[Part 6]

Lovely Smile

"My, my. Seems things have been rough while we've gourmet ourselves with their food." The male said, who was watching the match on-screen from the food court, "What do you think Silias?"

The male said, as his comrade Silias was drinking a cup of ice water in peace. Not paying much attention to the much, responding to the male in a casual tone.

"I don't know, Valter." Silias said, taking another sip, "You know I prefer traditional duels instead of action ones."

Valter let out a chuckle from what Silias stated, afterwards he took a bite of his hamburger. Savoring the taste of meat, veggies, and cheese.

"Even thought we're in enemy territory, they serve pretty good food." Valter stated, taking another bite, now speaking with a mouthful, "Reason why I said… this would be a fun weekend."

"Well, it is peaceful... But…" Silia said, he looked at the screen once more, "But something about that girl doesn't seem right."

"Hmm?" Valter gotten confused what Silias said. Swallowing the food in his mouth, sipping some cola to drown it down without problems. "Should we worry about this?"

"I think it's best that we leave." Johan exclaimed, getting up from his seat as he threw his drink into the trash can next to him, "Just in case things go south."

"You're always cautious, ya' know." Valter stated, finishing his food and throwing it inside the trash can, "But your foresight is the reason I trust you more than anyone. Let's go."

Soon the two would walk pass the twins, both turn to each. Valter gave Siegfried malicious smile, as he returned the favor with a cold glare.

"Well, well, well… If it isn't the perfectionist? How do you do?" Valter asked, knowing it would anger Siegfried even more.

"It shouldn't be any concern for a roach such as yourself." Siegfried stated, giving the two a cold smile, "What brings the infestation to my domain?"

"Don't be so cold, Sieg." Valter said, letting out a small chuckle, "We are old classmates after all."

"Your leave was truly a blessing." Siegfried said, being disgusted due to the fact he had to deal with him once again, "After all, you shouldn't crawl back here. I might accidentally step on you."

"Sharp tongue as always, as much as I like to chat. I have other matters to attend." Valter said, smiling back at the two, slowly leaving Siegfried's sight, "Also, I would be careful around here. Looks like something fun is about to happen."

The visitors left the school grounds, giving discomfort towards Siegfried and Yoshino. As the two left towards the food court, before the fourth turn has started. Shizuka was in shock, trying to figure out what to do in her situation. Which ended with failure, it's still new to her, everything.

"I-I… End my turn…" Shizuka said with disappointment in her tone.

[Turn 4]

"I draw! Now then Shizuka…" Delthea smiled, now ready to set her plans into motion, "I activate an effect from my hand!"

"W-What!?" Shizuka questioned.

"I send Fluffal Bear from my hand to the graveyard to search a card from my deck!" Delthea explained, searching through her deck, found what was required as it was set face down, "Due to the effect, it placed on my field face down in my spell/trap zone!"

"What is the point in all that?" Shizuka said, watching Delthea's deck auto shuffle after she finished.

"Next, I normal summon Fluffal Penguin in attack mode!" Delthea announced, placing the card on her duel-disk, "Now I activate it's effect! Which allows me to special a Fluffal monster from my hand! I chose Fluffal Leo in attack mode!"

Due to her action, two stuffed/cutesy animals appeared on Delthea's field. A purple-colored penguin with a violet belly to match it's colors. Wearing a light blue winged bowtie, also headphones that are meant to protect the ears from the cold, showing teal cotton. Flapping it's flippers, staring at Shizuka with it's adorable blue eyes.

Fluffal Penguin/Leo: *4
[ATK: 1600/1600]

"Now then… Leo strike down Power Breaker!" Delthea commanded, as Leo tackled it with sheer force, "It will gain 500 for every declared attack I make!"

Fluffal Leo:
[ATK: +2100]

Power Breaker was charged into the wall, collapsing down on them. Piling themselves with wooden planks, noticing Delthea was preparing a second attack.

[Shizuka's LP: 1200]

"Penguin, attack Mad Archfiend!" After Delthea commanded, she rushed towards the next action card, activating in time before Shizuka reacted, "Action Magic! Star Gain!"

Fluffal Penguin:
[ATK: +2000]

"With this action card my monster gains 100 attack power for each level it contains!" Delthea explained, as the penguin slides through Mad Archfiend, "As always… You can't do anything to me."

[Delthea's A-Counters: 1]

The beck of Fluffal Penguin struck Mad Archfiend at the stomach. Right where the skull was, shattered into piece along with it data.

[Shizuka's LP: 1000]

"Poor Shizuka, if only you were able to counter." Delthea taunted, being smug with her opponent, "Best to call it quits now."

Shizuka stood quiet for a moment, until the facedown that Delthea placed was destroyed.

"W-What!?" Delthea questioned, looking around until she noticed a transparent Power Breaker floating in the air, "What is the meaning of this!?"

"Power Breaker's effect, when destroyed by battle or card effect. I can destroy a spell or trap card on your field." Shizuka explained, noticed she destroyed a spell card, "I don't know what you had in plan, but it looks like I backfired your set-up."

Delthea was too upset over the card that Shizuka destroyed, which was Toy Vendor. Being disgusted by Shizuka's action, enraging her more than usual.

"Goddamn you! I won't let this slide easily, you amateur!" Delthea called out, surprising the crowd with her aggressive behavior.

"I am not done yet! I activate my trap card, The Grave of Enkindling!" Shizuka stated, as both monster zones shined a bright light, "When a monster is destroyed by battle. We both revive 1 monster onto our field in defense position, I choose Power Breaker!"

Power Breaker: *4
[DEF: 0]

"Fine! I will play your stupid quarrel! I revive my Fluffal Bear!" Delthea replied, as a pink stuffed bear with fairy wings attached onto it back appears, "You better hope you know what you are doing, Shizuka."

Fluffal Bear: *3
[DEF: 800]

"I end my turn." Delthea declared, looking over her field with a smile, "What can you truly do in your situation, Shizuka?~"

[Turn 5]

"I-I draw…" Shizuka said, with hesitation, looking both at her field and hand, "Time to fight you head on at this point on, Delthea! I normal summon Influence Dragon!"

A blue-colored dragon soar down from the sky, landing on the ground. Stretching out its M-shaped wings, letting out a roar at Delthea, only ended up smiling at her opponent's monster, knowing she is serious now.

Influence Dragon: *3
[Tuner] [ATK: 300]

"Next, I activate my dragon's effect! Which allows me to target one face-up monster on my field and convert it into a dragon!" Shizuka explained, pointing at Power Breaker, "I now declare my Power Breaker to become a dragon-type!"

"I-Is she going to…?" Yurika questioned, looking over at the two.

"It's a synchro summon she has set up, Yurika…" Takashi said, examining Shizuka's monsters, "Now then… Show us how much you grown since your last match, Shizuka."

"Now then, I tune my level 3 Influence Dragon with my level 4 Power Breaker to synchro summon!" Shizuka commanded, after her words were spoken, the monsters jumped in the air taking flight as Influenced Dragon converted into three green-ring. Creating a path for Power Breaker to glide through, showing a golden outline of the monster, within it had four shining stars. Afterwards, a burst of white energy appeared behind Shizuka, "The King's roar reverberates! The iron hammer of victory will destroy the land! Synchro Summon! Soar, Exploder Dragonwing!"

A muscular body, navy blue dragon with red orange wings appeared before Shizuka. Flapping it wings, generating a strong tailwind with one flap, roaring at it's opponent. Glaring down at them with its red eyes, waiting for its master's command.

Exploder Dragonwing: *7
[ATK: 2400]

"Go! Exploder Dragonwing, attack Fluffal Penguin!" Shizuka commanded, instantly inhaling air with its jaws, ready to roar, "King Storm!"

"You truly believed I didn't see that coming…" Delthea said softly, rushing over to her left instantly grabbing another action card. Activating it in time, which caused the attack to vanish, "Action magic! Illumination! This card allows me to negate an effect that would destroy a monster! You truly believed I didn't knew Dragonwing's ignition effect!?"

[Delthea's A-Counters: 2]

"Dragonwing's effect would of caused serious damage to Delthea." Takashi explained, sighing in disappointment, "Still… She takes battle damage because of it."

The trio watched as Takashi's analysis was true, Shizuka's monster fired its breath once more. Clashing with the magical barrier that protected it, seeing the cracks. Soon the barrier shattered and engulfed Fluffal Penguin in the process. Something was wrong, the flames scattered once Fluffal Penguin was destroyed. Hitting Delthea's face as crossfire, she began to scream in agonizing pain, shocking Shizuka, who had no intention of causing this unfortunate event to occur.

[Delthea's LP: 1500]

"D-Delthea!?" Shizuka said, concern for her friend, "I-I'm sorry!"

The flames slowly faded away from her face, as the room slowly was being scorched. Due to Dragonwing's attack, looking around for an exit until Delthea grabbed a hold of Shizuka's face. Only by a glimpse, she saw something that changed her way of life, Delthea slammed Shizuka body towards the wooden wall. Smashing right through it, using it as an escape point. Coughing from all the smoke, Shizuka rubbed her face to remove some of the dirt. Slowly getting up, watching the tower light up in flames, the sight was dreadful. Feeling sorrow that it was her own reckless behavior that cause the area to be scorched, noticing from the flames a dark figure was closing in on Shizuka.

"Delthea? Delthea! Your alri-!" Shizuka stopped her sentence, surprised from what she saw, "I-I…"

"Oh my god… What.. What is going on…" Yurika questioned, looking over at Johan, noticing he was also in shocked, "You didn't knew anything about this…"

"What… what the…" Johan slowly sais, instantly getting up from his seat, ready to yell, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, ANSWER ME DELL!"

"My, my. Look at all the damaged you have done, Shi-Chan." Delthea said, slowly walking over to Shizuka as her monsters followed, "You truly created a mess. What am I going to do with you?"

Shizuka was too scared To move a muscle, not knowing what to do anymore. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I'm sorry…!" Repeating those words like a broken machine, as Delthea placed both her hands on Shizuka's cheeks. Watching her shred tears, which just gave her pure joy, a smile of ecstasy finally risen from her face. A part of her face was peeling off, showing a different colored skin underneath. It wasn't Delthea's tan face, it has peach-colored skin underneath. It was a mask that people use in makeup wardrobes that she was wearing, revealing that Delthea wasn't here to begin with. This was a fake taking her place.

"If you truly are sorry, then you wouldn't mind making it up for me, right?" Delthea asked, releasing her face, keeping her distance, "Now then… Shall we continue?"

A smile can say many things, some can truly fool others from the harsh truth. I have so many questions to ask...
