Chapter 4: Day 1 - Beast to Dragon Showdown
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
After leaving the park after Denine's victory, the girls wanted to get some lunch and found a nearby diner called the Master Red Star diner near the main part of the city. They both decided just a crispy chicken sandwiches with fries and diet cokes for drinks. While waiting for the lunch to be done, Serena had her deck spread out on a table and was looking at with her new friend watching her and she sighed and replied, "I have one of the best and most unique decks in in the dueling world right now, I think."
Ashlee nodded and replied, "Can I ask you something?"
"Of course, girl. Ask away."
"Where did you get this deck idea? It's a really well made deck."
"Glad you asked. I always liked Xyz monsters and I wanted a deck that would surprise anyone that I dueled and thanks to all of the cards we have now, my deck is amazing and powerful. I use mostly Level 6 and 4 monsters for my deck plus a a couple of high leveled monsters and some low leveled ones as well as well as a mixed variety of Xyz, fusions and a couple of Synchro monsters as well. I'm proud of the work I did on it.
"You'll destroy anyone that you duel, girl. Your deck is amazing."
Her new friend smiled as a waitress came with a platter with food on it and she replied, "Deluxe Crispers with Fries?"
The ladies nodded as she gave them each their food.
-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
After finishing the meal, they left the diner, they saw a dueling happening and it was a small crowd around them both. It was a male facing a female. The guy (Who was named David) was a muscular thin guy wearing a white shirt that said SAN ANTONIO MUSCLE CLUB on it and in red letters. He had a Warrior Dai Grepher (ATK: 1,700) and a Gearfried the Iron Knight (ATK: 1,800) as his monster and he had a faceup A. Forces powering them both up (ATK: 1,800 - 2,200) - (ATK: 1,700 - 2,100) plus 1 facedown card and 2,300 lifepoints left. His opponent was unique to say at least. She was wearing a flowered dress, flowered gloves on her hands and the most unique of her attire was a white mask with a rose on both sides of it and both of her arms were covered in a sleeve of flower tattoos as well. She had a Revival Rose (DEF: 1,200) and a Gigantic Cephalotus (ATK: 1,850) and she had 2 facedown cards and 4,500 lifepoints left and two cards in her hand. She never once told her name, but she was talking during the duel and it was his turn. This was David's first 2nd duel and had 3 chips at the moment and he bet two of them, the only two star chips the girl had.
(David LP: 2300) -ooooooooo- (?: 4500)
David drew a card and replied, "You're still weirding me out, lady. Warriors, slice and dice her plants!"
They both rushed in and Grepher chopped the large pitcher plant to bits and Gearfried did the same thing to her Revival Rose and she didn't even flinch as the attacks hit her monsters (?: 4500 - 4150).
"Are you even human? I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
The duelist drew a card and resumed, "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Revival Rose."
As her trap flipped up, the roses with three eyes appeared (ATK: 1,300).
"Now, I Summon my Angel Trumpeter."
She played and a plant Tuner appeared (ATK: 1,900).
"I activate my Miniaturize on my Rose."
The dark plant shrank down a little bit (ATK: 1,200 - 200) (LV: 3 - 4).
"I tune my Angel Trumpeter with my Revival Rose."
The plant-like fairy glowed as it split into 3 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through Revival Rose, which turned into 4 white stars (*3 + *4 = *7) and then she began to chant:
"Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Black Rose Dragon!"
As she sat the card down, the crowd (Including Ashlee and Serena) let out a gasp as the legendary Black Rose Dragon appeared with a mighty roar (ATK: 2,400).
"I use his effect to destroy the field."
The huge dragon glowed as a huge blizzard of rose petals flew everywhere and both of his Warriors, the A. Forces card and the facedown Mirror Force and the girls facedown card all exploded into shards and then the dragon shattered into pixels as well and then saw the Dragon come right back (ATK: 2,400).
"My facedown card was a spell card Basal Rose Shoot and when it's destroyed, Black Rose Dragon or a monster that shows the name in their text can be Special Summoned."
David then replied, "Wait a minute. I thought you already had to have one of those monsters in your graveyard already."
"Correct. Remember I used my Gale Dogra earlier in the duel?"
"That is why you paid 3,000 points to get a Black Rose Dragon to your graveyard. You have two of them?"
"You are correct on both of those statements. Attack him directly with Black Rose Gale."
The dragon roared as a huge burst of fiery black energy shot out and a explosion of energy covered David's side of the field.
(David LP: 2300 - 0) -ooooooooo- (?: 4150)
Her dragon vanished and then she replied, "Good duel."
He sighed and gave her the chips and she slowly walked away and the crowd stepped aside until she was no longer in sight and Ashlee then replied, "Okay, that was intresting."
Serena nodded and replied, "That really was. Wanna get a coffee, girl?"
She nodded as they both left towards their hotel.
-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
After the long walk to the area, they both made it to the coffee shop and both decided on a Island Mega Cooler that was exclusive to the Starbucks on the island.
Ashlee then replied, "This one of the tastiest drinks I ever had."
her new friend nodded and replied, "he pineapple dragonfruit combo is really good and flavorful."
"Man, that girl that dueled today is really powerful. Two of the most powerful Dragon Synchro in the game are at her disposal. She's going to be tough to beat. Do you know anything about her?"
"Never heard or seen her duel at all, Ashlee. We should stay away from her for now."
Her friend nodded as they both continued to drink their drinks and they saw a tall female with blonde hair and wearing a black shirt and blue jeans (That had a black belt through them) and the gauntlet on her arm had 4 Star Chips in it and she had a black backpack on her back as well and Ashlee saw her and replied, "Who's is she?"
Serena nodded and replied, "I actually do know about her. Her name is Morgana Reclason, The Champion of the Spanish Master Tournament held last spring in Barcelona. She's a very powerful duelist with a vicious deck and she speaks Spanish and English both perfectly."
She nodded as he saw her get a drink and Ashlee waived her hand in the air. She saw the girls and walked over to their table and she smiled and replied as she spoke a small spanish accent, "Afternoon, ladies."
Judi Lyn then replied, "I'm Ashlee and this Serena."
She nodded and replied, "I'm Morgan and I heard about your dueling wins from my hometown of Madrid. Either you want to face me in a duel?"
Ashlee nodded and replied, "I haven't dueled yet. I'll face you after we have our drinks. We'll duel outside of the hotel."
"You got yourself a duel, lady. See you outside."
They both nodded as she left with her drink and Serena then replied, "Think you can take her down, girl? I heard she one powerful deck."
"With the deck I have. I don't think I'll have any trouble doing so."
Her new friend nodded as they continued to finish their drinks.
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Outside of the hotel, the two duelists were standing across from each other and many others were watching the duel as well. Serena was watching from a nearby bench and she was watching over Morgana's backpack as well.
Morgana smiled and replied, "You have 2 and I have four. Want to go crazy and bet 2 of yours?"
She nodded and replied, "Sounds daring and I like it. I accept your wager."
I really hope she can win this duel. I hate to see a champion go down in her first duel before I even have a chance to duel her., Serena thought to herself as she watched as they both activated their duel disks and then the disks auto-shuffled their decks and both drew 5 cards
"Es hora de mostrar el poder de la bestia, amiga!", Morgana said with a smile and Ashlee looked confused and then looked back at Serena and she sighed and replied, "She just said time to show the power of the beast, my friend. Lucky for us, I speak Spanish fluently."
She smiled and nodded and resumed, "I like foward to facing a Beast deck. Love facing new decks when I duel."
Juego en!", Morgana yelled out.
(Morgana LP: 8000) -ooooooooo- (Ashlee LP: 8000)
"Since I have more chips then me, I Go first. I'll set a monster and a card and that's my turn now."
Ashlee drew a card and replied, "Let's see what I'm up against. I summon my Lancer Windwurm."
She played and a dragon warrior with a lance for a weapon appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"Attack her facedown monster."
The dragon went in and the classic Griffore appeared on the card (DEF: 1,500) and he jammed his lance into the side of the large beast and it let out a small squealing noise before collapsing to the ground and then shattering soon after (Christina LP: 8000 - 7700).
"I see. Your move now, girl."
She drew a card and replied, "I activate Cost Down."
She discarded a card and resumed, "I Normal Summon my Berfomet."
She did so and the horned Fiend appeared (ATK: 1,500).
"I can get Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts from my deck."
She quickly got the card from her deck and resumed, "I now activate Polymerization to fuse my monsters together!"

"It will be soon enough. I now activate my Poison Fangs!"

The mighty beast flew in and slammed down its legs, crushing the Lancer in a shower of pixels & dust (Ashlee LP: 8000 - 7600) and then a burst of purple spores shot out and slammed into her (Ashlee LP: 7600 - 7100)

The huge dragon let out a fiery burst of energy and it shot and Morgana resumed, "I'll banish the Phantom Beast Thunder-Pegasus to prevent my Phantom Beast from being destroyed for the rest of the battle and thanks to her effect, it's always treated as one."
"Crap, crap, crap! Alexandrite Dragon, attack!"

"Thanks for say so! Chimera, attack her Des Volstgalph! Salto aporreador!"
