Chapter 8
Brother vs. Sister! Turnabout Miracle
"Not so fast, sis! I activate Tobi the Flute Komuso's monster effect!" Yusuke declared as his monster sang through its flute. "During my opponent's turn, I can target one monster I control on the field, changing its Battle position until my standby phase! I target Tobi the Flute Komuso itself to Defense positon!"
Stream of notes encircled his monster on itself, brightening it up for a moment as it goes into defense mode before Ursa Majorsubject slashed it in half.
"Not bad. You predicted my attack, but that won't stop me!" Yumi exclaimed. "I play the Spell card, Conscholar Dunk Meteor!"
She placed the Spell card on the field, depicting Mascot Leo dunking basketball as he dodged other monsters on the basketball court before he dunk the ball into the hoop.
"When this card activates, I can inflict damage equal to the difference of my Conscholar monster's ATK and the destroyed monster's DEF. Ursa Majorsubject's ATK is 2700 and Tobi's DEF is 1000, so you take 1700 points of damage!"
Suddenly, a meteor-shaped basketball appeared out of the air as Ursa Majorsubject played around with it. It drippled it several times until it dunk into a hoop that magically appeared above Yusuke, hitting him on the head.
"Oooofff." Yusuke cried as a big bump flashed in red.
Yusuke's LP: 2300.
"Uhh, that's got to hurt." Haruka said.
Yusuke slowly stood back up.
Yumi just calmly stared at him. "I set a card and end my turn. I highly recommend you to quit this Duel, brother and just leave me be."
"Sorry, sis! I won't stop bugging you until you are back to your old self!" Yusuke exclaimed. "My turn, I draw!"
"Since you control a monster on the field and I don't, I Special Summon Cocobird !"
This new monster was a yellow baby chick with a cracked egg shell on its head. It had bright blue eyes, orange feet, and golden yellow feathers. The egg shell was covered with chocolate syrup and little cherry on the top.
Cocobird-Level 1, WIND, Winged-Beast/Effect, 0 ATK, 0 DEF.
"Then, I activate my face down card, Call of the Haunted!" He flipped up the face down card. "I bring back Tobi the Flute Komuso from my Graveyard!" His monster returned to side of the field in face-up Defense position.
"Hmph! I know what you are planning to do, brother. During my next turn, you will use Tobi the Flute Komuso's effect to change Cocobird's position to Defense mode, protecting you from heavy battle damage. Then, whatever card you'll place face down will do some favor for you, whether if it means to hurt my Life Points or something else. Either way, I won't let you do anything! Trap open! Conscholar Detention!"
The card depicted a Conscholar teacher-like monster keeping an eye on other monsters as students, such as frightened Winged Kuriboh, Gagaga Girl who was using her cell phone and texting to someone, Blue Eyes Toon Dragon who looked anxious to get out of the room, and Giant Solder of Stone just staring in space. What, he is literally a soldier made of stone? What do you expect from him? Knitting?
"As long as this Trap card remains face-up on the field, my opponent cannot change his or her monster's position." Yumi said.
"Oh crap!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Continue with your turn, so I can end this quicker." Yumi demanded.
Yusuke gritted his teeth, but calmed down and just smiled at his sister. "Don't worry, Yumi. The show has only just begun. I set two cards face down and end my turn."
"Yusuke, it seems that your opponent can read your strategy well." His mirror-self stated, appearing in his ghost form next to Yusuke.
"Yeah I know. She is my sister after all. She and I Dueled a lot back when we were kids."
"Perhaps it is best for us to switch. She won't know how I think compared to how you think."
"Don't worry, I will be fine, my other me!" He smiled with a V sign.
"Hey Yusuke! Who are you talking to?" Haruka questioned out loud, looking a bit worried.
"Huh? Oh my bad!" Yusuke put on his joker face as he rubbed the back of his head.
Yumi looked perplexing, but ignored it. "My turn. Draw!"
She drew her card, which was her only card in her hand currently. "Since I can't do anything else as of now, you might live for one more turn. Nonetheless, I declare Ursa Majorsubject to attack…Tobi the Flute Komuso!"
"Wait, what!?" Yusuke and Haruka said simultaneously.
Her Synchro monster used its mechanical pencil as it charged forward, pointing at Tobi as it staved through him. He cried before he exploded with smokes, but when the smoke cleared, his monster was still there and Ursa Majorsubject's pencil was staving a ninja-clothed dummy instead.
"Hmph?" Yumi looked perplexed.
"Trap Card, open! Dummy Ninja!" Yusuke revealed as one of his set cards was flipped up. It depicted a dummy dressed as a ninja in an epic, explosive action scene in the background.
"When my monster is targeted for an attack, this Trap will negate that attack and it strikes 500 points of damage to you, sis! Go, Dummy Skuriken!"
The dummy ninja got off the pencil from its chest, and threw multiple skurikens at Yumi. She blocked the attack as she took damage.
Yumi's LP: 3500
"Hmph, predictable! I end my turn here."
"Alright! My turn! I draw!" Yusuke drew his card enthusiastically. The card he drew was his ace monster. "Hey sis, why didn't you attack Cocobird, but instead Tobi?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Cocobird has 0 ATK, so would've it been smarter to attack it? You could've won by doing that."
"Hey, Yusuke's right about that for once. If she had attack Cocobird, she would've won this Duel, but why didn't she do that?" Haruka said.
"Hmph! Are you suggesting something? This is all part of my strategy to defeat! I won't make a simple move like that, you idiot!"
"Well, OK. Whatever sis."
"Yusuke, I am curious to know why she hadn't attack your weakest monster, and I have a feeling you know the answer. What is it?" His mirror-self questioned.
"I am not sure, but I think somewhere deep down in her, she is fighting against that evil Mirror monster possessing her."
"That could be, but we better be careful."
"Seriously? Who is he talking to?" Haruka thought.
"OK, sis! I tribute my Cocobird to Advance Summon Card Jester!" Cocobird shone in light, being replaced with a new monster. This one was a man wearing a jester mask with jester hat, purple cape with star pattern, and black suit. He shuffled a deck of cards wildly before making a pose.
Card Jester-Level 5, DARK, Spellcaster/Effect, 1800 ATK, 1600 DEF.
"Now I activate his monster effect! During my Main Phase, I can draw a number of card equals to the difference between the number of card you have in your hand currently and ones that I have on my hand. I have one and sis, you have two cards. This means I get to draw 1 card!" He said excitedly as he put two fingers on his hand. "I draw!"
He slowly looked at the card, revealing to be the card he needs. "Oh yeah! Lucky me! I play the Spell card, Magic Box!" The said Spell appeared on his field, which is the card he used like 4 chapters ago.
"With this, I can Special Summon 1 Spellcaster monster from my hand or Deck! I choose my one and only Masquerade Caped Crusader from my hand!" His ace monster appeared in spectacles of rainbow fireworks as he made its signature pose.
"Alright! With Crusader on his side, Yusuke can destroy Ursa Majorsubject, even with higher ATK than both of his monsters." Haruka said.
"It's time to battle! I declare Masquerade Caped Crusader to attack with its effect activated!" Yusuke declared as his monster begin attacking with a rainbow energy beam. "When he attacks a monster with 2000 or more ATK, that monster is destroyed and you take damage equals to half of that destroyed monster's ATK!"
The energy beam blasted Ursa Majorsubject, causing it to cry before it obliterated. Yumi blocked the attack by crossing her arms.
Yumi's LP: 2150
"But, I am not done yet, sis! I declare my Card Jester to direct attack you! Go! Card Storm!" Card Jester summoned a powerful twister with bunch of cards twirling around it. He aimed it at Yumi, which caused her to fly off. She grabbed on the ground when she landed back.
Yumi's: 350
"Yeah! Pretty good move, don't you think sis?" Yusuke asked with a V sign.
Yumi got up with her face even more serious and angry than before. "You'll pay for that!"
"Oh oh, I might have pushed her button too far!" Yusuke cried.
"Yusuke, be careful. I believe that she will summon the monster!" His mirror-self warned.
"My turn, I draw!" Yumi said, drawing the card as dark wave energy emanated from her. She looked at the card and grinned evilly. "I normal summon Conscholar Ursa Minorsubject!"
This one was a miniature version of Ursa Majorsubject, except that the pencil it carried was colorful and it had a lot of stickers and button pin on its backpack.
Conscolar Ursa Minorsubject-Level: 3, EARTH, Beast/Tuner, 800 ATK, 800 DEF.
"Conscolar Ursa Minorsubject's effect activates! If Ursa Majorsubject is in the Graveyard, I can Special Summon it! Return! Conscular Ursa Majorsubject!"
Her Synchro returned as it roared strongly.
"Oh man. I just destroyed that thing!" Yusuke moaned.
"Now, I tune my Level 6 Ursa Majorsubject with Level 3 Tuner, Ursa Minor Subject!" Yumi declared as Ursa Minor roared strongly before turning into 3 green rings. Ursa Majorsubject jumped through the rings, turning into 6 spheres of light and energy beam pierced through those spheres and the rings.
"Great Dragon of Mind, shares the people of this world with your vast wide of knowledge, to create this world into a better, more smarter world, a world with no error! Synchro Summon! Arise! Leve 9! Conscholar Library Draco!"
Emerged out of the light, a large purple dragon with pink underbelly appeared. It looked something out of a classic fairy tale. It had a large sideways book for a head similar to Toon World, two large cartoon eyes, and teeth made of razor sharp papers.
Conscholar Library Draco-Level 9, WIND, Dragon/Synchro, 2600 ATK, 2300 DEF.
It roared strongly at Yusuke's two Spellcaster monsters, presenting its 2600 ATK.
"Woah! Yumi Synchro Summoned a Level 9 monster!" Haruka exclaimed. "Although, why it has 2600 ATK? I thought it would have higher ATK for being a Level 9 monster."
Yusuke grinned nervously as he sweated. "It looks like you summoned your ace monster, sis. This feels awesome! It reminds me of the old day when we Dueled one vs. one with my ace monster and yours. Do you remember that?"
Yumi smirked unimpressively. "If you stop reminding me about the past, focus on the present instead! Remember that I will defeat you! I activate Draco's monster effect! By removing from play one Conscholar monster in my Graveyard, I can destroy one monster on your side of the field! I choose your Masquerade Cape Crusader!"
She removed from play Ursa Minorsubject from the Graveyard as it transformed into an energy, being swallowed into Draco. Draco roared as it blasted Crusader with a stream of sharp paper at him.
Caped Crusader cried in pain before it destroyed. "Then, you take damage equals to half of that monster!"
The stream of sharp paper bombarded on Yusuke as he covered himself with both arms.
"Argh! Paper cuts!" Yusuke cried.
Yusuke's LP: 1050
"However, I am not done yet! I play the Spell card, Monster Reborn from my hand! I bring back my Ursa Majorsubject!" Her first Synchro returned to the field again. "Then, I use it as a material for Mirror Summon!"
"Here it comes, Yusuke!" His mirror-self yelled.
A mirror portal appeared behind her monster as dark pink light opened up the portal, swallowing Ursa Majorsubject.
"Mirror, mirror, hear my wish! Punish my foe for being so misbehave! Mirror Summon! Come out, Supreme Principal Lord!"
Out of the portal came out a very tall figure. He had a long white mustache and beard, and black spectacle. He wore white and purple long clothes, looking like what a king would wear.
Supreme Principal Lord-Shard 6, LIGHT, 2500 ATK, 2000 DEF.
"Woah! That thing is tall! Very tall!" Yusuke shouted, awestruck.
"Supreme Principal Lord's effect activates! I select one monster on your side of the field and remove it from play for a turn. Detention Vanish!" Yumi declared.
Her Mirror monster gestured its hand like if it is chanting as Card Jester disappeared from the field.
"No, Card Jester!"
"Don't worry. It will return on your next other turn, but now you're wide-opened! I declare Supreme Principal Lord to direct attack! Expulsion!"
Her Mirror monster charged up energy with both its hand.
"No way…." Yusuke said.
"No! This can't be! Yusuke's hand is empty as well as his field!" Haruka yelled.
"I can't believe it! I'm going to lose this Duel!" He cried.
"One last words, brother." Yumi said. "You Dueled well, but you're very stupid even when it comes to Dueling. You should have thought up a plan beforehand. If I were you, that's what I will do. Now…it is time to end this! I attack with my monster! Expulsion Blast!"
Her Mirror monster shot a powerful red energy beam at Yusuke.
"CRAP! This is not good, and not even my second set card can save me here!" He yelled. Suddenly, something shined from his Deck. A orb of light appeared from his Deck, blocking the attack just in time.
"What the!?" Yumi gasped.
"Huh?" Yusuke said, confused as he looked to see what was going on. He realized the orb of light was some kind of monster. The monster was some kind of blond fairy with transparent wings and wore green clothes, similar to Tinkle Bell.
Pixie Miracle-Level 1, LIGHT, Fairy/Effect, 0 ATK, 0 DEF.
"Hey, wait a second. That's right!" Yusuke realized. "Sorry sis, but this Duel can't end here!"
"What!?"
"Because I activates my monster, Pixie Miracle's effect!" Yusuke exclaimed. "When I have no cards in my hand and I am targeted for direct attack, I can Special Summon this card from my Deck to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase for this turn!"
"WHAT!?"
The energy blast well off. "Thanks, Pixie Miracle. You saved my butt just in time." Yusuke thanked his monster, which she replied with a wink before she disappeared. Her card was sent to the Graveyard.
"Damn it! I….forgot that you had that card in your Deck! Curses!" Yumi cried.
"Never underestimate your bro, sis! So, is it your end of the turn?" He asked.
"Grgh! I set a card and end my turn…" Yumi finished, feeling displeased.
"OK! Let's do this thing! My turn…" Yusuke placed his fingers on the top of his Deck. "DRAW!"
He slowly looked at the card he drew. It was the familiar, classic Spell card. "Hey, my other me. I think it is time to show my sis that monster."
His mirror-self nodded. "Yes, it looks like it is the right time to do that."
"OK! Let's do this thing! I play the Spell, Monster Reborn!" Yusuke said, bringing back his one and only ace monster.
"Fool! You think I will fall for its effect for second time! Trap card, open! Conscholar Gymnastics!" It depicted bunch of monster in a Gym class, whom some of them were struggling.
"As long as this card remains face up, I can target one monster on your side of the field and prevent you from activating its effect as long as I control a Conscholar monster!"
Suddenly, Caped Crusader was trapped by using an exercise tool for his arms.
"There! Now that your ace monster's effect is sealed, it can't destroy any of my monsters!"
"You 're right, sis. My ace monster can't destroy any of your monsters, but I have another monster that can."
"What!?
"I use my Masquerade Caped Crusader as a material for Mirror Summon!"
"WHAT!?"
Suddenly, the blue mirror portal appeared behind his monster, swallowing him whole. Yusuke emanated blue wave energy as he transformed to his mirror-self.
"Yusuke…he changed just like before." Haruka said.
"Mirror, mirror, hear my wish! Reveal my monster's true color and strength! Bring out the dark crusader who fights for justice from the shadows!" Yusuke chanted. "Mirror Summon! Release from your mirror prison! Dark Sealed Avenger!"
The almighty Mirror monster appeared out of the portal ready for battles.
"What!? You can Mirror Summon, too!?" Yumi exclaimed.
"Yes, I can, my young sister. Now, I declare Dark Sealed Avenger to attack your Supreme Principal Lord!" He declared. "At this point, its monster effect activates! When he attacks a monster with 2000 or more ATK during the Battle Phase, your monster's ATK is cut in half and that other half goes to Dark Sealed Avenger's ATK!"
"What!? That can't be!" Yumi gasped. She soon realized a shadow was connecting to her monster as it sucked energy and transferred it to Dark Sealed Avenger, resulting an increase in that monster's ATK.
"Now, attack! Charged Justice Fist!" Dark Sealed Avenger sealed the deal, punching Supreme Principal Lord as it cried in pain before it exploded wildy.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!"
Yumi's LP: 0
Winner: Yusuke
The wave field disappeared along with their monsters.
Yusuke ran up to his young sister, which at this point, he was still in his mirror-self.
"Yumi!"
He reached her as he put her head on his lap.
"Yumi!" Haruka yelled.
"Yumi, wake up."
Yumi slowly opened her eyes. "Big….brother. What happened?"
"Yumi..." He said, smiling at her. "You are OK. What had happen was that we Dueled, just like in the old times."
"Really, but I…I…tried to hurt you." Yumi said weakly as tear dripped down her eyes.
"Do not cry, my young sister. It is alright and it is not your fault. I'm fine. I am here with you now, you know."
"Big brother…thank you." Yumi said, thanking him.
Suddenly, a vision of memory popped in his mind.
"What the?" He asked in his mind.
He saw a woman with long blue hair. Her face was away from him, but she slowly turned to her side, revealing her face. Her skin was pale white and her eyes were crystal cyan color. She wore an unusual attire; it was a white dress with some flower pattern. She looked something like a goddess from a Greek mythology or certain video game I know (and maybe you know, too).
Hello, my…
The vision stopped there.
"Hey, Yusuke! Yusuke!" Haruka yelled.
He snapped out of his thought and said to her, "Yes?"
"We should take her back home." Haruka said, reminding him about Yumi.
He looked back at his baby sister, who fell into a deep sleep. He just smiled softly. "Yes. We should."
He carried her with his arm as they walked together back home.
-Not Yusuke's POV-
Later that night, at the IDLC HQ building…
"Good job, Mr. Ken. I will send your credits immediately. You will see the change in the next morning." Chief Manager Sazaki said, talking with a man on the video call.
"Thank you, sir." The man said before the call was turned off.
Sazaki looked through all the photos, which all of them are all of Yusuke's Duel involving the Mirror monsters.
"Interesting…Yes…" He mumbled. He pressed something on his Deck, opening another video call tom someone. When the contact was reach, a woman's face appeared. She had brown hair, long and curly on the side.
"Good evening, sir." She said.
"Ms. Aiko. I would like to meet the king."
"Yes sir. I will get the car ready, sir." She said before the call was turned off.
Chief Manager Sazaki went downstairs to the basement parking lot by elevator. Soon, the elevator opened where he was confronted by his secretary, Ms. Aiko, who was wearing a formal business attire. She opened the door to the car. Sazaki entered the car as she closed the door besides him. She opened the other door to the driver's seat, and begins driving away.
They drove to a fancy apartment. They entered the building, and took the elevator, all the way to the top roof.
They arrived at the top roof, which was a villa. They walked up to the front door and Ms. Aiko pressed on the doorbell.
Meanwhile, a young male adult was playing a first person shooter game, which looked similar to Call of Duty. He had red hair, crimson red eyes, tan skin, and wearing black shirt with an X and blue jean. He didn't listen to the buzz once, but when there was a second time, he heard it and went up to the video com on the wall.
He saw Ms. Aiko and Chief Manager Sazaki, sighing as he looked disappointed. He pressed and hold the button, and said, "Yeah. What do you guys want?"
"Mr. Kai, Chief Manager Sazaki-san want to speak with you."
He sighed deeply. "Fine. You two can come in."
They opened the front door, taking off their shoes first before they go in. Ms. Aiko placed their shoes neatly before she entered as well.
They walked up to the living room where they meet him, slouching on the couch while playing the video game.
"So, what is it this time? It better not be anything to do with the tournament and all those bullshit."
"Mr. Kai, please the language." Ms. Aiko stated.
"It is alright, Ms. Aiko." Chief Manager Sazaki said. "My King, more or less, it is like that, but instead, I have a suggestion for you.
He looked at the manager with a glaring eye. "What kind of suggestion?"
"You see, there is an interesting Duelist out of the city at a nearby town that I recommend you to Duel. He uses a very interesting, never-before seen summoning mechanic called Mirror Summoning."
He looked at him with uninterested eyes. "Yeah. So, what about it?"
"I want you to Duel this Duelist. His name is Yusuke Kagami, age 15, little experience in Junior Tournament. Something that you wouldn't be too much of a trouble for you, of course, but it will be a good challenge for you."
"Oh, so you came all the way here from your office to tell me to Duel whoever he is. Hmph! No thanks. I rather just stay here and play video games, and do whatever stuff I want to do. Dueling is no fun anyway."
Aiko looked unsure and sad after hearing that. However, Sazaki still pursued. "Your Kingship, I know about your preferences very well after these 4 years, but at least give this a try. You can just Duel this young man once and be off with your life afterward. It is only just one Duel. What harm could it have…unless you're worried that you will lose."
"Chief Manager Sazaki-san…" Aiko said.
The red-haired lad turned around, facing him. "You're suggesting that I will lose to this punk if I Duel him?"
"I am not saying that, but who knows. These days, a lot of strong Duelists are on the rise. Someday, you may fight a strong rival. This boy could be him."
"Hmph! Listen Chief, I know you know me for a long time, but I guess you forgot my motto…"
"Oh, do remind me about that. How did it go again, Atsushi-kun?" He asked.
"The only Duelist who can defeat me in a Duel…is me." Atsushi Kai said, smiling slyly as he said it.
Author's Note: Hey, guys. What do you guys think of this chapter? I hope you readers and followers enjoyed the result of this Duel? What do you of Pixie Miracle? I know it is kind of OP, but I think it is fair enough for her effect to activate in a certain, dire situation. So, it looks like we finally will see the Kaiba-like rival character in this fanfiction finally! So, what do you think will happen? Do you like Atsushi Kai's personality? His personality is more or less based on Aomine from Kuroko No Basuke anime/manga series. I will add the New Cards Cheat Sheet at later time (Do not worry, I will post them ASAP).
Next times in Yu-Gi-Oh Mirror, Yusuke will Duel against his long time role model, Atsushi Kai, the King of the Duelist in "The King, Atsushi Kai." See you all next time and have a nice Happy Thanksgiving coming this week for you all American readers!
