"Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Petals has taken the early lead in this King of the Hill event!" said Cadance as the roar of the crowd still continued.
Back on CPA's side, Roxanne made her way to the others and sat on the bench, looking defeated.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be, Roxy. She just got lucky, is all," said Phin as she was already rethinking about their game plan.
"Phin's right. That little streamer doesn't have half the skills you have. She only stood a chance because of Flurry's cousin."
"That son of bitch made changes to her deck," said Athena.
"Did you expect that Flurry?" asked Axiom.
"What's done is done. My cousins no doubt have their fingerprints all over this," sighed the girl. "So… you two play want to this game? Then game on. Shirai! You're going in!"
"Right," said the girl as she strapped on her duel disk and projected a teal-colored duel tray.
"And it'll be Ms. Shirai, the Genius of the Sky, who calls herself stepping up for Crystal Prep. And now the other rules of King of the Hill will take place. With Ms. Shirai now being the next duelist for her team, Ms. Petal's battle phase automatically ends. This cycle will continue for the rest of the duel." said Luna over the mic.
Shirai made her way to the field and stared down at Pipp. The girl refocused herself on her new opponent as, despite her personal win against Roxanne, she still had a war to continue. The Crystal Prep smirked as she lifted her duel disk and prepared to battle. The girl's turn ended with Pipp's battle phase ending and no more cards in her hand.
Pipp's Life Points: 4100-
Shirai's Life Points: 8000-
Turn 1: Shirai (Hand 5)
"It's time for me to turn this duel around in our favor. Here goes!" said Shirai as she drew. "First, I summon my Red Resonator(500/200)! Next… since I normal summoned a 'Resonator' monster, I can special summon my Red Warg(1400/2200) by cutting its attack points in half!" Out came a werewolf with streaks of fire along its body. "Now… I tune my Red Warg with my Red Resonator!" Shirai's monster turned into two giant rings of fire that circled her other monster as a yellow light surged. "Now, from the ancient chasms of a lost world, I awake a great and terrible power! I Synchro Summon! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend(3000/2500)!" Out came a dragon as it roared and burst out from a ring of fire; around its right claw, it had a fire-like gauntlet that seethed with power.
"Next, I activate Scarlight's special ability. It destroys all your special summoned monsters with fewer attack points than it. And for each one perished by its flame, you take 500 points of damage! Go, Scarlight!" said Shirai as her dragon slammed the ground and made it crack open as Pipp's monster erupted into flames. The fire traveled to Pipp as she yelled as the heat was intense.
Pipp's Life Points: 3600-
"Next, since I control a Level 8 or higher Synchro monster, I can special summon my Creation Resonator(800/600)!" said Shirai as Pipp looked up to see another small fiend cackle at her. Now… say goodbye!" The girl's dragon roared as it opened its mouth. Her smaller monster transferred its power to its comrade, and a giant fireball formed and shot forward. It traveled straight to Pipp, and she couldn't do anything about it.
The fireball made contact and exploded. A giant wind came over as in the smoke, Pipp was thrown backward and onto her back as she hit hard.
Pipp's Life Points: 0-
Winner: Shirai
Pipp's portrait was crossed out as Shirai's was highlighted and had the word winner under it.
"And Ms. Shirai wins the next duel for her team. A much-needed victory!" said Luna over the mic.
"Pipp!" shouted Zipp, concerned for her sister.
The stylish grunted in pain as she got up and looked around. She looked at the screen and registered that she was out, as it stung a bit. However, she still got some applause from her school, who congratulated her on a job well done. Pipp picked herself up with a heavy heart and walked off the field.
"Hey, awesome job, sis!" said Zipp as Pipp approached them.
"You did great!" cheered Izzy.
"Thanks, everyone!" said Pipp, smiling at her group.
"CHS, send out your next duelist!" said Cadance over the mic.
"Okay, so…"
"I got this, Sunny. Wish me luck, y'all!" said Zipp as she began to step forward.
The heiress began to make her way to the field as the others watched her leave. Pipp turned to look at Mario as she smiled.
"Thanks," said the stylish as she leaned in and kissed Mario's cheek.
"And Ms. Storm will be the one!" said Luna.
Shirai saw Zipp come onto the field as the heiress strapped on her duel disk and ejected a white color card tray. The girl adjusted her cap as she looked ready to battle with Crystal Prep.
"Your sister didn't stand a chance. And I beat you in our last duel!"
"Yeah, but that was before I upgraded my deck. Let's see you try to beat me this time!" stated Zipp.
Shirai's Life Points: 8000-
Zipp's Life Points: 8000-
Turn 1: Shirai (Hand 3)
"Oh, that shouldn't be too hard. My battle phase may be over, but it's still my turn. So… I'll throw a facedown and pass it over to you, Zipp!"
Turn 2: Zipp (Hand 5)
"Time for me to kick-start things!" said Zipp as she drew her card. "Since I currently control no monsters, I'll bust out my Windwitch - Ice Bell(1000/1000)!" Out came a girl witch on an icicle broomstick as she waved a wand, and a small blizzard blew over.
"Windwitch?!" said Shirai as she looked at Zipp, knowing she never had that monster in her deck before.
"We've upgraded your decks since Wargames. It's time to test them out!" smiled Zipp. Now, Ice Bell's effect activates. First, I can bring out another 'Windwitch' monster from my deck. So I choose my Windwitch - Glass Bell(1500/1500)!" A small girl magician appeared riding on a broom bell made of glass. "And then Ice Bell's other effect means I can deal you 500 points of damage!" The ice witch cast her wand as a small breezy wind blew over Shirai, who put her hands up to get blasted in the face by the cold air.
Shirai's Life Points: 7500-
"Next, I'm activating Glass Bell's effect! When she's summoned, I can add another 'Windwitch' monster from my deck to my hand. Now… I tune my Windwitch Glass Bell with my Ice Bell!" said Zipp as her Glass Bell turned into four giant green rings that circled her comrade as a yellow light surged. "I'm Summoning a Monster that will hit you with all the power of a wicked wintertime blizzard! I Synchro Summon Windwitch - Winter Bell(2400/2000)!" A sudden drop in temperature came over the field as an icy wind blew over. Soon, Zipp's new monster appeared as it soared toward the heiress' side.
"Not bad," Shirai said, her breath appearing cold due to the cold. "But your monster doesn't stand a chance against my Scarlight Archfiend!"
"Well, it's still my turn, and I have some things to do. First, I activate Winter Bell's first effect. I target one 'Windwitch' monster in my graveyard, and you take damage equal to its Level times 200. So I choose my Glass Bell, and it's Level 4, meaning you're taking 800 points of damage!" stated the heiress as an ice beam was fired from her monster and headed toward Shirai as she held on despite the freezing temperature.
Shirai's Life Points: 6700-
"Now, Winter Bell, attack her Creation Resonator!" commanded the girl as her monster rushed forward and took out Shirai's other monster, dealing more damage.
Shirai's Life Points: 5100-
"Now I activate Winter Bell's other effect. During either player's battle phase, I can target one 'Windwitch' monster I control and then summon a monster from my hand whose Level is less than or equal to it. So I'm busting out my Speedroid Terrortop(1200/600)!" stated Zipp as her snake-like monster made of tops appeared with its fangs out. "And now Terrortop's ability activates when summoned, allowing me to add a 'Speedroid' monster from my deck to my hand."
"You gonna make a move or what?" called out Shirai.
"If you're so eager to lose, then I'll just set two cards facedown and end my turn!"
Turn 3: Shirai (Hand 2)
"Then it's my turn!" said the Crystal Prep girl as she drew. "I activate my Scarlight's ability. So say goodbye to your monster!" Scarlight Archfiend had its right claw emit with power as it slammed it on the ground, cracking open as fire erupted. The fire swarmed Zipp's field, covering it in a raging inferno. When the flames died down, Zipp's Winter Bell remained.
Zipp's Life Points: 7500-
"How did your monster survive?" asked Shirai.
"Thanks to my Metal Coat, trap card!" stated Zipp as her facedown appeared. "By equipping my monster with my trap, it can avoid being destroyed by your Scarlight Archfiend's ability!"
"Heh, in that case… I'll just take out your monster the old-fashioned way. Scarlight, attack her Winter Bell! Molten Crimson Flare!" shouted Shirai as her dragon opened its mouth and shot out a fireball.
"In that case, I'll get rid of my Metal Coat so that Winter Bell can avoid being destroyed in battle!" said the heiress.
"But you still take damage!"
"Well, I'm not done because I activate Winter Bell's ability! By targeting my Winter Bell, I can summon a monster whose Level is less than or equal to it from my hand. And I choose my Speedroid Fuki-Modoshi Piper(1000/1000)!" said Zipp as a small boy came out and spun his instrument in his hand before extending it to the side like a sword. At that moment, the fireball from Shirai's dragon made contact, and Zipp's monster took the hit as it warmed up some of the cold air.
Zipp's Life Points: 6900-
"Now my Piper's ability activates! When he's summoned, I can excavate the top cards of my deck equal to the number of Wind monsters I control. Then I add one of them to my hand and put the other on the bottom." stated Zipp as she drew her top two cards and looked at them. The girl took her right card and slotted her left card into her duel disk, placing it at the bottom of her deck.
"Let's hope it was worth it," smiled Shirai. "I end my turn!"
Turn 4: Zipp (Hand 4)
"My move," stated the heiress as she placed her hand on her deck.
Do you still have that card Rainbow gave you?
Yeah.
Then, it's time you start using it.
The heiress recalled her small conversation with Mario on the side while watching Pipp's duel. The girl looked at her deck, and with the new modifications that had been added, it was time for her to go all out.
"Here goes! I draw! First, I play the spell card Speed Recovery. So now I can revive a 'Speedroid' in my graveyard, and I choose my Speedroid Terrortop!" stated Zipp as her monster appeared on her field from a portal below it. "Then Terrortop's ability activates when summoned, so I can add any 'Speedroid' monster I want from my deck to my hand. Next… I tune my Piper with my Terrortop!" Zipp's monster played its flute before turning into four giant green rings that circled her other monster as a yellow light surged. "Beat your wings to whip up a whirlwind of destruction! I Synchro Summon! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon(2500/2000)!" A roar was heard as the dragon Rainbow gave Zipp appeared and surged with power, making its debut for the heiress.
Shirai and her gang all looked at the powerful beast Zipp brought out. The girl gritted her teeth, unable to ignore the power of this monster. The heiress looked at the beast she summoned, unable to ignore its incredible power.
"Next, I play the spell card Windwitch Chimes! Since I control a 'Windwitch' monster, I can summon a different one from my deck in defense mode. So I choose Windwitch - Blizzard Bell(1800/1800)!" Out came a bell with an angel on top of it. "I end my turn."
Turn 5: Shirai (Hand 3)
"My move then," said the Crystal Prep girl as she drew and looked at Zipp's field and her dragon.
I'll give Zipp this: She's forced me into a corner where I have to make the first move. Usually, it's the other way around. This heiress isn't that bad, but… if I have to bite the bait, then so be it.
"Alright, I…"
"I activate Blizzard Bell's special ability!" shouted Zipp.
"What?" said the Crystal Prep girl, not expecting the heiress to execute her move during her turn.
"Since I control a 'Windwitch' monster other than my Blizzard Bell, I can send it to the graveyard and inflict 500 points of damage to you! Then… I activate Clear Wing's ability. Since a Level 5 or higher monster activated its effect, my Clear Wing can negate it and then destroy that monster. But here's the best part: it gains the attack points of the monster it destroyed until the end of the turn. Go Reverse Revenge!" shouted Zipp as her dragon had its wings glow before expanding its power and vaporizing its comrade to pump up its own strength.
"And now that Clear Wing has 4300 attack points, it can avoid being destroyed by your Scarlight's ability!"
"You son of a bitch…" said Shirai in a soft-spoken tone, cracking a small smile.
"Nice move on Zipp's part," said Sunny.
"Well, well, primo. Looks like your princesa is smarter than she looks," commented Flurry after evaluating the heiress' move.
"Alright, alright, I'll admit. You got me on that move," Shirai said to her rival. But… don't think I'm not shaken or anything. While your dragon may be safe, your Winter Bell isn't. And since you used Clear Wing's ability, my Scarlight can use its ability safely. Scarlight, use your ability!" The girl's dragon roared and had its right claw encased in fire before slamming into the ground as it burned up and melted Zipp's Winter Bell in seconds.
Zipp's Life Points: 6400-
"Next, I activate the continuous spell card, Crimson Gaia! During my main phase, I can add one card from my deck or graveyard that lists 'Red Dragon Archfiend' in its name. So I'll take Absolute Power Force spell card!" Shirai stated as her deck ejected the card for her to grab. Next, I'll have my Scarlight attack your Clear Wing!"
"What are you up to?" asked Zipp, knowing Shirai wouldn't make a rookie move, given that she was Crystal Prep.
"Simple. My Crimson Gaia has a couple more effects. I can switch the target into facedown defense mode whenever I declare an attack. So your dragon is going to sleep!" said Shirai as Zipp's card disappeared and reappeared as a card with the back being presented sideways. "Now its defense is much weaker. Go! Molten Crimson Flare!"
A fireball was shot and headed toward Zipp's monster. The massive ball collided with the girl's monster as it erupted into a pillar of fire, causing the heiress to look away.
"I now activate my facedown. Back to the Front! So now I bring back my Clear Wing Synchro Dragon in defense mode!" the girl stated as her monster reappeared.
"Guess I'll just it out again," smirked Shirai. "I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 6: Zipp (Hand 4)
"My move! I activate my spell, Quill Pen of Gulldos. So I target my Speedroid Terrortop and Windwitch - Glass Bell from my graveyard and I select your Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Then I shuffle my monsters back into my deck while I return your monster to your hand. And since Scarlight is Synchro monster, it goes to your Extra Deck instead of your graveyard. Meaning you have to resummon it again!"
"Yeah, that's not happening! I reveal my facedown, Safe Zone!" stated Shirai as a protective barrier came over her and her dragon as the wind bounced off of it. "You already know what my continuous trap does. It protects my Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend from destruction!"
The heiress gritted her teeth as she had a feeling Shirai would have something to protect her monster.
"I summon my Speedroid Razorang(2000/0)!" stated Zipp as a boomerang appeared before morphing into her monster. "Next, I activate its ability. So I target your Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend and it loses 800 attack points until the end of the turn, then my Razorang switches into defense mode. So, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon! Attack!" The girl's dragon roared as it took to the skies and soared above Shirai's monster before diving down. The Crystal Prep teen's monster thrust out its glowing right claw as it look to stop the dragon, head-on. Shirai buckled but stood her ground and skidded back.
Shirai's Life Points: 4800-
"I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 7: Shirai (Hand 3)
"My move! And I'll begin by discarding my Assault Beast. By doing that, I can add the trap, Assault Mode from my deck to my hand." stated Shirai as she sent away her chosen card and grabbed the card her deck ejected. "Next, since I control a Synchro monster, I can summon my Synkron Resonator(100/100)! I now tune my Synkron Resonator with my Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" Shirai's monster banged its tuning forks as it turned into a single giant green ring that circled her dragon as a yellow light surged. "I Synchro Summon! Now rise… Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss(3200/2500)!" A dragon engulfed in flames appeared before it spread its wings showcasing its red color scheme and having ax blades on its wrists as it roared.
"Next, I activate Synkron Resonator's special ability. When it's sent to the graveyard from my field, I can add a 'Resonator' from my graveyard to my hand. So I choose my Red Resonator!" stated Shirai as her duel disk ejected her card from her graveyard slot for her to grab. "I then activate the effect of my Crimson Gaia to add a card listing 'Red Dragon Archfiend' from my deck to my hand. Then… I play the spell card, Red Reborn! This lets me bring back a 'Red' monster. So I choose my Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!"
"Oh, great!" said Zipp as she had two dragons to fend off.
"Now Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, get ready to attack. Now, Crimson Gaia's other effect kicks in. Forcing all of your monsters to switch into facedown defense mode!" said Shirai as Zipp's monsters all flipped down. "Now… from my hand, I activate my Absolute Powerforce spell card! With the power of this spell, I can give my Dragon all the powers it needs. First, it gains 1000 extra attack points. Second, you can't activate any cards or effects. Third, it can inflict piercing damage. And fourth… any battle damage you take… is doubled!"
"Oh, shit!" said Zipp.
"You lose!" smirked Shirai. "Molten Crimson Flare!"
The girl's dragon fired a massive fireball that headed straight toward Zipp. It collided with her weaker monster as it engulfed the field in fire. A massive explosion went off, causing everybody to look away for a moment. Shirai and her friends all smirked as they managed to put the heiress out of her misery. The fire died down as Zipp stood there, now with battle marks all over her but she wasn't down.
Zipp's Life Points: 3400-
"But how?" said Shirai, surprised to see Zipp still standing.
"What? You thought it was over?" responded the heiress with a smile.
"How did you survive?" asked the Crystal Prep girl.
"Simple. Thanks to my facedown!"
"But my Absolute Powerforce means you can't activate any cards or effects!"
"Well, my trap is a special case. Because it automatically activates when you activate a spell card!" said Zipp as her facedown flipped up. "Thanks to my Wind Barrier, by offering up my Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, my Speedroid Razorang gains its attack points to its defense points."
Shirai merely growled as she hated Zipp's quick thinking.
"Smart," said Roll.
"Wait, I'm confused. What exactly happened?" asked Izzy.
"Basically, Zipp avoided losing the duel," said Mario.
"Oh, I get it now," smiled Izzy as the gears in her brain put everything together.
"You may have survived that. But now you have nothing to protect yourself! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, attack her directly!" shouted Shirai.
The dragon opened its mouth and made a fire pillar erupt in its mouth; the attack was launched and headed straight for heiress. Zipp could only watch the attack as it hit her directly and knocked her to the floor, with her cap flying from her head.
Zipp's Life Points: 200-
"Now my Archfiend Abyss' ability activates! When it deals battle damage, I can summon a tuner monster from my graveyard in defense mode. So welcome back my Synkron Resonator!" stated Shirai as her small fiend appeared. "I then place two cards facedown. I'd stay down if I were you!"
Turn 8: Zipp (Hand 2)
"This isn't good," said Sunny, as she was worried for Zipp.
"Is there anything she can do?" asked Pipp.
"Maybe. It all depends on what she draws next," said Mario.
The heiress got up and stood her ground as she turned to face her opponent. Despite Shirai telling her to stay down, Zipp was too stubborn to listen. If the girl was going down, then she would go down swinging.
"My move!" said Zipp, placing her hand on top of her deck and drew her card. "First, I activate the other effect of my Speed Recovery in my graveyard. By banishing it, I can add a Speedroid monster from my graveyard to my hand. So I'll take my Speedroid Terrortop. Then I play the spell card, Shock Surprise! By banishing my Speedroid Fuki-Modoshi Piper and Razorang, I can destroy up to that many cards on the field."
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Cause I reveal my facedown, Red Armor!" said Shirai as one of her cards she set, flipped over. "Thanks to this trap, all 'Red' monsters can't be destroyed by card effects. So looks like my dragons aren't going anywhere!" said Shirai.
Zipp hated that Shirai managed to give her monsters protection as she hoped to get rid of them.
"In that case, I'll get rid of your Synkron Resonator and your Crimson Gaia spell card!" said Zipp as those cards were destroyed.
"Now I activate my Synkron Resonator's effect. Since it was sent to the graveyard from my field, I can add a 'Resonator' to my hand from my graveyard. So I add my Creation Resonator!" said the girl as she grabbed her card. "You're just grasping at straws, Zipp!"
I hate to say it, but she might be right. Even if I summon my Terrortop and activate its ability to add another Speedroid to my hand, I don't think that's gonna be enough. But… maybe it might take more than one… it's a long shot… but I got nothing. Let's hope this works.
"Since I control no monsters, I can summon Speedroid Terrortop to the field. And when it's summoned, its ability allows me to add a 'Speedroid' monster from my deck to my hand!"
"Even that combo won't be enough," stated Shirai.
"Yeah, you're right. Which is why, I'm gonna discard the Speedroid I just added to activate this spell card, Speedroid Wheel! Now I roll a six-sided die and whatever numbers it landes on, I can summon either 1 or 2 'Speedroid' monsters from my deck whose Levels combined equal that number!" stated the heiress as a white die appeared before her. It then began to fall as it bounced about and tumbled.
I need a high number or I'm done!
The die bounced about as Zipp bit her bottom lip. Soon the die stopped spinning as it fell onto a side that had the number five on it.
"Yeah! Alright!" said the heiress as her deck shined. "I summon my Speedroid Pachingo-Kart and Red-Eyed Dice!" From her deck, emerged the two monsters as they stood beside their comrade.
"Your roll may have paid off, but you still don't have anything close to my dragons' attack strength."
"Maybe not now… but after I tune all three of my monsters, you'll change your mind!" said Zipp as her die monster turned into a solid giant green ring that circled its comrades with a yellow light surging through. "I Synchro Summon! Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake(3000/2800)!"
"So you managed to summon a monster with at least 3000 attack points. But that doesn't mean it's safe from my Scarlight's ability!" stated Shirai.
"Which is why I'm activating Kitedrake's second ability. When it's synchro summoned, I can be able to negate the effects of all faceup cards you currently control!" said Zipp as her monster unleashed its power within and paralyzed both of Shirai's monsters, taking away their special effects.
"Alright, now you're pissing me off!" said Shirai as she didn't like Zipp doing that.
"I then place one card facedown and end my turn!" said the heiress.
Turn 9: Shirai (Hand 2)
"Time to end this!" said Shirai as she drew her card. The girl tapped her duel screen as she looked at some info to read before nodding. "I now reveal my facedown, Assault Mode Activate. With the power of this trap, I tribute my Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend to special summon one 'Assault Mode' monster from my deck in attack mode. So make way for Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode(3500/2500)!" stated the Crystal Prep girl as her dragon disappeared to reappear with some sets of armor on it as it roared.
This is it.
"Game over, Zipp! Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode. Attack her Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake!" shouted Shirai.
"I activate my facedown! Speed Urgency!" stated Zipp as a massive tornado appeared and blew in the path of Shirai's monster, causing it to halt. "Thanks to this trap, not only do I negate your attack, but your battle phase ends. And there's more, I draw one card and you have to call want it is. Should you just right, then my monster is destroyed, but if you're wrong, then you lose a monster."
"I'll take that bet!" said Shirai.
Zipp looked at her deck as she took a deep breath and drew her card. The heiress looked at her card before gazing at Shirai and held her card out.
"So, what's your guess?" asked the CHS teen.
"I'm guessing you drew a spell card."
Zipp looked at her card once more before flipping it over to reveal it was her Speedroid Menko.
"Looks like your Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss is about to bite the dust!" said Zipp.
"Not quite! By sending my Brutal Red to my graveyard, my Archfiend Abyss can avoid being destroyed. Plus, it gains 1000 extra attack points!" stated Shirai as her the mirage of her smaller dragon appeared before igniting on fire and was absorbed into its comrade. "I end my turn."
Turn 10: Zipp (Hand 1)
"It's my turn now. Here goes. I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards."
"Zipp needs to turn this around now," said Hitch as the heiress was running out of time to mount a comeback.
"I summon the tuner monster, Speedroid Den-Den Daiko Duke(1000/1000)!" stated Zipp as her monster appeared spinning its drum stick as the balls connected to it hit the center to create a rhythmic sound. "I now tune my Daiko Duke with my Kitedrake!" The monster turned into three giant green rings as it circled its comrade with a yellow light surging through. "I Synchro Summon! Hi-Speedroid Clear Wing Rider(3500/2000)!" Out came a motorbike that spun in place as there was a string attached to it with a mirage white dragon soaring above.
"I now activate Clear Wing Rider's ability! I roll a six-sided die and whatever number it lands on, I can return up to that many Wind monsters from my graveyard into my deck." A die appeared before Zipp as it was thrown; it tumbled before landing on its side with four on it. "So now, not only do I return four Wind monsters, but I can destroy up to that many cards that I shuffle back."
"No way!" growled Shirai.
"So I shuffle back my Windwitch - Winter Bell, Glass Bell, Speedroid Terrortop, and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" said Zipp as all four cards appeared one by one as they created a stack. The heiress grabbed them all and placed them on top to let her built in auto shuffler kick in. Her deck then shined before firing out two beams of energy as they pierced both of Shirai's dragons who exploded.
"Oh, I almost forgot. For each card that's destroyed, my monster gains 500 extra attack points till the end of th turn," smiled Zipp as her monster's strength rose by 1000.
"Well, I activate the effect of my Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode. When it's destroyed, I can summon a 'Red Dragon Archfiend' from my graveyard. So rise, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" stated the Crystal Prep girl as her monster rose up from a ring of fire.
"Well it won't be around for long. Clear Wind Rider, attack!"
The motorbike zoomed forward as the mirage-like monster flew down and combined its spirit with the vehicle. It was infused with power as it charged right into its target and took down the might beast with ease, causing Shirai to cover up.
Shirai's Life Points: 3300-
"I end my turn."
Turn 11: Shirai (Hand 2)
"It's my move. I'll play the spell card, Pot of Extravagance. So I banish 6 random cards from my Extra Deck facedown to draw two cards."
"That's quite a risk," commented Zipp as she wondered what Shirai was planning by getting rid of most of her Extra Deck.
"I now end my turn."
Turn 12: Zipp (Hand 2)
"Best be on my guard," said Zipp as she drew her card. The heiress looked at Shirai as she questioned why she didn't do anything. "Clear Wing, attack her directly!" The girl's motorbike began to rev up.
"From my hand, I summon my Battle Fader. Since you declared a direct attack, I can summon this monster and end your battle phase!" said Shirai as her monster appeared and it let out a loud chime that caused Zipp's motorbike to stop spinning its wheels in place.
"So that's why you didn't do anything."
"Did you really think I'd leave myself vulnerable?" mocked Shirai.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 13: Shirai (Hand 3)
"It's time we end this game!" stated the Crystal Prep girl as she drew her card. "I play Red Revenge! By sacrificing my Battle Fader, I can bring back a 'Red' monster so long as I negate it's special abilities. So rise, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" Shirai's sole monster erupted into a pillar of fire as her dragon rose. "Next, I'm summoning Red Resonator. And when I normal summon my Red Resonator, I can also bring out my Crimson Resonator(800/300)!"
"Two tuners? That can only mean…."
"I double tune my Crimsion Resonator, Red Resonator, and my Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" yelled Shirai as she stuck her hand high into the air. Her two tuners turner into a total of four giant red fire rings that circled her dragon as a yellow light surged. "Behold as the stars high above the sky and the fire that burns deep below the earth! Collide into a cosmis explosion to synchro summon! Red Nova Dragon(3500/3000)!" A red giant beast roared as it pushed away the ring of fire it was encased in.
Zipp looked at the dragon as she got flashbacks to her first duel with Shirai and how this beast wiped the floor with her.
"Red Nova Dragon's effect allows it to gain 500 extra attack points for every tuner in my graveyard. And I have four, meaning it gains 2000 attack points!" said Shirai as her dragon roared from the power boost it received. "Now to finish you off. Red…"
"I activate Clear Wing Rider's special ability!" shouted Zipp. "By offering it up as tribute, I can bring out 2 Level 7 Wind Synchro monsters from my Extra Deck with different names. So I'm brining out Windwitch - Winter Bell and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon in defense mode!" Zipp's motorbike zoomed off into a portal as on the other side, emerged her two monsters as they landed before the girl.
"You're just delaying this, Zipp. Red Nova Dragon, annihilate her Winter Bell!" stated Shirai as her dragon fired a cosmic nova attack that made Zipp's dragon burst upon connection. The attack was still powerful to make the heiress be taken off her feet and land on her stomach with a thud and groan.
Flurry enjoyed watching Zipp getting bullied around by her friend that she was almost jealous she wasn't doing it herself. Almost. Shirai looked at Zipp as the heiress began to stir. She hated that Zipp managed to survive one more turn, but knew that even with that, she couldn't win. She looked at the final card in her hand as she began to enact her plan.
"I'll set this… and that's all!" stated the Crystal Prep girl, giving one last look at her facedown.
Turn 14: Zipp (Hand 2)
The heiress managed to somehow make it to her feet as she stumbled around before regaining her compsure. Zipp took a moment to look at Shirai as the Crystal Prep girl stared her down. She glanced over to where her friends were as she saw Izzy and Sunny cheering her on. Hearing that, made her smile as she put her hand on top of her deck.
"It's my move! Here goes!" stated Zipp as she looked at her hand, trying to figure out her plan. She looked at her deck as she prayed she could draw the right card to help her. Taking a deep breath, the heiress placed her hand on top and drew. She held her arm out before turning it over and glancing at the card to see what she drew, resulting in her smiling.
"I play Hi-Speed Re-Level! By banishing my Hi-Speedroid Clear Wing Rider, I can change my Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's Level to match it. So it's now Level 11. And it gains 500 extra attack points times that Level. So that means my Clear Wing Synchro Dragon gains 5500 extra attack points!" shouted Zipp as her dragon had an aura around it as it shined.
"8000 attack points!" said Shirai as Zipp's dragon overshadowed hers.
"That's not all. Next, since I control a Wind monster, I can summon my Speedroid Taketomborg(600/1200). And then… I summon my Windwitch - Freeze Bell(1200/1200)!" Out came a witch girl as an icy wind blew over the field. "I now activate Freeze Bell's special ability. Once per turn, I can increase her Level by 1. So she's now Level 4. And then I activate Taketomborg's special ability. By tributing it, I can summon a 'Speedroid' tuner monster from my deck. So I summon my Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice(300/1500)!" Out came a pyramid dice with an eye on each side.
"I now tune my Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice with my Windwitch - Freeze Bell!" shouted Zipp as her die monster turned into three giant green rings that circled her witch as a yellow light surged through. "I Synchro Summon! Wind Pegasus Ignister(2300/1500)!" A mighty wind blew over as above the clouds burst apart to reveal a winged horse whose mane and tail were gold and had silver bits of armor all over its body while spreading its wings.
"Let's end this! Clear Wing, attack Red Nova Dragon!"
"I activate Red Nova Dragon's ability! When you declare an attack, I can banish my Red Nova Dragon until the end phase to negate your attack."
"In that case, I'll activate Clear Wing's ability! So I negate yours and destroy your monster! Reverse Revenge!" shouted Zipp as her dragon vaporized Shirai's monster. "And it gains the attack points of your monster! Now it had more than enough to wipe you out!"
The heiress's monster continued its attack as it soared up high and then dove. Shirai saw the attack coming at her as she quickly tapped her duel screen.
"I reveal my facedown, Cross Attack! With this trap, we both take the same amount of damage that I'm about to take!" said Shirai.
"But… that means…"
Zipp's mind registered what that meant. Her dragon was met with a powerful push back force as a mighty wind blew over the entire field. Both girls felt it and tried to stand their ground while putting their hands up to protect their faces. But it was too much and they were blown away and crashed to the floor hard as they tumbled before coming to a stop.

Draw
To be continued…
Author's Note: And just like that, the battle rages on. Despite, Pipp's victory, Shirai made quick work of her and was able to even the score. However, despite not winning against Zipp, she made sure that she won't win either and that she won't be getting her hands on Flurry anytime soon. However... don't underestimate the Princess of Crystal Prep Academy. She's got a plan always on hand... especially for her cousins' meddling.
