Bell didn't waste any time. "I summon Elemental Hero Prisma in face-up attack and activate its effect." A humanoid figure with wings, made entirely of clear glass appeared in front of her. "I choose to reveal Blue-Eyes White Gold Dragon to send Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon to the grave." The glass angel shattered, reforming in the shape of a great dragon. "I end," the girl said. The glass dragon shattered and reformed into the winged humanoid.
Gao drew his card and grimmaced. "I summon Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger in attack mode!" he said. Almost instantly a white tiger with a horn on its head and a round topaz in its neck appeared on the field. "Next I'll set one card face down and end my turn." he said feeling a bit nervous seeing the look on Cybell's duel spirit's face as she looked at Ruby.
"Boooooring," Bell groaned, drawing. "I summon Hieratic Dragon of Gebeb then activate Elemental Hero Prism's effect, revealing Blue-Eyes Electrum Dragon to send Blue-Eyes Copper Dragon to the grave." The glass angel reformed into a smaller dragon this time. "Now Gebeb, attack that pussy cat! Prisma, direct attack!" Bell caught her opponent's eye and raised an eyebrow in challenge. "Your go," she ended. Prisma reverted back to normal.
After the dust setteled a large topaz floated in Gao's spell and trap card zone and he smiled. "That was a great move I probably should have attacked Prisma when I had thought about it." he said as he drew his card. "Allright now we get to have a bit more fun." he added. "I play Terra formimg this allows me to add Ancient City Rainbow Ruins to my hand." he says before pulling the card from his deck. "Now I'll activate it!" He smiled and looked around as the field around them changed to large pillars and stones with different colored gemstones embedded within them. "Unfortunately thats all I can really do." he says smiling and scratching the back of his head. "Your move."
"Oh god, I got matched with a loser," Bell complained to her still-oblivious spirit. "May, will you quit drooling over the pretty kitty already? Honestly, it's embarassing." She drew. "Prisma, do your thing. I reveal Blue-Eyes Yellow Gold Dragon to send one Blue-Eyes Gold Dragon from my deck to the grave." Once more, the glass hero shifted into the shape of a dragon. "And both of my monsters will attack you directly," she said, pointing across the field at her enemy. "I end," she said, looking at her opponent's remaining 2800 lifepoints as a shark would a fish.
Gao got worried quickly. He only had 2800 lifepoints and he didnt have much to work with. "Okay my go then." he said as he drew his card. "Okay then. I summon Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus in attack mode!" he said with a bit more hope in his voice as a winged white horse with sapphires embedded in its wings appeared on the field. "Thanks to its effect I can add Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth to my back row." he said as a large chunk of amber appeared next to the floating topaz. "Now go Pegasus attack Elemental HERO Prisma!" he said pointing to the crystaline monster. "With that my turn is done." he says looking at his feild and sighing.
Bell pretended to be hurt. "Oh no, not my precious monster! How could you, you brutish boy!" She broke out in a cold laugh, "Sorry, but this might sting a bit." Bell drew one card and smirked. "I'll play Dragon's Mirror, banishing Blue-Eyes Gold Dragon and Blue-Eyes Copper Dragon from my grave to summon Blue-Eyes Yellow Gold Dragon in attack position!" A sleek black dragon took to the field, its golden scales radiating cold light, and its fearsome jaw maned by many long golden barbles.
"Way to trigger my trap! Triggered Summon! Now we can both summon a level four or lower monster from our hands!" Gao said with a smile. "I choose to summon Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle in deffence mode!" he said as the small cat-like Ruby leapt forward and took on a more solid appearance. "And through Ruby's effect I can special summon as many Crystal Beasts from my back row as possible so Topaz and Amber move up in Attack mode!" he said with a glimmer in his eyes as the white tiger re-appeared next to the other two beasts and a large grey mammoth with a rounded Amber piece embedded in its forehead.
Bell checked her hand. "Too bad, I don't have any weak monsters in my hand," she said. "I guess I don't get a free summon." She didn't sound very upset about it. "No matter. I'll normal summon my Yellow Gold Dragon to gain its effect. Now, Blue-Eyes Yellow Gold Dragon, attack the kitty; the sight of it again annoys me. White Lighting Flare!" The great dragon reared back, golden flame arcing between its long barbles. An arc of white light burned from its head.
"Not so fast Amber Mammoth. Do your thing and change the dirrection to Ruby!" Gao shouted while watching the mammoth move forward and reflect the attack toward Ruby.
The white arcs formed a cage of flame around the cat. Bell yawned at her opponent's futile resistance. "Burn kitten, I have no time for you." Yellow Gold Dragon and Ruby Carbuncle both exploded into white flame. "And my dragon's also destroy a spell or trap. Thank you for oh so cenveniently leaving your field spell without its destruction immunity." White flames burned away the gem-studded ruins, returning the field to normal.
Ruby then re-appeared in Gao's back row as a floating ruby.
"Now then, Gebeb, attack the fat orange one," she added in a bored tone. The orange dragon attacked the orange mamoth, which reappeared a second later in the back row in its crystal form. "I'll set one card and end my turn," Bell said. "And oh yeah, say hello to my little friend." A pillar of white fire erupted from the center of the field, leaving Blue-Eyes Yellow Gold Dragon floating as it had been before it had destroyed itself and Carbuncle. The dragon let out a roar as it settled into its position, eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to attack.
Gao grinned and his eyes gleamed as he drew his next card. "This is turning out to be one of my favorite duels." he said as he looked at the card. "I activate the spell card Rare Value! Since there are two Crystal Beasts in my back row you pick one and send it to the grave yard then I draw two cards." He said with a hopeful look.
"Hmm, eenie meenie miney mo... I choose Carbuncle," Bell decided, mostly just to make May angry. May had been pouting ever since Carbuncle had been destroyed by Bell's dragon.
Gao's eyes widened as he drew his two cards. "Now you're in for it, I activate Polymerization! From my hand I send Elemental HERO Neos and Rainbow Dragon Allowing me to summon Rainbow Neos!" he nearly shouted as a white winged and armored humanoid decended from above floating before them. "Now I activate his effect by sending Sapphire Pegasus to my graveyard you shuffle all your monsters into your deck." he said grinning with pride. "Now Rainbow Neos attack her directly, Rainbow Barrage!" Gao shouted as the winged monster surged forward and punched Cybell his fist glowing with a multi-colored aura.
Bell recoiled, more from the gaudy lightshow than the attack. That took a chunk out of her lifepoints, that's for sure. "You'll pay for that," she said under her breath.
Gao smilled at her. "Thats my turn. I was right about this being one of my favorite duels that's the first time I've ever been able to succesfully play this big guy." he said his brown eyes gleaming with happiness.
"Good for you, now it's my turn." Bell drew one card and looked up at the radiant warrior that was in her way. "I acitvate White Lightning Fusion, sending Blue-Eyes Gold Dragon and Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon from my hand to the grave to summon Blue-Eyes White Gold Dragon onto the field in attack mode!" A huge silver dragon with four huge wings that looked more like the fins of a fish than a dragon's wings flew onto the field, still no match for the radiant knight. Not for long though. "I also normal summon it to have it gain its effect, and then I equip it with Dragon Shield." Black metallic armor covered the dragon's body, blocking any destruction effect that may come its way. "Blue-Eyes White Gold Dragon attack Topaz Tiger! White Lightning Flash!" The great dragon reared back, gathering energy in its jaws. Bell snapped her fingers, and a brillint flash lit up the stadium. When it faded, a white lightning bolt stood frozen in the air, running right through the yellow crystal beast. Then a second flash unfroze the scene, and Topaz Tiger exploded, reappering a second later in the back row as a large yellow crystal. The pale dragon roared in defiance at the radiant knight. Bell smirked, he wasn't the only one with heavy hitters, and she had more of them to chose from. "I end," she said, for once without further comment.
Gao whistled and smiled."That was a good play." he said as he drew his card. "From my hand I activate Crystal Blessing." he said as his thoughts raced. "With Ruby and Pegasus in my grave I can send them to my back row." he said as a ruby and a sapphire appeared next to the amber chunk and the topaz. Ruby now more see through floated back and meowed at Gao who smiled down at her. "Now for the fun part. I summon Neo-Spacian Grand Mole." he said as a small mole with olive green armor and silver half drills appeared on the field. "Grand Mole will attack your White Gold Dragon and by activating its effect they both return to our hand. Or in your case to the extra deck." he said beaming.
"White Gold Dragon, put that rodent in his place. Destroy it with your effect." Bell ordered her dragon like she would a servant, and it obeyed. The pale dragon's body flashed as the insolent rodent tried to send it away. Neo-Spacian Gran Mole's effect was negated, and it was destroyed and sent to the grave. "Good dragon."
Gao grinned as his mole was sent to the graveyard. "I was hoping you would do that." he said with a small laugh. "Since my Crystal Beasts are considered continuous spells while in my back row I can send one to the grave to trigger Rainbow Neos' effect." he said sending Sapphire Pegasus back to the graveyard. "Now all your spell and trap cards are shuffeled back into your deck!" he said still grinning. "And since your Dragon Shield is gone, Rainbow Neos attack her dragon!" he said pointing to the dragon in his way as the brilliant light of Rainbow Neos' attack filled the arena sending her dragon to the grave and he lifepoints plummeting downward. "Thats my turn."
"White Gold Dragon's effect activates when it's removed from the field, so I'll summon Blue-Eyes Gold Dragon in attack mode and add Dragon's Mirror to my hand. And it's my turn again." Bell chose not to add White Lightning Fusion to her hand, drawing as usual instead. "I activate Dragon Shrine, sending Blue-Eyes White Dragon and then Blue-Eyes Copper Dragon into the graveyard. And then I'll play Dragon's Mirror, removing from play Blue-Eyes Copper, Silver, and Gold Dragons to summon Blue-Eyes Electrum Dragon from my extra deck!" An enormous dragon, scales rippling from reddish copper to pale silver to brilliant gold, descended onto the field, each of its four limbs a massive wing. It matched Rainbow Neos in size, and in a moment it would match the radiant knight in power as well.
"I normal summon Electrum Dragon to have it gain its ability. By sending all of my banished cards into my grave, Electrum's attack rises to 5100. I think you know what happens now." Bell grinned wickedly, and May pretended to cover her eyes, but she peeked through her fingers. "Blue-Eyes Electrum Dragon, attack Rainbow Neos! White Lightning Storm!" The immense dragon's entire body crackled with white lightning as a giant storm cloud gathered overhead. Bell met her opponent's eyes and mouthed, "Burn." A single massive column of lightning linked the storm cloud to the glowing knight. Nothing was left of the great monster. After a moment of silence, Bell said, "I set one card and end my turn." That was her trump card right there. She was left with no cards left in her hand.
Gao wore a clearly stunned look on his face as he drew his next card, when he finally saw it Ruby meowed from his side and he smiled. "Win or lose. This is my final turn!" he called out placing the card in his hand and moving to the next card. "I activate Monster Reincarnation! By sending Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle to the grave I can add Sapphire Pegasus to my hand." he said with a smile. "Now I summon my Sapphire Pegasus and using its effect I add Crystal Beast Amythist Cat to my back row." he said with a slight smile as he looked at his hand again he froze. He had messed up and not realized that he was one Crystal Beast short. He looked up and smiled anyway. "I'm afraid thats all I can do so I end my turn here." he said trying to sound brave he looked up and stared Cybell dead in her eyes.
Bell stared right back, knowing that what she saw was resignation. No more tricks, no more outs, no more turns. She drew, not even looking at the card, but May saw that it was Burst Stream of Destruction. "Blue-Eyes Electrum Dragon, finish him," she spoke barely louder than a whisper, knowing that the speakers throughout the arena would hear her well. The black storm cloud gathered, and great dragon roared, and the attack struck true.
As all the cards and dragons and crystals faded, Bell smiled at her opponent. "That was a good duel," she said with complete honesty, holding out her hand.
Gao smiled at her and shook her hand. "For sure that was one to remember." he said with a smile. "If we ever get the chance to duel again I'll be ready for you. Just remember that." he said brushing his hair from his face.
