Chapter 78. Round 2! Coward!

5,000 Rakki ---- 4,800 Blair ---- 2,400 Alexis

Both Rakki and Blair watched in awe, seeing a monster neither had known. “I’ll use her first ability to gain life points equal to half of any of my monster’s attack!” Alexis’ life points went up again as she continued. “And because I used Cyber Angel Benten as a sacrifice, I can add a Light Fairy monster from my deck to my hand.” She quickly took out her deck, and shuffled through her cards, before taking the one she wanted, and shuffling the rest. “So now I’ll summon Hoshiningen in defense mode!” A burst of light appeared, and that light took the form of a smiling star.

Cyber Angel Natasha/Fairy/Ritual/Effect/Level 5/ Atk:1500 Def:1500Cyber Angel Natasha

Alexis smiled, knowing that this was the card she had gotten from Rakki that felt so long ago now. It helped her then for Rakki to find her before, and it was helping now to bring them together again. “Because when Hoshiningen is on the field, all Light monsters gain 500 attack and defense, while all dark monster’s lose 400 attack and defense. Just then, both Dark Valkyria, and Red Eyes curled away from the bright light.

Red Eyes Black Dragon/Dragon/Normal/Level 7/ Atk:2000 Def:1600

“Now I’ll have my Cyber Angel attack into your Dark Valkyria!” Alexis announced, much to the shock of Blair at this sudden change in the game again. She groaned as her life points faltered just under what she had gained from Alexis’ spell usage, her most similar monster card now destroyed.

5,000 Rakki ---- 5,200 Blair ---- 2,400 Alexis

“I Draw!” Rakki yelled, announcing the start of his turn, and to the surprise of both girls, as they had been too focused on one another to realize he was still playing. However, all was quiet now, as both girls stared at him in silence. Finally he looked up from his cards looking back at both girls. “When I said I was going to put an end to this…” He paused, taking a breath as he fiddled with the cards in his hand. “If I win, then I’m done with dating at school here, and I’m just gonna stick with the spirits.”

Both girls stuttered at his sudden statement, before anger soon returned to Alexis’ gaze. “What in the-!? Your solution is just abandoning the problem!? You can’t just do that!” Alexis yelled, grinding her teeth at the very idea of Rakki just tossing both her and Blair aside. “Well you don't have much of a choice. It’s my life.” He answered back with a sigh, before showcasing his card. “I activate my equip spell, Mark of the Rose. By banishing Dreamsprite from my graveyard, I can equip my mark to your Cyber Angel.” Alexis wondered when Rakki Dreamsprite was inside his grave, but suddenly remembered the cost for his Cost Down spell.

However that wonder was short lived as Alexis’ Cyber Angel Natasha moved over to Rakki’s side of the field. “With my mark, I’m allowed to control your Cyber Angel during my turn, so I’ll use her to attack your Hoshiningen.” Soon Alexis’ star card was destroyed by the very boy that gave it to her. She bit her lip in anger at Rakki’s attitude, this wasn’t what she wanted. “And finally I’ll end it with my Red Eyes, attacking you directly.” He announced, and soon, Red Eyes, began rearing his head for another attack.

However, before Red Eyes could fire his attack, he suddenly stopped. Alexis looked over in shock as Blair revealed her trap card, Negate Attack. “I won’t let you do that!” She yelled as scowled at Rakki. Blair wasn’t going to let him walk out on her, but she knew that Rakki wouldn’t lose easily. In fact the only time she saw him lose, was when he did it himself to make sure the vampire wouldn’t die from her own spell card. She stared at Alexis, and they both silently communicated a truce through their eyes as Rakki finished his turn. “I’ll set one card, and end my turn.” His hand now empty along with Alexis’.

“I Draw!” Blair yelled, and watched as Alexis’ Cyber Angel went back over to her side of the field again, Rakki’s control over the monster had faded, but the tattoo of the rose still remained. “I summon, Magical Exemplar!” A calming woman appeared on the field, gently smiling as she stood ready for orders. “Then I use Spellbook of Power to have her gain another 1000 attack points and I’ll destroy your Red Eyes Black Dragon!”

Just as she said, the woman took a red glowing book, and mumbled as the pages began flipping at untold speeds. Soon enough a ball of red energy appeared, and blew apart Red Eyes, lowering Rakki’s life points as his monster was destroyed. “What you’re thinking, isn’t solving anything Rakki! You’re not fixing anything by running away from this!” Blair screamed at Rakki’s lowered gaze, taking another Spellbook card from her deck as her Magical Exemplar's power faded. It was then Alexis’ turn, Blair not having any cards left to play. Drawing her next card, her life points raised from her continuous trap.

4,700 Rakki ---- 6,300 Blair ---- 2,900 Alexis

“I activate, Card of Sanctity, for all of us to draw up to 6 cards in our hands!” She announced, showcasing the spell card in her hand, and raising hers and Blair’s life points up to further heights.

4,700 Rakki ---- 6,800 Blair ---- 5,900 Alexis

“I’ll then activate a continuous spell, Ascending Soul! Allowing me to add a monster I used as a sacrifice for a ritual the turn I sacrificed it. So right now, I’ll use the ritual spell, End of the World!” Just as she yelled, sliding the spell inside her Duel Disk, a bright beam erupted from the device, and it pierced the clouds, way above to the heavens. “I’ll sacrifice Cyber Angel Dakini to summon the angel of destruction, the queen of ruin, the goddess of devastation! Come! Ruin! Queen of Oblivion!” It was then, that through the bright beam of blue light, did a figure appear, descending down before her feet lightly touched the ground. A large red spear in her hand, and dressed in magnificent robes, she scowled at Rakki in particular.

However Alexis wasn’t close to being done yet. While a silver light dimly glowed in her blue eyes, she felt her hands move on their own, guiding her to the path of victory, stopping Rakki from acting on his cowardice, even if she would have to smack him into reason. “And because of my continuous spell, I can bring back my Cyber Angel Dakini I used as a sacrifice, and then use my other spell, Machine Angel Absolute Ritual! I’ll use my Cyber Angel Benten and Hoshiningen from my grave as sacrifices, shuffling them back into my deck while I summon my Cyber Angel Dakini!” It was then that a statue unearthed itself from the ground, a goddess with four arms, swords in each hand. However, soon the stone chipped and cracked, before exploding off, revealing the true powers laid dormant underneath. Now standing alongside her sisters.

“Next! I summon Freya, Spirit of Victory!” Alexis watched as Rakki stumbled seeing another Duel Spirit that Alexis had found on her own. Yes, after knowing the feeling of a Duel Spirit calling out to her, she felt the same instinct as when she first given Hoshiningen. Another small spirit, that would stand by her side. Freya cheered with pom-poms. “She was another spirit I found yesterday, I was hoping to talk with you about it today… But I guess I’ll just have to show you this way!” Soon all of the Fairies Alexis had on the field gained 400 attack and defense with Freya’s helpful cheering.

Ruin, Queen of Oblivion/Fairy/Ritual/Effect/Level 8/ Atk:2700 Def:2400Ruin, Queen of Oblivion

Cyber Angel Dakini/Fairy/Ritual/Effect/Level 8/ Atk:3100 Def:2800Cyber Angel Dakini

Cyber Angel Natasha/Fairy/Ritual/Effect/Level 5/ Atk:1400 Def:1400Cyber Angel Natasha

Freya, Spirit of Victory/Fairy/Effect/Level 1/ Atk:500 Def:500Freya, Sprit of Victory

“It’s over! I attack you directly, Rakki!” Alexis yelled, and with that, all of the women charged Rakki, his field empty to defend against it.

4,700 Rakki ---- 7,800 Blair ---- 5,900 Alexis
