[IC] Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

[manapool1]

Watching her fumble through her deck, mouthing about them constantly, which he listened to dedicatedly. He found it interesting she knew so much about her Archetype to even be able to understand it's unique name. he was not all too surprised when he learned she was a baker. It all just sort of seemed to click with the rest of her personality and aspects of her. Lua always loved sweets, so perhaps they would end up meeting up often, as he would be eating from her bakery. Eventually, he began to shuffle through his own deck, pulling out a few cards that he found would be useful for them both mutually and placing them in between his fingers to show her later. He ended up pulling out a total of five. He placed his deck away and flipped his hand around so that their pictures may be shown to her, and moved each finger so that each card could be seen. They were: Mage of faith, Cyber jar, Gravity Bind, morphing Jar and a card unseen before by almost anyone, one with a human looking alien covered in foreign armor and a tail wrapped around its waist. it looked like a human-monkey hybrid. he seemed giddy to explain himself to her.
"Look! This could work well! With Gravity bind, we'd be safe because we both had cards that only have around 4 stars max! Oh, and Cyber Jar will let us get rid of any monsters our enemy has, and since your cards go back to the deck, you may get to put it back on the field! Morphing jar could help you get the cards you want! Oh, and mage of faith can keep your field card and madolche ticket come back so you can use them again! And uh- Oh" He began, ecstatically explaining how they could use their cards together like this was the best invention since sliced bread. He seemed to grow a bit concerned when he forgot the last one. He didn't really remember putting it up there, and it seemed to glow to him a little bit. Slowly he picked it up and turned it on himself, moving so that he was on the same side as her so she could see it as well. His cheeks went a bit red and he chuckled a small bit as he saw it.
"Sorry, I guess I must have gotten too excited and showed you this one. It's sort of my pride and joy. All my other cards were ones my brothers didn't want, but this one was different. I just found it one day, sitting in my room. I thought my mother gave it to me, but, she said she had never seen it" He spoke, looking at the card as if he were mesmurized. It was the strongest card he had in attack, after all, but it was more than that. It was as if he was seeing some unworldly, masterful being. Quickly he shook it off and turned to her with a nervous smile and chuckle.
"Hehe, sorry, I don't think that really matters to you, I just got a bit carried away. Do you really think we could work together?"

[Menhir]

So mark down "time" as another thing this poor woman didn't understand.

"Mm...", the boy grunted as the man-lizard lumbered forward, still not leaving the recycling bin. Really, the bigger surprise was that his temporally-challenged opponent hadn't left hers. Standing in raw garbage for any length of time couldn't have been comfortable, especially in this heat.

"...Should I use one?", he mumbled aloud as the lizard prepared to slap him across the head, "I mean, it's only about 1800. I think I can handle it... Actually wait... No, yeah, I probably should use one, since my life points are static... My partner would be disappointed if I took damage from a weird hobo..."

He ducked the blow and tapped his duel disk display.

"I'll activate Waboku. All battle damage is reduced to zero, and my monsters... Were I to, theoretically speaking, have any monsters... My monsters would be indestructible for the duration. Have you finished?"

__________

Meanwhile, elsewhere on campus...

"Not so fast! I activate the trap card, Vanity's Emptiness!"

One of the trap cards flipped itself face-up, and with it the scattered doll parts began to disintegrate.

"While Vanity's Emptiness is on the field, NO monsters can be special summoned... INCLUDING those dolls of yours! But more importantly..."

The child squared their shoulders angrily.

"--What do you MEAN, 'only an idiot'? I mean, me, if I was gonna be trapped down in a hole, I'd DEFINITELY want something like this. This is like- this is the SISTINE CHAPEL of pitfalls, okay? It's THAT good. You see that timber?"

The child pointed to a barely-visible support embedded in the pit's wall.

"That's HAND-SHAPED, LOCALLY-SOURCED lumber right there, okay? The cushioning under you? One-hundred-percent biodegradable, re~cycled materials. Even the COVER you fell through cost vir~tually NOTHING to produce in resources. What, you're telling me that you've seen BETTER pitfalls? Huh? Cuz I'd sure like to SEE 'em. Me and partner are pitfall EXPERTS, okay? Act~ually, you know what? I wasn't planning to activate Tsujik's effect, since I felt SORRY for you, but now I am! Once per turn, I can target one of my Yosenju monsters, and boost its attack points by 1000! And my target is... Yosenju Tsujik! Now sic 'em, boy!"

The kid kicked the dirt and watched, hands on hips, as Tsujik renewed its attack, twice as vigorous as before.

"A-and just so we're clear: It's not like I wanted you to be IMPRESSED or anything, o-okay!?"

Elly shakes her head before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a lollipop. "Are you done yet? You know, it's annoying to go on and on when everyone you're talking to just wants you to shut up." Elly stretches out her hand and a trap card is revealed: Curse Transfer. Vanity's Emptiness begins to glow and then shatters, its sparkly white pieces floating into and being absorbed by Curse Transfer. "This trap negates Vanity's Emptiness and destroys it." She leaves out the part where it applies Vanity's Emptiness'effect for herself, negating Box of Friends, but it'll be gone at least.

Yosenju Tsujin attacks Elly directly. Elly refuses to flinch as her hair flies backward, maintaining a hostile grimace. She reaches out again and activates another card. "I activate Dark Horizon." From within the card, a doll of some sort seems to crawl out of the card, though not in pieces this time. "Meet Alice, the Wandering Doll." Alice bats away hair on her face as if to exemplify her fake humanity.

Elly finally takes the wrapper off of her lollipop and tosses it on the ground, putting the lollipop in her mouth with a sour expression. "A sistine chapel of a hole in the ground is still just a place to dump your garbage, but I guess that would suit someone like you." She bites the lollipop top off and tosses the stick on the ground. "Are you done yet?"

@Blight Bug

The professor clicked and whirred. "PARSING..." it droned... "YOUR STATEMENT IS FALSE. I END THE BATTLE PHASE. ENTER MAIN PHASE TWO. END PHASE..."

For a professor, it didn't seem the professor actually did much. There could be some ulterior motive, however, it was difficult exactly getting a read on him for what might be obvious reasons.

It was the turn of the Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway to Hell.

Turn 2 state of the board

Card in Hand: Deskbot 004
On the Field: Pendulum Machine (Attack Mode, 1750 atk), Deskbot 006 (Defense Mode, 1500 def), Deskbot 002 (Defense Mode, 500 def)

@GarlandDaHero

Mike was clearly knocked back from the last blow. What was once two monsters on the field had become zero and the state of the game had turned in Tekkan's favor.

"Wow! That was cool!" Mike picked himself up and dusted himself off. With a smirk, he responded. "If this were a normal duel, I'd have been a goner!" he stated, a holographic image showing his lifepoints at 3300.

[Blight Bug]

"Your statement saying my statement was false is false!" Konstantinovich declared, "If I don't dissemble you outright after this, I will at least make you suffer greatly for halting my work!"

The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell (and currently perturbed Demonic Detective) drew his next card.

"I'll set down a face down in the Spell & Trap Zone and next I summon Plaguespreader Zombie onto the field in defense mode!" The Ghoulish Rider and Traveler of the Highway of Hell announced as the face down card materialized and shortly after the purple abomination that was Plaguespreader Zombie emerged next to the Pyramid Turtle.

"But don't get used to these two damned friends together for they are going to share a greater bond! Plaguespreader Zombie tune up Pyramid Turtle for the Synchro Summon!" And so Plaguespreader Zombie began wiping down Pyramid Turtle with a purple ooze which led to them both being engulfed in a white flash surrounded by green circles.

"Behold my Synchro Summon, Revived King Ha Des!"

And lo did the zombie clad in regal purple robes, Revived King Ha Des appear onto the field in attack mode, with its 2450 Attack Points itching for a fight. Fyodor pointed at Pendulum Machine.

"Kill!" The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell commanded as Revived King Ha Des flew over to crush the Pendulum Machine.

[Satoshi Kyou]

Rumi took a look at the cards her new partner talked about "Cyber jar I definitely agree with but morphing jar one problem... my friend told me discarding and destroying is a whole different thing... my graveyard isn't allowed to have any monsters in it" Rumi raised a few concerns for her deck then when hearing about the last card the story sounded a little familiar "That reminds me... it's not my ace monster but I have a similar story" She mentions and pulls out a card with an illustration of a young girl with a whisk and baking tools which looked a lot like Rumi herself "This card showed up while I was making my friend some cookies and it showed up in my mixing bowl... when I wasn't watching, She's not that strong though... She seems like a nice girl so I treat her like my friend so I don't really want to see her hurt... they are all friends really!" Rumi said holding out Puddingcess and Tiaramisu along with the card she just talked about but quickly shook her head "nevermind all that I'm probably a little weird for saying that... A card just showing up in a mixing bowl who would believe something like that, and cards being friends that mentality is a bit ridiculous right?" Rumi talked about her strange card as well after hearing about Lua's and talked about how she treats the cards she has though she quickly dismissed what she was doing as strange and ridiculous "A-Anyways let's get looking for some people, just remember this a free for all format so we have to be careful with our cards and likely avoid cards that can harm us" Rumi suggested and noted grabbing Madolche Waltz as an example and thus reshuffling her deck by hand and setting it back into her Duel Disk looking out into the crowd attempting to make gestures that signify she wants to duel though most of them end up looking like she is dancing around

[manapool1]

"Well then we can use it as a last ditch if it comes to it, how about that?" He worriedly spoke to try to cover up his little mistake in strategy. He was glad she switched to another topic, and when she pulled out another card with similar story to it, one that be had yet to see or hear about. It piqued his interest and he was excited to hear her explain it.
"Whoa, thats weird. Mine is a bit scary, I get night mares next to it and I wake up with it on the top of my deck. I guess it's just a card, I should worry" he spoke a bit more nonchalantly than before, clearly easing himself into comfort around her.
"Alright, so I won't play my Morphing jars, but everything else is fair game, I like it"

[GarlandChaos]

@KOgaming

For the moment, Tekkan smirked. He was glad that he managed to turn the tide of battle in his favor, but knew that Mike could come back just as easily as him if he played his cards right.

"Heh. Thanks. That'll be the end of my turn, then." The youth then gave the Pink Floyd shirt kid a thumbs-up. "Just go for it!"

[Eklispe]

Matt Ronwell

Surprisingly, despite the lengthy walk about Matt made it through unchallenged, it seemed several people were playing the waiting game and only dueling to defend themselves. Matt mentally shrugged, you couldn't blame people for wanting to win, whatever stratagey they felt suitable for doing so was their own business. Once they found the mall area it took a bit of looking around to actually locate the card shop, Ayami finding it and indicating for him to follow. Matt stepped into the store, curious as to what he would find, well, other than cards of course. "Are you just here to window shop or did you have something specific in mind." Matt asked Ayami as he took in the store. It was somewhat grandiose as could be expected, with rows and rows of cards, categorized in what appeared to be a meticulous fashion. With this many cards and no idea what changes, if any, Matt would even want to make to his deck, he didn't know where to start looking.

[KOgaming]

@Blight Bug

Powerless under the might of Ha Des, Pendulum Machine had crumbled, its hull crushed like a tin can as the blade fell off of it and onto the ground, disappearing into a mist of glowing digital stuff followed by the rest of the machine's body. The professor was unfazed and unimpressed, as one might expect.

(LP: 3300)

@GarlandDaHero

Mike wiped his mouth and rolled his shoulders. "Draw!" he shouted gleefully before looking at the card and placing it in his hand. He thumbed through the two cards, though he had known from the start what his plan was going to be.

"Well then... I'll discard one card from my hand to activate the effect of Guitaar in my pendulum zone!" Mike threw one card into his graveyard, the guitar wielding guitar lighting up and playing a riff. "Come on out! Symphonic Warrior Miccs!" An anthropomorphic microphone tore itself out of the ether and onto the field with a loud screeching noise amplified by the amplifier behind them.

"Next, I'll summon Symphonic Warrior Basses in attack mode! I now possess a tuner monster. Therefore... Level 1 tuner Symphonic Warrior Basses and level 5 Symphonic Warrior Miccs! Spit fire upon this wretched Earth and show that rock and roll is not mere noise pollution! Rock on!" Mike chuckled, shaking his head; "Symph Amplifire's effect activates! I can remove seven out of the nine Symphonic Tokens I currently control and banish monsters on your side of the field or in your graveyard equal to the amount of Symphonic Warrior cards on the field! That number is three! Therefore, three of your cards are banished! That means Champion, Noble Viscount, and Ignition Phoenix are all gone!"

Mike ran to his Miccs, holding onto its shoulders. The monster flew upward to the amplifier where all the buttons were, turning its back to them so that Mike could press the play button. Then, blasting out of Symph Amplifire were the sounds of guitar and bass accompanied by loud screeching which could only be assumed to be produced by Miccs. The sound waves are enough that Tekkan's monsters completely vanish.

"Sorry about that, but I do kinda like winning. So. That monster you sent back now returns with a vengeance! Level 6 Symphonic Warrior Saxxes!"

Returning from the extra deck was Saxxes, wielding his two saxophones proudly, and from Mike's deck, another Symph Amplifire.

"Saxxes! Attack his life points directly!"

Turn 3 state of the board

1. Drew for turn
2. Activated effect of "Symphonic Warrior Guitaar", discarding "Breakthrough Skill" to summon "Symphonic Warrior Miccs".

2a. Symph Amplifire activates, adding 1 Symphonic Counter to itself.

5a. Symph Amplifire activates, adding 1 Symphonic Counter to itself.

6. Attacks directly using Saxxes.

Symphonic Warrior Saxxes Current Attack Value: 2600

[GarlandChaos]

@KOgaming

Tekkan covered his ears and grated his teeth as the incredibly loud sound waves from the instruments and the amplifiers caused his monsters and Field Spell to vanish into the aether. "U-Urgggggh...! Th-That's way too loud!" the white-haired youth screamed at the top of his lungs as the sound came to a dead stop, leaving an incredibly annoying ringing sound in his ears.

Tekkan covered his ears again as the sound waves from Saxxes, although not as loud, still were enough to remove 2600 Life Points from his name, leaving him with 3700. "Geez...it may not be noise pollution, but it sure stings like hell..." Without any way to recover his two strongest monsters, the youth had no idea how to come back from this turn of events. He had to pray for some kind of miracle.

[Blight Bug]

The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell certainly had an expression on his face as he witnessed the Revived King Ha Des crush the Pendulum Machine, but that expression was just between him and the Devil. He threw up his hands and cackled, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bow down! Sell your soul to me, pacify your Demons and BOW DOWN! Also I end my turn."

[KOgaming]

@GarlandDaHero

"Gotta say. You're pretty good. Sorry I had to take out your field like that but again, I kinda like winning." Mike said sheepishly. "Anyways. I don't have any more cards in my hand so I'll just end my turn. Go ahead."

@Blight Bug

"SYNCHRO SUMMON... ANALYSIS. YOUR SYNCHRO SUMMON IS WEAK. DRAW!" Professor Furiko exclaimed, a card materializing before him. "PENDULUM SUMMON! FROM MY EXTRA DECK, DESKBOT ZERO-ZERO-SEVEN IN DEFENSE MODE! NORMAL SUMMON, DESKBOT ZERO-ZERO-ONE! LEVEL ONE TUNER DESKBOT ZERO-ZERO-ONE, LEVEL TWO DESKBOT ZERO-ZERO-TWO, AND LEVEL SEVEN DESKBOT ZERO-ZERO-SEVEN! SYNCHRO SUMMON! LEVEL TEN DESKBOT JET."

Deskbot 001 vanished into a flash of light, molding into a green circle. The other two robots followed suit, changing into a total of nine glowing orbs. Then, appearing as a result, what appeared to be a pencil case with 001, 002, and 006 inside piloting it.

"NEXT. I WILL ACTIVATE THE EFFECT OF DESKBOT JET. I CAN TARGET 1 "DESKBOT" CARD I CONTROL AND 1 FACE-UP CARD ON THE FIELD, DESTROYING BOTH. I WILL CHOOSE DESKBOT ZERO-ZERO-FIVE IN MY PENDULUM ZONE AND YOUR FACE-UP REVIVED KING HA DES. DESTROY." Deskbot Jet flew toward the pillar Deskbot 005 was on, the robot hopping in. It climbs into one of the pencil-guns, before being launched out of it and toward Pyramid Turtle, destroying it.

Turn 3 Fyodor vs. Prof. Furiko

Current LP: 3300
Deskbot Jet: 3000 atk

Deskbot 010
Level 10 EARTH Machine-type Pendulum monster
500 / 500
Pendulum Scale 0
[Pendulum Effect]
You cannot Pendulum Summon monsters, except "Deskbot" monsters. This effect cannot be negated.
[Monster Effect]
When there is a monster in your Pendulum Zone and a "Pendulum Machine" in your graveyard, you can Pendulum Summon this card regardless of your Pendulum Scales. Once per turn, you can add 1 face-up "Deskbot" Pendulum monster from your extra deck to your hand. This card gains 500 ATK for each "Deskbot" card you control and face-up in your extra deck. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or by card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.

[KOgaming]

[GarlandChaos]

@KOgaming

Tekkan drew his card and smiled at his current hand. It was just what he needed, and would secure him the win if everything went according to plan.

"First, I'll activate Terraforming! This allows me to add 1 Field Spell Card from my deck to my hand, and I choose Ignition Phoenix!" The card ejected from the youth's deck right into his hand. Immediately afterwards, he placed it in the appropriate zone, bringing back the fiery bird formation in the sky.

"Next, I'll activate Igknight Cavalier in my other Pendulum Zone and use her effect to destroy herself and Templar to add another Fire Warrior monster to my hand! And I'll choose Igknight Crusader!"

The pink ninja made hand gestures towards the orange sniper; subsequently, the two fired their weapons at each other, the resulting blast sending them into the Extra Deck and adding a blue knight with a barrel-shaped helmet and a slim but sharp sword to Tekkan's hand as replacement.

"And now! I'll place Igknight Crusader and Igknight Squire in my Pendulum Zones and Pendulum Summon Igknights Gallant, Veteran, Templar, Paladin, and Cavalier back from my Extra Deck! GO!"

The blue knight and the yellow knight with a short yet bulky blade resembling a revolver sounded a whistle as they materialized in the Pendulum Zones, calling forth the rest of the battalion, each taking fighting stances and becoming empowered by Ignition Phoenix's fiery aura.

"But I'm not done yet! With my Igknights Templar and Paladin, I'll build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer!" The orange and purple Igknights were transformed into balls of bright light, dancing around each other to create a purple bird wearing a musketeer's uniform and trademark blunderbuss.

"I'll need to build the Overlay Network one more time, though! I overlay Igknights Gallant and Veteran to Xyz Summon Photon Strike Bounzer!" The same procedure was performed again, this time with the green and light blue Igknights, the resulting monster being an anthropomorphic red beast of some sort with light encompassing certain parts of its body and protruding from its hands.

"Castel has two effects, but I'll be using its second effect to detach 2 Xyz Materials and shuffle Symphonic Warrior Saxxes back into your Extra Deck!" The bird's materials were absorbed into its musket as it launched the two of them at the giant saxophone, the blast sending it once again back into Mike's Extra Deck.

"And now, with your field clear of monsters, I'll attack your Life Points directly with my own squadron of fighters! GOOOOO!!!"

Tekkan pointed his index finger at his defenseless opponent, proud of his comeback, as his monsters lead a full-on assault against Mike's Life Points, hoping for no surprises that would keep his victory from him.

[Blight Bug]

The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell watched as the robotic menance, which threatened both him in this game of cards but more importantly in his current quest, call forth a battleship made of school supplies. It was an odd choice to build a death plane out of, Fyodor personally thought it should've at least had some badass skeletal decals, but it was a strong threat that needed to be taken care of. This matter was even more pressing due to the fact that Deskbot Jet was activating a dangerous ability against the Revived King Ha Des.

This simply would not do.

Raising out his left arm, Fyodor shook his head, "ACCESS DENIED! ACCESS DENIED!" he droned in as much of a monotone voice as he could, "No can do tin can, because I activate my face down card. Behold! Dark Illusion!" The face down card flipped up to show Dark Illusion as the spectral being popped up to defend the Revived King Ha Des and go forth with its task.

"This card can be activated when either a spell, trap or monster effect targets a Dark Type monster, and as you can clearly see the King is truly a wicked Dark. Your monster effect is negated AND DESTROYED! Hail your new King!" Flickering in and out of reality the spectral Dark Illusion popped near the Deskbot Jet to destroy it.

[KOgaming]

@GarlandDaHero

Mike was a little peeved that his ace monster had been bounced back once again by his opponent. "For a pendulum user, you sure are afraid of pendulum monsters." Mike joked. This was, of course, before he took the full assault from all of Tekkan's monsters. At that point, he was knocked away, his shirt dirtied.

His lifepoints were knocked down to zero and with no cards in hand or in his control that could save him, Mike was down for the count, and he didn't seem to like it very much. "Votre stratégie était boiteuse, crisse." he spat in his strange, foreign tongue, very obviously peeved.

@Blight Bug

"ERROR. ERROR." the professor exclaimed as his boss monster was destroyed.

"END BATTLE. ENTER MAIN PHASE TWO. END PHASE. IT IS YOUR TURN." he declared, with no moves.

[GarlandChaos]

@KOgaming @Blight Bug

Tekkan smirked, the solid vision dissipating as he shuffled his cards back into his deck. "And another one bites the dust. ...Huh?" The youth felt a strange sensation throughout his body after he defeated Mike. It felt the same as when his ace monster resonated with his opponent's, except it seemed to enter him through the duel disk attached to his arm. He paused, recalling feeling a similar, weaker energy when he defeated Drake. "Weird...did you feel something just now, Mike?"

Just then, he felt another sharp pang of the same energy, drawing him towards a large garage-like building nearby with some sort of biker and robot in front. "Mike, there's people over there! Let's go see what's up!" The white-haired youth grabbed the other boy's hand, sprinting towards the large building in hopes of seeing some more action.

[Menhir]

The Great Garbagia ended her turn.

"...My turn, already? What blazing efficiency. You're killing me here, lady..."

The boy's voice was devoid of all enthusiasm. He rubbed the back of his neck absentmindedly as he drew a card.

"...Anyway, enough chat. It's time for you to meet my friends: First... Since he's a little hard to use right now, I'll set the scale with Mayosenju Daibak."

A pillar of green flame roared into existence behind the boy

"...Then we've got this kid, Yosenju Kama 1..."

A cloud of paper flew from the bin as a massive gust picked up, threatening to push both bins over.

"Ah... I'm gonna have to pick that up. Well, secondly, we can have him call in some family... His name is Yosenju Kama 3, let's give him a big hand..."

The boy applauded slowly and with as little enthusiasm as humanly possible while the wind intensified. When the wind died and the paper settled, standing on either side of the bin were a pair of humanoid weasels. The taller one carried a large sickle; the shorter, a knife and medicine brush.

"...Anyway; so basically... When Kama 1 has one of his siblings on the field, it can send one of your face-up cards back to your hand. Safety first; I'll be returning your Pacifis to the hand..."

Another gust blew through the battlefield, this one peeling apart the overlayed field.

"And... Now I'm just gonna hit you, okay? Well, technically, it'll be this guy, but since I'm controlling him... I mean, that's basically the same thing. Now, Daibak here, he can add an additional 300 attack points to a Yosenju monster when it battles; this means it has juuuuuust enough attack to destroy Gagagigo..."

The lizardman shattered as it was struck with the weasel's sickle, with Spiral Crash dissolving in its wake.

"...And send it's equip to the grave. Now, since 50 damage carried over, I can add a Yosenju card from my deck to my hand. For that, I'll choose..."

He tapped his duel disk, which ejected Yosenju Aman.

"...This guy. Then, I end my phase, at which point both my Kamas return to the hand. Not Daibak, though... He's here to stay."

__________

Meanwhile, elsewhere on campus...
__________

"Not so fast, baldy! I acti~vate Yosenju's Secret Move, which neg~ates and DESTROYS your Curse Transfer!"

Yosenju Tsujik stopped for a moment before retreating, made a quarter turn, and thrust its blade backwards into the face-up Curse Transfer, shattering it.

"Partner A~LWAYS tells me I'm too aggressive, but I think he's just a worry~wart, you know? Now since my cu~te little Tsujik here dealt you battle damage this turn, it activates Yosenju Kama 3's effect, allowing me to SEARCH my deck for a~ny other Yosenju card and add it to my hand. So I'm gonna go ahead and do just that."

The kid selected a card on their duel disk and showed it to Elly.

"I'm gonna go wi~ith Yosenju Kama 2. Then, during my endphase, both my monsters return to my hand, meaning I now have- eh?"

The kid cocked their head, momentarily confused.

"Hey, that's super we~ird, I don't have ANY facedowns! When I'm with partner, there's almost ALWAYS some protection up~. Is this that 'overextending' thing he talks about?"

[Blight Bug]

The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell, and a Demonic Detective still not yet able to investigate, looked upon the scene that had been crafted by both him and the automaton's clashes. It appeared that The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell had secured a metaphorical high ground that the non-compliant machine once had. Behind the helmet of The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell there was surely an expression; but of course that just between him and the Devil.

Drawing his next card, Fyodor plotted about what move he would go with next. "You just had to impede my work, you will soon be able to calculate why that was a very bad decision. Well, if you don't glitch out on me that is. The Revived King grows dull of this uninspired terrain. SO ALLOW ME TO SET THE SCENE!"

Konstantinovich did a flourish of the hand as he placed the Field Spell, Zombie World into play. A purple fog enveloped the two duelists, as Solid Vision was crafting bones, skulls, pools of blood and of course the fog into reality.

It was now time for a dash of monologuing.

"Lo did we witness the Age of Metal
Where the Automatons of Scholary Design tested their mettle.
But much like the living, so too did these machines rot.
Alack! What of our Revived King?
Ha! Fear not ye oh weak of heart!
For the Infernal Reign is Eternal!
Yet...
... This Damned Kingdom feels all too small.
A new actor shall be Summoned to play his part."

And like he said in the monologue, The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell summoned Mezuki onto the field. The monstrous zombie manhorse snorted as the Revived King Ha Des tapped his bony fingers together.

"And so did the soldier of the damned Mezuki arrive
He knew his task.
That Deskbot 006 would surely not survive
As Mezuki is quite capable with the axe."

Mezuki charged forth to attack Deskbot 006 to destroy it. Meanwhile it seemed like The Ghoulish Rider had an good opportunity after that blow. He pointed towards Furiko.

"The Revived King Ha Des looked upon the field of war
Remembering that aggression that had came before.
The machines attempted to overthrow him!
From that move, revenge he did swore.
Now for the Empire of Iron, things looked rather grim.
As Revived King Ha Des charged forth
Eager to cause ENDLESS GORE!

Fyodor performed a flourish of the arm as he took a bow, unaware anyone else other than the robot might've been watching his performance, as he sent Revived King Ha Des to attack Furiko directly.

"With that I end my turn." He declared as he arose from his bow.
