"Phew, finally got through it." Judai let out a long breath and smiled confidently, "Alright! Now it's time for my counterattack!
My turn, draw a card!"
He drew a card from his hand, glanced at it, and said, "In the instant of the preparation phase, activate the effect of the Magic Card 'Take Over 5' in the graveyard!
Banish this card in the graveyard and a card of the same name from the card deck, and draw one card from the deck!"
He immediately revealed the card he just drew.
"Magic Card 'Magic Book in Pot', both players draw three cards from their decks!"
The alien drew three cards and, upon catching sight of the cards, his gaze slightly shifted.
Heh, actually handing resources to the enemy proactively, perhaps unaware of how he will die...
"I summon 'Cross Porter' in attack mode!"
[Cross Porter, Attack Power 400]
"Cross Porter, activate the effect!" Judai said, "This card can send one monster from your field to the graveyard to Special Summon a 'Neo-Spacian' from your hand!
I send 'Cross Porter' itself to the graveyard to Special Summon 'Neo-Spacian Grand Mole' from my hand!"
The red-armored Porter Warrior disappeared from the field, and the yellow Neo-Spacian Mole burst out from the Kyoto streets again. He landed on the street, with the metallic drill protecting his head splitting open and transforming into shoulder pads on both sides.
[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, Attack Power 900]
"It's that despicable Neo-Spacian again!" The alien was slightly annoyed.
But it doesn't matter. Grand Mole can only bounce one monster back to the hand per turn, and none of the alien's monsters on the field are particularly afraid of this effect.
The level four Chainsaw Insect can be summoned back next turn even if kicked away. It would be even better if the opponent chooses the "Dimension Kaiju Radian", as this way the alien can use Radian to devour Judai's monster next turn—and due to the presence of the Continuous Trap "Remove Brainwashing" on the field, the devoured monster by Radian will immediately return to his field.
It doesn't matter if the Radian Token is destroyed. As long as Radian is there, new tokens can be formed next turn.
"Cross Porter's second effect!" Judai said, "When this card is sent to the graveyard, add a 'Neo-Spacian' monster from the deck to the hand.
I add 'Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab' from the deck to my hand!"
The alien started to become alert.
Another new Neo-Spacian?
"Magic Card 'Miracle Contact' activated!" Judai said, "Return Fusion Material Monsters from your field and graveyard to the deck, and Fusion Summon 'Elemental Hero Fusion Monster' treated as Fusion Material for 'Elemental Hero Neos' ignoring other summon conditions!"
Miracle Contact, a rare card that's stronger in its physical card form than in the animation. In the animation, it was mostly just a Neo-Spacian version of Miracle Fusion, only able to fuse monsters from the field and graveyard. But the physical card 'Miracle Contact' can even fuse Neo-Spacians from the hand.
Of course, the version Judai has here is naturally the animation version.
The Neo-Spacian Cards eaten by the Dimension Kaiju last turn popped out from the graveyard, and the shadow of the Elemental Hero appeared on the field.
"Contact Fusion between 'Elemental Hero Neos' in the graveyard and 'Neo-Spacian Grand Mole' on the field!"
The starry sky closed in again, the galaxy seemed to be within reach. Neos and Grand Mole both soared, transformed into two beams of golden light, and melded into the center of the galaxy.
"Earth's stance, power of courage!" Judai raised his fist, "Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Grand Neos!"
A powerful energy erupted in the starry space, as if igniting a storm of light in the cosmic vacuum! A towering beam of light fell like a waterfall, Neos landing as if carrying an overwhelming force, draped in heavy green armor, his right hand fitted with a silver spiral drill, raising a cloud of dust upon impact.
[Elemental Hero Grand Neos, Attack Power 2500]
The alien's face turned wary: "Changing stance, huh... but even with changed stature, the attack power is still insufficient... "
"The effect of 'Elemental Hero Grand Neos'." Judai smiled slightly, "Once per turn, it can bounce one monster on the opponent's field back to its owner's hand!"
The alien gritted his teeth: "Such a despicable effect again..."
"I bounce 'Radian Token' back to the hand." Judai paused, "Of course, since tokens cannot be returned to the hand, it is directly destroyed!
"Nebulous Hole!"
Elemental Hero Grand Neos raised his right hand, the spinning drill on his right arm whirring at high speed!
Golden energy flowed like water from the ground, rapidly attaching itself to the surface of that spinning drill. Elemental Hero Neos thrust his arm forward, and the spiraling beam hit the Kaiju's token without hesitation.
A pitch-black vortex suddenly opened behind the token, like a miniature black hole. Powerful gravity pulled him backward, while the intense golden light pushed him into it. The Radian Token was instantly absorbed by the hole, crushed into powder under the enormous pressure.
Of course, Elemental Hero Grand Neos' effect can only be used once per turn. Also, Ultraman can only fight on Earth for three minutes... no, that's not right; Elemental Hero's Fusion Monster can only exist on the field for one turn.
This was clearly not enough to directly determine the outcome.
"Quick-Play Magic 'Contact Out'!" said Judai, "Dispel the Fusion Monster of Neos on the field! And Special Summon the Fusion Material Monsters from the deck!"
"I dispel the fusion of 'Elemental Hero Grand Neos'! Return to the field, Neos! Grand Mole!"
Elemental Hero Grand Neos suddenly split into two, reverting to the forms of Neos and Grand Mole on the left and right respectively.
[Elemental Hero Neos, Attack Power 2500]
[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, Attack Power 900]
The alien was clear, believing he had already seen through the opponent's tactics.
If they dispelled the fusion, they could use Grand Mole to attack and bounce one of their own monsters off the field. But it didn't matter; neither Chainsaw Insect nor Radian feared this effect, as they could easily be summoned again next turn.
"Continuous Magic 'Common Soul'." Judai waved his hand grandly, "Special Summon a 'Neo-Spacian' monster from the hand.
I Special Summon 'Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab'!"
The ground broke open, and a figure wrapped in lava burst forth, shaking off the flames encircling it with a shout, revealing a humanoid entity clad in black beetle armor.
[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, Attack Power 500]
"Flare Scarab's effect: Attack Power increases by 400 points times the number of Magic and Trap Cards on the opponent's field!" Judai exclaimed, "Now on your field, there's 'Kyoutou Waterfront' and 'Remove Brainwashing', so Attack Power is increased by 800!"
[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 1300]
The alien scoffed, "Heh, even with increased Attack Power, it's still a small fry..."
"The follow-up effect of 'Common Soul'!" Judai smiled, "The 'Neo-Spacian' summoned through this effect can transfer its increased Attack Power to another monster on our field.
So according to this effect, the Attack Power of 'Elemental Hero Neos'... increases by 1300 points!"
[Elemental Hero Neos, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3800]
"What!?" Only then did the alien show a look of horror.
"Neos!" Judai shouted, "Attack 'Dimensional Kaiju Radian'!"
Flare Scarab clenched his fists with a shout, the boosted energy was transferred to Neos through the power of Neo-Space magic.
Only to see "Elemental Hero Neos" engulfed in flames, raising his right hand, the flowing fire around him was rapidly drawn out, spinning and condensing in his palm, soon transforming into a massive, blazing fireball!
"Ha!"
Neos forcefully threw the fireball, the trajectory of the flame twisted the space, like the finishing blow of a pitcher.
Radian's body couldn't withstand the pressure, ripped apart by the flames, its black form shattered into countless fragments. The impact of the flames didn't diminish, sending the alien flying mid-air and exploding into magnificent fireworks accompanied by a series of indistinct sharp screams.
[Alien, LP 900 → LP 0]
The spaceship following him seemed to realize trouble wasn't far, quickly spraying tail flames from the bottom and ascending, the surface of the whole ship gleaming and flickering, seemingly ready to re-enter optical camouflage mode and flee.
But it was too late.
Neos, having completed the strike, was unstoppable, trailing flames exploding forth. He shuttled up and down the spaceship, continually leaving voids on the ship. The entire massive ship leaked air everywhere, swaying in mid-air.
Finally, Neos flew high above, overlooking. The two Neo-Spacians struck simultaneously, energy constantly flowing into Neos' body. Neos spread his arms wide, the crystal blue on his chest bursting with light energy, piercing through the battered spaceship completely, eventually exploding and vanishing into smoke.
