by foxmaster


The Fires of Alfhiem

The events from yesterday’s B block final were still fresh in everyone's mind but despite all of this Team Silverwing was determined to win this final match and hopefully had a good countermeasure against the Dazzlings new powers. As Silver and his team entered the Stadium their elements began to resonate indicating Equestrian Magic was in the vicinity of their location. Silver and his friends were shrouded in some kind of magical field as if their elements were protecting them from something. As the entrance to the track came up they heard the Mc begin her announcement.

“ And now Ladies and Gentlemen the moment we all been waiting for it's finally time for the final match of the Los Pegasus Stage of our Selection circuit and our first team entering the Stadium is the rulers of Alfheim the conquerors of the skies above please welcome Team SilverWing,” The Mc shouted as Silver and his team entered the Stadium with the crowd cheering loudly for them.

“ And their opponents the Sirens of Saltlick City the songstresses of the west please Welcome Team Dazzlings,” The Mc shouted as the Dazzling entered from their side of the Stadium while singing their mind controlling melody which made everyone in the Stadium cheer for them except for Fluttershy and her friends who were also protected from their magic thanks to Fluttershy’s Element.

“ And now without further ado let's start this final match now activating the Action Field Speed World V,” The Mc shouted as the ramps and half-pipes began to materialize all around the track but what was noticeable this time was a very special addition to the field just for this match. Among certain parts of the track were some tiles with flashing arrows that were either pointing forwards or backward.

“ In case most of you were wondering in order to prepares our duelists for the hidden surprises they may face once their quest for the World Championship Cup begins each final match will include a surprise addition to the field that will test your ability to adapt to anything the host country will throw at you and for this match we added what we call speed regulators,” The Mc explained as a demonstration appeared on screen. The arrows that point forwards slightly increase your current speed and the ones pointing backward reduces your speed slightly so the challenge for this match was to keep your speed level under control because the key to being a good turbo duelist is to always maintain constant control over your runner. Your opponent will crash into you if you move too slow move too fast and you will lose control.

“ And now taking the first leg for team Silver Wing is everyone's favorite Fairy Queen Lyra Heartstrings,” The Mc shouted as Lyra took her position at the starting line hoping to bust out another impressive board like last time.

“ And taking the first leg for Team Dazzlings is the fire princess herself Aria Blaze,” The Mc shouted as Aria as indifferent as ever took her position next to Lyra. both duelists activated their runners.

“ DUEL MODE ENGAGED AUTOPILOT STANDING BY.” A computerized voice said as both duelists took off.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Aria Blaze:4000

Both duelists thought for the first corner until Aria unleashed her secret booster and rounded the corner a few seconds before Lyra thus earning her the first move as both players drew their opening hands.

“ To start things off I will activate the Continuous Spell Fire Formation - Tenki and when I activate this card it allows me to add a level four or below Beast-Warrior type monster from my deck to my hand and I think I will add Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Boar to my hand. A card pushed out of Aria’s deck and she added it to her hand before proceeding to her next move.

“ Next I will activate another Continuous Spell called Fire Formation - Tensu and this one allows me to Normal Summon a Beast-Warrior-Type monster one additional time along with my primary Normal Summon and one thing I left out about my spells each of them gives my Beast-Warrior Type Monsters an extra 100 attack points. Aria checked her hand and decided to proceed to Summon some offense.

“ Now on to my summoning phase since a have a least one Fire Formation Spell or Trap currently in play and no monsters on my field I can Special Summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Coyote from my hand. A jade green flame appeared on Aria’s field and a man wearing orange and purple armor holding a chain which turned out to be the coyote’s leash appeared out of the fire which turned into a flaming jade green coyote that growled like a real animal.

Brother of the Fire Fist - Coyote
LV:5
ATK: 2000 + 100 + 100 = 2200

“ Next I will Normal summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Bear and Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Boar both in attack mode. A purple flame and a red flame both appeared on Aria’s Field. Out of the purple flame came a big man with gold armor and a red sash spinning his pike around with the fire on the tip of it before the flame transformed into a purple boar made of fire and began to oink aggressively and out of the red flame came a muscular man wearing black red and gold armor drawing his sword and slashing the fire and making it turns into a bear made of fire that unleashed its roar.

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Boar
LV:4
ATK:1100 + 100 + 100 = 1300

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Bear
LV:4
ATK:1600 + 100 + 100 = 1800

“ Next I will tune my level four boar with my level four bear to Synchro Summon the flame of your demise,” boar spun his pike around and then he and his flame animal burst into four stars and then four green rings that encircled Bear and turned him into four stars that fell into alignment.

LV4 + LV4 = LV8

“ Flames of vengeance and hatred join together as we incinerate all those who stand against us and leave them burning for all eternity! Synchro Summon! Stand Up! Level Eight! Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Kirin!

A man with a long black beard wearing a green robe with gold trim over what appeared to be black armor wielding a long staff brandished it a Lyra as a Kirin made of black fire manifested next to him ready to fight.

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Kirin
LV:8
ATK:2000 + 100 + 100 = 2200

“ Now Kirin’s effect goes off when he is Synchro Summoned I can set a Fire Formation Spell or Trap directly from my Deck so I will set this card and end my turn for now and before I forget my Kirin reduces all your monster's attack points by 100 for each Face-Up Fire Formation card I control,” Aria said as a set card appeared behind Kirin.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her sixth card. Lyra checked her hand and felt like she had nothing that could deal with a pair of 2200 attack point beat sticks until she and Aria noticed the first Action Card of the match coming up. Both Lyra and Aria gunned their thrusters but Aria drove on to a decrease speed tile and slowed down enough for Lyra to win the Action Card and use it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Draw Dice you know what happens I roll a die and draw cards equal to the result so let's see what lady luck has for me today. A gold die materialized in Lyra’s hand and she threw it into the air causing it to expand and roll across the track before landing on six.

“ Looks like today is my lucky day I get to draw six cards. Lyra drew her six cards and smiled after seeing what she drew.

“ And it looks like my luck keeps getting better because I now have everything I need to win this in one turn. Aria was looking a bit nervous after hearing Lyra make that statement but tried her best to remain indifferent.

“ So for my first move I will Activate my own Continuous Spell Valhalla Hall of the Fallen and as you may have known from my previous duels this card allows me to Summon a Fairy-Type Monster from my hand as long as I have no monsters on my field so I will use this effect to Special Summon Guardian Angel Joan in Attack Mode. Guardian Angel Joan elegantly descended from the sky and took her position behind Lyra.

Guardian Angel Joan
LV:7
ATK:2800 - 200 = 2600

“ But that's not all I also Summon Solo the Melodious Songstress in attack mode. A red fairy with blonde hair wearing a red dress with puffy sleeves, a gold bodice, gold tassel on the hem and a purple layer of chiffon underneath sang as she pirouetted onto the field.

Solo the Melodious Songstress
LV:4
ATK:1600 - 200 = 1400

“ Next I activate the Field Spell World Tree Yggdrasil. A giant tree made of white wood began to sprout in the center of the Stadium and ripped open nine different portals with its branches linking the nine worlds to this one.

“ Ok what is the meaning of this humongous tree you planted,” Aria asked while not amused as always.

“ This tree is called Yggdrasil and is considered to be the center of the cosmos in Norse mythology but that's not the important part what this tree does is give all my Fairy-Type Monsters an extra 1000 attack points when they battle one of your monsters buts that's just its first effect its other effect is once per turn I can Special Summon a level four or below Fairy-Type Monster from my hand in Defense Mode so with this effect i Special Summon Tamtam the Melodious Diva in Defense Mode. A purple Fairy wearing Chinese style clothing carrying a crimson gong with gold trim and gold music notes on it took her position and bang the gong signaling her arrival.

Tamtam the Melodious Diva
LV:4
DEF:2000

“ Now Tamtam’s effect goes off when she has Special Summoned while a control another Melodious Monster I can add Polymerization from my Deck to my Hand. Lyra pulled her card out of her deck and proceeded to her next move.

“ Next I activate the Spell Tuner Teleport,” Lyra said as a spell with an image of Jet Synchron appearing out of a bolt of lightning appeared. This card lets me target a Tuner Monster in either of our GYs then lets me Special Summon another Tuner Monster from my Hand or Deck as long as its level is half of whatever The target’s level is so since boars level is four I can Special Summon my Level two Rising Diva from my Deck in attack mode. Rising Diva suddenly appeared out of a bolt of lightning and began to sing her melody along with Solo and Tamtam.

Rising Diva
LV:2
ATK:1200 - 200 = 1000

“ what good will any of those weak monsters do other than your Joan they can't hurt me,” Aria said still not amused.

“ Who said I was going to attack with them I have something bigger planned so for my next trick I tune my level two Rising Diva with my level four Solo and level four Tamtam to Synchro Summon my most powerful diva. Rising Diva performed her magical girl spin and turned into two stars and then two rings which encircled Solo and Tamtam turning them into eight stars that fell into alignment and created a flash.

LV2 + LV4 +LV 4 = LV10

“Song of the hero spread far and wide -- let your legendary melody bring hope to the masses and this battle’s victory to me! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level 10! Zelda the Melodious Goddess!”

Zelda began strumming her harp as she landed onto the field and prepared to fight.

Zelda the Melodious Goddess
LV:10
ATK:4000 - 200 = 3800

“ Impressive monster but she do much against me because I activate the Continuous Trap Fire Formation - Kaiyo now all my Beast-Warrior type monsters gain another 300 attack points and the ability to inflict piercing damage. Both Kirin and Coyote began to feel their power grow stronger.

2200 + 300 = 2500

2200 + 300 = 2500

2600 - 100 = 2500

3800 - 100 = 3700

“ Think again Aria Zelda’s effect not only shuts down all cards effect on your side of the field it also prevents you from setting any new cards from your hand go Ballad of Time. Zelda began strumming her harp covering all of Aria’s cards in a golden aura thus shutting down all of her power boosts.

2500 - 300 - 100 -100 = 2000

2500 - 300 - 100 -100 = 2000

3700 + 300 = 4000

2500 + 300 = 2800

“ now that I have you back to normal power time to battle Zelda Attack Kirrin with Light Bow Barrage. Zelda conjured up her golden bow and fired a barrage of arrows at Kirin. Just the arrows came halfway to Kirin both Lyra and Aria Spotted a clutch Action Card up ahead and raced for it. Just as Lyra was about to close in on the Action Card she drove over a reverse speed regulator and was forced to fall back thus earning Aria the Action Card which she used right away.

“ Looks like I'm not taking any damage but you are because I Activate the Action Spell Mirror Attack this card redirects your attack to another monster you control so Zelda is going to clip your Joan’s wings. A mirror appeared in front of Kirin and reflected Guardian Angel Joan before the arrows shattered it and sent the shards flying at Joan thus destroying her and inflicting the first dent in Lyra’s Life Points.

Lyra Heartstrings:2800
Aria Blaze:4000

“ Now that you wasted your attack what now,” Aria said while slowly smiling.

“ I set four cards face-down and end my turn,” Lyra said a bit irritated from her monster’s attack hurting her.

“ And now your Zelda’s little performance ends and my cards get their effects back,” Aria said as the golden aura faded and the flames on Kirin and Coyote roared higher.

2000 + 300 + 100 + 100 = 2500

2000 + 300 + 100 + 100 = 2500

4000 - 300 = 3700

“ My turn now I draw,” Aria said as she drew her second card. Aria felt a bit intimidated by Zelda and her 4000 attack points and noticed she drew exactly what she needed to deal with her.

“ First I Activate the Spell Wild Draw,” Aria said as a spell with an image of a jungle man standing in front of a waterfall holding a card up in the air materialized. This spell allows me to draw one card for each Beast, Beast-Warrior and Winged-Beast type monster I currently control so since I have two Beast-Warrior type monsters I get to draw two cards. Aria drew her two cards and lightly smiled at what she drew.

“ Time for Zelda to fall I Activate the Continuous Spell Fire Formation - Yoko in addition to giving my Beast-Warriors another 100 attack points when I activate this card I can target one of your cards and destroy it by discarding a Beast-Warrior from my hand so I discard my Brotherhood of the Fire Fist-Snake and destroy your Zelda. The flaming spirit of Snake flew out of the Spell and tightly wrapped himself around Zelda then squeezed her tightly causing her to scream in pain until she burst into pixels.

2500 + 100 = 2600

2500 + 100 = 2600

“ Now that your strongest monster is out of my way your wide open and now I enter my Battle Phase and have Coyote attack you directly. The man released his leash and the green fiery coyote began to pounce on Lyra until she smiled.

“ I'm not as vulnerable as you think Flame Queen I activate my Trap Dramatic Melodious Return,” Lyra shouted as a trap with an image of Zelda and four other Melodious Monster appeared out of a thick fog on stage performing flipped face up. Whenever a Monster with over 2000 attack points attacks me directly this card negates that attack and allows me to Special Summon as many Melodious Monsters as possible from my GY in attack mode. A thick fog covered the field which sent Coyote back to its master and Zelda’s harp playing along with some lovely singing voices began to fill the Stadium and all Aria could make out was a bunch of silhouettes in the fog until it cleared and revealed Zelda along with Solo, Tamtam and Rising Diva singing.

Rising Diva

ATK:1200 - 400 = 800

Solo the Melodious Songstress

ATK:1600 - 400 = 1200

Tamtam the Melodious Diva
LV:4
ATK:1000 - 400 = 600

“ But my orchestra is not finished yet because I also activate the Trap Morzarta’s Second Movement,” Lyra said as a trap with an image of Mozarta signaling a choir to sings more loudly. When I Special Summon a Melodious Monster I can Special Summon Mozarta the Melodious Maestra from my Hand or Deck. A portal from above opened and out of came Mozarta slowly falling elegantly before taking her position and adding her voice to the act.

Mozarta The Melodious Maestra
LV:8
ATK:2600 - 400 = 2200

“ Yay well it's still my Battle Phase and I will have my Kirin attack Tamtam. The black kirin made of fire charged at Tamtam causing her to look scared until Lyra activated another one of her set cards.

“ You will have to do better than that and to show you I Activate the Quick-Play Spell Accel Fusion by discarding Polymerization from my hand I can Fusion Summon during your turn with the monsters on my field so I fuse Mozarta with my Rising Diva, Solo, and Tamtam to summon a monster equal in strength to my Zelda. Tamtam waved goodbye before joining the other three monsters in the vortex.

“ Lovely queen of the symphony, Teen Superstar of magic, greatest dancer in Alfheim, Imperial daughter of the empress combine into one and bring this show to its finale! Fusion Summon! Take the stage! Level Nine! Leafa the Melodious Countess. Leafa landed elegantly next to Zelda and began to sing along with Zelda’s harp playing.

Leafa the Melodious Countess
LV:9
ATK:?

“ Do you honestly think a monster with undetermined attack points is going to make a difference,” Aria said not amused.

“ The fusion materials will determine her attack points you see for each fusion material used Leafa gets 1000 attack points so with four materials that 4000 attack points it looks like I did make a difference. Leafa began to power up as the spirits of all four monsters flew into Leafa.

0 + 1000 x 4 = 4000 - 400 = 3600

“ fine, I enter my Main Phase 2 and Activate my Field Spell Temple of The Fire Fist. A Chinese temple began to rise right in front of Yggdrasil and inside the temple was zodiac depicting each of the members of the brotherhood.

“ So you played some fancy looking Chinese building what does that accomplish,” Lyra asked.

“ Once per turn this building as you call it allows me to destroy one Fire Formation Spell or Trap and activate a new one from either my hand or deck so I will use this effect to destroy Yoko and from my deck I will activate Fire Formation - Gyokkou I can activate this card by targeting one of your set cards and stop you from activating it and my monsters keep the 100 points they would have lost when Yoko was destroyed. Also when a Fire Formation Spell or Trap is Activated I can draw one card from my Deck. Aria drew her card and decided to hold on to it till the time was right.

“ With that, I will end my turn,” Aria said as she and Lyra rounded the corner.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her third card. Lyra needed to find some way to beat Aria before whatever she has planned happens. Lyra figured Aria’s Fire Formations were the key to her plan and decided to do something about it.

“ First I Activate the Spell Melodious Music Storm this card destroys every card on your side of the field and you take 500 points of damage for each card destroyed by this effect. Lyra’s spell began to turn Kirin and Coyote into music notes and nailed Aria but the rest of Aria’s cards were unaffected.

Lyra Heartstrings:2800
Aria Blaze:3000

“ How are your Formation cards still here my storm should have destroyed them?” Lyra asked frantically.

“ There is another effect about my Temple I neglected to tell you as long as it's on the field all Fire Formation Spells and Traps cannot be destroyed by my opponent’s card effects but don,t worry you still destroyed my monsters but that does not mean I'm done for,” Aria replied.

3600 + 400 = 4000

3600 + 400 = 4000

“ We will see time to Battle Zelda attack Aria directly with Light Bow Barrage,’ Zelda summoned her golden bow and fired a barrage of arrows at Aria. Aria noticed both an action card and a speed boost pad ahead and went for them. Aria accelerated faster than before and snagged the Action Card then wasted no time in activating it.

“ I'm not going anywhere just yet because I activate the Action Spell Sonic Boom not only is your attack negated but the Battle Phase also ends. A sonic boom blocked all of Zelda’s arrows and Lyra was not taking it well.

“ Fine guess I have no choice but to end my turn with one card face-down,” Lyra said as a set card appeared behind Leafa.

“ My turn I draw,” Aria said as she drew her second card. Aria began to smile some more after seeing what she drew.

“ I must thank you for destroying my Monsters Heartstrings because you just gave me what I needed to summon my greatest weapon because since I now have exactly five FIRE Attribute Monsters in my GY I can Special Summon Pyrorex the Elemental Lord in attack mode. A fissure opened up on the track and started to unleash a geyser of magma that began to take the form of a black T-Rex made of hardened lava and still on fire unleashed a mighty roar

Pyrorex the Elemental Lord
LV:8
ATK:2800

“ And now I use Pyrorex’s effect when this card is Special Summoned I can target one monster you control and destroy it then we both take damage equal to half of that monster’s attack so say goodbye to Zelda again. Pyrorex stomped its foot and unleashed a ton of lava that went flying at Lyra’s Zelda. Lyra was not gonna go down that easily so she went for her set card.

“ Before my Zelda says her goodbyes I activate the Trap Solar Ray this card inflicts 600 points of damage for each LIGHT Attribute monster I control so since this is chain link 2 my Zelda counts so you take 1200 points of damage. Zelda and Leafa both channeled light energy in their hands and fired it at Aria before Zelda was consumed by the lava and started to scream in pain.

Lyra Heartstrings:2800
Aria Blaze:1800

“ You may have beaten me but my sisters will not be as easy especially since I'm leaving them with a good start,” Aria said as the lava burned the rest of her Life points and caused her Runner to emit smoke.

Lyra Heartstrings:800
Aria Blaze:0

WINNER: Lyra Heartstrings

“ I may be down to 800 Life Points but during the End Phase, Zelda comes back from the GY. A beam of light came from the sky and out of it came Zelda good as new.

Zelda the Melodious Goddess
LV:10
ATK:4000

“ And when she is Summoned by this effect I can add a card from my GY to my hand and I think I will take back Solar Ray. The declared slid out of Lyra’s GY slot and she placed it in her hand.

Aria drove back to her team's pit and came back to an all too eager Sonata and a patient looking Adagio. Aria passed the baton along with all the cards Aria manage to keep in play including her Elemental Lord.

“ Don't screw this up Sonata remember if we fail that lady will steal our voices for good which means we can never sing or speak again,” Aria said with a hint of fear in her voice.

“ Don,t worry Ari I got this and this line up of Spells and Traps along with Pyrorex there is no way those three will beat me plus I still have my own cards to fight them with so we are golden,” Sonata said before taking off.

“ And now Ladies and Gentlemen taking the second leg for Team Dazzlings is the always fun-loving Sonata Dusk,” The Mc shouted as the men in the crowd went nuts for her. Sonata manages to rack up a bigger fanbase than her sisters because of her bubbly personality and looks.


Meanwhile back at Sci-Twi’s House Sunset and the others were watching the final match and was impressed by how Lyra turned the tables on Aria with one card.

“ How was Lyra able to do that if Zelda was about to be destroyed?,” Pinkie asked confused by what happened.

“ It's simple Pinkie the last card activated in a chain resolves first,” Sunset answered.

“ So last is first?” Pinkie asked.

“ Yep so since Lyra used Solar Ray after Pyrorex activated its effect Zelda was able to stick around long enough for Lyra to inflict enough damage to used Pyrorex’s effect against Aria,” Sunset replied.

“ Too bad she could not get rid of Pyrorex because if she did Aria would be forced to skip her next Battle Phase,” Sci-Twi pointed out.

“ Not to mention all those Spells and Traps Aria managed to save if Sonata has a deck that uses Beast-Warriors as well then our friends will be in real trouble,” Rainbow added.

“ What kind of Archetypes specialize in that particular monster type?,” Rarity asked.

“ Well other than Brotherhood of the Fire Fist there are also Lunalights, Zoodiacs, Gladiator Beasts, and Phantom Beasts,” Sci-Twi explained.

“ Whatever Sonata is running let's hope Silver and his team can handle it,” Applejack added remembering how strong they are.

“ For now let's just watch the rest of the match and see what happens,” Sunset said.

Everyone went back to watching the duel and began rooting for Lyra to win this one too.
