//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Sci-Fi Fairy Tales // Story: Dueling Dash and the tounament at Bedlam's End // by awkwardGardener //------------------------------// - -Author's note: I have had this stuck at, "Oh, come on!" For more than a month now. I decided to just and add a few lines and call it a chapter. I'm also working on another story, but I can't post it on Fimfiction yet due to a current lack of ponies. I'm not done with this story though.- - Draw Phase, Turn 4 Life Points: Vinyl Scratch: 4000 Lyra: 4000 Vinyl went first. “Alright! Let's make this happen!” She tapped something in her pocket and music started play from her headphones. She then drew a card. “I'm gonna set two cards face down and summon my Morphtronic Boomboxen in attack position.” A small stereo appeared on the field. A moment later it transformed into a small robot. Morphtronic Boomboxen, Level: 4, Attack: 1200 Vinyl ended her turn, and Lyra drew a card to begin her's. Lyra looked at her hand, a smile never leaving her face. “I'll play the field card The Sanctuary in the Sky.” A large Greek styled temple appeared above the field. It radiated a faint aura of light as the ceiling of the dome faded away behind a holographic sky. The entire room was transformed into a stadium floating miles above a holographic earth. “Oh my. Trixie was not expecting something this sophisticated.” Trixie stated as everyone looked around, dumbfounded looks on their faces. Lyra stood still for a moment, as if her mind was trying to process the fact that she was now in a floating coliseum instead of a large dome. It even had some kind of breeze for environmental effect. She snapped back into focus and continued her turn. “Uh, okay. Now I'll discard my Hecatrice from my hand to get Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen from my deck and add it to my hand, then I think I'll play it. With Valhalla if I control no monsters, I can special summon one Fairy type monster from my hand. Since I don't have any monsters, I'll special summon my Shining Angel. Next I play Cost Down, making the star count of all monsters in my hand decrease by two. I release my Shining Angel to tribute summon my Angel 07.” A column of light appeared as a large, shining being descended to the field. It looked more machine than angel, but it shined with the heavenly brilliance of a celestial being. Angel 07, Level: 7, Attack: 2500 “Since it was tribute summoned, Angel 07 prevents the activation of all monster effects. Now I enter my battle phase. Angel 07, destroy her Boomboxen!” Lyra shouted and pointed dramatically. The Angel barely moved. Its attack consisted of a beam of light firing from the lens on its forehead. The robot never stood a chance. Vinyl reacted, “I activate Defense Draw! I negate the damage from that battle and draw one card.” She drew one card. “Oh well.” Lyra said to her self, “ I'll just have to hit her harder next turn. I set one card face down and end my turn.” “My move.” Vinyl drew a card, “I'll start by playing Morphtronic Accelerator. I return one Morphtronic monster in my hand to the deck, I'll choose my Celfon. Now I can destroy one card one the field, your Angel 07 to be exact.” A small, futuristic engine appeared. It revved up and flew at the Angel and collided with its torso, exploding on impact. When the smoke cleared neither of them remained. “Now I get to draw one card.” Vinyl smiled, Lyra frowned. “Now I summon my Morphtronic Radion, in attack position. Radion's effect gives my Morphtronic monsters 800 extra attack power.” Morphtronic Radion, Level: 4, Attack: 1800 Vinyl smiled as her head bobbed to the beat of her music. “Since you just so happen to be wide open, I'll attack you directly with Radion.” Life Points: Lyra: 2200 “I end my turn by setting one face down. Your move kid.” Lyra drew her card. She examined the new card to make sure she knew what it did. “I summon The Agent of Mystery – Earth, in attack position. With her effect I add Master Hyperion from my deck to my hand.” She started grinning again. “I remove my Agent of Mystery from play to special summon Master Hyperion!” There was a flash of light in the sky. A large mass of fire came hurtling down to the field, but stopped just before it made impact. A man stood within the inferno, wearing an ancient, yet elegant looking robe. An equally elegant mask hid his face from view. Master Hyperion, shrouded in his cloak of flames, held his hand to the sky. The holographic sun became eclipsed, leaving only the light from the Sanctuary and Hyperion's own flames. Master Hyperion, Level: 8, Attack: 2700 “I'll activate Hyperion's effect. By removing one Light Fairy type monster in my graveyard from play, I can destroy one card on the field. Since Sanctuary in the Sky is on the field, I can use his effect twice per turn. I remove my Shining Angel from play to destroy your Radion. Then I'll remove my Angel 07 to destroy one of your face down cards.” Fire engulfed Radion and the face down, destroying them almost instantly. Now it was Vinyl's turn to frown. “Now I can hit you head on! Master Hyperion, attack her-” Vinyl interjected, “Guess who has another face down.” She smiled mockingly. “I activate the trap card Morphtronic Scramble! I negate your attack and special summon one Morphtronic monster from my hand. I special summon my Morphtronic Boarden, in defense position.” Morphtronic Boarden, Level: 3, Defense: 1800 “Oh, come on!” Lyra yelled. Vinyl continued to smile. “Are you done?” She asked. Lyra looked down at her hand, but realized that she couldn't do anything but end her turn. “Yeah... I'm done. Your turn” She bowed her head as Vinyl drew a card. End Phase, Turn 4
