//------------------------------// // Hatred Rising // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EG: Neo W.R.G.P World Arc // by foxmaster //------------------------------// Silver and Cinch activated their duel disks and drew their opening hands. DUEL Silver Chance:4000 Abacus Cinch:4000 “ Since this is my tower I will start,” Cinch said. Cinch looked over her hand before pulling a single card from it. First I Summon Heraldic Beast Aberconway from my hand in attack mode. A red and white dragon appeared on Cinch’s field ready for battle. Heraldic Beast Aberconway LV:4 ATK:1800 “ Next I activate the Spell Heraldry Charge by tributing my Aberconway I can Special Summon Two more Heraldic Beast monsters from my Deck in Defense Mode so say goodbye to Aberconway and from my Deck, I summon two Heraldic Beast Unicorns in Defense Mode. Aberconway vanished into a portal and out of galloped two white unicorns with purple manes and tails along with black armor that then took a defensive stance. Heraldic Beast Unicorn x2 LV:4 DEF:1600 “ Next I overlay my two-level four Unicorns to build the Overlay Network. Both unicorns turned into streams of yellow energy and entered a galaxy like portal before exploding. “ Mighty steed that inherits the genes of its adversaries gallop onto the battlefield and assist me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 8 Heraldic King Genom-Heritage!” A mask with yellow hair appeared before it began to transform into a regal looking steed with royal garb and four ponytails and then unleashed its cry. Number 8 Heraldic King Genom-Heritage RANK:4 ATK:2400 UNITS:2 “ Finally I activate the Field Spell Augmented Heraldry. A pink crest appeared and then expanded until both Cinch and Silver were standing on opposite ends of it. As long as this crest is in play Psychic-Type Xyz Monsters on the field cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells and Traps and it has another effect but I will use its other effect later but for now it’s your move. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver looked nervous since he was dealing with something he never saw before and made his move carefully. First I Summon Buster Whelp in attack mode. Buster Whelp appeared ready to help Silver however he could. Buster Whelp LV:1 ATK:400 “ When my Whelp is Normal Summoned he allows me to add a Destruction Sword card from my Deck to my hand so I will attempt to add Dragon Buster to my hand. Silver added his declared card to his hand before continuing his move. Next, I tribute my Whelp to Summon Buster Blader in attack mode. Buster Blader appeared and ready his sword. Buster Blader LV:7 ATK:2600 “ Next I activate the Spell Soldier Cloning,” Silver said as a Spell with an image of a scientist experimenting on a man appeared. While I control a face-up Warrior-Type monster I target that monster and this card becomes a Warrior-Type monster with the same Attack, Defense, And Level as the targeted monster. An explosion occurred on the field and out of it came an exact copy of Buster Blader with red armor. Soldiers Cloning LV:7 ATK:2600 “ Next I overlay my Buster Blader and Shouldier’s Cloning to build the Overlay Network. Both of Silver’s monsters turned into streams of energy Buster Blader being orange and Souldier’s Cloning being green and entered a galaxy like portal before exploding. “ Mighty seer of the future bend those who see into your mighty pupil to your will and my side! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 11 Big Eye!” Big Eye appeared and looked right at Cinch as if it were looking into her soul. Number 11 Big Eye RANK:7 ATK:2600 UNITS:2 “ How did you get a hold of Big Eye that belonged to ms. Lulamoon?” Cinch asked shocked to see it. “ While you were busy gauging my abilities I have been snatching the Numbers you used to brainwash everyone and this is just the one to help me win this duel. I may not be able to target your Number with Spells or Traps but Monster effects are another story so I will detach one overlay unit to have Big Eye take control of your monster. Big Eye absorbed one of its overlay units into its eye and began staring intently at Genom-Heritage trying to control it only for Cinch to counter it. 2 - 1 = 1 “ Nice try Mr.Chance but I saw this coming I discard my Effect Veiler to negate that effect. Cinch discarded her card and Big Eyes effect was halted before Genom-Heritage gave in. “ In that case, I enter Battle and will have Big Eye attack Genom-Heritage and since you negated Big Eye’s effects the stipulation to using its effect is also negated so it is free to attack. Big Eye charged in and was about to attack until Cinch pulled the last card from her hand. “ That won't work either because when one of my Heraldic monsters is targeted for an attack I can Special Summon Heraldic Beast Pegasus to negate that attack. A blue pegasus wearing a black mask and armor appeared and rammed into Big Eye sending it back to Silver’s side of the field before landing on Cinch’s field. Heraldic Beast Pegasus LV:4 DEF:2000 “ Fine, I end my turn with two cards face-down,” Silver said as two set cards appeared behind Big Eye. “ My turn I draw,” Cinch said as she drew her card. Cinch looked pleased with what she drew and considered if using it was a good idea or not since the chances were this move could help Silver as well. Cinch figured the risk was worth it if she got what she needed. “ I activate the Spell Card of Sanctity as I am sure you know this allows us both to draw until we both have six cards in our hand. Cinch drew her six cards while Silver drew four. Cinch smiled at the number of options she now had in her hand. Next, I activate Gemon-Heritage’s effect by detaching one overlay unit I can target one Xyz Monster you control and not only does Genom-Heritage steal that monster’s original attack points and effects but the targeted monster’s attack becomes zero with its effects negated. until the end phase. As Gemon-Heritage absorbed its overlay unit and sent its tendrils towards Big Eye Silver went for one of his set cards. 2 - 1 = 1 “ I Activate the Counter Trap Xyz Tag,” Silver said as a trap with an image of (Heroic Champion Excalibur) tagging in for (Heroic Champion Kusanagi). When one of my Xyz Monsters is targeted by the effect of one of my opponent’s Xyz Monsters this card banishes my monster and allows me to summon another Xyz monster from my Extra Deck with the same Rank so say goodbye to my Big Eye and hello to my Buster Wyvern. Big Eye vanished and in its place appeared a white dragon with green eyes along with an x shaped scar on its chest and wings as sharp as the sword it’s master wields. Buster Wyvern RANK:7 ATK:2800 UNITS:0 “ Makes no difference to me because next, I equip your Wyvern with the Equip Spell Heraldry Blast now when your monster is destroyed you take damage equal to half its attack points. Buster Wyvern was suddenly chained up and a plate with the crest of the Heraldry on it appeared. Next, I Summon Heraldic Beast Basilisk in attack mode. A chicken-lizard hybrid suddenly flew onto the field and unleashed a light cluck. Heraldic Beast Basilisk LV:4 ATK:1000 “ Next I overlay my Level Four Pegasus and Basilisk to build the overlay network. Both Pegasus and Basilisk turned into streams of energy Pegasus being green and Basilisk being orange before entering a galaxy like portal and exploding. “ Gateway to the realm of the noblest of beasts manifest before me and unleash your fury on my foe! Xyz Summon! Rise! Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch! An Icicle with a blue ring around it appeared before the ice broke and formed what looked like a gateway with a red portal and ring with a yellow 18 mark on it appeared. Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch RANK:4 ATK:2200 UNITS:2 “ I end my turn by setting two cards face-down,’ Cinch said as two set cards appeared behind her monsters. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his seventh card. Silver was about to do something until Cinch interrupted him. “ During your Stand-By Phase, I activate the Trap Heraldry Buster by Tributing a face-up Xyz Monster I control I can destroy one card on the field for each of the tributed monster’s overlay units so I tribute my Heraldry Patriarch and destroy your wyvern and your set card. Patriarch vanished and its overlay units turned into chains that were about to drag both Silver’s Set card and Wyvern to the GY until Silver reacted. “ I activate the Quick-Play Spell Heroic Dragon's sacrifice when one of my Face-Up Dragon-Type Monsters is about to be destroyed by an opponent’s card effect I can banish a Dragon-Type Monster from my GY instead so I banish my Buster Whelp to save my Wyvern. The spirit of Buster Whelp appeared and took the place of Wyvern while Silver’s set card was also dragged down. “ Also since the set card you sent to my GY was Hyper Quick! I can draw one card and if it is a Spell card I can treat it as a Quick-Play Spell. Silver drew his card and smiled after seeing what he drew. Looks like my luck keeps on going because I drew the Spell Rank-Up-Magic - Silver Force which I will use now,” Silver said as a spell with an image of the Silver Family Crest appeared. “ Now I can use my Wyvern to Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster that is one rank higher with the same Type and Attribute. Buster Wyvern turned into a stream of yellow energy before entering a Galaxy like portal and exploded. “ Mighty Dragon born from the twilight’s last glimmer and the rocket’s red glare take flight and fight for the land of the free and the home of the brave! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Take Flight! Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy! Titanic Galaxy took flight and landed right where Wyvern used to be and unleashed a mighty roar. Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy RANK:8 ATK:3000 UNITS:1 “ Silver Force’s additional effect allows me to regain 500 Life Points for each Overlay Unit the summoned monster has so since Hope Harbinger has one I gain 500 life points. Silver was covered in a silvery aura as he gained Life Points. Silver Chance:4500 Abacus Cinch:4000 “ Now that you're little attempted to beat me has failed to allow me to continue with my turn so first I pay 1000 life points to activate the Quick-Play Spell Cosmic Cyclone so I can banish your Field Spell. As soon as Silver paid for his Spell’s affect the crest on the field began to fade while the energy was being sucked into a vortex that opened up above the field. Silver Chance:3500 Abacus Cinch:4000 “ With Augmented Heraldry now out of the way I can now target your monsters with Spells and Traps again so I will do that with the Spell Dragon's Assault while I control a Dragon-Type Monster I can target one monster you control and destroy it then you take damage equal to that monster’s attack points. Hope Harbinger unleashed its fury onto Genom-Heritage and destroyed it along with most of Cinch’s Life Points. Silver Chance:3500 Abacus Cinch:1600 “ Now that your monster is out of the way time to end this Hope Harbinger attack Cinch directly with Galaxy Freedom Burst. Hope harbinger unleashed a stream of white energy that was heading towards Cinch. Just when Silver thought he won Cinch countered with her other set card. “ If you think I’m going to let it end here think again because I activate the Trap Draining Shield not only does this stop your attack I also gain Life Points equal to your Number’s attack points so that's 3000 Life Points. Cinch was covered in a green aura that raised her points. Silver Chance:3500 Abacus Cinch:4600 “ I end my turn by setting one card face down,” Silver said as a set card appeared behind his monster. “ My turn I draw,” Cinch said as she drew her third card. Cinch looked worried until she noticed something that could help. I activate the Spell Raigeki this will wipe your monster clear off the field. A bolt of lightning was about to strike Hope harbinger until it vanished and transformed into an overlay unit that Harbinger absorbed. 1 + 1 = 2 How is your number monster still alive and how did it gain an overlay unit?” Cinch asked shocked by what happened. “ For someone who claimed to have studied my moves you seemed to have forgotten some of them like for instance Hope Harbinger’s effect you see once per turn during either of our turns when you activate a spell or effect on the field not only is it negated but Hope Harbinger can attach that card to itself as an overlay unit,” Silver said only for Cinch to smile again. “ Good to know and now that I know your monster’s weakness time to exploit it First I activate the effect of Heraldic Beast Pegasus in my GY by banishing it I can target another Heraldic Beast in my GY and Special Summon it in defense mode so welcome back Unicorn. A portal opened and out of it came Unicorn taking a defensive stance. Heraldic Beast Unicorn LV:4 DEF:1600 “ Next I summon Heraldic Beast Leo in attack mode. A lion with gold armor appeared and unleashed its roar. Heraldic Beast Leo LV:4 ATK:2000 “ And now that I control two Heraldic Beast monsters I can Special Summon Heraldic Beast Eale from my hand. A blue goat with cobalt armor and longhorns appeared next to Leo. Heraldic Beast Eale LV:4 ATK:1000 “ Now to call forth my ultimate weapon I overlay my level four Unicorn, Leo, and Eale to build the overlay network. Unicorn turned into a stream of yellow energy while Pegasus turned into a stream of green energy and Eale turned into a stream of orange energy all of which entered a galaxy like portal that appeared above the tower and exploded. “ Embodiment of all my anger and fury take form and unleash all of it on to all those who wronged me! Xyz Summon! Descend! Number 69 Heraldry Crest! A demonic-looking monster began to slowly descend from the portal and stared into Silver’s soul with all of its hatred. Number 69 Heraldry Crest RANK:4 ATK:2600 UNITS:3 “ What the heck is that thing I am feeling a lot of anger and hate coming from it?” Silver asked feeling scared for the first time in his life. “ This mister Chance is the embodiment of all the anger and hatred I felt towards you when you single-handedly destroyed my life and reduced me to nothing but a worthless woman who had to do the unspeakable just to survive,” Cinch said with her monster reacting to her anger. “ I didn't ruin your life you did that to yourself when you became the type of principal I hate. The kind that forces students to succeed with cruelty and force just for the sake of their egos and bank accounts. A principal like that will most likely raise an army against themselves and that army is the very students that attend your school,” Silver said. “ Who do you think you are lecturing me on how to run a School I been doing it long before you ever uttered your first words,” Cinch said causing Heraldry Crest to radiate more. “ My father has a saying from his days at Starkwell. A man will respect you if he fears you but a man will save your life if he likes you. But you wouldn't know what that means being so bitter and heartless all the time,” Silver said. “ I have heard just about enough of your liberal nonsense you brat now back to the duel and to what my Heraldry Crest can do first when it is Special Summoned the effects of all other Xyz Monsters currently on the field are negated. Heraldry Crest unleashed a pink wave of energy that covered Hope Harbinger in sparks. “ If you Insist I activate the Trap Xyz Gamble,” Silver said as a trap with an image of Lucky Straight flipping a coin flipped face up. I can Only activate this trap when we each control at least one Xyz Monster and it allows me to flip a coin and call heads or tails if I am right I draw one card for each Overlay Unit on my side of the field but if I am wrong you draw one card for each overlay unit on your side of the field. “ Why would you ever use something that could potentially put you at risk?” Cinch asked. “ Because I believe in my luck and my friends now let's do this. A coin with Silver’s crest on the front and a skull on the back appeared in Silver’s hand and he flipped it as high as he could. As the coin began to make its descent back into Silver’s hand he caught it and placed his palm over it. Come on heads. Silver moved his palm and was a bit shocked to see he landed on the skull side which caused Cinch to smile. “ Looks like your little attempt to turn the duel around failed. Cinch drew her three cards and laughed even more after seeing what she drew. And it looks like its now my turn to turn the tables I activate the Spell Double Spell by discarding a Spell from my hand I can use one of the spells in your GY so I discard this and from your GY I activate Rank Up Magic - Silver Force but first the effect of the Heraldry Pressure I discarded when this card is sent to the GY I target one Xyz monster on the field and it loses 1500 attack points until the end of the turn. Hope Harbinger was suddenly crushed under a field of gravity which weakened it. 3000 - 1500 = 1500 “ Now time to call forth my ultimate weapon I rebuild the Overlay Network with my Heraldry Crest to call forth something more powerful. Heraldry Crest turned into a stream of pink energy before entering a galaxy like portal and exploding. “ Embodiment of my anger and hatred ascend further and evolve into an even mightier being of Hatred and unleash all my fury onto my foes! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Rise! Chaos Number 69 Heraldry Crest of Horror! A gold and purple version of Heraldry Crest appeared with red energy flowing through its body and overlay units encased by this same energy which causes Cinch’s hair to become long and spiky and her body to radiate a pink aura Chaos Number 69 Heraldry Crest of Horror RANK:5 ATK:4000 UNITS:4 “ Forget what I said about you being an evil Principal you have cleary become someone far worse,” Silver said which caused Cinch to laugh evilly. “ Say what you want but that won't change that fact I have you beat but first I believe you mention earlier that Silver Force grants 500 life points for each overlay unit the summoned monster has well I count four and that means 2000 Life points for me. Cinch was covered in the same aura as Silver was as her points went up more. Silver Chance:3500 Abacus Cinch:6600 “ Now to show you what my new monster can do since it has the original Heraldry Crest attached as material I can detach an overlay unit to target an Xyz Monster you control and steal its original attack points, effects, and name prepare to lose. Heraldry Crest of Horror absorbed one of its units and just as it was about to use its effect Silver pulled a card from his hand. 4 - 1 = 3 “ Not so fast I discard my Effect Veiler to negate those effects. Silver discarded his card before Heraldry Crest of Horror could do anything which caused Cinch to look shocked. “ You were holding an Effect Veiler this whole time why didn't you use it on the original Heraldry Crest?” Cinch asked. “ Because even if you used that effect to steal Hope Harbinger’s effect it would not help you,” Silver pointed out. “ No matter I can still do this I banish Heraldic Beast Unicorn from my GY to bring back Number 69 Heraldry Crest. The original Heraldry Crest came back ready to fight. Number 69 Heraldry Crest RANK:4 ATK:2600 UNITS:0 “ Now to rid the field of your annoying monster Heraldry Crest of Horror attack Hope Harbinger with Ultimate Dark Matter Demolition. Heraldry Crest of Horror unleashed a hand made of pink energy and used it to crush Hope Harbinger and most of Silver’s Life Points. Silver Chance:1000 Abacus Cinch:6600 “ Now to end this Heraldry Crest attack Silver Directly with Dark Matter Demolition. Heraldry Crest unleashed a hand made of dark energy and as it was about to hit Silver he pulled another card from his hand. “ I’m not going anywhere but this guy and your monsters will be when I am attacked Directly by an Xyz Monster I can discard Xyz Obritorator to not only destroy all Xyz monsters you have in attack mode but also inflict damage to you equal to those monster’s attack points looks like all your anger and Hatred became your undoing. A black meteor began to fall and struck Cinch’s field. Just when Silver though he won Cinch was still standing. Silver Chance:1000 Abacus Cinch:4000 “ How can you still be standing that should have been enough to reduce your life point to zero?” Silver asked. “ Before your meteor struck I activated the Quick-Play Spell Heraldry Retreat this returned my Heraldry Crest of Horror to my Extra Deck and its overlay units to my Deck so your finisher was off by 4000 points,” Cinch explained. “ Either way you have no more monsters so what now?” Silver asked. “ For now I end my turn,” Cinch said with a hint of reluctance. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver looked disappointed with his draw since he had no way of making a comeback right now. “ I have no choice but to end my turn,” Silver said with reluctance. “ My turn I draw,” Cinch said as she drew her card. Cinch laughed evilly after seeing what she drew. Let's see you avoid this the Spell Soul Charge I may lose 1000 life points per monster I bring back but it is worth it to finish you on my next turn so I will bring back Number 8 Heraldic King Genom Heritage, Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch, and Number 69 Heraldry Crest. Cinch began to feel the pain from her monsters coming back. Silver Chance:1000 Abacus Cinch:1000 Number 8 Heraldic King Genom-Heritage RANK:4 ATK:2400 UNITS:0 Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch RANK:4 ATK:2200 UNITS:0 Number 69 Heraldry Crest RANK:4 ATK:2600 UNITS:0 As soon as Cinch resummoned her trio of Numbers, Indigo along with Lyra and Lightning arrived to see Silver in a bind. “ This is bad Cinch has three powerful monsters while Silver barely has anything,” Lightning said. “ Let's not lose hope Silver always finds a way to turn things around,” Lyra said. “ We will see about that since I cannot conduct my Battle Phase on the turn I use Soul Charge I end my turn so go ahead and draw your last pathetic card,” Cinch said. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his third card. Silver looked at what he drew and smiled after seeing his strategy manifest before him. First I activate the Equip Spell Xyz Revival this allows me to bring back my Hope Harbinger and equip it with this card. Hope Harbinger flew out of a portal and prepared to fight. Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy RANK:8 ATK:3000 UNITS:0 “ So what even if you do destroy one of my monsters I will still have Life points left and next turn you're finished,” Cinch said. “ There is no next turn I activate the Equip Spell Silver Family Sword -KasaiŌkami this gives my Hope Harbinger an extra 1000 attack points. Hope Harbinger powered up While Cinch looked nervous. 3000 + 1000 = 4000 “ Time to end this Hope Harbinger attack Heraldry Crest with Galaxy Freedom Burst. Hope Harbinger unleashed a white flame and destroyed Heraldry Crest along with Cinch’s Life Points. Silver Chance:1000 Abacus Cinch:0 WINNER: Silver Chance Before Cinch could get back up Silver used his element to absorb all three of Cinches numbers and took back the other two elements. Silver suddenly felt something coming from Heraldry Crest and saw a prisoner chained up in what looked like a dungeon. The prisoner looked like a being made of blue energy. “ If anyone can hear me please help,” The prisoner said before Silver’s vision ended. “ Silver are you feeling ok?” Lightning asked. “ I just had a vision created by Heraldry Crest,” He said. Before Silver could tell his friends about it Shining armor and the rest of the Equine County Police Force stormed the tower and came up to the roof to arrest Cinch. “ Abacus Cinch you are under arrest for kidnapping, Running an illegal business, and robbing the First National Bank of Canterlot City,” Shining said as he slapped the cuffs on Cinch. Everyone left the tower which was going to be up for sale as soon as Cinch’s trial is over. Silver put his wig back on since he wanted to keep his pride intact. “ Almost forgot I managed to get this back for you,” Lightning said before handing Silver his Chaos Emperor Dragon back to him. “ Thanks, Lightning I do appreciate it,” he said. “ By the way Silver, I never noticed how you make a lovely looking girl do you think Turquoise can come back again sometime?” Lyra asked. “ Something tells me she will but once we get home Silver is back in control,” he said. “ How did you feel walking a mile in our heels for once?” Lightning asked. “ Strangely I liked it very much,” he said. Back in Silver’s Room Silver was discussing with his teammates what he saw from Heraldry Crest. “ A prisoner in a dungeon do you think it has some kind of connection with the Number’s themselves,” Lightning asked. “ Most likely but for now we need to focus on the World Race Grand Prix we only have a month before we find out where we are going first,” He said. “ Speaking of do you think we heard the last of the Dazzlings?” Lyra asked. “ Most likely not,” He said. After they finished talking the girls went home while Silver put his ensemble inside his closet in case he would ever need it again. Silver called it a night and went to bed.
