Chapter 36: Winged Fury

Author's Note:

This chapter's featured card: Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights

Effect Monster Level: 10 ATK: ? DEF: 0 Attribute: LIGHT Type: Winged Beast

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play 2 face-up monsters you control (1 "Blackwing" Tuner and 1 non-Tuner). Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck. This card's name, ATK, and effects become the same as that monster's, until the End Phase.

Ryan sat on the sofa, relieved that this wasn’t going to be the end of his journey. Chase walked afterward.

“If my hand didn’t hurt like a bitch right now, I’d punch you again.”

“You will do no such thing,” said Mark, entering the room. “In fact, please leave. I have to talk to Ryan.”

Chase left without a word.

“What’s going on?” asked Ryan.

“When we entered this world, I saw some reluctance in you that I thought would cripple this bureau, but I knew that with perseverance and hard work, you’d prove yourself a worthy agent. You did well, Mr. King.”

“Wait, but I’m-”

“I demoted Chase after his loss and his most recent outburst. I knew it was a bad idea to let such an angry and volatile person be second in command like that. But you have what it takes: strong, smart, and level headed. Congratultions, Ryan.”

Mark then handed him a deck of cards. Upon looking through them, Ryan saw that they were his T.G. monsters. “Sir?”

“You’ve earned them. After what I saw in you last match, you deserve to wield your own deck in its complete form.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll use my own deck.”

Mark then left the room. Ryan then looked over the deck again and slipped his “new” cards into his deck box.

Rainbow Dash stood by Gilda who was waiting for her at the wood gate.

“What’s up?” asked Gilda. “Where’ve you been?”

“I saw Ryan get into a fight with that Chase guy.”

“Who won?”

“Ryan, of course.”

Gilda smiled. “Good. I like him.”

“So, what’s the plan?”

“You mean for the next match? The way I see it, we just go all out if we do doubles of any kind. If we do relay, Scott usually goes first, so I’ll take him on first. My Ally of Justice deck will clobber him.”

“Sounds good.”

____________________________________

“Alright,” called the announcer, “let’s not waste any more time. First, we shall have the two newest additions to the Wonderbolts, Gilda and Rainbow Dash!”

The crowd cheered as Rainbow Dash and Gilda made their way out, posing for any paparazzi in the crowd.

“Last, and certainly not least, we have our final quarter finalists, Scott and Zelda!”

More cheers erupted. As the two teams met in the middle, the four spaced circle appeared again. The light then spun around and around until it landed on the space marked RR. Riding Relay.

“Oh boy,” said the announcer. “It looks like we have our first riding duel. Let’s explain to the duelists how this will work.”

As he explained, two drawbridge-like doors opened on the Scott and Zelda’s right side. The doors looked to open out over the edge of the city, and seeing that the city was perched on the edge of a cliff, it looked like a long drop.

“Each teammate will be required to fly in some way or another, either by their own means or with assistance from the princesses. They will dive off of the drawbridge at the beginning, and whichever duelist pulls out of their dive towards the trees below first will seize the first turn. Teams, pick your first duelist, and as usual, good luck to everypony!”

Scott was already putting his duel disk on, signaling that he was ready to go.

“All part of the plan,” said Gilda who made her way towards the drawbridge.

Scott then took out a Poké Ball of his and threw it, causing a white energy to come out of it. The white light turned into a metallic looking bird with red wings that looked like knives.

“What is that?” asked Gilda.

“This is my Skarmory. Her name is Cirrus.”

“Awesome. Can’t wait to fly with her.

“Neither can she.”

Scott and Cirrus walked up to the edge of the drawbridge. Scott couldn’t even bring himself to put a toe farther than the edge of the door. Must be a hell of a way to go to drop from that height, he thought. Without further hesitation, Scott and Gilda activated Speed World 2, causing the area to be illuminated in a holographic aura.

“Just like old times, huh, Gilda?” asked Scott.

“No,” said Gilda. “Today, I duel a friend, not an enemy.”

Scott nodded as he listened to the countdown.

10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

*BEEP*

Gilda swooped down towards the ground. Cirrus quickly grabbed Scott in her talons and sped towards the trees below. Despite losing some of her aerodynamics, Cirrus was able to outfly Gilda even whilst clinging onto Scott. Cirrus pulled up in time to have Scott just a few feet over the trees. Scott would be going first. As Cirrus ascended to a taller altitude, Scott and Gilda drew five cards from their decks.

“DUEL!” they both yelled.

Scott and Zelda vs. Gilda and Rainbow Dash

Gilda’s Turn: S:1 G:1 Gilda activates Overboost, gaining 4 speed counters (SpC.: 1 -> 5). Next, she activates the speed spell Scapegoat, removing 5 speed counters (SpC.: 5 -> 0) to special summon 4 Sheep tokens in defense position (ATK: 0 DEF: 0).

Scott activates his own Overboost, gaining 4 speed counters (SpC.: 2 -> 6). Next, he activates the speed spell Dead Synchron, synchro summoning a monster by removing the appropriate materials in his graveyard from play, banishing Vylon Prism and Vylon Tesseract to synchro summon another Vylon Epsilon. Scott overlays the 2 Vylon Epsilons to xyz summon Number 171: Grand Harmonious Pipe Organ (ATK: 3400 DEF: 2500).

Gilda activates Number 135: Meklord King Galael’s effect. By detaching 1 xyz material from it, Gilda can equip one xyz monster her opponent controls to it and have it gain ATK equal to the ATK of the equip card, choosing Number 171: Grand Harmonious Pipe Organ (ATK: 2000 -> 5400). Any xyz materials attached to the xyz monster become attached to Number 135: Meklord King Galael.

Scott’s Life Points: 4000 -> 1300

Gilda ends her turn.

Status: Hand-0 Life-4000 Monsters-1 Face Down Cards-1

____________________________________

“What is this?” asked Scott.

“This is my Number,” said Gilda. “I had a feeling you weren’t going to duel without one yourself, so I put one in my deck for good measure.”

“Dammit,” said Scott under his breath. If I can’t find a way to get more out of this duel, I’m afraid that Zelda will have to face two fearsome opponents.

____________________________________

Scott’s Turn: S:3 G:4 Scott activates Angel Baton, drawing 2 cards and discarding 1. Scott activates High Speed Crash, destroying his face down card to destroy Number 135: Meklord King Galael, but Gilda activates Number 135: Meklord King Galael’s other effect.

Scott’s Life Points: 1300 -> 0

Gilda wins the round.

Status: Hand-0 Life-4000 Monsters-2 Face Down Cards-0

Zelda will switch with Scott, who will pass his face down card on to her.

____________________________________

Cirrus landed with Scott on the drawbridge. After calling his Skarmory back to her Poké Ball , Scott passed his card on to Zelda. Zelda put the card in her spell and trap slot, and then she made full sprint towards the end of the drawbridge, shocking the crowd. Zelda leapt off the edge, free falling. She then threw her own Poké Ball in the air, and out of it came a black bird with a red back and white, fluffy head. It caught Zelda in its talons and soared off to catch up to Gilda.

“What’s that?” asked Rainbow Dash to Scott.

“That’s her braviary. Quite a sight, isn’t he?”

“I’ll say.”

____________________________________

Zelda’s Turn: Z:5 G:6 Zelda activates her Angel Baton, drawing 2 cards and discarding 1.

Then, she special summons Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind, as she controls a Blackwing monster (ATK: 1300 DEF: 400). Zelda activates Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind’s effect, halving an opponent’s ATK and DEF, choosing Number 135: Meklord King Galael (ATK: 2000 -> 1000, DEF: 2000 -> 1000). Zelda then activates Delta Crow – Anti Reverse from her hand, as she controls exactly 3 Blackwing monsters, destroying all face down cards her opponent controls.

Zelda’s Life Points: 4000 -> 4600

Gilda’s Life Points: 4000 -> 2500

When Blackwing Armor Master attacks a monster, a Wedge counter is placed on it. Zelda removes this counter to reduce Number 135: Meklord King Galael’s ATK to 0 (ATK: 1000 -> 0). Zelda then attacks Number 135: Meklord King Galael with Number 199: Lunar Wolf Spirit.

Zelda ends her turn.

Status: Hand-0 Life-4600 Monsters-2 Face Down Cards-0

____________________________________

Wow, thought Gilda, I knew she was strong, but this is something else. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that she was in the Vegas Bureau. Looking at her hand, field, and life point count, she knew she was due. Looks like I’m all out of juice. If I can just help my partner out a little more…

____________________________________

Gilda’s Turn: Z:6 G:7 Gilda activates the speed spell Synchro Defuse, taking control of Blackwing Armor Master. Gilda attacks Number 199: Lunar Wolf Spirit with Blackwing Armor Master.

Status: Hand-0 Life-2600 Monsters-2 Face Down Cards-1

Rainbow Dash will switch with Gilda, who will pass nothing on to her.

____________________________________

“Well, would you look at this?” remarked the announcer. “Gilda is not going to make Zelda’s final stand against her next opponent, Rainbow Dash, an easy one. Despite doing the near impossible and knocking out half of her opponents’ life points in a short amount of time, Zelda has only a little more than half of hers and another 4000 to go. How will she brave this storm? Let’s find out.”

Rainbow Dash flew at full speed, not just to catch up to Zelda, but that her next move required it.

____________________________________

Final Round: Rainbow Dash vs. Zelda

Rainbow Dash’s Turn: Z:1 RD:9 Rainbow Dash activates her Summon Speeder, special summoning Gusto Falco (ATK: 600 DEF: 1400). She then summons Gusto Thunbolt (ATK: 1500 DEF: 1200).

“Sonic Rainboom Phoenix,” remarked Zelda. “I guess it is more fearsome in person than in the stands.” Now that she’s destroyed my Number, I want this to be a fair clean duel. No Numbers between us. Just us.

____________________________________

Zelda’s Turn: Z:2 RD:2 Zelda summons Blackwing – Kochi the Daybreak (ATK: 700 DEF: 1500). When Zelda controls a Blackwing monster, she can special summon Blackwing – Bora the Spear (ATK: 1700 DEF: 800).

Zelda’s Life Points: 2100 -> 1050

Status: Hand-0 Life-1100 Monsters-1 Face Down Cards-2

____________________________________

“I don’t see why you would do something so pointless,” said Rainbow Dash. “I took a teensy amount of damage while you took a lot.”

“Don’t think I’ve forgotten,” said Zelda. “I know that your monster’s power rests in having synchro monsters in your graveyard, but what happens when you don’t have any left? That’s the weakness of your monster, and I intend to take full advantage of it.”

“Says the egghead with a monster with no ATK.”

Blackwing – Aurora the Northern Lights attacks Sonic Rainboom Phoenix, but Rainbow Dash activates Magic Cylinder, negating the attack and inflicting damage equal to the attacking monster’s ATK, but Zelda activates the effect of Black-Winged Dragon, placing a Black Feather counter on it instead of taking effect damage (FeC.: 0 -> 1). Black-Winged Dragon loses 700 ATK for each Black Feather counter on it (ATK: 2800 -> 2100). Zelda removes a Black Feather counter from it to decrease a monster’s ATK by 700 for each counter removed from it and inflict damage to the monster’s controller equal to the amount of ATK lost by this effect, choosing Sonic Rainboom Phoenix (ATK: 3300 -> 2600) (ATK: 2100 -> 2800).

I just pray that she doesn’t draw a speed spell now, thought Zelda.

When Kamui, Hope of Gusto is flip summoned, Rainbow Dash can special summon a Gusto tuner from her deck, choosing Gusto Egul (ATK: 200 DEF: 400). Rainbow Dash then tributes Kamui, Hope of Gusto to summon Windaar, Sage of Gusto (ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000).

Rainbow Dash tunes Windaar, Sage of Gusto with Gusto Egul to synchro summon Daigusto Eguls (ATK: 2600 DEF: 1800). Rainbow Dash attacks Black-Winged Dragon with Sonic Rainboom Phoenix, but Zelda activates Spirit Barrier, preventing Battle Damage as long as she controls a monster. Rainbow Dash attacks Blackwing – Aurora the Northern Lights.

Rainbow Dash ends her turn.

Status: Hand-1 Life-2800 Monsters-2 Face Down Cards-0

“I have to say,” said Rainbow Dash. “Even with double digit life points, you still manage to get another turn, even without a Number. You have my respect as a duelist and a friend.”

“Likewise.” I need a good draw here, thought Zelda.

Zelda wins the round.

Scott and Zelda win the match.

“What a shocker!” said the announcer. “After what looked like an endless struggle, Zelda still managed to come out on top and defeat Rainbow Dash for the eligibility to enter the semi-finals, which will begin with Alex and Eli vs. Orion and Helena.”

Rainbow Dash flew into the coliseum hot and flustered. After all that, it was a simple spell card that would be her undoing. Zelda landed in the coliseum with her braviary and called it back into her pokéball. Gilda was consoling Rainbow Dash when Zelda walked up and rubbed Rainbow Dash’s side under her wing. This didn’t seem to help Rainbow Dash too much, so instead, Zelda knelt next the pegasus and hugged her from behind. Somehow, Rainbow Dash instantly felt better.

“Sometimes, all we need is a little hug to flush away all of our sorrow.”

“Mm-hm,” agreed Rainbow Dash, still choked up a little.

“Come on,” said Zelda. “Alex is up next, and I know you’ll want to cheer him on.”

“Mm-hm!” hummed Rainbow Dash.

Together, Zelda, Rainbow Dash, and Gilda walked to the stands to cheer on their friends.
