Girl Power part 2
Erena stood with a smug grin visible on her face, her field consisting of Fancy HERO Sandara Darkflash, Fancy HERO Polly and Fancy HERO Charmelagne, along with the Field Spell called Fancy Tower.
Haze, on the other hand, had a very empty field and a defiant look of rage on his face.
In the CHS bleachers, the gang was amazed that Erena had got the upper hand, all the while cheering her on.
"Looks like Haze is about to meet his match." Applejack said with a smile on her face.
"Yo Haze!" Dustin called out with a smug grin. "How does it feel to be looked down upon, huh? Karma's a bitch, ain't it?"
In the Crystal Prep Bleachers, Nightingale and Quicksilver were on the edge of their seats in anticipation.
"Man, Haze is in a big bind, here!" Quicksilver said with a hint if worry.
"He better think of something!" Nightingale said, just as on edge as Quicksilver. "Otherwise, we'll lose this match, too."
Even Principal Cinch was taken aback by what has transpired.
"Not possible!" Cinch said her shock turning into anger. "This is a complete mismatch!"
"What's the matter Haze? Feeling overwhelmed?" Erena taunted. "If so, than feel free to forfeit at any time."
Haze growled before drawing his next card. Upon seeing what he drew, he had a wide smile on his face.
"You will not be smiling for long, Honjou! First, I activate Terraforming, allowing me to add 1 Field Spell from my Deck straight to my hand." Haze said as he searched his next card, finally picking the right one. "And I think I'll put it in play now. So behold the beauty of my Aethereal Paradise!"
As soon as Haze said this, the floor beneath him became a thick blanket of clouds. In addition to that, a massive corridor appeared that resembled that of Crystal Palace of Madrid in Spain
"Ooh, pretty!" Pinkie said in awe at seeing Haze's Field Spell.
"Oh my!" The commentator gasped in awe. "Looks like we have stepped into a dream."
"Oh, but this is just the opening act." Haze said with a chuckle as he revealed his next card. "Next, I activate Berry of Supremacy. So since my life points are lower than yours, I gain a 2000 life point boost."
Haze LP - 2200
"Next, I activate Foolish Burial. Allowing me to send 1 monster I choose from my Deck to the Graveyard." Haze said as he did as the card he played instructed.
"But what the point of this?" Erena asked in confusion.
"You're about to find out, right now." Haze said, making Erena worried now. "I activate the Spell Card called Aethereal Offering!" Haze revealed the card in question.
"Aethereal what?!" Erena gasped, a bad feeling setting in.
"Aethereal Offering." Haze repeated with a smirk. "Allow me to show you how it works. This card allows me to bring out any Prism Monster I want either by Tributing materials from my hand or field, or by banishing said materials from my graveyard."
"What!?" Twilight gasped in shock and horror.
"Aw shit!" Dustin gasped, worry for Erena present in his tone.
"Uh oh." Erena uttered, shaking in fear.
"Uh oh is right, Honjou!" Haze retorted with a chuckled. "Now, from my Graveyard, I banish Barrier Statue of the Heavens along with Aethereal Icarus, the monster I just sent with Foolish Burial!"
As Haze said this, two streaks of light shot from his graveyard slot and into the sky, bright light shining moments later.
"O' radiant ruler of the sky, please hear my cry. Appear before me in heavenly light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelop the field in your incandescent glow and display your might upon my foe! " As Haze chanted, a massive pillar of golden light appeared in front of Haze. "I request your aid in this game, but not before invoke your sacred name! Prism Summon! Outshine the brightest star, Level 12, 'Aethereal Olorun'!"
Once the chant was finished, the light had completely dissipated, revealing a towering new monster. It resembled led a man of African descent dressed in a uniform that is a mix of gold, white and gray, golden arm bracers, glowing yellow eyes was about one-hundred feet high.
[Ethereal Olorun/Lv: 12/DIVINE/Fairy/ATK: 4000/ DEF: 4000]
Everyone on both sides were completely stunned upon seeing this new monster on the field. But Erena's friends were more shocked and awestruck.
"Whoa nelly!" Applejack uttered to herself.
"Junping Jesus H. Christ! That thing is huge!" Dustin gasped, his eyes wide as dinner plates as Fluttershy, Spike and Emille hid behind him.
Nightingale and Quicksilver had smiles visible on their faces.
"It's about time Haze brought something that can turn the tables." Nightingale said with a chuckle.
"Oh...my...God!" Erena uttered out of fear.
"Oh, if you think he's scary now, just wait until you see what he's capable of." Haze said with a sinister grin, further adding to Erena's worry. "By banishing 1 monster from my graveyard, he prevents all monsters you control from attacking, as long as their attack points are less than or equal to the banished monster's Level or Rank multiplied by one-thousand."
"Say what now!?" Rainbow Dash asked in disbelief.
"Oh...my!" Fluttershy muttered in fear.
"And I'll use the effect banish Barrier Statue of the Whirlwinds from my graveyard. So that means all monsters you control whose attack is approximately four-thousand or less is unable to attack!" Haze said as Olorun emitted a bright glow, the light overwhelming Erena's monsters. "Fortunately for you, though, this effect of Olorun can only be used once per Duel!"
"Well there's some good news." Erena retorted with sarcasm.
"But don't think you can find your way out of this jam. For as long as my Aethereal Paradise is out, any Aethereal monsters I dish out can only be destroyed by monsters whose Levels are ten or higher, and they are immune to any effects you plan to use." Haze chuckled with a wicked grin.
"Now that is just not fair!" Emille said in protest.
"Man!" Lemon Zest said with a whistle. "Hate to say this, but it looks like Haze has this match in the bag."
"And now, it's time to bring in the pain! Olurun, destroy Sandara Darkflash!" Haze declared as Olurun cupped his hands together, a ball of light forming in them. "INCINERATING INCANDESNENCE!"
Olurun then trusted his arms forward, firing a blast of light at Sandara Darkflash.
Erena LP - 4400
Once the attack ceased, the only thing that was left was a large scorch mark where Sandara once stood.
"I'll finish up by placing 1 card face down." Haze said, a massive face-down card appearing on his field. "Let's see you find a way out of this one!"
Erena was still shocked up, but she shook it off and proceeded to her Draw Phase. She looked to the card she drew, and examined her hand, formulating a strategy.
"First I'll switch both Polly and Charmelagne into Defense Mode. Then I play Monster Reborn to bring back Fancy HERO Statica to the field in Defense Mode." Erena said as a familiar electrical heroine appeared in a flash of electrical energy. "And to next, I'll summon Fancy HERO Lucie in Defense Mode!"
As soon as Erena said that, a large flame appeared on Erena's field, and from it emerged a woman with spiked up black hair that reached to her shoulders, dressed in a red two piece uniform.
[Fancy HERO Lucie/Lv: 4/FIRE/Warrior/ATK: 1200/ DEF: 800]
"What good will that do you?" Haze said, unaware of what Erena was preparing.
"You'll see." Erena said, confusing Haze. "Now I activate Polly's effect once again. This time, sending Statica and Lucie to the graveyard."
And just like that, Polly raised her staff again, forming the familiar purple vortex, and both Lucie and Statica were sucked into it. Shortly afterwards, gouts of fire and electrical bolts emanated from the mouth of the vortex.
"Let me introduce you to one of my best mosnters!" Erena declared as a large ball of fire shot from the vortex and onto Erena's field, sparkling with electricity. Shortly after words, the fusion monster appeared.
It was a woman dressed in a red and blue leotard, a blue Visor obscuring her eyes, and wore gauntlets resembling dragon heads; one was red and the other was blue.
"Meet Fancy HERO Nova Starfire!" Erena declared as Nova Starfire struck a mighty pose.
"Truly impressive." Haze said with a nod. "But remember, with Olorun's effect, she cannot attack."
"That won't be the case for long!" Erena said, confusing Haze again. "But for my strategy to work, I'll have to get rid of that Aethereal Paradise. Luckily, I have Mystical Space Typhoon for the job"
Suddenly, a massive gust of wind appeared, making Aethereal Paradise vanish.
"Now I activate the last remaining card from my hand! Pot of Greed! So now I add two more cards to my hand." Erena said as she drew her new cards. "And don't forget, I still have Effect Recycle! And I'll use it to banish Forbidden Droplet, and activate its effect. So I'll send 1 card from my hand to negate Olorun's effects and halve his attack points until the End Phase."
(Aethereal Olurun: 4000 - 2000)
"And now with that done, Nova Starfire! Give Olurun the shock of a life time!" Erena declared as Nova Starfire charged at Olurun, a fist encased in electricity and fire ready to punch.
"You fell for it!" Haze said with a grin, and with a click of a button on his Duel Disk, his face down card flipped face up. "I reveal my Trap, Draining Shield!"
"Oh come on!" Rainbow Dash cried out as a massive energy barrier appeared before Olorun, blocking Nova Starfire's attack.
"Now not only is your attack negated, but I gain life points equal to Nova Starfires attack points!" Haze said with a sinister grin.
Haze LP - 4300
"I'll end my move by placing my remaining card face-down." Erena said as her face-down card appeared on her field.
"Goodie, then it's my move then." Haze drew his next card. "I too play Monster Reborn! And I'll bring back my Aethereal Raijin back into the fray!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared, an electric column rose from the ground, and from it came Ethereal Raijin.
"And just so your Fancy HERO Polly doesn't become a bigger headache, she'll be Raijin's first victim! Raijin, THUNDER CLAP!" Haze declared, and Raijin clapped his hands to send a barrage of electrical bolts at Polly.
"And just like that, you fell for a trap I set up!" Erena declared, tapping a button to reveal her set card. "Negate Attack!"
Suddenly, a vortex appeared before Polly, absorbing the electrical attack.
"Nice comeback!" Haze said with a smirk. "But don't forget that Negate Attack's effects last for 1 turn. So, by my next turn, your luck will run out. For now, I'll have no choice to end my turn."
"Right." Erena was ready to draw her card, her eyes closed tightly. 'This next card I pull may be my last. Regardless, I better make it count.'
Erena the hesitantly drew her next card. She looked at her card, then to Haze.
"I'll admit, you are no pushover." Erena then smirks. "But I'm afraid I'm about to ace this match."
"Huh?" Haze asked with confusion.
"I summon the Tuner Monster, Fancy HERO Micro Kosmos!" Erena said as the familiar warrior girl appeared onto the field.
[Fancy HERO Micro Kosmos/Lv: 3/LIGHT/Warrior/ATK: 1500/DEF: 900]
"Oh crap!" Haze uttered in shock, knowing where this was going.
"Uh oh." Dustin said with a grin. "Looks like Erena's about to bring out her prized card.
"And now, I Tune my Level 3 Fancy HERO Micro Kosmos and my Level 4 Fancy HERO Polly, to bring out my favorite card!" Erena declared as Fancy HERO Kosmos exploded into three green rings, each one enveloping Polly before she was encased in a column of light.
“By aligning the power of my demi-heroine of the stars and my fusion magic heroine, I invoke the legendary champion from the vast reaches of space.” Erena chanted as she reached into the Extra Deck slot of her Duel Disk, drawing the card she needed. “Synchro Summon! Shine bright, Level 7, ‘Fancy HERO Kosmos!’
The column finally dissipated, revealing Famcy HERO Kosmos in all her glory.
[Fancy HERO Kosmos/Lv: 7/LIGHT/Warrior/ATK 2500/DEF: 2000]
"Woohoo!" Pinkie, Spike and Fluttershy cheered.
"Well I'll be." Indigo Zest said with a whistle. "That's quite a comeback.
"And I haven't forgotten about Olurun's effects, so I'll use Effect Recycle's effect again. This time, I'll use it to banish Dark Ruler No More. So now your monsters effects are negated for the rest of the turn, but you take no damage." Erena declared as both Olorun and Raijin were emitting a purple aura.
Haze only scowls in response to this.
"Now then. Nova Starfire, destroy Olurun!" Erena declared as Nova Starfire's fists were encased in a combination of fire and electricity. "HOT FLASH SHOCKER!"
"Are you trying to lose?" Haze asked. "In case you haven't notice, your monster's attack points are lower than mine!"
"That's where her special ability comes in!" Erena declared, taking Haze by surprise yet again. "Whenever she attacks a monster of a higher level, she gains attack points equal to the difference in levels multiplied by five-hundred."
"Wait." Twilight brought out a calculator. "Olurun is a Level twelve and Nova Starfire is a level six. Subtract the two and it's six, then multiply that by five-hundred and that equals three-thousand." Twilight calculated.
"Then add that with Nova Starfire’s attack points, which is twenty-one hundred and you get....fifty-one hundred!?" Sunset gasped with wide eyes.
(Fancy HERO Nova Starfire: 2100 - 5100)
Then with a punch from both fists, Olurun screamed in pain before shattering to bits.
"Fancy HERO Kosmos, your turn!" Erena declared as Kosmos flew towards Raijin. "And one thing I should mention about my Fancy Tower Field Spell, when a Fancy HERO monster I control attacks a monster with higher attack points, than that Fancy HERO gains 1000 attack points!" Erena said as Kosmos emitted a bright yellow aura.
(Fancy HERO Kosmos: 2500 - 3500)
With a mighty punch, Kosmos managed to destroy Kosmos, but she vanished in the process.
"Since Kosmos and Raijin shared the same attack power, they both get destroyed." Erena said with a grin. "And I'll end it from there, seeing it would be pointless to attack you directly without inflicting damage."
Haze just stood there, completely shocked by how things how turned out. But despite this, he was not going to lose this round. "I will not submit, Honjou! Not by a long shot!'
Haze then drew his next card and examined what cards were in his hand, chuckling as he formulated a plan.
"I Special Summon the Trap Monster, The First of the Monarchs!" Haze declared as towering shadowy figure appeared onto the field.
[The First of the Monarchs/Lv: 6/DARK/Fiend/ATK 1000/DEF: 2400]
"Yikes!" The commentator announced with a shiver. "Talk about go big or go home!"
"And that's just the beginning. By discarding 1 card, I can declare 1 Attribute, than change his attribute to the attdibute of my choice. So I'll discard 1 card," Haze said discarding a card "and change his Attribute from DARK to LIGHT!"
The First of the Monarchs: DARK - LIGHT
Haze then chooses his next card. "And not only does he now become a LIGHT monster, he is treated as 2 sacrifices to summon of a LIGHT monster." Haze then chooses his next card. "And I know just who to bring out. But I'll have to pay the 500 life point cost of Ultimate Offering first."
Haze - 1700
As Haze said this, The First of the Monarchs vanished, and a small ball of light appeared in its place.
"Oh boy." Dustin said with a worried look. "I wander what hoody's up to, now."
"Looks like we're about to find out." Sugarcoat said with equal worry.
Then, the ball of light explodes, revealing a green haired man draped in a white mantle
"Say hello to Vanity's Ruler!" Haze chuckled as the new monster glared directly at Erena.
[Vanity's Ruler/Lv: 8/LIGHT/Fairy/ATK 2500/DEF: 1600]
"As long as he's n the field, he prevents you from Special Summoning anything." Haze said with a chuckle. "And while he's here, he's about to snuff your Nova Starfire out like a candle!"
Vanity's Fiend then lept into the air, and with a fling up his arms, he sent a barrage of feathers at Nova Starfire. Each feather pierced directly into her, making her scream in pain before exlpoding into tiny pieces.
Erena LP - 4000
"And with that, I'll just end it there." Haze said with a wicked grin.
"Come on, sis!" Dustin called out to Erena. "You can beat this punk!"
"You can beat him, Onee-chan!" Emille joined in.
"Got that right." Spike joined in on the cheering. Soon enough, all of her friends cheer for her.
Hearing the cheers of her friends, Erena felt a boost of confidence. She prayed that the cars she was about to pull will help her in the long run, and pulled. Upon seeing the card, she looks to Haze.
"Alright Haze, I put all of my faith in this next card! So here she is!" Erena said as she slapped the card onto her Duel Disk. And what she summoned was... a monster that looked exactly like her dressed in a magical girl uniform. "Magical Girl Erena, in Attack mode!"
"What the..." Haze declared in total shock once again.
"Did she just...." Nightingale trailed off, too stunned to finish.
"Summon herself?" Quicksilver finished for Nightingalse, just as shocked as Nightingale.
"Meet my personal favorite, Magical Girl Erena." Erena said as the monster version of herself struck a pose and winked. "And she's about to ace this Duel for me!"
[Magical Girl Erena/Lv: 4 /LIGHT/Spellcaster/ATK 800/DEF: 2000]
Haze was still stunned upon what he saw, but then began to chuckle. "Oh? And how is that going to help you? That magical girl of yours hardly has any attack points to lay a dent on my life points! Neither she or Charmelagne are strong enough to strike down my Vanity's ruler!"
"Hate to say it, but he's right." Sugarcoat said with worry. "Neither one of her monsters can hold a candle against Haze''s Vanity's Ruler."
"Yeah." Lemon Zest nodded in agreement. Charlemagne has has twenty-three hundred attack and Magical Girl Eena has 800. Meanwhile, Vanity's Ruler has twenty-five hundred."
"How can Erena top that?" Sour Sweet asked, just as confused as her friends.
"You ladies are bout to find out." Dustin said with a confident smirk.
"She may be weak now. But she won't be for long thanks to her special ability." Erena said, surprising Haze yet again. "You see, for every Fancy HERO or Magician in my graveyard, Magical Girl Erena gains an additional 500 attack points!"
"Wait, what!?" Nightingale asked, totally shocked now.
"No way!" Quicksilver declared, just as shocked.
"Hold the phone!" Pinkie said before counting with he fingers. "If my memory is correct, Erena's got twelve Fancy HERO monsters in her graveyard."
"Multiply that with five-hundred, and thats..." Twilight crunched the numbers on her calculator, gasping at the result. "Six-thousand attack points!"
"Then that means...' Haze trailed off in total shock.
"That's right! Her attack points rise to a whopping sixty-eight hundred!" Erena said as Magical Girl Erena glowed in a pink aura.
(Magical Girl Erena: 800 - 6800)
Haze was too shocked to even speak, knowing about what was about to happen next.
"Magical Girl Erena, let's win this Duel!" Erena declared as Magical Girl Erena's wand morphed into a sword, the blade of which was glowing pink.
"NIGHT OF SERENE!" Erena declared as Magical Girl Erena then leapt into the air, diving at Vanity's Emperor before slicing him completely in half.
(Imagine the dog monster as Vanity's Ruler)
Haze's monster only screaed in a mix of horror and agony before exploding in bright light. All Haze could do was look on in complete shock as his life points spun to zero.
Haze LP - 0
"Im...Impossible!" Haze uttered in complete disbelief.
"Erena Honjou. You are the victor." The jumbotron declared, making the audience erupt in applause. The only ones who didn't applauded are Quicksilver, Nightingale and Principal Cinch.
"Now way." Nightingale said with a dumbfounded expression on her face. "There is just no way!"
"Haze totally just had his ass handed to him." Quicksilver said, just as shocked as Nightingale was.
Later
Erena rejoined her group in the bleachers, bombarded with praises.
"You were amazing, sis." Dustin said to Erena, patting her back in a congratulatory manner.
"Amazing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I think you mean awesone!"
"Yeah!" Pinkie said in agreement. "Super duper awesome!"
"Truly an outstanding disappointment, darling." Rarity said to Erena. "You truly showed that ruffian what for."
"Yeah. But those monsters of his certainly were nothing to sneezing at." Appmejack said with a sigh. "But I guess that new Deck of his was not enough to win this round."
"Tell me about it." Sugarcoat said with a nod. "I thought that hooded creep was gonna ace this one."
"I never seen him use that Deck before." Erena said with a shrug. "I've seen him use various Deck whie me, Emille and Dustin still attended Crystal Prep, but that Aethereal Deck was entirely new."
"That's because it's a nrlewly released archetype." Soursweet said, much to the shock of the CHS students. "In fact, they've only been released a week ago."
"Regardleds, it did now ace him this round." Dustin said with a snicker. "The look he had when he had his ass kicked, that was priceless."
"Got that right." Rainbow Dash said, joining Dustin on the laughter.
"Heya guys." A familiar voice said. The others look to see Gilda standing. "Sorry I'm late. My motorbike broke down."
"Well, sit down and well tell you what happened so far." Spike said, and Gilda sat down.
Gilda then notices the Crysyal Prep girls. "Who've they?"
"Oh right." Dustin said. "I think introductions are inorder."
