Hello, Rosestar48 here! Today we will be introducing Yuzu's Synchro Monster!
The Melodious Chevalier
Sergey immediately brakes his D-Wheel and swerves it to the left, so that it's stationary in front of the Action Card Yuya tries to take. Yuya's D-Wheel collides with Sergey's and rebounds into the air. Yuya's s Life Points fall to zero just as she appears to have let go of his D-Wheel (Yuya's LP: 0). At the next moment, he crashes into a building, appearing on the floor exhibiting several D-Wheel, including replicas of Wheel of Fortune. An explosion is then seen and heard where Yuya entered the building. . "No one went to help him?!" Yuzu horrified. "Yuya might be suffering right now…!" She states. "He could be horribly injured, waiting for someone to save her!" Yuzu points out. "The defeated are thrown away!" Shinji affirms. "If you want to say something…then tell the audience after you've won your Duel!" He tells Yuzu as he walks away. "The second match of the Friendship Cup's second round" Yuzu recaps. "In my haste to save Yuya, Shinji had me in a cornered, but…" She remises as Azusa attacks and destroys Madoliene (Yuzu's LP: 2500). Yuzu sees Sora on a building within her sight "Sora!" Yuzu exclaims. Sora then points at the helmet he's holding. "That's Yuya's?!" Yuzu recognizes the helmet. "Yuya!" She gasps. "Is Yuya all right?!" Yuzu deduces that Sora saved him. The Duelists race past Sora's sight. "The real fight starts now!" Yuzu declares. "Even if you get serious now, you're too late!" Shinji tells Yuzu. "I'm not alone!" He proclaims. "Ten of thousands of my fellow Common's wills are with me!" Shinji states. "The revolution is already started!" He declares. "No one can stop it anymore!" Shinji exclaims, as the Commons at the Duel Palace get up from their seats for Shinji.
"I activate the Spell Card: Revival Swarm" Shinji declares. "I negate the effect of one "Battlewasp" monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it" He explains. He revives Battlewasp - Azusa the Ghost Bow, which reforms from a swarm of bees (ATK: 2200). "Now, rise up, Commons!" Shinji tells them. "It's time for our strength to come together as one!" He announces. "Bring forth a revolution!" Shinji declares. "Drag down those Tops and give them a taste of our suffering!" He exclaims. The Commons cheer as the Tops look worried. "I said no provoking the audience, didn't I!?" Melissa protests. "Shinji, I understand how you feel" Yuzu tries to pacify Shinji. "But all this hatred won't change anything!" She tells him. "I want to change this society by making people smile through my Dueling…" Yuzu begins explaining. "Smile?" Shinji interrupts, asking "We'll smile when we drag those Tops down from their cushy penthouses!" He claims. "That's why we need a revolution!" Shinji states.
Yuzu grits her teeth. "The revolution Shinji talks about isn't the only way" The observing Crow notes. "That's why I put my hope in Jack" He reveals. "I thought he'd be able to turn things around" Crow believe. "But he didn't do anything" He points out. "Even though he could've changed things, the wealth and fame reduce him to the Tops' dog" Crow states. Jack continues to watch the match with a stern look on his face. "It's just as Shinji says…" Crow thinks as he clenches his fist. "I activate Pin the Bulleye's effect!" Shinji declares. "Once per turn, I inflict 200 points of damage!" He explains. "I have three Pin the Bulleyes!" Shinji points out. "For a sum of 600!" He states. Each Pin shoots a needle at Yuzu. "Shinji's effect damage hits the mark ̶ ̶ now it's 1900 vs 3400 LP!" Melissa explains to the crowd (Yuzu's LP: 1900). "Awesome!" A Common man cheers. "Go, Shinji!" Another Commons man cheers. "Yuzu…" Sam whispers. "You're planning on taking out my LP with effect before attacking Cynthia with Azusa the Ghost Bow?" Yuzu asks Shinji. "How naïve" Shinji laughs in response. "Did you think that I'd Summon Azusa the Ghost Bow with its effect negated for that?" He mockingly ask Yuzu. "I Tune the three Level 1 Pin the Bulleyes with my Level 5 Azusa the Ghost Bow!" Shinji declares. "That Synchro monster is a Tuner too?" Yuzu realizes in shock that Azusa was a Tuner Synchro Monster. "Power in concert. Bear the flames of grudge and release the arrow of revolt! Synchro Summon! Level 8! Battlewasp - Hama the Conquering Bow!" Shinji chants (ATK: 2800). "2800 ATK!" Yuzu observes. "Shinji Weber Synchro Summons again!" Melissa commentates. "Watch, fellow Commons!" Shinji tells the Commons. "This is our Synchro monster!" He claims. "A revolutionary monster, combining the strength of weak, 200 ATK monsters" Crow muses.
"Now, Commons! Gather by my side, just like this monster!" Shinji urges the Commons to gather at his side. "We'll change this society with our own hands!" He tells them. The Commons gave out a loud cheer. "Shinji! Shinji! Shinji!" The Commons cheers as the Tops continue to watch in fear. "The feelings of the Commons…their anger is coming together" Sam observes. In the Exclusives Council chamber "Chairman, they'll riot if this continues…" Gael tells White Taki, but White Taki remains unworried, as does Reiji who stands with Reira. In his office, Roger snorts "That won't happen at all" He comments. "The Tops have oppressed them for so long precisely because they're all bark and no bite" Roger comments. "That's the Commons" He states. "Venting their frustrations at the top of their lungs in enough for them" Roger says.
"Let's go, Yuzu!" Shinji calls out. "I'll defeat you, and stand on the front line of the revolution!" He tells her. Hama extends an arrow from its left wrist. "I attack Cynthia with Hama the Conquering Bow!" Shinji declares and Hama fires the arrow from its bow, destroying Cynthia. "Yuzu takes 1000 points of damage and is left with 900 LP!" Melissa commentates (Yuzu's LP: 900). "I activate Hama the Conquering Bow's effect!" Shinji declares. "Once per turn, I reduce one monster's ATK by the amount of battle damage my opponent received!" He explains. The arrows embeds in Alanis the Melodious Sorceress's arm and Alanis nonchalantly rips the arrow out and tosses it away (Alanis's ATK: 1800). "Next, Hama the Conquering Bow can attack twice in a turn!" Shinji explains. Yuzu gasps in shocked. "Go, Hama the Conquering Bow!" Shinji declares. Hama extends another arrow. "Attack Alanis the Melodious Sorceress!" Shinji orders and Hama fire the arrow "End it with 1000 points of damage!" He orders Hama. The arrow hit, creating a massive cloud of smoke "Is it over?!" Melissa declares. "Yuzu!" Yuri calls out as he and Crow watches. The Tops watch as well. "Yuzu…" Sam whispers in worry as he watches. But to everyone's shock, the smoke is absorbed into the horn of a large purple-dress spectre "What's this!" Melissa confuse. "What happened?! Why?!" Shinji confuses. "I activated Calypso the Melodious Scylla's effect" Yuzu explains. "When I send this card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can reduce battle damage to zero just once!" She states. "And we were so close!" A Commons man bemoan. The Tops gave a sigh of relief. "Yuzu…" Sam thinks. "I guess you aren't going down that easily" Shinji comments. "But you only have 900 LP left!" He points out. "I'll take you down next turn!" Shinji states. "Turn end!" He declares.
"There's no way I can lose here" Yuzu thinks. "I made a promise" She states. "I'll make everyone smile with my Dueling, end the Dimensional War, and return to our world…" She thought. "With Yuya!" Yuzu states as a image of Yuya appeared in her visors. "My turn!" She declares and draws the Spell Card Match Pump. "I activate the Spell Cards: Match Pump!" Yuzu declares. "I draw one card from my Deck, and if it's a Level 4 or lower monster, I Special Summon it" She explains. "Any other card is banished!" Yuzu states. "However, when the Special Summoned monster is a Pendulum monster that monster is destroyed and sent to the Extra Deck!" Yuzu adds. "And in this turn, I cannot Special Summon except by this card's effect!" She states. "If this draw is a Pendulum monster, I can increase effect damage with Vespers's Pendulum effect" Yuzu thinks. "Draw!" She declares, and draws the card high.
"This is?!" Yuzu gasps as her eyes widen in shock. "Tuning Magician?!" She surprised to see that she drawn Tuning Magician. Yuzu brings the card down and looks at it "What's the matter?" Shinji asks. "Get on with it!" He tells her. "I Special Summon Tuning Magician in Defense Position" She says. Tuning Magician appears and cheerfully strikes a pose (DEF: 0). "Tuning Magician?!" Sam panics. "That's the card I gave to Yuzu" He remembers. "I told her to win, and return it to Jack…" Sam recalls. "She'll be in trouble is she uses a card like that" He thinks. "The Summoned monster is Level 1, with 0 DEF!" Melissa notes. "Why does Yuzu Hiragi have that card?" Jack wonders to himself. "When Tuning Magician is Special Summoned, the opponent's LP increase by 400, while the user take 400 points of damage" He remembers Tuning Magician's effect as Tuning Magician cheerfully radiates harmonic waves from the staff that hovers next to her (Shinji's LP: 3800) (Yuzu'a LP: 500). "What on earth!" Melissa surprised. "Yuzu Hiragi cut down her own LP and increases her opponent's instead!" She narrates. Sam was panicking, but Yuzu remains calm.
"No matter how you look at this, Yuzu made a mistake!" Melissa protests. "Due to Tuning Magician's monster effect, it's 3800 against 500 LP!" She comments. "Why put such a card in your Deck?" A Common man wonders. "There's no way you can use a card that cuts your LP and increase your opponent's!" Another Commons man shouts. Sam continues to panic "That…that Tuning Magician is…" He remembers.
(Flashback)
"If you don't have it, then let me give you, the card that suits you the most" Jack tells Sam when he gave him the card. "Was it this card…?" Yuzu asks looking at Tuning Magician. "Low Level…and a weak ATK monster. He said that suited me the most…" Sam trembles as he speaks, recalling what Jack said. "He mocking me! Even thought we were both Commons!" He interpreted this as a kick in the teeth; a dismissal of Jack's own past as a Common.
(Flashback ends)
"Why did Yuzu put that card in her Deck?" Sam wonders. "Go, Shinji!" A Commons man cheers. "Get her good!" Another Commons man cheers. "Looks like the match is decided" Shinji the card. "Putting such a useless card in your Deck sealed your fate!" He comments. "There's no such thing! Every card has a purpose!" Yuzu replies. "I believe that" She says. "If I listen, the card will surely respond to me!" Yuzu states. "I want to prove that in this tournament" Yuzu thinks.
(Flashback)
Yuzu remembers adding the Tuning Magician card to her Deck. "Tuning Magician…" Yuzu thought.
(Flashback ends)
"There's no way you're a card that can only hurt your user" Yuzu thinks. Jack continues to watch. "I activate Vespers's Pendulum effect!" Yuzu declares. "For every Pendulum monster in my Extra Deck, I inflict 300 points of damage!" She explains. "There are two in my Extra Deck, which make 600 points of damage!" Yuzu states. Vespers fires a bolt of energy at Shinji (Shinji's LP: 3200). "And this turn, I cannot Pendulum Summon" Yuzu explains. "I end my turn!" She states. "So that's it" Shinji realizes. "You were planning on drawing a Pendulum monster and increase Vespers's effect damage" He understands. "But you didn't count on this at all" Shinji states. "Drawing such a useless card spelled your doom!" He comments.
"My turn!" Shinji declares and draws. "I'll bring an end to that useless card!" He proclaims. "I attack Tuning Magician with Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow!" Shinji declares and Hama extends an arrow from its wrist and fires, destroying Tuning Magician. "Tuning Magician!" Yuzu yells. "This is it" Shinji says. "Go, Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow! Direct attack!" He declares. Hama fires again "I activate Melisma's Pendulum effect!" Yuzu declares. "Once per turn, when there are no monsters on my field, battle damage is reduce to zero!" She explains. Melisma beats it kotsuzumi, and the resulting soundwaves deflect the arrow that Hama fired. "She dodged it!" Melissa cries. "We're not done!" Shinji retorts. "When Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow fails to inflict battle damage, I inflict 300 damage for every "Battlewasp" monster in my Graveyard!" He explains. "There are seven "Battlewasp" monsters on my Graveyard!" Shinji states, three Pin the Hits, Azusa, Battlewasp - Sting the Poison, Battlewasp - Dart the Hunter and Battlewasp - Twinbow the Attacker, who all rise behind Hama. "That makes 2100 points of damage!" He proclaims. All the monsters form into energy, which Hama grasps in its left hand. As they round a corner "This time I'll end it for sure!" Shinji declares. "Go! Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow!" He yells. "Become the spark that lights the beacons of revolution!" Shinji tells it. Hama fires the energy "Yuzu Hiragi!" Shinji roars Yuzu's name. Without flinching, Yuzu rounds another corner and she spies an Action Card in the center of the lane. The energy approaches as the card gleams in Yuzu's visors. "Yuzu!" Sam cries Yuzu's name – and then Yuzu dodges the energy blast. "You dodged it?!" Shinji shocked. "I activated the Action Spell: Encore!" Yuzu explains. "With this card, I can choose one Action Spell in my Graveyard and use it!" She states. "An Action Spell in your Graveyard…" Shinji confuses at first, but then he realizes what Yuzu has chosen. "Right! I chose Acceleration!" Yuzu confirms. "With its effect, Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's effect damage is negated!" She states. "Stubborn brat" Shinji calls Yuzu. "But the match is already over" He notes. "It's no use drawing it out!" Shinji tells Yuzu. "I set one card face-down and end my turn" He declares.
They pass a building filled with worried Tops "It won't end like this!" Yuzu declares. "My turn!" She declares and she draws. "I activate the Continuous Trap: Bee Formation!" Shinji declares. "When a monster is Summoned or Special Summoned on my opponent's field, Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK increase by 400!" He explains. A swarm of bees arise and form an infinity symbol behind Hama, which glows with yellow energy. "I don't know what you drew, but whenever you Summon a monster, Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK will go up" Shinji states. "Shinji deals his victory!" Melissa claims. "Can Yuzu make a counterattack?" She wonders as Yuzu looks at her draw. "It's over for her too?" Roger wonders. "I may have overestimated her a little" He admits, flicking over a black pawn on his chessboard, while Jack remains impassive on his throne. "Monster Reborn" Yuzu looks at the card that she drew. "A Spell Card that allows you to Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard" She thinks. "The monsters in the Graveyard are…" Yuzu remembers there are seven different monsters in the Graveyard. "I have 500 LP left" She thinks. "Even if I take control of Azusa the Spirit Bow, which has the highest ATK, I can't beat Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow" Yuzu thought. As she sees an image of Azusa in her mind's eye, she notices a glow next to her coming from an image of the saddened Tuning Magician. "Tuning Magician?" Yuzu confuses. The glow intensifies, and then Yuzu suddenly sees a glimpse of a robed swordswoman in a similar manner to his first vision of Musia. Yuzu see images of several cards, Melisma, Vespers, Cynthia, Alanis the Melodious Sorceress, Bee Formation", and finally her Gap Power Spell Card before stopping at the image of the robed swordswoman, who turns her head to look at Yuzu with one eye. "I got it! So that's what you wanted!" Yuzu realizes as her eyes widen.
"With the set Scale 2 Melisma and Scale 6 Vespers, I Pendulum Summon!" She declares. "Revive from my Extra Deck! Cynthia! Alanis the Melodious Sorceress" Yuzu calls out (ATK: 1800) (ATK: 1400). "I see" Shinji muses "With a Pendulum Summon, you can Summon two monsters at once" He says. "But my ATK will still increase!" Shinji states. "Via Bee Formation's effect Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK goes up by 400!" He explains (Hama's ATK: 3200). "I activate the Spell Card: Monster Reborn!" Yuzu declares. "I Special Summon one monster from my Graveyard!" She explains. "Lead me your power once more! Tuning Magician!" Yuzu tells it (ATK: 0). "Why did she Summon Tuning Magician again?" Melissa asks. "What is she thinking?!" She questions. "With Tuning Magician's effect, I increase my opponent's LP by 400, while I take 400 damage!" Yuzu reminds Shinji as Tuning Magician emits sound waves (Shinji's LP: 3600) (Yuzu's LP: 100). "Yuzu only has 100 LP!" Sam gasps. "Have you lost your mind, Yuzu?!" Shinji asks. "Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK increase again with Tuning Magician's Summon!" He reminds Yuzu of the effect of Bee Formation (Hama's ATK: 3600). "3600 ATK!" Melissa observes. "I told you so" She stuffily mutters. " What on earth is she thinking?" A Commons man wonders. "Why Summon that useless card?" A Tops man wonders.
I Tune my Level 4 Cynthia and Level 3 Alanis with Level 1 Tuning Magician!" Yuzu declares. "What?!" Shinji shocked. Roger was also in shock. "Heroine's sword that set forth unwavering illumine, arise with a spark! Synchro Summon! Level 8! Angie the Melodious Chevalier!" Yuzu chants. The Synchro Monster brandishes its swords and stands "Yuzu Synchro Summons!" Melissa declares (ATK: 2500). Reiji and Sam were shocked. "Did Yuzu just Synchro Summon from a Pendulum Summon?!" Yuri asks in shock. Roger reacts in pleased surprise. "Yuzu Summoned a Synchro monster?!" Crow shocked. "It's too late!" Shinji tells Yuzu. "Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK is already at 3600" He points out. "And with Bee Formation's effect, it goes up by another 400! Shinji states (Hama's ATK: 4000).
"I activate Angie the Melodious Chevalier's monster effect!" Yuzu declares as the monster puts its swords together as a clock face appears over it. "When a "Sorceress" is uses as a Synchro Summon material, I can add one Spell Card from my Graveyard to my hand!" She explains. The field turns blue, and time appears to rewind "What?! What on earth's happening?!" Shinji asks. "I add Gap Power from my Graveyard to my hand and…" Yuzu states. "Activate!" She declares. "I add half of the difference between out LP to one monster's ATK" Yuzu states. "The difference between my LP and Shinji's is 3500" She points out. "I add half of that to Angie the Melodious Chevalier's ATK" Yuzu states (Angie's ATK: 4250). "4250 ATK!" Shinji exclaim. "It's ATK is higher than Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's?" He shocked. "It's all thanks to Tuning Magician" Yuzu states. "Tuning Magician's effect made the difference between my LP and Shinji's even larger" She explains. "So Angie the Melodious Chevalier's ATK surpassed Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK!" Yuzu states. Shinji was thunderstruck. "You can use that card like that…" Sam shocked. "I could Synchro Summon thanks to Tuning Magician" Yuzu explains. "Every card has a purpose!" She states. "As long as I listen to it, the card will respond!" Yuzu comments. Shinji grunts in annoyances.
Upon hearing this comment, Jack smiles proudly.
"Go, Angie the Melodious Chevalier!" Yuzu declares. "Attack Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow!" She orders. Angie attacks, and Hama blocks the strike, before firing an arrow from its wrist. Angieblocks the arrow with one of its swords and strikes a pose before joining the swords at the hilt and spinning them through the air, creating a symbol similar to a clock face before slicing through Hama, destroying it (Shinji's LP: 3350). "Our monster!" A Commons man bemoan. "Next, I activate Angie the Melodious Chevalier's effect!" Yuzu declares. "When it destroys a monster in battle, it inflicts damage equal to that monster's ATK!" She explains. "Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow's ATK is…" Shinji panics, remembers. "4000" Crow finishes grimly. Angie blasts an energy surge in the shape of Hama at Shinji, and he screams in frustration (Shinji's LP: 0). His D-Wheel deactivates. "It's over!" Melissa declares. She escaped a crisis with a vicious counterattack and emerged victorious-Yuzu Hiragi!" He announces. "Splendid work. Yuzu Hiragi" A Tops man congratulate Yuzu. "What a relief. For a moment there I feared what would happen" A Tops woman sighs in relief and the noise of the crowd echoes through the Duel Palace.
Roger stands in his office with a smile as he holds a black pawn piece "Yuzu Hiragi…" He muses Yuzu's name before turning and leaving his office with a chuckle.
