"I'm the EARTH sibling, good luck. You'll need it."
He says, showing his back. His leather jacket has the symbol of the Duel Monsters' EARTH attribute.
Heh, great. I won't have real good luck even if my opponent gives it to me.
[Duel Start!]
[Yōso Chikyū vs Yoshiro Yuta]
[Turn 1]
[Yōso Chikyū's Turn]
[Main Phase]
The man smiles, his moustache curving upwards from his smile. He seems content with his initial hand. On the contrary, as I look at mine, I realise something... I didn't get that lucky. I have a bunch of monsters and Toon World, but that's about it.
"I activate my Field Spell Card 'Revolving Switchyard', which allows me to search and add 'Night Express Knight' to my Hand from my Deck by sending 'Magnet Force' to the Graveyard!"
['Revolving Switchyard', Field Spell Card Activated in Chikyū's Field Zone]
['Revolving Switchyard', Field Spell Card]
[You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add 1 Level 10 EARTH Machine monster from your Deck to your hand.]
So I did see that his stronger Deck Extra monster is a Level 10 XYZ Monster with 3000 ATK and a burn-for-2000-HP effect. That field has to have something to do with the summoning of that monster. Because of that, I decide I'll try to remember what the field and his Level 10 monster do at the start of my turn. If I start remembering it now, I'd zone out.
"I Normal Summon 'Ruffian Railcar'! Once it is summoned, I activate its effect to deal 500 Life Points worth of damage to you!"
Meh, a little burn damage. Typical.
['Ruffian Railcar' Normal Summoned in face-up Attack Position in Chikyū's Third Monster Zone]
['Ruffian Railcar', EARTH Monster]
[Level 4/Machine/Effect]
[Once per turn: You can inflict 500 damage to your opponent. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect.]
[1800 ATK, 1000 DEF]
[Yuta's LP: 8000 --> 7500]
"Now, if there is a Machine monster face-up on the field, I can Special Summon 'Convex Knight' from my Hand!"
['Convex Knight' Special Summoned in face-up Defense Position in Chikyū's Second Monster Zone]
['Convex Knight', EARTH Monster]
[Level 4/Machine/Effect]
[If a Machine monster is on the field and this card is in your hand: You can Special Summon this card in Defense Position, then you can make its Level become equal to the Level/Rank of 1 Machine monster on the field.]
[1800 ATK, 500 DEF]
"Now! I will Overlay 'Convex Knight' and 'Ruffian Railcar' to XYZ Summon 'Gagaga Cowboy' in Defense Position! And, by detaching 'Ruffian Railcar' from him, I will deal 800 Lifepoints of damage to you!"
['Gagaga Cowboy', EARTH Monster]
[Rank 4/Warrior/XYZ/Effect]
[2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; apply this effect, depending on this card's current battle position.
● Defense Position: Inflict 800 damage to your opponent.]
[1500 ATK, 2400 DEF]
[Yuta's LP: 7500 --> 6700]
"I set one card in the spell/trap card zone and go into my End Phase."
[End Phase]
"During my End Phase, 'Ruffian Railcar' on my GY allows me to add 'Rocket Arrow Express' to my Hand from my Deck."
['Ruffian Railcar', EARTH Monster]
[During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can add 1 Level 10 EARTH Machine monster from your Deck to your hand.]
[Turn 2]
[Yoshiro Yuta's Turn]
[Draw Phase]
"Draw!" I look at my hand, I have 'Toon Mermaid', 'Toon Harpie Lady', 'Manga Ryu-Ran', 'Toon World', 'Toon Cannon Soldier', and the one I just drew, 'Toon Bookmark'. Drawing that card gives me some insurance and makes my hand noticeable better. Even though 'Manga Ryu-Ran' is a big ass brick in my Hand right now.
[Main Phase]
I need to remember what the effects of 'Revolving Switchyard' and 'Night Express Knight' are, since I suspect they're the key to him summoning his Rank 10 XYZ Monster. A small headache follows me trying to remember, but it is worth it.
'Revolving Switchyard' allows you to Special Summon a Machine from your deck and make it level 10 upon summoning a Level 10. 'Night Express Knight' can be Normal Summoned without tributes by making its ATK 0. What that means is that I need to get rid of the field spell now if I want a chance at winning.
First things first, use Book so I can banish it if he tries to destroy my 'Toon World'.
"I activate my Spell Card 'Toon Bookmark', which allows me to add 'Comic Hand' from my Deck to my Hand."
I found a good enough line that leaves him without monsters and gives me a direct attack while getting rid of the field. And it all starts this way.
"Now, I activate 'Toon World', sacrificing 1000 LP to do so."
[Yuta's LP: 6700 --> 5700]
['Toon World', Activated in Yuta's first Spell/Trap Zone]
"You fool, if you keep sacrificing your Life Points for worthless cards, you'll end up losing!"
I simply ignore him. I can Special Summon two monsters and normal summon one to XYZ Summon into One-Eyed. This time, it is actually worth it, unlike when I fought Lukas.
"Thanks to having 'Toon World' face-up on the field, I can Special Summon 'Toon Mermaid' and 'Toon Harpie Lady'. Due to her effect, I'll destroy your Field Spell!"
"No way! I needed that!"
"I know, that is why it is gone."
"Damn you..."
['Toon Mermaid' Special Summoned in face-up Defense Position in Yuta's First Monster Zone]
['Toon Harpie Lady' Special Summoned in face-up Defense Position in Yuta's Second Monster Zone]
['Toon Mermaid', WATER Monster]
[Level 4/Aqua/Toon/Effect]
[Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand), while you control "Toon World". ]
[1400 ATK, 1500 DEF]
['Toon Harpie Lady', WIND Monster]
[Level 4/Winged Beast/Toon/Effect]
[Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. If you control "Toon World": You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then, if you control another Toon monster, you can destroy 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls.]
[1300 ATK, 1400 DEF]
His field spell slowly crumbles down and is sent to his Graveyard. I'm so close to winning, since I stopped his main win condition.
"No way... You really stopped it," is what I expected to hear, but no, he doesn't say that. I can see his moustache vibrate. And then he does speak.
"Tch, you'll regret pushing me back into this position"
"Now, I Normal Summon 'Toon Cannon Soldier'!"
['Toon Cannon Soldier' Special Summoned in face-up Attack Position in Yuta's Third Monster Zone]
['Toon Cannon Soldier', DARK Monster]
[Level 4/Machine/Toon/Effect]
[1400 ATK, 1300 DEF]
"Triple XYZ summon is rare. Even rarer to summon all 3 monsters required during your first turn! Yet this kid's just done it!"
"Yeah! I overlay 'Toon Cannon Soldier', 'Toon Mermaid', and 'Toon Harpie Lady' to XYZ Summon 'One-Eyed Skill Gainer. And by detaching 'Toon Cannon Soldier', it will copy your monster, Gagaga Cowboy's name and effects!'
['One-Eyed Skill Gainer' XYZ Summoned in face-up Attack Position in Yuta's Second Monster Zone]
['One-Eyed Skill Gainer', LIGHT Monster]
[Rank 4/Warrior/XYZ/Effect]
[3 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls; this card's name and original effect become the same as that monster. ]
[1400 ATK, 1300 DEF]
"Lastly, I activate 'Comic Hand', taking control of your 'Gagaga Cowboy'. And by detaching 'Convex Knight' from it, I use its effect to deal 800 Lifepoints of damage to you, Yōso!"
[Yōso Chikyū's LP: 8000 --> 7200]
"I enter Battle Phase and attack you directly by using 'One-Eyed Skil Gainer'!"
[[Yōso Chikyū's LP: 7200 --> 4700]
"And, lastly, I end my turn." That was a very good turn. I summoned a strong XYZ Monster, and I have some other strong XYZ Monster I took from my opponent. And lastly, he still has his trump card. Which I now know.
[End Phase]
[Turn 3]
[Yōso Chikyū's Turn]
[Draw Phase]
"Draw!" He draws a card and smiles.
