Chapter Text
'Ok with out a way to crimson fox I can't win this turn with cat dancer and panther dancer can't hit over stealth ninjas defense so that means silver hounds out since I'll be locked into my Lunalights' biting her bottom lip Ranma desperately tried to assess her options, Denko Senkka had forced her into making aggressive plays probably as a way to bait her since Ryoga’s last two cards had to be hand traps or he would have used them to finish her off last turn. At least that’s what she hoped since she didn’t have a way towards game this turn.
"What's with the slow play Saotome! I thought you were all about speed!"
"Let a girl think would ya! What's your problem with me anyways you still haven't explained anythin Ryouga!"
"Like I need to explain myself to the likes of you!" Gritting his teeth Ryouga looked around to the sizable audience they gathered who probably saw him as nothing more than a brute beating on a poor helpless girl. "But fine since you want to know so bad. You stole everything from me my happiness my joy and my pride!"
"Aren't two of those basically the same thing?"
"Shut up! What's worse my eyes were opened as I followed you throughout Japan and China. I learned the truth about the monster you really are Ranma! I'll end this here and now!" Raising his fist to the sky, Ryouga expected the crowd to join his side now that he had exposed Ranma, but all he really got were some concerned looks.
Taking the opportunity to read her opponent’s cards while he tried to sway the crowd decided her play. ‘I can’t let steath ninja use it’s revival effect so that means.’ “I’ll normal summon Lunalight emerald bird and I'll use her effect to draw a card.”
As Ranma slid her copy of sliver hound into the grave and drew a new card, a teal skinned bird woman joined her side of the field in an orange dancers' outfit who begun to start to dance with yellow marten as cat dancer giggled at the two girls. (1200/1000)
“Sorry to interrupt girls but I’ll need the two of you to build the overlay network!”
________________________________________________
“That idiot, she better know what’s she’s doing” Akane, having finally calmed down enough to stop shaking Saiyuri, was immediately thrust into another crisis as her idiot took a risky play.
The glare Nabiki was giving the opposition wasn’t helping her nerves either. “It’ll be fine Kasmui’s lessons have been going well even if there is backlash Ranma will walk it off. What I’m worried about is whether this guy will actually accept the duel result or not.” Turning to look at the faculty that was debating whether this counted as a school duel or not only made the devil of furinkan high’s scowl worsen.
“I mean he’s Ranma’s old friend right? You can’t seriously think he’d not honor the duel?” Yuka got that the whole trying to crash a motorcycle into Ranma was well not a great look but disrespecting the result of a duel was way harsher crime. Also she needed to keep Akane calm. Ranma may not have been able to see the eyes Ryoga was giving her every time he thought she wasn't looking but the rest of them could.
“You see that yellow marker on the side of his face, it’s an old punishment they used to give to duelist who got arrested for illegal turbo duels. Now though duelists get it to show their loyalty to the yakuza or other minor duel gangs. So, ether Ranma’s old pal is a lot older than he looks or we better be prepared to rush in there when the duel ends.” Hiroshi was not happy he wasn’t getting his awesome turbo duel and instead had to worry about his new pal’s grudge match turning ugly. The rest of the number hunters exchanged worried looks as they turned their attention back to the match.
_________________________________________________
Having spun yellow marten into a dip emerald bird pulled the other girl up and let her leap into the air to become a yellow mote of light while she turned into a purple one. Both went into the black hole that had formed below their feet.
“Xyz summon! Rank 4! Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer!”
A pink avian monster formed from the explosion of light dressed to the nines in a blue soldier's uniform and carrying a musketeer ready to fire at their mistresses' foes. (2000/1500)
‘Yes and no backlash this time! Am I the best or what! Better thank ‘sumi later’ Smirking Ranma wiped the sweat from her forehead and began to make her play. “By detaching both overlay units, I can send one card on the field back into the deck so stealth ninja see ya!”
Gritting his teeth as a gust of wind from Castel’s mustkeet blew his synchro monster back into the deck, Ryoga sent the equipped soul horns to the graveyard. “How were you able to xyz summon you should only have access to fusion monsters?”
“Ha I’m just that good blockhead and I’m taking control of this duel!”
Narrowing his eyes at the girl’s softly glowing extra deck he came to his own conclusions rather than listen to his enemies boasts. “Removing one monster hardly counts as controlling the duel Saotome still as eager to get ahead of yourself as always.”
“Aw shut it would ya! Battle! Castel destroy Denko sekka and Cat dancer swipe his life points down!”
The blue haired samurai attempted to swipe the hail of bullets raining down on him with his word but alas he couldn’t handle the sheer number. Cat Dancer leapt to follow up her new comrade's attack but froze in place as a rainbow sheen glowed around her and immobilized her.
“Wha- Hey what’s the big idea!”
“Even someone as dumb as you should recognize this, Ranma. I activated Rainbow Kuriboh’s effect from my hand to equip onto cat dancer and since she has him stuck to her, she can’t attack” The smoke from Denko senkka demise cleared to reveal a relatively unharmed and smirking Ryouga.
Ryouga Hibiki: 3700 life points
“Grr using a card I gave you is a new low Ryouga! Fine main phase 2 I activate Luna Light perfume! This spell I drew off emerald bird’s effect will let me special summon a lunalight monster from my grave and I choose yellow marten in defense mode then I set one card face down. Turn end.” Snarling the pink haired girl set a card into her spell and trap zone, dueling was supposed to be fun and it was! Usually when she wasn’t dueling a jerk who insulted her every five minutes and seemed to have built his deck specifically to mess with her. They were best friends! What happened? Sure she missed their going away duel and he had gotten weird about holding her hand to make sure he didn’t get lost around that time, but it didn’t warrant this level of hostility! Still, he had one card in hand and no board presence at all, no way could he close out the game now. She’d get her answers one way or another.
‘Still not angry enough to use it huh, fine then I’ll crush you before you can blink Ranma’ Glaring across at his opponent who had that stupid determined look on her face she got whenever backed into a corner during those middle school days irked him a lot more than he liked to admit. Ryouga couldn’t afford the increase in skill level she seemed to get whenever it appeared. “What a long turn for a measly three hundred points of damage! My turn! Draw!”
“I special summon from my hand Superheavy Samurai Thief! Then I’ll special summon my Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter! I tune my level ten Thief with my level two Trumpeter! Synchro Summon! Great samurai that cleaves through my enemies' rain justice upon this wicked world and smash through those lost in fear! Level 12! Superheavy Samurai Brave Masurawo!”
Two new mechanized samurai plopped onto ryouga field but before Ranma could get a good look at them, they turned into the green light and rings of synchro summoning and in a burst of light something worse appeared. Almost towering over the school itself a monster created the largest impact crater she had seen yet, sleek red thrusters a white mechanical body and a mechanized glare set in just how much Ryouga had grown since middle school. (2100/4000)
“Level twelve....” Ranma couldn’t help but whisper in awe even if it wasn’t her first time staring down such a huge wall. The rest of the school seemed to have lost their voice in the face of such a monster as well. What was worse was that if she let it battle any of her attack position monsters she was done for. Shaking herself from her stupor Ranma made her next gamble. “I activate the quickplay spell Flash Fusion! I can fusion summon a monster using monster’s I control but it’s destroyed during the end phase!”
“In response to Flash Fusion I activate Brave Masurawo’s effect! If you activate a spell or tap outside of the damage step I get to draw until I have three cards in my hand and would you look at that my hand’s empty” Smirking the fanged boy couldn’t help but gloat a little as he drew the top three cards of his deck, Ranma was on the complete backfoot he had this in the bag.
“Dancer that fights in the night! Emerald bird that soars under the moon! Mustketeer who aims for the heavens! Spiral into an all-new beast! Fusion summon! Level 9! Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment!”
Slamming her palms together as her monsters became the orange vortex of fusion Ranma cried out. A dragon with three heads that summoned a blizzard along with it, curled defensively around it’s duelist and snarled at her opponent. However as soon as it appear it was shattered by the much larger mech as Ryouga moved to his battle phase. (2700/2000)
‘Can’t believe that old ghoul’s soul of ice card is coming in handy, but I'll take what I can get. That was way to close.’
“You're just stalling the inevitable Saotome! I end my turn.”
“Draw. I activate the spell card allure of darkness! I get to draw two new cards but I have to banish a dark monster in my hand if I want to keep my hand so bye bye Predaplant Sarraceniant!” looking over her two new cards Ranma saw her path to victory glaring at the boy across from her. “I activate Lunalight Fusion! Since you control a monster special summoned from the extra deck I can have one of the materials be from my deck or extra deck! So I send the Lunalight Tiger in my hand and a Lunalight Kaleido Chick from deck to grave. Fusion summon! Lunalight Perfume Dancer!”
Putting Cat Dancer to shame with a far more flirtatious dance a purple haired cat woman in a red one piece sauntered onto Ranma’s field giving the girl quick peck on the cheek, causing the shorter girl to go red as her jacket and sweat to run down her back as she could sense Akane’s glare from the oohing crowd, Ryouga’s stunned and bright red face wasn’t helping ether! (2000/1500)
“It’s not my fault! She picked up the habits of who she was based on before I could stop her! Ugh why am I defending myself to you. Perfume Dancer’s effect lets me add a Luna Light Perfume from my deck to my hand when summoned! Using the perfume in the grave I can discard a card to add any Lunalight monster from my deck to my hand! I choose Lunalight Wolf!”
A purple skinned wolf girl in a green dress appeared beside Ranma in a pillar of light as she set the card in her pendulum zone.
“Using the pendulum effect I fusion summon! I banish black sheep, emerald bird and silver hound for the materials! Lunalight Sabre Dancer! She gains two hundred attack for every beast-warrior in either banishment or either graveyard and since there’s currently seven that's a fourteen-hundred-point boost!”
Purring over the gold glad warrior that came out of the latest fusion vortex perfume dancer leaned her body on the serious and proud sabre dancer. (3000/2600) -> (4400/2600)
“Next I’ll use yellow marten’s effect from grave to special summon her by sending wolf back to my hand and I’ll tribute summon wolf right after that effect resolves! Wolf’s effect gives all my Lunalights piercing battle damage!”
“But that mean’s I’ll actually take damage when you attack Brave Masurawo!” Shocked out of his pretty woman induced silence Ryouga couldn’t help by cry out.
“That’s right! Thanks for being such a good sport about Ryouga. Go Sabre Dancer!”
Twirling perfume dancer who was still leaning on her into a dip sabre dancer chucked her sword at Brave Masurawo. It exploded into shards of light and smoke she leaned in to kiss the other monster as they continued to dance.
Ryoga Hibiki: 3300 life points
“Perfume Dancer you’re up next!”
“Rainbow Kuriboh's graveyard effect! He special summons himself to my side of the field!” Ryouga knew he didn’t have enough to stop Ranma’s kill turn but this would at least buy him some time to start up his duel runner as he grabbed his spare bandana's from the glove compartment sharpening one of them into a blade with his iron cloth technique.
As the dancing pair tango's led them to the opposite side of the field Perfume Dancer stomped on the newly formed kuriboh.
Ryoga Hibiki: 1400 life points
“Wolf wrap this up!”
Slashing the boy revving his engine wolf brought the duel to a close but as soon as the system declared her duelist the winner, Ryouga shot off like a bullet towards Ranma while her and her fellow warriors had to watch helpless as they disappeared into light as the duel field closed.
Ryouga Hibiki: 0 life points
Winner: Ranma Saotome!
“Ranma!”
