//------------------------------// // Duel 1: Press Start to Begin // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 4: Cyber Duel Saga // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Ace woke up and yawned. 'Man. Battle City was crazy. Tirek and the Wicked God Cards stealing the energy of cards. Not to mention Sonata being chained up in my first duel! Then I found out Midnight Sparkle is literally living in Ice's shadow!' Ace got dressed and got ready for the day before heading to breakfast. 'But at least things have calmed down for now. I wonder if Sonata wants to do anything? I really haven't had the chance to ask her out. I guess we spent a lot of time together at Battle City, but it wasn't really a date.' Ace headed out of his door and walked down the stairs, and Midnight tackled him with a hug as soon as his feet the ground! "Mornin' Ace!", Midnight said with a smile. "Good morning Midnight. Now could you please let me go before my vision goes black-!" "Sorry! Just...really happy having a family!" Midnight released her hold on Ace letting air return to his lungs. "You hug me about as tight as Sonata", Ace said as he tousled Midnight's hair. Ace got his breakfast and sat down with Shadow in front of the TV. "Hey? Where's Ice?" "Oh! He's in the shower. Went on about a date with Indigo Zap and that he had to get cleaned up.", Shadow answered. "Midnight? Could you check up on him?" "Sure!" Midnight teleported to the bathroom door and knocked on it. "Hm. No answer. This calls for further investigation!" Midnight opened the door, and went in. Then she heard Ice singing. "Your butt is mine! Gonna take you right! Just show your face in broad daylight. I'm tellin' you on how I feel. Gonna hurt you mind, don't shoot to kill! I'm giving you on the count of three. To show your stuff, or let it be. I'm tellin' you, just watch your mouth! I know your game! What you're about! Well they say the sky's the limit, and for that's really true! But my friends you have seen nothing! Just wait 'til I get through! Because I'm bad! I'm bad! Really, really bad! You know I'm bad, I'm bad! You know it! You know I'm bad, I'm bad! You know! And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once gain: Who's bad?" "Ladies and gentlemen. The next king of pop.", Midnight said with a smirk. Ice was shocked to hear Midnight. "....How much of that did you hear?", Ice asked. Midnight shrugged. "Enough to know you know how to sing a Michael Jackson song. Ace and Shadow are waiting for you downstairs BTW." "I'll be down. Just....don't ever try something like this again. EVER." "I make no promises!", Midnight said with a mischievous smile as she teleported back downstairs and joined Ace and Shadow in front of the TV. Ace had finished eating, and got up to leave. "See you guys!", Ace said as he got his duel disk and deck. "I got a date with Sonata today!" Midnight got to thinking. "Hmmmmm." "What is it?", Shadow asked. "I just realized. You're the only one of your brothers that doesn't have a girlfriend yet." Shadow sighed a little. "ACK! I mean....I'm sure you're gonna find a girl soon!" "It's alright Midnight. But I think I just need to be patient.", Shadow said with a small smile. Ace had come downstairs, and was out the door. He then checked his phone and saw that Sonata had texted him. "Waiting @ the duel park. Time 2 duel! :)!", Ace read. "This should be fun!" Ace soon arrived at the duel park, and found Sonata waiting for him. "Hey there beautiful." Sonata smiled widely as she heard Ace. "Hi Ace! Ready for out duel date?", Sonata asked as she activated her duel disk. Ace smiled and activated his duel disk. "You know it! Ladies first." Ace: 8000 Sonata: 8000 "Hmmmm." Sonata looked over the cards in her hand. "I'll start by summoning a monster in defense mode! Then I'll set two cards and end my turn! Your move!" "I draw! I summon Chocolate Magician Girl and attack your monster!" Chocolate Magician Girl fired a blast of magic at Sonata's monster, but it's defense was too high and the attack bounced off Sonata's monster! Ace winced as his life points took a hit! "Yeah. Island Turtle's got pretty good defense!", Sonata said with a smile. "Good monster to start with. I end my turn." Ace: 7400 Sonata: 8000 "My turn!" Sonata drew her next card. "I summon Don Turtle! Now that he's been summoned, I can special summon two more Don Turtles from my deck! Now I'll overlay two of my Don Turtles to xyz summon Number 47: Nightmare Shark! Now that he's been summoned, I can attack a level 3 water monster to him as an overlay unit! I'll attach my last Don Turtle! Now I'll activate Nightmare Shark's effect! By detaching one overlay unit, a water monster I control can attack you directly! The only downside is that other monsters I control can't attack. So I'll use Nightmare Shark's effect to target himself! Razor Fin Strike!" Nightmare Shark jumped over Chocolate Magician Girl, and slashed at Ace's life points with one of his fin blades! "I know how you use your Magician Girls! Especially if they get targeted, they can halve my monsters' attack points.", Sonata said with a smile. "I end my turn with another face-down." Ace: 5400 Sonata: 8000 "You're pretty good Sonata.", Ace said as he drew his next card. "I summon a monster in defense mode!" "I activate my trap! Torrential Tribute! Since a monster was summoned, I can destroy all monsters on the field!" A huge wave washed away all monsters on the field! "Then I'll play Torrential Reborn! When a water monster I control was destroyed by battle or a card effect, I can special summon all monsters sent from my field to the graveyard and inflict 500 damage for each monster special summoned!" Ace braced himself as another wave crashed into his life points! "I guess I'll end my turn with two face-downs. Your deck is making a splash!" Ace: 4400 Sonata: 8000 Sonata giggled at Ace's joke. "Thanks! I draw! I play Double Summon! I'll bring out two of my favorite monsters! Gagagigo and Jellyfish!" "Hey Sonata!", Gagagigo greeted. Jellyfish floated over to Sonata and nuzzled her. "He he! Nice to see you two! Now for the fun part! I overlay Island Turtle, Jellyfish, and Gagagigo to xyz summon Gagagigo the Risen!" Gagagigo stood on the field wearing majestic-looking armor. "Attack him directly!" Gagagigo charged at Ace, but he had prepared! "I activate my trap! Magic Cylinder! When one of your monsters declares an attack, I can target that monster and negate the attack! Then you take your monster's attack points as damage!" Gagagigo's attack went in one cylinder, and shot back at Sonata through the other! "I guess I'll end my turn.", Sonata said with a smile. Ace: 4400 Sonata: 5050 "I draw! I play Dark Magic Veil! I pay 1000 life points to special summon a dark spellcaster-type monster from my hand or graveyard! I'll bring out Dark Magician Girl from my hand!" Dark Magician Girl jumped out of a portal! "Now I play The Eye of Timaeus! I'll target DMG with it to fusion summon DMG the Dragon Knight!" Dark Magician Girl was then clad in armor and riding Timaeus! "Now I'll discard a card to target and destroy one monster you control! I'll get rid of Nightmare Shark!" A bolt of magic from DMG's sword struck down Nightmare Shark! "Now I'll attack Gagagigo the Risen! Then I'll activate my face-down! Battle Fusion! Since DMG the Dragon Knight's a fusion monster, she gains your monster's attack points until the end of the damage step! I'll target Gagagigo the Risen!" Gagagigo the Risen was incinerated by Timaeus's flame breath! "I end my turn with a face-down." Ace: 4400 Sonata: 2450 "Not bad Ace! But it's my turn now! I draw! I summon Raging Eria! And since she's a spellcaster, I can special summon Jigabyte from my hand! Now I'll overlay my two monsters! I xyz summon Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark!" "I activate DMG the Dragon's Knight's effect! I'll discard a card to destroy a face-up card you control!" "No you don't! I activate Destruction Jammer! When you activate a card effect that destroys a monster on the field, I can discard a card to destroy that card!" DMG the Dragon Knight's own bolt of magic was sent flying back at her! Destroying her! "Now I'll attack you directly!" Hope Woven shot a beam of water elemental energy at Ace's life points! "I end my turn." Ace: 1800 Sonata: 2450 "Not bad!" Ace drew his next card. "I play Raigeki to destroy all monsters on your field and summon Berry Magician Girl!" A massive thunder bolt wiped out Sonata's field! "Now Hope Woven's effect activates! When he's destroyed, I can special summon one other monster in my graveyard! I'll bring back Gagagigo!" "I activate my trap! Dark Renewal! Since you special summoned a monster and I controlled a spellcater-type monster, I can send both to the graveyard to special summon a dark spellcaster type monster from my deck or graveyard! I'll bring out another Dark Magician Girl from my deck!" Dark Magician Girl popped out of a capsule! "Hope you liked the disappearing act!", Dark Magician Girl said with a wink. " Now I'll discard Kiwi Magician Girl! Now all Magician Girls on my field gain 300 attack and defense for each 'Magician Girl' monster in my graveyard or on my field! with different names! Now DMG is boosted by 1200 points! Also, you can't target my monsters with card effects or destroy them with card effects for this turn! Let's finish this!" "Dark Burning Attack!", DMG cried out as she fired a blast of magic at Sonata! Wiping out the last of her life points! "You gave a pretty good duel Sonata.", Ace said with a smile as he walked over to Sonata. Sonata blushed, then looked Ace in his eyes. "Ace?" "Yeah?" Sonata hugged Ace tightly. "Thank you." "For what?" "....For everything." Sonata teared up a little. "You gave me a reason to stay here. Even when we were beaten at the Battle of the Bands....and I still thought you were just another guy under our spell. And you gave me my voice back." Ace returned Sonata's hug. "Didn't you know? I was under your spell before you even sang." The two shared a kiss, and both smiled as they pulled out of it. "Now how about we pay Pinkie a visit at Sugar Cube Corner?" Sonata beamed. "Sounds sweet. Literally." The couple walked off and went to satisfy their sweet tooth.
