Firefly - Strategic Defender Posts: 2,480 Group: Global Moderator (RY) Member #46 Joined: Feb 9, 2008	The wide open field, designed with flower gardens and monuments of great prestige and importance, occupies a dozen more visitors, today. The chosen area to remember those many who have fallen: Dusk Memorial Park. It was here that Naruko Nakayama rested her active feet as she sat along one of the benches near the large park's center. Her Cyclone academy duel disk rested next to her. Lazily draped over it, pushing several buttons on her open PDA, which she held at a high angle over her head, the brunette girl watched the device's screen as some sort of mail was sent to someone. Soon lowering her arm, she gazed at the mildly cloudy sky as those very clouds moved somewhat faster than normal. ".... .... ...." It was the best of times; it was the worst of times...; it was the windiest of times. ...Well, not the windiest, but it's pretty darn windy...! Naruko, here. And my luck's apparently running out.... ...Yeah, it's been pretty bad, this week. First day out on this trip, I lose my undefeated streak to a guy named Douken. ...I can't lie, it was a great duel, but still, it was important to me, dammit...!! ...After that, like, the next day, I find out Aoi's in the hospital. ...I'm still not exactly sure what happened - haven't actually spoken to the doctor yet - but she's got injured limbs and some form of amnesia - doesn't remember me.... .... .... Kids were throwing a frisbee in this windy weather. The wind flung it way~ down to another end of the field while the 2 young boys chased after it. .... .... .... ...! ...[sigh]. And I was supposed to tell her that steak ended... but it's not like telling her now would've meant anything.... ...Still, I feel like I'm keeping it from her.... All of that's the worst of it, but to add to that, I accidentally flung an almost-frozen chunk of strawberry ice cream onto some couple behind me and my friends while we were walking down the street. I'm glad they were forgiving people.... .... We need spoons stronger than those stupid, flimsy, plastic ones!! Geez....! That was so embarrassing, I couldn't even look back after that..., and that was yesterday, too. But I need my luck to turn around, later today. --No, right now, and onward. By now, Douken's gotten my message I just sent, so we'll finally be having our rematch today. With everything that's happened, I was too busy to face him sooner.... [flashback] And that Great Shogun Shien of his kept me from tieing our first duel. That's the card I have to watch out for if he uses that deck again.... .... .... ...! Hm.... A thought came to mind. Naruko stood up and opened her deck box, browsing her deck one last time. She had no intention of losing twice in a row -------- Subject: Rematch!! Right NOW!!! From: Naruko Nakayama That!! Come over to the Dusk Memorial Park. It should be on the map screen from the PDA update, so no excuses! >: D

Checking what it was about, he saw it was Naruko wanting the rematch. "Funny, I thought it would be a few more days..." he muttered, figuring he would gain the challenge on the last day. Cleaning up, he packed his cards and threw on a long coat, heeding the windy weather. He also took a cowboy hat he bought yesterday and placed it on his head for shade before strapping his duel disk onto his left arm and his deck in the box on his belt. last thing he took was a book full of small tales about cards to pass the time before he got there. Locking the door behind him as he headed out, he took to the entrance then the bus to the memorial park. Upon the bus ride, he read an interesting story about Kycoo. A small tale that followed a small myth. Spoiler: click to toggle The road to becoming a master exorcist is a long and treacherous road that many have not lived or continued on to see its end. Even the first step on this road is dangerous, and only a handful are brave enough to proceed. All exorcists in training must take this step, even one named Kycoo, whose goal was to take his master's place when he dies out. "First, one must be able to gain the ability to see ghosts," his master explained to him. "Go on a journey and seek out your answer. Some may possess the spiritual eye that gain them this skill, but others must learn in other manners. Go... Find your third eye and only come back when you have..." Upon this order, Kycoo nodded and headed out to seek his third eye. Months past without a sign until one full moon night, he saw a falling star. "Oh falling spirit," he stated, "I welcome you to this earth and prey that your journey shall be safe... If i was to see you, then I would surely grant you protection..." It was a small prayer he said to the stars that have fallen, but the last part was not part of it... a mere add on. Still, those simple words did give a responce. "You wish to see those that have past?" echoed in Kycoo's ears, followed by a deep chuckle. Startled, he looked around, wondering where it came from. "W-Who said that?" Once more, a chuckle. "An exorcist afraid of those who have past on... not a good one I must say. Have not developed your third eye I see... If you were, you would know where I was..." "Who are you?" Kycoo asked curiously, calming down and relaxing his body. "I am the spirit from what you saw, and I am pleased to hear you grant me safe travels, but what intrigues me more is that you are interested in seeing the dead. I can help..." "How?" Kycoo asked before a piece of a mask appeared before him. Curious, he picked it up and examined it. "Put it on, and you can see the undead, but you may never remove it again. Ding so removes your soul from your body... If you still want to, put it on... if not, drop it and be on your way... the choice is yours..." The voice wisped away into the darkness of the night. He could still choose to develop the eye himself, but his hastefulness was what got to him then, and he placed on the mask, covering his left eye. he was now able to see the spirits that walked this world. Returning to his master, he told Kycoo, "I see you failed in developing the third eye and took to a tool of the dead. By you wearing that mask, you understand its consequences and accepted the power. One more step, and you will no longer be considered an apprentice. Now, you must find a spirit that does not accept passing on and send him off." It was then he tossed Kycoo a string of beads. "That will be your tool. When the spirit is defeated, he must place his human initials inside one of those beads. Once you complete tat, return to me. If you try to take an accepting soul and bring it to be, I cannot allow to to become a full exorcist." Wrapping the beads around his right hand, he accepted the task and headed forth. His journey with the dead had him see many unusual things that would not be seen normally. Guardian spirits, the deceased walking with the living... Two worlds merged into one. Then again, there were always those that created back luck. One spirit was particularly in mind. It was spirit that tormented an old man. One night, when the old man went to rest, Kycoo went and challenged the spirit. "One who has departed from this world," he told the spirit, "why must you torment this man. He has done you o harm..." "But harm he has done just by being older than he than when I died! I cannot forgive myself for letting him live longer than me! Besides, he will die soon, so I am just helping him," was the spirit's reply. Kycoo responded by removing the beads that he wrapped around his arm. "I am afraid I cannot do that. If his life ends by life's plan, then so be it, but I cannot allow your jealousy bring death to others." "And what will you do about it, exorcise me? Like I will go peacefully." "Then lets make a deal. If I cannot make you submit within three days, I shall remove my soul from my body and take on to the afterlife. Afterwards, you shall be able to take my body and use it as your own." This make the spirit grin wildly. "However, if I win, you shall place your human initials into one of the beads I hold and depart to the afterlife." Thinking the favor was his, he agreed to these terms and the two battled it out for three days. In the end, Kycoo pulled out victorious five minutes before the deadline. Just like the circumstances, he hesitantly placed his initials in red inside one of the beads and departed to the afterlife. returning to the village, he saw the old man was out later than usual, looking at the horizon, people walking around him, ignoring his presence, walking through him. He had already died. Kycoo headed for the old man and stood next to him as things around them went on. "So, was it the spirit that got you?" he asked. The old man shook his head. "Are you willing to head for the afterlife?" The old man then turned his head and told Kycoo, "This is not my time anymore. Let the young enjoy what they have... I am ready..." He placed his initials in blue upon one of the beads before heading off to the afterlife, and after that, Kycoo headed back to his master. When he returned to his master, he took the beads and looked upon them. "It seems you passed on a troubled and an accepting spirit. The color of the initials say so. Good work. No longer do you need my guidance. You may come back when you have one bead remains. After that, you may put my soul to rest and take my place..." (If you want to read or not XD I got bored and wrote it.) Upon arriving at the park, he stepped off and headed off. The wind was a bit strong true, but nothing too terrible. The long coat waved in the wind open-chested, but it wasn't too big of a concern. Upon seeing Naruko sitting there checking her deck, he casually headed forth. "Well, if it isn't Naruko once more. How have things been since we last met?" he said, pushing his glasses up.

IC: "Huh?" Naruko looked up from her deck for the first time in almost twenty minutes. "! Ah, Doki, y'made it!" She momentarily glanced at her deck. Thinking it was as good as it was going to get, her sights shifted to her duel disk on the bench. She said, as she put her deck in and attached it to her arm, "Good. 'Cause I'd tolerate nothing else. ...I thought you would message me anyway, though. Well~, no mater, no matter. It's about time I redeem myself, here." Disk was attached. Naruko nodded. She then dramatically pointed towards the Osiris teen. "Though yours was a good win, it was a lucky one," though it obviously wasn't, "and I have no intention of letting that happen again! So!" Holding out her equipped arm, she tightened her fist. The pressure sensor on the arm lock activated, turning on the cyclone duel disk. The multicolored orb began to glow. And once the disk transformed into battle mode, the orb began to turn. Slowly, it spun, quickly increasing its rotation speed until it seemed like a supersonic blur. Solid Vision was now active on her dueling device. "...Let's have at it!"

The Warrior of the Pack Posts: 536 Group: Osiris Red Member #199 Joined: Mar 22, 2009	He let off a small chuckle when he heard her call him Doki. "Doki... now that is the most interesting nickname I have gotten yet..." he chuckled as she got herself ready. He reached inside the long coat he wore and opened the case, removing the deck and slid it into the slot. he then waved his hand over his arm to activate the duel disk, the card platform moving forward, then the extra two slots popping out of the side, showing the faceplate of the Yin-Yang Katanas. "Let's duel!" he declared as the censors picked up each other's disks and locked onto each other. Lifepoints Naruko=8000 Douken=8000 "I will start things off," he stated, drawing the first card for round one and taking a glimpse at his hand. "First off, I start with Reasoning! You get to declare a monster level, and if the next monster is that level, it goes to the grave, if not, its special summoned to my field. Every other card also goes to the grave." As she thought it over, Douken thought, The main levels she has to select from is 3, 4, 5, and 7... any other results in a free summon. The level she declared was 4, so picking up the first card, it was surprisingly a monster. "Looks like my first monster is the Six Samurai - Irou, a level 4, so it heads to the grave," he said, placing it in the graveyard slot. "Alright, next up, I call to the front The Six Samurai, Zanji!" Throwing the card down in the monster zone, the hologram machines activating, bringing out a rainbow light that soon took shape of the futuristic feudal Japan samurai who carried a lance. The Six Samurai - Zanji Attrib: Light Type: Warrior/Effect Level:4 Atk: 1800 Def: 1300 While you control another "Six Samurai" monster with a different name, destroy any monster this card attacks at the end of the Damage Step. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy another "Six Samurai" monster you control instead. "Now, our last match, I thought I had to rely on this card to make sure I could easily pull off the win, but hearing you wanted a rematch, I still kept it in my side deck for quick access and an easy replacement. I now activate, Prohibition!" Behind Zanji, a wooden sign appeared with a blank front. Prohibition Group: Spell Card Type: Spell Icon:Continuous When you play this card, declare the name of 1 card. As long as this remains on the Field, the declared card cannot be played. The cards which are already on the Field before this card’s activation are excluded. "And now as long as this sign stays up, the Self Destruct Button cannot be used in this duel!" and at that declaration, the white space was then occupied with her signature card's art. "After I lay two face down cards, it will be your turn,' he said, setting the two cards that appeared onto the field. Douken 8000LP M1 = The Six Samurai - Zanji S/T1 = Prohibition (Self Destruct Button) S/T2 = Face Down S/T3 = Face Down

Naruko muttered under her breath as she stared at the continuous spell card Douken had used. If it wasn't for that.... "And my luck gets even worse...." She looked at her hand of 5 cards, namely the 'Inspection' and 'Self-Destruct Button' cards. "...I gotta find a way out of this mess...." "Right. My turn! Draw!" She drew her sixth card. "!!" A card-drawing spell card had just appeared. "Alright! Maybe I can work around Prohibition with this...! ...Here goes...!" "Okay, now... I activate a spell card: Allure of Darkness! I get to draw two cards. And if I don't remove a DARK monster in my hand from play, I lose my entire hand...!" The brunette drew two cards. After a bit of thought, she took her 'Dark Mimic LV1' monster and put it in her pocket, essentially removing it from play. "I didn't get what I needed... but I can hold him off for a bit. ...He's got 1 card in his hand. Odds are, if it was that Grandmaster card, he would have Special Summoned it for protection, using its recovery effect. That said, it likely isn't that card.... ...It could still be the Great Shogun Shien, though.... Douken needs at least 2 samurai on the field to summon it, so it could show up as soon as next turn...." She looked at her hand again. ".... ...I'm going for it...! If the Kamon one shows up, I'm in trouble.... ...And if one of those face-downs is what I think it is...." She recalled the trap card that hindered her strategy last time. She was able to overcome it, but in the end, Shien was the real problem. She placed Allure of Darkness in the grave slot. Then, taking hold of a card in her hand, she played it. "I activate Messenger of Peace!" The spell card's hologram appeared on the field... Messenger of Peace Continuous Spell Card Neither player can declare attacks with face-up monsters with an ATK of 1500 or more. Pay 100 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases. If you do not, destroy this card. But it was effectively shot down. With the activation of Douken's Solemn Judgment card, the young man negated Messenger and destroyed it, at the cost of half his life points. Life Points Douken: 8000 ---> 4000 Naruko: 8000 Not only did he prevent Naruko's defense, he also lowered his life points, making Naruko's method of tieing the game more difficult than it already was with Prohibition. Naruko noticed this and was even more frustrated. "It's like everything's hitting me all at once...!! ...Rrrgh...!" She grabbed another card and slapped it down. "Summoning Mind Protector in attack mode!" Mind Protector ATK: 0 This card's controller must pay 500 Life Points during each of their Standby Phases. If they cannot, destroy this card. Monsters with 2000 or less ATK cannot declare an attack, except for Psychic-Type monsters. "Now your monsters can't attack if they have 2000 attack points or less...!" Assuming he didn't have any Psychic-Type monsters. "I end my turn...!" To which, Douken activated his 'Swiftstrike Armor' trap card during her End Phase. Swifstrike Armor Continuous Trap Card During your Draw Phase, if you draw a "Six Samurai" Monster Card, you can Special Summon it. --------- Naruko's LP: 8000 Naruko's Field: M1: M2: M3: Mind Protector [ATK: 0] M4: M5: S1: S2: S3: S4: S5:

Hello Shien... he thought adding it into his hand which held a second one. Good chance she is going to be careful with Shien, since it threw her off in our first duel. "I have nothing to play, and without being able to attack, its your move." Douken 4000 LP M1 = The Six Samurai - Zanji S/T1 = Prohibition (Self Destruct Button) S/T2 = Swiftstrike Armor

"Looks like I guessed right. ...But that means nothing if I can't come back from this...." "I draw, then! ...! .... Standby Phase!" She pointed to her lone monster on the field. "I pay a mandatory cost of 500 Life Points during each Standby Phase Mind Protector is face-up on my field...!" Life Points Naruko: 8000 ---> 7500 "Next... I'll switch my monster to Defense mode..." Mind Protector DEF: 2200 "and drop a card face-down in both places!" Naruko placed a card in one of her Spell and Trap Card Zone slots and a monster face-down in Defense position. The energy she exuded through her motions showed that she wasn't out quite yet. she brushed her bangs a bit as the wind briefly picked up. "Turn's over...! Your move." --------- Naruko's LP: 7500 Naruko's Field: M1: M2: M3: Mind Protector [DEF: 2200] M4: [F/D] M5: S1: S2: S3: [F/D] S4: S5: Edited by Rina Kasakura, Aug 13 2009, 10:35 PM.

The Warrior of the Pack Posts: 536 Group: Osiris Red Member #199 Joined: Mar 22, 2009	"The question is how long you can keep that up," he said, drawing his next card. "Looks like a nice draw indeed, because I now play The Warrior Returning Alive!" he said, putting it into play. The Warrior Returning Alive Group: Spell Card Type: Spell Add 1 Warrior-Type monster from your Graveyard to your hand. "And thanks to the failed attempt of reasoning, I now have a warrior in my graveyard to bring back," he said as Irou popped out from his graveyard and he placed it into his hand. "Now why wait to use him? I summon The Six Samurai - Irou!" Slapping the card next to Zanji, the samurai in dark armor appeared beside his counterpart, placing the monster duo together. The Six Samurai - Irou Attrib: Dark Type: Warrior/Effect Level:4 Atk: 1700 Def: 1200 While you control another "Six Samurai" monster with a different name, if this card attacks a face-down Defense Position monster, destroy the monster immediately with this card's effect without flipping it face-up or applying damage calculation. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy another "Six Samurai" monster you control. "Now, time to say 'Hi' to an old friend. Great Shogun Shien, come forth!" As the light started to come forth to bring his strongest card out, Naruko hastefully triggered her own Solemn Judgment. Quote: Naruko's LP]7500->3750 This only made Douken laugh. "Wow... I guwess you do not want to see your old friend after all... Well, he was so eager in seeing you, he came to me not once, but twice!" he declared, slapping down a second Great Shogun Shien to the field. Great Shogun Shien Attrib: Fire Type: Warrior/Effect Level:7 Atk: 2500 Def: 2400 If you control 2 or more "Six Samurai" monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Your opponent can activate only 1 Spell/Trap Card each turn. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy a "Six Samurai" monster you control instead. "I am sure I do not need to remind you on what he does, do I? it was still funny though. In our first doel, you said you went against the samurai before. How come you acted in such a suck when you learned of Shien's effect during that moment? "Either way... i guess its time to do some damaged... starting with your 'protection' there... Shien, wipe out her Mind Protector!" He declared. Shien stepped forth and unsheathed his blade and slashed her protection in half. "irou, wipe out her face down!" His Irou's dark blade pulsating with his comrade nearby, he slashed through the facedown Cat of Ill Omen like nothing... not giving it a chance to gain its FLIP effect. "Zanji, direct strike!" With her field open, Zanji zoomed in close before cleaving her with the lance, inflicting serious damage on her life points. naruko's LP 3750->1950 "So, what will you do now? My turn ends here..." Douken 4000 LP M1 = The Six Samurai - Zanji M2 = The Six Samurai - Irou M3 = Great Shogun Shien S/T1 = Prohibition (Self Destruct Button) S/T2 = Swiftstrike Armor

After all that... to still be done in by--.... ....Ugh...!" Naruko glanced away, then at the new Osiris, a promotion that Naruko didn't know about. "Shien wasn't a problem before I faced this guy.... Why...-- .... ...How lucky can he be...??" After another look at her hand, and a moment to think... she began her turn. "Draw...! .... ...." ...Another 'Inspection.' Not even a Mystical Space Typhoon; a Gift Card; a second Allure of Darkness. Within, Naruko was greatly annoyed with how things turned out. It was never so much trouble to deal with an opponent. This had to be the worst instance of bad luck all week. Slamming down a monster, she announced, "I summon! Dark Mimic LV3, Attack mode!" Dark Mimic LV3 ATK: 1000 If this card is sent to the Graveyard by battle, the controller of this card draws 1 card. If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of "Dark Mimic LV1", they draw 2 cards instead. Why? Who knows. Maybe it was because of Irou; maybe it was because of... ".... ...." She looked at the card in her hand. ".... ...! I'll set a card face-down, as well! End Turn!" The face-down hologram emerged on the windy field. --------- Naruko's LP: 1950 Naruko's Field: M1: M2: M3: Dark Mimic LV3 [ATK: 1000] M4: M5: S1: S2: S3: [F/D] S4: S5:

The Warrior of the Pack Posts: 536 Group: Osiris Red Member #199 Joined: Mar 22, 2009	His long coat fluttered in the wind as he watched her move. "You played Dark Mimic in attack mode? Either you admit defeat, you you got something planned," he said, drawing his next card. "Or in the end, its just a bluff... Only one way to find out! Zanji, strike down her Dark Mimic!" Playing a risky menuvuer, he still took on the risk of a Mirror Force or Crush Card. The extra summonig would also risk Torrential Tribute, and he had enough power if it was a bluff. He watched to see if it was a bluff or not as the box became triangle pixels flying away in the wind. Naruko's LP 1950->1150 Seems she bluffs after all... he thought as she drew a card thanks to the box's effect. "Irou, finish this duel!" The samurai in dark armor stood infront of Naruko, unsheathing the blade out slowly before her, letting it reflect her eyes back at her until it was completely unsealed. Raising the sharp edge high, he chopped downwards, inflicting the finishing blow. naruko's LP 1150->0 "Well then," he said, pushing his hat up with his right index finger as the holograms faded. "Seems like another duel has come to a close..."
