"Looks like I still need four locator cards.", Ace said as he looked at his locator cards. "And considering how much the number of duelists has thinned-out, I'd say tougher opponents are ahead."
"C'mon Ace! You know you've got me with you!", DMG said as she materialized fully.
"Yeah! Your deck has plenty of tricks in store!", Sonata beamed. Ace smiled.
"Thanks you two." However, the two were soon spotted.
"Ace!"
"Trixie?! You're in Battle City?"
"Where else can I show-off with my spellcaster deck?", Trixie asked with a wink.
"....Of course that's why you're here.", Ace said. "And I'm guessing you're looking to give any spectators a good show?"
"I'd like to see how Dark Magician girl fares against my magicians!" Trixie activated her duel disk.
"Well. Might as well give the audience a good show!, Ace said as people began to gather at their duel.
Ace: 8000
Trixie: 8000
"Trixie will start things off! I play Double Summon! I'll summon Double Coston and tribute him to bring out Cosmo Queen! Then I'll play March of the Monarchs! Now she can't be destroyed by card effects! I'll end my turn."
"I draw! Nice! I summon Apple Magician Girl and end my turn."
"In that case, I'll attack your monster!"
"Big mistake! Apple Magician Girl's effect activates! When she's targeted for an attack, I can special summon a level five or lower spellcaster-type monster from my hand! Then the attack target is changed to that monster! I'll summon Berry Magician Girl! Also, your monster's attack is halved! And since you're attacking her, I can switch her into defense mode and special summon a 'Magician Girl' from my deck! Come on out DMG!" Berry Magician Girl was sent to the graveyard, but DMG was summoned in her place!
"Impressive. I end my turn with a face-down card."
"Time to see what tricks I can pull off now." Ace drew his next card. "Nice! I play The Eye of Timaeus! I'll target DMG to fusion summon DMG-the Dragon Knight! Now I'll activate her effect! I'll discard a card to destroy your face-down!" A bolt of magic shot from DMG's blade! Destroying Trixie's trap card! "Now I'll take down Cosmo Queen! Dragon Knight Blaze!" Timaeus unleashed a blast of flame! Frying Cosmo Queen! "Then I'll attack with Apple Magician Girl! I'll set two cards and end my turn."
Ace: 8000
Trixie: 4200
"Impressive move! Now it's my turn!" Trixie drew her next card. "I play Cost-Down! I'll discard a card to lower the levels of all monsters in my hand by two! Then I play Double Summon to bring out two monsters at once! I summon Magician's Valkyria! Then...I'll summon out my own Dark Magician Girl!" A Dark Magician Girl wearing dark blue clothing, white hair, and purple eyes materialized on Trixie's field. "Now to give her an upgrade! I equip Dark Magician Girl with Bound Wand! This increases her attack points by 100 for each of her levels! Then I'll play Cross Attack! Since I have two monsters on my field, I can target one of them and launch an instant attack! Go Dark Magician Girl! Dark Burning Attack!" Ace winced as his life points took a hit! "Then I'll set a card and end my turn."
Ace: 5400
Trixie: 4200
"Not a bad move Trixie." Ace drew his next card. "But did you forget about DMG-the Dragon Knight's effect? I'll discard a card to destroy one card on your field! I choose Magician's Valkyria!"
"I activate my trap! Destruction Jammer! Since you activated a card effect that destroys a monster on my field, I can discard a card to negate the effect and destroy that card!" DMG the Dragon Knight's own effect bounced off a barrier! Striking and destroying her instead!
"I guess I'll end my turn with a face-down.", Ace said with a smile.
"I draw! I'll play Magical Dimension! Since I control a spellcaster-type monster, I can tribute a monster on my field to special summon a spellcaster-type monster from my hand! Also, I can destroy one card on your field!" Apple Magician Girl was destroyed! "Now I'll bring out another Valkyria!
"Since you destroyed Apple Magician Girl, I can add up to three 'Magician Girls' from my graveyard back to my hand!"
"Even so, I'll attack you directly!"
"I activate my trap! Quaking Mirror Force! This puts all attack mode monsters on your field into face-down defense mode! And their battle positions can't be changed!"
"Impressive counter. I end my turn."
"I draw! I play Dark Magic Veil! I pay 1000 life points to special summon a dark spellcaster monster from my hand! Welcome back Dark Magician Girl!"
"Hope you liked my disappearing act!", DMG said with a wink. "Now to end this with a big bang!" Ace nodded.
"I play Dark Burning Attack! This destroys all monsters on your field! Next I'll equip DMG with Magic Formula to boost her by 700 points! Then I'll summon Chocolate Magician Girl! I'll attack you directly with both of my magician girls!" Trixie cringed as her life points dropped to zero. "Good duel Trixie." Trixie handed over her locator cards.
"Heh. As expected. Looks like you've made it to the finals." Ace and Sonata smiled as Ace placed all of the locator cards on his duel disk. The location of the finals was displayed on a hologram.
"Looks like we're headed for the duel stadium. Let's go!" The two ran off to the duel stadium. Where the finals of Battle City awaited!
