeah! That's how we do it in Masika's town!" Masika cheered before covering her mouth. "Oh excuse my language. I guess I've been hanging out with Kia to much too." She laughed nervously.
"That's quite alright," Bastion assured her as Masika signaled the end of her turn. "And I must say, Masika, that fusion monster surprised me a bit but that doesn't mean I wasn't prepared for something like this to happen."
"Come again?" Masika questioned, raising an eyebrow as Bastion drew his card.
"I'm also prepared if I happen to be backed into a corner such as this. That's why I always keep my best cards until the end. For example, this guy right here, Block Golem!"
A golem sized monster made up of different colored logos appeared on Bastion's field (ATK: 1000 DEF: 1500).
"I activate Block Golem's effect! Since all the monsters in my graveyard are of the Earth attribute, I can tribute Block Golem to special summon two level 4 or lower rock type monsters from my graveyard but with their effects negated for this turn." Bastion explained. "With this, I'm bringing back Magnet Ape Epsilon and Magnet Crocodile Zeta!"
Block Golem disappeared from the field for him to be replaced by the two fallen magnet monsters in attack mode.
"Wow, those magnets really don't like to stay down." Masika mused.
"Next, I play my trap, Call of the Haunted, to bring back my third beast: Magnet Eagle Delta!"
The first of Bastion's two traps rose up and once it did, the final member of Bastion's magnet trio reappeared on the field as well.
"I guess I'm not the only one that can special summon a lot of monsters in one turn but why in attack mode for all of them?" Masika asked not getting what Bastion was trying to do.
"Because they are not going to be on the field for much longer." Bastion answered, showing her the card that he just drew. "I activate Magnet Fusion! With this, by tributing Magnet Eagle Delta, Magnet Ape Epsilon, and Magnet Crocodile Zeta, I can fusion summon out, Electromagnetic Magnedragon in attack mode!"
"A Fusion Summon?!" Masika exclaimed from surprise, not expecting Bastion to be one to use Fusion Summoning but here he was with his three Magnet monsters fusing together to create a machine dragon like beast with red eyes and large metal wings (ATK: 3500 DEF: 1500).
"Okay, I will admit that that thing is terrifying." Masika admitted before letting out a sigh of relief. "Good thing Abyssgaios's effect prevents it from attacking."
"I wouldn't get your hopes up, Masika, since I activate my second face down, Breakthrough Skill!" Bastion continued, playing his other set card. "This trap negates one of your monster effects until the End Phase of the turn."
"Trap does what now?" Masika went wide eyed before turning to look at Abyssgaios lowing his trident.
"With his effects negated, Electromagnetic Magnedragon is allowed to attack again." Bastion stated. "Electromagnetic Magnedragon, attack now with Magnet Inferno!" He ordered.
The magnet dragon let out a fearsome roar before letting lose a large steel made fireball that blasted Abyssgaios right off the field.
(Masika: 2500 Bastion: 300)
"Okay this looks bad but I still have life points left." Masika told herself more then to Bastion.
"Electromagnetic Magnedragon's effect activates: when it destroys a monsters in battle, you take damage equal to your destroy monster's attack points." Bastion added. "And with a grand total of 2800 ATK points, that's all it takes to finish this duel off."
"Your dragon part Flame Wingman/Infernal Wing?" Masika gulped when Electromagnetic Magnedragon unleashed another metal fireball at her. "Uh oh."
And that was all that Masika wrote as the magnet dragon's effect took out the rest of her life points.
(Masika: 0 Bastion: 300)
"Oh man, I lost." Masika muttered, sitting up after getting knocked down by the dragon's attack. Masika sighed at that, shaking the sand out of her hair as Bastion walked over to help her up.
"It was a close match, I'll admit to that." The Ra pointed out, helping the female Obelisk to her feet.
"Yeah I know but I kinda promised Haou that I wouldn't lose." Masika admitted, gazing at the ground.
"Oh so that's how you got that fusion monster."
"It was that obvious huh?"
"I had my guesses."
Masika laughed softly at that. "Well him and Jaden are pretty much the Fusion Kings around here besides Zane, of course. I'm pretty sure one of those two will make it to the finals if not both of them."
"Not if I have anything to say to that." Bastion told her before holding out his hand to her to shake.
Masika giggled at that. "True," she took his hand and shook it. "Well best of luck in the Battle Royal and the Semifinals, Bastion."
"Thank you, Masika, but luck is for people that aren't prepared for the challenge." Bastion replied.
"Well we're see about that, Bastion." Masika smiled.
Well everyone, that was chapter 23! What you think about it?
Haou: I leave for a few minutes and I came back to find out that Masika lost?!
Jaden: Clearly, Haou wasn't happy with that ending.
Haou: You think?!
Kia: For the record, he's never happy so...
Haou: Oh shut it, Kia. I don't want to hear your two cents about this.
If it makes you feel better, Haou, you're dueling next.
Haou: About time too but I'm still not happy with this ending.
Oh course your not -_-
Anyway, ignoring Haou, question time! So yeah, last time, I asked you guys what archetypes you wanted to see get some more support and you guys answered with: Evil HEROES (2), Crystal Beast (1), Masked HEROES (1), Hazy Flame (1), Darklord (1), and Aroma (1) and Moonlight (1) (can we get this archetype printed already?!) This time, this question doesn't totally just go for GX but Arc-V as well!
Haou: And Darky still fangirling about Arc-V...
Arc-V is awesome so shut it, Haou! Anyway, I've really been wanting to do a GX/Arc-V crossover for sometime now (where the plot is "what if the GX cast went to the Duel Academy in the Fusion Dimension?") and I wanted to know what you guys think about that idea. I, for one, already got an idea for it but it is going to follow the Arc-V storyline and who knows where the heck that is heading in the future (still waiting for Yuri's Fusion Dragon to be revealed -_-) so yeah, leave your thoughts in the reviews and as always, I hope you guys, again, enjoyed this chapter and are looking forward to the next one since Haou is dueling again!
