//------------------------------// // Final Duel: Bloodlines // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EQG Side Story: Tricks and Treats // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Hey guys?", Starlight asked. "Remember when Silver said that his master was possessing the current master of this castle? If we want to get Fluttershy back, shouldn't we try to find out how she's being controlled?" "I think I have a pretty good idea of how.", Burst said. "Inferno. You know that necklace she had that gave off that weird feeling? I think that's what's making her like this. So all we have to do is get it off her." "I got the feeling that'll be easier said than done.", Inferno said. "Chances are she's not gonna give it up without a duel." "Which is why Starlight is going to be dueling with me." "WHAT?!", Starlight shouted. "You're trusting me that much already? I don't even know if I can duel at your level!" Burst put his hand on her shoulder. "Starlight, calm down and listen to me. I know you're scared. But if you believe in your deck, then your cards believe in you. And don't worry about the pressure. Just try to enjoy every duel that comes your way.", Burst said with a smile. "How else do you think I've been able to handle saving the world so much?" Starlight gave him a small smile. "Thanks Burst. Let's do it!" The group then entered the final area of the castle. The throne room was vacant except for Flutterbat waiting for them. "You showed up.", she said with a smirk. "Isn't it rude to keep a lady waiting?", Burst asked. "Besides, we're here to get the Fluttershy we know and love back. And all it'll take is Starlight and me to do it." Burst said as he and Starlight activated their duel disks. "I'm sure you aren't going down without a fight?" "You got that right.", Flutterbat said as she activated her duel disk. Burst and Starlight: 16000 Flutterbat: 16000 "I'll be taking the first turn.", Flutterbat said. "I play the field spell Vampire Kingdom! I summon Vampire Koala! During damage calculation, all zombie-type monsters I control gain 500 attack! Unfortunately I can't attack during my first turn. Your move." "Let's light up this duel!", Burst said as he drew a card. "Nice! I play Cards of Consonance to discard White Stone of Ancient to draw two new cards! Now I'll end my turn! And since White Stone of Ancients is in my graveyard, I can speical summon a Blue Eyes monster from my deck! I summon Blue Eyes White Drag on! Take down her Vampire Koala! White Lightning!" Flutterbat shielded herself when Blue Eyes' attack hit! "That's it for my turn." Burst and Starlight: 16000 Flutterbat: 15300 "I summon Vampire Sorcerer! And since he's one the field, I can add one dark 'vampire' monster to my hand! I end my turn." "I guess I'm up.", Starlight said. "I summon Galaxy Eyes Cloudragon! Now I'll tribute him to special summon Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon from my hand! Now I summon Galaxy Knight since I control a 'galaxy' monster! Now Galaxy Eyes attacks your wizard! And Galaxy Knight attacks you directly! Photon Stream of Destruction and Galaxia Strike!" "Time to take this duel out of this world!", Galaxy Eyes said as he launched a stream of photon energy from his mouth while Galaxy Knight attacked Flutterbat directly! "I'll then set a card and end my turn." Burst and Starlight: 16000 Flutterbat: 11500 Flutterbat smiled. "You just played right into my hands! When Vampire Wizard is in the graveyard, I can banish him to normal summon a vampire monster without tributing! I special summon Vampire Vamp! And now I'll use her special ability! When she or another vampire is normal summoned, I can target one monster on your field whose attack is higher than hers and equip it to her! She then gains their attack! I choose Blue Eyes!" Blue Eyes was caught in a dark mist and placed in Flutterbat's spell and trap card zone! "Now attack him directly!" Vamp slashed right at Burst's life points! "I end my turn." Burst and Starlight: 10500 Flutterbat: 11500 "Well...only one way to end this. I play the Melody of Awakening Dragon! I discard a card to add two dragons with 3000 or more attack and 2500 or less attack to my hand! Now I'll reveal Blue Eyes to special summon Blue Eyes Alternative! Now I'll play Return of the Dragon Lords to revive Dragon Spirit of White! Now I overlay my monsters to summon Galaxy Eyes Tachyon Dragon! I detach one overlay unit to negate the effects of all face-up cards on the field and the attack and defense of our monsters returns to normal! Destroy Vampire Vamp! Tachyon Stream!" "Let there be light!", Tachyon shouted as he fired a powerful laser from his mouth! In a flash of light, Vampire Vamp was gone and Blue Eyes was back in Burst's graveyard. "I end my turn." Burst and Starlight: 10500 Flutterbat: 10500 "Bothersome dragon.", Flutterbat said with a frown. "I play Cost-down to summon Shadow Vampire! Now I activate his effect! I special summon Vampiric Dragon from my deck since Shadow Vampire was normal summoned! Now I overlay my monsters to xyz summon Crimson Knight Vampire Bram! Now I'll detach an overlay unit to revive one monster from your graveyard! I choose Blue Eyes White Dragon! Destroy Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!" "I activate my face-down card! Photon Current! This lets Galaxy Eyes gain attack equal to Blue Eyes until the end of this turn!" Photon's body glowed with a brilliant blue light as he gained Blue Eyes' attack strength! "Hope this snaps you out of it Blue Eyes!", Galaxy Eyes said before he fired his attack. When the light faded, Blue Eyes was back where he belonged. "Now it's my turn! I overlay Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy Knight to xyz summon Number 62: Galaxy Eyes Prime Photon Dragon! And since I control a Galaxy Eyes xyz monster, I can attach Galaxy Eyes Cloudragon from as an overlay unit! Now I'll attack and activate Prime's effect! By detaching one overlay unit, Prime gains attack equal to the combined ranks of all xyz monsters on the field times 200! And last I checked the total ranks were 13! This boosts him to 6600! Prime Photon Stream!" Prime let out a mighty roar as he fired a stream of pure light that destroyed Crimson Knight Vampire Bram! "I end my turn." Burst and Starlight: 10500 Flutterbat: 6400 "I play Veil of Darkness! Since I drew a dark monster, I can reveal any number of them and send them to the graveyard to draw an extra card! Now I play Soul Charge to revive two of the monsters I sent by paying 1000 life points per monster! I revive Vampire's Curse and Vampire Grace! Time to bring out my own dragon! I overlay my two monsters to xyz summon Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon and activate his effect! I detach an overlay unit to switch one monster special summoned from the extra deck on your side of the field in defense mode and end my turn." Burst and Starlight: 10500 Flutterbat: 4400 "Too bad our dragons have thick hides. And now I'm gonna bring out my best one! I play the spell card Harmony Absolute! This lets send monsters from my hand, deck or field, or banish from my graveyard to summon Blue Eyes Absolute Dragon! I'll banish Blue Eyes Alternative from my graveyard to summon Blue Eyes Absolute! Now he gains 300 attack for each monster in my graveyard ! Bringing him up to 5500 attack points! Attack with Absolute Neutron Blast!" "Prepare to meet the light!", Blue Eyes said as he fired a mighty blast! "I end my turn." Burst and Starlight: 10500 Flutterbat: 1300 "Since he was sent to the graveyard under my control, I can special summon Dragulas from the graveyard in defense mode! You might destroy him, but at least my life points are safe!" "Who said anything about destroying him?", Starlight said. "I activate my spell card! Photon Stream of Destruction! I can target and banish one monster my opponent controls! Burst! Let's end this together!" "Right!" "Light of Absolution!", Burst and Starlight shouted as Blue Eyes and Galaxy Eyes fired a massive blast of light that struck Flutterbat directly! When the light faded, Fluttershy was back to normal and so were her clothes. "Nnh. Where am I? I remember trying on that necklace and then...", Fluttershy said weakly. "Easy there Shy.", Rainbow said as she helped her up. "You weren't acting like yourself for a while." "We aren't done yet guys.", Burst said as he noticed a mass of shadows swirling together. "I think the real one behind this is about to show up." When the shadows took form, it was revealed to be a woman wearing a red dress with green hair and also noticeable was the necklace she was wearing. It was exactly like the one Fluttershy had worn. "I must applaud your skill.", she said with a smirk. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Camula. Former Vampire Mistress of the Shadow Riders." "So you're why Fluttershy was acting weird? Whip out your deck and lets settle this!", Rainbow said. "You are not worthy.", Camula said with a scoff. "Your friend who defeated her on the other hand..." "And here I thought you just wanted to duel me because of my good looks. Now that you're out in the open, I can pay you back for what you did to Fluttershy." "Then my I have the name of the duelist I'm facing?" "Burst Stream.", Burst said as the two of them activated their duel disks. Burst: 8000 Camula: 8000 "By all means. Ladies first." "How charming. I play the field spell Infernalvania! Now I summon Zombie Werewolf and end my turn." "That won't happen! I draw! Huh. This going to be over quick. I play Trade-In to discard a level eight monster in my hand to draw two new cards! Then I'll play Dragon Shrine to send a normal dragon to the graveyard! And since a normal dragon was sent, I can send another! The other monster I sent was White Stone of Legend which lets me add a Blue Eyes White Dragon to my hand! Now I play the spell card Harmony Absolute and send Blue Eyes White Dragon from my hand to my graveyard to summon Blue Eyes Absolute Dragon! Attack Zombie Werewolf! Absolute Neutron Blast! And then I'll end my turn." Burst: 8000 Camula: 3000 "I must admit that I didn't expect you to bring out such a strong monster in your first turn. But high attack points mean nothing if you can't protect him from effects! I play Tribute to the Doomed! I can discard one card and destroy one monster on your field! And now I play Mummy's Call! Once per turn I can special summon a zombie-type monster! I choose Vampire Lord! Now I'll banish him to special summon Vampire Genesis!", Camula said with a smirk as Blue Eyes was covered with mummy wrappings! But Blue Eyes Absolute broke free of his bindings with a mighty roar! "What? How is this possible?" "He's got absolute in his name for a reason. He's immune to all card effects! Looks like it sucks to be Vampire Genesis right now! End this Blue Eyes!" "Absolute Neutron Blast!", Blue Eyes cried out as he fired his ultimate attack! Genesis was destroyed in a flash of light! When it was all over, Camula was crying. But they weren't tears of sorrow. "At last...I can pass on with the rest of my kind.", she said with a smile as she faded away. "Thank you for ending my torment." And in a flash of light, she was gone. Soon the castle began to flux in and out of existence. "That's our cue to leave! Let's go!", Burst said. And the group made it out just before the castle faded away. "Blueblood. I hope the party isn't over back at your place." Blueblood smiled as he pulled off his helmet. "Master, something tells me things are just getting started!"
