[Revelation]

[Part 2]

It didn't take long for the group. After their visit at the hospital, they took matters into their own hands. Takashi accepted Setsuna's proposal, but it didn't take long until she changed her mind within one minute. Now both Johan and Takashi are forced into a battle royal against Setsuna, in their opinion, it felt more like a handicap. Hurting their pride, only a little. Of course, Yurika was at the sidelines once again, as usual. Which she doesn't mind at all, only cause its preferred that way. She enjoys watching match more than participating, despite the previous matched that were recently watched. Resulting into unwanted trauma, but she still powers through just for the sheer joy of entertainment. The match was being settle in the hospital ground, giving them underground access towards the duel arena. Surprising the group with it, but they use it as entertainment for the children to watch both live and on television.

The three stepped into the room, covered in blue and black lining, like being inside of Tron movie. In Setsuna's eyes to be precise. She couldn't help but giggle over the reference, which lead to Johan and Takashi giving confused looks at each other. Sighing at the state of their situation, not expecting a duel this late of the day. Takashi slammed both his fist together, trying to hype himself up, but ended up hurting himself. Just minor self-infliction, but Johan still laughed at him when he let out a pitiful expression. Setsuna overheard their little... accident. Allowing herself to smile for a brief moment, easily catching Yurika's attention without knowing. Despite watching from above, her eyesight was phenomenal. Better than the average person, remembering the smile of Shizuka when she finally opened up to her. Memories poured in like crazy, but she had to stop reminiscing or else it will result towards depression. Taking their time to set up both their decks and duel-disk, Setsuna decided to warm-up. With squats, placing both arms behind her head, and taking a breath each squat that was accounted for.

"Taka, you sure about this?" Johan question, his eyes focused on him, trying to avoid the distraction that Setsuna is causing.

"The least we can do is have fun, who knows, maybe it's all that adrenaline that made her go for this crazy request." Takashi replied, looking over at Setsuna, smiling. "Besides, I want to see what sets her and Shizuka apart."

It didn't take long for Setsuna to finish up a light workout before dueling. Pumped for some action, wanting to test out Seijuro's strength. Wondering if they are what she needs to have a little fun around her life. Since it's been nothing but study, sleep, and winning. None of her recent opponents lived up to their potential to satisfy her thirst for actual combat. Curious to see if Shizuka was truly having fun over at Seijuro Academy. Suddenly, the blue lines started to glow neon blue. Instantly the design of the area was converted.

' STAGE 3 - WASTELANDS '

' DAMAGE MODE - C '

The area became an empty wasteland, nothing but crackled grounds and boulders. Wind blew through, causing the dirt to shift into the air. Johan stood aside of Takashi, looking over him, and chuckled.

"Hey, remember how our duel went?" Johan remarked, chuckling from the thought of it. "It was this battlefield we stood our ground. God... what a disaster that was."

"Of course, it brought the Guardians' attention to cease the climax." Takashi mentioned, patting Johan's back roughly. "I still want a rematch."

"We will see about that, Taka." Johan replied, stretching his arms until they popped. "But you know the gentleman's code."

"Which is?" Takashi questioned, noticing that Johan's finger was pointed at Setsuna. "Ahh, lady's first."

The sphere contain that action cards was floating in the middle of the battlefield. Awaiting for the key word. Smiles slowly fading away, their duel disk activated, D-Gazer feedback intact. All of them removing their school jackets , just to gain momentum in speed.

' Action Counter System - Active '

The D-Gazer notified them, as the life point system generated. Surprising both Johan and Takashi due to the results.

[Takashi's LP: 4000]

[Johan's LP: 4000]

VS.

[Setsuna's LP: 4000]

"Wait a second... Why are you only taking 4000?" Johan stated, having anger in his tone. "Let alone me being tagged along with Taka!"

"Please, care to explain this Setsuna?" Takashi asked politely, concerned with the results. Wondering if it was a miscalculation.

"That is what I told the people running this place to do." Setsuna verified, tightening the bow. "Besides... I prefer it this way..."

Cameras were locked onto them, record live video fee on the upcoming duel. Instantly broadcasting throughout the hospital's television program. Now they have an audience. Takashi's D-Gazer gave him a notification, "Linking..." and afterwards, a female voice was heard through the piece.

"Takashi, I am giving you guys field support." The female said, looking over them through the tempered glass.

"Yurika..." Takashi said, sighing in relief as it brought up a question. "Wait... is that even allowed?"

"Setsuna said that it's for the best." Yurika explained, placing a hand over her chest. "I don't know what she has in store for you, but the fact she went far for these changes... despite being Shi-Chan's sister... something isn't right. Be on guard, Takashi!"

A smile formed on Takashi's face, nodding towards Johan. Replying with a nod himself, the two took their stance, and drew their cards. Setsuna replied with the same action, suddenly the sphere exploded and spread the action cards to the field.

"DUEL!" They all yelled out, in synchronization. Their faces changed, tension grew as the group finally engaged against Setsuna.

[Turn 1]

"I will take the first move, I activate a continuous spell card! Yosen Training Ground!" Takashi declared, upon activation, the ground below him trembled. Unfazed from the event, stood tall, like an unbreakable wall. Rocks exploded behind him, unable to hit him, and finally revealing an opened shine with a strange symbol hanging above the door. "Next, I set two face-down cards and end my turn!"

[Turn 2]

"I draw! I activate the quick-spell, Hand Destruction! We all are forced into discarding two cards from our hand and draw two." Setsuna explained, already decided on the cards to send to the Graveyard. Cracking a confident smile while the other two finally finished discarding their cards. Afterwards, they all drew two cards from their decks. "Next, I normal summon Vanguard of the Dragon in attack mode!"

By her voice, the ground trembled for a brief moment. *CRACK* The ground bursts opened, an entryway for a muscular draconic humanoid. Wielding both a spear and arm-strapped shield, roaring loudly. Chills ran down both Johan's and Takashi spines, not knowing what is ahead of them.

Vanguard of the Dragon: *4

[Dragon/Effect] [ATK: 1700]

"Takashi... be careful of her graveyard, it seems she has been discarding too much for the opening turn." Yurika notified.

"Next! I activate Vanguard' effect, increasing it's attack by 300 for discarding a dragon-type monster from my hand to the graveyard!" Setsuna explained, discarding a random card from her hand. Not hesitating or taking a moment to evaluate her hand and sent it to her graveyard. "Dragonic Howling!"

Vanguard let out a power roar, strong enough to break the sound barrier. Suddenly a blue aura engulfed the dragon, looking as if its muscles are receiving more body mass. The aura finally faded away, but only it's eyes glowed light blue.

Vanguard of the Dragon:

[ATK: 2000]

"Next! I place one card face-down and activate Card of Demise! This allows me to draw up to three cards, let's see what I get!" Setsuna stated, drawing her three cards from the deck quickly. "I set two more face-down cards and reactivate Vanguard's effect! Dragonic Howling!

Vanguard of the Dragon:

[ATK: 2300]

While discards her last card to her graveyard, the dragon let out another power roar. It's powered up once again, slowly worrying Yurika.

"Guys, this is too much discarding. She has no resource to counteract the next turn. You have to make this turn count." Yurika said to them, hoping it isn't too late.

"With that, I end my turn." Setsuna declared, setting her eyes towards Johan. Letting out a small chuckle. "Your move."

[Turn 3]

"I draw! And for this turn, I activate the continuous-spell card, Black Whirlwind! Afterwards, I normal summon Blackwing - Shura of the Blue Flame in attack position!" Johan stated, taking Yurika's words into consideration. Wondering what all the discarding was about, but her spell and traps say another story. Trying his best not to let those thoughts cause him to hesitate which will lead into a misplay. "Due to Whirlwind's effect, for each normal summon that contains the name "Blackwing." I can search through my deck for a Blackwing monster, but the level has to be equal or lower than the one I summoned! Which will lead to this little guy!"

A strong blacken gust breezed through the field with strong force. Catching Takashi off guard from the sudden burst, among the winds revealed a avian humanoid. Long navy blue feathered-wings, skinny bird-like arms and legs. Ending with jet-black fur, it's eyes looked over at Setsuna, viewing today's opponent. Who looked familiar to Shura.

BW - Shura of the Blue Flame: *4

[Wing Beast/Effect] [ATK: 1800]

Behind Shura, an astral projection a small avian appeared behind it. Quickly transferring itself into Johan's hand. Giving Setsuna a smirk, letting her know that his assault will begin. Instantly the deck auto shuffled after the search and he ended up placing the card he received onto the monster zone of his duel disk.

"When I control a "Blackwing" monster on my field, I can special summon this little! C'mon out, Blackwing - Gale of the Hurricane!" From his words, calling out his companion, a figure descended from the blue skies. Swooping down, flapping it's feather wings onto the ground. Creating a strong wing to smooth the landing, it's dace was yellow. Widen eyes, red as blood, carrying bangs underneath it's eyes. Not blinking, like a night owl. "Now I activate Gale's effect! Heavy Hurricane!"

BW - Gale of the Hurricane: *3

[Wing Beast/Effect] [ATK: 1300]

By his command, Gale quickly flapped it's feathered wings repeatedly to generate two hurricanes. Both launched directly at Vanguard, taking impact from them. It finally stood on It's knees, looking drained from that action.

Vanguard of the Dragon: *4

[ATK: -1150]

"Gale's effect allows me to half the attack of any monster on the field. Now... you power wall is damaged!" Johan explained, smiling happily with his play, but Setsuna's face was unfazed. Getting annoyed by the plain bored expression she lays out, he decided to be reckless and not card about her spell or traps. "Then how about this! Shura attack Vanguard directly!"

"Idiot! What do you think your doing, Johan!?" Takashi yelled out, question the move Johan's recklessly did.

"Not so fast! I activate my trap card, Counter Gate! This allows me to negate you attack and draw a card afterwards!" Setsuna said, watched as Shura's attack was stopped. Drawing a card from her deck, letting out a small smile once again. Instantly placing it on her monster zone, "Afterwards, if the card I drew was a monster, I can result it into a normal summon! Axe Dragonute in attack position!

Another draconic humanoid took the stage, siding next to Vanguard. Wearing black armor plating all over it's body, including the wings. Wielding a giant battle axe, ready to strike it's opponents down.

Axe Dragonute: *4

[Dragon/Effect] [ATK: 2000]

"God damnit..." Johan said to himself, upset with the turn-around. Feeling like he was fiddled, Takashi looked over wanting to say something but Johan decided to ignore him. Instead he pointed his finger at Vanguard, fueled by rage. Not wanting the monster to stay any longer, "Gale attack Vanguard directly! Heavy Hurricane!"

"Johan! Calm down!" Takashi called out, wanting his close friend to relax. But knew it was another set-up so he ran off before the attack reached Vanguard, "Damnit!"

"I activate my second trap card, Shift! Now then... I am switching Gale's target to Axe Dragonute!" Setsuna declared, watched as Axe Dragunute intercepted Gale's attack. Easily brushing it off until she realized something was off. *BOOM* Axe Dragonute was sudden destroyed. Caught off guard by the results, looking around and saw Takashi activated a card. "An action card..."

[Setsuna's LP: -3700]

"Extreme Sword... it allows me to increase monster's attack by a 1000." Takashi explained, breathing heavily due to all the sprinting he did to save Johan's monster. "Don't be... reckless... Johan..."

[Takashi's AC: 1]

Setsuna looked down, wondering what happened. She knew the reason why, but accepting it was another thing. Always engaging into these types of duels slowly made her realize that she can't just sit around. The duel is an action duel, letting that slip cause her to loose both a monster and trap card. Gritting her teeth for that moment, annoyed with herself for not paying closer attention. Taking a moment to pause to recollect her thoughts.

"Johan!" Takashi called out.

"R-Right! Now for my. Second mai-!" Johan said, ready to set up his field.

"Hold on! Don't think... that it's over yet!" Setsuna interrupted, enraged by the results but finally snapped out of her shocked factor. "I activate an effect from the graveyard!"

"A graveyard effect?!" Yurika yelled out, scared of the results. "Takashi! Can't you do something!?"

"If only I had a Yosenju monster than I can do something..." Takashi stated, as he watched Setsuna digging through her graveyard. "I think we woken the hive..."

"When a dragon-type monster is destroyed by battle, this guy can be special summoned from the graveyard! Now revive, Keeper of the Shrine in defense position!" Setsuna called out, suddenly a portal from the graveyard opened up. Thus an old draconic humanoid with a giant white bread, small dragon wings, and two horns finally appears. Doing a monk stance, keeping it eyes closed the whole time. "Now then... see what I have in store for you soon..."

Keeper of the Shrine: *4

[Dragon/Effect] [DEF: 2100]

Johan gulped nervously, since it sounded like Setsuna was threatening him. Not wanting put anymore risk, he looked over to his hand, since it now went into the second main phase.

"Now my level 3 Gale tunes with level 4 Shura!" Johan called out, after hearing his command, the monsters jumped in the air taking flight. Gale's body converted into three green-ring. Creating a path for Shura to glide through, revealing a golden outline of itself, containing four shining stars. Instantly bursting into energy which clashed behind him. "Black wind, turns into wings that rises to the heavens! Synchro Summon, Blackwing Armor Master!"

Long black armor wings extended from the energy, then armor legs and arms. Spinning it's body, creating a black hurricane and stopped after a few seconds. Looking down at Setsuna from above, having an orange visor in display.

Blackwing Armor Master: *7

[Wing Beast/Synchro/Effect]

[ATK: 2500]

"I will set two face-down card and with that, end my turn." Johan declared, giving Setsuna a serious look. Showing that he will not back down at all. "It's your move, Set."

[Turn 4]

Setsuna didn't drew her card, instead she just glared at the two. Wanting to punch them for inflicting damage onto her, it hurt her pride.

"It's your move Set, play a card or pass." Johan stated.

She was stubborn, but drew her card finally. Slowly her expression changed into an excited smile, removing Keeper of the Shine and putting it into the graveyard.

"Keeper counts for 2 tributes, now I tribute summon, Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand to the field!" Setsuna called out, slamming the card she drew onto the monster zone. A bright golden light flashed throughout the field, blinding everyone, including the audience. After a few seconds, it dimmed down, revealing a golden colored dragon with giant claws on both its knees and arms. It was a true beauty, but also a threat for Johan and Takashi. "Now then... let me show you what happens when I get serious..."

Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand: *8

[Dragon/Effect] [ATK: 2800]

Her voice was different, it sounds intimidating but also gentle. Setsuna finally decided to not allow them to embarrass her anymore.
