CH.463 Fusion Gate Tournament – part 6
<span style="font-weight:400">“... how am I supposed to take that thing down?” Elias pondered aloud while Alice was shuffling our decks for the second duel of the match.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That is something you have to figure out soon, or you won’t win this match.” I told him, probably sounding smug.
<span style="font-weight:400">“... And I will.” Elias said, determination dripping from his voice.
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh my sweet summer child. You have no clue. Five-Headed Dragon won’t be the worst thing you will face in this match.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">“Elias. Pick which one of you will go first.” Alice said, as the second duel was about to begin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“... Brian will go first.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then let the duel begin.” Alice announced.
<span style="font-weight:400">I drew my opening hand and I was ready to start. My opening hand consisted of Painful Choice, Ultimate Fusion, Monster Reborn, Fairy Dragon and Tribute to the Doomed. Yeah. I can work with this, even if I can’t do my turn 1 Five-Headed Dragon y.

<span style="font-weight:400">I could summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but I kind of want to save Ultimate Fusion forter. Besides, I won the first duel of the match, so I can afford to hold back a bit.
<span style="font-weight:400">But just a bit. If Elias wants to win, he’ll have to earn his win.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I think I’ll start off with a card you remember from thest duel, Painful Choice. You know how this works, so I’ll just reveal the cards.” I said, before I searched my deck.
<span style="font-weight:400">This time, my selection was a bit different. I searched out my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, and two Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #1.

<span style="font-weight:400">The Winged Dragons are there just for milling, and because I can use one of them with Fairy Dragon to summon Kaiser Dragon if Elias picks one of them.
<span style="font-weight:400">“... Take one of the Winged Dragon Guardians.” Elias said.
<span style="font-weight:400">I did just that, sending the three Blue-Eyes to my graveyard. And yes, if I were overly evil, I could now summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with Ultimate Fusion, but I won’t be doing that just yet.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thanks. I’ll use it and the Fairy Dragon in my hand to summon Kaiser Dragon.”

<span style="font-weight:400">“That will be all for my first turn, so go ahead.” I ended my turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright. My turn. I draw.” Elias started his turn. “And I’ll start with Graceful Charity. I’ll draw three cards, then I’ll send The Snake Hair and Queen’s Double to the graveyard.”

<span style="font-weight:400">“Now I’ll use Pot of Greed to draw two cards.” Elias continued. “... good. All I need. I’ll y Monster Reborn! With it, I’ll summon one of your Blue-Eyes White Dragons to my side of the field.”

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">“But don’t get too used to it, because it won’t be staying. At least as it is currently. I fuse it together with the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my hand to fusion summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.”
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">“And then I’ll y Dimension Fusion to bring back my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons!” Elias continued.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">“Not quite!” I interrupted. “Because one of the Blue-Eyes you used for the Ultimate Dragon was mine, it was added to my banished pile, not yours. So your Dimension Fusion summons it to my field, not yours. I’m also summoning my banished Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #1 and Fairy Dragon in defense.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... I’ll still get two Blue-Eyes White Dragons.” Elias growled.
<span style="font-weight:400">By the way, my Blue-Eyes White Dragon was in attack position, because that way he’ll have to attack it with Ultimate Dragon if he wants to destroy it.
<span style="font-weight:400">And honestly, I’ll rather have it destroyed and sent to my GY than just keeping it on the field. Elias does have Brain Control in his deck, so he could use it to steal my Blue-Eyes, and then he could fuse it with the two others he just summoned back. And with Ultimate Fusion, it doesn''t really matter where my Blue-Eyes White Dragons are, as long as they aren''t in my deck.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">“Battle.” Elias started his battle phase. “Ultimate Dragon, attack his Blue-Eyes. Blue-Eyes White Dragon destroy his Kaiser Dragon. And myst Blue-Eyes will destroy your Winged Dragon.”
<span style="font-weight:400">All of Elias'' attacks went through, destroying three of my monsters, and I took 2200 damage.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll set two cards and end my turn.”

<span style="font-weight:400">“... honestly, not bad. You saw I had a weak opening board and took advantage of it. But that ends now.” I said, ready to start my turn. “I draw.”
<span style="font-weight:400">What I drew was Dragon’s Mirror, but I won’t be needing it this turn. It is time to remind Elias that this match is supposed to be a challenge, because I have cards he doesn’t.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll y my Ultimate Fusion! With it, I can shuffle the necessary fusion materials for any Fusion monster that specifically lists either Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from my hand, field or grave to my deck to perform a fusion summon.
<span style="font-weight:400">And I just so happen to have three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my grave, so I’ll shuffle all back to my deck to fusion summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... another card we didn’t have.” Elias said.
<span style="font-weight:400">“True. Think you would have used it if you could have?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... it does seem to go extremely well with that Painful Choice card. I did consider that card, but I didn’t think it was necessary.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you think now?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... still no. I think my deck is fine the way it is.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. Never doubt your deck. If you do, you won’t get the cards you need.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“But enough with meplimenting your trust in the heart of the cards. Battle. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack his Blue-Eyes White Dragon!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Elias didn’t counter my attack, instead just taking the 1500 damage and one dead Blue-Eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">“During my main phase 2, I’ll activate Tribute to the Doomed. I’ll discard my Dragon’s Mirror to destroy your Ultimate Dragon.” I activated a spell from my hand, because there is a high chance one of Elias’ set cards is Rush Recklessly. So if I let him keep the Ultimate Dragon, he will just attack over my Ultimate Dragon.
<span style="font-weight:400">And sure. I still have Monster Reborn so I could try to summon his Ultimate Dragon to my field, but he might also have Call of the Haunted, which he could chain to my Monster Reborn, taking away the target of my spell. And I don’t feel like wasting a Monster Reborn.
<span style="font-weight:400">So. “I’ll end my turn.”

<span style="font-weight:400">“Well done, Elias. You actually managed to win a duel.” I congratted my opponent between the matches.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And I’ll be winning the next one as well.” Elias dered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. I’d expect nothing less. … but I should warn you. My deck still has one more surprise left for you. Hopefully I can show you that surprise in the next duel.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Whatever it is, I’m sure I can take it down.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are both of you ready for the final duel of this match?” Alice asked, when she was done shuffling our decks. After we both answered with the affirmative, Alice asked the next question. “Brian, you lost, so pick who goes first.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I’ve done it twice, so I think it is Elias’ turn to go first.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Elias shall go first. Draw your opening hands and begin the duel.”

<span style="font-weight:400">But since Elias was the one going first, I waited for him to make his move.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll start by discarding a Thunder Dragon so I can add two more to my hand. I’ll then fuse them together to summon Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon. That will be all.” Elias ended his turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. My turn. I draw.” The card I drew was a second Ultimate Fusion. “And I’ll start with my Pot of Greed, so I’ll draw two more.” The cards I got were Painful Choice and a second Goddess with the Third Eye. “And I think it is once again time for the choice. The Painful Choice. And I think I’ll pick cards you remember from our first duel.” I said as I revealed three copies of Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #1 and two copies of Fairy Dragons.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Take the Fairy Dragon.” Elias said, not seeming overly happy.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I will. But I’ll use itter. Because now, it is time for the Ultimate Fusion. I fuse together the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons and one Goddess with the Third Eye to fusion summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... what? That isn’t … No! Another card we couldn’t have!” Elias called out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes. Goddess with the Third Eye can be used to rece any one named fusion material for any fusion summoning. In this case, it took the ce of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.” I informed him. “But enough about that. Let’s battle. If you can call this a battle. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy his Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.”
<span style="font-weight:400">The attack went through and Elias took 1700 damage.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll end my turn.”

<span style="font-weight:400">“... I’ve dealt with it before, and I can do it again.” Elias said, as he faced my God Dragon.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Perhaps. Butst time it was alone. This time, it won’t be! I activate Ultimate Fusion. With it, I can shuffle the materials of a fusion monster that needs Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as a material from my hand, field or grave to the deck to summon that monster.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“But you don’t have three Blue-Eyes anywhere, so you won’t be able to summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!” Elias said.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Who said I’m summoning it? Didn’t you catch the words? If it needs either Blue-Eyes White Dragon or <strong>Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon</strong> as a material.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... NO! Are you saying?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That there is a dragon so mighty it needs the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as a material. Yes. And it is time for that dragon to arrive, because I’m fusing the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in my graveyard with the Goddess with the Third Eye in my hand.

<span style="font-weight:400">“... okay. That might be an issue.” Elias said, and I noticed a drip of sweat rolling off his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And it gets worse. Dragon Master Knight’s effect. It gains an extra 500 attack points for each Dragon I control, except itself. Which admittedly is just one, but that is still an extra 500 points.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... so a dragon with 5000 attack and another with 5500 attack.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. You added that so quickly. How about subtraction? Because you are about to lose a lot of life points very quickly! Dragon Master Knight, attack his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Five-Headed Dragon, attack him directly.”
<span style="font-weight:400">With both attacks going through, Elias was left with just 300 life points, no cards in hand, and only a single set card on the field to his name.
<span style="font-weight:400">If he cane back from this, he will really deserve the reward.

<span style="font-weight:400">“... no pressure, huh. Just a draw that will decide everything.” Elias muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">This would be the moment Elias would have some sort of dramatic scene in his brain, so I do wonder, is he having one? Maybe. Let’s see what he does.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I draw!” Elias called out, as he drew the top card of his deck. He then looked at it, looking confused at first, almost like he drew a card which he didn’t know. But after reading it, he seemed extremely fired up.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll activate my set Call of the Haunted! With it, I’m calling back my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.” Elias seemed so happy to have his dragon on his field again. I do wonder. What did he draw? It can’t be just Rush Recklessly, because while that would allow him to get rid of Five-Headed Dragon, he will then just die to Dragon Master Knight on my next turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I activate my equip spell, Megamorph! And I’ll equip it to my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Now, as long as I have less life points than you do, my Ultimate Dragons attack points are doubled!”
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">And so, it was my turn to call out: “What!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">I know for a fact I didn’t allow that card, and considering that I’m the one who made the cards for this tournament, and I never printed one. Which means that someone ‘borrowed’ my dungeon core to print one.
<span style="font-weight:400">And with the stupid grin on Alice’s face, I can guess just who did that. And considering she was the one to shuffle our decks, she had the perfect opportunity to add it to Elias’ deck.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack! Destroy his Five-Headed Dragon!” Elias dered his attack.
<span style="font-weight:400">I naturally had no choice but to let the attack through. My Five-Headed Dragon was destroyed and I took 4000 damage. Also, since a dragon on my field was destroyed, Dragon Master Knight lost 500 attack, not that that matters much at this point.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Your turn Brian.” Elias ended his turn.
