Chapter 20: chapter 20
(Music end)
"Not bad Rin, but your Piercing Bell is not match for Timestar Magician! Attack!" Yuya commanded, pointing his left hand's index finger towards Piercing Bell. Timestar Magician pointed his staff towards Piercing Bell, before a magical portal appeared in front of the tip of it. Timestar Magician unleashed a blue blast from the portal at Piercing Bell, destroying the Synchro Monster and making Rin wince. (2400 - 2300 = 100)
Rin Life Points: 4000 - 100 = 3900.
Strangely enough, Rin gave her friend an appreciated smile. "Thank you very much. Because you destroyed Piercing Bell, her second special ability activates". The Witch of the Wind said as a blue portal appeared on her right side. "When Piercing Bell is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, one of your face-up monsters loses 2000 ATK Points!" Rin explained her monster's special ability as a barrage of icicles shot out of the portal. "Have you forgotten Star Pendulumgraph's effect? As long as it remains face-up on the field, Spellcasters I control cannot be targeted by Spells, or card effects". Yuya reminded the Synchro Duelist, getting her to grin at him.
"That's true, but your Performapal Longphone Bull is still an option!" Rin pointed out as she pointed towards Longphone Bull, getting Yuya to widen his eyes in realization. The icicles all flew around Longphone Bull in a circle, before stabbing the ground around him, surrounding the Beast-Type monster and getting it to look down in surprise.
Performapal Longphone Bull ATK Points: 1600 - 2000 = 0.
"That isn't good for Yuya. With his monster's ATK Points at 0, he can't attack Rin directly". Serenity commented as the the blue portal besides Rin disappeared. Yuya lightly frown, before he looked down at his hand and picked up a single card. "I'll set a face-down card and end my turn!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist declared his turn over as he slotted the card into his Duel Disk. A face-down card appeared in front of Yuya, before he took off running in search for Action cards with Timestar Magician and Longphone Bull floating after him, followed by his Pendulum Monsters in the blue pillars.
Rin Life Points: 3900/ Number of cards in hand: 3.
Zuzu watched with her breath held, the intensity of the duel getting to her even though it was Rin's second turn. Deciding to get her mind off the intense duel, she turned to look at Serenity, who was watching the duel closely. "Serenity, where were you earlier? You weren't here when the duel started". Zuzu asked her friend, getting Serenity to look down at her for a moment, before she went back to watching the duel. "I had something important to think about and I needed to be alone. It's taken care of, I'll tell you about it later". The teenage girl told the younger female, getting Zuzu to tilt her head in confusion, before she went back to watching the duel as well.
Rin watched Yuya run and search for an Action card without moving an inch, before she placed her right hand on the top card of her deck. "My turn now! I draw!" The Witch of the Wind called out as she drew her card with her right hand's thumb, index and middle fingers, before holding the card in front of herself. Rin then held her right hand out towards her face-down card, keeping a hold of her card. "I activate the Trap card, Icy Breath Refrain!" Rin called out as her face-down card flipped itself over, before it started glowing.
"This card has two effects, but I'll go with option number 1. A Windwitch in my Graveyard is Summoned back to the field in DEF Position. Come on back, Piercing Bell!" Rin called out as a blizzard appeared and came together, forming a sphere besides her. The blizzard soon cleared to reveal Windwitch - Piercing Bell riding atop her ice broom with her arms crossed.
Windwitch - Piercing Bell DEF Points: 2000/ ATK Points: 2000 + 300 = 2300/ Level: 6.
"But she won't be here for long. First, I'll Summon Windwitch - Hailing Diamond!" Rin called out, picking up a card and placing it on her Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared, before the smaller version of Winter Bell flew out of it and flew besides Piercing Bell.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond ATK Points: 800 + 300 = 1100/ Level: 4.
"Hailing Diamond's special ability activates! So long as this card remains on the field, all WIND Attribute monsters gains 800 ATK Points!" Rin revealed to her opponent as a green aura surrounded both Hailing Diamond and Piercing Bell, powering them up.
Windwitch Piercing Bell ATK Points: 2300 + 800 = 3100.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond ATK Points: 1100 + 800 = 1900.
"Since I control 2 Windwitch monsters, I can Special Summon Windwitch - Snow Bell from my hand!" Rin told her opponent as she held up a monster card, before swiping it onto her Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared, before a white snow ornament appeared from within it.
Windwitch - Snow Bell ATK Points: 100 + 300 = 400 + 800 = 1200/ Level: 1.
"Magical Forest's effect activates once more! Now I get to add a Level 1 Windwitch monster from my deck to the hand!" Rin stated as her deck shuffled, before stopping with a single card slotted out. Rin picked the card up with her right hand's middle and index finger. "I select the Level 1 Windwitch - Snow Angel Bell to my hand!" Rin declared her choice, revealing the card to be a Monster card with the image showing a female adult angel. She had long emerald long hair, silver eyes and pale skin. On her back were silvery white angel wings with white feathers. Angel Bell wore a white priestess outfit, white nail polish on her hands and was bare footed.
(Windwitch – Snow Angel Bell Level: 1/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Spellcaster/ Effect/ ATK Points: 100/ DEF Points: 100/ Effect: (Quick Effect) You can discard this card, target one "Windwitch" monster on the field, then gain 300 Life Points x its Level.)
Rin added the card to her hand, before holding her right hand up into the air. "Level 1 Snow Bell Tunes with Level 6 Piercing Bell!" The Witch of the Wind called out as Piercing Bell flew into the air, while Snow Bell transformed into a green ring that chased after the Synchro Monster. The single green ring circled around Windwitch - Piercing Bell, scanning her with the Spellcaster-Type Monster turning orange transparent. "I'm Summoning a Monster that will hit you with all the power of a wicked wintertime blizzard! I Synchro Summon Windwitch - Winter Bell!" Rin chanted as Piercing Bell's body dispersed to reveal 6 bright stars that lined up in the green rings, before a beam appeared and consumed them all. Her ace monster, Windwitch - Winter Bell flew out of the beam and gave out a cry as she floated in the air.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2400 + 300 = 2700 + 800 = 3500/ Level: 7.
Allie and Gong's faces lit up upon seeing Rin's ace monster take the field. "Alright, it's Rin's ace monster!" Allie exclaimed in excitement, getting Yusei to turn towards her. "Yuya's in trouble!" Frederick remarked in concern for the Odd-Eyes Duelist. "It'll take more than Winter Bell to beat Yuya. He's still got some tricks up his sleeves!" Gong exclaimed strongly as he produced anime flames around himself, getting everyone to sweat drop at him.
Rin jumped onto Winter Bell's back blade, before the Synchro Monster took off after the Odd-Eyes Duelist with Hailing Diamond floating after her. "Before I get to attacking, I activate Synchro Transmission's effect from the Graveyard. By banishing this card from the Graveyard, I can return Piercing Bell to my Extra Deck, and then draw a card". The Witch of the Wind explained her Trap card's effect as her Duel Disk's graveyard zone released a bright shine, before Windwitch - Piercing Bell's card slotted out of it. She picked the card up while her Extra Deck opened, before she placed the card inside of it. The Extra Deck closed, before Rin moved her right hand to her deck and drew the top card.
Rin looked at the card, and then she added it to her hand. She then looked forward, before she held her right hand out. "Winter Bell, attack Timestar Magician!" Rin commanded her ace monster, causing the Synchro Monster turn towards the Xyz Monster that was floating behind Yuya, before the Odd-Eyes Duelist looked over his left shoulder to look at his opponent. "Think again! I activate the Trap, Performapal Show Down!" Yuya called out, before his face-down appeared besides him and flipped up, facing Rin and her monsters. "This Trap targets monsters you control and switch them to face-down Defense Position up to the number of face-up Spell cards I control!" The Dueltainer explained his Trap card's effect, getting Rin to raise an eyebrow at him.
"So, since you have one face-up Spell card on your field, that means you'll switch Winter Bell to DEF Mode, right?" Rin questioned her friend, getting him to grin at her. "Not exactly. See, Pendulum Monster when in the Pendulum Zone, counts as Spell cards as well". Yuya revealed to her opponent, getting almost everyone to widen their eyes in shock, except Yusei and Serenity. "Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zone counts as Spell cards? No way". Zuzu whispered in disbelief as she placed her hands on the window. "Incredible". Skip whispered in awe, pressing his face against the window.
"So, instead of just Winter Bell, Hailing Diamond is forced into face-down DEF Mode as well!" Yuya told his opponent as his Trap card fired two beams at Winter Bell and Hailing Diamond. Rin leaped off of Winter Bell's blade, right before the two beams struck the two Windwitch monsters, causing them to transform into shadowy caged monsters with red eyes. Rin landed right at a tree branch, right next to the trunk. She gave Yuya a grin as he stopped running and turned to look up at her with his monsters following his lead. "Not bad". The Witch of the Wind complimented, before she looked at the trunk of the tree and saw an Action card stuck to it.
Rin took hold of the card and pulled it out of the trunk, before she turned it over to see what it was. She gave a grin, before she added the card to her hand and took hold of another card. "I'll play a face-down card and end my turn here!" Rin called out as she slotted the card into her Duel Disk. A face-down card appeared in front of her, before the two shadowy caged creatures floated in front of her.
Yuya Life Points: 3400/ Number of cards in hand: 3.
"My turn! Draw!" The Dueltainer called out as he drew his card, before looking at it. Yuya then swiped his right hand up into the air, still holding his card. "Swing far, pendulum! Carve the arc of victory! My monsters are ready, to swing into action!" The Dueltainer called out as the giant pendant created a portal from the circle that it was drawing, before a single light shot out of it. "You're up, Timebreaker Magician!" Yuya exclaimed as the light cleared to reveal Timebreaker Magician, who took a stance with his sword.
Timebreaker Magician ATK Points: 1400/ Level: 3.
Everyone grew slightly confused by Yuya just Pendulum Summoning one monster. "What's the big idea just Pendulum Summoning one monster?" Rin questioned her opponent as she sat down on the tree branch and kicked her legs out. Yuya gave a grin, before holding his right hand out towards Timebreaker Magician. "It was to activate my magician's special ability! When this card is Pendulum Summoned by itself from the hand, its ATK Points double!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist explained his Pendulum Monster's effect. Timebreaker Magician held up his sword as a purple aura surrounded himself.
Timebreaker Magician ATK Points: 1400 + 1400 = 2800.
Rin gave a laugh upon seeing this. "It's true what they say. Never judge a book by its cover". The Witch of the Wind remarked, getting Yuya to laugh, before holding his right hand out. "There's more where that came from. "I activate Timestar Magician's ability!" Yuya declared as the Xyz Monster held up his staff, before he absorbed his last overlay unit into it. "By using an Overlay Unit, I can add a DARK Spellcaster monster from my deck, Graveyard or face-up from my Extra Deck to my hand!" He explained his monster's effect as his deck shuffled, before a card slotted out. Yuya picked the card up with his right hand's index and middle fingers, before showing it to Rin, revealing it to be Timegazer Magician. "Timegazer Magician is joining the show!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist declared his choice, before adding the card to his hands.
Timestar Magician Overlay units: 1 - 1 = 0.
"But his performance will have to wait. I Summon Performapal Silver Claw!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist called out, taking a card from his hand and placing it on his Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared besides him, before Silver Claw came out of it and howled.
Performapal Silver Claw ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
"Before I get to attacking, I have one last card to play before that. The Equip Spell, Determine Shield!" Yuya called out as he held the Spell card out with his right hand's index and middle fingers, before the card released an orange light. An orange bright light appeared on Timebreaker Magician's left forearm, before it died down to reveal the orange shield attached to his arm. "This Equip Spell not only gives him 300 extra ATK Points, but the power to deal piercing damage". The teenage boy explained his Spell card's effect as Timebreaker Magician powered up.
Timebreaker Magician ATK Points: 2800 + 300 = 3100.
"Alright! With Determine Shield's effect, Yuya can win this duel!" Zuzu exclaimed in delight as the crowd of children cheered for the Dueltainer. Serenity turned her head left and looked down at Zuzu. "Don't count Rin out just yet". The 16-year-old told the Fairy-Type Duelist, before she went back to watching the duel. Yuya jumped onto Silver Claw's back, before the Beast-Type monster took off. "Time to brawl! Timebreaker Magician, attack!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist commanded his Pendulum Monster. Timebreaker Magician cried out as he took hold of his sword with both hands, before he leaped into the air, holding the sword over his head. The shadowy caged monster on the right disappeared as a face-down card in sideways position appeared right where it was. The face-down card flipped over to reveal it to be Windwitch - Hailing Diamond's card, before it gleamed with the Spellcaster-Type monster rising up from within the glow.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond DEF Points: 800/ ATK Points: 800 + 300 = 1100 + 8000 = 1900/ Level: 4.
Timebreaker Magician fell towards and sliced his sword down on Hailing Diamond, slicing her into two. The Spellcaster-Type monster exploded, causing Rin to wince and flinch from the shockwaves created from the explosion. (3100 - 800 = 2300)
Rin Life Points: 3900 - 2300 = 1600.
"Don't think you're out of the frying pan just yet! When a monster equipped to Determine Shield destroys an opponent's monster, it can attack again!" Yuya explained his Equip Spell's second effect as Timebreaker Magician turned to look at the second shadowy caged monster. The creature disappeared as a face-down monster in sideways position appeared right where it was. The face-down card flipped over to reveal it to be Windwitch - Winter Bell's card, before it gleamed with the Spellcaster-Type monster rising up from within the glow.
Windwitch - Winter Bell DEF Points: 2000/ ATK Points: 2400 + 300 = 2700/ Level: 7.
"Before you get too ahead of yourself, I'll play the Action Spell that I picked up earlier. The Action Spell, Miracle!" Rin called out as she slotted her Action card into her Duel Disk, before a larger version of the card appeared in front of her over the tree branch. "Miracle protects Winter Bell from destruction and cuts the damage in half". She explained the Spell card's effect as Timebreaker Magician swung his sword at Winter Bell, who swung her right blade at him. Both monsters' blades clashed together, creating a shockwave with one another, before they broke their struggle and backed away. (3100 - 2000 = 1100 - 550 = 550)
Rin Life Points: 1600 - 550 = 1050.
Yuya gave a scoff, before he looked forward and widened his eyes. Up ahead, he saw an Action card stuck to the trunk of a tree up ahead. "An Action card!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist exclaimed in delight, before Silver Claw ran faster than before. Yuya grabbed the card with his right hand as Silver Claw ran pass it. The teenage boy looked at what Action card he got, before he grew a massive grin at what it was. "Sweet! I play the Action Spell, Wonder Chance!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist called out, holding up the Action Spell as the card released a white light. "This card grants Timebreaker Magician another attack!" He explained the card's effect as he sent it to the Graveyard Zone of his Duel Disk.
Zuzu's smile grew larger upon hearing this. "Alright. With this, Yuya wins!" She exclaimed in joy for her childhood friend, believing that victory was his now. In the control room, Allie grew a little worried upon seeing Yuya about to obtain victory. "Oh no. If this attack goes through, Rin will lose". She said in concern for her fellow Synchro user, getting Lulu to look down and smile at her. "Don't worry about Rin. She still has a chance". The Mistress of Birds reassured her friend, getting Allie to look up at her for a moment, before going back to watching the duel.
"Timebreaker Magician, attack Windwitch - Winter Bell again!" Yuya commanded his Pendulum Monster, making Timebreaker Magician cry out as he leaped into the air above Winter Bell, holding his sword over his head. Rin didn't look threatened however, in fact, she had a grin on her face. "This is just the moment I've been waiting for!" The Witch of the Wind exclaimed, before thrusting her right hand forward. "I play the Trap card, Windwitch Family Huddle Up!" She called out as her face-down card appeared in front of her, before flipping itself up. The card's image showed Windwitch - Freeze Bell, Ice Bell and Glass Bell in a group hug with Goyo Guarding closing in to attack them.
(Windwitch Family Huddle Up/ Type: Trap/ Effect: If a face-up DEF Position "Windwitch" monster you control is targeted for an attack, select two different "Windwitch" monsters in your graveyard and Special Summoned them to your field in DEF Position. All face-up "Windwitch" monsters gains DEF equal to all other "Windwitch" monsters' DEF until the End Phase.)
"Not good!" Yuya stated with wide eyes of surprise, getting Rin to laugh. "You can say that again, my tomato hair friend. When a face-up DEF Position "Windwitch" monsters I control is targeted for an attack, this Trap allows me to Special Summon 2 different Windwitches from my Graveyard". The teenage girl explained her Trap card's effect, holding her left arm up up, before her Duel Disk's Graveyard Zone released a bright flash.
Both Windwitch - Hailing Diamond and Glass Bell's cards slotted out of the Duel Disk, before Rin picked them up and held the two cards up. "I select Windwitch - Hailing Diamond and Windwitch - Glass Bell!" Rin declared her choice, before swiping the two cards on her Duel Disk's blade in side-way positions. Two portals appeared, before Hailing Diamond and Glass Bell flew out of them.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond DEF Points: 800/ ATK Points: 800 + 300 = 1100 + 8000 = 1900/ Level: 4.
Windwitch - Glass Bell DEF Points: 1500/ ATK Points: 1500 + 300 = 1800 + 800 = 2600/ Level: 4.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2700 + 800 = 3500.
"And here comes the best part! Until the End Phase of this turn, all my Windwitch monsters gains DEF Points equal to all of my other witches!" The Witch of the Wind added as her three monsters powered up.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond DEF Points: 800 + 1500 = 2300 + 2000 = 4300.
Windwitch - Glass Bell DEF Points: 1500 + 800 = 2300 + 2000 = 4300.
Windwitch - Winter Bell DEF Points: 2000 + 800 = 2800 + 1500 = 4300.
"Whoa! They all have 4300 DEF Points!" A young female exclaimed in shock from the audience, staring at the three Windwitch monsters in awe. The other children started at the three monsters in awe as well upon seeing the high DEF Points, while Zuzu snapped her right hand's fingers. "I could use Glass Bell and Magicial Forest's effects, but that won't be necessary". Rin said with a small smile as she placed her right leg over her left leg. Yuya narrowed his eyes, before he looked up towards the air-born Timebreaker Magician falling towards Winter Bell. "Timebreaker, stop your attack!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist called out to his monster, getting Timebreaker to widen his eyes, before he leaped away, abandoning his attack.
Yuya slightly gritted his teeth as Silver Claw continued to run across the forest with the rest of his monsters and Pendulum Monsters following his lead. "I'll throw a face-down..." Yuya began as he slotted a card into his Duel Disk, before a face-down card appeared besides him on his right. "Then switch Longphone Bull to DEF Mode to end my turn". He declared his turn over as Longphone Bull took a defensive stance.
Performapal DEF Points: 1200.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamon DEF Points: 4300 - 1500 = 2800 - 2000 = 800.
Windwitch - Glass Bell DEF Points: 4300 - 800 = 3500 - 2000 = 1500.
Windwitch - Winter Bell DEF Points: 4300 - 800 = 3500 - 1500 = 2000.
Rin Life Points: 1050/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
Winter Bell flew in front of Rin with her back blade right underneath her duelist, which the Witch of the Wind jumped off of the tree branch and landed on the blade. With her passenger on board, Winter Bell flew after Yuya and his monsters, closely followed by her fellow Windwitches. "So close to winning on one single turn, yet so far away now. You had your chance to mess around with me, and now's it time to pay in full, so I'm gonna take you down piece by piece". Rin said as she placed her right hand on her Duel Disk's deck and drew the card in a less dramatic fashion, before turning her head right to look at it.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh The Fang of Critias Theme Japanese version)
"So let the torment begin with this! The torrential magic of Mystical Space Typhoon!" Rin exclaimed with narrowed eyes, turning the card over to reveal the Spell card, before a typhoon came out of it, creating powerful winds that forced Yuya to protect his eyes with his right forearm. "This Spell destroys your Star Pendulumgraph Spell!" She explained her Spell card's effect as Star Pendulumgraph's card shattered into sparkles, making Yuya grit his teeth. "With your Spell gone, your Spellcasters are open to my Spells and Monster effects". The Witch of the Wind stated as she discarded her Spell card to her Graveyard Zone, before a blizzard storm came out of that zone of her Duel Disk.
"I now play Windwitch - Renew Caster's special ability from the Graveyard!" She declared, getting Yuya to widen his eyes in surprise once more. "Another effect from the Graveyard!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist called out in surprise, which Rin nodded to him as she held her hands out as if she was riding a surf board. "That's right. Just like with Synchro Transmission, I remove this card from play..." She began as she took Renew Caster's card and placed it away in her jacket's pocket.
"Then I select a monster on the field that's ATK Points are different to its original, and return them back to normal". She concluded, getting Yuya to widen his eyes in alarm as he looked at Timebreaker Magician. "Looks like you got a good idea on who's the unlucky target. Sorry Timebreaker, but say good-bye to your extra ATK Points". Rin said as the blizzard storm surrounded Timebreaker Magician like a cocoon. After a few moments, the blizzard storm died down to reveal Timebreaker Magician completely shivering, hugging himself even with his sword still in hand.
Timebreaker Magician ATK Points: 3100 - 1700 = 1400.
"Oh boy. That's not good for Yuya". Skip remarked with slightly wide eyes, realizing that Yuya was in trouble now. Serenity gave a small smile at seeing the tables turn around, taking note that a duel was never over until the last card was played. Rin gave a wink with her right eye, before holding her right hand out. "I'll switch my three witches into ATK Mode..." She began as Hailing Diamond, Glass Bell and Winter Bell broke out of their defensive stances and freely flew through the air.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond ATK Points: 1900.
Windwitch - Glass Bell ATK Points: 2600.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 3500.
"Let them have it! First, Glass Bell attacks Timestar Magician!" Rin commanded, pointing towards the Xyz Monster with her right hand's index finger. Glass Bell cried out happily as her whole body gleamed icy blue, before she charged forward and tackled Timestar Magician, causing the Xyz Monster to shatter. (2600 - 2400 = 200)
Yuya Life Points: 3400 - 200 = 3200.
"Next up, Hailing Frost, ice that wolf!" Rin further commanded as she now pointed towards Silver Claw. Hailing Frost gave a cry, before generating and firing icicles at Silver Claw. Yuya leaped off of his monster's back and into the air, right before the icicles struck the Beast-Type monster and created a mini explosion. (1900 - 1800 = 100)
Yuya Life Points: 3200 - 100 = 3100.
Yuya back flipped in mid-air, before he landed on the ground and slide against it for a moment, eventually stopping. "And now the best part of my turn! Windwitch - Winter Bell, attack Timebreaker Magician!" Rin command her ace monster with an excited voice. The Synchro Monster obeyed her duelist, before generating and firing icicles at the Pendulum Monster, creating an explosion upon impact. The force of the explosion sent Yuya sliding across the ground a bit, before he stopped and dropped to his right knee. (3500 - 1400 = 2100)
Yuya Life Points: 3100 - 2100 = 1000.
Windwitch - Winter Bell, Hailing Diamond and Glass Bell all stopped in front of Yuya and floated above him as Longphone Bull, Guitartle and Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer backed him up. "How the tables turn. Now, all you got left defending you is Performapal Longphone Bull". Rin said with a smirk on her face, getting Yuya to tilt his head up and smirked at her. "Not exactly". The Odd-Eyes Duelist replied as he stood up fully on his feet, getting Rin to raise an eyebrow at him. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Illusion Balloons!" Yuya called out, thrusting his right hand out as his face-down card appeared besides him, before flipping itself up.
"For every one of my monsters that were destroyed, I draw a card from my deck. Then I can Special Summon the highest Level Performapal Monster I drew and return the rest to my deck". Yuya explained his Spell card's effect, before he held up his right hand towards his deck, ready to draw. "Since 3 monsters I controlled were destroyed, I can draw 3 cards". He told his opponent, getting Rin to raise an eyebrow. 'So, he's now resorting to luck, just like how Yugo would sometimes'. Rin thought to herself, before growing a small sad smile upon thinking of her close friend. Yuya drew his top 3 cards and swiped his right hand out to the side. He looked through the corner of his right eye and flipped the cards over to see what they were.
The three cards were Performapal Kuribohble, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and Performapal Whip Snake. Yuya grew a smile upon seeing the third card, much like when Yusei when he drew the card that he needed. "Just what I needed". The teenager stated, before he held up Whip Snake's card with his thumb, index and middle fingers, while he held the other two cards down with his ring and pinky fingers. "I Summon the Level 4 Performapal Whip Snake!" Yuya called out, before slamming the card onto his Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared on the ground, before Whip Snake floated out of it and cried out in greeting.
Performapal Whip Snake ATK Points: 1700/ Level: 4.
Rin gave a whistle as Yuya returned the two cards to his deck, before it started shuffling. "Not bad. Looks like you're pretty lucky yourself. I got nothing left to do, so I'll end my turn". The Witch of the Wind declared her turn over, before Winter Bell flew onward with Hailing Diamond and Glass Bell chasing after her.
(Music end)
Yuya Life Points: 1000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"My turn now! I draw!" Yuya called out as he placed his hand on his deck, before he drew the top card of his deck and looked at it. Yuya then thrust his right hand into the air, holding the card with his right hand. "Swing far, pendulum! Carve the arc of victory! My monsters are ready, to swing into action!" The Dueltainer called out as the giant pendant created a portal from the circle that it was drawing, before 3 lights shot out of it. "From my Extra Deck, Performapal Silver Claw and Timebreaker Magician...!" He began as two of the lights cleared to reveal Silver Claw and Timebreaker Magician in defensive stances. "...And from my hand, Timegazer Magician!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist added as the second light cleared to reveal Timegazer Magician in a defensive stance as well.
Timegazer Magician DEF Points: 600/ Level: 3.
Timebreaker Magician ATK Points: 0/ Level: 3.
Performapal Silver Claw DEF Points: 700/ Level: 4.
All the kids watching the duel gave out excited cries upon seeing this move, including Frederick. "Yay, he Pendulum Summoned again!" The young boy called out in joy, while Allie frowned in concern. "But they're all in DEF Mode". She pointed out, getting Yusei to turn towards her, keeping his arms crossed. "That may be true, but look at their Levels". Satellite's Shooting Star told the young girl, getting Allie to look at him in confusion for a moment, before she looked back at the field. She looked at Yuya's monsters closely, and widened them eyes in realization. "Yuya's monsters are all Level 4 and 3!" Allie exclaimed in realization, getting Lulu to nod down at her, while Gong had his arms crossed.
Yuya added his new card to his hand, before swiping his right hand into the air. "I Overlay Level 4 Performapal Longphone Bull, Silver Claw and Whip Snake!" The Dueltainer declared as his three monsters turned into bright lights, their colours representing their attributes, before they all ascended into the air. They danced in the sky as a black portal appeared on the ground in front of Yuya. "With these three monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Yuya exclaimed as the three lights all descended into the portal, causing an explosion of energy.

"Appear! Rank 4! Performapal Barrel Gator!" Yuya called out to the heavens as the new monster jumped out of the portal and landed in the middle of the field. It was a green skinned anthro gator wearing a weight-lifters red unitard with a thick black belt at the waist, lugging a huge barrel over his right shoulder akin to Donkey Kong. He's also got small wooden barrel gauntlets around his forearms. And for the final touch, he's also got a pair of star shaped shades. There were three blue overlay units circling around the gator as it let out a howl, revealing its sharp teeth.
(Performapal Barrel Gator/ Rank: 4/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Beast-Warrior/ Xyz/ Effect/ ATK Points: 2800/ DEF Points: 2400/ Requirements: 3 Level 4 monsters/ Effect: Once per turn, you can detach one Xyz Material from this card, then all monsters gains a 'Barrel Counter'. For each 'Barrel Counter' on the field, all monsters your opponent controls loses 200 ATK Points.)
"Not bad, but I'm not really that intimidated". Rin told her opponent, getting him to grin at her. "You will be in a moment. I activate Barrel Gator's special ability!" Yuya called out, swiping his right hand out to the side. Barrel Gator absorbed an overlay unit into its barrel, before chucking the barrel into the air. Once high in the air, the barrel split apart and caused a bright flash that forced everyone to cover their eyes. Once the light died down, everyone opened their eyes, before they all widened them in surprise.
All the monsters on the field were trapped inside different sized barrels, except for Barrel Gator, who was carrying a new a new barrel over his shoulder. Rin's monsters remained floating with Winter Bell and Hailing Diamond's blades sticking out of it. Timegazer Magician, Timebreaker Magician and Glass Bell's heads were sticking out of their barrel's top and they all had wide eyes. "Hey! What's the big idea?!" Rin questioned as she back flipped off of Winter' Bell's back blade and landed on the ground. "Barrel Gator's effect, that's what! By using an Overlay Unit, all monsters on the field gains a Barrel Counter!" Yuya told his opponent, explaining his Xyz Monster's effect to her.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond counters: 0 + 1 = 1.
Windwitch - Glass Bell counters: 0 + 1 = 1.
Windwitch - Winter Bell counters: 0 + 1 = 1.
Timebreaker Magician counters: 0 + 1 = 1.
Timegazer Magician counters: 0 + 1 = 1.
Performapal Barrel Gator counters: 0 + 1 = 1.
"And here's the best part. For every counter on the field, all your monsters loses 200 ATK Points!" Yuya called out, getting Rin to widen her eyes in surprise, before she narrowed them. "There's a total of six counters. Times that by 200 and the total is 1200 points". Rin calculated as her monsters powered down.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond ATK Points: 1900 - 1200 = 700.
Windwitch - Glass Bell ATK Points: 2600 - 1200 = 1400.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 3500 - 1200 = 2300.
"Way to go! Now Yuya can win this duel just by attacking Hailing Diamond!" Zuzu exclaimed in delight, getting Rin to smirk as she had heard her. "Not just yet!" The Witch of the Wind remarked, before taking a single card from her hand and held it up, revealing it to be Windwitch - Snow Angel Bell. "I play my Snow Angel Bell's effect! By discarding this card..." She began to explain as she discarded her card to the Graveyard Zone, before an icy blue aura surrounded both her and Winter Bell. "I can select one Windwitch monster I control, like Winter Bell, and gain 300 Life Points times its Level! And since my ace is Level 7, that's 2100 points!" Rin explained her card's effect as Winter Bell's aura transferred over to hers, increasing Rin's Life Points.
Rin Life Points: 1050 + 2100 = 3150.
"Well drat". Yuya said with slightly wide eyes, before he looked down at his Extra Deck was inside of his Duel Disk. 'I could Xyz Summon Traveling Ghost Bat to deal more attacks and damage, but that would get rid of 2 counters and restore 400 points to her monsters. The total damage of just attacking with Barrel Gator will be 2100 if I attack Hailing Diamond. But attacking both Hailing Diamond and Glass Bell will be 2600. Guess I know which option to take'. Yuya thought with a growing smirk, before holding his right hand out. "Here comes a second Xyz Summon! I overlay both Timegazer Magician and Timebreaker Magician The Dueltainer declared as his two monsters transformed into two purple lights, before they ascended into the air.
Another black portal appeared in the sky above with the two lights flying inside of it, causing an explosion of energy. "I Xyz Summon! Rank 3! Performapal Traveling Ghost Bat!" Yuya called out to the heavens as Traveling Ghost Bat flew out of the portal with 2 purple overlay units circling around it.
Performapal Traveling Ghost Bat ATK Points: 2100/ Rank: 3/ Overlay units: 2.
Windwitch - Hailing Diamond ATK Points: 700 + 400 = 1100.
Windwitch - Glass Bell ATK Points: 1400 + 400 = 1800.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2300 + 400 = 2700.
"Time to brawl! Barrel Gator, take a chump out of Hailing Diamond!" Yuya commanded his monster, pointing towards Hailing Diamond with his right hand's index finger. Barrel Gator gave out a roar, before he charged forward and tore through Hailing Diamond and her barrel, causing the Spellcaster Monster to explode and push Rin back a few feet. (2800 - 1100 = 1700)
Rin Life Points: 3150 - 1700 = 1450.
Windwitch - Glass Bell ATK Points: 1800 + 200 = 2000 - 800 = 1200.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2700 + 200 = 2900 - 800 = 2100.
"There goes Hailing Diamond's powering up effect". Rin remarked with narrowed eyes, while Yuya had a confident smirk on his face. "I'm not finished just yet. Traveling Ghost Bat, attack Windwitch Glass Bell!" Yuya commanded his second Xyz Monster. Traveling Ghost Bat gave out a cry, before it glowed black and multiplied into thousands of little versions of itself. The swarm of ghost bats all flew down towards Glass Bell and covered her completely for a few moments, before an explosion appeared from within, pushing Rin across the ground further. (2100 - 1200 = 900)
Rin Life Points: 1450 - 900 = 550.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2100 + 200 = 2300.
"I've done a lot for this turn, I think it is only fair that I end my turn here. But before that, I'll set 2 face-down cards". Yuya said as he held up the last two cards in his hand, before slotting them into his Duel Disk. 2 face-down card appeared in front of Yuya, before he turned around and began running off with his two Xyz Monsters chasing after him.
(Music end)
Rin Life Points: 550/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"I'm not out of this duel just yet. I draw!" Rin called out as she drew her card and looked at it. She slightly widen her eyes upon seeing the card, before she narrowed them and held the card out. "I play the Spell card De-Synchro!" The Witch of the Wind called out, before slotting it into her Duel Didsk, getting Yuya to blink in confusion as he continued to run.
"Interesting move". Yusei commented, getting Allie and Frederick to look at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" The red haired girl asked the Synchro Duelist, getting Gong to look towards her. "De-Synchro is a card that returns a Synchro Monster to its owner's Extra Deck, then Special Summons the monsters used to Synchro Summon it back to the field". Gong explained for Yuya, getting Frederick to tilt his head in confusion. "So, Rin will get 2 new monsters?" The young child questioned, making Yusei shook his head sideways as he unfolded his arms. "That's where you're wrong. The user needs all the Synchro Materials in the Graveyard for that to work. Rin returned Piercing Bell back to her Extra Deck earlier, meaning she can't Summon anything from the Graveyard". Yusei told him as Windwitch - Winter Bell disappeared from the field and Rin returned her ace monster's card to the Extra Deck.
"So, then why play the card?" Allie questioned in a confused voice, getting Lulu to smile down at her as she placed her hands on Allie's shoulders. "There are two reasons. One was to remove a Barrel counter on the field, leaving just one left. The second was to leave her field empty". Lulu explained to the younger girl, getting Allie to look up at her in confusion. "But why leave her field empty?" She questioned, getting Lulu to place her right hand on Allie's head and stroke her hair. "It was for her only card in her hand". The Mistress of Birds answered, before both she and Allie turned back towards the duel.
"Since my field is now empty, I can now Special Summon the Windwitch - Black Ice Bell from my hand!" Rin called out as she took the last card in her hand and placed it on her Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared besides her, before Windwitch - Black Ice Bell flew out of it atop her broom.
Windwitch - Black Ice Bell ATK Points: 1300 - 200 = 1100 + 300 = 1400/ Level: 3.
"Then you take 500 points of damage!" Rin added as Black Ice Bell fired a black ice beam from her wand towards the running Yuya, who jumped to the left to dodge.
Yuya Life Points: 1000 - 500 = 500.
Yuya landed in a frontal roll, before stopping on his right knee and looked towards his opponent. "Now I play Magical Forest's ability! Since I Special Summon Black Ice Bell, I can add another Windwitch that is Level 3!" Rin exclaimed as her deck started shuffling for a moment, before suddenly stopping with a single card slotted out. Rin picked the card up with her right hand's index and middle fingers, before she held it up and showed that it was Windwitch - Ice Bell. "I choose Ice Bell, and then play her!" She called out, before placing the card on her Duel Disk's blade. Another portal appeared besides her, before Windwitch - Ice Bell flew out of it with a smile.
Windwitch - Ice Bell ATK Points: 1000 - 200 = 800 + 300 = 1100/ Level: 3.
"Oh boy". Yuya said with slightly narrowed eyes, knowing full well what Ice Bell can do. "I activate Ice Bell's ability! Once a turn if she was Normal, or Special Summoned, you take 500 points of damage!" Rin called out as she held her right hand out towards Yuya. Ice Bell turned to look at her duelist's opponent, before holding her wand out and fired an icy blue beam towards Yuya. "Watch out Yuya!" Zuzu called out in concern as she and the rest of the children looked worried for the Dueltainer. "I activate the Trap card, Damage Polarizer!" Yuya called out as he thrust his right hand out towards Rin, before one of his face-down cards flipped itself up.
"When an effect that would deal me damage is activated, this Trap reduces the damage to 0...!" Yuya explained his Trap card's effect as a white barrier formed around himself. The ice beam struck the barrier, but soon died down, leaving Yuya unharmed. "Then, we both draw a card". He finished, before both he and Rin drew the top cards of their decks. They both looked at their new cards, before adding them to their empty hands.
"Guess I'll have to go with option number 2 then. First, I play Black Ice Bell's special ability! Once a turn, she cuts your monster's ATK and DEF Points in half!" Rin called out, before she reared her right hand in, then swiped it out and pointed towards Traveling Ghost Bat. "Kiss good-bye to half of your bat's ATK and DEF Points!" She exclaimed as Black Ice Bell pointed her wand towards Traveling Ghost Bat, before unleashing a black icy beam at it. The beam struck, but did no harm to the Xyz Monster, instead began slowly encasing it in ice.
Performapal Traveling Ghost Bat ATK Points: 2100 - 1050 = 1050/ DEF Points: 500 - 250 = 250.
"Nice move, but your monster isn't strong enough to win this duel". Yuya said to his opponent, getting Rin to smirk at him. "Whoever said I was done?" The Witch of the Wind questioned her opponent, before swiping her right hand into the air. "I Overlay Level 3 Windwitch - Black Ice Bell and Ice Bell!" Rin declared as her two witches transformed into two bright green lights that ascended into the air. "Not good". The Odd-Eyes Duelist commented as he took a step back, before a black portal appeared in the sky. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" The teenage girl exclaimed as the two lights flew into the portal, causing an explosion of energy.
"I Xyz Summon! Rank 3! Windwitch - Chaos Bell!" Rin called out to the heavens as her new monster flew out of the portal. It was a 17-year-old female with light skin, long dark hair with a black witch hat, wearing a black witch dress. She was riding atop a black broom and carried a black wand with her right hand. She possesses beautiful violet eyes, was both barefooted and barehanded. Finally, she wore an ice necklace around her neck. Two green overlay units circled around her as Chaos Bell flew atop her broom.
(Windwitch – Chaos Bell/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Spellcaster/ Xyz/ Effect/ Rank: 3/ ATK Points: 2200/ DEF Points: 1000/ Requirements: 2 Windwitch monsters/ Effect: Once per turn, you can detach one Xyz Material to return one card one the field to its owner's hand (Quick effect). When this card is destroyed, you can add the monsters used to Xyz Summon this card to your hand.)
Windwitch - Chaos Bell ATK Points: 2200 - 200 = 2000 + 300 = 2300.
The children all cried out in excitement upon seeing the new Xyz Monster, while Lulu just gave a sort smile at seeing the monster she gave to her sister. "You're in trouble now! I activate Chaos Bell's special ability!" Rin called out with a confident voice. Chaos Bell absorbed an overlay unit into her wand, causing a green flash, before pointing it up towards the sky. She fired a black beam into the sky, before it quickly disappeared, only to be replaced by a sudden black blizzard storm. Yuya gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes from the sudden blizzard storm, while Rin wasn't bothered by it.
"By using an overlay unit, she returns one of your monsters to your hand!" She explained her Xyz Monster's effect to her opponent, before she gave a wink towards Barrel Gator. "Sorry gator, but it's time for you to swim back home". Rin joked as the black blizzard storm completely surrounded the Xyz Monster, covering it from view. The snow storm soon cleared to reveal Barrel Gator was gone. "With Barrel Gator gone, my Chaos Bell regains her points". Rin stated as her Xyz Monster powered up a little.
Windwitch - Chaos Bell ATK Points: 2300 + 200 = 2500.
"With that taken care of, time to take care of your bat!" Rin said as she turned her sights on Performapal Traveling Ghost Bat. "Before that, I activate the Trap card, Last Minute Cancel!" Yuya called out as his last face-down card flipped itself over, before releasing a small light. "This Trap switches all my monsters into DEF Mode...!" Yuya began to explain as his Xyz Monster shifted into a defensive stance.
Performapal Traveling Ghost Bat DEF Points: 250.
"Then all Performapal monsters destroyed this turn return to my hand instead of going to the Graveyard!" Yuya finished explaining his Trap's effect, getting Rin to let out an impressed whistle. "Looks like you get another turn. But the least I can do is not leave you with that blood sucking bat. Chaos Bell, attack that bat!" Rin commanded as she reared her right hand back, before thrusting it out and pointed towards Traveling Ghost Bat with her index finger. Chaos Bell gave out a cry, before pointing her index finger out and fired a black beam at Traveling Ghost Bat. The beam made contact and instantly trapped the Zombie-Type monster in ice, but quickly shattered into pieces.
"With just one card in my hand, my potions are limited. But, I'll just throw a face-down and call it a turn". Rin said, picking up her single card and slotted it into her Duel Disk. A face-down card appeared in front of Rin, before it quickly disappeared as Chaos Bell flew down next to Rin. The Witch of the Wind jumped onto the broom behind Chaos Bell, before the Xyz Monster took off.
Yuya Life Points: 500/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"Wow, this duel has been intense". A random boy from the crowd of children stated, getting a girl next to him to nod. "Yeah. I knew that Yuya was strong, but I didn't expect the Witch of the Wind to push him this hard". She said in agreement, before all the children began to comment on the intense duel that they were watching. Zuzu watched with a hint of envy in her eyes from watching the back-to-back duel, and the fact that she couldn't give that to her childhood friend. Unlike the rest of the students of the You Show Duel School, she refused to learn Synchro, or Xyz Summoning from Yusei, Lulu or Rin. She was being petty, she knew that, but she hated the changes Yuya has gone through thanks to the three. But most of all, she hated the fact that Yuya had a crush on Lulu and not on her.
Serenity and Skip looked down at Zuzu in concern as they could see the envy in her eyes. Skip had believed that his daughter would have been happy with everything that had happened since Yusei, Lulu and Rin entered their lives, but instead she had grown to hate it. It worried him greatly as he hoped that Zuzu, Rin and Lulu could be great friends, but she refused to befriend them. Serenity had been attempting to befriend Zuzu as well, but she refused due to Serenity's relationship with Yusei, much to her displeasure.
Yuya placed his right hand on the top card of his deck, his eyes focused on the flying away Witch of the Wind. "It's my turn now! I draw!" The Dueltainer cried out as he drew his card and swiped his right hand out to the side. He brought the card in front of himself to see what it was, before holding it out. "I play the Spell card, Odd-Eyes Draw!" Yuya called out as the Spell card released a small light, before he picked up his second card. "By sending an "Odd-Eyes" monster, like my Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon..." He began to explain as he held up the second card in front of Odd-Eyes Draw's card, before sending them both to the Graveyard. "...I'm allowed to draw 3 new cards". Yuya concluded as he drew the top 3 cards of hid deck and looked at them.
Yuya gave a smile at seeing the new cards, before he added them to his hand, and then thrusted his right hand into the air. "Swing far, pendulum! Carve the arc of victory! My monsters are ready, to swing into action!" The Dueltainer called out as the giant pendant created another portal from the circle that it was drawing, before 2 bright lights shot out of it. "From my hand, Performapal Dag Daggerman and Performapal Gold Fang!" Yuya exclaimed as the two lights cleared to reveal Performapal Dag Daggerman and Gold Fang floating down in front of him.
Performapal Dag Daggerman ATK Points: 2000/ Level: 5.
Performapal Gold Fang ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
"At this moment, I activate both Gold Fang and Pendulum Sorcerer's special abilities!" Yuya declared as a golden light emerged from Gold Fang, while a light blue light rained down on the two Pendulum Monsters from Pendulum Sorcerer. "First, Gold Fang powers up my Performapal Monsters by 200 ATK Points..." He began to explain as his two monsters powered up.
Performapal Dag Daggerman ATK Points: 2000 + 200 = 2200.
Performapal Gold Fang ATK Points: 1800 + 200 = 2000.
"Now Pendulum Sorcerer's effect! When a Performapal Monster is Pendulum Summon, all "Performapal" monsters gains 1000 ATK Points!" Yuya finished as his monsters powered up once more.
Performapal Dag Daggerman ATK Points: 2200 + 1000 = 3200.
Performapal Gold Fang ATK Points: 2000 + 1000 = 3000.
Rin looked over her left shoulder and gave a whistle. "Not bad, but that won't win you the duel. I play Chaos Bell's special ability again". Rin declared as Chaos Bell turned her broom around to face the two Performapal monsters. She held up her wand as her last overlay unit was absorbed into it, causing a green flash, before pointing it up towards the sky. She fired a black beam into the sky, before it quickly disappeared, only to be replaced by a sudden black blizzard storm. "Say good-bye to Dag Daggerman!" The Witch of the Wind called out as the black blizzard storm completely surrounded the Xyz Monster, covering it from view. The snow storm soon cleared to reveal Performapal Dag Daggerman was gone.
Yuya picked up Dag Daggerman's card from the blade and placed it back in his hand. "It may be true that I won't win this round, but I can still deal damage to you! Gold Fang, pounce on that witch!" Yuya commanded his Pendulum Monster, making Gold Fang snarl, before leaping towards Chaos Bell. Rin quickly jumped off of her monster's broom, before Gold Fang knocked Chaos Bell off of her broom and sent her crashing onto the ground, where she shattered upon making impact. (3000 - 2500 = 500)
Rin Life Points: 550- 500 = 50.
'So close. Just one attack away'. Yuya thought to himself with a small smirk as Gold Fang returned to his side. Rin landed on her feet in a perfect landing, before she turned her head right to look at Yuya and gave him a small smile. "My Chaos Bell might be out of the game, but she leaves a small parting gift. When she is destroyed, I can add the monsters used to Xyz Summon it, back to my hand". Rin said as Black Ice Bell and Ice Bell's cards slotted out of her Duel Disk's Graveyard zone, before she picked them up and added them to her hand.
'Not good. With Black Ice Bell, she can end this duel on her next turn. I better set up a defense and fast!' Yuya exclaimed in his head, before he picked up a card from his hand and slotted it into his Duel Disk. "I'll set a face-down card and end my turn! And at this moment, both Gold Fang and Pendulum Sorcerer's effects end!" Yuya declared his turn over as a face-down card appeared in front of him, before he climbed onto Gold Fang's back.
Performapal Gold Fang ATK Points: 3000 - 1000 = 2000 - 200 = 1800.
Rin Life Points: 50/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
Gold Fang took off and ran past Rin, who looked over her right shoulder to watch Yuya ride away. "My turn now! I draw!" Rin called out as she turned around and placed her right hand on her deck. She drew her card in a normal fashion and held it in front of her. She stared at the card for a moment, before adding the card to her hand. "Since my field is now empty, I can now Special Summon the Windwitch - Black Ice Bell from my hand!" Rin called out as she took a card from her hand and placed it on her Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared besides her, before Windwitch - Black Ice Bell flew out of it atop her broom.
Windwitch - Black Ice Bell ATK Points: 1300 + 300 = 1700/ Level: 3.
"Then you take 500 points of damage!" Rin added as Black Ice Bell fired a black ice beam from her want towards the back of Yuya, who was still riding on Gold Fang's back. "Not this time! I play Rainbow Life!" The Odd-Eyes Duelist called out as his face-down card appeared behind him, before it flipped up. Black Ice Bell's beam struck the card, but wasn't able to push through on to Yuya. "By discarding a card from my hand, this Trap negates all damage this turn, and then increases my Life Points by the amount that I would have taken". Yuya explained his Trap card's effect as he discarded Dag Daggerman's card, before both Rainbow Life's card and Black Ice Bell's beam turned into yellow sparkles that rained down on him.
Yuya Life Points: 500 + 500 = 1000.
"Good counter, especially with using the card that I sent back to your hand, but that wasn't my only move". Rin stated, before she picked up another card from her hand and held it up. "I Summon Windwitch - Ice Bell!" She called out, before placing the card on her Duel Disk's blade. Another portal appeared besides her, before Windwitch - Ice Bell flew out of it with a smile.
Windwitch - Ice Bell ATK Points: 1000 + 300 = 1300/ Level: 3.
"Even if I use Ice Bell's effect, that'll just increase your Life Points even more. Instead, I'll play this! The Spell card, Sacred Winds!" Rin called out as she held up the last card in her hand, before slotting it into her Duel Disk. Sacred Wind's card appeared in front of Rin, before both it, Black Ice Bell and Ice Beam glowed green. "For every WIND Monster on the field, I draw one card! Since there's 2, I draw 2 more cards!" She explained her Spell card's effect as the green glow died down, before she drew the top 2 cards of her deck . She added them to her hand, before holding up her Duel Disk. "Now I play Sacred Wind's second effect". She declared as a green light erupted out of her Duel Disk's Graveyard Zone.
"By removing this card from play, I can add a WIND Attribute monster from my grave to my hand". She explained her Trap's effect as a card slotted out of the Graveyard Zone with the light dying down. Rin picked the card up, revealing it to be Windwitch - Snow Bell. "I add Windwitch - Snow Bell. Now, since I control 2 Windwitches, I can Special Summon her!" Rin called out as she threw the card onto her Duel Disk's blade. A flash of white light appeared, before it cleared to reveal Windwitch - Snow Bell.
Windwitch - Snow Bell ATK Points: 100 + 300 = 400/ Level: 1.
"Now, Level 1 Snow Bell Tunes with Level 3 Black Ice Bell and Ice Bell!" The Witch of the Wind called out as both Black Ice Bell and Ice Bell flew into the air, while Snow Bell transformed into a green ring that chased after the two Spellcasters. The single green ring circled around both Black Ice Bell and Ice Bell, causing the two Spellcasters' bodies to turn orange transparent. "I'm Summoning a Monster that will hit you with all the power of a wicked wintertime blizzard! I Synchro Summon Windwitch - Winter Bell!" Rin chanted as the bodies of the two witches dispersed to reveal 6 bright stars that lined up in the green rings, before a beam appeared and consumed them all. Her ace monster, Windwitch - Winter Bell flew out of the beam and gave out a cry as she floated in the air.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2400 + 300 = 2700/ Level: 7.
"Alright! Now Rin can attack Gold Fang!" Frederick called out in excitement, getting Gong to look down at him with narrowed eyes. "All that'll do is increase Yuya's Life Points, no benefit for her". The Superheavy Samurai Duelist told the young boy, getting Frederick to grow a look of realization. "That's right, she can't!" The young boy exclaimed, while Yusei narrowed his eyes. "Rainbow Life. Its effects lasts for the whole turn. All damage will increase Yuya's Life Points". The Synchro Duelist said with a serious tone, while Lulu held her chin with her right hand. "Even if she destroys Gold Fang, Yuya could just Pendulum Summon it next turn". The purple haired girl pointed out, getting Allie to grow a worried look.
Rin picked up her two cards in her hand and held up to the left side of her face. "I'll throw these down and end my turn!" The Witch of the Wind called out as she swiped the card into her Duel Disk, causing 2 face-down cards to appear besides her first face-down card.
Yuya Life Points: 1000/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"I draw!" Yuya called out as he drew his card with his right hand, still riding atop Gold Fang as it ran through the forest. "Check this out! The Trap, Battle Mania!" Rin called out, swiping her left hand out to the side as her left face-down card flipped open, reveal Battle Mania, before it released a white glow. "This Trap forces all your monsters into ATK Mode, and they cannot change their positions. Here's my favorite part, all your monsters must attack this turn". She explained her Trap card's effect, getting Yuya and the audience to widen their eyes in surprise.
"That's a risky card. Why would Rin have it?" Skip questioned in confusion, wondering why the female Synchro Duelist would have that card. "Who cares. She made a mistake because of that card, she'll lose if Yuya Summons a powerful enough monster to destroy Winter Bell". Zuzu remarked with a slightly joyful look. Serenity had an expression of wonder on her face, watching with great attention.
Yuya looked at his new card and grew a smile upon seeing that it was Monster Reborn. 'Nice. With this card, victory is mine'. The Odd-Eyes Duelist said in his mind, before he held up the Spell card. "I play the magic of Monster Reborn!" He called out, before slotting the card into his Duel Disk. A black portal appeared in the sky above, getting Rin to look up at it. "This Spell card allows me to Summon any Monster in our Graveyards! By Monster Reborn's power, I Summon back from the grave, Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon!" Yuya cried out as his dragon, Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon flew down from the portal and landed on the ground, before releasing a powerful cry.
Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon ATK Points: 3000/ Level: 8.
Gong, Allie and Frederick all grew excited upon seeing this, while Yusei and Lulu stayed silent as they watched. Gold Fang then gave his duelist a snarl, getting Yuya's attention as he looked down at the Beast-Type monster's head. Gold Fang looked forward, making the Odd-Eyes Duelist look forward, before he widened his eyes upon seeing an Action card lying in a tree's leaves up ahead. "Nice eye, Gold Fang! Now let's go get that Action card!" Yuya said with a confident smile, getting Gold Fang to cry out as it leaped into the air.
Gold Fang leaped into the tree's leaves for one moment, before emerging from it on the other side with Yuya holding the Action card with his right hand's index and middle fingers. "Got it! I play the Action Spell Double Attack!" The Dueltainer called out as he held the card out, before slotting it into his Duel Disk. Gold Fang landed on the ground on all four feet, before Double Attack appeared in front of it and Yuya. "This Action Spell doubles one of my monster's ATK Points, and I choose Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon!" He explained his Spell card's effect as a purple aura surrounded Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, powering him up.
Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon ATK Points: 3000 x 2 = 6000.
All the children cried out in excitement at seeing the powered-up dragon, while Rin narrowed her eyes at it. "Nice power up, but too bad some of your new points are going! I play the Trap, Synchro Big Tornado!" Rin called out as her second face-down card flipped itself over. "This Trap targets a Synchro Monster I control and one monster you control! Your monster loses ATK Points equal to my Synchro Monster's DEF Points!" She explained as green auras surrounded Winter Bell and Advance Dragon.
Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon ATK Points: 6000 - 2000 = 4000.
Yuya narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, before he climbed off of Gold Fang's back. 'What's she planning? All that she has is a face-down card that she played 2 turns ago, but didn't use when Chaos Bell was attacked? Is it not for when a monster she controls is being attack? Or something else? Either way, I can't really wait and find out with Battle Mania. Time to take a chance!' The Odd-Eyes Duelist thought to himself with narrowed eyes, before thrusting his left fist out. "Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, attack Windwitch - Winter Bell!" Yuya commanded, making Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon cry out, before he unleashed a blackish red beam at Winter Bell.
Rin gave a sigh with her eyes closed, before she reopened them and looked forward. "Nice try Yuya, but too bad. I reveal my last face-down, Synchro Strike!" Rin called out as she held her right hand out as her last face-down card revealed itself. Yuya widened his eyes upon seeing the Trap, before he softened his expression as he realized what this mean.
"Synchro Strike increases the ATK Points of a Synchro Monster on the field by 500 points for every monster used as Synchro Material for its Synchro Summon! Since 3 monsters were used, that's 1500 more points for Winter Bell!" Rin explained her Trap card's effect as three white fire balls shot out of Synchro Strike's card. The fire balls flew around and struck Winter Bell, but didn't do any harm, instead engulf the Synchro Monster in a flaming white aura.
Windwitch - Winter Bell ATK Points: 2700 + 1500 = 4200.
Zuzu widened her eyes in concern, before she turned to look up at her father. "Dad? How is Yuya gonna get out of this?" The pink haired female asked her father, getting Skip to shake his head sideways. "I'm afraid he can't. Battle Mania forces all of Yuya's monsters to attack Winter Bell, and he can't end his Battle Phase". The principal of the You Show Duel School told his daughter, getting Zuzu to gasp in concern as she looked back at the duel. "But she's way stronger than Odd-Eyes and Gold Fang". She said in concern for her childhood friend.
"DON'T DO IT! WE BEG YOU!" All the children begged the Witch of the Wind, getting her to chuckle as she held up her right fist. "Sorry! But I play to win! Winter Bell, fight back!" Rin cried out as she thrust her right fist out. Winter Bell cried out as she generated white icicles made of flames, before firing them forward. The flaming icicles tore through the blackish red beam and towards Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, creating an explosion upon impact. (4200 - 4000 = 200)
Yuya Life Points: 1000 - 200 = 800.
"The last move is yours, Yuya. Your only chance at surviving this would is to get another Double Attack, but I doubt you're that lucky". Rin said as she crossed her arms, before she turned to see the audience and saw all the kids crying anime style. Yuya placed his hands on his hips and gave a defeated sigh. "Well, might as well go out with some style". The Odd-Eyes Duelist said to himself, before pointing towards Windwitch - Winter Bell with his right hand's index finger. "Gold Fang! Take out that witch!" Yuya commanded, making Gold Fang give out one final howl, before leaping into the air.
Gold Fang began falling towards Windwitch - Winter Bell, who looked up towards the falling Beast-Type. "Winter Bell, give one final attack!" Rin told her ace monster with a simple smile, getting the Synchro Monster to cry out, before she generated white flaming icicles. She fired them towards the falling Gold Fang. The icicles made contact and created a white explosion. Yuya gave another sigh as he tilted his head down. (4200 - 1800 = 2400)
Yuya Life Points: 800 - 2400 = 0.
Winner: Rin!
A screen appeared, showing an image of Rin with the words "Win" underneath, before both it and the Action Field dispersed. Windwitch - Winter Bell also dispersed into sparkles as the field returned to normal. Both of Rin and Yuya's Duel Disks deactivated, before the Witch of the Wind placed her hands on her hips. "G.G, man. G.G". Rin told the tomato hair styled boy, getting Yuya to tilt his head up and gave her a small appreciated smile. "Thanks. Back at ya". The Odd-Eyes Dueling replied to his friend, before they walked up to one another and high-fived one another.
All the children had shocked expressions on their faces upon seeing the outcome of the duel, while Zuzu crossed her arms. "Wow. I can't believe he lost". A young boy said in disbelief, while Tate, who was part of the crowd, had wide eyes of shock. "I guess having Pendulum Summoning doesn't mean you're invincible". A 10-year-old girl said with a sad look, having thought that with Pendulum Summoning, Yuya was unbeatable. "Of course it doesn't. There is no such thing as an "invincible" duelist". Skip stated, getting all the kids to turn towards him and saw that he had a serious expression on his face as he looked at Yuya and Rin.
"There may be undefeatable duelists, but there is no such thing as "invincible duelists". In some point, every duelist will lose, no matter what kind of cards they use. Even our best duelist, Yusei Fudo, lost a few duels in the past, but learned from his defeats and grew stronger". He told the children without turning tp face them as he crossed his arms. He had at once thought Yusei as an invincible duelist as well, before Yusei told him that he was not. He told him that even he had been defeated in the past a few times, but had learned to accept his defeats and learn from them. Skip learned a great deal from Yusei and from his modesty.
All the kids had shocked looks at hearing Skip' words, while Serenity looked a little surprised that even Yusei lost a duel before. Zuzu, on the other hand, felt her hopes grow upon hearing Yusei wasn't undefeatable. 'Maybe...just maybe I can beat him'. She thought to herself, before she grew a confident smile on her face. The door to the Dueling arena opened, before both Yuya and Rin walked out of it, having a conversation with one another. Upon seeing them, all the kids ran over and surrounded the two duelists. "That was amazing!" The same 10-year-old girl said to Rin with a look of awe, getting the Witch of the Wind to grow a small smile at her.
"So Yuya, when will we get our own Pendulum cards and learn how to Pendulum Summon?" A random boy asked the Odd-Eyes Duelist, getting Yuya to look down at him with a straight face. Yuya opened his mouth to answer, but someone else beat him to it. "We can't teach Pendulum Summoning". A familiar voice answered the child, getting everyone's attention as they looked to see Yusei, Lulu, Gong, Allie and Frederick walk into the hallway from the corner with the speaker being Satellite's Shooting Star.
"Pendulum Summoning was created today, and Yuya possess perhaps the only Pendulum cards in his deck so far. We still don't know everything about it just yet, so we can't teach what we don't know". Yusei added, getting Yuya to grow a serious expression, before he looked down at the children surrounding him. "My teacher is right. I may be Pendulum Summoning's creator, but I still have much to learn about it. I'm sorry, but I can't teach you guys Pendulum Summoning, or give you Pendulum cards yet". Yuya told the young children, getting them all to cry out in disappointment.
Rin, upon seeing their looks of disappointment, decided to give them some hope. "Hey, they said "yet". That means that someday we'll have more Pendulum cards and be able to teach Pendulum Summoning. You all just need to wait patiently". The Witch of the Wind told the children with a soft tone, getting some of them to grow hopeful smiles. "She's right. Until then, we can't teach you what you want. You're still welcome to join our Duel School though". Skip told the children, although he had a good feeling that any of them would still want to join.
He was proven right as all the kids began to leave the Duel School, having no reason to join now. However, only one of them stayed. It was Tate, getting everyone to look down at him in surprise. "You're that kid that watched mine and Gong's duel this morning". Yuya said as he recognized him, getting Tate to look up at him and nod. "What's your name?" Rin asked with a curious voice, getting Tate to turn his attention over to her. "It's Tate, miss". The blue haired boy answered the Synchro Duelist, getting Rin to smile down at him. "Is there any reason you're still here? We were serious when we told everyone that we couldn't teach Pendulum Summon". Skip asked in a curious voice, grabbing the young boy's attention
"I'm not here because I want to learn Pendulum Summoning. I wanted to join this school". Tate answered Skips, much to everyone's surprise at hearing his answer. "You do? But why?" Lulu asked the young boy, getting him to turn towards her. "It's because of Yuya". The blue haired child answered, something that made Yuya slightly widen his eyes in surprise. "Because of me?" He questioned the young boy, which Tate nodded towards him. "You were amazing in your duels, Yuya. When you were dueling, it was like magic. You and your monsters put thousands of fans together. I want to do the same thing someday. I'll learn to duel just like you". Tate explained to the Odd-Eyes Duelist, getting everyone to smile at him and Yuya.
Yuya had grown his own smile at hearing Tate's words as he could sense that he was telling the truth. Yuya walked up to Tate, before he knelt down and placed his right hand on Tate's shoulder. "If that is what you want, then you're more than welcome to join You Show". The Dueltainer told the young boy, getting Tate to grow a happy smile on his face. Everyone watched with smiles as Yuya stood up on his feet fully, before he turned to look at Lulu, who gave him a small, sweet smile.
Serenity, who had been silent for this whole time, walked up next to Yusei on his left and leaned in close to him. "Yuya is growing up, isn't he?" The teenage girl asked her crush, getting him to nod with a small smile. "He is. He's growing up fast, both as a duelist, and as a person. Even losing now doesn't lower his morale". Satellite's Shooting Star answered her with a slightly proud voice, getting Serenity to smile at him. She then tapped Yusei's left shoulder with her right hand, getting him to look at her. "I...finally decided to become a duelist, and I want your help learning a specific Summoning". Serenity told her crush, getting him lightly confused by both her words and whispering.
"What is it that you want to learn from me?" Yusei questioned the 16-year-old female, getting her to smile at him. "I want to learn how to Fusion Summon". Serenity answered, getting Yusei to slightly widen his eyes in surprise and in alarm. Serenity noticed the alarm in his eyes and quickly sought to calm him down. "You can teach me in secret. I remember what you said about Lulu's problem with Fusion Summoning". She told him, getting Yusei to calm down as his eyes returned to normal, before he looked at her through the corner of his left eye.
"Why Fusion Summoning?" He questioned her, wanting to know why she wanted to learn that Summoning and not Synchro, or Xyz. "To be honest, I don't know. Synchro and Xyz are both amazing, but Fusion Summoning was my favorite. Please teach me". Serenity requested from her crush. Yusei turned his head left to look at her and saw the deep desire in her eyes to learn Fusion Summoning. He gave a small sigh, before he nodded to her, giving his answer. Serenity grew an excited look on her face, but kept her emotions in check. "Thank you". She whispered to him in thanks, grateful that he'll teach her.
Yusei gave her a nod, before he looked back at the group as everyone welcomed Tate into You Show. 'Times are changing, for best, or for worse. I wonder what else lies before us in the future. I do know this, we won't face it alone, but together'. Yusei thought to himself with a smile, wondering what the future held for them all.
