Special Return! Muiko vs. Mike Part 1
"So Mr. Griffon, why did you gather us here?" Mike asked.
Mr. Griffon guided Mike, Hannah, and Muiko as they walked down the hallway.
"Don't ask me. Ask Muiko for this," he replied. Muiko just huffed in response.
The hallway led them to a door at the end. The door automatically opened, presenting a large chamber.
"Woah! What is this place?" Hannah asked.
"It's a personalized Duel Arena, made by the old man here himself." Muiko spoke as she explained. "I use it to practice my dueling skills."
"So, there is like your personal training room," Mike said as he looked around.
"The reason I gathered you here is actually her idea. She wants to duel you, so she can find out how strong you've become," Mr. Griffon said.
"Huh!? Me?" He asked.
"Yes, you. You are the only one here," Muiko stated obviously.
"Well…Um…I guess we can duel," Mike agreed nervously.
"Then, it's settled," Mr. Griffon said. "I'll get the Action Field ready. After the preliminaries, the following rounds will be a lot of Action Duels. This would be a good practice for both of you as well as to see how much you two became strong since you met."
"Actually, Old Man, I don't want to do Action Duel." Muiko spoke up.
"You don't?" He asked.
"It would be just a regular one on one duel," she said, before she looked at Mike. "Do you agree?"
"Um, sure. I guess," Mike replied.
A bit later, Mr. Griffon and Hannah watched from an overseeing window in the control room. Muiko stood tall at the other side while Mike stood at the opposite side. They were about a foot apart from each other.
"You're ready for this, Mike?" Muiko asked as she activated her Duel Disk.
Mike was staring in space. "Hey! Earth to Mike!" He snapped out of thoughts. "I said are you ready for this?"
"Oh! Sorry about that. It's just that…."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. You are surprised that this happened," she shrugged. "But, this is what you wanted on the last day of school, remember?"
Mike did remember that he asked Muiko to duel him during the last day of the school. However, that was when they met Toro, one of the Muikai Lords.
"Right!" Mike replied, looking more focused as he activated his Duel Disk.
"DUEL!"
Muiko vs. Mike: 4000 LPs
"I shall take the first move," she stated. "I summon Elemental Beast Fluorine Cheetah!" A yellow cheetah with gas-like body dashed out of the portal before it stopped and roared strongly for battles. It had letter F on the sides of both arms.
"Via its card effect, I can Special Summon Elemental Beast Iron Hammerhead from my hand!" A hammerhead shark made of iron, with a letter Fe on the forehead appeared. "And, since it summoned by its effect, it can inflict damage equals to its ATK to you! Iron Headbash!"
Iron Hammerhead swam very quickly before it rammed straight into Mike, causing him to cringe painfully in his chest.
Mike's LP: 3200
"I set two cards and end my turn," she finished.
"She started off with her usual strategy," Hannah stated.
"Indeed, but I doubt that is the only thing she would do," Mr. Griffon said.
"OK…My turn, draw!" Mike drew his card. He looked over his cards in hand for few seconds before he picked one. "I summon Victory Fighter Saber from my hand!"
The male warrior with green shades and spiked up hairstyle came out of the portal, showing off its 1400 ATK. "Via its card effect, I Special Summon Victory Fighter Armar Armor from my hand!"
This one was armor with several missiles and firearms attached all over to its body. It had two missiles attached to its front plate that made a cross that made a shape that looked like a letter V.
Victory Fighter Armar Armor-Level 4, EARTH, Warrior/Effect, 100 ATK, 2100 DEF.
"When this card is Special Summoned, I can equip it to another Victory Fighter monster on my side of the field, and then it gains 700 ATK!" The armor monster attached itself to Saber as he wore it as if it was his own armor.
"Battle Phase! I declare Victory Fighter Saber to attack E.B. Fluorine Cheetah!" Mike declared as his warrior launched for an attack with his saber beam sword. "Destroy it with V-Saber!"
"Trap Card, opens! King Antlion's Monstertrap!" The trap flipped up as giant pit opened beneath Saber, causing him to fall into it. Then, a large brown antlion with menacing red eyes appeared in the center of the pit and then it grabbed Saber into the sand, destroying him.
"Ah! Saber!" Mike cried.
"When my opponent declares an attack on my monster, this Trap destroys the attacking monster. Then, I can treat this card as a monster and Special Summon it!" The same antlion appeared on her side of the field in face-up Defense Position.
King Antlion-Level 5, EARTH, Insect/Effect, 1800 ATK, 1500 DEF.
"Dang it, but no matter!" Mike claimed. "I play the Spell Monster Reborn to bring back Saber in DEF mode! Then, I set a card and end my turn," Mike finished.
"My turn! I draw!" Muiko shouted.
"Man, she is so serious as always. Too serious…" Hannah sighed.
"She is that passionate about dueling, that's all," Mr. Griffon said.
She looked at the card and made a small grin. "So, it's finally the time to test this new Deck by using this card," Muiko thought.
"Via its card effect, I tribute Iron Hammerhead to Advance Summon Level 7 Elemental Prebeast Irontops from my hand!" Iron Hammerhead turned into a ray of light with a new monster appearing out of it.
The monster stomped strongly, revealing it to have four legs. It had long, gray tail and two yellow reptilian eyes. It had two long iron horns spiked out of its head, and one horn on its nose. It roared strongly, like a real Triceratops.
Elemental Prebeast Irontops-Level 7, EARTH, Dinosaur/Effect, 2500 ATK, 2500 DEF.
"Elemental Prebeast?" Mike looked confuse. "I never heard that Archetype before! When did you get it?"
"It's been with me for a long time," Muiko stated.
"What?" Mike gasped.
"Woah! A new monster!" Hannah surprised. "But, wait! Did she just tribute 1 monster to summon a Level 7 monster? Isn't that against the rule!?"
"Elemental Prebeast Irontops is Special Summoned from my hand by tributing one Elemental Beast with Iron in its name, treating that Special Summoning as Advance Summon," Muiko explained.
"An Advance Summon via card effect!?" Mike awed.
"Battle Phase! I declare Irontops to attack your Victory Fighter Saber!" She declared. "Its effect activates! If Irontops attacks a Defense Position monster, it inflicts piercing battle damage to your Life Points!"
"Say what!?" Mike gasped. "Ah! I got to use this now! Trap card, opens! Half-Cake!" The trap flipped up, showing a chocolate cake that was cut in half by a knife held by a green hand with sharp fingernails. "If I would to take a Battle Damage this turn, this card reduces the damage by half!"
Irontops staved Saber with its horn through his chest, causing it to scream in pain before it exploded. Mike held on the pain as his Life Points decreased.
Mike's LP: 2100
"I end my turn," she said.
Mike was on his knees, but he steadily got back up. "Man…Muiko…she is just as strong as always. Perhaps, she even got stronger. I've never expected that she had another Archetype in her Deck. I guess…I got to get serious, too! My turn! Draw!"
He drew his card and smiled at it. "I, using Scale 3 Victory Fighter Chibi Samurai and Scale 9 Victory Fighter Roman Rider, set the Pendulum Zones!" The word "Pendulum" appeared on his Duel Disk's blade as two monsters rose up through the pillar of light.
"With my Pendulum Scale completed, I can now summon monsters with Level from 4 to 8! Sway, pendulum of my soul! Draw the arc of hope to support my victory! Pendulum Summon! Go! Victory Fighter Hope!"
His ace monster appeared as it created a kanji in the air with its katana sword. "I activate Victory Fighter Roman Rider's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, by reducing one monster's ATK by half, I can direct attack this turn! I cut Hope's ATK, so that it can direct attack! Go! Hope!"
Hope had glowing yellow aura, causing its ATK be reduced by half as it disappeared and then reappeared in front of Muiko. He slashed Muiko as there was silence for the moment until Muiko fell to her knees.
Muiko's LP: 2750
"I end my turn!" Mike finished.
"Alright! At least he did some damage to her," Hannah said. "Not to mention that Muiko can't do anything to him. Her Irontops have same ATK, and Fluorine Cheetah can't ATK because it has lower ATK than Hope's."
"True, but I don't think that would stop her," Mr. Griffon stated.
"My turn! Draw!" Muiko exclaimed as she drew her card. She made a small smile at the card she drew. "I play the Spell Tar Trapper!" The Spell Card showed Elemental Prebeast monsters, like a saber tooth tiger and Woolly Mammoth getting stuck and struggled to get out of the large tar pit.
"I can send any number of Elemental Prebeast Monsters I control on the field or from my Graveyard to my Deck! Then, I draw the number of cards equal to the same number of monsters I sent!" She explained. "I send back Irontops from my field to my Deck, so I can draw 1 card!"
Irontops roared as giant tar sucked it beneath its feet before it disappeared as she sent its card form to her Deck and drew 1 card in exchange. "Lucky draw…I tribute my Elemental Beast Fluorine Cheetah to Advance Summon my Level 7 Elemental Prebeast Fluoridactyl!"
Fluorine Cheetah roared before it turned into a ray of light. Something swooned up into the sky before it revealed itself. It was a yellow pterodactyl with orange eyes. Its wingspan was large, with some fluorine gases emanating out of it. It also had two, three-fingered claw on each wing in the front, and short tail.
Elemental Prebeast Fluoridactyl-Level 7, WIND, Dinosaur/Effect, 2600 ATK, 1800 DEF.
"Its monster effect activates!" Muiko proclaimed. "If this card summoned by its effect, I can pay any amounts of Life Points to inflict damage equals to twice the Life Points I pay, but I cannot pay Life Points enough to deplete all of my opponent's Life Points. I pay 1000 Life Points to inflict 2000 points of damage!"
Muiko's LP: 1750
"Say what!?" Mike and Hannah gasped.
"Fluoridactyl! Fluorine Swoop!" Her flying reptile struck down with a single swoop, leaving off trails of gases as Mike coughed while taking damage.
Mike's LP: 100
"Unfortunately, when I used this effect, Fluoridactyl cannot declare to attack this turn," she mentioned. "I set a card and end my turn here!"
"Oh crap! Mike only has 100 Life Points left!" Hannah cried.
"There is no worry for that," Mr. Griffon said calmly. "Besides, he has his ace monster on the field to help him this turn."
"My turn! Draw!" Mike stated. "With my Pendulum Zones set, I'll Pendulum Summon again! Come out, my monster friend! Victory Fighter Scuba Striker!" The scuba diver appeared on his side of the field, with its spear gun.
"Scuba Diver's effect activates!" Mike declared. "When it is Special Summoned, it inflicts 400 points of damage to your Life Points!" Scuba Diver shot a spear. It pierced through Muiko as she cringed a bit. She held the spot where she got shot.
Muiko's LP: 1350
"Battle Phase! I declare Hope to destroy your monster!" He followed up as Hope got his sword out ready. "At this point, his monster effect activates! When it attacks a monster with higher ATK than its ATK, that monster gets destroyed instead and I gain Life Points equal to half of that destroyed monster's ATK! Victory Slash!"
His ace monster jumped high into the air and slashed the beast in V-shape fashion. Her monster cried painfully before it exploded.
Mike's LP: 1400
"OK! I activate Roman Rider's Pendulum Effect! I cut Scuba Diver's ATK to direct attack this turn!" Scuba Diver shot its second spear, hitting Muiko again for second time.
Muiko's LP: 600
"This is going great!" He thought.
"Trap card, opens! Ancient Discovery!" Muiko shouted. A trap flipped up, revealing some parts of T-Rex fossil discovered by explorers while some Elemental Beast monsters, like Fluorine Cheetahs, Oxygen Elephants, and Sulfur Leopards moving in the background.
"If Elemental Prebeast monster gets destroyed by battle or card effect during this turn, I can tribute 1 monster that I control on the field to Special Summon that monster from my Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. I tribute my King Antlion!"Her Trap monster disappeared before a portal opened up to her Graveyard, causing Fluoridactyl to fly out of it. The portal closed up and her monster closed its wing, indicating its defensive position.
"I really can't do anything here. I will just end here," Mike decided as he finished his turn.
"My turn! Draw!" She drew her card strongly. "I play the Spell Xyz Ceremony!" It showed several Xyz monsters attending a graduation ceremony. "I target 1 monster on my side of the field and use it to Xyz Summon 1 monster from my Extra Deck. I target Fluoridactyl to build the Overlay Network!"
Her flying dinosaur turned into a green energy before it flew into the spiral galaxy portal. Huge energy burst out of the portal.
"Ancient king beast of the prehistoric times, rise from your fateful death and walk alive in this world once again! Present the modern age your mighty aura and power! Xyz Summon! Arise! Rank 7! Elemental Prebeast Gold King Tyrano!"
A shiny, golden T-Rex appeared as it roared. It had two glowing crimson eyes, razor-sharp teeth in silver color, and two tiny arms with two sharp claws. Crimson red markings covered its hind legs, tail, and some parts of the body, including its chest and surrounding areas around its eyes. It had the periodic symbol for Gold on the center of its forehead. Only one golden comet-like Overlay Unit spiraled around itself.
Elemental Prebeast Gold King Tyrano-Rank 7, Pendulum Scale 5, LIGHT, Dinosaur/Xyz/Pendulum/Effect, 3100 ATK, 1800 DEF.
Mike and Hannah jaw dropped to the present appearance of the huge beast. It looked like something out of any young children's wildest dream, or even possibly nightmare. It was definitely something out of dinosaur fanatics' wildest dream.
Gold King Tyrano roared powerfully at Hope as two monsters fought mentally while they looked each other into their eyes.

Hello, hello everybody! This story, my first (technically second, but first one was deleted for personal reason...) fanfiction is back! Yesterday was the 1-year anniversary for this story, so to celebrate it, I decided to write this special chapter and begin working on this story again!
I want to make few important announcements. First is the crossover story; while I still want to make story for Muikai with Mirror, I don't think I have the feeling to do so. I had it, but I kind of don't want to focus on it for awhile until I am ready. So, if you are wondering when I will upload a new chapter for that story even though it is uploaded with one chapter, it won't be updated until further notice. Sorry about that, but I just want to focus on this, and other stories that I am interested in as of now. Second is I graduated from college this week. The ceremony was wonderful, and the next step of my life opens; job seeking. It may get tough from here, so there may be times when I am not updating frequently when I get the job. Wish me luck on that. Third, Muiko is going to use a new Deck from here and onward. This Deck focuses on the new Archetype; Elemental Prebeast. It is based off of prehistoric animals that were extinct millions of years ago. The Deck focuses on chaining Advance Summon and Xyz Summon with the support from Pendulum Summoning.
With that said, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter after a long hiatus. I hope this story succeed and continue as I know that there are a lot of you who like this story. I hope to see you all in the next chapter, and have a nice day. See you next time.
