Chapter 2: New Domino Grand Prix
Small bridge under New Domino Open canals, 8:14 AM
Enrion: well, lets go!
she activates her disc again and locks onto his, starting a new duel, with her lifepoints at 7000
Enrion: ill go first, ill set 2 cards face down and end my turn
Soul Hacker 2: (thinking) from what I've seen she likes effects and trap cards, this should slow her down
Soul Hacher 2: ill summon to the field koa'ki Mieru sandman, and have it attack your face down
the koa'ki mieru sandman stretches his hand back, and then fires it forward. As it goes forth, it stretches and expands, engulfing her face down monster in sand, temporarilary obscurring vision and spreading some on Enrion. however, When the sand in the air settle to the ground, Enrion isn't worried, but dusting sand off her clothes, and in the area where enrion's card was engulfed in sand, what appears to be a peach colored ball is sticking out of the sand.
Soul Hacker 2: what the - argh! (Soul Hacker 2's lp: 7000)
Enrion: what you'd expect, a shine ball? no, its a marshmallon
On the peach ball, a face suddenly and slowly forms on it, and when it fully appears, it taunts the soul hacker with its tounge
Soul Hacker 2: ugh what a disgusting ball!
Enrion: probably, but its your turn so ...............
Soul Hacker 2: argh, ill set 1 card face down and end my turn
Enrion: my turn
Enrion: ill summon to the field the agent of creation-venus, again, and ill use her effect, paying 500 lifepoints to
Soul Hacker 2: not so fast, activate skill drain, paying 1000 lifepoints to activate it. All effect monsters on the field lose their effects! (Soul Hacker 2's lp: 6000)
The agent of creation - venus:
Enrion: dont get your panties tied up, both of you. Activate my face down card, mystical space typhoon, destroying skill drain
the agent of creation - venus: >_<
Soul Hacker 2: what!?
Enrion: anyway, ill pay 500, no 1000 lifepoints to play 2 more shine balls again. Dont you love shiny balls? ^_^ (Enrion's lp: 6000)
Enrion: and now, ill xyz summon using the two shine balls again, to play daigusto phoenix. Again, ill detatch a shine ball, for 2 attacks. Ill also activate emergency teleport, and special summon krebons from my deck. Now, synchro summon using krebons and the marshmallon you hate so, so much, to play another card you'll hate even more, ally of justice catastor
Soul Hacker 2: .............
Enrion: now a surprise. the agent of creation-venus, will attack koa'ki mieru sandman
Soul Hacker: what?
*without hesitation, the agent of creation-venus, fires a beam from her hand at the sandman, the beam hits, but is blocked my his chest. then, enrion places a card between her fingers again, waving it at them smiling
Enrion: remember this?
Soul Hacker 2: oh no .....
The agent of creation-venus smiles, then puts her two hands close together while firing the beam at sandman. This time, it grows big enough to engulf the sandman entirely. When it dies down from venus being exhausted, the sandman is completely gone; not even sand is left
Soul Hacker 2: urgh .......... (Soul hacker 2's lp: 4400)
The agent of creation-venus: (panting)
Enrion: good work!
Enrion then pats venus on her butt, who flinches, then slaps her
Enrion: ow! (rubs her face)
Soul Hacker 2 and 3: ..................
the agent of creation-venus: >_<
Enrion: fine ...... daigusto phoenix attacks you twice next (Soul Hacker 2's lp: 1400)
Soul Hacker 2: argh!
Enrion: now catastor..........wait
Ally of Justice Catastor: ???
Enrion: uhhhhhhhhh...................do it gently please
Ally of justice catastor:.............
Soul Hacker 2: what do you -
Catastor then points a laser at the soul hacker's body, and carries it up to his head. When it reaches, it then fires a small shot at his head. The soul hacker drops to his knees, then to the floor, and his body vanishes
Enrion: there we go
She shuts down her duel disc, then turns her attention to the last soul hacker, who is so scared he cant control his shaking
Enrion: hello
Soul Hacker 3: who........are you ?
Enrion: tell me, do you like the sun ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Neo Domino Tournament Arena, 8:16 am
The crowd is still angry at the absense of Enrion, with the crowd throwning food and drinks into the Arena while the spokesperson dodges it, and the opponent simply sits in the arena. Meanwhile, from her Lobby Curea looks down, uncaring of the crowd and very bored
Curea: and I thought I was barbaric. a short wait for a duel and already they act like cavemen. Nonetheless, that girl better show up, or this will be a waste and a free win
meanwhile, at the canals, across the area one can see marks of a fire all over, the place itself looks like a large fire was here. the soul hackers are gone, and enrion is there, her clothes still intact, but she herself is breathing a bit hard, and her duel disc is reading 4500 lifepoints
Enrion: (thinking) I burnt a bit too much energy there.............whew. At least, they're gone now, so no more worries for the while
she wipes the sweat off her forehead and looks up towards the sun, looking at it directly with a smile on her face
Enrion: mission complete
Enrion:
OH (censored) the tournament!
In total panic, she activates her disc and scampers through her deck for a mystical shine ball. She finally gets one, falls on her knees, kisses it and plays it on her disc. She then activates the trigger below her disc, surrounding her in a while gust. A shining ball forms in her hand, and she pushes it into the air, where it slowly disappears again
Enrion: (thinking) come on, come on! I cant afford to be late for my first tournament T_T!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Neo Domino Tournament Arena, 8:19 am
there is even more junk at the sides of the arena, and Curea watches down with an upset look on her face, as the phone on her desk continues to ring
Curea: .......................................... (sighs)
Curea: (thinking) tardiness cant be tolerated any further, guess you got lucky, whoever you are down there
She goes to the phone and answer it, and returns to the window and looks down again
Person on phone: (on other lines) is this Ms Aiza
Curea: yes, its Curea, what now ?
Person on phone: (on other line) what are we to do about enrion, ma'am
Curea: well, you can go ahead and - wait!
Person on phone: (on other line) ma'am ?
Curea: wo is that running into the arena ?
She looks down to see a girl in white and purple running into the arena, stopping at the spokesperson and holding her knees, panting hard
Enrion: (panting) sorry...............sorry I'm late
Spokesperson: hm ?
Enrion: (panting) its..................its enrion cortus here sir
Spokesperson: FINALLY !
Alex: about time you reached, were you tending to children or something?
Enrion: ok, people need to STOP THINKING I'M A MOTHER! I AM 16 YEARS OLD AND STILL A VIRGIN !
Alex:
Enrion: ...............
Spokesperson: too much info do you think ..............
Enrion: huh ?
the spokesperson points up, and enrion looks at the crowd, who are all staring at her in awe
Enrion: sorry :embarrased:
spectator: wow, she's a virgin ?
spectator 2: she must be practicing to be the hottest nun on the planet, that's the only way she could still be a virgin looking like that
Spectator 3: I would screw that until she couldn't breathe! wow!
Curea: (facepalms herself) wow what a dumb girl, but really, how is she still a virgin?
Spokesperson: ahem!
the spokesperson returns to the center of the arena, and instructs enrion and alex to go to their places, then takes notice of Enrion's disc and realizes its reading 5000 lifepoints, instead of 8000
Spokesperson: Enrion, please reset your duel disc back to 8000
Enrion: uhhh, I can't, its stuck. i'll duel with 5000 lifepoints anyway, ill be fine
Spokesperson: uhhhh, you do realize what you're doing right? If you choose to play with that, any win is still legit
Alex: yea, i dont want to win THAt easy
Enrion: trust me, it wont be THAT easy
Alex: pfft, if you say so
Enrion: ill be fine, no need to worry. the crowd is waiting too
Spokesperson: right

Spokesperson: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE 100th ANNUAL WORLD DUELING GRAND PRIX! FEATURING DUELIST FROM ALL ACROSS JAPAN AND THE WORLD ITSELF AS THEY BATTLE TO EARN THE TITLE OF THE KING OF DUELISTS!

Alex: how long do you think you'll last?
Enrion: long enough

they lock onto each other's disc, and the duel begins

Enrion: now, ill summon to the field the agent of mystery - earth, and ill activate her effect, and add the agent of creation - venus from my deck to my hand
Enrion: your turn
As the turn switches to Alex, the agent of mystery - earth, turns around to look at Enrion, worried at the fact her life points are low and she seems to have ran a mile, but then, Enrion gives off a warm smile, and she turns back to the opponent
Enrion: your turn
Alex: ill go
Alex: (thinking) no, its not time, everything isn't here
Alex: ill set 1 monster face down and end my turn
Enrion: well, my turn

Alex: (thinking) I see....
Enrion: Daigusto phoenix will attack (Alex's lp: 5000)
Enrion: now so too will the agent of creation - venus (Alex's lp: 3400)
after the attack, venus turns around to watch enrion, who is now both sweating and panting, making her worried
Enrion: (panting slowly) this isn't so bad
The agent of creation - venus: ..........
Enrion: (panting slowly) your turn
Alex: heh, nice move
Alex: (thinking) so that is what those were for, well then

Alex: next, ill summon xx-saber emmersable, on 1600 attack from the field spell
Alex: now ill play saber slash, and destroy your daigusto phoenix
Alex: now, xx-saber emmersable will attack the agent of creation - venus
Alex: (thinking) they'll destroy each other and trigger emmersable's effect, which will give me a clear shot at her
Enrion: damage step, ill discard from my hand honest, (pants) boosting venus' attack by the attack of your monster
Enrion: making her 3200 attack, (pants) until the turn ends (Alex's lp: 1800)

Enrion: its..............your turn
Alex: well then
Alex: ill go
Alex: ill summon to the field x-saber airbellum, and now ill activate my face down card, gottoms emergency call
Enrion: oh dear
Alex: that's right, since I control an x-saber monster I can special summon 2 more from my grave, and I pick x-saber darksoul and x-saber fulhelmknight
Alex: synchro summon xx-saber darksoul and xx-saber fulhelmknight, to special summon naturia barkion

Alex:and now x-saber airbellum will discard 1 card from your hand (dark hole)
Enrion: chain, summon to the field gorz the emissary of darkness, and ill use its effect, and special summon a token on 1600 defense
Alex: well, naturia barkion will attack the token
Alex: well, looks like you survived
Enrion: (panting hard) I'm not easy
Enrion: what now (panting hard)
Alex: now, ill synchro summon, using naturia barkion and x-saber airbellum, xx-saber gottoms
Enrion: oh dear....
Alex: (thinking) dark hole is already gone and she has no monster she can play to get above this
Alex: this game is mine
Alex: and ill end my turn and use darksoul's effect, and add xx-saber gardestrike from my deck to my hand
Enrion: (panting hard)
Alex: you honestly do not look well, I'd quit and see a doctor if I were you
the crowd watches in silence as she draws her next card and watches it, breathing very hard and sweating alot
Curea: despite the fact that this is a handicapped duel
Curea: she should know better than to come in such a state, and even accept to battle like this
Curea: wonder what she'll do now
Enrion watches the card, and stops breathing so hard, and stares up at the sun with her eyes wide open
Alex: isn't that dan-
Enrion: tell me, do you like the sun ?
Alex: uhhh, well, yes, why
she then lowers her head and watches him with a smile on her face
Enrion: just wanted to know
Enrion: ill banish from my grave the agent of mystery - earth, to play on the field this card
She plays a card on her disc, and a huge mystical shine ball pops up
Alex: eh ?
Alex: (thinking) what could that do, and didn't she already use all 3 ?
Alex: huh ?
He then begins to notice that the shine ball starts to glow orange instead of white like it normally would, making him worried
Enrion: behold, the will of the sun itself
Enrion: Master Hyperion !
And with that, the orb explodes, illuminating the place with fire and shocking everyone, even curea who is a bit blinded by the light. Admist the flames, two small flame streams crossing each other part ways to reveal what the explosion was caused by, a monster twice as tall as a human, with flames coming from its back, connected to both flame streams almost like wings; master hyperion himself, kneeling down. He gets off his knees and face alex, who is now sweating far more than enrion ever was
Alex:
Alex: grr, my monster is still stronger
Enrion: doesn't matter, ill use its effect, banishing a mystical shine ball from my grave to, well, destroy xx-saber gottoms
With that, hyperion points his hand towards gottoms, and a red, glowing ball forms in his hand. The ball fires out and collides with gottoms, exploding on contact and engufling it in a huge ball of flames. The ball quickly dissapates, leaving no trace of gottoms
Alex: (shaking) oh dear .........
Enrion: and now, hyperion will attack you
He repeats what he did with gottoms, only this time, forming a much larger sphere, which, when it makes contact with alex, doesn't just engulf him, but the entire arena is engulfed in a large, orange explosion, which engulfs even enrion. it quickly dissapates, leaving the entire area scorched with carbon marks resulting from burning, alex dizzy and burnt about his clothes, enrion holstering carbon marks all across her body, and no sign of any of the duel monsters, with the crowd in total awe. The lifepoints on Alex disc shows 0, while enrion's own shows 2400
Enrion: well, guess its over
With that, enrion stares at the sky and falls onto her knees, dazed and barely conscious of her surroundings
Enrion: (talking weakly and disoriented) I need a bath.....
Spokesperson:
Spokesperson:
oh (clears his throat)
Spokesperson: THE WINNER OF THE 5th ROUND, ENRION CORTUS !!!
And the crowd begins to cheer loudly. Meanwhile, in Curea's lounge
Curea: tired, handicapped and at the bad end of x-sabers and still you managed to live
Curea: as for that monster of yours..............
She then takes her duel disc off her hand and holds it in her two arms
Curea: this may actually be interesting now wont it, grapha ?
With that, the duel disc starts to release a black, misty aura around it, almost as if responding to Curea's question

Bus Stop at New Domino City Entrance, 12:00 pm
On the bust stop bench, Enrion is sound asleep with 2 small containers at her side in the sun, snoring softly while resting on her hand. A girl passes by, notices she is sleeping, and tries to wake her up
Girl: hey............wake up
Enrion: (snoring)
Girl:..........
Then, the girl steps away a bit, raises her hand, and slaps enrion on her chest, immediately waking her up as her eyes bulge a bit in pain
Enrion: ow you -
Girl: (watches enrion)...........
Enrion: (watches the girl)
Girl: sorry, but this is what homeless people do, not mothers
Girl: you shouldn't be sleeping here
Enrion:................
Enrion: thanks
Girl: you're welcome
And the girl walks off. Enrion watches as she walks off, cross eyes, then sighs and slumps back into the seat, her hands sprawled out. She turns her head and stare blankly at the containers in the sun for a while
Enrion:................
Enrion: (thinking) the bus isn't coming soon, and at this rate the ice cream will melt.......
Enrion: (thinking) no one likes hot ice cream..........
Then, she stares at her arm on the other side of her. Its the one with the duel disc, and its reading 5000 lifepoints, steadily increasing
Enrion:...........
Enrion: (thinking) I wonder.......
She stares at it for a while, tensing her arm a bit as it rests there. A few minutes pass, her arm is still tense and she's sweating a bit
Enrion: (thinking) this is so hard to do when weak and tired.......
Then, a small light forms in her hands, a bit hard to distinguish in the sunlight, and she smiles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orphanage entrance at the sea side of Toyama Prefecture, 12:10 pm
At a bench outisde at the orphanage porch, Kaiza is also asleep on it, shaded my the house roof while sleeping on the bench as if its a bed. Then, a loud crash is heard which wakes Kaiza up. he yawns, squints his eyes and looks forward, waking up completely in shock when he sees his sister a short distance from the house, holding two containers close to her chest, in her arms
Kaiza:
Enrion: ^_^
He then jumps off the chair and runs to her. She places the containers to the side of her, kneels down and catches him as he reaches her, hugging him
Kaiza: SIS !!!!!!
Enrion: (laughs a bit) told you ill be back, and I got the ice cream
Kaiza: really ?
Enrion: yep, pineapple, just as you liked
Kaiza: yay
Kaiza: and how was your tournament round ?
Enrion: I won
Kaiza: sweet
Then, he pauses for a moment, catching his sister's attention
Enrion: what's wrong ?
He then points to the fountain in front of the orphanage
Kaiza: how did that get there ?
Enrion: what ?
She turns around, and starts to cold sweat at what Kaiza was pointing at. Where the fountain was, a large container about as tall as a human is now stuck in it, destroying one half of the fountain with its presence, and spewing water in all directions
Enrion:
Enrion: (pats Kaiza on the head with a nervous smile) dont worry about it
Kaiza: uhh, sure
Enrion: (thinking) its me who has to worry
Enrion: (thinking) damn it, I need to direct my dimensional warps better
End of Chapter 2
