Chapter 39
Early Bird Duel
Hannah and Cody Hackin arrived at the Metrosand Central Hospital. It was about an hour later after Mike found Muiko.
The nurse told them that Muiko was in the room 3-C, the third floor. There were two Enforcer officers standing on guard outside of the door, but they allowed them to enter through. Once they were inside, they met with the tired, yet worried Mike and Mr. Griffon.
"Mike!" Hannah exclaimed. Mike looked up to his friends.
"Hannah. Cody."
"Is Miss Muiko alright?" Cody asked.
Mike looked at the sleeping girl in her bed, not saying anything.
"She's fine. The doctor said that her condition is good, so she will be waking up tomorrow." Mr. Griffon explained, relieving Hannah and Cody.
"I'm very glad to hear that!" Hannah cheered.
"So am I!" Cody nodded. "But, I was wondering. Why are there two Enforcer officers guarding outside the door?"
"I think that is something best to talk somewhere privately than here." Mr. Griffon said as he got off from his seat. "Let's leave the room, so that I can explain."
He led Hannah and Cody out of the room. He noticed Mike was still staring down on her as he watched over him "Mike, are you coming?"
He snapped out of his thought, got up from his seat, and followed after Mr. Griffon.
He took the three to the rooftop of the hospital and began explaining what happened to Muiko. After a little over an hour of talk minus the part where Mike met the myserious Duel Wheeler because he decided not to tell that, they discussed about it.
"That's horrible! Why this guy would do horrible thing to Muiko!?" Hannah pouted in anger.
"I'm not quite sure, but the Enforcer is investigating on this matter very carefully. What I am most worry about is the possibility that he is not alone in this incident." Mr. Griffon added.
"That is highly probable! Other duelists will be in danger if these criminal can't be stopped!" Cody warned.
"Indeed. However, the authority will handle this matter and we should just rest for tonight. The tournament must go on." Mr. Griffon said.
Everyone went home by the limousine owned by Mr. Griffon. They were pretty quiet while driving back home. Mike was the one with deepest thoughts into everything that happened. All he was thinking is Muiko's well-being and also that mysterious Duel Wheeler who helped him.
"Is that guy a friend or enemy?" He thought.
-Not Mike's POV-
"Director Akaba, may I come in?" Jeff asked behind the door.
"You may come in." She replied as she watched through the window.
Her secretary opened the door, coming into the room as he was holding his electronic pad device.
"I came with the latest report, maim. According to it, the card that was discovered yesterday at the incident scene was confirmed to be Skyhawk Storm Eagle and it is belonged to the top duelist named Ace Wings, Age 17, Height 5.85 feet, hair color light green, high school student. He is a participating duelist in the current Scorch Cup, and has quite accomplishments on his background. He's rank #1 in the Metro-Sand Academy's Dueling course, including Xyz Course, which is his main specialty, and he's one of the top 10 Duelists in the city."
Director Akaba turned to her shoulder. "I see. Has his home been contacted?"
Jeff nodded. "Yes, we have, but his parents said that he hasn't come back home since yesterday. They already filed a missing person report to the local police."
She turned around fully and sat on her chair as she putted her chin on her fingers with her elbow on the desk.
"This is becoming awfully strange. It seems that we need to investigate this matter up more closely." She said with seriousness in her eyes.
"Excuse me, maim, but what do you mean by that?" He asked.
"It means that..." She got up from her seat. "I'm entering the tournament as a participant."
-Mike's POV-
One day later, Mike woke up early to go to the hospital. He arrived there by bus in less than 20 minutes. When he arrived at her room, she was still sleeping peacefully like a baby.
"Muiko." He said softly before he sat next to her.
He stayed in the room with her sleeping peacefully for an hour or so before he went to the rooftop to get some fresh air.
He looked up the sky, then watched over the buildings of the city as his eye can see.
"Muiko has all seven crystal pieces. I need two more. There are only five days left, and who knows how many participants left in this Cup. I got to work harder not for myself, but for the people I care, including her!"
"You're early today. You must really care for her dearly, don't you?" A female voice said from behind him.
He abruptly turned around and surprised to see who it was. "Miss Director Akaba!? Um, why are you, I mean, what is your reason to be here?"
"Same reason as you." She answered back.
"Oh, I see. Say, did you found out anything about that guy who attacked Muiko?" He asked curiously.
She just shook her head. "I am sorry, but that is…classified."
Mike looked down, disappointed. "Oh, I see. I understand."
"Mike Tenzo, I heard that you're a participant in this tournament. Is that correct?"
"Um, yes, I am, maim!" He replied.
"As the rule states, participant who meets other participant must Duel and the winner will receive the loser's crystal piece. The ones who have seven pieces may advance to the top 50." She explained as she activated her Duel Disk. "So, how about let's Duel?"
"Wait, what!?" Mike gasped.
"What are you waiting for? I'm asking you to Duel me. That is the rule of the tournament, just like I briefly said a moment ago." She said, narrowing her eyes.
"Um, yes, maim!" He nodded, quickly activating his Duel Disk.
"Duel Mode Standby! Field Spell Selection On!" Both Duel Disks said. "Field Spell Selected! Action Field: Galaxia River activates!"
The entire rooftop transformed into a dark wide space with many small galaxies glittering and floating around in space. In between them, there was a river of neon color made of stars flowed down stream.
"Duelists locked in battles!" Director Akaba started.
"Um, right! Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Mike followed.
"They storm through the air! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!"
"Action…DUEL!" The floating action cards above them burst like bubble and scattered into the field.
Mike vs. Director Akaba: 4000 LPs.
"As another rule stated, the Duelist who proposed the Duel will make the first turn." Director Akaba said.
"Wait, Miss Director Akaba!" Mike shouted.
"Yes, what is it?"
"When and why did you join the tournament, if I may ask?" Mike questioned.
"That is also classified." She said coldly. "I Normal Summon D.D. Fire Majin."
A red genie with ghostly tail, and mustache and ponytail made of fire crossed its arms to show off its 1500 ATK.
DD Fire Majin-Level 4, FIRE, Fiend/Effect, 1500 ATK, 300 DEF.
"D.D. Fire Majin's monster effect activates! When he is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower level D.D. monster from my Deck or hand with its ATK reduced to zero. I Special Summon the Level 4 D.D. Cerberus from my Deck."
The three-headed hound monster roared when it summoned to her side.
"Then, I can then use it to Fusion Summon with Fire Majin without using the Spell card, Polymerization!" She explained.
"Using monster's effect for Fusion Summon!?" Mike surprised.
Two of her monsters flied toward as they became a swirl of red and purple colors. "Dark hound that guards the gate of hell, combined your vicious fang with the majin of fire! Bring forth the King, who rules the Fusion Dimension! Fusion Summon! Rise! D.D.D. Flame Lord Temujin!"
Her Fusion monster appeared in burning, orange aura.
"When a Fusion monster is summoned through D.D. Fire Majin's effect, it is placed in face-up Defense position. I set three cards and end my turn." She finished her turn as she set three cards in front of her.
"DD and DDD monsters, huh? This is my first time I've ever seen a rare archtype like her Deck." Mike thought. "I better be careful. If I remember my history in Dueling, her archtype can allow her to perform all the Special Summoning types; Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum. I got to stay cool and be prepared for whatever she will do!"
"My turn, I draw!" He drew his card and thought out his move. He noticed an opportunity.
"I, using Scale 3 Victory Fighter Chibi Samurai and Scale 9 Victory Fighter Roman Rider, set the Pendulum Scale!" Two monsters rose up through the pillars of light.
The one on his right was a chibi samurai in red and yellow armor with two swords hanging on his belt. It only revealed one eye under its kabuto helmet.
Victory Fighter Chibi Samurai-Level 1, Scale 3, WIND, Warrior/Pendulum/Effect, 100 ATK, 100 DEF
Mike noticed one card flowing down the river. He ran and jumped into the river to grab the card. He got out of the river, and looked at the card.
"Good! I can use this later when I need to!" Mike thought before he putted it into his hand with the rest of his cards.
"With my Pendulum Scale set, I can summon Level 4 to Level 8 monsters simultaneously! Sway, Pendulum of my Soul! Create an arc of hope that can help me to lead victory! Come out, my monster allies! Pendulum Summon!"
Two beams of energy leaped out of the portal. "I summon Victory Fighter Viking Ogre and Victory Fighter Scuba Striker!"
The rough, big green ogre and scuba diver with a spear gun appeared side by side. "Scuba Striker's monster effect activates! When he is Special Summoned, he inflicts 400 points of damage!"
Scuba Striker shot one spear at D. Akaba. She crossed her arm before he got hit.
D. Akaba's LP: 3600
"Battle! Viking Ogre will attack your Temujin!" Mike declared as his ogre warrior swung its axe and slashed her monster in half. "And, when Viking Ogre does destroy a monster, pierce damage is inflicted!"
D. Akaba's LP: 2800
"Aright! With no other monsters on her side of the field, I can direct attack!" Mike thought.
"Trap card, open! Covenant with Reborn!" D. Akaba proclaimed.
"Crap! I forgot about her set cards!"
One of her set cards flipped up, revealing to be a contract paper with the Monster Reborn imprinted on it as one human hand ready to sign on it with a quint or feather pin.
"When DD or DDD monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon it right after it was destroyed in exchange that I pay 1000 LPs during my Standby Phase." She explained. "Revive! Flame Lord Temujin!"
Her fiery Fusion returned back to the field.
"Well…that's OK because I activate Victory Fighter Roman Rider's effect! Once per turn, I can cut one of my monster's ATK by half to allow it to direct attack this turn! I cut my Scuba Striker's ATK to direct attack."
Roman Rider used a whip to scare the horse as the horse cried with a sound wave that caused Scuba Striker's body to glow in bright blue color. Its ATK was cut by half to 650. The scuba diver shot another spear at his target. She blocked the attack, but still took damage from it.
D. Akaba's LPs: 2150
"OK! At least I took half of her Life Points away in this turn. That's good." Mike thought. "I end my turn."
"My turn, I draw!" She drew her card. Her Trap card glowed in dark magenta color as it damaged her Life Points.
D. Akaba's LPs: 1150
"I activate my second set card, the Continuous Spell: Covenant with Greed." This card had a business man offering a deal to his client in selling his Pot of Greed to the man, with other different kinds of pot in the shop in the background such as Pot of Duality, Pot of Avarice, and even strangely the artistic pot with the singing Greek ladies from the animated Disney film, Hercules.
"When this Spell is face-up on the field, I will be deal with 1000 points of damage to my Life Points during my Standby Phase, but in exchange, I get to draw 2 cards during my Main Phase. I'll draw two cards." She said, drawing out two cards from the top of her Deck.
She looked at the two cards, which one of them was a familiar big wide, jaw opened monster with razor sharp fang.
"I summon DD Night Howling!" She declared.
The jaw opened monster roared when it appeared on her side as Mike gritted his teeth, suspecting that she is up to something.
"When DD Night Howling is summoned successfully, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower level DD monster from my Graveyard with its ATK reduced to zero. I bring back DD Cerberus!"
The familiar hellhound returned to the field as it howled strongly. "Now, I tune my Level 4 DD Cerberus with my Level 3 tuner, DD Night Howling!"
Night Howling roared before it transformed into three green rings. DD Cerberus jumped into the rings as it howled before it became 4 spheres of light and beam of energy pierced through those spheres and the rings.
"With the mighty agile that no foes can keep up, come forth the King who rules over the Synchro Dimension! Synchro Summon! DDD Gale Overlord Alexander!" The fast DDD Synchro stood up as it waved its sword before it stood next to Temujin. Both monsters emanated green and fiery red auras respectfully.
"So, that's the Synchro monster!" Mike exclaimed.
"DDD Flame Overlord Temujin's effect activates! When DDD monster is Special Summoned, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower level DD monster from my Graveyard. I bring back my DD Fire Majin!"
The fiery genie returned to the field with its arms crossed to his chest. "Then, DDD Gale Overlord Alexander's effect activates! When DD monster is Special Summoned, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower DD monster from my Graveyard. I resurrect DD Cerberus back to my side of the field!"
Alexander summoned a strong tornado, which the hellhound magically appeared out of it when the tornado stopped spinning.
"Finally, I overlay my two Level 4 DD monsters to create the Overlay Network!" She declared. Majin turned red while Cereberus became purple, and they go into the galaxy portal. Energy burst out of the portal as two, glowing blue eyes appeared out of the portal until the full body slowly popped out.
"All who under him shall bow down to his mighty power! No other Xyz can overpower this mighty King who rules over the Xyz Dimension! Xyz Summon! Arise! Rank 4, DDD Gale Overlord Caesar!" Her Xyz appeared in a strong, wavy blue aura with two blue comments orbited around the monster itself.
"First Synchro! Now Xyz!? Is this it!? Is this…the power of DDD monsters!?" Mike overwhelmed.
"Battle! First, Alexander attacks your Viking Ogre! Gale Slash!" Her Synchro swung its sword, creating a tornado as it spun and hit Ogre.
"Grgh!" He disgruntled.
"Next, Temujin attacks your Scuba Striker!" Her Fusion monster slashed Scuba Striker with a fiery slash by its red sword.
"Scuba Striker, argh!" He cried.
"Lastly, but not least, Wave Overlord Caesar will direct attack you! Wave Stream!" Her Xyz slammed its sword on the "ground" to unleash a monster wave at Mike.
"Graaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" He groaned loudly as the wave blasted him away. Once the wave settled down, Mike cough out the water. He even threw up some.
Mike's LP: 1400
She stepped forward before she stopped, few yards close to him, but still away from him. "If you are in too much pain, I will quit the Duel." She suggested.
"Groah!" He threw up more water. "No, thank you. I'll be just fine!"
She gave him a stoic glare at him. "Very well, I set a card. Turn end."
He slowly putted his two fingers on the top of his Deck, ignoring that his finger was wet and so for the rest of his body and clothes.
"My turn, I draw!" He drew his card confidently. "With my Pendulum Scale set, I'll Pendulum Summon again!
Two bursts of light jumped out of the Pendulum portal.
"From my Extra Deck, Scuba Striker strikes back!" The military suit scuba diver reappeared.
"And from my hand, my ace monster, Victory Fighter Hope comes to the field!" Mike declared as his ace warrior appeared on his side.
Both monsters looked ready as they faced against the overwhelming three DDD overlords.
"Scuba Striker's effect activates! When he is special summoned, 400 points of damage is inflicted to your LPs!" Mike declared. Scuba Striker shot a spear at her, but with quick thinking and agile, she caught an Action Card floating endlessly in space.
"Action Spell, Nullification activates! The effect damage is negated!" The spear gun disappeared into particles. Mike gritted his teeth.
"Battle! I declare Victory Fighter Hope to attack Gale Overlord Alexander!" He exclaimed.
His ace jumped into the air as well as Alexander.
"Both our monsters will be destroyed since their ATK is equal to one another!" D. Akaba pointed out.
"Not for Hope! Victory Fighter Chibi Samurai's pendulum effect activates! Once per turn, when my Victory Fighter monster attacks an opponent's monster with higher than or equal to its ATK, that monster is destroyed and mine is safe from destruction!"
The little small samurai took out his katana sword, drawing a kanji for "victory" in the air and that kanji flew over Hope, making him glow in yellow aura. Hope slashed Alexander successfully, making it explode.
"Also, when my Victory Fighter monster is applied by Chibi Samurai's effect, it can attack again! Hope, use another of your Victorious Slash at Temujin!"
His ace monster slashed Temujin in half, making it explode.
D. Akaba's LP: 650
"I end my Battle Phase! At least now, two of your DDD monsters are destroyed and only Caesar is left!"
"You think he will be alone for the time being?" D. Akaba asked, causing Mike to look worried at her. "I activate Wave Overlord Caesar's effect! By detaching one overlay unit, I can Special Summon as many monsters that were destroyed during this Battle Phase in exchange that I pay 1000 LPs for each monster Special Summoned by this effect in my next turn. I bring back my two DDD overlords, Temujin and Alexander!"
A blue comet was absorbed into Caesar's sword. He jabbed it into the ground, causing two portals to open up. Out of them came the two monsters respectfully. Mike looked disbelieved and disgruntled that the monsters have returned.
"Fine! I end my turn with one card set, and with that, I win because now, Miss Director Akaba, you have to pay total of 4000 LPs!"
She made a small smirk. "Sorry Mike, but this Duel will continue on because I activate the Trap card, DDD Resource Management!" One of her set cards flipped up. "When this Trap is activated, I shuffle 3 DDD monsters back to my Deck, and then add two DD monsters from Deck."
She just did that. Her three powerful monsters disappeared, putting their card into her Extra Deck, shuffling them, and picked out two cards and added them to her hand.
"OK, but there are still damage you will gain and I will still win!" Mike reminded her, but she didn't look surprise or even worry.
"Second Trap Card activates! Lease Laundering!" Her last set card flipped up, revealing itself. "When this Trap is activated, it negates the effect of all face-up Covenant cards on my field and destroys them. Then, I gain LP equal to each Covenant card destroyed by this card effect."
After she explained it, yellow light sparkled all over her, increasing her Life Points right after her Covenant cards exploded into pieces.
D. Akaba's LP: 2650
"No way!" Mike shocked.
"Now, it is my turn. I draw." She said, drawing her card. "I, using Scale 1 DD Magical Astronomer Galilei and Scale 10 DD Magical Astronomer Kepler, set the Pendulum Scale!"
Her two monsters rose up through the pillars of light respectfully. "With that set, I can now summon Level 2 to Level 9 monsters simultaneously." Two numbers appeared below the monsters, one was 1 and another one had 10. "Astronomer of Space and Astronomer of Time, sway the pendulum of my soul! Call forth the lord who rules over the Pendulum Dimension with his mighty earth-shattering power! Pendulum Summon!"
The portal opened up, allowing a large beam of light shining upon on her field. "Behold! DDD Earth Overlord Nobunaga!"
Her ace monster came down with its flashy black and golden armor.
"W—Why do I feel so hebbi-jibbe about this monster!?" Mike asked.
"This monster is an original monster designed and made by my late great grandfather. It is my true ace monster, and also the one that defeated your friend as well." She explained.
"Wait, what!? Muiko lost to you once!? To this monster!?"
"That's right. Although, she managed to destroy it, but even with her power and Muikai monster, it wasn't enough to defeat this monster. Now, it is time to battle! Nobunaga attack your Scuba Striker!"
Her ace monster took out its sword, ready to slash the military suit scuba diver to oblivion. "Not so fast! I activate the Action Spell, Miracle!"
"Nobunaga's effect activates! During my Battle Phase only, you cannot activate Spell and Trap cards!" D. Akaba claimed.
"What!?" He gasped before Scuba Striker sliced in half. "Aaaaaaaahhhh!"
The impact of the attack caused him to be blasted away.
"Nobunaga's other effect activates. When he destroys a monster by battle, the destroyed monster's ATK is inflicted to the owner! Dominance Wave!"
Her ace glowed in black. It swung its sword strongly, creating a sharp wave of dark energy as it was hurling toward Mike.
"Tra—Trap card, open! Illuminous Shield!" A card flipped up on his side, showing a glowing white shield held by Celtic Guardian. "When this Trap is activated, any effect damage I gain is zero for this turn."
The same shield appeared in front of the collapsed Mike, saving him just in time.
"Hmmm, impressive quick defense at good timing. I set a card and end my turn." She finished.
He got up slowly, raising his head high and strong. "M—My turn, I draw!"
He looked at the card, thinking of a plan to turn the table around. "I use my current cards in my Pendulum Zone to Pendulum Summon again! Return my monster ally!"
Only one blue stream of light jumped out, revealing to the same old Scuba Striker.
"As you already know, Scuba Striker will inflict 400 points of damage!" His monster shot a spear at her.
D. Akaba's LP: 2250
"I activate Roman Rider's pendulum effect! By cutting the attack of one of my monsters on the field, it can direct attack this turn! I choose my Scuba Striker!"
Scuba Striker's ATK decreased to 650. "Battle! Scuba Striker will attack with Spear Gun!"
His monster shot a spear at her.
D. Akaba's LP: 1600
"Next, I declare Hope to attack Nobunaga!" Go! Use Victorious Slash!" His ace monster jumped in for the attack.
"Your monster is weak to compare to mine! If you continue this, your monster will be destroyed!"
"That is why I do this! I activate Victory Fighter Hope's effect! When it attacks a monster with higher ATK than his ATK, then that monster is destroyed instead and I gain Life Points equal to Nobunaga's ATK by half!"
Hope slashed a V symbol on Nobunaga's chest plate before it exploded as it cried in pain.
Mike's LP: 3150
Mike noticed another Action card flowing down the stream. He jumped in and picked it up as he swam out of the stream.
"This is it! A chance to win!" He thought out loud. "I use the Action Spell Comet Collision!"
He showed the Spell card, presenting a giant blue comet colliding on the planet as alien-like goblins screamed in horror and panicked around.
"With this card, I select a monster on my side of the field, then my opponent takes damage equal to half of that monster's ATK. I target the one and only Victory Fighter Hope! Miss Director Akaba, you take 1250 points of damage, meaning I win this Duel!"
Hope created a giant, blue energy ball almost the size of a comet. He threw it to D. Akaba as the energized comet ball slowly moved forward at her.
She gave a tint of smirk. "W—Why are you smirking, Miss Director Akaba?"
"Miike Tenzo…You are very persistent and strong Duelist. Very few people has pushed me this far in the corner. It reminds me how enjoyable a Duel can be, and I just want to say congratulations to you for that." She said before she turned her expression to more serious look. "However, that is not mean I'm defeated."
"Wh—what!?"
"Trap card, open! Damage Eater!" Suddenly, a giant mouth with sharp teeth appeared and ate the whole comet in one bite.
"No way!" He yelled.
"When this Trap is activated, the effect damage is negated for this turn, but in the exchange, I must discard the top card of my Deck to my Graveyard." She sent the top card, which was the Covenant with the Swamp King to her Graveyard zone.
"I…I end my turn." Mike said.
"My turn, I draw." She said. "Tell me, Mike. What do you think of Muiko?"
Mike looked up to her with puzzling expression. "What do you mean by that, maim?"
"Do you think she's really your friend or…a monster?"
"What!? She's not a monster! She is my friend, my most dearest friend like everyone else I know! Who do you ask such question!?"
"I see." She said. "Even if you think that way, she is still a Muikai Duelist and this world does not take kindly to a type of Duelist like her. By the law, she is dangerous to every societies, and everyone and anyone around her."
Mike clenched his fist in anger. "So, what! She is really a good person, never done anything wrong!"
"You don't even know where she came from or what she had done in the past. You know nothing about her." That last sentence made him gasp. As he thought about it, the things she said was the truth; he does not technically know a whole lot about Muiko.
"Well, do whatever you think of her. Either way, like every other Muikai Duelists I encounter, she will eventually go berserk and when that happen, I will put her to stop, one way or another. I play the Spell card, Pendulum Return!"
The Spell card depicted Stargazer and Timegazer in blue and red aura respectfully, jumping in mid-air to the Duelist's hand.
"When this Spell is activated, I can send up to two cads in the Pendulum Zone to the owner's hand. I choose my Pendulum Zones."
Her monsters turned into the blue and red energies, turning back into a card and added to her hand.
"Next, I, using Scale 2 DD Parallel of the North, Cancer and Scale 4 DD Parallel of the South, Capricorn, reset the Pendulum Scale!"
The monster on her right looked a lot like a crab. It had two pincers, one small and one big. Its eyes were round and black, and the coating for its body was silver and metallic. Each tip of its leg was red for color, and it also showed sharp chainsaw-like teeth for its teeth.
DD Parallel of the North, Cancer-Level 7, Scale 2, WATER, Fiend/Pendulum/Effect, 500 ATK, 2700 DEF
The monster on her left looked like a goat. Its horn was black and curled up like a shape of ammonite shell. It had dark-colored fur, red eyes, and goatee.
DD Parallel of the South, Capricorn-Level 5, Scale 4, DARK, Fiend/Pendulum/Effect, 1800 ATK, 2300 DEF
"Two new Pendulum monsters!? But, with those two, you can only summon Level 3 monsters!" Mike exclaimed.
D. Akaba ignored him. "DD Parallel of the South, Capricorn's pendulum effect activates! When DD Parallel of the North, Cancer is set in the other Pendulum Zone, then this card's scale becomes 9." Capricorn roared strongly, making its Scale increased to 9.
Mike gritted his teeth. "Now, I can summon Level 3 to Level 8 monsters. Guardian of the North, and the Guardian of the South, sway the pendulum of my soul! Bring back the Lord who rules the Pendulum Dimension as well as bringing out a new servant for him!"
Two bursts of light, both orange jumped out of the portal.
"Arise! DDD Earth Overlord Nobunaga!" Nobunaga posed for battles.
"DD Arachniwoman!" A horrifying new monster appeared at her side. The upper half of the body was a beautiful woman, with long black hair which covered half of her face and red lips, but the bottom half was a body of a spider with red, venomous pattern on the top of its buttock. She hissed at Mike, revealing sharp fangs drooling with green, poisonous saliva.
DD Arachniwoman-Level 4, EARTH, Fiend/Effect, 1000 ATK, 500 DEF
"Her monster effect activates! I select one DD monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it with its effect negated and ATK reduced to zero." She said as her monster shot a string of web into the Graveyard portal. She then pulled the string, bringing out DD Cerberus.
"Wh—What is she planning to do!?" Mike thought.
"When a monster summoned through her effect is successful, I can use her and that monster as materials for Fusion Summon!"
"What!?" Mike gasped.
"Beautiful maiden of webs, hellhound of Hyde, join together to call forth the lord who rules over the Fusion Dimension! Fusion Summon! Emerge! DDD Flame Overlord Temujin!" The familiar fusion returned to the field.
"No way!" Mike disbelieved.
"DD Parallel of the North, Cancer's pendulum effect activates. Once per turn, I can use the monster on my field or hand as materials for Fusion Summon. I choose my two DDD monsters on the field." She decided.
"Wait, you're Fusion Summoning again!?" Mike surprised.
Cancer breathed out bubbles, shooting them at Nobunaga and then Temujin. They both floated in a bubble until they popped out, transforming together into a swirl of orange and red energies.
"Lord of the Pendulum with earth-shattering ambition and strength, join forces with the Lord of the Fusion with fiery power! Combine into one and become the fiery lord with flame of passion! Fusion Summon! Arise! DDD Blazing Earth Overlord Hideyoshi!"
The new Fusion monster wore red armor with golden color. It wore a kabuto helmet with iron crest of spikes, each pointing in different direction and they're all coated in gold for color. Its eyes were glowing in yellow. A spear materialized in flame in front of it. It grabbed and waved it around, revealing to be a black spear with red blade at the tip, burning in fire.
DDD Blazing Earth Overlord Hideyoshi-Level 8, FIRE, Fiend/Fusion/Effect, 3300 ATK, 2500 DEF.
Mike awed at the mighty, new monster in front of him.
"This is the combined power of Nobunaga and Temujin. This is what Duelists called Pendulum Fusion." She said.
"Pendulum…Fusion." Mike repeated.
"DDD Blazing Earth Overlord Hideyoshi's effect activates! When he is Fusion Summoned, all face-up monsters on your side of the field cannot activate its effect! Dominance Seal!"
Hideyoshi slammed its spear into the empty space, making flaming chains appeared and entrapped his monsters.
"Hope! Scuba Striker!" Mike cried.
"Now, battle! I attack your Victory Fighter Hope! Blazing Dominant!"
Hideyoshi charged with its spear, piercing it into Hope's crest and destroying it.
"Hope! Nnoooo!" He yelled as the impact caused him to blast away.
Mike's LP: 2350
"My monster's second effect also activates! When it destroyed a monster, it allows it to attack again! Strike his last monster with one last Blazing Dominant!"
"Gyyyyyaaaahhh!" Mike screamed again.
Mike's LP: 350
D. Akaba snatched a nearby Action Card and immediately uses it. "Action Spell, Shooting Star Activates! With this Spell, Hideyoshi can attack one more time, but its ATK is cut in half!"
Hideyoshi charged again as fiery aura emanated around its body. The final blow made him get blasted away.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgghhh!" He screamed.
Mike's LP: 0
D. Akaba Wins!
