New chapter is now available. I would like to say a special thanks to Cojobo for his honest review. Also to announce that I have edited all the previous chapters to fix some errors and one big mistake I made in my writing for the dueling part. Do not worry about it because I fixed it. If you find any mistakes in the dueling part, say that I accidentally wrote that a monster attacked an opponent's Life Points directly after the Battle Phase for example. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this chapter an if you have anything to say, please leave a review. Enjoy!
Chapter 6-Love Triangle-
One day has passed since Muiko got accepted into the academy by winning her duel against Ace Wings, the school's pro duelist. As part of the agreement, Muiko was now an official student at Star Academy and already she became very popular because of her victory in the duel. She arrived at the school by Hector's limousine. All the male students started at her.
"Seriously? What's wrong with these guys?" She thought, feeling annoyed. The school bell rang, telling everyone that classes are in session. Out of some luck, Muiko was in Mike and Hannah's classroom.
"Alright, class! Since we missed a day because of yesterday's event, we have a lot of stuff to cover." Teacher announced. "But, first, let's welcome our newest classmate joining us this year. Please welcome, Miss Muiko Griffon!" Everyone clapped their hands as a way to welcome her in friendly manner.
"So, Miss Griffon, is there anything you want to say about yourself to the class?" Teacher asked. She stared for a moment until she opened her lip.
"I..hope that I'll get along well with..each of you." She answered. Everyone clapped again, even though she didn't say much.
"Alrighty then! As for your seat, how about you sit at the..empty desk at the right corner of the room." Muiko walked to her seat, which was next to where Mike was sitting. She and Mike looked at each for a second, but she sat down without saying any words.
The school bell rang, which was now 30 min lunch time. Everyone headed to the cafeteria. Muiko got her plate and sat alone at a table, away from everyone else. Mike noticed her sitting alone.
"Hey, Mike! Want to sit at the usual place?" Hannah asked.
"Huh? Oh, umm, actually I think I will sit at a different seat this time." He replied. He walked up to the table where Muiko was sitting as Hannah watched him go away.
"I was right. He is interested in that girl!" Hannah thought.
"Um. Excuse me." Mike said nervously. Muiko looked up at him, which spook him a little. "Um. Is it ok if I sit here?" He asked.
"...Do whatever you want." She replied, sounded like she does not care at all, but without hesitation, he sat down on the other side of the table across from her.
"Say...if I may ask a question, do you remember me?" He asked, sweating a little.
"You?" She asked.
"Yes. I am not sure if you remember 4 days ago, but you are the one who saved me." He whispered to her. "...Don't remember." She replied.
Mike felt downfall as dark purple cloud hovered above his head, signifying that he felt sad. "Oh I see." He replied, feeling down. "Hello, Muiko and friend." A male voice said.
They looked up, revealing to be Ace. "Oh! Hello, Ace." Mike greeted.
"Nice to meet you." Ace replied with a smile.
"Oh, what do you want?" Muiko asked.
"Well, I was going to ask if you want to go on a date with me this weekend." Ace proposed.
Hannah's ear heard what he said, giving a shock to her heart. Even Mike felt surprised, too. "A date?" Muiko asked. "That's right. I can show you around the city if you like." Ace explained.
"...No thank. I am not into such thing." She answered coldly as she walked away, finished with her lunch.
"That was kind of cold." Mike thought. "Oh well. I guess I will try next time." Ace thought loudly.
After Ace left, Hannah stormed up to Mike as he noticed a strong heat emanating from her. "Wo! Hannah?!" He asked terrified.
"That girl! I can't believe Ace asked her on a date!" She said angrily.
"Hold on, Hannah! She declined his offer, although." Mike said, trying to calm her down.
"That's it! I will teach her lesson or two after school!" She said as she stomped away while other students stepped away from her to let her through.
"Oh boy." Mike sighed.
After the classes end for the day, all the students got out, feeling freedom in the air. Muiko quietly got out of the building as everyone rushed out. Mike was just behind her and walking up to her.
"Hey Muiko!" Mike yelled. Muiko heard him, so she turned around.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I need to warn you about my friend. She is.." When Mike was speaking, he got interrupted when he felt a powerful, yet scary energy from behind him. It was his friend, Hannah in fiery rage.
"Hannah! It's you!" Mike gasped.
"Hey, you!" She pointed at Muiko. Muiko just stared at her. "I want to teach you a lesson! In a duel! Right here and now!" She declared loudly, enough for every passing students to hear.
"A duel?" Muiko asked.
"Yes, a duel!" Hannah answered loudly.
"Hey, Hannah! Calm down! Let's not get work up over it!" Mike said, trying to calm her down.
"No, Mike! You stay out of it! Let's duel at the school arena! It is vacant now!" Few minutes later, Muiko and angry Hannah were now in the arena. Mike and few other students who wanted to see the duel were watching.
"Why does this have to happen?" He sighed.
"This is going to be cool!" One student commented.
"I know right, dude! Two girls fighting in a duel. This is going to be intense!" Said another one.
"Time to get my revenge! Field Spell on! Fairies' Spring activates!" Hannah announced. The arena transformed into a clean, beautiful woodland with a big clean spring in the center. There were big lily pods, big enough for a person to stand on.
"Duelists locked in battle!" Hannah said. Muiko just stayed still, but Mike got in to say the other part of the oath.
"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" He said.
"They storm through the field!" Hannah said after him.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! Action..." Both Hannah and Mike said. "DUEL!" Hannah and Muiko declared strongly.
The action cards above them burst and scattered as their LP began at 4000.
"I will go first." Hannah said decisively. She looked at her cards she have currently, and picked one up. "I normal summon Pixie Mei in attack mode!" A pixie with blue hair, blue eyes, chibi-face, and short wings that sparkle like a crystal appeared on her side. It was a Level 2 LIGHT fairy-type monster with 300 ATK and 0 DEF. "Next, I activate a spell card, Pixie Draw, from my hand!" She said, revealing a card that depicted four pixies carrying big card from the top of the deck.
"Pixie Draw?" Muiko asked, never seen the card before.
"It's a Normal Spell card that allows me to draw number of cards equals to the level of my Pixie monster on my side of the field. Pixie Mei's Level is 2, so I get to draw two cards!" Hannah explained, as she drew two cards and added them to her hand. "Next, I activate Continuous Spell card, Pixie Fountain!" A fountain made of crystal appeared behind her, rising out of the ground as water filled it up. "Then, I set one card. Turn end!" She finished.
"Since I'm Hannah's friend for long time, I know what she's planning. I hope that you are prepared for this, Muiko." Mike thought.
Muiko sensed something odd about her monster, even though it looked cute. "My turn. I draw!" She said, as she drew a card. "I normal summon E.B. Copper Bull in attack mode!" A familiar copper-colored bull roared into the field. "I declare my Copper Bull to attack your Pixie Mei! Go, Copper Bull! Copper Fury!" Muiko declared. E.B. Copper Bull rammed toward Pixie Mei. Pixie Mei screamed painfully as it got hit by Copper Bull's sharp, tough horns. "Pixie Mei!" Hannah yelled. Hannah's Life Points decreased by 1500, leaving her 2500 left. "I place two cards face down and end my turn." Muiko said, as she set two cards and ended her turn.
"My turn. I draw!" Hannah drew her card. "Good news for me! Pixie Mei does not stay down forever." Muiko looked at her, thinking what's she talking about. "I activate Pixie Mei's special ability! When she is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can special summon her back to the field by paying my LPs equal to her ATK!" Hannah elaborated. The same blue pixie returned to the field. Her Life Points went down, but strangely go up.
"What the? Why did your Life Points increased?" Muiko noticed loudly. "You have noticed? Well, let me explain. As long as my Pixie Fountain is face up on the field, I gain extra Life Points equal to the ATK of my Pixie monster whenever it is special summoned from the Graveyard. So, I gain LP equal to Pixie Mei's ATK." Hannah explained. Her Life Points were now back to 2500.
"Hmph. So, you pay some of your Life Points to bring back your monster through its effect, but regain it back, thanks to your Spell card." Muiko summarized.
"That's right." Hannah noted.
"That's her classic trick. You better watch out, Muiko, or she will throw out something even nastier!" Mike thought.
"After I summoned her, I can now special summon her friend, Pixie Ay in attack mode!"
A new pixie appeared next to Pixie Mei. This one had red spiky hair, red eyes, and chibi-face. Its height was the same as Pixie Mei. It was a Level 2 LIGHT fairy-type monster with 200 ATK and 0 DEF. "Thanks to her effect, I can special summon her when I special summoned a Pixie monster during this turn. Now, I release two of them to tribute a stronger monster from my hand!" Hannah announced. "Warrior of the Pixie clan! Protect this scared land and their innocent creatures! Advance Summon! Level 7! Pixie Knight Commandore!"
Her two Pixies turned into two bright energies as it formed into a new monster. This one was a tall woman, wearing silver armor and helmet, and carried a sword. It has 2700 ATK. Muiko, feeling suspicious about this monster, began running to find an Action Card. "I then activate my Commandore's special ability! It allows me to special summon certain number of Pixie monster from my Graveyard equal to the number of cards I discard from my hand. I discard the only two cards I have left on my hand to special summon my two Pixies back to the field!" Hannah explained as she sent two cards from her hand and retrieved back two of her Pixie cards, and then placed them face up on the field.
Pixie Knight Commandore waved with her sword in the air, cutting it to open a portal that even broke the fabric of reality. Two familiar Pixie came out of it before it closed up. "And, thanks to my Pixie Fountain, I gain total of 500 LPs." Hannah said, as her life points increased to 3000. "But, I won't end there!" She ran to the spring lake and jumped from lily pad to lily pad until she found an Action Card, laying on one of the lily pads. Without hesitation, she activated it. "I activate Action Card, Fairy Dance!" She announced strongly.
The action card that Hannah activated showed some fairies dancing in the field of flowers. "This spell card increases my Life Points by 500!" Hannah explained as her life points were now 3500. "Battle Phase! I declare my Pixie Knight Commandore to attack your E.B. Copper Bull!" Hannah declared. Pixie Knight Commandore sliced E.B. Copper Bull in half as it cried painfully. Muiko's Life Points decreased to 3100. "Then, I declare my two Pixie to attack your LP directly!" The two Pixie monsters jumped at Muiko, releasing two energy balls.
"Not so fast! I activate the Trap card, Roar of the Wild!" Muiko announced. "This card allows me to special summon one Level 4 or lower level E.B. monster from my Deck when one E.B. monster is destroyed by battle! Then, my deck is shuffled. I special summon E.B. Iron Hammerhead!" A familiar hammerhead shark appeared on Muiko's side. Hannah clenched her teeth.
"Oooooooo! I thought I will do at least some decent damage to you. Fine! I will just end my turn here!" Hannah frustrated, calling off her attack.
"My turn. I draw!" Muiko drew her card. She looked at her 4 cards at the same time still running. She didn't have the necessary card to defeat her strongest monster on the field, so she decided to stay on the defense. She saw an action card, hanging on the tree. She jumped high and caught the card. "Good! I activate Action Card, Defense Summon!"
The spell card showed Elemental Hero Clayman being summoned in defense mode. "This card allows me to special summon a monster in defense mode from my hand or Deck, but in exchange, I cannot declare my Battle Phase for this turn." Muiko explained. "I special summon E.B. Zinc Tortoise!" A bluish-white tortoise with the periodic symbol Zn on the top center of its shell appeared next to E.B. Iron Hammerhead. As soon it appeared, it went inside of its shell in defense position, which it has 2200 DEF. "I set one card and end my turn." Muiko finished.
While they were dueling, Ace came into the arena and sit next to Mike.
"Hey, Ace!" Mike noticed.
"Hello again. I...don't think I got your name from the last time we met." Ace said.
"Oh, right! My name is Mike Yamazaki." Mike introduced.
"Nice to meet you again, Mike. It seems that Muiko is having a duel. How is it so far?" He asked.
"Well. It is going good, but as of now, my friend, Hannah is being the offense while Muiko is staying on the defense." Mike explained."Although, this whole duel is just about her getting revenge on Muiko." Mike sweat dropped behind his head.
"I see. Interesting..." Ace pondered loudly.
"My turn. I draw!" Hannah added a card to her hand. "Battle Phase! Pixie Knight Commandore, attack her Iron Hammerhead! Pixie Slash!" Hannah commanded her monster.
"Not so fast! At this moment, I activate my E.B. Zinc Tortoise's special ability!" Muiko announced.
"What?!" Hannah surprised.
"You see, during the Battle Step, I can switch the target's attack to Zinc Tortoise instead!" E.B. Zinc Tortoise quickly moved in front of Iron Hammerhead as Pixie Knight Commandore strike at it instead. "Also, I then activate the quick-play spell card, Cunning Instinct!" A familiar spell card flipped up.
"Oh, no you won't! I activate my quick-play spell card, Pixie Mania!" It depicted a long yellow haired pixie slamming at other scared monsters in frenzy. "This spell card negates the activation of other spell card! Then, I get to add one Level 4 or lower level Pixie monster from my Deck." Hannah explained. "So, I destroy your spell card and then I add my Level 2 Pixie Mink." . Just as originally go, Pixie Knight Commandore attacked E.B. Zinc Tortoise, broke its shell, and sliced it in half. "Next, I normal summon my Pixie Mink that I drew from my Deck!" She declared.
Another Pixie monster appeared on her side of the field. This one was also Level 2 LIGHT fairy-type monster with 200 ATK and 0 DEF. "Then, I overlay my three Level two Pixie to construct an overlay network!" Hannah said as three of her Pixie monsters transformed into blue, red, and yellow energy respectfully. The three energies go into the spiral galaxy as a new monster came out of it. "Ruler of the Pixie! Protect your land and your people with your heart and power! Show your merciless might! Xyz Summon! Rank 2, Pixie Queen Motha!" It was an angelic woman with long red, blue, yellow strands of hair respectfully. Her ATK was 2000 and DEF, 1000. Three yellow orbited the monster.
"My! Your friend knows how to Xyz Summon. She is kind impressive." Ace commented.
"This is it! Her ace monster showed up!" Mike gasped, feeling scared.
"I activate Pixie Queen Motha's special ability! Offering one overlay unit, I destroy one monster on my side of the field. Then, it inflicts damage equal to half of its ATK! Motha, attack with your Pixie Stream!" One of the commits shattered as Pixie Knight Commandore get absorbed into Queen Motha's body. She released a color tornado at Muiko as she get blown away by it.
"Gaaaahhh!" She screamed, losing 1350 Life Points. She now had 1750 left.
"I end my turn here." Hannah finished.
E.B. Iron Hammerhead helped Muiko to get up. "Thanks." She said.
"Oh no! Hannah has more Life Points than Muiko." Mike warned.
"Right. If she does not do something on this turn, your friend can attack and destroy your E.B. Iron Hammerhead with either of her monsters, and then...it is over." Ace predicted.
"Once your turn here ends, I will be the better girl for Ace, alright!" Hannah said loudly.
"What's she talking about?" Ace asked.
"It's, uhh, long story." Mike sighed.
"My turn. I draw!" Muiko drew her card flashily. Looking at the card she drawn, she grinned a little. "I activate the Spell card, Monster Reborn!" Muiko showed the classic spell card. "I resurrect back E.B. Zinc Tortoise in attack mode!" The familiar tortoise returned to her side of the field with a little grin on its wrinkly face. "Then, I tribute my two monster! Advance Summon! E.B. Oxygen Elephant in attack mode!" Muiko said loudly as her monster stomped into the field. "Battle Phase! I declare my E.B. Oxygen Elephant to attack your Pixie Queen Motha!" She declared.
Everyone gasped. "What you think you're doing?! If you do that, both of our monsters will be destroyed!" Hannah warned. "Not if I activate my face-down card. I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Power of Lesser Equality!" The spell card showed the comparison symbol, less than or equal to symbol.
"What is that?!" Hannah asked.
"This is a spell card that can be activated only during the Battle Step. When my monster targets one monster on your side of the field and if its ATK is equal to or less than the target monster's ATK, my monster gains 1000 ATK in boost!" Muiko explained as she began running to search for Action card. Oxygen Elephant's ATK increased as it rammed toward Pixie Queen Motha and exploded it. Hannah loses 1000 LP, now down with 2500.
"Even so, I still have more than enough LP left!" Hannah reminded. Muiko grabbed an Action card that she found hidden in the hole of a tree.
"I then activate, the Action Spell card, Pixie Luck!" The card showed a pixie raising up a four-leaf clover in the air. "This spell card allows me to draw a card. If it is a monster card, then my monster gains the double the amount of ATK equal to the monster card's ATK and get a chance to attack even though if it already attacked!"
Her heart beeped quickly as she put her finger on the deck. She drew it from the top while closing her eyes. She looked at it, and noticed it was her E.B. Sulfur Leopard. "The card I draw..is indeed a monster card!" Muiko revealed.
"No way!" Hannah gasped.
"E.B. Sulfur Leopard's ATK is 1600, so my E.B. Oxygen Elephant gain a total of 3200 boosts in ATK!"
A yellow aura surrounded Oxygen Elephant as it hoofed loudly and ATK increases to 6200. "Now, my Oxygen Elephant get to attack again! Go, Oxygen Elephant! Attack her directly!" Muiko commanded.
"Then, that means...I lose this duuueeeeel!" Hannah screamed. E.B. Oxygen Elephant blew wind out of its nose. The impact of the wind blasted in front of Hannah as she loses all of her LP. Muiko won, according to the victory screen as the surrounding area faded away.
Muiko walked up to Hannah, who was laying down. "Are you ok?" Muiko asked, giving her a hand. As much as she distasted, she lend her hand and got up. She was down on herself, almost like she was about to cry.
"Hey, Hannah! Are you alright?" Mike asked worryingly. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied in sad mood.
"That was a great duel, you two." Ace said, smiling.
"Huh?" Hannah confused.
"You both showed a very splendid duel. I say it is the best duel I ever seen in my life so far." Ace commented before he left.
"Like what Ace said, you two were great! I really learned a lot from it." Mike commented, too.
"Oh my god...I was praised by Ace. Keeeyaaahhh!" She screamed joyfully.
"Hannah! Please don't do that when I am here?" Mike complained as he covered his ears.
Meanwhile, a mysterious figure watched them and the whole duel from the shadow. He wore thick glasses, was holding a laptop with a camera, and made a grin until he disappeared into the deep shadow.
