UPDATE(7/25/15): Edited the chapter. One review stated that I made a monster to attack even though its effect forbade it to attack. Corrected that mistake.
Chapter 33-Return of the Superheavy Samurai! Muiko V.S. Go-
Muiko and Cody Hackin walked along the street, finding anyone to Duel with. "I wonder how many Duelists are left in this tournament?" Muiko wondered out loud.
"I will check that right now for you, Muiko!" Cody said excitedly as he took out his laptop. He pressed so fast like a machine. "According to the tournament data, there are 3 people who found the golden crystal pieces, meaning they got invincibility, which allows them to move on to the Top 50 without getting six crystal pieces normally. There are about a total of 250 Duelists left, so we have plenty of them to find, including the amount of time we have."
"Can that laptop helps us to find my challengers?" She joked.
Suddenly, something interesting caught her attention. She noticed a crowd of people watching a Duel. Muiko walked over to see who was Dueling. She noticed a familiar face.
"Go! Superheavy Samurai Blooming Sakura! Direct Attack!" Go said out loud as her monster strike down her male opponent.
"Gggaaaaaahhh!" He screamed, losing all of his Life Points.
The monsters and the Action Field faded away.
"Here! This is yours. I'm out of here!" The male Duelist cried, throwing the crystal piece at her. She picked it up as she watched the crowding male Duelists run away.
"Wow, that was pathetic of him." One bystander said.
"I know right." Another one said.
The crowds of people went away to their business, leaving Go alone. Muiko and Cody Hackin were the only people left. Go turned around, and noticed them. "Hey, you're..." She muttered, remembering Muiko's face. "Ah! You are that girl! One with the boy named Mike!"
"Muiko, do you know this girl?" Cody asked to Muiko.
"She is met by Mike while we had vacation in Japan and he was forced to Duel her, but fortunately won in the Duel since it was all just misunderstanding." Muiko answered to him, making Go to get the X mark on her face, signifying anger.
"Hey!" She yelled. "I may have lose to him, but you don't have to say that it was my fault to misunderstood!"
"It is true although." Muiko admitted. Her words made Go become more angry.
"Grgh! That is it! I will challenge you to a Duel, right here and right now!" She pointed her finger to Muiko.
"Wo! This person is very furious and get mad very easily!" Cody thought, hiding behind Muiko.
"...Sure. Let's Duel." Muiko accepted her challenge, even though it was very sudden.
They stood apart from each other as Cody watched them from the sidelines. "The first Duel for the second day! I must record this!" Cody said excitedly, having his laptop and camera ready.
"Duel Mode Standby! Action Field Selection on!" Both Duel Disks stated. "Action Field Selected! Field Spell: Lost Tower of Words!" The surrounding area transformed into the Action Field. The ground materialized into a dry stone floor. There were words in each different language of the world in-graved in the windows. They looked around and noticed that they were inside of a tower. This Action Field is based off on Tower of Babel.
"This Field Spell is perfect for our Duel." Go stated. "Let's begin! Duelists locked in battle!"
"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Cody followed.
"They storm through the air!" Go added.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!"
"Action...DUEL!"
The Action Cards above them burst and scattered.
"I'll go first as the rule states that the one who propose the challenge must go first!" Go said. "I Normal Summon my Level 4 Superheavy Samurai Guard Woman in Defense mode!"
This monster had two green eyes like any other Superheavy Samurai monsters. It wore blue armor, and wielded a red wooden pole. It also had breast plate to show that it is a female. "When I control no Spell and Trap cards in my Graveyard, I can Normal Summon this card from my hand to the field in face-up Defense position." Go explained. "I end my turn. Now, show me what you got!"
"My turn, I draw!" Muiko drew her card. She looked at the six cards she had, which most of them were monsters and one Trap card.
"With a monster that has 2300 DEF and no monsters strong enough to destroy it, I can't attack now, but I can do this." Muiko thought. "I Normal Summon E.B. Copper Bull!"
A copper-colored bull roared to her sides as it snot out its breath through its nostrils. "Next, I Special Summon E.B. Iron Hammerhead from my hand!"
Another classic monster appeared on her side. "Iron Hammerhead can be Special Summoned when I Normal Summoned a monster. Then, it deals damage equals to its ATK!" Muiko elaborated. "Iron Headbash!"
Iron Hammerhead swam at high speed like a bullet, and then slammed Go as she fold her arms. She hold still on her feet as she slidacross the floor. Her Life Points were now 3200.
"I set a card. Turn end." Muiko finished, and then ran off to find Action cards.
"Attacking me through a monster's effect is a good move, but that won't bring me down!" Go exclaimed. "My turn, I draw!"
She looked at the card she drew and showed off a sterm, yet cheerful face. "I Special Summon Level 2 Superheavy Samurai Thunder Armor!"
This monster was literally an armor, floating in midair. It was yellow with the Chinese characters for thunder on the chest plate. It had 800 ATK points.
"When my opponent controls more monsters than the number of monsters I have on my field, I can Special Summon this card from my hand, and when I control no Spell and Trap cards in my Graveyard, its Level is increased to 1!"
The armor monster sparked up itself. "Now, I tune my Level 3 Superheavy Samurai Thunder Armor with my Level 4 Superheavy Samurai Guard Woman!"
Thunder Armor made some thunders and lightning until it turned into three green rings. Guard Woman jumped into those rings, transforming into 4 sphere of light as beam of energy pierced through the rings.
"Female samurai warrior! Show your pride, honor, and will that are stronger than any men! Cut your target with your blade as you storm through the battlefield! Synchro Summon! Arise! Level 7! Superheavy Samurai Blooming Sakura!"
Go's ace appeared in its flashy pink and white armor as petals of cherry blossom fell smoothly over her and her monster.
"Superheavy Samurai can use its DEF as its ATK! Battle Phase! I attack your Copper Bull with my ace! Sakura Storm!" Go declared as her monster did just what she said.
Muiko and Iron Hammerhead dodged away, but unfortunately, Copper Bull stuck into the attack. It exploded, causing Muiko to gain 900 damage.
"Trap open! Roar of the Wild!" A card flipped up. "When an Elemental Beast monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Elemental Beast monster from my Deck to my field, and then my Deck is shuffled! I Special Summon my E.B. Sulfur Leopard!"
A white portal appeared as the familiar leopard leap out. "With that, I end my turn!" Go ended, with her monster going back into the defensive sitting mode.
Muiko noticed an Action card. She snatched it and looked at it. "My turn. I activate the Action Spell, Nice Draw!" Muiko proclaimed.
The Spell depicted a Duelist drawing not one, but two cards. "With this, I get to draw two cards during my Draw Phase for this turn!" Muiko explained.
She drew two cards from the top of her Deck. "I normal summon Recycle Bot to the field!" The familiar recycle truck drove into the field before transforming into its robot mode. "I set two cards and end my turn."
Suddenly, a staircase opened down from the ceiling. Muiko ran up to it as her monsters followed just behind her. Go and her ace chased after them. They all went up to the next floor, just one floor below the top floor. Muiko stopped running and turned forward to face Go.
"My turn, I draw!" Go said strongly. She looked at her five cards in her hand. Her eyes widen at her cards, realizing something. Muiko noticed the look on her face.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Hm." Go looked at her. "Nothing."
However, Muiko had a feeling Go saw something; something that can turn against her. She decided to press on her about it. "You know. If you want to do it, just do it."
"Wh...what are you talking about? I said it was nothing!" Go argued at her.
"I don't know why you are getting offended or being stuck up like that, but to be honest, I am interested to see what you have seen when you looked at your cards in your hand. I bet you figured out something that can finish me and win, right?" Muiko explained.
"What could Muiko be talking about?" Cody wondered.
"Mmmmm...I wouldn't lie, but yes, I have figure out something that can beat you in this turn, but..." Go think for a moment. "Over the past two weeks, I trained hard, day and night to figure out on how I can surpass myself. I realized then that the way I Dueled, my Steadfast Dueling, must evolve to reach a new height."
"I see. I bet you found your way to do that." Muiko guessed.
"That's right, but... She looked hesitant to not saying it, but shrugged off her thoughts. "I want to show it to a certain person when I...Dueled that person."
Go's face blushed in pink, although trying to hide it. Muiko stared at her suspiciously, but nodded. "I see. That's OK. You don't have to show me what you have discovered. I'm fine with that."
"Really?" Go said with a cheerful face. "Ah! I mean, thank you very much."
She bowed down to Muiko. "Let's continue our Duel! I Normal Summon Superheavy Samurai War Sword!"
A big black sword with silver blade appeared as her ace grabbed it. "I activate its effect! When I control other Superheavy Samurai on my field and control no Spell and Trap cards in my Graveyard, I can equip this card to that monster. When it do, it gains 800 DEF points!"
Pink aura emanated her ace as it cried out in its battle roar, powering up its DEF to 3500. "Battle Phase! I attack your Recycle Bot with Blooming Sakura! Sakura Storm!" Go declared.
Her monster slashed out a powerful wind when it swung its sword at Recycle Bot. "Trap open! Sun Shield!"
One of the set cards flipped up, revealing it to be a Trap card with an image of a knight holding a sun-shaped shield as lights shone from it. "When my opponent monster declares to attack, I can change the target to other monster on my field! I change the target to my E.B. Iron Hammerhead!"
The sun shield appeared above Iron Hammerhead, shining its light to it like a spotlight. Blooming Sakura redirected its attack to Iron Hammerhead. It cried before it exploded.
"Superheavy Samurai War Sword's additional effect activates!" Go exclaimed. "It allows the equipped Superheavy Samurai monster to attack again by paying 500 Life Points! I pay my 500 Life Points to allow my Blooming Sakura to attack again!"
Red aura emanated from Go until her Life Points decreased by 500. Blooming Sakura attacked again. "I attack on your Recycle Bot for second time!" She said out loud, with her monster unleashing a second wind storm at the defenseless Recycle Bot.
Muiko grabbed an Action card and placed it on her Duel Disk quickly. "Action Spell: Miracle activates! With this, my monster cannot be destroyed by battle!" She stated as rainbow aura shine out from Recycle Bot's metallic body.
"But, you still take battle damage!" Go pointed out.
Recycle Bot folded its arm as it takes the attack. Muiko did the same as the impact caused her to lose 1800 LPs.
"Unfortunately, I can only use War Sword's effect once per turn. I end my turn." Go finished.
Suddenly, another staircase opened down from the ceiling again. They ran up, reaching to the top floor. They came out of the tower as they saw clear blue sky. Winds blew through their hair, nonetheless it felt very good.
"It seems that this is the final moment. I can feel it." Go said, grinning. "You are a strong Duelist, Muiko."
"Thank you. You are not bad, either." Muiko replied. "Now, let's finish this Duel. My turn and at this point, I activate Recycle Bot's effect! Once per turn, I can activate one Spell card from either player's Graveyard, but in exchange, this card cannot attack this turn!"
"Spell activation from the Graveyard!?" Go gasped.
"This is unexpected!" Cody surprised.
"I activate the Action Spell, Nice Draw from my Graveyard! During this Draw Phase, I get to draw two cards instead of one!" Muiko stated as she drew two cards from the top of her Deck.
She looked at the cards, and grinned at them. "It is time! I, using Scale 3 Mystical Grove Ginger Root and Scale 9 Elemental Beast Arsenic Scorpion, set the Pendulum Scale!" She placed the said monsters in the Pendulum Zones and the word Pendulum appeared on her Duel Disk blade. The two monsters rose up through the pillars of light, with the numbers 3 and 9 appeared below them respectfully.
"With my Pendulum Scale set, I am able to summon Level 4 to Level 8 monsters simultaneously!" Muiko proclaimed. "However, I won't Pendulum Summon any monsters!"
Muiko's declarations surprised everyone. "What are you saying!?" Go questioned.
"Instead, I will use my pendulum cards' pendulum effects!" Muiko announced. "I activate Mystical Grove Ginger Root's pendulum effect!"
This one was literally a ginger root with two beady, dark brown eyes. It burst into a green aura as it roared loudly even though it has no mouth. Suddenly, plant roots grown out of the stone flooring as they tangled Go's ace tightly.
"What is this!?" She gasped.
"Those roots are Ginger Root's roots!" Muiko said. "Once per turn, all your face-up monsters' ATK or DEF is reduced to zero, depending on their current position until my End Phase."
The roots absorbed Go's monster energy as it weakened. "This can't be..." Go said, barely speechless.
"Battle Phase! Sulfur Leopard! Attack!" Muiko yelled. Sulfur Leopard leaped with its claw opened. It slashed Blooming Sakura in half.
"Grgh!" Go gritted as she took 1600 points of damage.
"However, it is not over! I activate my E.B. Arsenic Scorpion's pendulum effect!" Muiko said out loud. "When this card is in my Pendulum Zone, all face-up monsters I control can perform pierce damage!"
"Say what!?" Go yelled.
"Sulfur Leopard, attack!" She declared. Her robot shot another energy beam, hitting Go and causing her to crash to the floor.
"Grrgh! Kyyaaahhh!" She screamed as her Life Points go down to zero. Muiko won the Duel as her monsters roared and jumped victoriously before they faded away.
Muiko walked over to Go, and offered her hand. "Need a hand?" She asked.
"Thank you." Go accepted her hand.
"Astounding! Remarkable! AMAZING!" Cody cheered. "That was a good Duel, no a great Duel! You both are awesome!"
"Muiko...you are strong Duelist, and I accept you as my second rival." Go said to her.
"Sure, whatever." Muiko replied. "But, who is your first rival, anyway?" Her eye liddened as Go blushed again.
"It...it is is nothing, ok! Anyway, here is your crystal piece." Go stated as she gave Muiko her piece. With it, Muiko obtained her 3rd piece, adding it with other pieces and total became 4.
"Thanks." She thanked to Go.
"Your welcome. May our path crosses again." She said before she walked away as Muiko and Cody saw her go away.
