Chapter 5-Elemental Beast VS Skyhawk! Muiko's Resolve-
"This is such an exciting duel we have here, ladies and gents! Both duelists are locked in battle! The earth is really being kicked! Their strategy is awesome, but to be honest with you, folks, our pro duelist, Ace Wings, has more advantages than our challenger! Will she overcome this?!" The announcer/referee said excitedly.
The crowds cheered louder. "My turn. I draw!" Ace drew a card. "I normal summon Skyhawk Bomber in attack mode!" A white pelican with a big green beak and large yellow throat pouch underneath it appeared on his side of the field. It was level 4 WIND Winged-Beast type monster with 1600 ATK and 1200 DEF. "I activate my Bomber's special ability! When this card is normal summoned successfully, for each Skyhawk monster on my side of the field, you receive 200x of damage. Since I have three in total, you receive 600 points of damage!" Ace declared. His pelican monster flied up, just above Muiko's head. She looked up as the pelican released 3 bombs with 200x labeled on them out of its mouth. She quickly dodged it, but she still felt the impact of the explosion. Her Life Points decreased to 2200. "However, that is not the end because I activate an Action card!" He said, holding a card on his hand. "Let me guess. Your bird monster found it for you?" Muiko guessed. "That's correct. I activate Repeat!"
The action spell showed an arrow that makes a U-turn. "This spell card allows me to repeat one of my monsters' effect. So, I repeat my Skyhawk Bomber's effect to attack your Life Points directly again!" The pelican released 3 more bombs at Muiko as she tried to dodge it.
"My, my! Ace's doing a great deal of damage to her Life Points! Our opponent, Muiko has only 1800 LP left!" The announcer said.
"Then, I place one card face down. Turn end!" He ended his turn with one card set in his Spell/Trap zone.
"My turn. I draw!" Muiko drew a card, but it wasn't very useful for this turn. She then decided to run to look for an Action card. "I end my turn." She said, feeling helpless, yet still holding on strongly.
"My turn. I draw!" Ace drew his card flashily. "Looking for an Action card, I see. Very well. I tribute my Skyhawk Icy Penguin to summon a Level 5 monster from my hand! Advance Summon!" Ace said strongly. A dark portal with magical seal shined below Icy Penguin, transforming it into a completely different monster. It was a vulture with dark green feathers and it carried a big shield on its claw feet as it flapped its wings. "Meet my Skyhawk Guardna Vulture!" Ace introduced. It is Level 5 WIND Winged-Beast monster with 2000 ATK. "I activate my Guardna Vulture's special ability! Once per turn, when I have two or more "Skyhawk" monster on my side of the field beside this guy, I can increase or decrease their level to the same level as Guardna Vulture!" Ace explained. Yellow aura surrounded Skyhawk Butterfly and Skyhawk Bomber as their level increases to 5. "Now, I overlay three of my Skyhawk monsters to construct an overlay network!" Ace announced.
"OMG, Mike! This is it! It is Ace's ace monster!" Hannah said excitedly.
"The mythical beast of the sky. Show your wings of beauty and take flight. Defend your nest with your power that can blow both lands and seas away! Xyz Summon! Rank 5, Skyhawk Storm Eagle!" A spiral galaxy-like portal appeared in the center of the field as his three Skyhawk monster turned into an energy and entered the portal. Giant eagle with light green feathered wings and big silver feet with three sharp claws for each squawked loudly and strongly as it came out of the portal, with terrifying 2700 ATK. Three yellow commits orbited its body.
"So, he is Xyz user." Muiko commented in her mind as she continues to search for an Action card.
"Next, I use the Spell card Monster Reborn from my hand, so I resurrect Skyhawk Wise Owl to my side of the field!" Ace added as a familiar owl flied out of the dark portal from the Graveyard. "Next, I activate the Equip Spell, Skyhawk Booster!" Ace added.
"What's that card do?" Muiko asked, sweating a bit nervously.
"What this card does is I equip it to one of my Skyhawk monsters, and then it gain 200 boosts in ATK for each Skyhawk monster on my side of the field, including itself. I have two, so it gains 400 points in ATK!" A blue aura surrounded Wise Owl, increasing its ATK from 1900 to 2300. "Then, I activate Storm Eagle's special ability! By using one overlay unit, it destroys all your monster on your side of the field, but in the exchange, I cannot declare my Storm Eagle to attack for this turn. Storm Eagle, destroy your foes with Gale Force!" Ace commanded. Skyhawk Storm Eagle flapped its wings so quickly that it created a huge wind storm, blowing Iron Hammerhead away into the Graveyard. Muiko hung on to the ground tightly, so she won't get blown away. She then noticed one card floating around the crazy wind storm.
"That's an Action card! I need to grab it!" She said in her mind. She released her fingers and flied away along with the winds. She reached for the Action card, and carefully landed back to the ground somehow.
"I then declare my Skyhawk Wise Owl to attack your Life Points directly! This duel is finished!" Ace declared. As the wind storm slowed down and got weaker until it stopped, Wise Owl flied toward Muiko with its vicious claw feet.
"Not so fast! I activate Action Spell, Avoid!" She said quickly. "With this card, I target one attacking monster on the field and negate its attack!" A shield appeared in front of Muiko, just about centimeter away from Wise Owl's claw feet. It flied back to Ace's side.
"You don't give up so easily, huh? Well. I end my turn here." Ace ended.
Muiko's heart beeped so strongly that she can hear it. Everything has come down to this draw. "If I don't draw the right card, it will be over." She thought. She closed her eyes, focusing on her Deck. She laid her finger on the top card and drew it. She looked at it, brining a grin on her face. "Now, it is time for you to meet my feather friend! I summon E.B. Mercury Eagle!" Muiko said confidently, yet calmly. A red metallic eagle with bright orange eyes squawked and flied on her side. Its body was the average side of a real eagle. "Then, I place one card and end my turn." She added, surprising everyone that that was her only move.
"Wait? That is it?" Ace asked. The students whispered confusingly.
"What the heck is she doing?" Said one female student.
"I think she's admitting her lose or something?" Said another. "
Oh my! It seems that your niece is giving up." Principal Moostache said worringly.
"I highly doubt that." Hector replied.
Principal Moostache stared at him confusingly.
"Alright then. It is your move. I draw!" Ace said. "I declare my Storm Eagle to attack your Mercury Eagle!"
Muiko smirked her face. "Not so fast! I activate the quick-play spell card, Cunning Instinct!" A spell card flipped up on her side of the field.
"What's that?!" Ace asked surprisingly.
"When my opponent monster declares an attack on E.B. monster on my side of the field, the attack is negated and inflict 500 points of damage to your Life Points!" Muiko explained. E.B. Mercury Eagle dodged Storm Eagle's attack and Ace's Life Points decreased to 2600. "It does not matter! I still have Wise Owl to attack!"
"I knew you would do that, too." Muiko said, smirking.
"What do you mean?" Ace asked, sweating a little.
"Because, I activate the Trap card, Negate Attack!" Muiko answered. Ace clenched his teeth as invisible force blocked Wise Owl's attack.
"Wait a sec?! Did you wait to activate that card for this moment? You could've activated that Trap when I declared my Storm Eagle to attack!" Ace said.
"I know that, but like you said, I waited for the right time." Muiko replied.
"Well, I set one card face down and end my turn here!" Ace decided, feeling impressed about Muiko's skill so far.
"Amazing, folks! Muiko managed to block both of Ace's monsters' attack!" The crowds cheered very loudly and excitedly.
"My turn. I draw!" She said. She looked at what she drew. "I set two cards and end my turn." Muiko said, ending her turn.
"My turn. I draw!" Ace said, drawing his card so strong that even Muiko felt the wind from it. "This time, I activate my Storm Eagle's special ability! I will destroy your E.B. Mercury Eagle and even if it can't attack because of its effect, I will let Wise Owl finish off the job after that! Go, my ace monster! Use Gale Force once more!" Ace commanded his monster.
"I was hoping you will do that!" Muiko admitted.
"What?!" Ace surprised.
"I activate E.B. Mercury Eagle's special ability. When my opponent activates monster's effect, I can negate that effect and you cannot allow it to activate it until your next Standby Phase!" Muiko explained. Mercury Eagle flapped its wing, releasing and shooting some kind of liquified red metal on Skyhawk Storm Eagle. Its effect was stopped.
"No way! Even so, I will just let Wise Owl to destroy your monster instead! You are now finished this time!" Wise Owl swooped in to attack, but the card that Muiko set from her last turn flipped up.
"Not so fast! I activate my trap card, Beast Eyes!" It depicted terrifying eyes of some cat animals hiding behind a bush, looking at an innocent white rabbit. "This trap card is activated when my opponent declares an attack on my Elemental Beast. It negate your monster's attack!" E.B. Mercury Eagle made a horrific face, scaring Wise Owl and making it fly back to Ace's side.
"Damn it. I end my turn here." Ace said, clenching his teeth.
"This is it. This turn will determine my duel!" Muiko thought.
Muiko drew her card in a flashily way. "Let's go, Mercury Eagle!" She said as she begun running and her eagle followed her.
"I will not let you get away that easily!" Ace yelled as he and his monster chased after her. Muiko run as fast as possible until she see a tree. One of the branches was holding an Action card.
"I need to get that card! Mercury Eagle!" She called to her eagle. Her monster understood her, and fly faster, ahead of her.
"No you won't! Wise Owl! Storm Eagle! Stop her monster!" Ace ordered. His two bird beasts flied ahead of him, chasing after Mercury Eagle.
"If she gets that Action spell card, she might able to win this duel!" Mike said.
"But, if she doesn't, my Ace will win!" Hannah said.
"Hannah, I told you before, but he is not your boyfriend." Mike sighed.
"Please get it for me, Mercury Eagle. You are my last hope!" Muiko thought.
The two Skyhawk monsters were just inch away behind Mercury Eagle, but Mercury Eagle successfully snatched the Action card from the tree's branch. Ace's face turned surprised. Her eagle brought the Action card to her hand.
"I activate the Action spell card, Green Charm of Luck!" Muiko announced. The card depicted a human hand holding a glory four-leaf clover.
"Unbelievable, folks! Muiko is using this Field Spell's strongest Action card!" The announcer said. The crowds cheered very loudly.
"This card allows me to special summon one Level 8 or lower monster from my Deck! And, I know one monster in my deck. I special summon E.B. Oxygen Elephant from my deck!" Muiko declared, taking out the card from her deck and placed it on the field.
Suddenly, winds picked up. A portal with magical seal appeared in front of Muiko. Out of the portal summoned an elephant. Its body was mint green with long trunk and white tusks. It has the periodic symbol O for Oxygen on its forehead. It breathed in the air and hoofed out the air. "Phhooooooooooooooooffff!" E.B. Oxygen Elephant is a Level 8 WIND Beast monster with 2000 ATK and 3000 DEF.
Everyone was surprised of its huge size. "Now, I declare my E.B. Oxygen Elephant to attack your Skyhawk Storm Eagle!" Muiko decided. Oxygen Elephant ram ahead to Storm Eagle.
"What?! But, your Oxygen Elephant has lower ATK than my Storm Eagle!" Ace warned.
"That's true, but here I activate the action card's second effect! The monster that I special summoned gains 1000 ATK during the Battle Step!" Muiko explained. E.B Oxygen Elephant's ATK increased to 3000.
"Not so fast! I activate Skyhawk Icy Penguin's special ability! I remove it from play in the Graveyard so that I negate your monster's attack!" Ace declared. An icy blizzard blocked Oxygen Elephant's attack, protecting Storm Eagle at just the right time. "Unfortunately, that won't stop me! I activate the quick-play spell card, Double or Nothing!" Muiko added as the second face-down card flipped up. Everyone gasped, including Ace.
"Double or Nothing?! That's a spell card that increases your monster's ATK multiplied by 2 when its attack was negated!" Ace explained surprisingly.
"Of course. And, it also get a chance to attack again! Go, E.B. Oxygen Elephant! Attack Storm Eagle!"
E.B. Oxygen Elephant breathed in a lot of air very deeply. Its trunk got fat in the process, but released it, blowing a powerful wind, which blew away the blizzard and his monster to the Graveyard.
"Gaaaahhhh!" Ace screamed, losing all of his Life Points.
Muiko wins as the victory screen displayed. His monster gave a victorious roar before the field faded away. The crowds were silence until the announcer/referee spoke first.
"A..a..Ladies and gentlemen! We have a winner! The victory goes to Muiko Griffon!" The announcer announced following after a big cheer. Ace got up, and walked up to Muiko.
"Congratulations! You have passed your test. Welcome to Star Academy." He said, giving her a hand for handshake.
She looked at her hand for a moment, and gave her to make a handshake. "Well. It looks like your niece is accepted into our school. She is truly a strong duelist. The strongest I ever seen." Principal Moostache commented to Hector Griffon. He noticed that Hector was gone.
"Where did Mr. Griffon go?" He asked to his secretary.
"He just left, sir. He told me that she will come to school starting tomorrow." His secretary told him.
"I see. Very well then! This year is going to be very interesting one!" He said grinning.
