bopdog111: Battle City time.
Ulrich362: True. It should be interesting.
bopdog111: What's gonna happen here?
Ulrich362: You said Espa Roba as the first duel... and it looks like the Lancers are ready to make their own move? Though I have my doubts they'll be doing much.
bopdog111: We will find out.
Ulrich362: Agreed, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Riley and Cassie were sitting and waiting for the tournament to start.
"You ready with the Monarchs?" Cassie smiled to her girlfriend.
"I'm as ready as I can be." Riley answered before frowning and looking down sadly.
"Don't worry. We'll do well together." Cassie smiled to her.
"Not that... it's why I got hurt." Riley said sadly.
"Hey come on we're over that now." Cassie smiled taking her shoulder.
"No we aren't!" Riley argued with tears. "I was hurt because I tried to abandon you!"
Cassie kissed her. Riley hugged Cassie and kissed her back just as the bells signaling the start of the tournament sounded. Cassie at that smiled, "Alright. Let's give this our best Riri!"
Riley nodded before wincing as she got up. "I'll go left... you go right?"
"I'll stay close to you until that pretty foot of your's finishes healing." Cassie told her.
"But we both have to make it to the finals." Riley pouted. "I don't want to mess it up for you."
"You won't." Cassie smiled to her.
"Ok." Riley smiled as the two of them walked into the city.
"So we each have to get Locator Cards." Cassie told her.
"Those are the rules." Riley nodded as she looked around. "I'm a little nervous though, it's my first time using those and if I lose I'm out."
"Oh I'm sure your first match won't be that tough." Cassie smiled before they see something that looks like an Android just defeated a duelist as a gray suited boy grinned.
"That... was that Jinzo?" Riley asked in shock.
"Jinzo? What's that?" Cassie asked her.
"A powerful monster, I think we should avoid him. Jinzo stops traps from working." Riley explained.
"Hey you two."
They looked over. It was the boy that had Jinzo walking over with long green hair saying, "You two are in the Battle City?"
"That's right." Cassie nodded.
"Well allow I, Espa Roba, to be your next opponent." the boy known as Espa Roba told the two.
"That's alright... we're ok for now." Riley mentioned.
"Hold on Riri, I am curious over what this Jinzo is about." Cassie admitted to her.
"Cassie..." Riley started before relenting. "Oh... ok."
"Alright, take us off Riri." Cassie grinned to her.
Riley's eyes widened. "Huh? You want me to..."
Cassie nodded with a smile. Riley looked hesitant but nodded. "Ok... after you Mr..."
"Espa Roba, young lady, the most well known Psychic their is." Espa Roba bowed to her.
Riley looked shocked before taking a breath and activating her Duel Disk. Espa Roba blinked, "That's quite a Duel Disk you have their young lady."
"Oh... it's not that special." Riley mentioned.
"Ah well." Espa Roba shrugged activating his own which is quite different then Riley's like folding.
Seeing that Riley frowned before her eyes widened in shock. 'Oh no!'
"Generating Action Field, Crossover!"
"What the?" Espa Roba looked around as the bystanders were in awe seeing what's happening.
Crossover
Action Field Spell
You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand.
Riley looked nervous. "I forfeit!"
"It's alright Riri." Cassie assured her, "It's not like Crossover will get you disqualified."
That's when Cassie realized the bigger problem, Riley can't Action Duel with a twisted ankle. She's at a massive disadvantage. She knows that but told her, "Show him what your made of Riri. You can use your monsters to get them."
Riley looked nervous before turning to Espa Roba to see if he accepted her surrender or was going to take his turn. Espa Roba looked like he didn't hear her surrender before shrugging, "Ah well, I'm a quick learner. Alright I'll be first alright?"
"Yeah." Riley nodded. "That makes sense."
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme:
Riley: 4000
Espa Roba: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Espa Roba 1st Turn:
"Alright for my first move, I'll start with this, Law of the Cosmos!" Espa Roba called as a spell appeared.
Law of the Cosmos
Normal Spell Card
Your opponent can Set 1 Trap directly from their hand or Deck to their Spell & Trap Zone, and if they do, Special Summon 1 "Jinzo" from your Deck. Otherwise, add 1 "Jinzo", or 1 monster that specifically lists that name in its text, from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Law of the Cosmos" per turn.
Riley blinked. "What's that?"
"A spell that allows you to make a choice, and that's by setting a Trap from your Deck." Espa Roba answered.
Riley frowned. "I... don't set anything."
"Well since you didn't, I can take a monster that has Jinzo in it's text, or name, and add it to my hand." Espa Roba said adding a card, "And then another spell called, In Touch with the Cosmos!"
In Touch with the Cosmos
Continuous Spell Card
You can send 1 monster you control that is owned by your opponent to the GY; Special Summon 1 Machine monster from your hand or GY. When your opponent draws for their normal draw in their Draw Phase, while you control "Jinzo": You can declare 1 card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap); reveal the card they drew, and if it is the declared type, send this card to the GY, and if you do, draw 1 card. You can only use each effect of "In Touch with the Cosmos" once per turn.
"We'll get to it in a minute." Espa Roba told her, "In the meantime I'll summon, Psycho Bounder!"
At that a yellow machine appeared ready.
Psycho Bounder
Light Type
Level 4
Machine
ATK: 1700
DEF: 1000
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Jinzo", or 1 Spell/Trap that specifically lists that name in its text, from your Deck to your hand. Before damage calculation, if another monster you control is attacked by an opponent's monster: You can destroy both the attacking monster and this card. You can only use each effect of "Psycho Bounder" once per turn.
Riley looked confused. 'I've never heard of most of these cards.'
"When summoned, I take a Jinzo, or a Spell/Trap that says Jinzo on it from my deck to my hand." Espa Roba said adding a card, "Your move now, and I'll tell ya it won't be easy."
Riley 1st Turn:
Riley drew her card before nodding. "I play... The Monarchs Stormforth!"
The Monarchs Stormforth
Quick-Play Spell Card
Once during this turn, if you would Tribute a monster for a Tribute Summon, you can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls even though you do not control it. You can only activate 1 "The Monarchs Stormforth" per turn. During the turn you activate this card, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck.
'Monarch?' Espa Roba thought in shock.
"The Monarchs Stormforth lets me sacrifice one of your monsters to summon one of mine." Riley mentioned. "I sacrifice Psycho Bounder to summon Angmari the Fiendish Monarch in attack mode."
At that a fiend royal monster appeared.
Angmarl the Fiendish Monarch
Dark Type
Level 6
Fiend
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1000
When this card is Tribute Summoned: You can banish 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard; add 1 card with the same name as the banished Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
"When Angmari is tribute summoned I can banish a spell to add another copy to my hand. I'll banish The Monarchs Stormforth and then I'll attack you directly."
The monster charged striking Espa Roba as he stepped back. (Espa Roba: 1600)
Angmarl suddenly picked up Riley. Riley shook her head while Angmarl put her back down.
"I end with a facedown card." Riley mentioned.
'She's not allowing him to help get an Action Card by moving around?' Cassie thought seeing that.
'I don't need an Action Card yet... and I'd rather not reveal them too early.' Riley thought as she watched for Espa Roba's next move.
Riley: 4000
Espa Roba: 1600
Espa Roba 2nd Turn:
"Well young lady, I didn't expect you to have Monarch Cards." Espa Roba admitted drawing.
Riley blushed slightly. "Well... it's not my normal deck, my girlfriend suggested I use them though."
"I see. You two are in union with each other. Truly a touching relationship, I must say." Espa Roba admitted to her, "But don't think that means I'll go easy."
"I didn't think you would." Riley smiled.
"Well now I'll activate this. Mind Control." Espa Roba said revealing a spell.
Mind Control
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, take control of that target, but it cannot declare an attack or be Tributed.
"In exchange for not sacrificing, or attacking with it, I take control of your Monarch." Espa Roba told her.
Riley's eyes widened in horror. "Wait but your spell!"
"Your getting the gist. In Touch with the Cosmos doesn't sacrifice. Well it does but not Tributed. It's just outright sending." Espa Roba told her.
Riley looked nervous hearing that.
"So I'll sacrifice your Monarch to summon this! Jinzo!" Espa Roba called as the same Android appeared.
Jinzo
Dark Type
Level 6
Machine
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1500
Trap Cards, and their effects on the field, cannot be activated. Negate all Trap effects on the field.
Riley's eyes widened in fear.
"Whoa. That looks tough." Cassie said in awe seeing the Android.
"Next up, I'll summon Cyber Raider." Espa Roba continued as a warrior like machine appeared.
Cyber Raider
Dark Type
Level 4
Machine
ATK: 1400
DEF: 1000
When this card is Summoned: Activate 1 of these effects.
● Target 1 Equip Card equipped to a monster on the field; destroy that target.
● Target 1 Equip Card equipped to a monster on the field; equip that target to this card.
Riley's eyes widened in fear seeing the two monsters.
"And now first Jinzo attack with Cyber Energy Shock!" Espa Roba called as Jinzo fired a pink orb.
The orb hit as Riley cried out.
"Riri!" Cassie cried seeing that. (Riley: 1600)
"Next up Cyber Raider!" Espa Roba declared as the other Machine charged.
The attack hit sending Riley flying to her back.
(Riley: 0200)
Cassie ran kneeling over her, "You alright?"
"I think so." Riley nodded before her eyes widened and she screamed.
Cassie looked over. Riley had tried to get back up only to scream when she tried putting weight on her ankle.
"Your ankle." Cassie said seeing that helping her sit up.
"Oh my. Is there something going on?" Espa Roba asked seeing that.
"It's nothing." Riley answered before trying to get up again only to cry out again before looking down. "I... I surrender, I can't continue."
(A/N (Ulrich362): If the monsters were just holograms Riley wouldn't have any problems as long as she was careful... the fact that her Duel Disk and Cassie's triggers Crossover means the monsters have physical mass so when Cyber Raider attacked her it did more than Espa Roba was expecting. Riley will heal... she just needs to stay off her leg for the duration of the tournament.)
Cassie then looked at her girlfriend's friend, "Ah man... You had Caius in your hand."
Riley nodded. "Yeah... but it's over. I lose."
Espa Roba walked over, "Well technically you won, and won both my locator card, and my rarest though with your leg bothering you, the win instead goes to me. Though I won't take your rarest card, and only your Locator Card."
Riley nodded handing him the card.
Riley: 0200 (Surrendered)
Espa Roba: 1600
Espa Roba wins the duel!
Cassie kissed her with tears, "I should've dueled instead of you."
Riley hugged her back. "It's ok."
Cassie hugged her close.
"Can... can you help me up so I can cheer for you?" Riley asked.
Cassie nodded helping her up. Riley smiled at that before turning to Espa Roba. "Sorry about that... and good luck in the tournament."
Espa Roba nodded to her, "You two. And be careful around Yugi Muto."
With that he walked off.
"Well... it's up to you now." Riley whispered.
Cassie kissed her deep. Riley blushed but returned the kiss.
Meanwhile in Standard...
Zuzu was prepared looking at her Number.
"Zuzu... its time, everyone's heading to the stadium." Skip told her.
"Be careful Dad." Zuzu told him.
Skip nodded before hugging her. "Be careful, I don't know what's waiting but promise you'll be ok."
Zuzu nodded hugging him back before walking out saying one last thing, "I love you Dad."
"I love you too Zuzu." Skip said as Zuzu walked out of the house.
She walked to the stadium where everyone is waiting.
"Are you prepared Zuzu?" Declan asked her.
"As ready as I'll ever be to find Cass, and Riley." Zuzu said to him.
Declan nodded at that. "Alright, then take this. We're heading to the Synchro Dimension."
Zuzu was handed a card as she looked before nodding, "I'm ready."
Declan nodded before turning to the others who all nodded as they activated the cards.
bopdog111: Well that didn't start off as intended for Cass, and Riley.
Ulrich362: True, then again... well let's just say things will eventually take a turn for the better... and possibly much better in the far future.
bopdog111: If it's like the regular Battle City they should watch their backs against the Rare Hunters.
Ulrich362: True, then again they're probably after Yugi and the Egyptian God Cards so Cassie should be safe. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
