Cat rode around on Yuuris's shoulder resting up as she would trying her best to not fall off, arriving in a room full of people mostly looking at everyone in the room, she could tell what Yuuris was thinking of them... but decided to not comment on his thoughts she looked at everyone as well, they seemed to be reasonable people not that she saw much of them as she was napping before they arrived at a waiting room
she spends some time making up her thoughts, shutting her eyes in the process until her fur was suddenly brushed snapping her out of her thought bubble imagining what everyone is like "You don't need to worry, I'm okay, nice of you to think of me tho!" She sends out another mental message to Yuuris as she would prefer to not talk in front of everyone and quickly jumped off his shoulder lightening his load on the shoulder now having recovered enough to least move around properly like a cat
She recalled the girl seemed to be very much looking at her with starry eyes and approached her "Hello!" She said in the traditional Cat language hoping to least try and get to know someone, she stretched for a bit before politely sitting in front of her swishing her fluffy tail left and right

Wait cooking? man I love my cooking anime/games. especially fantasy ones. though I'm not sure if I am able to join. but the most important part is just showing interest haha.
Kaito looked at the dark dorm and smiled “Izumi? You mean the new teach? Yeah she is my older sister” Kaito responded to the question Kame but directly answered Elliots as well “She is a former champion when she attended this school best of water dorm 7 years ago, you didnt know?” Kaito asked Kame quickly before looking at Feli nodding at her pulling out a pendulum card to let her confirm
Kaito looked at Elliot after he accepted the invitation “Great, how does the mall sound? I think i need to get some supplies my pens are running out after that we could maybe hang out at the Arcade in our dorm, old man Noir for some reason doesnt mind that other students come in, he said something about arcades should be open to everyone”
Kou vs Gaku
Kou looked at Gaku, who seemed to be pumped up ready to duel consider he appeared to gesturing for him to duel “You know, that sounds like a challenge to me, I Accept your challenge!”
Gaku was pleased, “Alright, let’s get this thing going! Make your move and kick this thing off.”
Kou scratched his head “Xyz Dorm has the house rule of challenger goes first so i’d like to honor my Dorm and stick with those rules, next time we duel perhaps we will forgo that”
Gaku seemed confused. “Well that’s stupid. The challenger took the first move to challenge, so they should take the second move to play. Whatever, I’m in a good mode so I’ll go first.”
Lance seemed amused by the whole thing and shrugged to himself, taking a few steps back to watch and gesturing for everyone else to do the same.
Tina chattered away happily, “Oh this should be fun, it’s always nice seeing Gaku get fired up about his duels.”
Hiroji simply said, “Gaku I hope you know better than to lose against a rank 5 from another dorm.”
Turn 1 Gaku
Gaku looked at his hand and nodded, this would do, although frankly he still would’ve preferred it if Kuo had gone first. You can’t attack on the first turn after all. “I’ll Normal Summon Amazoness Swordswoman in attack mode and Set 1 card.”
A fierce, very spiky women appeared, looking rather displeased that there was nobody to battle, matching Gaku’s own feelings.
“My turn, draw!” Kou exclaimed and scanned his hand and considered his options. “Well let’s start simple, I Summon Bujin Yamato and set a card, then end my turn. At this moment Yamato’s effect activates! I discard Bujingi Quilin and add Bujin Hirume from my deck to my hand,”
Monster zone: Bujin Yamato 1800/200
“Your move, Gaku” Kou said to his opponent adding a come on gesture to his comment
S/T zone: 1 LP: 4000 Hand: 4 GY: Quilin
Turn 3 Gaku
“Not gonna attack? That’s no way to play. Here let me show you, even with a low attack monster you can still attack. I Summon Amazoness Princess in attack mode, then I use her effect to add Amazoness Spellcaster to hand. Next I’ll activate it, switching Yamato and Princess’s attack!”
A rather short, but feisty teenager appeared in tribal garments, waving a spear around happily.
“Now Princess, destroy Yamato for me. And when she attacks I’ll activate her effect, discarding Amazoness fighter in order to Special Summon Amazoness Tiger.”
“Hold on just a moment, I’ve got this,” Kou says as he picks up Bujingi Crane from his hand.
“I’ll discard this card to double my Yamato’s attack!” Kou declared as he discards Bujingi Crane
The spirit of the crane appeared out of thin air immediately transforms itself to become Yamato’s sword
Yamato 1200 > 2400 ATK
Yamato’s sword clashes with the spear and he quickly overpowered her. She left out a
Gaku 4000 > 3600 LP
“And with that, his attack returns to normal” Kou explained rather plainly as Yamato’s blade vanished
Yamato 2400 > 1200 ATK
“Hand traps? Those are such a pain to deal with. Swordswomen, your turn to attack.”
“I activate my Trap card, Half Unbreak, and target Yamato! He cannot be destroyed by this battle and the damage I take involving is halved,” Yamato saw the swordswoman incoming and thus braced itself for its attack but was unharmed in the end
Kou 4000 > 3850 LP
“Another trap? I guess you’re one of those defensive players, we’ll see how long you can keep that wall up, it should be fun to find out. Your turn.”
“Draw! I activate Bujingi Quilin's effect from my graveyard. This allows me to banish it, destroying Swordswoman!”
Quilin appeared from thin air and transformed itself into a blade allowing Yamato to swiftly cut down swordswoman without giving her the chance to respond
“Now to start summoning, I banish Crane in my graveyard to Special Summon Bujin Hirume! I’m not done though, because I still have my normal summon! Come out, Bujingi Wolf!”
Hirume descents from the sky with grace accompanied with bujingi wolf running up to her a few moments later
“Next up, I discard my Bujingi Ibis to make my Hirume’s attacks deal piercing damage this turn! Go Hirume, attack Amazoness Tiger!”
Ibis’s spirit immediately appeared forming into the shape of a naginata and fling itself into the hands of Hirume who swiftly struck down the defending Tiger
Gaku: 3100 LP
“And Yamato, Direct Attack!”
“Not so easily as that!” Gaku said, “I activate Amazoness Willpower to Special Summon Swordswoman from the Graveyard. If you want to keep attacking you’ll be the one taking the damage this time.”
Yamato immediately struck Swordswoman whose weapon shattered and struck Kou
“Well… I should have seen that one coming huh,” Kou jokingly responded.
Kou: 3850 > 3550 LP
“Last one, Wolf go, direct attack!” Kou declared as the wolf charged into Gaku
Gaku: 3100 > 2000 LP
“I end my turn, and with that, Yamato’s effect activates. I’ll discard Bujingi Hare to fetch Bujin Mikazuchi from my deck. Your move!”
“You’ve got a decent field set up. It’d be a shame if something happened to it. I activate Amazoness Call to add Amazoness Queen to the hand, then I Activate Polymerization to fuse Queen and Blowpiper in my hand in order to summon Amazoness Empress.”
A fearsome looking Amazoness warrior appeared, dressed in bones and green clothing that gave off a tribal feel. Fierce crimson flames shimmered around her and she held a spiked serpentine sword that seemed to have a reptilian eye glaring out from it with startling liveliness.
“Now I’ll Banish Amazoness Call from the Graveyard, Empress can now attack every monster on your field. If you’ve got any defenses left you’d better put them up.”
“This is gonna sting, but… I’ll banish Hare to prevent Yamato from being destroyed this turn,” Kou shouted as he braced himself for the following attack
“That’s a good place to start, but if you don’t have anything else this is still gonna hurt!”
A harrowing cry sounded that seemed to come from everywhere and Amazoness Empress suddenly straightened up and glared at the opposing three monsters and raised her sword, which ignited as though to match her own fighting energy. Then she strood forward and brutally swung downwards upon Bujingi Wolf, smashing his metal collar and causing him to dissipate into dust with a fleeting yelp. The resulting shockwave slammed into Kou draining his Life Points.
Empress destroys Wolf, Kou 3550 > 1850 LP
It seemed that there was not even time to blink before she was in front of Bujin Hirume, the flaming blade decapitating the light warrior and causing him to collapse. The body immolated and the scorching flames also depleted Kuo’s Life Points.
Empress destroys Hirume, Kou 1850 > 1050 LP
Yamato was left as the last one standing between his two slain allies. The Empress casually strolled up to him and impaled him through the chest, flames roaring out through it and washing over Yamato and Kuo alike, leaving both of them barely standing. Empress blew Yamato a kiss and strutted away, having left Kou’s field in shambles.
“My turn is here… but my life points are low. Seems like it’s now or never...” Kou mumbles to himself. “Here goes! Draw!”
“I summon Bujin Mikazuchi, and I’ll overlay my level 4 Mikazuchi and Yamato! With these two monsters I build the overlay network!“
“Come forth Bujintei Kagutsuchi” Kou declared as a armored Mikazuchi emerged fully armed with his sword and shield and burning wings
“Kagutsuchi’s effect discards the top 5 cards of my deck when he is summoned and gains 100 attack for each bujin card discarded,” Kou explained as he picked up the top five cards of his deck, swiftly slotting them into the graveyard. The sent cards were Bujintervention, Bujinunity, Bujingi Sinyou, Monster Reincarnation and Shard of greed.
“3 Bujin cards... that’s 300 attack!” Kou boasted to himself as the bujin cards that were discarded were sucked into the flames
Kagutsuchi 2500 > 2800 ATK
“Alright, let’s see…” Kou mumbled to himself “I send Bujingi Swallow from my hand to the graveyard to let Kagutsuchi attack twice this turn! Go, Kagutsuchi! Attack his Empress!”
“A tie? That’s not your style, don’t tell me you have another hand trap in the wings?” Gaku asked confidently.
“And with that, I also banish Bujingi Sinyou to gain attack equal to your monster’s, but the battle damage is halved for this battle!” Kou explained.
“Figures.”
Singyou appeared like the other beasts as it transforms Kagutsuchi tosses its shield on the ground as he catches the blade flying towards him
Kagutsuchi 2800 > 5600 ATK
Kagutsuchi readies its blades slashing at empress swinging one blade after the other.
Amazoness Empress accepted her fate and stuck her blade into the ground welcoming the incoming blow with open arms, the twin blades slashing her into so many pieces of light and leaving remnants of the flames that surrounded her.
Gaku 2000 > 600 LP
Kagusutchi 5600 > 2800 ATK
Kagutsuchi’s second blade vanished when it did he immediately regained his shield
“Now Kagutsuchi! Finish it!” Kou immediately declared without thinking
“You may have destroyed Empress but she can bring a replacement. I’ll use her effect to Special Summon Amazoness Queen to the field, an Amazon that never falls in battle!”
The flames left from Empress’s death that had mysteriously stayed now coagulated into a throne, upon which sat her replacement, Amazoness Queen.
“Wait… what did you just say…? Summon?“ Kou asked while declaring his attack without second thought
Unfortunately Kou didn't have the chance to recall its attack as Kagutsuchi immediately attacks the queen with its blade.
Amazoness Queen sat lazily on her throne and caught the blade between two fingers, thought the resulting impact still echoed through the air and hit Gaku who seemed unworried by the hit.
Gaku 600 > 200 LP
“I… I MESSED UP!” Kou lamented his mistake and looked at his final card in his hand “I guess I have to huh…” Kou said to himself silently “I set one card face down and end my turn.” Kou declared
“Heh, looks like this is the end, one way or the other. I’ll activate Amazoness Fighting Spirit, if my monsters are weaker, they’ll gain 1000 ATK when attacking. Now, Amazoness Queen, attack Kagutsuchi.”
Amazoness Queen cracked her knuckles and stood up, dragging her sword along the ground and standing in front of Bujintei Kagutsuchi. She raised her sword for a moment and suddenly waves of energy pulsed out from her and she seemed to increase in size before swinging upward to cleave Kagutsuchi in half.
Amazoness Queen 2400 > 3400 ATK
“I’m out of time...! My last Trap, activate!” Kou declared as the two monsters clashed their blades. Sparks flew everywhere as the two of them were locked in place, arms shaking from the pressure they exerted over each-other.
“I should have expected another trap, I guess it’s over then.”
The trap on Kou’s field glowed brightly, an explosion bursting from the field as both duelists were sent flying backwards. When the smoke cleared, both their lives dropped to 0.
Kou 50 > 0 LP Gaku 200 > 0 LP
“C-Cross… damage…!” Kou groaned out. “How… uncool…” Kou muttered to himself annoyed
“Relying on traps in every battle, what a vexing opponent.” Gaku said, displeased by the result.
DRAW
Tina cheered, “Hey that was a good fight, I think that’s the most even match I’ve seen Gaku fight.”
Lance had a neutral expression. “Hey, it was pretty back and forth I’ll give you that. I think Gaku might’ve been taking it a bit easy on you though. If that’s all you came for I guess we’ll see you around.”
Hiroji seemed vexed but didn’t say anything. After all, Gaku technically hadn’t lost. “Disappointing.” Was all he said before stalking off.
Akane seemed to have written some notes down but it was hard to tell given that she always seemed to have her notepad out and scribbling something down in it, whether or not it was about the duel was anyone’s guess.
“Alright you did pretty good, but don’t think that’s the end of this. Tomorrow we’re dueling again, and we’ll see how well that defense of yours holds up in round two.” Gaku said vigorously, having recovered very quickly from his disappointment with the duel.
“Tomorrow!?” Kou called out surprised “Well if you insist, My dorm pride will never die you know” Kou responded clearly pretending to be cool walking off to his dorm thinking to himself
While silently searching for members of the Xyz dorm, Yute comes to an abrupt stop after hearing his name called. Recognizing the voice Yute rushes up to her. “Naoki, Hey I was actually just looking for you myself. What did you want to talk about?,” he asked wondering what she had wanted with him, and making sure to keep it in the back of his head to bring up the alliance.
Naoki was surprised to hear he was looking for her. “Nothing important,’ she replied.”I was hoping we could just talk. You know, talk.” Naoki simply replied thinking of a way to transition to talking Yute into a duel.
Wanting to get straight down to business Yute decides to not bug around the question “I was looking for you because I wanted to talk about a alliance between the Wind and Xyz dorms.”
Naoki was shocked to hear that immediately “W-well... that was a sudden change of pace,” Naoki was surprised to hear that coming from someone she doesn't get to talk to often but quickly straightened up. “Sure, we can talk about that. You’re not thinking of starting one now, right?” Naoki asked to make sure Yute knew what he was getting himself into.
“While I would usually do more research for certain things like this, my group seems to think we need one immediately.” Thinking on it for a second, a brief moment of confusion washes over Yute’s face. “Wait, did you not come looking for me to talk about an alliance?” Yute asked, thinking that he might be missing something a bit important.
“I was more hoping we could get to know each other a little more... I don’t really know much about anyone, other than our own dorm and a few others outside of it.” Naoki explained, but shortly after had an idea: “But since you brought this up, why don’t you show me what you can do?” She activated her duel disk as she finished her sentence. “If you win, we’ll join up and start an alliance. If not... I’ll just decide based on your performance.” Naoki tried her best to come up with conditions that would disguise this duel as something official, rather than a duel for fun. The thrill of a duel like this did secretly excite her, though.
“Right… After this regardless of if I win or lose we’ll get to know each other,” Yute replied. Feeling nothing wrong with her terms for forming the alliance, he raises his duel disk. “ I’m vastly different than from my first year, and with the Xyz and Synchro dorms power i’ll be even better.” While his face displayed the same look he generally had, Yute was a little more excited than usual since he’d be facing off against Naoki, a number one from another dorm.
“In that case in xyz dorm we always have our personal rules of challenger goes first,which in this case oddly enough would be me,any objections to that?” Naoki asked politely
“No objections here” Yute said with a unintentional stern voice.
“Let’s get straight to the point then shall we?” Naoki said inserting one of her decks into her disk with a rather seemingly forced serious tone
Yute inserts his deck into his duel disk, only giving a slight nod to Naoki, showing his agreement.
“Duel!”
Turn 1
“My turn!” Naoki declared looking over her hand “I normal summon Marauding Captain and use his effect to special summon from my hand Level Warrior. I use them to build the overlay network! Come forth Number 17: Leviathan Dragon” Naoki chanted as the fearsome dragon appeared “I shall set a card and detach one of my overlay units to give my Leviathan Dragon 500 Attack. My turn ends with this.”
Turn 2
“Placing a ‘Number’ on the field already? I draw,” After giving the cards in his hand some thought, he grabs 3 cards from his hand. “ I set 3 cards face-down and activate the continuous Spell, Shard of Greed.” Placing each card in it’s own s/t zone a sort of gleam sound can be heard with each card being activated and set. The last card placed in the field zone, appears set at first, but then places itself face up, from the cards art a medium sized shard with a half closed eye appears, from the shard a dark purple mist slowly oozes from the green broken vase piece. “With that I end my turn.” Yute silently ponders to himself about Naoki’s next move, while also trying to keep a sort of poker face, as to not alert her to his plans.
Turn 3
“3 set cards? Well I shall see what they are soon enough,” Naoki mused at the start of her turn, drawing her card and ordering her cards in the way she would play them. “Okay first I summon Goblindbergh and Special Summon Sacred Crane and draw a card through its effect,” Goblindbergh showed up dropping off Sacred crane onto the battlefield, drawing Naoki a card “I also banish Marauding Captain to Special Summon Gigantes,” a great Red ogre appeared from the ground.
“Thats 3 level 4 monsters, i overlay these 3 level 4 monsters to summon another Number, come to me Number: 10 Illumiknight!”
From a space vortex rose a white-armored knight on a steed, sporting a rapier and three yellow orbs floating around it.
“Also I activate Xyz Gift to detach two of Number 10’s Overlay units and draw 2 cards,” Naoki declared as she drew her cards
“Battle phase! Number 10, attack directly! I’ll see what those set cards are!”
“I activate my facedown! Reinforce Truth! With the effect of this card, I special summon Hero Kid from deck in defense!” Yute raises his hand forward, signaling the call for his smaller hero. From the frame of Reinforce Truth, a long bright road appears, from this road three Hero Kids charge onto the field. “When Hero Kid is special summoned, I can bring out two more of his comrades from my deck.” Yute says in a rather defiant tone. Each Hero kid stands in their own defense stance around Yute, making sure no one can get close.
“But one of them still falls, with another soon after, I can’t let you keep those around after all.” Naoki said to Yute as one of the hero kids fell to Illumiknight’s sword getting one clean hit on the Kid
With Illumiknight’s sword closing in for the kill on Hero Kid, Yute activates another one of his facedowns. Revealing itself the trap card, Kid Guard activates. A weak barrier surrounds the attacked Hero Kid, blocking the attack from Illuminite, apon blocking the attack Hero Kid’s body burst into yellow particles that form a single card in mid-air. “I can tribute Hero kid to negate your attack, and then I can add one HERO monster from my deck to my hand.” As Yute says he can add one HERO from his deck, the yellow card places itself into his hand, having turned itself into a E-HERO monster.
“You shouldn’t underestimate me,” Yute says with a bit of disinterest.
“I never would, it just seems to be in my better interest to attack, speaking of which, Leviathan Dragon Attack one of the Remaining Hero Kids” Naoki declared
The Dragon’s mouth opens as it start to breath its watery breath on the hero kid it was ordered to attack and destroys it as all that remains were mere white shards.
Another trap on Yute’s field reveals itself, Hero Signal, from the frame of the card a signal like the bat signal shines into the sky, but instead of a bat symbol it’s the H symbol or Hero. “Using Hero Signal’s effect I summon Elemental HERO Woodsman from my deck in defense.” The signal in the sky fades, and a large deep blue hole opens up, dropping in Woodsman who takes a defense stance along side the remaining Hero Kid.
“Well, that's that. My turn ends,” Naoki declared
Turn 4
“Draw. During my Standby phase I can add one Polymerization from my deck or graveyard to my hand.” Behind Yute a rather medium sized tree emerges, from one of the branchs a single card hangs. When Yute grabs the card from the branch the branch instantly snaps into pieces. “Now I activate Fusion Substitute! I fuse my Woodsman and Hero Kid on the field!” Woodsman and Hero kids bodies turn into Dark brown swirls of energy that fly into the air. Once high enough in the air the two swirling energies crash into the ground and mix together like a blender. “Appear the Champion of the Earth itself! Elemental HERO Gaia!”. At Yute’s call a massive burst of energy happens in the center of the swirl, when the light fades from the burst, a Massive warrior made of the Earth itself emerges.
“Now I activate Gaia’s Effect! One monster you control attack is halved and he gains the lost amount, for this effect I target Leviathan Dragon.” Aiming one of it’s fist at Leviathan Dragon, Gaia’s hand makes a sort of detaching sound. Launching itself like a rocket the hand crashed into Leviathan dragon’s chest, forcing it to the ground. With a loud roar from Leviathan Dragon, Gaia drains the energy from the dragon , with it’s blue aura being seen leaving it’s body and entering Gaia’s increasing it’s attack. (2200 - 3450). “Now I summon Neo-spacian Glow Moss!”. Beside Gaia a dark hole opens up in mid-air, from the inside of the hole a monster made of Glowing energy emerges. “Next I activate NEX to tribute Glow Moss and Summon Twinkle Moss!”. Almost as if it’s undergoing some sort of evolution, Glow Moss’ body evolves into a more mature and womanly body, causing it to grow in size and power.
“Gaia attack Leviathan Dragon! Earth Shake!”. Bringing up both it’s arms, Gaia builds up it’s energy for a insanely strong attack. Gaia slams his arms into the ground, causing the ground to crack open inbetween him and Leviathan. The Dragon let’s out one final roar before falling into the massive hole, with only a massive splash of lava signaling Leviathan’s defeat. “That’s it for my turn.” With that Yute lowers his duel disk to his side, awaiting Naoki’s next move.
(Naoki LP 4000 - 1800)
Turn 5
“I draw” Naoki called out knowing her situation but didn't really seem bothered by the turn that preceded it
“Number 10’s Effect activates. I detach one overlay unit to send overlay sentinel from my hand to the graveyard to draw a card,” the knight raises his sword to the sky as Naoki declared her move and drew her card
Picking up her new card she took a second to think about her next move “I activate Xyz Shift to send Number 10 to the graveyard to special summon Number 39: Utopia!” The knight vanished as the Utopia replaced him taking his place.
“Battle phase, Number 39 attack Gaia!” Naoki declared
Utopia draws its blades and strikes down Gaia in an instant.
“I now activate my facedown, card Hi-Five the sky,” She said as her facedown revealed itself “With that Utopia can attack again, Utopia attack Twinkle Moss as well!” Naoki called out as Utopia swings at twinkle moss, destroying it.
“With that I set a card and end my turn. With that Utopia is destroyed by Xyz Shift’s effect,” Naoki explained as Utopia vanishes from the field.
Turn 6
“That’s it? Only one number appearing and vanishing?”, Yute says in a rather surprised manner. While drawing a card from his deck Yute begins to speak again. “During my standby phase Shard of Greed gains its second counter and since it has it’s second counter I activate it’s effect to draw 2 cards.” After taking a moment to analyze his hand, Yute picks a card from his hand. “I summon Elemental HERO Solidman.” Another deep blue hole opens up in the ground in front of Yute, from this a new E-HERO joins the battle, taking an attack stance that shows off his iron body.
“Through Solidman’s effect I special summon Vision HERO Vyon.” Putting both his palms into the air, a bright gleam illuminates the field from Solidman’s hands. From the now near blinding gleam emerges a HERO whose costume is more of a dark sinister tone. “ When Vyon is summoned I can send one Elemental Hero from my deck to the graveyard. For this effect I choose Necro Darkman!” From the single eye on Vyon’s helmet a medium sized soul escapes and dissapates into the air.
“Next I activate Fusion Sage, and I add Fusion from the deck to my hand, and then I activate, and fuse Solidman and Vyon!” The two HERO’s bodies become a mass of Earth energy and a mass of Dark energy, that swirls in a large vortex. “Come, Elemental HERO Escuridao!” The swirling intensifies until the circle the vortex was in becomes a dark hole, from this hole Entity whose shape seems unstable emerges. “ For every HERO monster in my cemetery Escuridao gains one hundred attack points, and now Solidman’s effect triggers, letting me summon Woodsman from my Graveyard in defense.” A faint image of Solidman appears overhead, from the center of Solidman’s chest the soul of Woodsman takes shape, along with his body returning from the cemetery. Feeling fully revitalized, Woodsman takes a defense stance infront of Yute.
“Now Escuridao direct attack! Nightmare Burst!” Rushing in for the final blow a massive amount of smoke starts escaping his body. Using the smoke, Escuridao channels it into his hand, and fires off a blast that is now engulfed in the smoke from his body.
“I activate my facedown trap, Xyz Reborn, I return Utopia from the graveyard to the field and attach Xyz Reborn to it!” Naoki declared immediately as utopia re-appeared before her “Utopia’s Effect activates, I negate your attack!” Naoki quickly declared before the attack would land as Utopia blocks the attack its wings acting as shields “I set 2 cards facedown and end my turn, show me more of your Number’s power Naoki.”
Turn 7 - Naoki
“My turn! I Draw, i set a card, and summon Cardcard D and tribute it to draw 2 cards and end my turn” the rather flat Card-like car appeared but soon vanishes to allow Naoki to draw her cards
Turn 8
“You’re underestimating me Naoki. During my standby phase I can add one Fusion Spell card from my cemetery or deck to my hand.” Shortly after drawing a card from his deck, a large tree branch grows from Woodsman’s back, placing the magic card in his hand. “Next I banish Fusion Substitute from my cemetery to return Gaia to the extra deck and draw a card. I activate Hero’s Mask, I send Elemental HERO Neos from my deck to the graveyard to change Woodsman name is Neos. Woodsman’s mask is removed, and in place of his old mask Neos mask is equipped onto him causing his body to change into a imitation of Neos.” “I activate E N Shuffle, I return Woodsman to the deck to special summon Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab!”
“Now I activate my facedown, Call of the haunted and summon Elemental HERO Neos from my cemetery!” On the field, dozens of tombstones appear, from one of the tombstones Elemental HERO Neos burst from the ground in a rather dramatic fashion. “Now I contact fuse Neos and Flare Scarab!” In the sky above, a small portal opens up, leading into another galaxy. Neos and Flare Scarab fly side by side into this portal and once they enter it together the portal explodes, letting off a insanely bright red light. It’s from this light that Elemental HERO Flare Neos is born. “ For every magic and trap card on the field, Flare Neos gains four hundred attack points.”
“Flare Neos attack Utopia! Burst Rush!” Engulfing his body in fire, Flare Neos charges towards Utopia. “I Activate my trap, Impenetrable attack, Utopia cannot be destroyed this battle phase” Naoki’s declaration was quick as Utopia endured attack “Escuridao! Nightmare Burst!” Using the same smoke engulfed blast from earlier, Escuridao launches his attack. Once again Utopia endured the attack “I activate contact out, and return Flare Neos to the deck to summon Flare Scarab and Neos from my deck!” Flare Neos body begins to distort and the energy from that galaxy breaks within him, bringing back Flare Scarab in defense and Neos in a confident attack stance. “ Now I end my turn.”
turn 9
Naoki drew her card silently and looked at her hand confidently “My turn begins. I hope you are prepared! First, when I control a 2000 or more attack monster, I can Special Summon this guy! Come, Overlay Booster!” Naoki declared as Overlay Booster flew in from seemingly nowhere, striking a pose.
“After that, I will banish sacred crane to special summon ghost ship,” Her declaration caused white mist to settle in after a few moments a worn down ship surrounded by souls and ghosts appeared from the mists before her
“And finally I Normal Summon Star Drawing which can, and will, act as a level 5 monster for my upcoming Xyz Summon!” she declared as a small fairy popped into existence drawing a star in front of it . “Now I use these three monsters to build the Overlay Network! Appear, Number 5! The immortal undead dragon, Doom Chimera Dragon!”
“Because I used star drawing to Xyz Summon, I can draw a card!” Naoki declared as she drew her card.
“Doom Chimera Dragon gains 1000 ATK for each Overlay Unit attached to it!”
Doom Chimera Dragon 0 > 3000 ATK
“Now I activate Overlay regen, which will attach itself to Soom Chimera Dragon as an Overlay Unit!“
DCD 3 > 4 Overlay Units 3000 > 4000 ATK
“Furthermore I activate Overlay Sentinel’s effect! I can Banish it to decrease Neos’ attack by 500 for every overlay unit my Dragon has! That means 2000 points!” A black wormhole opened up in the ground, the multi-layered edge of it inscribed with ancient runes. White lightning shot out and struck Neos in the chest, paralyzing the spaceman as he dropped to one knee.
Neos 2500 > 500 ATK
“Battle phase. Doom Chimera Dragon can attack all your monsters at once, Now Attack!” Naoki declared as the Dragon spew its Black flames upon Yute’s monsters.
Yute 3700 > 0 LP
“And that's the end of the duel,” Naoki said to herself before looking at Yute “Ah I don’t like lying, so I’ll be honest immediately that wasn't actually a test I um… just wanted to duel someone outside of my dorm, you are not mad or anything right?” Naoki fiddled a little bit with her fingers
“I am mad, but that wouldn’t be my reason,” Yute says with a unbreaking poker face. Rather than say anything more he just silently stares at her, pondering his loss.
“Well I’ll consider your alliance offer for now. I think I better check up on Ren though,” Naoki said to Yute before running off to Xyz dorm.
