"Destiny Draw, activate!"
"My turn, draw!" Hoshino's confident expression replaced her earlier anxiety as she drew a card from Yugi's deck with flair.
Dark Magician, Yugi's soul card.
Seeing the Dark Magician she had just drawn, Hoshino glanced at her hand and smiled slightly. "Da Vinci, you really are sothing with this high-tech wizardry."
If there was one card in Yugi's deck that could turn the tide, it had to be this Dark Magician.
"What an annoying smile. Are you still struggling at this point?" Bakura, who had intended to enjoy Hoshino's despair, was montarily taken aback by her sudden smile.
"It's not that,it's that it has finally co to this!" Hoshino's fighting spirit reignited as she looked at Bakura.
"I flip my face-down card, Mystical Elf, to attack position and activate its flip effect!" Hoshino revealed Anzu, who was glowing with a sacred light.
Flip effects are powerful effects that so monsters have, which are activated when they change from face-down defense position to face-up.
[Flip/Effect: When this card is flipped face-up, target 1 Spell Card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.]
"I choose this Spell Card from the Graveyard." Hoshino retrieved a card from the Graveyard and placed it on the table.
"Monster Reborn, revive Commander (Honda)!" With the activation of Monster Reborn, Honda, who had been sent to the Graveyard, reappeared on the field.
[Commander (Honda)★★Dark][Warrior-Type][ ATK:750 DEF:700]
This Monster Reborn was used earlier by Yugi to revive Honda and had remained in the Graveyard until now.
"I'm alive again?" Honda, resurrected for the second ti, felt guilty, having used up two precious Monster Reborn cards.
"It's okay, Honda. I'll make sure everyone survives." Hoshino reassured the guilty Honda with a smile.
"Everyone? So that ans Jonouchi too..." Honda looked around, realizing Jonouchi was missing. "Damn, even Fla Swordsman got destroyed."
"Hahaha, reviving weak monsters again? That's why you can't beat ," Bakura laughed maniacally, slapping his knee. "You and your friendship gas are both amusing and disgusting to ."
"Pity you. You've been fighting alone for millennia; it must be lonely." Hoshino placed a monster card on the table.
"I summon Heroic Spirit- dea!" This card was the reason Hoshino had co here, as only the Master of Chaldea could activate the true effect of a Servant card.
[Heroic Spirit- dea★★★★Dark][Spellcaster-Type/Effect][ ATK:500 DEF:100]
"I've been waiting for you, Master," dea smiled seductively as she materialized on the field. "I always believed you would co, and my efforts weren't in vain."
"dea? I rember you putting Mash in the deck..." Realizing sothing, Bakura glared at Hoshino. "You saw through my plan from the start, didn't you?"
"Who knows?" Hoshino responded coldly, not giving a direct answer. Although dea had sensed sothing amiss, a vague response was the best way to pressure Bakura.
"Ready, dea? Activate dea's special effect!"
"I've been ready for a long ti, Master. Let's show that boy the Chaldea's power."
[When this card is Normal Summoned successfully, target the last Spell Card activated by each player; copy their effects and activate them again. (Spell Cards that can't be activated are considered invalid.)]
"What!" Bakura's expression was one of utter shock as he watched dea chant on the field.
"Playing tricks with a witch? You're still a long way off, boya." dea taunted Bakura.
"Activate the effect of Monster Reborn again to revive Fla Swordsman from my Graveyard." Hoshino quickly placed Fla Swordsman on the table, afraid Jonouchi might be taken by the Reaper.
"That was close," Jonouchi said, wiping sweat from his forehead as he reappeared. "I thought I'd never see you guys again. Thanks, Hoshino."
"Even if you revive all the soul cards, as long as Demon Lord is on the field, you can't win!" Bakura said calmly. "If you dare destroy Demon Lord, you'll face a wipeout, which is exactly what I want to see, hahaha."
"You're weak, Millennium Ring. You forgot the last Spell Card you used," Hoshino said disdainfully, activating dea's effect again.
"Copy the opponent's last Spell Card, Change of Heart!" With Hoshino's command, the angelic Bakura reappeared on the field, this ti standing with her friends.
"Thank you, Hoshino." The gentle Bakura looked up at her. "I can finally help my friends."
"With Change of Heart, I control Demon Lord for one turn!" Despite Demon Lord's power, it obediently stood on Hoshino's field.
"It's crowded. This guy is huge," Jonouchi complained as the five monsters, including the massive Demon Lord, filled the field.
"Very impressive, Hoshino. I admit your Servant card has ga-changing effects." Bakura clapped coldly. "But don't forget Demon Lord's attack condition: [This card can only attack if there are no other monsters on your field]. That ans it's just a useless stump on your field, and your remaining monsters can't reduce my LP to zero."
"Next turn, when Change of Heart's effect ends, the victory will be mine. You didn't account for that, did you, Hoshino Chiyuki? Hahaha." Bakura continued to laugh, ignoring Hoshino's confident expression.
"There is no next turn, Millennium Ring." Hoshino had two cards left: Dark Magician and...
"Activate the Spell Card, Dinsion Magic!" Slamming the last card on the table, Hoshino secured victory conditions for the dark ga.
[Magical DinsionsQuick-Play Spell Card Effect: If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster, target 1 monster you control; tribute that target, then Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand.]
"The Spellcaster-Type monsters on the field are Mystical Elf and Servant - dea, so Dinsion Magic's activation condition is t! I tribute Demon Lord!"
"Impossible, no way!" Bakura's eyes widened as Demon Lord was sealed in a magical coffin. Though Demon Lord's destruction would destroy all monsters, tributing it prevented this effect.
"Special Summon the Spellcaster-Type monster from my hand, Dark Magician!" Hoshino revealed her final card, Yugi's soul card.
[Dark Magician★★★★★★★Dark][Spellcaster-Type][ATK:2500 DEF:2100]
The magical coffin opened, and Dark Magician erged triumphantly.
"Magical Dinsion , performance complete." Hoshino smiled.
Yugi, in Dark Magician attire, appeared on the field. All the soul cards were now on the field.
"Every one of them is here. Bakura, you've lost completely." The Pharaoh, impressed by Hoshino's strategy, finally spoke. "The only thing you miscalculated was the mysterious power of Hoshino."
"It's not my power," Hoshino shook her head, whispering, "It's the power of Chaldea!"
"Everyone, direct attack on Millennium Ring!"
[Fla Swordsman] [Commander] [Mystical Elf] [Servant - dea] [Dark Magician] = Direct attack, reducing Bakura's LP to zero.
"You're finished, Millennium Ring!"
Bakura LP → 0
