Neville had activated heraklinos ability. Its might axe had destroyed ohsaka spell card in one slash, Causing the spell card to disappear.
Neville: *Phew* Glad you didn't get to use that card. Wouldn't want another pesky fusion around.
Ohsaka: ….
Neville: You've probably Figured it out by now but… Heraklinos can negate the effect of a spell card once per turn.
Ohsaka: Hmm. How annoying.
Ohsaka shrugged off.
Bonnie: Wow, that's so busted! How can miss ohsaka even defeat something like that!
Cael: You're right, bonnie. It was bad for ohsaka but she's really in trouble now.
Taka: Oof, This is the part, Where I would give some sort of analysis of how ohsaka could win but I don't think she can.
Cael: You weren't analyzing that much to begin with….
Taka: Hmph.
Cael: Still though, Neville's monster is terrifying just being able to negate a spell once is devastating to your strategy.
Taka: If there's one thing, I must compliment Ohsaka on is her perniciousness.
Taka: I think she can figure it out. As long she sees through neville's rubbish and cuts through to the heart of the matter.
Taka said with emphasis on the last part. He was right, in a sense. It felt like this whole duel was just a distraction for both neville and obsaka. For neville, it was truly about his 'scientific dueling' and his agenda about nature. For ohsaka, I'm not sure but it felt like she was fighting for something or someone. Who? Maybe one of us, or more likely her family. Either way she had someone to prove herself to.
Neville: Hurry up and end your turn? You don't have that many card left in your hand. You know, you can't do anything else.
Ohsaka: I end my turn but not because you told me to.
She scoffed.
Neville: Ah…. Mother nature is calling me.
Ohsaka: You have to use the bathroom?
Neville: W-What? ...No!
Neville: I was speaking metaphorically. I was saying nature is telling me that this is the end of our little bout.
Ohsaka: is that so? We'll see.
Neville: I'm glad you still have some bravado. -But this will be your end!
Neville said as he grinned.
Neville: Now attack! Heraklinos!
Heraklinos lurched forward. Axe in one hand, shield in another. Flames began to erupt around the beast as it was soon enveloped by said flames. Its eyes remained the only part not surrounded by flames, still they were distant and cold like an arctic winter. He sprinted forward, faster than my eyes could follow, In one second he went from being in front of neville to being right in front of ohsaka. The only thing I could see in that split second of movement was the movement of the flames behind the heraklinos. He slashed downward with his axe, causing ohsaka to flinch. Her life was now depleted and so was her chance of winning the duel.
Ohsaka LP: 2400
Neville: This is the result of my natural dueling. And now with an audience of millions, I can now show off it, Thanks to you, Ohsaka.
Neville said in a congratulating tone.
Ohsaka: Aye, Stop with the self-aggrandizement. You're 14 and you sound like a 45-year-old preacher.
She scolded.
Ohsaka: I've met guys like you neville. People who go through some sort of life changing event, Real or imagined like your 'wolf story' Some of them became duelists too.
Ohsaka: They've all ended up in the same place, defeated by me.
Ohsaka replied with scorn in her face. The two duelists had a burning passion in their voices as they had the aforementioned speech.
Ohsaka: You're not some sort of dueling guru by coming up with 'natural dueling' in fact, I don't know what that philosophy even means.
Ohsaka: The only admirable thing about you is that you want to use the prize money for actual scientific research.
She sighed.
Neville: …..
Neville stayed quiet as ohsaska said her piece.
Ohsaka: -And thats the reason you'll lose. In fact, you've already lost.
Neville: You really believe that?
Ohsaka: Yep. In fact, you'll be defeated by the end of my next turn.
Neville" I'll hold you to that. I'll end my turn.
Neville said with a glance over at the crowd.
Ohsaka: I'll begin my final turn! I draw!
Ohsaka passionately drew a card from her deck. Her fce stern and unrelenting was full of determination as she vowed to fulfill her promise. She truly wanted to advance To the next round with us, her friends.
Ohsaka: I activate monster reborn!
Ohsaka Exclaimed. She placed the card hard on her duel disk.
An ankh appeared on the field and brought back the large winged monster back like a phoenix. It had a sheen to it that it didn't have before, it was truly reborn.
Mechania Twin Flyer
Atk 2100 Def 1500
Cael: She brought That card back!
Taka: I don't think it'll help her though. With only 2100 atk, it can't get over heraklinos.
Cael: Thanks for pointing out the obvious taka.
I rolled my eyes.
Cael: She has a plan obviously. -And I have faith in her.
Taka: Ha! Your such a bleeding heart cael! But your right. We should believe in her.
Bonnie: I believe in you, Miss Ohsaka!
Bonnie cheered. Her eyes were glued as she hoped for a victory for ohsaka. Mine were too but I still knew there was a chance she could taste defeat.
Ohsaka: Hahaha!
Neville: Something funny?
Ohsaka: You've got a lot of bluster and yet you're going to get taken down by such a simple card.
Neville: …..?
Ohsaka: I activate Raigeki!.
Cael and Taka: Raigeki!
Raigeki was a simple card, It was card that could make or games. -And yet all it did was destroy all monsters on the field with a bolt of heavenly lightning.
Neville: Crap!
It was at that point that Me, taka and bonnie realized ohsaka's plan. She planned to force Neville to use heraklinos ability on this he didn't heraklinos would be destroyed.
Neville: Dammit! I activate heraklinos effect! -To negate your spell card!
He declared. Heraklinos swung his axe again, Destroying her spell card and incinerating it to ashes.
Ohsaka: The truth hurts doesn't it? I forced you with my spell card and now your wide open to my whims.
Neville: Gah!
Ohsaka flipped her hair into the wind, her face became utterly serious as she pressed the next card against her duel disk. It was card that would truly change the course of this duel and ensure her Success.
Ohsaka: I activate Mechania fusion!
A bright yellow light appeared from ohsaka's duel disk. The light curved around her arm as if it was dancing around ohsaka. Eventually the light transferred itself to the field where it stayed.
Ohsaka: Using this card, I can fuse mechania monsters by using cards from my hand, field and graveyard!
Ohsaka: I'll fuse Mechania Twin flyer on the field with my Mechania flyer in the graveyard!
She declared.
The mechania flyer in ohsaka's graveyard appeared from the grave. This monster and her twin flyer came together in the aforementioned light. They disappeared into the light, which then turned into a beacon that shot up into the sky.
Ohsaka: Come forth! Mechania Triple Flyer!
In the sky, where the beacon of light had pointed towards, Ohsaka's new beast had arrived. The creature that came out was truly awe-inspiring. A phoenix , appeared. Three heads protruded out, each with a sharp beak and dynamic eyes. Its metal was slightly different than those mechania monster of before. Instead of being yellow and black, it was gold and black. The monster was towering 30 feet tall, and nearly covered all of ohsaka with its shadow. In addition, The creature was wider than it was tall with its two metallic wings being about twice As long as its main body. Finally in the middle of its chest was giant circular red core that shined brightly, most likely, It powered this machine.
Mechania Triple Flyer
Level 7
Light/Machine
Atk 2700 Def 2100
Neville: Woah that machine is…!
Ohsaka: Amazing? Awe-Inspiring? Whatever adjective you have in that brain of yours can't even begin to describe what this monster can do!
Ohsaka: -Bit this is just the beginning of your Problems!
Ohsaka: I'll use a spell card - Limiter Removal!
Neville: Another one!?
Ohsaka: It of course doubles the attack points of my machine monsters on the field.
Ohsaka: Heh, But you already knew that.
Mechania Triple Flyer
Atk: 5400.
Cael: Heh! With that much atk, she can not only not only destroy heraklinos but win the duel!
Taka: Hmph! I'll admit she had me unconvinced Before but it looks she can win!
Bonnie: Miss ohsaka…!
We all exclaimed.
Ohsaka: You see, It poetic, Isn't it?
Neville: Huh?
ohsaka: -The way this duel is going to end. My monster is powering up and overcoming its limits to destroy yours. Its the lesson of the struggle Of nature vs machines.
Ohsaka: Your beasts can scratch, bark and slash all they want but they'll always be stuck in their basic animalistic nature. While my machines can adapt and change into whatever they want, they can gain power, do new things, transform, anything.
Ohsaka said with a glare in her eyes. She meant what she said. Her machines were the next step in our evolution.
Ohsaka: This is why machines are better than anything nature can come up with!
Ohsaka: Now attack! Mechania triple flyer! Triple Ray blast!
Ohsaka's Triple Flyer screeched loudly as its mighty wings flapped. It opened its mouth and A blue light appeared in all three of their mouths. Soon three distinct laser beams fired from their mouths and travel the length of the field. They hit neville's monster and caused a massive explosion. Heraklinos was destroyed, it was a mere ash stain on the arena floor.
Ohsaka: I'm sure you've Already guessed this, but Mechania triple flyer can attack three times!
Neville LP: 3700
Ohsaka: Though, I'll only need one more attack to finish you!
Bonnie: Wow that line was so cool!
Taka: Hmph.
Taka scoffed.
Ohsaka: Finish him off!
Ohsaka ordered one last attack. Once again, blue light appeared in their mouth, this one was larger and brighter. After a couple of seconds it fired on Neville, hitting him almost instantly. The boy of nature and of science had lost this duel.
Neville LP: 0
This duel was over. In the battle of nature vs machines, Machines had won. Perhaps this duel was analogous to our own development. How we've replaced nature with our own machines, whether it be put roads for our cars over forests, or paying attention to devices instead of our pets, we've all been replacing nature with of its poetic nature, ohsaka won and that was the only thing that mattered to me.
