Hello, folks and fans! I completed another chapter, and I want to post it as soon as I completed it. I hope I edited it well with proper grammar, but please enjoy this latest chapter. If you haven't check yet, go back to the previous chapter to see the New Cards Cheat Sheet that I finally added.
UPDATE(7/15/15): I got one review that states that I can't use a Field Spell in Action Duel since there is already a field spell. Well, I want to say that this is kind of bending the rule, but for this case, two Field Spells are allowed, but let's say you have your own Field Spell while there is Action Field Spell. Your opponent activates his Field Spell, but that Field Spell does not replace the Action Field Spell. It will replace your Field Spell instead. I know that is rule bending, but I think it sounds fair enough.
UPDATE(7/16/15): New Cards Cheat Sheet added after the chapter. Check below.
Chapter 28-Dream Counter-
Drake Lamb took Muiko and Cody Hackin to an abandoned site. There were big pipes stacked on one side of the fence, and bulldozer parked on other side.
"This land site should be good. It is big, so we have plenty of space." Drake said.
"Yes! This empty land is a good spot for Duel." Cody nodded.
"Do you like it, Muiko?" Drake asked to Muiko.
"I think it is a good place." Muiko replied.
"Glad you like it." Drake smiled, activating his Duel Disk. It was a white Duel Disk with a face of the sheep for the head and the blade was shape of the sheep's fluffy fur or wool.
Muiko gave a small glare at his Duel Disk. She felt something familiar about it, reminding her the Duel Disk that the Muikai Lord Toro used. She shrugged off the thought and activated her Duel Disk.
"Duel Mode Standby. Action Field Selection on!" Both Duel Disks stated as the roulette spun until it landed on the Action Field Spell. "Action Field selected! Field Spell, Skyland, activate!"
The empty land site transformed into the Action Field. The ground was now a mass of clouds together. There were some patches of lands with grasses floating in the air. The most significant part was the yellow temple in the middle. There were also statues of goddess of some kind. This field resembled greatly to Skyworld from Kid Icarus Uprising.
"We're...in the sky." Muiko recognized, feeling little surprised.
"Indeed we are, but do not worry." Drake said. "It is not that we're in the sky, really."
He raise his hand up in the air. "Duelists locked in battles!"
"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Cody followed up.
"They storm through the air!" Drake exclaimed
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" They both said at the same time.
"Action..."
"DUEL!" Two duelists shouted as the cards above them burst and scattered.
"Usually, I let the ladies go first, but the rule states that the one who proposed the challenge must go first." Drake stated. "So, I will make the first turn."
He scanned through his five cards in his hand. "I place the Field Spell, Dream Bed, face-up on the field!"
Suddenly, a giant bed appeared behind him, raising out of the clouds. The mattress part was white while the blanket for the bedding was purple color with star pattern in yellow, red, blue, and green colors.
"Next, I Normal Summon Dream Sheep Red." He added. A red sheep, who looked half a sleep with half closed eyes, appeared on his side. It had red fur, and it was Level 1 monster with 0 ATK.
"Level 1 monster with zero ATK point. He must be planning to do something with it." Muiko thought.
"Interesting." Cody mumbled, watching from the sideline.
"I then activate my Field Spell's effect. Whenever a Dream Sheep monster is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, it gains one Dream Counter." Drake explained as the bed blew out a sleep bubble. It hovered above it.
"Counter?" Muiko pondered. "He must be going to use it to activate card effect."
"I then Special Summon Dream Sheep Blue in DEF mode." He added, with another monster looking similar to his first monster except this one had blue fur.
"With that my Field Spell gains another Dream Counter." The bed puffed out another sleep bubble. "Finally, I set two cards. Turn end."
After he ended his turn, he began moving, jumping from cloud to cloud. Muiko did the same as she put her two fingers on the top of her Deck.
"My turn, I draw." Muiko drew her card until noticing an Action Card on the cloud she landed on. She picked it up, and decided to use it. "I activate the Action Spell, Storm Alert!"
The Spell depicted a black cloud shooting down lightning at people below it. "You lose 500 Life Points."
A black cloud appeared above him, thundering and shooting lightning at Drake. He got zapped, losing his Life Points, but he didn't look bother at all, even from getting the shock.
"That was quite shocky. No pun attended." Drake chuckled.
"Next, I Normal Summon Mystical Grove Thorny Claws!" A bipedal plant with green needlie-like legs, large thorn on each knee, and long clawed hands on its elbows and hands, summoned on her side of the field. Its head looked like a large thorn, two thorn-like ears, light green eyes, zigzag mouth, and a yellow leaf like loincloth. It was a Level 4 monster with 1600 ATK points.
"Hmmmm." Drake hummed with his left eyebrow risen.
"Battle Phase! I declare Thorny Claws to attack your Dream Sheep Red!" She declared. "At this point, I activate its effect! During the Battle Phase, it gains 500 ATK points until the End Phase of the current turn."
The thorns on its body spiked up, boosting its ATK to 2100 points. Before it made contact, Drake snatched an Action card that was floated in a small cloud, a size of cotton candy.
"I activate the Action Spell, Cloud Nest!" This one had a picture of mother bird making a nest made of clouds. "With this, I gain half of the Battle Damage from the attack."
Thorny Claws' attack finally made contact, piercing through Dream Sheep Red's thick fur before it exploded. He lost 1050 Life Points.
"Not bad, Muiko." Drake felt impressed. "In your 1st turn, you already taken down half of my Life Points."
"Thanks." She replied. Although, she began feeling suspicious about Drake's nature, besides his Dueling style, but continued on with her turn.
"However." He closed his eyes. "It may not have been good idea to destroy my monster."
Muiko raise her eyebrows. "Let me guess. It has an effect."
"That's correct, and I'll show it you right now." Drake answered back. "When Dream Sheep Red is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, if I control a Dream field spell, it gains one Dream Counter."
A third new sleep bubbles appeared above the bed. "Then, Dream Sheep Blue's effect is activated." He added. "When a Dream Sheep monster is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon that monster back to the Field with its ATK reduced to zero."
His second monster yawned out a big bubble. It popped Dream Sheep Red magically. "Since Dream Sheep monster is Special Summoned, I gain another Dream Counter for my Field Spell." A fourth sleep bubble appeared over the bed.
"4 Dream Counters? What is he going to do with it?" Muiko asked to herself. "I set two cards. Turn end."
"My turn, I draw." He drew his card. "I shall use my Field Spell's true effect."
"True effect?" Cody questioned.
"By offering three Dream Counters from this card, I target one monster on your side of the field. Then, that monster cannot use its effect until my next End Phase." Drake explained.
Three of the four Dream Counters merged into one letter Z. It fly over her monster, hitting it, and instantly, it feel asleep.
"I see. So, that is why you were saving up those Dream Counters." Muiko understood.
"When you snooze, you lose, according to what I heard." Drake stated.
Muiko gave an unwanted glare at him. "I didn't say that to offend you, Muiko. Sorry if I did and also for my unnecessary, ridiculous puns." He apologized. "Anyway, let's move on. I normal summon Dream Sheep Yellow in ATK mode."
Third sheep with yellow fur appeared next to the other two. "I activate its effect. When it is Normal Summoned while I control a Dream Field Spell, that spell gains two Dream Counters instead of one."
Two new sleep bubbles appeared over the bed, adding up to the total of three.
"I bet most likely you were thinking about my three Level 1 monsters on my side of the field, but I shall do it with my mind already decided." Drake stated. "I use my three Level 1 Dream Sheep Red, Blue, and Yellow to construct the overlay network!"
His three monsters transformed into red, blue, and yellow energies respectfully. They swallowed into the spiral galaxy portal as energy burst out.
"Sheep that protects the gate of the realm of sleep! Show all trespassers that they can never set foot in the sacred land and disturb the peaceful sleeps! Whoever dare will experience endless nightmares! Xyz Summon! Rank 1! Nightmare Sheep Devil Horns!"
Black furred sheep with red curly, sharp horns jumped out of the portal. Its eyes were angry looking in purple color. Its size was twice as big as the Dream Sheep's size.
"Since this monster is from a Different archetype, my Field Spell don't gain Dream Counter for it" Drake admitted.
"That's a relief." Cody said.
"But, I can do this! I activate Nightmare Sheep Devil Horns' effect!" He exclaimed.
Muiko felt disturbance from her heart. "Something does not feel right. I sense...strange energy from this guy. Could this man be...?"
"By using any number of overlay unit it has, I destroy the number of face down cards on your side of the field equals to the number of the overlay unit I use. I use two, so I can destroy your two set cards!"
His monster charged in, smashing Muiko's two set cards. "And, when my monster destroyed the set cards, my Dream Field Spell gains Dream Counter equals to the number of set cards my monster destroyed! Since it destroyed two, it gains two Dream Counters."
His Field Spell gained a total of five counters, representing in the form of sleep bubble.
"Finally, I declare my monster to attack! Battle Phase! Nightmare Charge!" Drake exclaimed.
His monster rammed against Thorny Claws, pushing it away before it exploded. Muiko took 400 points of battle damage.
"However, my turn doesn't end with just that attack. Trap open! Nightmare Pain!"
A card flipped up, revealing Nightmare Sheep Devil Horns in dark aura, ramming against scared Ojama monsters. "When you took battle damage caused by my Nightmare Sheep monster, you take double that damage as effect damage!"
Muiko began running away as his monster charged in again. However, it outpaced her and pushed her so hard on her back that made her flew out in the air.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!" She screamed until she landed. Even though she landed on a cloud, the mark on her back still felt painful.
"With that, I end my turn." Drake ended, with his monster running back over to him.
"This is not good, not good at all! Muiko's percentage of winning is down to 65%, the lowest she ever got!" Cody exclaimed.
Muiko got up slowly while one eyes closed. She stoop up, opening her eye, and put her two fingers on the top of her Deck. She breathed in and out, almost panting although. "My turn, I draw!" She drew her card strongly.
